NEW ORDINANCE Is NEEDED
People Complain Of Sidewalks Being
Washed at All Hours Of Day

Among the many ordinances that gov
ern the city's affairs there is one that is
lacking and is badly needed some law
governing the hours during which side
walks may De washed.
I'm many other States is an ordinance
which permits the washing of sidewalks
only before o'clock in the morning. In
Wilmington, residents may use water on
pavemcnts an day long without restric-
tion.
Many persons. especially shopkeepers,
seem to take delight in stopping theil
pavements mt such hours that the streets
are most used Pedestrians are ofti.mes
compelled to walk in the streets TO AVOID
drenching from a hose in the hands of
some careless person. Women are es
pecially annoyed as the water splashe'

There seems TO be an idea prevalent
that the press should not hold up to
public scorn the deeds OF corrupt poll
ticians. and the foul crimes perpe-
trated under the orders from machine
statesmen. because this has a tendency
TO bring the State or municipality into
disrepute. The organs of the looters
are adept in the use of this sort Of ar

THE LITERARY WORLD

Detective novels. as a rule. are diff
cult of classification. Some are of the
.dime-novel type and others are weak
limitations of Conan Doyle and Anna
Katherine Green. Burford Delannoy's
story, "e19,OO0, stands alone as rare
example of the detective story. Messrs.
Feano & Co. report an unusual demand
for this book. and a new edition is now
printing.
For an anonymous novel when n

.clever things as to battle one in pro-
calming its authorship. This para
