BLAME POLITICS FOR POLLUTION OF LICK CREEK Hartford City's Republican Council Refuses U. S. Loan for Plant. Continued From Page One)

mits its sin and already is going aboit remedying the situation. One need only to nave read the Cappy Ricks stories to know G. D. Stevens, plant manager of the Ft. Wayne Corrugated Paper Company, and Hartford City's self-admitted stream-polluter.

Outlines Plants Plans Mr. Stevens, white-mustached, with a walk of a supreme court jur--1 t and the bluntness of a muletram skinner, says. “We know we re polluting Lick we know what we re dumping and we re trying to do -something about it.” "We recognize that creeks and rivers naturally have outgrown mdu trial plants. Now we re working on a system to use all of our water, over and over without pouring our wastes into the creek. ’’ Then he cracked down out of his years of experience in building and managing strawboard and paper mills and discarding the antiquated ideas of years ago. saying: “Settling ponds don't work and never have in caring for paper pulp or strawboard wastes. Say, we use 2.000,000 gallons of water a day. Where would we put ponds? We'd have enough ponds to fill this district.” He says thousands of dollars of machinery have been purchased to revamp their plant to care for an inside system of handling the wastes. Public Health Jeopardized A menlion of Hartford City and its dodging the issue of freeing the creek from municipal contamination and the aged engineer puts on a calm countenance and says nothing. He leaves Hartford City to run its own affairs. In the years of IC2B to 1931, the department ol sanitary engineering of the state board of health made a survey of the Mississinewa river into which Lick crcck feeds Hartford City's offal. The report says, in part, of the Hartford City pollutions: “The MLssissinewa river is polluted by th sewage and industrial waste of Hartford City, which is discharged through Lick creek to the extent! that public health and welfare are jeopardized.

Water Supply Ruined “The bacterial load entering the stream produces a serious condition as far down stream as Marion. In its present condition, the Mississinewa river could not be used as a possible source of water supply for | Marion. This is important, for al- { though Marion depends on wells, in the near future the river will be resorted to as a source of supply. • The pollution by wastes of Hart- i ford City interferes with the use of the stream for watering livestock and beneficial water and vegetable life are jeopardized.” The report points out that a disposal plant and intercepting sewers are needed to remedy the Hartford City pollution of Lick creek and the resultant cessation of a sewage flow into the Mississinewa river. Below Marion, the Mississinewa river is dotted with summer cottages with several small pools for bathers. Sewage from Hartford City as well as Marion and a straw-board plant at Eaton pour a combined load of murky sludge loaded with bacteria into these summer playgrounds. flame Fish Are Rare Bluegill and crappie are few and far between along the river, while Lick creek is merely a spawning place for scavenger fish. Residents ot Hartford City, along the creek, find the obnoxious odors from the ditches flowing into the creek unbearable on summer nights. But optimists of the town point out that the general election is only a few turns of the calendar away and they believe there's a possibilit> of having four converts in the city council to the cause of sewage disposal. the right of the farmer to permit his stock to drink from creeks that bisect his land, and the capability of sticking one's own nose out in the night air without holding it. They believe that perhaps when the votes are counted that public hralth may be uppermost. i Next —The River You Couldn't Give Rark to the Indians.)

BY MART MARGARET M'BRIDE NE.4 Service Staff Writer NEW YORK. July 12—The modern American woman is the most beautiful the world has known. No time nor clime ever has produced anything to equal or even to rival her, according to Howard Ren wick, famous artist, who has painted thousands of her in every walk of life. To prove his point Mr. Renwick who, as Hayden Hayden is also well known for his striking delineation of poster girts, today selected five beauties. The women who he believes could uphold America's claim to supreme pulchritude against all claimants are: Ann Harding, stage star; Margaret Sullavan of screen lame; Mrs. Allen Ryan Jr., society woman; Eleanor Holm, sportswoman, and Carolyn Edmundson. professional and business woman. a a a ‘•'"P'HE ideal American woman A expresses in her face and figure, and above all in her bearing. the freedom, the wholesomencss and the lack of artificality that are so characteristic of our country as a whole,” the artist declares. T desire any suggestion of the decadent in either women or art—and American women are almost the only ones in the world who do not' have something of the exotic and unhealthy about them.” While he disclaims any prejudice in favor of blonds, it is noticeable that Mr. Renw-ick's selections all lean in that direction.

