BIG SEWER SYSTEM
Planned to Include Maryland
Suburban Towns.
PROTECTION TO DISTRICT
Save Rock Creek and Anacostia
+ River From Pollution.
NEED MILES OF NEW PIPE
Supt. Phillips Outlines Plan to Meet
the Future Necessities Of
Great City.

Rock creek will become polluted and
Anacostia river will be noisome pesti-
lence If the population in the Maryland
suburbs of the District of Columbia in
creases at it's present rate and no steps
are taken to protect the two principal
streams which Washington's sewerage
system has been designed to protect. This
is the gist of the idea contained in the
scheme of Asa Phillips, superintendent of
sewers, and already laid before Congress
by the former board of Commissioners.
The matter has been discussed at length
by engineers In the Districts service. but
only a paragraph or two have been
brought to public attention. In talk
with Star reporter today Mr.. Phillips
outlined his plan, which is in effect to or
ganize a metropolitan district Of sewer
age to construct 'interceptors'' along
Rock creek and Anacostia river from the
District boundary several miles out into
the suburbs, and to give the Maryland
towns the benefit of Washington'S superb
disposal system.
The situation is that many of the towns
in the drainage area of the two streams
have not really adequate sewerage sys-
tens. The sewage drifts and drains into
Rock creek and into Anacostia river, and
is carried down into the District. Along
tn ase two streams are big sewer lines in
side the District. The sewage of the Dis
trict does not touch the water of these
streams at all, but is carried in the big
pipes down to the sewage pumping station
and forced far down the river.

WASHINGTON, April 2j.-Miss Es-
telle Reel, the highest. .salaricd woman IN
the government service. has just been
married. She is now Mrs. Court Meyers,
wife OF a western ranchman.
The career of Mrs. Meyers has been
one of the most interesting of that type
of American women who insist upon
independence and upon carving out a
career for themselves, She has. for
some years, been superintendent of
Indian schools for the government.

In order 10 do this she is much on
the road. rides some on stage coaches
and more on horseback. She visits
isolated reservations lost in the wilds
of deserts and mountains. She spends
much time with the Indians in their
native hauDts, takes long Journeys with
them, knows them rs few white people
do, and uses that knowledge in Mt
tempts toward Their bcttcrmcnt
In reeompcnse she receives $4,000 a
year and expenses, the highest salary
paid by the government to a woman.
She has been In the employ of the
government for twelve years, but be-
fore that time she had served her
county and state in various capacities.
AS Miss Reel she taught school in
Wyoming, where women vote. Her first
public service was that Of district school
superintendent, from which she prog
ressed TO county school superintendent.
Her success was so marked that she
sighed for other fields to conquer. She
sought the office Of state school super.
