from the riparian system. A land
owner is free to make whatever
use of his land he will, regardless
of whether it cuts off the supply
of others. A person is free to dig
a well, excavate for a building or
to operate mine on his premises,
and in doing SO he is not liable
for causing the spring or well of
a neighbor to go dry. These rules
regarding ground-water in Ohio
were developed nearly a century
ago.
Since the remaining sources of
water, such as precipitation run
off and flood waters, have not
generally been used in Ohio, the
courts have not been called upon
to make rules to control competi-
ton for their use.
There is a likelihood that pre-
cipitation run-off will be freely
usable, without liability to an
owner of land which receives it
under natural courses of events.
These are the laws as they are
in our Ohio law books today, be
they right or wrong. Before you
start using water from a stream
or drill a well, check first to find
out what your rights or limita-
tons may be.

by far the most deplorable as

Human carelessness, in one

all preventable fires. Smoking in

65 western ewes are being car

Some states, the western ones
particularly, have very strict laws
istrative authority, familiar with
existing supplies and needs, al
locate water resources to munich
palities, individuals and industry.
But what of your water rights
in Ohio? Do you know if it is
legal to irrigate? Who has the
right to use water out of rivers
and streams? Are you to be held
responsible for the lowering of
the ground-water table by exces-
sive pumping? I'd venture to say
that 99@o of the people do not
know if any such laws exist.
Generally speaking, the use of
water in Ohio is and has been
governed by what is called the
common law. 1t is a system of
private self-operating, judge-made
laws. State officials cannot en-
force them. One who believes him
self wronged on a water situation
has to take his own case to court.
There is no law, as such, upon
which he can plea his case.
Common law toward water
rights in Ohio can be divided into
three groups: Natural waterways
such as rivers, streams and creeks,
underground waters and surface
waters such as precipitation run
off. =
The comrnon-law rules which
govern the use of water in rivers
and streams is called the riparian
system. Riparian refers to those
whose land ADULTS on the water
courses. . '.

use navigable waters for COM

right to use its water. This is the
common-law in Ohio.
What rights do those have, then,
whose land joins or touches such
waters? The Ohio courts have
developed the rule that each RI
parian owner has the right to
have the water of the river or
stream come to him in its natural
and usual flow, subject only to
the normal decrease resulting
from a reasonable use of it by
others up the stream.
Thus if a landowner down.
stream feels that others above
him are depicting his supply, he
may take his case to court. He
has to show that he has been
substantially damaged. And this
is extremely hard tc do.
The fly in the ointment is, of
course, what constitutes "rea-
sonable use"? The highest prior
ity is given to the use of water
for domestic purposes, including
drinking, cooking and watering
live stock.
Second on the scale, and sub
SERVANT only to domestic uses, is
industry, and probably irrigation,
Third, and lowest on the totem
pole of usage, are those whose
property does not touch streams
or bodies of water.
However, there is a growing
contention among those whose
land does not border upon water
that the water in the streams ano
rivers comes from their land ir
the first place. They, therefore
contend, that they should share
equally in the water in the
streams. But, as yet, this situa.
ton has not been clearly esta'

Mrs. E. c. Ferridoy Captures
District Women's S Golf Title

Mrs. E. G.. Ferriday. jr. of
Chevy Chase won her first Dis
trict Women's golf championship
today with q 2-and-l victory
over Mrs. Lloyd Dennis Of Wash
ington Golf and Country Club in
the title match at Kenwood.
Mrs Ferriday never trailed and
was never more than 2 up In
a See-saw match which twice
| found Mrs. Dennis coming from
behind after trailing 2 down. The
winner needed a 4 on the 18th
hole. which they did not play.
for an 80.
Two Amazing Shots.
Mrs. Ferriday had two sensa-
tional shots in the match. She
Clipped into the cup from As
feet of of the first green to halve
the hole. and on the 10th hole
hit the pin from 40 yards off the
green to win the hole and take a
2-up lead. The ball probably
would have gone into the cup
if the pin had been out. They
halves the 17th and the match
| was over.
| The finals today came almost
as an anticlimax to Mrs. Dennis
family, clubmates and friends.
When she arrived home yes
terday after her tremendous up
set Semif1nal triumph over Mrs.
! George Noble of Kenwood, the
medalist, there was. sign "Wel-
come Home Champ" on the
! steps of the Dennis home.
It was the work of her 8-year-
old son, jeff, who like the rest
of the neighborhood had heard
of his mothers victory. He sour
ried after a big" piece of card
board and in huge letters print
ed the greeting.
Mrs. Dennis, who defeated Mrs.
Noble, up, was sent home by
her friends with orders to stay
away from the telephone and
take q complete rest for today's
final match.
Mrs. Ferriday Wins Easily.
In the other semifinals at Ken
wood yesterday, Mrs. Ferriday
was an easy 4 and 3 victor over
Betty CARRIER of Argyle. the de-
Tending champion. That was a
mild upset, principally because
Mrs. Ferriday had lost in the
first round of the last two Dis
trict women's championships,
after winning the medal in each.
Mrs. Dennis, who all week has
been apologizing for her golf in
her modest fashion, brought out
her best game for the match
against Mrs. Noble. She was 2
down at one time, but squared
the match on the 18th and went
ahead on the 14th. She had 70
for the round.

Collins Retires From Boxing
After TKO Defeat by Davis

But Davis proved otherwise
from the outset. He went to
work with both hands on Collins
head and body. Tommy imme-
diately became erratic. His once
accurate left jabs went over
Davis bobbing head most of the
time and he threw his previously
highly regarded right in futile
fashion.
First Kn0ckdOwn in Fifth.
In the fifth, Collins suffered
the first knockdown. He man.
aged to land with a hard right
that made Davis shake his head.
But Davis connected with two
lightning lefts and a right to
floor Collins.
Tommy came up at the count
of four, swapping his right hand
as if it panied. He didn't use
that hand again until the eighth,
when he engaged in a toe-to-toe
furry that excited the half filled
house of 6.46O.
From then on, Collins travelled
at top speed but it was obvious
the cagey Davis was waiting for
an opening. He found 1t about
halfway through the 10th and
threw lefts and rights to the
head that made Collins topple
over backwards in his own cor
ner.
Sensing that Collins had in
jured his hand, Referee Eddie
Curley advised him to quit after
passing medical inspection be-
fore the sixth and seventh
rounds. When Collins went down
the second time, Curley inter-
vened Immediately.
Both of Collins hands were
found to be swollen when his
gloves were removed but there
were no indications of fractured
bones. He assured his handlers
he had no serious injuries be-
fore going to o hospital for X-ray
examinations.
