TWO MILLIONS
FORPOT0MAC

The new omnibus rivers and
harbors bill carries $1,975, 900 for
the District.
OF this amount $1,650,00 is to
be used in improving the north
side of Washington Channel. This
sum includes items for identifying
the river front and for construc-
ton of wharves and other con-
veniences to take care Of the
mounting commercial and pleas
ure navigation in this part Of the
Potomac.
The District won a signal vic
tory in this instance, as the Sen.
ate not only raised the sum over
the amount carried in the House
bill but provided that the Federal
Government should pay the en-
tire cost.
It was shown in the Army
engineers report that the Dis
trict government actually used q
small portion of the wharfage for
District boats and the Senate de.
cided that, as it was Federal
property, the National Govern.
ment should pay for the improve
mentS.

LONDON, June 2S IN.SO.
Suddenly realizing an unpractised
novice in a duel faces the pros
pect of q puncture in a spot that
hurts. Jean Borotra launched an
intensive training campaign today
for his scheduled affair Of honor.
The famous Bounding Basque
of the tennis courts, challenged
by Didier Poulain, French sports
writer during o newspaper debate
over craftsmanship, first went to
a well-known sporting club in Pail
Mall and began q course in fenc-
ing lessons with an English ex'
pert.
This he did under an assumed
name, but less Secretively he
asked his friends 70 make ar
rangements enabling him to have
pistol practice before he returns
to Paris.
AS recipient of the challenge,
Borotra would ordinarily be en-
titled to choose the weapons, but
if the seconds decide Poulain was
wronged, he may have the right
of selection.
It is generally expected Poulain,
who is an acknowledged fencing
expert, will wish to use swords,
but Borotra is unwilling to over
look the possibility Of pistols.
The tennis star, in any case,
has nothing to worry about re-
xarding physical fitness.

lack of Heavy Rains Lowers Reservoirs
State To Purchase
 12,OOO Land Acres
Government Alocates Sl5O,OOO for Acquisition in
 Eastern Connecticut to Be Improved

New Haven, October 17-With the government approving today acquisition of 120OO acres of land in eastern Connecticut, for which 1t has allocated $150,000 for pur- chase, the Resettlement Admins tration has launched it's conserva- tion program in this state.
 The New London County project, so named because the largest site lies within that county along the Rhode TsIsa41 k Yer, involves the retirement cf Tua. lands from cul- tivation and their conversion into forest and recreation areas.
 In making this announcement, A w. Manchester, regional director of land utilization, indicated that the development of this undertaking will provide considerable work for the unemployed living in eastern Connecticut.
 Heavy relief loads in many of the nearby towns in the southeast ern part of the state, will be di- rectly alleviated by the present pro- ject," MT. Manchester said.
 Although the Resettlement Ad- ministration is not primarily re- lief agency, nevertheless its program will furnish considerable employ ment, at the same time that 1t helps to remove some of the basic causes of destination in rural areas" :"
 Reforestation, the development of tree nurseries, fish and game pro- serves, the construction of trials. dams, and camping sites, are in- cluded in the general program of improvement planned for the area. But the detailed plans are still the subject of much study and research, no funds having as yet been grant, ed for the development program which is to follow purchase of sites.
 The New London county project, situated principally in this county, also includes sites in Windham, Holland, Middlesex, and Hartford counties. The choice of thoese lo- cations follows an intensive survey of land resources in Connecticut by both federal and state agencies.
 "As far back as 1926" Manches- ter said, "the State of Connecticut, in, an effort to cope with this situa- ton, set aside some 11,00O acres of land in the region, on which the state forests are being developed. The New London county project, planned by the Land Utilization Division, is right in line with rec ommendation made by the State Agricultural Experiment station, the State Planning board, and other Connecticut authorities on land use.
 Approval Given
 "Following development, the lands purchased will eventually be turned over to the State of Connecticut. under the State Forest and Park Commission, to be added to the ad- joining state forest lands. The state conservation authorities have ex- pressed their approval of this plan"
 All land being acquired for the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-17

