An Ideal Festival.

Thanksgiving is an Ideal festival.
1t falls at the happlest period Of the
year. The harvest Is gathered, the
bright Indian summer days, with their
brooding haze, have drlfted south

eager north wind; the husklngs are
over; the camps of prosperity are
pitched all through the valleys and
the whole land is garrlsoned with
abundance. There could not be a bet

The first move Of the carver is to
insert the fork astride the breastbone,
at the point, plunging it deep enough
to secure a firm hold. Then remove
the drumstlck with one stroke of the
knife, first cutting through the skin
down to the joint, hitting 1t squarely.
1t is a little difficult to locate this
joint, but by pressing the leg away
from the side Of the turkey it is readi-
ly found.
1t is claimed that the expert carver
does not remove the fork from the
breast until he has quite finished. Be
that as it may it is quite necessary
to use the fork in separating the thigh
from the "drumstick."

WHO CONTROLS

Comment About Mandate Of the
Street Directors.
ORDER TO RAILWAY co.
Talk About Control of Concord Ave
nue-Questioning Departments
Right to Grant Franchise
for Use of the Road.
ORDER TO RAILWAY co.

| Some comment has been caused by tht
action Of the Directors Of the Street and
Sewer department in ordering the vii
mington City Railway Company to lay
tracks in Concord avenue within three
months or frofeit the charter The nc.
tion. it is said by some, brings up Il
question of long standing as to who has
the right of control of the road.
The Wilmington and Great Valley Turn
pike Company. it is claimed, owns the
bed of Concord avenue from Market
street to the city line. and the Whining
ton City Railway Company has recent,
secured control of the entire turnpike
road, which gives it the right to use tho
road ns il may desire.
Ii is held by some that the Street and
Sewer department has no right to grant
Il franchise over the turnpike road until
the roadway is condemned and taken MS
n city street.
On this point however. y good argu
ment is advanced in favor of the depart
ment. The legislative act granting GER
tain powers to the turnpike company
was passed in 1913. The act of Assembly
Incorporating the Wilmington City Rail
way Company was passed in 1864 and
the route was specified.
1t was further provided. however. that
the company should have full power 10
'ocatc, alter and extend its tracks
through any streets. avenues. highways
and tnrnpikes in the city or to points
within six miles of the city provided that
the Councils shall give their consent.
Since the passage Of this act the stree;
md Sewer Department has been given
jurisdiction with judicial and executive
nowers. over the city streets.
So il seems the only question that can
1rise in the matter is whether the ac,
# incorporation Of the railway company
,mends the turnpike comnany's charter.
The grades Of Concord avenue have
been fixed by the city without protest
md if il is taken that the city has power
