Preservation of the boiling spring on lower Highland avenue has been 8 topic much discussed among older residents of Brooklyn and Town Plot districts with conversational in- terest gaining momentum daily.
 The spring in question has played an important part in the early his- tory of the city, for according to legend, Indians first inhabited that area and were aided invaluably by the waters from the outlet which during past years have become neg lected. The direct location is by the roadside only several hundred feet from the old Danbury line railroad crossing.
 Since the spring has been con- nected with Indian legend and men, tined in The Early History of Wa terbury," it is believed the city should take preservation action and build . well of limestone interior and glass covering where the flow of water could be witnessed. The expenditure would not amount to more than $50, and the spring would always be in use.
 With nearly 200 per cent increase in the traffc rate on this route the past year, the situation of the spring so near the road has been unhealth- full and the suggested covering would also be a means of dust pre- vention. The roadway is considered short route to Naugatuck and with the completion of a direct thorough fare from South Leonard street, work for which is in progress, traffic should be equal to that on the main highway. A chartered bus route has also been considered and the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting com- pany now operates several trips daily.

Coral, you look so beautiful" said David, then, Gosh, I'd forgotten. We'll have to go down the receiving line"
 AS they passed along the file of men and women, arm in arm, speak ing to each in turn, a little chill entered Coral's mind. Had Donna been right? Was it her imagination, or were some of these people not quite cordial to her? Did they dis approve her presence there? For feeting instant she wished she had not come, then the kindly greeting of Professor Maxwell, David's supe- rior in the chemistry department, put her at her ease again.
 Professor Maxwell is 8 grand person, isn't he?" Coral said as they began to dance.
 "He is that" said David, then his voice lowered and he spoke into her ear. T started to tell you how beautiful you look, but our social ob- legations interfered. Now there aren't any words. That's the love- Hest dress, you're the loveliest girl, here or. any place."
 CoraPs heart beat gladly. Her dress was pretty. Deep violet blue tulle, the color of her eyes, studded with sequin stars. You'll turn my head. Besides, it's only the dress"
 Its more than that, Coral. It's you" The gray eyes looked into hers. A little flame burned in them and was reflected back. "Oh, Coral, hadn't meant to say this for long time, but I can't help myself. I love you, darling. Coral, do you love me?"
 SUDDENLY the music faded and O they were inexplicably alone on the floor. After a long time, Coral spoke. T love you, too, David"
 He caught her closer to him, then laughed exultantly. Sweetheart, say it again. I can't believe it."
 T love you, Professor Armstrong.

CHAPTER II

A s Coral walked across the cam "A pus from the Chemistry building to her sorority house, her mind was full of thoughts of David. She had been married two weeks. Sometimes it seemed a long time; at others, a matter of days. T love him more every day." she thought to herself.
 How splendid he had been when she told him about the boy from Wheatland, her home town :. Hoyt, Marquis, whom her parents had always assumed she would marry, to whom most of the stu dents at Elton thought she was en- gagged. She had related the whole story to David, explaining why she had fallen in with the plans of both the Marquis family and her own, despite the fact that she did not love Hoyt. She had told him of the money her father owed Hoyt Mar quis, ST., who was Wheatland's rich est banker. She had been afraid that David would be resentful, hurt that she had not confided in him before, or jealous of this other man. He had been perfect, though, thor oughly understanding, even laughing a little at her concern.
 Darling" he had chuckled at the end of their talk, my only feeling about Hoyt Marquis is that he is more to be pitied than cenSured.' After all, his loss is my gain :. if you get what I mean" And Cor al had gotten it, of course, and had been well kissed in the bargain. Her heart beat faster at the recollec- tion. How happy how incred- ibly fortunate and lucky she was!
 There was one thing, however, which marred her happiness lit- tie. There was tinge of guilt with in her at the secrecy of their love. Because she was brave and honest and ecstatically in love |. she longed to spread the news of her marriage, to say to those dear to her, her friends and family, "This man is mine and am his . . .. forever" Coral was proud of David and of their love for one another. Some hidden corner of her heart was hurt at this concealment, al- though intellect told her that the only course to follow was the one which they pursued. After all, June was not far away, and they could claim each other before the whole world then. She dug her hands deeper into the pockets of her red suede jacket, and laughed exult- antly. If she was happy now, what ecstasy would be hers later!

