In announcing his decision, Judge
Walsh said:
In this case, as it appears that

Thirteen-Page Decision
Judge Walshs thirteen-page de-
cision left both parties with the
right to carry the case to the state
supreme court. 1t was filed with
the clerk in an empty courtroom.
Neither Jelke nor his slender, blond
wife was present.
Regarding the mutual charges of
extreme cruelty, he stated:
There is no doubt from all the
evidence that this 53-year- old hus-
band was deeply infatuated with his
young wife, and we are not con-
WINGED that the wife reciprocated
this affection.
1--WE are inclined to believe that
for her it was a marriage of con-
venience and an opportunity to in
dulge in luxury rather than an OPP
portunity to become a helpmeet to
her husband.
Quarrels Were Natural
1.-The wife liked excitement, social
affairs and good time, and no
blame is attached to her for that,
because at her age such things are
expected.
The husband was settled in his
habits and was less inclined to ex-
element or active social affairs.
Under these conditions it was
to be expected that the husbands
refusal to partake to the fullest eX-
tent in the Wife's pleasures would
cause quarrels between them"

''HEAW WATER"
IN NATURE FOUND
Bureau of Standards Discov'
cry Is Regarded of Special
Significance.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,

The discovery Of heavy water" in
nature was announced today by the
Bureau of Standards.
Hitherto it has been considered an
entirely artificial product, discovered in
the Bureau of Standards laboratories
and produced by long and complicated
process. 1t is pure water, but of a
slightly different atomic composition
than ordinary water. 1t has the same
chemical formula.
Some of the laboratory procedure in
the making of heavy water led the bu-
reau chemists to believe the water in
a stagnant sea, which had undergone
for centuries the process of evaporation
and re-evaporation, might have proper
ties of the liquid produced in the ply
Slcal laboratory. SO samples of the
water of the Dead Sea and of the Great
Salt Lake were brought to Washington
and tested, free of all impurities.
1t turns out, according to the report
of the bureau chemists, that the Dead
Sea pure water has specific gravity a
little over two parts in a million heavier
than the freely circulating meteoric
water which is all that has been known

STATE MATERIALS
FREE TESTS END
Bureau of Standards Lacks
Funds to Continue
Custom.

Testing of materials for States, which
formerly was done free at the Bureau
of Standards, now has been almost en-
tirely discontinued, DR.. Lyman j.
Briggs, director of the bureau, said
today
Under the organic act under which
the Standards Bureau functions, it is
provided that the establishment may
perform for the States the same serv-
ices it undertakes for the Federal Gov
ernment. With the decreased appro-
priations, DR.. Briggs said, it has been
necessary to advise State purchasing
officers to send their material to some
commercial testing laboratory.
Although never a major part OF the
bureaus activities. the testing work for
States has involved a considerable
burden on some of tie laboratories,
especially those testing paper and
textile materials. With the necessary
furloughs, they no longer have staffs
sufficient to do the work and 1t now
involves a direct burden on the State
! taxpayers
| At no time. Dr. Briggs said, has the
bureau considered itself in competition
with commercial laboratories, bat has
Striven to cooperate with them where
possible. 1t has performed those tests
for which it was especially equipped.
The testing work for the Federal Gov
ernment continues as before. Specifi-
cations are fixed and the commercial
material referred to the bureau labora-
tories to determine if it meets the
specifications.
Thus far, DR.. Briggs said it has been
possible to do very little toward recall
ing any of the personnel furloughed
early in June. few have ben re-
called to aid in the 100000 renoviZing
campaign now in process in the bureau
buildings. This involves replacing much
of the electric wiring and much of the
very elaborate piping system. The pipes
have been in place for the past 20 years
and many have become badly corroded.

hitherto while that from the Great
Salt Lake is almost three parts in a
million heavier.
This is the first instance where the
variation in the so-called "isotopic
composition has been found outside
of the radioactive elements and their
end products There are, for example,
five or six kinds of lead depending upon
the radioactive elements of whose de-
composition they are the end products.
But there is no disintegration process
at work in the production Of water
The discovery Of this new kind Of
water in nature, it is explained, is of
fundamental significance because of the
key position held by water in the
phenomena of life. Life as it exists on
earth is possible only because of water,
which constitutes a major part of the

bodies Of all living things. Apparently,
also, life depends on water with the pre-
else physical makeup of ordinary water,
and if it had happened to be different,
in the minutest degree, the organic
world as it exists today would have
been impossible.
Experiments just reported from the
Bureau of Standards indicate that the
new kind of water is poisonous to life
1t was tested with minute plants. That
it actually exists in nature adds new
significance to these experiments.

