States Water Supply
 Reported Excellent
Survey Taken Following Continued DrOuth-RainfaII
 Registered Above Normal for First Six Months

Icompensated for Q deficiency in rain as compared with the normal of about two inches in May. The storm of June l2-13-l4-15 contributed an official recording of 0.06 Inches, and was followed three days later by an- other storm which added three inches more. With this abundance of rain, water supply reservoirs at this season when their levels are usually beginning to drop, are filled, but what is more important is that ground water is still high and that therefore well filled streams are continuing to replenish the supply in the storage basins.
 Storage Facilities
 The storage facilities of the Con- necticut public water systems were built to take advantage of just such munificence on the part of nature, 50 that an abundant supply of water might be saved for use in times when nature is not 50 generous. The asmuch as most of Connecticut's 's population is dependant upon sur- AdCS WhOcG Duppbco, NAC kCbeSVOubl all costly engineering projects, are of great importance both in pre- serving an adequate supply and in maintaining pure supply. Water impounded in reservoirs can be con- trolled with respect to avoidance and elimination of pollution, and with respect to Altering and chemi- cal treatment. But the storage fa- cilities must be sufficiently large to furnish water even during long period of dryness, since every de- pleted public water supply presents a serious calamity to a community both as @ hardship and as health hazard. Surface public supplies which would easily be depleted dur ing a dry spell are few and far be- tween in Connecticut, and where they exist the state insists that there be connections with the fully adequate supplies of the larger water utilities.

The situation here with respect to water abundance thus stands in marked contrast to tilat of the western states which have been undergoing one of their most severe droughts.

 During the first six months of le56, the precipitation in Connecti- cut, as recorded at the United States Weather Bureau at New Haven, measured 36.04 inches--13.4o inches above the normal for these months. How exceptional this total was can De seen in the fact that in the er1- tire year of 1035 Connecticut's rain- fall totaled only 36.72 inches, while the highest total of rainfall recorded in the last dozen years for the whole year was 50.92 inches in 1884.

 Lewis Had Helped

Camden, N. J., July %. - (UP)-- The 4,5O0 striking employees of the Camden plant of the Radio Cor- poration of America return to their jobs today. The month old strike, marked by numerous riots and hum dreds of arrests, was terminated when the strikers voted at Q mass meeting late yesterday to return to work. The strikers, members of the United Electrical and Radio Workers of America, accepted an agreement offered by the company, formulated yesterday with General Hugh Johnson, labor adviser of RCA, and John L. Lewis, chairman of the committee for industrial or- ganization, among the conferees.
 The agreement presented Q five point program in which the com pany agreed to recognize the union as the bargaining authority for it's
 members but not for other RIGA employees, and agreed to pay wages as high as are paid in any radio factory in the Camden-P Philadelphia zone. Workers added to the pay- roll since the walkout started will be discharged and the company agreed to reinstate strikers without dis- elimination. RCA also agreed to hire no new employees between now and March 31, 1897, unless and un- til all strikers who wish to bbe re- employed have returned to work. The company agreed to permit the National Labor Relations Board to poll its employees to decide what union they wish to represent them. The consent election will be conduct ed next Tuesday.
 While acceptance of the agree ment was being debated, 97 per. sons arrested in the strike riot last Thursday were given hearings bee fore common pleas judge, Frank r. Neutze.

CHAPTER VI

John Courtney looked at Helena in astonishment. "But that isn't the way Peter wanted 1t, apparently" he said.
 Isn't there anyone else7"
 Courtney studied his hands a moment before replying. There's Peters uncle, Roger Barnes. He has been managing the store. You see, Peter has been sway a good deal"
 "Then why shouldn't Barnes have it?"
 "Because Peter has provided that you shall have t." Courtney told her patiently. T want to be honest with you, Mrs. Henderson. We may have trouble with Roger Barnes. It's almost certain that i he will feel the store should have come to him. I expect him to contest the will"
 Helenas shoulders sagged wear fly. I'm sure I shan't fight it." She raised her eyes to Courtney. "TelI me about about Leah Fra zier, Peter inferred that she was your friend, but I-1 know difer- ently."
 Courtney started to speak, then stopped. Finally he asked, DO you really feel like talking now?"
 Please go ahead" Helena told him. live got to get things straight now"
 wei I'm afraid you don't know very much about Peter Henderson. I = please understand mel don't see how you could in the short time that :" His voice trailed fl, and he began again with difficulty. "Of course | understand how these things happen. I believe you were Sin- cere. Peter told me that you knew nothing of his financial standing when you agreed to marry him."
 "That's true," Helena burst out. T--I loved him."
 Courtney nodded. "Fle pose sessed Q good deal of charm. Women lost their heads about him -threw themselves at him. AS well, as his attorney, I hap. pGLl VO kHOW &A bAlAos kAAN ESISA liked to play. He was rarely in town to give attention to the busi- ness.. He liked to be everywhere and the result was that lots of people knew him. And," Court ney paused, nobody knew him we'll"
 "You haven't told me about - about Miss Frazier"
 Courtney cleared his throat. I'm coming to that. You see, Leah Fra zier beings to one of the towns oldest families. She and Peter had known each other since they were children. Then Leah went east to school, finally to Europe. Peter went his own way--to military prep school in the south, and then to Stanford. But when they returned, and were in town together, Peter called on Leah often. They were to- gether at our local affairs. People began to take 1t for granted that. whenever Peter got ready to settle down, he would marry Leah Fra zier."
 T see," said Helena duly.
 Peter knew the town. He knew what they would say when they heard that he'd married. someone else. I suppose he felt sorry for her, ] knowing what she would face

Worcester, Mass, July 22-(UP)--. Samuel Bluestein, 60, of 676 West End avenue, New York today was given @ six-month jail term on a charge of illegal medical practice and larceny growing out of his al- legged activities as 6 fake eye spe- cialist. 4 son, Arthur, 3i, was acc quilted by District Judge Frank L. Riley. The father, who appealed, was fined $200 on Q similar charge at Orange last week.