The most beautiful persons in five different spheres of feminine activity—according to Hayden Hayden—are Ann Harding (upper left), whom he regards primarily as a “stage type”; Margaret Sullavan (upper center) of the cinema; Carolyn Edmundson (upper right) of the professional world; Eleanor Holm (lower left) of the sports realm, and Mrs. Allen Ryan Jr„ society leader.

Ann Harding, for instance, has ash blond hair worn usually Madonna fashion in braids or rolls around her head, and deep blue eyes. Margaret Sullavan, who comes from Virginia, and talks with a slight southern accent, has brown hair and gray eyes. Mrs. Ryan’s hair, parted in the middle and very smooth, has been described by one of her admirers as the color of wheat straw, a perfect gold-en-blond. Miss Holm's hair is between lightblond and chestnut and she has

BIG ELEVATOR BLAST JUST LEN’S CIGARET, ‘GIFT’ OF PROMOTER

Len Riley, sports announcer for WKBF, “blew up” the elevator in the Washington yesterday—but nobody got hurt. Mr. Riley, who also announces from the ring of the Hercules Athletic Club during its wrestling shows, had been visiting Lloyd Carter, Hercules promoter and matchmaker, in his third-floor room at the Washington. Just before leaving he had “borrowed” a cigaret from an open package on Mr. Carter’s bureau. This he lit as he entered the elevator. Just before the elevator reached the first floor, there w'as a muffled explosion, a woman's high-pitched scream of terror. The elevator reached the first floor. A slightly sheepish radio announcer emerged, following a highly indignant woman. Mr. Riley's “borrowed’’ cigarette had blown up. ARMY FLIGHT DELAYED Mass Hop to Alaska May Start Late in July.

brown eyes, a particularly ravishing combination. Miss Edmundson, fashion designed and artist, comes the nearest of all to having red hair. Her chestnut locks are shot through with red glints and her eyes are brightly blue, shaded by long dark lashes. Mr. Renwick chose Miss Harding as the stage’s outstanding beauty because, while she has been in motion pictures most of the time lately, he predicts that she eventually will return to her first love. And anyway, he adds, she is “stage type.”

REICHSTAG COUNT TO TELL REVOLT STORY Death Toll of Massacre to Be Seen in Meeting. By United Press BERLIN, July 12. —Count of faces in the reichstag meeting tomorrow night to hear Chancellor Adolf Hitler make a “final accounting” of his suppression of the alleged Storm Troop revolt may give evidence of the number of Nazi leaders w'ho incurred his wrath. Eight of the Storm Troop leaders who were executed were members of the reichstag, and names of other reichstag members have been mentioned in rumor as dead or in prison awaiting court martial. Hence persons interested in completing the story of the revolt planned a check. JAPAN NAVAL EXPERT ASSAILS 5-5-3 RATIO Equality With U. S. Urgv’d in Book. Premier Writes Foreword.

MISS SULLAVAN on the other hand, who recently has made her debut in pictures in this country, is definitely screen type, he declares. Incidentally, in selecting her as a beauty, Mr. Renwick is going against what is said to be her own opinion of herself. She has said bluntly that she is “not pretty at all.” With this opinion, however, Mr. Renwick has no real quarrel, he explains, for he was not picking pietty women, but beautiful ones. And that, he points out, is something quite different. While each of the women is intensely feminine, all are sturdily if slenderly built and go in for healthy, wholesome exercise and sports-riding, swimming golfing ( and tennis. And though they nave perfect complexions with good natural color, all, with one exception, use some makeup. Miss Sullavan, the exception, eschews rouge and lipstick off the set and heartily dislikes all studio attempts to “beautify her,” as she calls it. “My friends, to whom I have been talking about this idea of selecting the country’s most beautiful women, think I am a brave man to attempt it,” Mr. Renwick admitted with a laugh, adding “I think myself that it was a bold undertaking—but I do feel it’s important. For beauty is vital to us all. I’ve painted thousands of women and I'm willing to stand by my guns and my assertion that nobody anywhere can produce more beautiful women than we have right here in present-day America.”

