Sewerage From District
With Population Of 800, 900

Maryland, Virginia and District
authorities today are planning 70
request the United States Public
Health Service to make a com
lplete analysis Of the Potomac
River and its tributaries to de-
termine the amount Of pollution
| in the river. according to District
Sanitary Engineer j. B. Gordon.
According to the sanitary
engineer there is less pollution ii
the Potomac River below Fort
Foote. Md. than there is above
Washington and in agreement
with public health officials he
urges that extreme care De taken
by the public in swimming and
using the river water.
AT present all the sewerage of
| the Maryland communities above
1.-THE District is dumped into the
river, while Rock Greek carries
q vast amount Of polluted water
from the bordering Maryland
towns.
Connect TO Sewers
Work is now being starSed by
the washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission to connect the
sewers from Chevy Chase. Ken
sington, Drummond and others
with the District sewers running
through Rock Greek valley.
This, especially during the hoC
weather, viii practically void all
pollution in the creek. although
Gordon said that during the wet
/ seasons, or following heavy rains,
the pollution in the creek is st
its highest, when surface drain
age, not taken care Of by sewers,
Ipours into the valley
The rapidity Of the flow, how
ever. he said, d great enough To
take care of any pollution, and
when the Maryland connections
are made with the District sewers
| no great pollution win result at
any time.
At the same time the situation
| in the Anacostia River will be
controlled by a sewerage disposal
i plant soon to be erected by the
State Of Maryland at Bladens-
burg, Md.
No Alarm Felt
Engineer Gordon said that no
| alarm is being felt by members
of the Sanitary Commission over
| the Potomac pollution situation
| although it is expedient that
some survey should be immedi.
| ately made, as the last one was
conducted by the Public Health
/ Service in 1924 at which time 1t
was determined that absolute
caution must be taken in use
of the river waters.
i President BENJAMIN Harrison
/ got the leading sanitary engineers
Of the country to made a com.
prehenSive sanitary survey of the
river from source to outlet. Then
it was determined that any Dis.
trict disposal, under the present
system of dilution, could be ade,
quately taken care of until the
District reached an approximate
population of 100000 persons.
Purified by Plant s.
! The Potomac River, below
Washington is said to be purer
by virtue of a subterranean plant,
Plankton, which re-oxidizes the
water after the organic pollution
has taken the oxygen out.
Plankton is found in vast
quantities in the flats of the river
near and below Alexandria and
adds lit pounds Of oxygen pei
acre per day to the river water
purifying it TO an extent that nc
danger is felt down the river Il
its mouth from pollution from
District sewerage.
A sewerage disposal plant Il
care for all District sewerage
would cost about $4,000, 600.

quette the police department suspended

Queen High At
Local Theatre

Originally "Pair of Sixes,' a
famous farce comedy that "wowed''
audiences on Broadway, on the road,
and in stock for many seasons,
"Queen High" is a filmization OF
the subsequent musical comedy
written by Achwab and Mandel,
whose string of smash hits include
"New Modn," "Good News" and
"Follow Thru"
Two of the players in the original
Broadway cast production are in
the film. They are Charles RuggleS
and Nina Olivette. Rugglcs has ap-
peared as an outstanding talkie
comedian in "Gentleman of the
Press" Roadhous1 Nights" 'The
Lady Lies" and young Man of
Manhattan"
In "Queen High" Ruggles Ind
Frank Morgan are partners in n
garter production enterprise. They
can't seem to support each others
views, and their lawyer, to settle
their differences, proposes that he
deal them each a poker hand to
decide which will become the butler
of the other. Ruggles loses and be-
comes the butler in Ii e
Morgan household. The ensuing sit
uations are packed with uproarous
laughs and comedy situations.

SENATOR PHELAN

All California will sincerely regret
the death of James D.. Phelan, former
United States senator, as distinct loss
to this state.
Senator Phelan was held in the highest
esteem by men and women in all walks
of life, some of his best friends and most
ardent admirers being political oppon-
ents, who admired him for his integrity
and his gentlemanly courtesy, and rec
Ognized his ability as political leader
He was real representative of the old
California, before the hustle, commotion
and high tension of modern life arrived
His prestige as social leader was no
less than his ability as a political leader.
Always an affable gentleman, cour-
teous and considerate, his memory will
linger long among Californians who al
ways admire the best.

emy, President Hoover ought to rule on

HUSTON STEPS OUT
W. @. COSTELLO,
Manager

RESIGNATION of ClaudiuS II. huston as
chairman of the Republican national
committee, relieves the party and the
administration of President hoover, Oh
an embarrassing situation.
Huston, appointed in the flrst place
with the idea of increasing Repuollcah
prestige in the south, was stormy pet
rel from the start.
His claim of persecution, mace III d
statement to the press following the ac
ceptance of his resignation, into which
he had to be forced, is absurd. Iestl-
mony before the senate investigating eX-
nosed the fact that he had been connect
ed with Muscle Shoals propaganda and
that he had used party funds to bolster
up a stock market account at the time OF
the stock crash last fall.
He made a bold but Intellectual at
tempt to retain his position, and flatly
refused to resign several weeks ago When
if he had the best interests OF the party
at heart as he now claims, he would nave
done so. Instead he continued to keep
his own interests before those of the Re
publican party, claiming it would not be
good political policy to resign until after
the senate had finished with the London
naval treaty.
Huston goes into the discard and few
will regret it. He betrayed the conf
dence the party placed in him, and eX-
hibits a colossal bit of nerve by his CLAIM
of persecution.
Selection of Senator Fess to succeed
Huston ought to mean bolsterlng OF
party strength throughout the country.
This is vitally essential to success at the
polls this November, for only with strong
constructive leadership and the closest
cooperation throughout the ranks, can
the Republican party continue to achieve
success.
