Sewage Disposal
Plans Should Be Studied

The report recently submitted the Board of District
Commissioners by Engineer Commissioner John G. Gotwas
recommending appointment of advisory board engineers
to study plans for the handling of Washngons sewage dis

The report is based upon the recommendations Sanitary
Engineer Gordon and in many of its phases reflects the
report made last by the Public Health Service which
studied the problem at the request Of the Senate
The disposal of sewage in the Potomac River under the
present conditions is deprvng the city of many the de-
lights which should derive from this natural playground
The sanitary condition of the stream is such that bathing
should be prohibited fish life virtually extinct and in the
future unless something done the park lands adon

These conditions recognized by all authorities which
have investigated the matter
To completely eliminate the conditions of which complaint
is made would cost about $10000000 Eventually that
will have to be met because conditions steadily becoming
worse
The plea that the District afford to spend
that much money
might however be possible obtain the money from
Federal funds under the recently enacted laws designed
stimulate public and private building.
In the meantime the problem should certainly studied by
experts and plans made for eventually constructing i'm
works which will be necessary.
Major Gowals in his report the matter makes sug
geston for immediate action which will receive the approval
of all who interested reclamng the river for bathing
purposes He recommends appropriation Of $4,000 to

The Racketeer Drive

Senator Royal Copeland has described in detail the
Cedre which will be adopted in carrying out the Federal Gov
ernments campaign to smash rack throughout the nation
Senator Copeland of committee of three-the others
being Senators Vandenbrg Of Michigan and Murphy Of Iowa
who will survey the problem this and recommend Fed
ea legislation to deal with it the next session Of Congress
vast amount Of material dealing with the racketeer has
been brought to light recently by the newspapers
This will be available to the committee together with inor-
nation in the possession of the Federal district attorneys
The committee however, will hold hearings call witnesses
and subpoena records in order to dig further into the facts
You may ask how all this affects you.
The & if you business who has been VIC
mzed by rackeeers that is your opportunity give the
Government substantial help in this campaign
Senator Copeland asks you personally communicate any
information have to his office in New York city, the Fisk
Building, $50 West Fifty tyseventh st.
Your will NOT be revealed if you request though of

college, if on ELSIE ROBINSON
ly to get them out of the way
for a few more years.
But if you're just one of the
Regular American Mob, this
college query is causing you
plenty of trouble. Hard enough
to send a youngster through
college ANY year.
But THIS YEAR-whew!!!!
So the Missis and you-or
you and the Old Man-are hav-
ing it out. with the youngsters
listening in and probably feel
ing mighty sorry for them
selves.
Chances are the Missis is
voting for college, regardless.
And you can't blame her. That
youngster has cost her a lot.
Cost her in ways that a man
can never dream. All these
years, while her husband has
been building up his business,
going off on conventions with
the boys, taking the yearly
fishing trip, her childnen have
been her one big enterprise and
adventure. She's given them
all she has. All of her own
dreams have gone into those
boys and girlS-her own
thwarted hopes. her own Sc
cret hungers and rebellions.
THOSE CHILDREN ARE A
PART OF HERSELF IN A
SENSE THAT THEY CAN
NEVER BE A PART OF THEIR
FATHERS SELF.
AND so THERE IS A PER-
SONAL HUNGER AND FURY
IN HER DESIRE TO SEE
THEM GET THE BEST
CHANCE POSSIBLE.
Naturally she thinks college
is the best chance possible; for
college holds all the color and
adventure she longed to have
herself, but was denied-fun,
excitement, smart clothes, gay
companionship, the thrill of
sports.
And, of course, there's an
education. But in her secret
soul the average mother isn't
spending much thought on edu-
cation. She wants success for
her children as much as their
dad does; perhaps more. But
sh doesn't think that an edu-
cation is the only way, or even