JOHNSON PICKS UP LOOSE ENDS OF NRASCHEME Drafts Blanket Code for Industries Outside of Blue Eagle. By United Prrst WASHINGTON, July 12.—The National Recovery Administration today gave American industry a blanket order to abide by blue eagle rules —and thirty days in which to make up its mind. There are four courses open to business which is yet uncodified: 1. Come under existing codes. 2. Produce new and satisfactory codes within the time limit. 3. Join under anew blanket code for small industries. 4. Be stubborn and take a chance of having a code imposed at hearings for industries winch “appear to be harboring abuses for labor.” The new orders, signed by Administrator Hugh S. Johnson before he flew west for a combined speaking and vacation trip, virtually completed the organization of NRA and the codification of industry. The major order created the blanket code, intended' to end abuses in virtually all of industry operating outside of NRA. Most businesses which it affects are small ones. Industries Involved The cleanup includes the hog nose ring industry, pretzel manufacturing. wooden mop handle production, the circus business, at least 258 other industries which have codes pending, and scores more which so far have ignored the NRA. These uncodified businesses employ only a small percentage of American workers —about 2.000,000 of the nation's 24,000,000 industrial workers. By the very nature of it, the new' code is worded broadly. It guarantees labor the right to organize, bans child labor, requires safety standards and requires signers to abide by all fair practice provisions which may be established later. It leaves minimum w'ages and maximum hours to the discretion of the individual industry. Other Codes Studied The NRA announced meantime that about 135 other industries had codes in the hopper, being perfected. The NRA said finally that the 476 codes now in effect would be merged in as many cases as possible, so that ultimately the whole of American industry can be administered by about 300 code authorities. Only exceptions to the new set of regulations, General Johnson said, are important industries such as anthracite coal and ocean shipping, which present such complications as to merit further individual attention.

FARMERS ASK 2-GENT MILK 1 RISE FOR CITY Petition Filed With AAA; Increase Is Opposed by Dealers. Indianapolis housewives will pay 2 cents a quart more for milk if proposals now pending before the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in Wasnington are approved, according to information available today. Carl L. Hedges, manager of the Indianapolis Dairymen's Co-Oper-ative, said that his organization has petitioned the dairy section of the AAA for a 25 cents increase a hundredweight on milk sold to Indianapolis consumers. “Owing to the shortage of pasture and the unfavorable prospect for hay and oats crop this seems a fair proposition,” he said. If the proposal is granted, milk prices will increase about 2 cents a quart, according, to J. Duane Dungan. Indianapolis Milk Dealers* Exchange president, and Polk Sanitary Milk Company secretary. The average price a quart now' is 9 pents. "We are opposed to anything that would tend to increase the retail price of milk here,” Mr. Dungan said. “Increases would have no beneficial effect either upon us or upon the farmer and would reduce consumption.” Several proposals for a change in classification of milk also are pending in Washington. One of these, submitted by the Indianapolis Milk Producers’ Association and the Indianapolis Dairy Producers’ Council. would raise the price of surplus milk, which is all in excess of milk sold at retail in Indianapolis. This, the sponsors contend, would raise the price of milk for butter, ice cream and similar products but would not affect the price of whole milk delivered to consumers. Mr. Hedges said his organization is opposed to a chance in classification and for that reason proposed the price increase of 25 cents and another of 10 cents a hundred weight on milk used for production of cream for Indianapolis consumption.
