MORE MONEY FOR CONSTADLES
aarsh Company isks That Seventh Street
Bridge Be Opened

The Levy Court yesterday afternoon
adopted a resolution fixing the follow
ing allowances for constables for
taking prisoners TO the workhouse:

from points outside of Wilmington, as
far south as the Delaware and Chesa-
peake canal. 50; from points south OF
the canal, s4. No mileage will be al
lowed In any such cases. The new
schedule makes an increase Of so cents
for conveying prisoners from VIII
mington. and an increase Of 81 from
points outside the city.

old schedule of allowances was totally
inadequate for the constables.

ARMY NURSES ARE OFFICIALLY
RECOGNIZED BY THE SERVICE

both the hospital and training school
before admitting them
After flling her application blank
and binding herself for one year, the
nurse becomes a daughter of the army
indeed. and there is no backing out,
no matter how hard the duties or un-
pleasant the surroundings.
Her duties are those generally as
signed to a nurse in any hospital or
field work in time of war, and the pay
in the United States Is forty dollars a
month. and in Cuba and the Philip
pines fifty dollars
Only thirty days leave of absence is
granted for the whole year, but a
special leave may be given for any inn
portant reason, and the pay is stopped
until the nurse returns TO her duties.
The chief nurse or matron gets s.
extra, unless there are five or more
nurses under her, when she receives
$40, and s25 extra for ten subordinates.
: There is a special nurse called the
dietist. who prepares all the food foi
the patients.
: No age limit has been set for either
entering or leaving the service. If a
nurse can present the necessary creden-
tials she is engaged, no matter whether
she be young or old. and so long az she
is capable and does her work properly
she viii be retained.

Fashions in FObs

There never was such a fad for fobs
as at present. All sorts and conditions
have been pressed into service, and now
comes the wash fob. They are the
correct thing to wear with tub frocks
and are shown in different materials,
oolors and styles of makeup. They
are ornamented with stitching and
embroidery and finished with buckles,
white. black or colored. Sets Of stock,
belt and fob. all to match, are shown.
What is known as the Du Barry fob
is of white pique with gilt or green
oval buckles.
A fob OF cheviot has embroidered on
the end in black the triple feathers
that figure on the crest of the Prince
of Wales and has an oxidized buckle.
Other fobs are of mercerized canvas
Ornamented with stitching, and COM
pleted with an oval enameled buckle
in white, black, blue, red or green.
A fob of white pique with gilt
buckle in the form of a horseshoe and
finished with a gilt stirrup will appeal
to the girl who rides or drives.

FILLING IN LAND At
LANDLITH PROGRESSING

The work on the improvements at
Landlith is progressing rapidly. An
extensive tract of land has to be filed
in and it will take some time to do IT,
An the land the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company owns between Landlith and
Shellpot No. /, which is near Edge
Moor. will have to be filled n to a
depth of six or eight feet. This will
have to be done in order TO bring the
new shops and the rOundhOuse on
a level with the railroad. 1t will take
an enormous amount of dirt to fill In
there. but the company officials say
they can secure sufficient quantities
from Farnhurst and what property they
own in Wilmington to meet all their
requirements.

neers in measuring and laying out the
grounds for the new improvement had
not taken into account the flow and

that this mistake had been discovered
and that all the space of gound on
which the new shops and roundhouse
were to be erected would have TO be
filled in at least from three to i've feet.

no truth in this report. and that the

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Cauierized a Dor Bite


To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: | was called upon to cauterize
a dog bite for Marguerite Gebhart, aged
years of Yorklyn, Del, last evening.
Il was a bad bite on the right arm
above the elbow just over the basilic
vein. This is the large vein of the
arm superhcially and may have been
punctured by the dogs teeth The child
will be kept under treatment for thir-
ty days, as a propylaxis against hydro
phobia. The dog shows no signs of the
disease, but as there has been such
scare in this section for a year and
more the precautions are taken. l
think the people should ask the Levy
Court to take measures TO control the
dogs of the county as did the city Off
GERS In Wilmington. In Baltimore
each dog owner is compelled to pay 50
per year for keeping a canine.
