What Is a .Milk-Shed?

If the novitiate was asked to give his definition, it might coincide with that offered by the world-wise. Unless you happened to have some slight acquaint- ance with the milk industry you wouldn't necessarily know that milk-Shed is quite different from what you would ordinarily conclude it to be. It's place where you get milk all right, but not one located just to the rear of the farmhouse or adjacent to the cow-barns Oh, no, not at all. It encompasses more territory. So much more that perhaps our Legislature will have added to its worries the need < of defining "nilk-shed"
 Dairy and Food Commissioner E. G. Woodward has just forwarded to mem- bers of the agriculture committee of the Legislature an amendment to the present milk laws. In it you may read. ... "The natural milk shed of Connecticut, in ad- dition to the state itself, is that area or areas adjacent to the state in which fresh milk for daily use in Connecticut is produced and which gradually expands or contracts over contiguous milk producing area in accordance with the operation of the laws of supply and de- mand. -
 The dispute over what might conSti- tute milk shed arose when the Superior Court ruled on importation of milk to Hartford from the southern end of Lake Champlain which the court ruled was not within the. natural milk shed" of Con necticut but was within the present milk shed" as stipulated by Connecticut law

A Book a Day
"A Woman Retraces < Life, Seeking Peace
BY BRUCE CAPTION

A novel of poignant introspection, delicately etched and never border ing on the Iaaudin, is offered by Ra- mona Herdman in To-day Is For ever. (Harpers: $2.5O). Y The. thoughts, dreams, and re- actions of a restless feminine soul, searching for urattainable peace in chaotic. world, offer material that, handled in a less skillful way, might have resulted in a literary hash with decidedly hammy flavor. But uri- der Miss Herdman's weaving, they attain the sympathies of the read CTS as easily and naturally as do the problems of beloved daughter or sister.
 There is pathos and tragedy ::l this story of Sidney Lane and an evident sincerity of writing which, bearing out he promise of Miss Herdman'S first novel, "A Time For Love" certainly should direct atten- tion to all her succeeding books.
 To-day Is Forever" is the story of an American girl, dissatisfied with the effortless and artificial life of an expatriate in Paris. In her search for mental and spiritual al,- chorage, she returns to the home of her childhood, TOW passed from her family's hands. A panacea for peace still unfound, her search for success leads her back to the home of a former husband, to the scenes of earlier and small triumphs, over all the roads she travelled as a child, maid, and wife. -
 The memories created by this journey with the wrath of her former self offer no joy--and every reader must lind in this quietly beautiful portrayal a haunting nos talgia fo rthe scenes and exper- fences of lost youth.
 The shift from the realm of in- trospection to the climax of reality is attained through an emotional experience for Sidney Lane that ends the book on perhaps the only note that could have preserved it's beauty and strength to the final chapter.
 All in all, "Today Is Forever" is book well worth reading, and what's more, worth recommending to an understanding friend.

It was newspaper day in Hartford yesterday. There wasn't paper in this state but what didn't have representa- tive present to register disapproval or speak against the bill that our own sen- ator, Joseph H. Lawlor, introduced. It would change the libel laws of this state and allow anybody who fancied himself as criticized by newspaper article to sue for damages. You can imagine the results if the bill went through as pres ently worded. There wouldn't be news paper in this state that could have writ ten political story at any time of the year without being liable to libel. We certainly hope that the legislators will have some regard for the newspapers which may treat them a little harshly at times, but which after all, are their only link between the Capitol and their constituents who elect them.

Selected Poem

HOME Clean R. McVey, West Haven, in the New Haven Journa-Courier) Men may build palaces with gardens all about, Men may build mansions and furnish them
 throughout Men may build temples with high and mighty
 domeS,
 But no men in the world can build those Precious things called Homes" God gave the gift to women, all OCT the world so
 wide, The art of making an abode something else
 beside, Where men with willing footsteps come, no matter where they roam.
 That place so full of memories, dear. The place
 that men call Home" Where comfort, cheer and love abound: and joys of
 every kind.
 Solace for the troubled soul-the body-and the
 mind. And, though they travel OCT the earth, and every
 corner comb,
 That kingdoms made by womens hands. No man can build a home.

