The La1C WilI Pr0vide Litigation Proper Means to Solve Question Now Perplexing Residents of
 Saugatuck Valley.
HARTFORD TIMES

ley Association, formed to organize protest.
 It is asserted upon the part of the obtecting landowners and those sympathi2ing with them that the company has no real necessity to iimpound the waters of the Hauga- tuck and that its charter amend ment of 1927 is invalid insofar as the power of eminent domain Is purported to be extended wherever the company deems" may be nee cessary; second; because an award of damages by Q committee appoint ed by the Superior Court is to be final, without appeal.
 Controversy of this kind has bet ter setting In court than in an "in- dignation meeting" Whatever Pol- itician J. Kenneth Bradley; Aviator Frank Hawks: Stuart Chase, the economist, or other prominent fig ures in the Saugatuck Valley ASso- ciation may think of the reservoir circumstances and tho Bridgeport Hydraulic Company, one of the old- est private water companies in the State, the law of Connecticut IS strict to defend the Constitution in It's requirements that:
 The property of no person shall be taken for public use without just compensation therefor.
 All courts shall be open, and every person, for an injury done him in his person, property or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law, and right and justice adminis- tered without sale, denial, or delay.
 And Connecticut law, established by sure precedents, limits the exer- else of the power of eminent doe main, even by the State government, to instances of actual public need for the acquisition of the property.
 The Issues Of legal technicality raised in the Saugatuck reservoir case are important. Certainly if the Hydraulic Company, through poli- tical advantage, obtained 6 charter amendment giving 1t extraordinary rights and privileges contrary to the States general policy based upon the Constitution, establishment of the fact by court finding must be of value.
 We have confidence that the courts will interpret the amendment, despite what may be It's literal terms, in the light of the Consti. tuition. It would seem incredible that if the amendment confers upon the company arbitrary powers and dee nies constitutional rights to land owners and courts will not declare 1t invalid.
 Litigation is the proper course to pursue in test of the issue. The saugatuck Valley Association hes moved in the right direction to that step.
 Practically, c matter of life or death is the need of communities for water supply. The inconvenience caused to private land owners, or even sometimes hardship upon small towns, by reservoirs and water works for public use, is of subordin- ate account aS compared with the vital demand for the water supply.
 Such reservoir projects almost ai- ways encounter protest, but the public interest must prevail.

It's a long time now since the dirt road fund was out in big print in state news papers. It jumped into the headlines last week, though. The occasion came when legal opinion was handed down to the State Highway Commissioner by the Attorney Generals office stating that dirt road funds could not be used to build sidewalks. That shows to what lengths some town officials are apt to go to make use of dirt road funds. The obvious purpose of this grant was to make existing dirt roads of the back wood type available for use all the year round. There are many roads and streets of this type even in our largest cities. They are neglected year after year be- cause usually the city or town hasn't suf- ficient money for road repairs to get out into the real rural sections. That's why the state agreed to give every town in Connecticut $17 ,500 every year for repair and upkeep of dirt roads. Many towns use this fund in different ways, but the original intent certainly should be preserved.

Politics is taking peculiar twists every where this year. Waterbury was some what startled to find democratic off, cial seeking nomination on a ticket en- dorsed by Republicans and Independent Democrats. Down in Bridgeport Mayor Jasper McLevy has won some G. O. P. endorsement. And now in Hartford a prominent Republican has come forth and endorsed Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy for another term. This action also did not pass unnoticed or without comment. Republican leaders, other than those in sympathy with the Spellacy endorser, are taking hot shots at him today.

A Book a Day
Recalling the Flavor of the Old West /

| VI CLlS OIu WSSL
 Out of the discovery of the rich Comstock Lode in western Nevada, 10 years after the gold rush in Cali- fornia, stalked countless colorful characters. There was Leland Stan ford, Adolph Sutro, Darius ogden Mills, James c. Fair, William Chap. man Ralston to head the list.
 And George D. Lyman has man. aged to crowd them all Into his eminently dramatic story, "Ralston's Ring" (Scribner's Sons, $360).
 Titular cashier but actual head of San Francisco's Bank of Cali- fornia, Ralston was without doubt the financial genius of the old Pa- ciflc west. One ambition dominated him-the development of San Fran- cisco.
 Wealth from the Comstock, of course, fostered many of Ralston's greatest dreams. And thereby hangs the real story. Ralston appointed one poker.playing Bill sharon to obtain monopoly on the Comstock Lode.
 sharon's first task was to drain water of the lode to save the prop erty. To do this he engaged in. imitable Adolph Sutro, in many re. spects the read hero of the story. Sutro conceived the idea of tunnel ing four miles through Mount Day. idson to the Lode from the banks of the Carson river. And the work began. But tempers were strained in the heat of those feveriSh days and sutro and the Ralston ring fell out. fY.
 But sutro didn't give up his tun. mel. Instead he battled almost in. surmountable odds and l7 yeara later the bore through Mount Da. vidson was completed: the Com. stock Lode was rendered fully works able.
 "Ralston's Ring" is Q succession of chapters like that. It carries you along . bit breathless most of the way and you lay down. the book with . certain regret that the old west and the old-timers ere 50 long past.-P. c. P. VI

You've never known the best of things: The freedom of an eagles wings The gladneSs of an Autumn day The gayness of Springtime way You've never known the blessed sun, painted West when day was done; You've met no stars on equal ground, Until the happy day you've found

Some women are careless about

What are your careless points?
Guard Against Carelessness
Form the habit pf giving yourself
an examination once Il week. Your
hair should be shampOoed every two

The nails should be manicured
once week, but every night they
should be scrubbed. hleached. oiled.
and the cuticle pushed back.
The elbows should be coated with
hand lotion once or twice a day. and
at bed time they should be rubbed
with little oil or cold cream.
Thick or badly-shaped eyebrows
should be plucked or reshaped once
a month. and once week they
should be examined carefully and
