Two Creeks on Upper Potomac
Moy Cause Pollution Problem
Conococheugue and

mo. z OF a Series.)
By Jumes Birchfield

Before the Potomac River reaches
Harpers Ferry, where it cuts through
the Appalachian Mountain chain to
enter the great coastal plain, it re-
ceives the waters of Conoc ocheague
and Antietam Greeks, the latter IA
nous for the battle fought on its
banks during the Civil War.
Conococheague Greek is formed
from two forks rising in Pennsyl-
vania. and carries to the Potomac
raw sewage from the Pennsylvania
towns Of Chambersburg and Green
castle. Its pollution problem now is
negligible, but the stream is one of
those in the basin whose future de-
velopment must be planned with
care.
The Antietam, which joins the
Potomac few miles above Harpers
Ferry, brings with it the sewage and
industrial wastes from the Hagers-
town Md.) and Waynesboro (Pa.)
areas.

posed rock. Wherever telephone or
telegraph poles exist, they are in
danger of being cut by the sand
and broken apart.
Near the shore of a large body
OF water, or in the midst of a desert,
sand dunes, or hills of sand, may be
seen.
On the southern shore of Lake
Michigan is whole range of
sand dunes. They rise to a height
Of more than rs feet, and in places
are covered with trees and bushes.
The trees and bushes help to
keep the sand from moving. If it
were not for the vegetation, the
dunes would slowly move inland
and might cover up villages in their
way.
There are sand dunes which actu-
ally move. They move very slowly
seldom more than 20 feet a year
but they move surely. In Germany.
years ago, there was village q little
distance from the eastern shore of
the Baltic Sea. 1t happened to be
in the path of winds which kept
blowing in one direction, and a sand
dune was moving toward it.
The people Of the village did not
know much about sand dunes. They
saw the hill of sand, but it came
only about Is feet closer each year
hardly enough to notice.
At length, however, the sand dune
actually moved over part of the
village, and the people began moving
away. In the space Of so years the
dune crept over the entire village.
1t covered the church steepls and
left ruin behind 1t.

Library of Congress
Has Much to Offer
High School Student
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Mary Jane Winchester, II,

Anacostia High School
High school students of Washing
ton and vicinity are privileged to
have the Library of Congress, the
largest library in the world, as a
source of research In the Library
OF Congress the student will find
vast supplies of knowledge never
touched upon in his daily life.
The Library not only houses all
types of reference material, but
contains many famous exhibits.
The Declaration of Independence,
the Constitution of the United
States and the Magma Charta are
some of the notable exhibits of the
Library. Each week, in the ro-
tunda of the second floor, there is a
special exhibit which IS often of
interest to the student.
One Of the interesting and enjoy
able facilities of the Library is the
concerts which are given on Fri
days at $50 pm. The price of ad-
mission is 25 cents.
With all the facilities that the
Library offers and the many values
that are gained through using it,
the high school student should GER
tainly make more use of the Library.
1t has been said that "the real
value of a book is in the use we
make of it." This saying can be
very well applied to the Library of
Congress, for it is only through the
use of it that we receive its full
value.

Where did the sand which we see
on the shores of lakes and oceans
and in deserts come from?
To answer that question we must
60 back to bygone ages. When the
earth cooled off solid layers of rock
were formed. Those layers made
up what we called the crust" We
may compare the crust of the earth
to the skin of an orange.
Wind and water and changes In
heat have worn down some of the
rock so that the surface was pow
dered. The powdered rock is now
known as soil. Part of it is sandy.
The rock known as quartz has
made most of the earth's sand.
Other kinds of rock have made the
soil which turns into mud when
wet.
1t is an interesting fact that sand
often has been turned back into
rock. Perhaps you have seen the
rock known as sandstone" Mud
has been turned into the rock called
"shale."
The sand of deserts has come
chiefly from the wearing away of
rock by the action of winds.
Winds often pick up sand and
carry it for long distances. Clouds
of sand are sometimes so thick as
to blot out the light of the sun.
Woe to the traveller who is over
taken by a heavy sandstorm in a
desert! He is likely to be buried
alive, along with his camel!
Deserts are often the scene OF
sandstorms. The wind picks ur
the sand and blows 1t at furious
pace. The sand grinds away ex.