 CHE turned up the walk leading to O' the dormitory and waved merrily to pair of girls who were sitting precariouSly on the window sill of their room enjoying the spring sun shine. She envied them a little. for they were friends as she and Marge had been. Try as she might, it was impossible to establish the same happy. carefree relationship with Donna Allen, who thought

right away. Will you come, Coral?"
 It was mad. It was crazy, Coral told herself. But her heart said yes over and over and her lips said it, too.
 HOUR hours later, the roadster II came to stop before the soror- ity house. Corals head was on Da- vid's shoulder, on her finger was his signet ring. She would wear it tonight, then hide it away till June.
 My wife, my sweet wife" said David. Are you sorry, Coral?"
 She turned her lips to his in an- swer. Then T must go in, dear"
 T suppose so,- he sighed. Tt will be wonderful when we can be together always"
 He helped her out of the car and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-10

I do indeed" Corals laugh, soft and happy, joined his.
 David grasped her hand, and ob- livious of the glances which fol- lowed them, they left the ballroom. Wordlessly they found their wraps and entered the roadster. "Now." said David, then huskily, My darl- ing" Their lips met, parted. met again. VI :.
 At last David released her. Coral. darling, let's be married right away
 She answered him dreamily. "Yes,' sweet, of course" Then she remem- bered. David, VIC can't. Not for a long time. Not till I've graduated"
 "Why not?"
 "They don't like our seeing SO much of each other now. They'd never let us marry"
 Why do we have to tell >them2"

walked with her to the door. They kissed again, deeply, warmly. At last they separated. AS David went back to the car, a thought, sharp edged, guilty, struck Coral. The car was starting. She must tell him tonight, before he heard the distort- ed truth from someone else. Hoyt! David must know about him.
 David" she called, forgetful of the sleeping house. q must tell you something. Come back" But ne had not heard. The roadster shot down the street, around a curve. He was gone, atd she had not told him. Perhaps tomorrow. She must tell him then.

1 everything at Elton bore, who
 antagonized everyone who attempted
 to draw her into the inner circle of the sorority. She was a mem- Der, to be sure, having belonged at the chapter established at her finishing school, but she termed the activities of the girls at Elton "babyish," Sneered at their Scho- lastic accomplishments, laughed at their house dances which were sadly
 acking in such essentials as Donna deemed necessary, thousand-dollar bands, champagne punch, and lav- ish decorations. Coral sighed and wondered if there. was anything anyone could do about it, for Don- mas sake as well as for the sake of the sorority. She knew Donna was unhappy. Sometimes l think she acts the way she does just to hide the. way she really feels," Coral thought to herself. She shook her head. Donna was an enigma.
 She let herself into the sorority house and stopped, at the library table in the broad hall. She thumbed through the letters lying upon. it. Yes, there was one for her with a Wheatland postmark. The typewriter address meant that it was from her father. She opened it eargerly, but as she read her expectant look compressed into little frown. They were expecting her home for spring vacation in a week. Many of the other young people would be home and there would be 8 num- Der of parties. Hoyt had called and ased when she was arriving, and had seemed very eager to see her.
 There was the rub. Hoyt. She supposed it was cowardly not to have written him before, but if she told him the truth, that she was married to David, then he'd be sure to tell her parents. If she told him that she was interested make sure there was no definite understanding between them, he would promptly raise the roof, complain to her parents and his, and, perhaps, even insist that his father call in MT. Carndall's loan. She shrugged. There was no help for it. Hoyt would have to be told when everyone else was, and not before. But it was annoying to have to consider him and what he would do. She had never loved him, he did not really love her but. because it was to their par ents' advantage they had been thrown together for so long that the companionship had become habitual.
 Hoyt had certainly been far from the faithful swain, but once he thought he had lost her he would decide he had never wanted anyone or anything else and would whine and scheme like small boy to attain his desire for revenge.

