100 feet is dangerous. Wells and springs should lee constructed with tight sides and covers and buckets or other utensils should not be dipped into them.
 Sewage disposal is an obstacle that has wrecked many plans for country homes, since construction of toilets. location of septic tanks. etc. involve problems sometimes not easily solved and since the health not only the owners. but of the entire neighborhood must be protected. The State Department of Health has prepared pamphlets on the subjects of Private Water Supplies and Sewage Disposal" which are available upon request and which will aid those not reach- ed by the public service systems in solving these problems.

ACCOUNTING OF SCHOLARSHIP
 FUNDS ASKED

Ansonia, Conn, April 12. (UP)- An accounting of e the $llTOoo scholarship funds Established by the late Charles r. Brooker of this city for Dartmouth college and Le- land Stanford university must be made to probate court before the institutions can receive a share or S1OO.O0O which recently reverted to the estate, Probate Judge James T. Mckay has ruled.
 The $1O0,O00 represented the estate of James T. Travis. nephew of Brooker, who received a substantial part of the estate.
 The scholarships were establish ed at each of the colleges for Con- necticut students. Judge Mckay in ordering the accounting late yes terday, said representations had been made to the court that at Dartmouth the Brooker fund had been merged with the general scholarship fund and that in sev- eral instances the provisions of the will that preference be given Ansonia and Torrington High school students had been ignored.
 Brooker, a former official of the American Brass company, died about 10 years ago, leaving an estate of approximately $1.000,000.
 Both institutions will receive about $10.0o0 from the Travis estate.

NEW YORK. June 2.--Continued in
dustrial expansion was reported by the
Dun & Bradstreet weekly review today.
-"The forward swing" it said, rests
on the definite upward trend in con-
sumption, employment and wage levels,
the importance of which Is not, fully
realized as yet, as the transition has
been such a sudden one, and con-
structive developments have been so
rapid. The course for trade progress
has been cleared as more of the ex-
traneous influences which retarded the
pace for a time have been rendered i'm
potent by the well fortified ramiflca-
tons to which the improvement has
been extended.
"A further stimulus to the upward
movement is being provided by the
general support being given the admin
istration's sweeping industrial recovery
measures, which open the way for con-
duct Of business on a reasonable earn
ing basis, and the growing appreciation
of the Importance Of credit and sound
credit practices In commerce and in
dustry.
Besides, the constant widening of
employment, the rises in wage scales
announced from week to week and the
gain of nearly 20 per cent IN the prices
Of farm products in the last two
months have opened a new source of
spending power which was not discern
ible even family six months ago"
Both retail and wholesale buying
continue to improve, the review said
Some large department stores report
volume fully 10 per cent ahead Of the
1882 level, with further gains IN pros

BUGS CONFUSED
 BY LEGISLATURE
Fine Legal Question May Arise Over Law PrOhi.
 biting Sale of Insects

Colorado Springs, Col (UP)--A fne legal question may arise over n law passed by the last regular session of the Colorado General Assembly prohibiting the sale of a certain little bug used in trout fishing.
 The legislators thought they were prohibiting the sale of hel- gramites, insects threatened with extinction, but ns matter of sci- entinc fact, according to Professor Ralph !. Gilmore, of the depart- ment of biology of Colorado col- lege, their statute banned the safe of stone-rollers.
 "Corydalis cornuta." the sclon- tlfic terra written into the statute, is not known in Colorado and it Is the true helgramite. says Professor Gilmore. What the lawmakers should have protected, had they been up on their zoology, Is "Pter- narcys Californica."
 Here's tho way q professor of biology states the legal issue;
 "Thcrc Is no doubt that a worthy effort was made on the part of the state legislature. As 10 the question of whether the parenthet- teal description vitiates the law, that is a matter for judicial de- cision."
 Corydnlls cornuta was in paren. theses after tho word "helgram- ltes" in tho statute.

NAZLS ASSAIL FOREIGN LEGION
Criticism By Germany Re- ceived at French War
 Ministry

Paris, (UP)-As the Foreign Le- zion Increasingly becomes a tar get for socialists and Communists due to mounting casualties in Morocco and to the forccful occu- patton of Berber territory, that picturesque military unit now also incitcs attacks from Nationalist Germany, m unexpected quarter.
 Recent criticism of the Legion by Germany, notably from ex- treme Nazis, were first received at tho French War Ministry with ironic comment, In part because of the fact that Germans them selves compose more than 65 per cent of the personnel, and because of the irrefutablo fact that enlist ments in this foreign-servlce regi- ment are not compulsory.
 Now that apparently responsi- ble Nazi leaders, however. are urging that all German nationals in the Legion be automatically de- prived of citizenship, 0 situation is recognized here that may threaten new complications be- tween France and Germany, at q highly inopportune time. Such q German decree would be con- strued by France as a distinctly unfriendly act. and by friends and supporters of the Legion as a de- signed insult 10 France.
 This threatened action of the Nazi government is regarded as absurd in certain French military quarters, where 1t is pointed out that the Legion ranks are com posed, in the main, of men who want no national ties. and who have indeed disavowed their citi- zenship for reasons best known to themselves.
