"IF I ONLY KNEW!

i So many people thus hesitate—in
' doubt about which tooth paste really
| will help. Our answer Is, "If only
you’ll try PEBECO —then you wiil
know." For Pebeco's ability to do
morp than simply wash .your teeth is
ravenlr<l by its very taste. This dis
tinctive tang says Pebeco is working,
is cleaning, whitening and helping
Nature check decay by increasing the
flow of saliva. And also, it gives the
most refreshed feeling your mouth
ever had But you'll never know un
til you try it. Why not today?—

] ADDED USES VITAL
TO RESERVOIR PLAN
Power and Navigation Em
ployment Necessary in
Storage Proposal.
This is the fifth rtt a series of articles
irhtrh ore of especial timeliness In ac
count of the serious drought from which
the Washington area has suflerest this
Summer. They deal tilth the present
anil future water supply of Washington
and nearby portions ot Maryland and
Virginia and particularly with a pre
liminary report of a committer, created
at the sugoestton ot Lieut. Col. V. S.
Grant. .trf. director of the Motional Cap
ital Park and Plcnnino Commission,
which has already begun work to find
'nore watet tor the increasing population
at this region, of which Washington ts
the center.
BV DONALD A. CRAIG.
Cost of construction of storage reser
voirs on the Potomac River, which will
be necessary in accordance with one
plan of providing more water for the
inhabitants of • the Washington area,
embracing the District of Columbia and
the surrounding portions of Maryland
and Virginia, appears likely to be so
great that it will be unwarranted, in
the opinion of the Water Supply Com
mittee in its preliminary report to the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, unless it is undertaken in
connection with power, navigation or
other projects on the river.
The committee thinks, however, that
independent construction for water sup
ply purposes might be justified if the
whole region were supplied from this
source and shared in the cost..
The relative cost of this method of
procedure, as compared with independ
ent action by the separate authorities,
has not been ascertained by the com
mittee. The possibility of combining
water supply storage for power purposes
has been discussed, and attention is
called in the report to the serious effect
on the economy of power /development
which the diversion of 600 or 800 second
feet of water would produce. Neverthe
less. the committee believes that this
"possibility” is worthy of more careful
study.
Rights Not Defined.
As heretofore hinted, the committee
wishes to call attention to the impor
tance of securing rights and of'protect
ing resources from pollution far in ad
vance of development of any of the
sources considered.
The rights of the Federal or District
of Columbia governments to water from
the Potomac River have not been fully
1 defined, the committee points out, nor
is protection from pollution of the
. stream apparently adequately provided
, for in the future. The committee says
i that in Maryland the Suburban Sani- [
, tarv Commission can acquire rights, j
! while the power to prevent pollution]
I rests with the State Board of Health.
; In Virginia the rights of the counties
: and cities in this regard do not appear
as clearly, according to the committee.
"The establishment of these rights
and facts seems to the committee im
i portant," continues the report, "because
j by such establishment it may be possi
ble to defer expensive construction and
to use normal run-off of streams for
' many years or in accordance with an
i ultimate plan of development which will
| include all the work in the immediate j
; future.”
Small Streams in Reserve.
There will always be in reserve in
case it is decided to develop some of the I
small streams, both on the Maryland'
and Virginia sides of the Potomac River,
such streams as Difficult Run in Vir
ginia. This stream, as pointed out be
fore in this series, runs during the
latter Dart of its course to the Potomac
River through a deep and rugged gorge,
and the committee believes that even
though in the case of a drought it may
run dry or nearly so enough water may
be stored behind a comparatively inex
pensively constructed dam, which can
be used for two purposes—(l) either to
supply purely local Virginia communi
ties, or (2) to increase olume of water
jin the general system which as been
| proposed for the supply of the District of
I Columbia, Arlington County and Alex
andria and the nearby ortions of Mary
land in Montgomery and Prince Georges '
Counties.
The joint committee which represents
the Federal authorities and the States
of Maryland and Virginia, or portions
I of them, has not been entirely unani- j
mous in drafting its preliminary report

I
. to the National Capital Park and Plan
ning Commission.
Robert B. Morse, chief engineer of
' the Washington Suburban Sanitary
, Commission, attached to the commit
. tee's report a statement in which hr
says that he does not agree that if
> Arlington County should continue tak
' ing water from the District of Colum
bia’s system it would not be disadvan
tageous for the City of Alexandria and
, Fairfax County to develop Occoquan
! Creek to the extent necessary for their
. purposes.
Would Provide Funds.
"The land now owned by the Alexan
dria Water Co. in the neighborhood of
: its reservoir." says Mr. Morse, "would
probably yield enough when sold to
bring Occoquan water through Fairfax
into Alexandria.
"I think an insufficient engineering
study has been made of the Arlington
County water supply situation. Com
paratively little expenditure will have
been wasted even if .Arlington County
should combine with Fairfax County
and Alexandria in developing the Oceo
quan supply. It does appear to me,
however, that Occoquan' Creek’is worthy
of careful investigation, not only as a
source of supply for all the territory in
Virginia lying near the District of Co
lumbia but also as the next step in
enlarging the supply for the District,
I whereby Occoquan Creek would be de
veloped for the joint use of Virginia
and the District of Columbia, whether
this be by division of construction ex
penditures or through capital funds be
ing supplied entirely by one party
which would still sell water to the
others.”
Mr. Morse says that the arrangement
he has proposed would not Interfere
with the development of the Patuxent
River and Seneca Creek for a large area
in Maryland and the outlying areas of
the District of Columbia, and adds fur
ther that he is "unalterably opposed”
to the development of such streams as
Difficult Run, Accotlnk and Pohick
Creeks. He thinks these latter creeks
have too small watersheds, and the
area around them will be too densely
i populated for water supply purposes
1 over any considerable period of years.

Announcing the Merger
of the
Federal-American National Bank !
and the
Merchants Bank and Trust Company
The approval of the consolidation of the Federal-American Na
tional Bank and the Merchants Bank and Trust Company by the
directors of the Federal-American National Bank was given on
Tuesday, September 16th.
Final ratification will have to receive the sanction of the stock
holders of the two banks at their meetings to be held October
20th, 1930.
When this is consummated immediate steps will be taken for the
actual consolidation of the two institutions under the name of the
FEDERAL-AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST
COMPANY.
It is the purpose of the consolidation to continue all directors, all
officers and all employes of both banks, and to operate all five
banking offices, namely —
Fourteenth and G Streets
Fifteenth and II Streets
Dupont Circle
Pennsylvania Avenue and Twentieth Street
Brookland (Twelfth and Newton Streets N.E.)
It is hoped that the consolidation with its increased resources and
service will continue to bespeak the confidence and patronage
heretofore enjoyed by both banks.
