ADJUSTMENT OF POLLUTION
OF BELT CREEK

think the pollution Of Belt creek
should be abolished for the following
reasons: The color of Belt creek as it
is today is a harm TO Belt. All CAM
pers and tourists pass through Beh
TO go to some other place on account
of the creek. If these campers would
stop here, they would buy things from
the stores or people and this would
make the community richer. This
water is injurious TO health and If it
is left the way It is now, might cause
some serious disease.
The beauty Of Belts position is
spoiled by the pollution of the creek.
Good fishing was to be had in Belt
creek when it was clear, but now this
has all passed. 1t is true some fish
still exist, but they are mainly suck
ers. If Belt creeks water was not
poisonous, these fish would not have
died II this water was cleared ana
restocked with fish, in few years
we would have good angling and this
would help liven Belt up.
One Of the main sources Of harm L.
Belt creek is that it interferes with
swimming. Swimming is one Of thu
best and most healthful exercises GO
ing. The boys and girls Of Belt have
always used the creek to swim in /
but now nobody wishes to swim in it
If this creek was clear, the boys ana
girls would go swimming and would
feel much better off for it.
The people Of Belt are not the only (
ones who are complaining Of the
creek. Many people up and down the
creek claim that their wells have STOP
ped flowing on account Of che creek, I
and many other cannot use the water
on account of the poison, Itnot only
affects people, but also wild fowl,
such as ducks. A few years ago
there were many ducks on the creek,
but there are now only few. This
is not because Of the scarcity but be ,
cause Of the water. Ducks do. not
like It any better than man.

POSTAL BOOST
FAILS TO MEET
!. PAY INCREASES
So Another Jump In Rates Is
Discussed as
Remedy.

1879 Nesc York AUenuc


WASHINGTON, Dec, +8.-Con-
gress Is about to do some more
work on the postal rates, and a fur
Their increase In rates Is In prospect.
The Sennate recently authorized
continuance of the postal rate COM
mittee headed by Senator Moses OF
New Hampshire, until the beginning
of the next session, to work out fur
Their rate changes.
This committee worked out in
creases in rates which were put
into effect early this year, to give
postal employees an increase in pay.
The recent annual report of Post
master General New showed a def
cit OF $49,453, 900. New said the
department paid out $32,297,0O0 in
creased salaries during the year, and
that without these increases the
deficit would only have been about
$4,000, 900.
Cost $7O,S6O,O00
1t is estimated, he said, that the
increased salaries will cost the de-
partment $70,S60,000 during the
present year. and the raises in rates
will increase revenues only about
$4,000 900, or less than half enough
to meet the salary raises.
When Moses asked consideration
Of his resolution, he was greeted

members OF his own party and Dem

ocrats, who charged that The In
crease in salaries was purely politi-
cal and was promised to aid the re-
election of President Coolidge and
that the increases now in effect are
unscientifc, hasty and burden to
business.
Politics, Says Norris
"This increase of postage was
placed on the American people with
out any consideration worthy Of the
name, and was really bill to relieve
the president OF veto message in
regard to salary increases. and it
had to be done because Of the cleo
tion," said Senator Norris OF Ne
braska.
I'VE have already legislated and
now we are going to investigate and
see If we ought to have fixed the in
creases as we fixed them"
Moses pointed out that the cleo
ton was already past when rates
were increased and salaries raised.
but Norris retorted that the pomise
was made before election.
Both Senator Norris and Senator
Swanson of Virginia said that the
present rates are destroying bust
mes. Complaints of them have been
received from many interests, they
said.

part of Candida. Always she has been
a woman whom men approve of. She
is to men the eternal woman whom
they recognize and appreciate even If
they do not understand.
"All through the ages this simple, Sc

type of men. They have probably dis
covered-men having n rather shrewd
business sense that is not to be de-

thrill them and the 'flapper' may
amuSe them. But those self-centered
females are only one woman each.
They have nothing left over and above

Another Unknown Scores.

Just few weeks ago Paramount
- handed A jolt to film enthusiasts
by announcing that an unknown girl
Kathryn Hill, had been assigned to
play the heroine in The Wanderer."
the Biblical spectacle of the prodigal
son.
In lots of similar cases, these "un-
known girls" were well known extras
and bit players. But Miss Hills case
was extraordinary. She was selected
without having had any previous pic
ture or stage experience. Harrison
Fisher, noted portrayer of the femi-
nine loveliest, has asserted she is
Americas most beautiful woman. She
has appeared on the covers of more
than 100000 magazines.
Born In New York August "a, 1902,
and educated at the Ursuline Convent
in that city, at the age of IS she
started posing for magazine cover por-
traits for number Of New York s
celebrated artists. Two years later
she was signed under contract by Har-
riSon Fisher to pose exclusively for
him for Cosmopolitan Magazine por-
traits. Then she married Ira L. Hill,
New York photogra pher.
Last February she went to Holly
wood from New York to enter pic
lures. This move, radical though it
seemed because of her lack of acting
experience, proved to be an exception
ally wise one, for less than a month
after her arrival she was engaged by
Jesse L. Lasky to play the featured
role in THE Wanderer."
Miss Hill is 5 feet inches tall and
weighs 120 pounds. She is a blonde
with gray eyes.