Curious Link

He gave that man a pen
sion of 100 marks a year,
forever, to him and his
heirs. That pension today
amounts to so pounds or
about 5000 at the present
worth of the British pound.
Regularly every year, an
old firm of London lawyers
receives this sum from the
trustees of King Charles
personal estate, and pays
it over to the most direct
descendant of the kings
benefactor, even thong h
that descendant and his
forbears were American
born.

not, which runs from mod

England of the Stuart kings

getting it. No, the Missis be-
Ieves that the biggest aid
towards success is:
MEETING THE RIGHT
PEOPLE.
AND COLLEGE WILL GIVE
BILL OR BESSIE THE
CHANCE TO MEET THE
RIGHT PEOPLE.
Or so she thinks.
So mother is pulling hard
for that college course, and no
argument of dads can shake
her. Take their last cent?
Mean another plaster on the
house? What if it does?
ISN'T THE YOUNGSTER
WORTH IT?
WHAT KIND OF A FAITH

TO TURN HIS CHILDREN
OUT WITHOUT AS GOOD A
CHANCE AS THEIR SCHOOL,
MATES?
tAnd always, OF course, she's
remembering the chance SHE
once took for that boy or girl

All of which Dad realizes with
more or less sympathy. But he
can't possibly take MONS angle;
for Dad is living in a world of
practical facts - where results,
and results only, count.
He knows, through bitter ex-
perience, that that world is
crowded as it never has been
before, and that only the man
or woman who can show real
action stands the slightest
chance of survival.
''But they'll meet the best
people," Dad laughs that old
argument off. Maybe it counted.

It's every man for himself!
Pretty clothes, fun, sports
Yes, he'd like to be able to give
these to- the kids if he could
afford them. But even suppose
he could.

And young Bill and Bessie
look on, wondering bitterly why
Some Kids Get All The Breaks.
Yes, the annual college row
is on.
AND WHAT'S YOUR VOTE?
If Bessie or Bill belonged to
you, would you send them to
college? And what would you
expect to gain if you did?
Or maybe you have no young
Sters, but have done plenty of
thinking about colleges and
their results. If so, what are
YOUR conclusions? Let's hear

I never cease to marvel
at the courage and fortitude
of the human heart. And
many a hero goes unsung
to his grave. One such L
knew, and I would like to
tell you about him. HIS
name was Pietro Tulio and
he was a young italian, a
tunnel driller, or sandhog
as they call them.
He was working in a tun-
mel that was being cut by
the Lackawanna railroad
through a hill in Jersey
City. A mass Of solid rock,
80 feet high, gave way and
piled up with a roar that
shook houses for blocks
around. Fifteen rock-drillers
and sandhogs were working
in the tunnel when the
rock mass toppled forward
exactly like a child's house
of lettered blocks.
The only warning they
had was an instant's grind
ing and rending of the
huge mass of stone. Thirteen
had time to drop their tools
and escape, fighting and
clawing through a rabbit
burrow of a hole into an
other shaft.

The potency and Importance
Of mothers, in this world of
men, has been the subject OF
an interesting discussion in a
recent symposium. Which would
have been the greatest loss to
the world, if she had never
been born was the query-the
mother of Alexander the Great,
of William the Conqueror, OF
George Washington, of Lincoln,
of Napoleon or of Thomas A.
Edison?
At this critical moment, it
seems as though the only i'm
portant mothers are the moth
ers Of men who have brought
peace or tried to bring PEACE
to the world. Or the mothers
of men, who have added to the
worlds comfort, happiness,
knowledge, achievement, beauty
-: peace.
AS for the mothers of Alex
ander the Great, William the
Conqueror and Napoleon Bona
parte-they should have re-
mained Spinsters, all the days
of their lives! I'm sure they
would have gone right out on
the back porch and committed
suicide. if they had known what
slaughter and bloodshed their
sons would bring upon the
world.
"Conquerors" and would-be-
conquerors, whether by sword
or blood or finance, are the
worlds greatest menace, today,
yesterday and forever. They
are blind, unbalanced egoiStS,

about swinging incense before

He wanted whisky, but they
