the real problem. When you say they will
have no expenses, you merely prove that you
don't know much about girls. If you did,
you'd know that the very first question that
Sally asks her mother. even as she reads your
invitation, is: What can | wear1" And al
most always this will be followed by: "Oh!
mother must have new long day dress and
an evening dress and an evening wrap" - and
the list may run on through half dozen
formidable items
1t may be impossible for Mother to find
the extra money for even one new dress,
especially if Sally is herself away at college,
and sending her there is the utmost her
parents can do On the other hand, it may be
that Sally's mother could give her everything
necessary, but is taking Salys wholly imag
mary list as an actual exaction.
1t is always tempting to the new" girl
to take every attractive item she owns. or
can buy; but she must not lose sight of the
fact that she will have to share with one or
maybe two other girls the closet room and
drawer space. Since the only sensible way to
make a list of clothes is to decide what will
be suitable for each of the events that will
take place, the following schedule is offered
as being typical of house party week:
All the girls are expected to arrive at the
house on Thursday usually - in time to
dress for the dinner and dance given at the
house on Thursday evening. For this Sally
wears the prettiest evening dress she owns.
Her clothes, by the way, must have an effect
of simplicity suitable to her age College
faculties do not look with approval at bare
backs, dripping earrings, trailing lanes, and
obvious makeup. Moreover the boy who
invited Sally to the house party likes her as he
remembered her at home and does not want
blase woman who looks thirty y-five in her place.

think the whole difficulty in your own
present situation is that you have not under
stood the shock that every mother. who does
not happen to know all about it. would
necessarily feel at the thought of her daugh-
ters going to stay for several days in mans
fraternity house! Therefore, let me explain,
as you should have done, that nowhere are

and that the house is to be given over COM
pletely to the visitors, and that the chaperons
who have been provided will unfailingly move
in long before the first arriving visitor crosses
the threshold.
One of the chaperons in each house is
usually the house mother; another chaperonis is
usually the wife of member of the faculty,
or else the wife of an older alumnus And from
the moment of their arrival to that of their
departure, house e-party visitors couldn't be
more thoroughly chaperoned were they in

its famous COACH came the following:
Dear Mrs. Post: put this decision of
writing you to a vote of the several interested
brothers at the fraternity house, and the ayes
had it. So the facts are these: All of us
as is the yearly custom - have invited girls
from home Though many are also attending
colleges) to Winter Carnival Week end at
our college. But some of us, including the
wIxer, have had our invitations turned down
by Disappearing mothers!
The girls in my home town - and also
in that of some of the other boys - have
never been to house-party in fraternity
house, and they don't seem to be able to per-
suade their mothers that it can be proper for
their daughters to stay in fraternity houses.
Others say they cannot afford the expense.
I'm explanation to you: House party Week
has been an accepted custom for generations
in college that has always upheld highest
moral standards. On the subject of cost, the
girls who are our guests will have absolutely
no expenses. Frankly, we don't know what
to make of it. These mothers accepted us at
home, even without chaperonage, yet now
they refuse to let their daughters come to
party at which they will be chaperoned at all
times.
I'VE feel sure that you as an intermediary
can explain to them that there is no impro-
priety in the typical college fraternity house
party. And as a gentle reminder in case

and dancing at some of the houses in Fra

one house are usually invited to stop in at
certain other houses.
For this, an afternoon dress of crepe or

At this dance she perhaps wears the same
dress without the jacket that she wore with
it on Thursday evening.
Saturday morning is usually spent sleeping
late, probably until lunch time. Saturday
afternoon is repetition of Friday. On Satur-
day evening each fraternity house has "open

for the members and guests of one house to 60
to whichever of the houses they choose to.
The same dress that was worn for tea is prob
ably worn again.
At Sunday midday dinner the girls wear
the same dresses or suits in which they
arrived, and in which they will go back home
on an afternoon train.
Except for whatever she may get in the

