Port Arthur has an excellent foot
ball team-there's no denying that.
Furthermore, Tom Dennis is rated
as one Of the best high school
coaches in Texas. But in the face

team lost Saturday. Excepting the
third quarter, the Eagles either out

Yellow Jackets throughout the con-
test. Fessenden's charges had the

During the next few weeks Old Guard
Republicans will advise the American con-

increase the cost of living. Senator SmOot
has already blocked out that line of defense
for the present bill.

creased tariffs merely keep foreign producers
out Of the American market without in
creasing the cost of living in this country,

City And Plants Held River
P0Iluters.

Pollution of the Potomac River is caused
by sewerage dumped into the North Branch
Of the river and Wills Creek by the city Of
Cumberland as well as waste from num-
Der Of industrial plants in that section.
according TO an investigation which has
just been made by SWepson Earle, State
Conservation Commissioner. who acted on
a complaint Of the Alleeany County Fish
and Game Association.
The investigation disclosed that towns
and industries at 16 points along the
banks of these two streams were the prin-
cipal contributors to the pollution and the
installation of reclamation plans is being
urged by Mr.. Earle.
The city of Cumberland is drained by
two streams, the North Branch Of the
Potomac and Wills Creek, he said. These
streams conjueate within the city limits
and both receive trade wastes from enter
prises located on or near their banks
The pollution is very evident and is az.
gravated by the low water conditions at
the present time.
During the summer and fall months
the pollution is at its worst. When high
waters render the pollution less concen-
trated in the winter and spring months
many fish find their way into the polluted
area and then die when warm weather
and low waters arrive"
Mr.. Earle said he had communicated with
the owners of the industrial plants and
city authorities responsible for the pollu-
ton urging the adoption of reclamation
methods and felt sure his suggestions
would be adopted.