 Coral nodded absently. She had not noticed the quizzical, slightly mocking tone of Donna's voice, or the curious, watchful look on her face, "What have you been doing" she asked.

COSTS UP SHARPLY
AT STEEL PLANTS
Institute Finds Expenses
Have Risen About 225
Millions a Year.
By the Associated PreS..

-
NEW YORK, April 1.-Wall Streets
business analysts, engaged for weeks
in intensive study Of effects o. recent
steel wage and price increases, found
interest today in calculations of the
American Iron and Steel Institute
costs of the industry had been in
creased about 1925 100000 annually
recently.
The institute said wage boosts had
tackled about S130,000,000 to yearly
pay rolls, while higher costs of ma
terials incident to the general rise in
the price level would add another
95,0o0,0o0 to costs.
Steelmakers, Of course, have passed
along the major portioi of these big
ger expenses to the consumer in the
form Of lifted prices, but tn institute
estimates the 200,000,000 so realized
as s15,000,00o short of requirements.
The extent of the price increase
has been subject Of controversy
recently, and some Washington sources
have indicated belief the higher wage
cation for it.
In so enormous a key industry as
steel, observers removed from the
controversy have pointed out, it is
very difficult to tell in advance the
precise effects on overall costs and
profits of dearer wages and materials.
Among intangibles cited are the
amount Of steel which can be sold,
the steadiness with which it moves
into consumption-peaks and valleys
of demand are costly-the productivity
of labor under the higher wage and
the resistance, or lack of it, to sleeper
prices by the consumer.
The largest single addition to ma
terials cost cited by the institite in
its calculations was steel scrap. The
industry used 100000 tons of it to
remelt into steel in 1886, and assuming
similar consumption ahead, on the
basis of recent advances of 50 ton
in it's price, figured the added annual
cost at Sal 100000.

Freight Loadings
Expected to Show
Increase Over 1896

Freight car loadings in the second
quarter of 1887 are expected to be
about rs per cent above actual load
ings in the same quarter in 1896, ac-
cording to estimates just compiled by
the 13 Shippers Regional Advisory
Boards and made public today
On the basis of these estimates,
freight car loadings of the 80 princi-
pal commodities will be 5,730,219 cars
in the second quarter of 1887, COM
pared with 5,331 ,496 actual loadings
for the same commodities in the cor
responding period in 1895.
All of the 13 Shippers Regional
Advisory Boards except the Midwest
board estimate an increase in the
loadings for the second quarter of
1887 compared with the same period
in 1896.
The greatest increase anticipated
by any board is that of the North
west, which estimates that freight
car requirements in the second quar-
ter will be 1914 per cent above the
same period last year, due in large
part to the heavier movement of ore
and concentrates. Actual loading OF
ore and concentrates in the second
quarter of 1886 totaled 1881 cars,
but the board estimates that in the
second quarter of this year the total
will be approximately $4,000 cars,
or an increase of 85.4 per cent.

HONOR TO OUR
YOUNG FARMERS

Many people have overlooked the hon
or which has come to the Al clubs of
Imperial county, organizations made up
OF young people interested in agricul-
ture and agricultural methods and prob
lens.
Some time in October, four or five
representatives of the organization from
this county will speak over national
radio hook-up from Los Angeles on
program sponsored by the All Clubs
of the nation. These youngsters from
Imperial county will represent clubs
from the entire Pacific coast and north
west territory
The honor was conferred upon them
because of their outstandisg achieve
ments during the last two years.
The subject assigned to the youthful
speakers is as interesting as the honor
conferred upon them Because of the
All American canal development which
has centered rural eyes throughout the
country on Imperial Valley, their part
of the program will be devoted to New
Frontiers for Rural Young People"
Imperial county can do no less than
the nation has by honoring these young
people who have brought attention to
themselves and to their homes through
their achievements. Their program may
do as much as any other single thing to
bring favorable attention to the valley,
but this thought should not dim for one
minute the recognition we owe to the
youngsters who have made themselves
outstanding in their own and other areas.
Imperial county would be a better
place if more adults followed the exam
pie set by these All Club members.