New London project has been vol- untarily offered for sale by the owners, no families being required to sell their homes or properties. This is in strict accord with the policies of the Resettlement Admin istration.
 The administration is now work ing on plans to aid these families who request or need further assist ance in finding satisfactory homes elsewhere after having sold their present farms to the government.
 According to Manchester, the struggle to eke out a living on these poor lands does not date from yes- terday. "The total unsuitability of this land for profitable agriculture was recognized as early as 1700," he said. Tn that year commission of the general court of the Colony of Connecticut recommended against settlement of the lands in which most of the present purchase area lies. Some of the names which our early colonists attached to this land are eloquent: Bare Hill, Mount Misery, Stone Hill, Hell Hollow.
 Farms have rarely been success full in this region" Manchester con- tinued, particularly since 1870 when New England farming as a whole suffered the results of com- petition offered by the opening up of the more fertile lands in the West with the development of rap i'd transportation" However" he added, "the area lends itself well to forestation, and the presence of numerous small lakes and rolling hills after excellent opportunities for developing large out-door rec reation facilities"
 In referring to unemployment conditions in the vicinity of the New London project, Manchester said that heavy relief loads in many of the nearby towns will be directly alleviated by the project. Continued depression in the textile industry of this part of the state over a period of several years has thrown great numbers out of em- plOyment.

Red Cross Institute
 Starts Here Monday
Two Others Planned Throughout State for Instructors
 of Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick

Miss Elizabeth Taylor, nursing field representative; and Miss Grace Cloc;., general field representative. They will review the entire sub- :. of home hygiene and work out practical teaching problems through group discussions and individual conferences with students.
 Mrs. Heilman, who received the Florence Nightingale medal last year, is well-versed in all branches of the nursing profession. A grad uate of John Hopkins hospital, Bal timore, she served with distinction in civilian and military hospitals in Italy during the World war, and as director of public health nursing in Santo Domingo following the war She is well qualified to teach home hygiene.
 As taught by the Red Cross, home hygiene is not designed to train practical nurses, but rather to-]de- velop better hygiene practices in the home by teaching parents and chil- dren alike the rudiments of good health and good living. Instruction in caring for and preventing ill- ness, under the direction of the family physician, is stressed also.
 The increasing demand for home hygiene instruction in Connecticut is evidenced by the fact that during the past year BPS persons completed the Red Cross course, almost doubl- ing the number of certificates issued in 1884. During the past fiscal year total of 52,196 home hygiene certificates were issued all over the United States. This represents a gain of per cent over 1894.

City's Daily Water Consumption Nearly
 Half Million Total
Both Waterbury Storage Sites Down Several Feet; Supply Condition in Excellent Shape and Rates
 Equally With States Best

rainfall was in the early part of September. So far this month there has been little or no precipitation, the water department records show.
 The Morris reservoir, which serves as a storage plant for the Wigwam reservoir, is now down to six feet below the spillway. The Wigwam, however, is kept filled right up to the top by draining from the Mor- ris.
 The Prospect reservoir. which serves as a storage system for the East Mountain reservoir, is down four and one-half feet below the spillway. At the same time the East Mountain is kept filled by being fed from the Prospect storage basin.
 Upturn Responsible.
 Consumption of water during September was greater than it was during September of 1884, however, water department billings disclose. This is believed to be due largely to the growing business activities in the city.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-17

Waterbury's daily water consump- ton is eight and one-half million gallons, a figure somewhat lower than the peak hit during the sum- mer months when the figure, daily, was nearer the 10.000,000 gallon mark. Both of Waterbury's storage reservoirs are down several feet at the present time, due to the lack of heavy rain during the past five or six weeks. However, the water supply condition in the 'citiy at the present time is in excellent shape.
 Other Towns Affected.
 Information to this effect was obtained today from the office of the municipal water department. Waterbury's present water supply is about the best in the state. Other cities and towns and private water concerns are also feeling drop in storage supplies due to the lack of heavy rainfall.
 During September only .33 of an inch of rain fell. The last heavy