Waterbury Should Act

We call to the attention of our city offi- cials, particularly the board of aldermen, the necessity of enforcing the public health statutes with regard to the sale of all liquors in Waterbury. New York city has just found it necessary to enact law to compel the proper labelling of whiskey and the many limitations now being sold. pr. Shirley Wynne, New York's retiring Health Commissioner, can take full credit for this new statute. It was he who brought it forcibly to the attention of the public that they weren't buying what they thought they were.
 We are not accusing the legitimate dealers of Waterbury of palming spurious liquors off on the residents. We think close examination by our health depart ment would reveal all of the duly licensed package stores complying with all re- Quirements. However, in view of the fact that, if the proposed Tugwell bill ever passes Congress next spring all drugs, cosmetics, and prepared foods must be marked conspicuously with list of lngre- dients, it is only fair that liquors also come within this scope. Nobody would say this is discrimination.
 When the supply can meet the demand we presume that liquor sales in the United States will be conducted on normal basis. Right now they certainly aren't. Prices are much higher than they were in the last year of legalized sales before prohibition. That can only be blamed on the fact that our present supplies are in- adequate to meet the demand. In an effort to keep up with it various blends of whls- key are being marketed. Some of them are very excellent, inasmuch as in the old days blends were often preferred to the heavy full-strength whiskies. But there are others which are only rank limitations.
 It is to the welfare of the dealer as well as the consumer that the spurious be thrown out and the legitimate retained. Rather than send the customer hurrylng post-haste to his favorite bootlegger we are in favor of regulating whiskey sales in such a manner that the consumer will He st sfied with what he buys and the dealer with the price secured. The city is apt 10 need some protection along these lines before many weeks have passed. We believe in acting promptly. Other Con- necticut towns are considering plans to check up on the quality of liquor sold without waiting for the control board to speak. Let's not wait for complaints.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-21
They're Still Hopeful

New Haven officials are still hopeful of securing some definite promise from Yale University to underwrite or pay off part of the immense annual expense ac- count. The city still stays awake nights looking over the list of tax-exempt prop erty that the university possesses. It doesn't lose sight of the fact, of course, that the university is heavy taxpayer. It contributed last year; for examplej $140,000 and has always been willing to pay this amount at almost any moment that the city may demand it. Such will ingness can't be overlooked.
 Still $140,000 tax bill isn't so large when you take into consideration the fact that Yale property valued at $6O,OOO,O0O cannot be taxed under our state laws. There rarely is any objection to this statute granting immunity to church and educational property, but New Haven has seen more and more central property, formerly on it's tax lists, removed in the university expansion program. This IS what hurts. The city probably figured that some day almost all central New Haven may consist of taX-eXempt property.
 Fort this reason the officials think that the university in addition to paying it's taxes promptly and in one sum, if neces- sary, might also contribute to the support X of the city's fire and police departments. This would be an unprecedented action were it not for the fact that Harvard University is negotiating a similar ar- rangement with the Cambridge authori- ties. We presume that Cambridge has probably watched it's grand list decline as the university expanded, too. There is no doubt that huge universities call for ad- ditional police and fire protection, but strictly speaking they pay for it, although perhaps not in the same ratio as the small home owner.
 We never could quite decide whether we should side with the New Haven au- thorities in this moot question. It can be argued both ways. The city has lost and will continue to lose taxable property. But it enjoys the presence in it's midst of an internationally known university which attracts thousands of students and more thousands of visitors. It creates an aes- fhetic center that no other city project could replace. It makes more business for the merchants. Transfer the schools to another city and New Haven certainly would be the poorer all around. Yet in khe face of all these claims the much harassed officials still point to their ina bility to stomach $60,000,000 in tax ex- emptions to the one corporation.

HISTORY

Although traces of silver and gold have been noted in the local soil no actual rich deposits of the metals have ever been found here. Traces of graphite have been noted in the mica slate deposit, and there have been evidences of copper; but in no instance has metal peen prevalent enough in the soil to be mined.
 As to the original forests here Anderson says they have been cut down, The present growth is evil dently rather recent. Certain spe- cies of. pine and oak that were here more than fifty years ago have disappeared. although oaks are still among the city's natural possessions as our elms. The most common at one time was the chest nut tree (Castanea) and was con- spicuous when Waterbury's history was written by Dr Anderson, but the chestnut, as all know, has since disappeared, unfortunately to relate. There is a paueity of in- formation concerning the species of trees that were here during Water- bury's early history, which is re- gretful, because on account of the prevalence of woodland on all sides of the settlement there must have been material for quite g. forest description. The American elm (ulmus Americana) thrived un- usually we'll in the Naugatuck val- ley and was then as it is now one of Waterbury's as well as Connec- ticut's and New England's most outstanding native trees.

Washington, Dec. 21-Senator Bob Wagner is worried.
 Three difficult problems, upon the determination of which hang important legislative and admin istrative developments, bear heavily on the mind of the hard working, liberal New Yorker. They are:
 1. Whether he should step out as chairman of the national labor board in order to devote all his time to major social measures at the next session or congress, or try to continue both as a senator and labor chairman.
 2. Labor dissatisfaction over what 1t considers to be undue delay by Wagner in settling labor disputes.
 8. Strained relations be- tween Wagner and General Hugh Johnson.
 The last two situations may have an important bearing on Wagner's decision on the first. WHY THE GOODNESS
 The coolness between Johnson and Wagner arises out or the latter's quiet, but firm, insistence that others keep strict hands-off the affairs of the labor board. The board is an outgrowth of the MIRA. But Wagner and his colleagues were appointed by