During the conversation, the elder Bluestein would remark that the mans eyes needed treatment police said, and would apply e fake remedy. Bluestein was sentenced on complaint brought by Charles H, Trowbridge, 8l, of Oakham who charged he had paid $20 for a treatment
 Similar charges are pending against the Bluesteins at Lunenberg West Brookfleld and Holden.

Then I'll decide about the = the other"
 Courtney left the room briskly, and Q few moments later Helena sought Sandra. Briefly, through Q fresh flood of tears, she told ean- dra Leigh what Peter had done. But I can't 60 through with 1t, don't you see? 1-- I don't belong in Peters life or in his town or in his business. I- I haven't the right"
 The Leigh girl set squarely in front of her, lifted Helena's chin until their eyes met. Look here, child. I'm glad you came to me with this. - I rather feel I got you into it, and want the chance to zee you through 1t. Answer Q question for me. Who has c bet- ter right to 1t than you2"
 Peters uncle. Perhaps this this Leah Frazier"
 "Nonsensel I don't know Peters uncle, but there must have been some good reason why he was left out altogether. As for Leah Fra- zier, feel, sorry for her if you want. But I'll tell you this, you'd better feel sorrier for yourself. She has that town by the tail, and she'll swing 1t against you every chance she gets. think l, know women, Helena. She's the kind that doesn't fall for Q man, toss over everything for him. She had herself set for Peter, and she was going to get him. It never mat tered whether she loved him, or whether he loved her."
 "But T."
 Let me finish, Helena. You thought you were in love with Pete. think you were, but whether it was love or just an inc fatuation that swept you of your feet doesn't matter now. You were willing to take the chance, and you took 1t. You couldn't know this was going to happen. And don't think you're being handed something free. Life doesn't work out that way. If you make . 90 of 1t in Peters home town with what he left you, then you'll fight like hell for 1t and win 1t on your own"
 There was a knock at the door, and ct Sandra'S invitation 1t opened and revealed Q tall, cool blond.
 ''Miss Frazier :" Sandra said clearly, "this is Mrs. Henderson"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-22

That's why he sent for her with me. I-I really don't think he was ifl love with her, Mrs. Henderson. Peter was an iEnpetuous sort, and if he had been in love with her I'm sure he would have married her long ago."
 "But he-he must have planned to marry her some tiEne." "No doubt. Az Q duty" Court ney simeld. "Then you came along" Helena's fists clenched until the knuckles showed white. "0od knows ! wish - I hadn't" She looked ct Courtney helplessly What can I do? How can I get out of this?"
 The attorney shrugged. Y would mt be doing my duty to Peter if ] suggested that to you--yet. How dc you know you want to get out of it1 The best thing for you to do is return home with me. The store is yours You must do something with it. You can sell it to someone else, or give 1t to them, or you must operate it.
 What do you suggest?" Helena demanded evenly. You're his his widows attorney now, and you have Q duty to me, too"
 "Well My jdea is that you should take over the store. Then if you find 1t - ah--inconvenient under the circumstances, you sell 1t for 6 comfortable sum. Possibly to Roger Barnes"
 T know what you mean by fine convenient" said Helena slowly. They'll all hate me-"
 Courtney looked grim. They'll re- gard you as an interioper for c time, possibly. I wouldn't mislead you there. And Roger Barnes may be an active enemy"
 And Leah Frazier?"
 Courtney shook his head. T can't answer that"
 But Helena could answer 1t. Her sure, woman's instinct told her that Leah Frazier would be a far more active enemy than Roger Barnes, whatever the latter might be like.
 The attorney looked at his watch. "The caretaker has offered to take us to the station to catch the afternoon train. I'll see to all the arrangements, and the services, of course, will be over there. You'll come with us2"
 Helena nodded. "Of course I'll want to --- to be at the funeral.

T vas won- deripg about the plane schedule to the s...y. Tim rather upset and I don't think I'll return home for q few days"
 While Leah stood there facing sandra:s Helena examined her. She was indeed beautiful. Her fea-- lures, her figure were perfect, ale most as though she had been done ir marble by some Sculptor-but sculptor who had "omehcw been
 unable to breathe softness into his work. Her poise was Q mosaic, nicely fitted together, Q pattern from smart schools, from Cannes, from Paris, from Florida and Palm | Springs. For c moment Helena felt strangely afraid. This, then, was the woman who would have been Peter Henderson's wife. "Sandra was right" Helena thought. "she didn't love Peter. She couldn't love anyone. she-slle's not even going to his funeral"
 A troublesome voice somewhere in her brain kept asking, Did you love Peter? How do you know? How do you know it wasn't the new environment, the gaiety of Sandra's crowd -- Peter making love to you in the moonlight how do you know 1t wasn't that?" Tn Q sudden fash of Self-revela- ton she saw that what she was feeling for Peters death was not 50 much grief as shock. Grief was something that welled up out of the years, out of an association between two people through happiness and sorrow, through success and defeat. But her brain was too weary to follow things out. Her life seemed to have been taken into other hands. John Courtney seemed to symbolize e fate: that was steer ing her along in the rut of the law.
 Before she could be certain of anything ct oil, she was on the train with him, bound for Peters town the owner of the Heri- derson Department Store and the big Henderson home she had never
