WASTE TREATED
ONLY PARTIALLY
AT BLUE PLAINS
so Per Cent Publication
Result Of Economy"
BY FRED MARBUT

The District of Columbia spent
81, 100000 to build a sewage dis
posal plant at Blue PlainS-but
only scavenger fish are found in
the nearby section Of the Potomac
River.
A board of engineers chosen by
the District Commissioners to
study the plant recommended con-
struction of a plant to cost $780,
900. The engineers believed ex-
penditure of that amount would
provide complete publication Of
the treated sewage.
ONLY PARTIALLY TREATED
However. because an incomplete
plant was constructed, in spite
Of indications the Public Works
Administration was willing to pro-
vide money to build an adequate
plant, sewage is pumped into the
Potomac after only go per cent
treatment.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
has indicated he would regard "a
Vorably applications by towns in
the Potomac Watershed for PWA
funds with which to build sewage
treatment plants to help purify
the rivers. But while several near
by towns are proceeding with ap-
plications for funds to build such
plants, Washington continues to
pump matter through its sewage
treatment works and render near
by parts of the Potomac uninhab-
liable to fish life and dangerous
to human beings.
MANY BACTERIA DISCHARGED
The 40 per cent of untreated
matter discharged into the river
included an enormous amount Of
bacteria. An average Of $4,000
gallons of waste is worked through
the plant every day.
Abner L. Roe, Of the Tzaak
Walton League, said pollution
from the Blue Plains plant caused
game fish to keep to the far side
Of the river, away from the treat
ment plant. and to avoid the Dis
trict and Maryland waters.

COMMUNITY USE
OF new SCHOOLS
URGED BY QUINN
Existing Fairgrounds
Not Shady Enough
By DANIEL O'CONNELL

ny OkAGN4EA " NOCNNGAA
Every school building erected in
Washington in the future, should
be planned with the idea in view
that in addition to being a build
ing to train boys and girls during
tn day, that it also should be the
center for community activities.
This IS the view expressed by
Henry I. Quinn, chairman of the
committee on community use of
buildings and grounds, Of the
Board Of Education.
The proposed Coolidge High
School and the new jefferson Jun
ior High School will be built with
this end in view, Mr.. Quinn says,
and other schools will be adapted
to community use as soon as the
funds are obtained.
ABSENCE OF SHADE
The great trouble with the ex-
listing Fairgrounds. Mr.. Quinn de-
clared, is the absence of shade
from the sun or covering from the
rain. If the Fairgrounds Of the
city were connected with schools,
there would be no need for chill
dren playing on the streets and
many lives would be saved, he
says.
During the heat of the day or
In event of rain, the children using
the Fairgrounds could continue
their games indoors and in addi-
ton have the use of showers and
gymnasium, with which many
schools are equipped. This would
require but little addition to the
$13O,O0O now appropriated for the
community center department of
the Washington public schools.
OTHER NEW SCHOOLS
The new school buildings. in ad-
dition to the Coolidge and Jeffer-
son which will be undertaken or
completed this year are: the Ban.
neker Junior High School for
colored children; the new Cuno H.
Randolph Elementary School in
Petworth; an additional story to
the Noyes School in northeast; the
Ienox Vocational School; the Den
nison Vocational School: the

Is between an elementary and a
vocational SCHOOL, and an addi-
tional story on the Cleveland Ele-
mentary School. In addition to
this school work the Wilson High
School stadium will be renovated.

 Perhaps he sees as well as any body that daddy is impossible, or mother just too trying, but he clings with great faith to his se- curity in spite of everything else. It is not selfishness. It is need.
 He will, of course, be passed around. He reacts accordingly. Why should he try to make much effort when there is no corporate body, his two parents, to please? Or may be he just wits and loses courage.
 It has become one of our national problems. HeartSick mothers, de- prived of their children, try to get them back; or fathers, as the case may be. The truth is that we can- not eat our cake and have it. The time to think is before divorce, not after it. I recommend more toler- ance on both sides, more forgiveness and less brooding over delinquen- cies. The child is paramount every time. After all, the child was the reason for the institution of mar riage in the very beginning.

.BEAUTX~--'"''1'''--''''- Gl0rvving
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer)


 She looks cutter in socks than in stockings and is so used to having cold knees that she never complains about the weather; but what about the texture of the skin on your small daughters legs? It's part of mothers job to see that they stay white and smooth in spite of ex- posture to all kinds of weather. AS a matter of fact, whether or not any little girl grows up to be beauty really depends good deal on the kind of care she gets while shes still pretty much of baby.
 During winter months, children's knees and legs ought GO De massaged with hand lotion after each bath. Just before she goes out to play in the snow, it's good idea to smear light film of cold cream on your daughters knees. No matter how cold her legs are when she comes in, don't wash them in hot water. Simply sponge them with cool water, dry carefully, smooth on hand lotion and let them warm up gradually.
 Small cheeks which chap easily should be covered With a thin film of plain white vaseline at night. If, in spite of the nightly treatment, they continue to be rough and un- comfortable, put little cold cream on them several times during the day. And chapped lips can be cov- cred with vaseline at night, color less pomade during the day.
 Keep bottle of hand lotion on a low shelf in the bathroom and let the children know that it belongs to them. Urge each one to use it several times day. Also to push cuticle back with the towel when she dries her hands. If she picks at cuticle or, worse yet, bites her nails, put cuticle cream around her nails two or three nights week and manicure them yourself once a week.
 The manicure should include shipping off of ragged bits of cuti- cle which annoy the child, elimina- ton of rough edges which encour- age biting and, of course plenty of oil on fingers as well as around nails. Also, tactful little speech about how proud you'll be of her when she stops biting her nails and lets them grow nice and long and attractive-like your own!

PROPERLY MADE BEDS

For that smooth look, and for the utmost comfort, beds should be made according to definite rou- tine. Wrinkles must be kept out of every corner, so begin by placing the pad smoothly over the mattress. The bottom sheet should be placed with the center crease exactly in the middle of the bed and must be tuck ed in well at the top and sides, with corners folded flat and smooth. The top sheet should be laid wrong side up with the large hem at the top, and should be tucked in well at the bottom.
 Lay each blanket or cover even- ly on the bed so that both sides can be pulled tightly and neatly. The hem of the top sheet is then turned back over the blanket for a neat finish to the covers. Fluff up the feathers of ths pillows and shape them to the desired forms. Lastly, cover the bed with spread, and take pains to see that the de- sign is in the center.
