resolution calling upon the Arling-
ton Health Department to stop
conditions resulting in pollution
of several streams in the county
was adopted by the Organized
Women Voters at meeting here.
Although the organizations
committee did not specify the
streams being polluted, it was
learned that it particularly re-
ferred to conditions along Spout
Run, where refuse from a Dis
trict of Columbia incinerator has
been dumped.
INDORSE PATROL
The women voters Endorsed the
schoolboy patrol program for Ar
lington county after hearing it
explained by w. L. Robinson, as
sistant safety director of the
American Automobile Association.
They voted to ask county school
officials and Sheriff Howard B.
Fields to cooperate In organizing
Schoolboy patrols here.
Proposed action by the Airing
ton county board to permit three
marrow house developments and
previous action by the Arlington
Circuit Court in permitting sew
eral row-houSe projects in the
county, were condemned by the
voters in a lengthy resolution.

"Say, do you believe in ghosts?"
Well, we laughed hollowly at that and said
of course we do not believe in ghosts, though we
held out the silent hope that no ghost heard us
express that disbelief and got sore at us.

GiUe Us Time


NOV read Hitlers speech of the twenty-sixth
and we find that the dictator therein re-
nounced any idea of dominating the world by
force; that all he wanted was the Sudeten area;
that beyond that Germany was only interested
in peace and minding it's own business
Again note that Chamberlain declared the
whole hitch revolved around the time limit in
sisted upon by Hitler for the handing over of the
Sudeten territory Chamberlain pointed out the
Czechs themselves agreed to the cession of the
territory. The threats of war swirled around
the problem of how to transfer and what ma
chinery should be used to switch control Of the
territory.
Chamberlain declared Hitler's time limit was
unreasonable" "Give us time and everything
may be settled peacefully" was the theme Of
Chamberlain's remark.

dark night our boat got grounded at one end Of
Shadow Island and We heard weird noises in the
underground which Gold Eye" assured us we're
made by the ghosts of the slaves, and after lis
tening awhile we could hear the clanking of their
chains.
Anyway we listened briefly to the clanking of
the chains of the ghosts on Shadow Island and
presently we also heard their voices grumbng in
throaty tones and that is when we quietly slipped
over the side of the boat into the river clothes

NeUer Went Back

Never Went Back
WIE ran the mile or so back to Dover Hall in
" remarkable time and in such illy-concealed
trepidation as to cause Babe Ruth, the ball
player to remark as we came bursting through
the door:
Man, you look as if you'd seen a ghost"
We said nothing, but sat down by the fire to
dry off and Babe continued remarks that our
entrance had apparently interrupted. saying:
"Yes we gotta take some of the dawgS and go
oyer to Shadow Island tomorrow and round up
them hawgs Of ourn that's swum over there. if
we want any meat next week"
We never went back to Shadow Island again.
What we say about ghosts Is that while we do
not believe in them, we want no part of them.
AS a matter Of fact, we see no point in invading
their privacy.

FEDERAL FUNDS.
WILL Be ASKED
TO CLEAR RIVER
Sanitary Board Decides
To Seek PWA Help

With midnight the deadline for
filing Of applications for PWA al
lotments, the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission asked
today for Federal aid in abating
the pollution of the Anacostla
River and Rock Greek.
While a score of towns along
the Potomac and its tributaries
want to purify the streams and
have considered seeking PWA as
sistance to build sewage treatment
plants, comparatively few actually
have made application.
Members of the sanitary COM
mission conferred yesterday with
the District Commissioners regard
ing the feasibility of bringing the
Maryland sewage into the District
for treatment at the Blue Plains
plant.
MARYLAND MUST PAY
Following the session, Commis-
sioner Hazen said the Maryland
officials suggested the possibility
of tieing In their sewer mains so
that sewage from Prince Georges
and Montgomery counties, ada
cent to the District, could be
emptied into the District system.
I'VE have no objection to
that" Hazen said, "but I told
them that a lot of new mains,
pumping stations and other
things would be needed in the
District to make this possible
and that they would have to
pay for it,"
He added that the Maryland Of
ficials did not expect District tax
payers to share the cost.
WILL ASK 100000
The sanitary commission. which
for several weeks had rejected all
requests that it ask for Federal
aid in solving the pollution Sltua'
ton, reversed itself wednesday
following a conference with Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes and decided to apply for
about 100000.
At a special meeting Of the
Alexandria city council last night,
it was voted to defer indefinitely
submission of an application to
the PWA for funds with which to
build q sewage treatment plant
there.
Speaking for the city officials,
Mayor Richard L. Ruffner ex-
planned:
I'VE are all for it. We need
a sewerage treatment plant and
we want it. We realize that we
will have to have it sooner or
later. Right now. however, we
simply aren't in a financial posi-
ton to do It,"
RIVER SPREADS DISEASE
The councils action followed a
talk by DR.. Lewis Radcliffe, preSi-
dent of the Izaak Walton League
regional council for the District,
Virginia and Maryland, in which
he emphasized that the river now
spreads typhoid and other dis
eases. The league has taken a
leading part in the war against
pollution of the streams.
Meanwhile, the District, 1t Is
learned, will readily accept PWA
allotment for $4.618,375 for use
in clearing up Rock Greek. OF
this amount, As per cent will be
an outright grant and the re-
mainder q loan.

A Left-Handed Suggestion

BACKING this loophole yet another in Cham
berains speech, was this: Il would even
consider making q third trip to Germany If
I thought such a trip would accomplish any
good"
This was left-handed suggestion foE third
invitation from Hitler Hitler's way was opened
by the guarantee" OF delivery Of Sudeten given
by the British. hitler might then say: Since
everybody seems TO be getting down TO eartn and
everybody's had his say before the world, and
you've given the British guarantee, let US get
together third time and see how we can &C.

deadly bitterness toward the Czech head. re-
reading Of Hitler's speech September rs will
show that it was mild, with the one exception
where he excoriated BeneS.
Had Benes delivered his scheduled speech, casti-
eating Hitler, as he was undoubtedly prepared to
do, it is likely that the German army would have
been on the march that same night.

Left Many Openings

CHAMBERLAIN, like Hitler, left many loop
~ holes in his speech which left the way open
to further negotiations. Here are some of them:
The prime minister declared flatly that the
issue OF CzechoslovsSia versus Germany, in itself
and by itself, was not enough TO put the British
empire into war.
Chamberlain declared that IL would have to be
0 larger issue to drag IN the British empire This
issue he described this way: IF were convinced
in my mind that another great power had made
up its mind to dominate the world by force, then
the British empire would go to war to battle
that power"