inces for the formation of the Czecho and Poland nations; spoli- ated of her colonies by England and France, was and is the loudest claimant for that justice which was and is sponsored by the head of the Italian government.
 Italy, with some possession almost worthless, was the other claimant for more colonies, but the events of the years 1935-36, that brought her to the complete occupation of Ethio- pia and to the creation of the Italian colonial empire, have put her among the satisfied nations.
 Incidentally, permit me to inform you that the frightful case of the Touaregs of the Sahara desert was last year almost repeated among the once warlike Bedouins of the Libyan desert. A continuous drought, which dried most of the waterholes and reduced to nothing the production power of the oasis seriously menaced the Bedou- ins settled to peaceful work after years of desertic warfare, but the Italian go. -ernment interviewed very timely and with an orderly evacua- ton of the desertic land saved the lives of tens of thousands of tribes men and oyer 300, 900, cattle, the only possessions of those people. So, while the French rulers let the TouaregS fall easy victims to famine, the Italian rulers demonstrated how things that cause war and disaster can be properly attended to.
 In the same way, If the nations that are ruling territories that be- long to others would return it to the natural owners, and if the nations that are holding unused colonies would give them to the people that are without, the dangerous tension existing among the big powers of Europe will immediately cease, and the solution of the economic and all other problems would be speedy starting for a lasting peace. But, you see, we are dreaming.
 England statesmen insist in let ting everybody know that she will not give up an inch of her colonial possessions. France does likewise. The small nations swelled with the territory of others are ready to bat tie for their retention. Japan is watching for any other opportunity for swallowing some other region of China. Communist Russia, draped with democratic colors, is spreading, anywhere she can find the psycho- logical preparation, the germs Of destruction for the creation of a Goddess world. And the newspaper men of America, that are in position of stimulating and creating a world wide public opinion for a peace with justice for all, are, instead, throwing more oil in the fire, with the non- comprehension of the real European problems, or with the acid and ir- ritant comments to the daily news.
 How can we pretend good result from doubtful sitting around 8 table of the European statesmen who already have a fixed thought about what is right and what is wrong, and are prepared to hold the grabbed territory against the wishes of the population and against the needs of other nations?
 We might as well prepare our selves for tomorrow when g cloud- burst of fire and gases will fall all over Europe and destroy the civil ization from which we had gotten our lives. Thank you.

Bristol is in the market for an isolation hospital. Is this good news to Water bury or isn't it? Why not sell Bristol our dandy isolation hospital up on Wa tertown avenue. After all Bristol is now sending patients for isolation to Hartford and it would be just as easy to bring them to Waterbury. Surely rental or lease could be arranged. If Bristol intends to build such an institution, we should at least relate our experience to them.

COLONIAL EX.;' .ANSION IS RE- FUSED MANY EUROPEAN NATIONS

EDITOR,

EDITOR,
 WATERBURY DEMOCRAT:
 have read with actual interest your last Friday editorials War Causes Remain" and "The American Example" Following the footpath of many other newspapermen, with the last of it, you are working @ public opinion among the majority of the superficial daily readers in a way that they most believe in the prac- ticability and success of an European "good neighbor" confer ence and, naturally, let them wori- der why those nations of Europe cannot see or refuse to adopt that easy solution for all their troubles. With the war Causes Remain" in- stead, in giving the graphic history of the fierce Touareg tribesmen of the Sahara desert and bringing the analogy of their fate to the Europe of 1918. you touch the problem on the real sore spot.
 Yes, you are right when you said: "Ayerting war is not enough. If the things that cause war are not at tended to, our work for peace is a delusion." But how can those things be attended to?
 Prior to the year 1886 and from that of 1922 the head of the Italian government had in many occasions warned the nations of Europe, and especially those responsible for the compilation of the peace treaties of the year 1919, of the peril of gen. eral conf1agration if they continue to refuse the revision of those treaties dictated with spirit of re- venge and hatred, and if a new dis position of the colonial possessions will not eliminate the needs of na- tions without natural resources for their industrial and agricultural life.
 A keen look to the maps of Europe and of European colonial possessions will tell anybody about the mutila- tion of entire provinces from Ger many, Hungary and Bulgaria, and will prove how two nations are hold- ing two immense colonial empires, most of which are and will continue to be undeveloped, because the hold CTS have reached the limit of their colonization capacity.

Old and Modern Water-WOrIs

Excavation for a storm water drain on upper Prospect street yesterday not only brought to light an old sewer that had been laid fifty years ago, but also an old well or spring that may have been in use almost 100 years old. Tracing back in the History of Waterbury, reference is made to spring that was opened in 1849 by J. c. Booth and D. F. Maltby at the upper end of Prospect street. It is con- ceivable that the well discovered by the WPA workmen is the outcome of this early spring.
 Incidentally it is interesting to note that this spring was later used by F. J. Kingsbury to convey water to his home on the same street and which just prior to the death of Miss Alice Kingsbury had been deeded to the Mattatuck Historical Society. As late as the 189Os the Pros pect street spring was used to supply water to the Kingsbury home, according to pr. Anderson's history. There were many old homes thus serviced before the city had its own water works
 Tn fact this section of Waterbury north of the Green, extending from Willow street over as far as Hill was at one time we'll covered by springs, all of them in use. One of the most famous in early days was that on Long Hill, still in use, which was piped by the late J. M. L. and w. H. Scovill to their home near Exchange Place. This also supplied many families in their immediate vicinity with fresh water.
 For purposes of fighting fires several large cisterns were also built in and around the Green. Of recent years these have been uncovered and in several in- stances utilized by utilities for under ground wires, etc. We recall when the one at the east end of the Green just south of Carrie Welton monument, was uncovered. Another one discovered was that on West Main street between Holmes and Central avenues. As more street work progresses no doubt further traces of the early Waterbury will come to light.
