CHICAGO, September 22.-More
than 10000 men and women in the
United States mentally or morally
unfit to become parents have been
sterilized. it was reported today in an
analysis made public by the Chicago
headquarters of the American Legis-
lators' Association.
That sterilization laws have been
invoked conservatively, however, is in
dicated by the fact that the Nation
is burdened with 100000 permanent
"unemployables," of whom 381 900 are
mentally diseased.
These figures are sufficiently sifini-
ficant to justify consideration OF the
view point of those who advocate
sterilization as a measls of lettering
the stock of the country" declared
State Government, official organ OF
the legislators association.
Twenty-Five States have steriliza-
ton laws, the report disclosed. Indiana
pioneered in 1907 by legalizing opera
tions on any inmates of institutions
insane, idiotic, imbecile, feeble minded
or epileptic, who by the laws OF
heredity are potential parents of
socially inadequate offspring" Thirty
other States followed suit, the last.

1881, but In six States the laws were
invalidated by the courts.
All Of the Is existing laws provide
for sterilization in certain instances
involving feeble minded, insane and
epileptic subjects. Ten States also
authorized such operations upon
habitual sex criminals, and a few ex-
tended the provision to habitual crimi-
mails of other types.
Five States provide for sterilization
OF diseases or defective persons,
whether in an institution or not, II
their guardians consent.
Supreme Court Upholds.
Prior to 1927. several State sterili-
zation laws were held unconstitutional,
but in that year the United States
Supreme Court sustained the Virginia
statute in the famous case of Buck VS..
Bell. Three generations Of imbeciles
are enough" said Justice Holmes.
More than half Of the 10000 opera
tions performed in State institutions
have been in California, which had
8,504.
States which now have sterilization
statutes are Alabama, Arizona, Cali

were told that no water had pass ed through its pipes during the past five years and that if we had a desire for water we would have to go to the nearest available source at Chase Park house. This we found was nearly a ten minute walk uphill and we were all tired out and decided to continue our outing at the playground. It was anything but quiet and as far as we concerned our little picnic was total failure. This am given to understand has happened to oth- CTS, and 1t seems quite unfortunate that such a situation should be evident in al city like Waterbury, where thousands of dollars are spent on roads and parks in other sections, but nothing can be done about furnishing drinking water for folks who would enjoy a day outdoors.

back, was Father Louis Hennepin, later to become the first authentic chronicler of Niagara history. As base for building vessel on the Niagar above the Falls, La Sale erected late in that year the first structure on the present site of Old For Niagara.
 How long that triangular point of land lying between the Niagara river and Lake Ontario had been used for human habitation is not known. Apparently series of In- dian villages had preceded the fortification which young La Salle built 'here and which he dutifully named for the Prince of Cont. Of Fort Contin La Sale afterward re- ported:
 q contented myself with mak- ing there two redoubts, 40 feet square, made of great ltimbers one upon another. musket proof and joined by palisade, where I put a sergeant and several men, who, during my absence, allowed all this | work to burn through negligence" La Sale saw clearly the impor- tance of a protected post at the | mouth of tho Niagara which would control for the French all com
 merce passing through the Great
 Lakes, and he easily persuaded to
 the same view. the Marquis Demon vile, governor of New France. In | 1887 the governor personally led
 large party to the same site and
 erected a second fortiication to
 which he proudly attached his own | name.
 Even before Fort Denonville was
 completed, the Marquis sailed back
 to New France, leaving the fortress garrisoned by 100 men. New pro- visions he sent the garrison proved
 unusable. winter came, food and fuel ran short, disease and starva.

 Only 12 of the original 100 were alive when help reached them on Good Friday. the following spring, 1888. Among the rescuers was Father Jean Millet. who ordered an 1S-foot cross erected in memory of the dead and in thanksgiving for the deliverance of those who were spared. Across it's wide cross-arm was ,lettered the following abbre- viation: "RSg. Vine. Imp. Chrs."- Regnat Cincit Imperat Christus. And that cross, imperishably re- produced during the recent restora- tion of the Old Fort, still stands as an immortal symbol of the Church's part in the establishment and development of Old Fort Niagara.
 In his second article, Dr Fox re- lates the permanent establishment of Old Fort Niagara by the French and their preparation to resist a long g-anticipated British attack.

 Last night had the pleasure of reading an article that stated that a water bubbler had been in- stalled at Waterville Park. Let's give thought to our own section. There is the remnants of Q one popular park at the western side of the section, but since Chase Boulevard has been cut through the center the land is divided. l have never seen anything that re- sembled either bench or water, bubbler near the site best selected for a picnic.
 My wife and two children re- gently decided to go Chlse Park and prepare a lunch. Upon our arrival did notice bubbler. but found 1t not in working order. We