Adam Knott and his wife Dorothea

POTOMAC WATER LABORATORY

dertaken following the extensive re-
port of the Public Health Service in
1888. is completed. A plant is now
being designed for the Washington
suburban sanitary district on the Ana
costa River.
Another important item was the
Cumberland sewage treatment plant,
built at an estimated cost of S500,0 900.
There sewer interceptor system has
just been finished at a cost of $3.50. 600,
through P. w. A. funds on a 1910
basis. The Mayor and Council are
now comforting with Federal and State
authorities, planning to build treat
ment plant at a cost of about $500, 900.
The city of Frederick has under
construction 100000 treatment
plant. part of million-doll job,
being built on 45-55 proportion.
So the local communities are going
along with their sections of the gen.
eral program to wipe out the river
pollution menace, and have already
greatly reduced the estimated cost of
the Potomac Basin program for the
Federal Government.
Still another item in the list of seven
projects recommended by the Water
Resources Committee is that of sealing
abandoned mines. This work is in
progress in all three States-West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Mary
land-with funds from the original
relief act. This was continued in the
second relief act. This work has
made a big improvement in a men
acing condition which 10 years ago
seemed impossible, or at least improb-
able, of early correction. The seepage
from active mines continues to be q
serious menace.
The public generally does not real
ize how many types of pollution enter
the Potomac River. The total esti-
mated cost of industrial waste treat
ment plants is s3.O5O, O,O0O-in West
Virginia, 100000; in Maryland, ST.
100000; in Pennsylvania, 5000, 900; in
Virginia, $5O0,000: for Government
reservations, $4,000. These industrial
wastes include creoSote, paper board,
woolen mills, tanning, artificial silk,
tin plate, laundry, dye wastes, paper
mill wastes, gas works, creamery,
rayon mills, District of Columbia
garbage, powder manufacture.
THE comprehensive and co-ordi-
mated study of stream pollution
from all angles, instead Of special
angles, grew out Of conference on
December 6, 1884. As q result the
Water Pollution Committee was form
ed to determine general conclusions on
the policy Of the Government. This
committee now emphasizes that it
needs such a laboratory for study on a
relatively small scale, with opportuni-
ties for experimentation and expert
ence, and so asks that the Potomac
basin may be used for this purpose.
which will be of advantage to all the
country-on much larger scale.
The bill sponsored by Senator
Barkley of Kentucky. very similar to
that sponsored by representative Vim
son which passed the House, passed
the Senate, but failed on a motion by
Senator Lonergan Of Connecticut for
reconsideration. This has the ap-
proval of all the Federal agencies, the
National Resources Committee and
the Public Health Service. It pro-
poses to create o division of stream
pollution in the Bureau Of the Public
Health Service.

YORKTOWN, facing the bay, had
its origin in a grant Of land in
1881 to Nicholas Martiau, an ancestor
of George Washington. Here was the
first customs house established in the
Colonies, and it is standing to this
day. The places of special interest
here are the Moore House, in whioh h

Army were drafted and signed: the
Nelson House; the old Customs House
the restored Swan Tavern, headquar-

ment; the Museum: the reconstructed
French Battery; the Fusilier Redoubt;
the old Grace Episcopal Church, es-

of the river at certain times in the
year SO that there may be an even
flow all year Of water of proper quail
ity to permit industrial expansion in
the upper Potomac region. 1t is en-
phasized that capital is ready to in
vest, which would result in doubling
the employment Of factory hands in
that area-when there is guaranteed
water flow. The construction of the
dam is estimated to give directly L.
O90, 900 man-hours of labor. Repre-
sentative Randolph says the dam
building means q year and q half
work to 500 men.
Army engineers have reported that
the local interests have complied with
the conditions necessary for a project
of this type. since they have agreed
to furnish the necessary rights of way
and to assume the responsibility for
any damage done to private property
in connection with the construction
work, and have assumed responsibility
for maintenance and operation of the
completed structures. The Maryland
Legislative Assembly has created a
public body, the Upper Potomac River
Commission, in this area, with powers
of taxation and condemnation.
Representative Lewis and Repre-
sentative Randolph have been working
in close cooperation on this project.
They emphasize that the minimum
flow of water in the upper Potomac
River is the maximum flow for COM
mercial and municipal uses, and this
part of the river, which is rs miles
long, has reached the saturation point
for such purposes. AS a result, both
commercial and city enterprises are at
standstill. The industries already
located there cannot expand and op-
crate more efficiently, nor can new
industries locate on the river, due to
lack of water supply. They point
out that 100000 persons would be
directly affected in Mineral and Ale
gheny Counties, Cumberland, Keyser,
Westernport, Piedmont, Luke and
Ridgeley and other cities.
More than $4,000 persons are en-
ployed. Mr.. Randolph said. by the
Celanese Corp, the West Virginia
Pulp & Paper Co., the Kelly-Spring-
field Tire Co. and the Potomac Edison
Co. All of these industries desire to
expand, If q steady flow of suf11cient
water can be provided. He calls at
tention, also, to the opportunities for
rural electrihcation to hundreds of
farm homes In that territory from
increased efficiency of the various
power plants.
p REPRESENTATIVES. Randolph and
Lewis call attention to the fact
that the Federal relief bill for the
affected areas In West Virginia and
Maryland has been more than 10000
a year. Such q relief bill for two
years, they say. would pay the cost
of construction of this dam. Con-
struction would absorb much OF the
present relief burden, and after the
dam is built the expansion of existing
industries will almost entirely wipe
out the relief burden. Adequate relief
labor to carry out the project. both
skilled and unskilled, is available in
Maryland and West Virginia.
The second largest item In the list
Of early projects in the $4,500, 900
budget is for sewage treatment in the
washington suburban sanitary dis
