WILL soon PROMOTE
CAPTAIN SANFORD
1t Is Expected That He Will
Be Given Rank Of
Major

Following the army promotions that
are expected to be made this week,
Captain James c. Sanford, engineer in
charge of the work of improvements
of the Delaware river, who has an
office in this city, viii be elevated to
the rank of major. Ii has been ex-
pected that Captain Sanford would at
tain his new title February /, but it
now seems likely that it win come at
once.
Captain Sanford whose work as an
engineer In charge of the Delaware
has given the highest degree Of satis-
faction to those who have at heart the
| Improvement OF the channel. relieved
Lieutenant Colonel c. w. Raymond
ten months ago. Since that time, it is
generally agreed omong men mfluen-
tial in maritime matters, a new era
has begun for the Delaware.
Soon after he mad famiiarized him
self with the conditions in the Della
ware, Captain Sanford declared his
belief that the thirty-foot channel can
be maintained at reasonable expense.
A few months ago he expressed conf
dence that thirty-five-foot channel
is feasible, and in response to ques-
tions asked by representatives of the
trade and maritime bodies said that
il there is to be no halt in the work
of improvement of the river, Philadel-
phia should move to have a survey
and estimate for the deeper channe
authorized by Congress.
1t was this that gave impetus to the
thirty-iive-foot channel movement.
In order to demonstrate the advan-
tagc of suction dredpes IN deepening
the channel Captain Sanford induced
the department TO order here from
the South the dredge Cape Fear, whicI
in the last three or four months hai
greatly improved conditions at Cherr!
Island Flats, the shoalest part Of th'
channel. He also recommended that
monster suction dredge of 5000 cubi
yards capacity be built for the Della
ware, and this was recently author
lied by the Secretary Of War.

last ten years had there been any
progress in newspaper advertising in
China. But even yet, he said. there
was no attractiveness about the Chi
nese newspaper advertising. except as
It related to patent medicines, pills and
American beer.
ANY Chinaman reading patent med
icine advertisements in Chinese news
papers is bound TO become sick" he
declared. 'The beer advertisements
are even more impressive. Beside
flaming beer advertisements are shown

attire.
The Chinese readers learn that these
posters go with the beer. and they get
the opinion that they may have a real
view of the ladies and other scenes
through drinking the beer.
THE result is that advertising has
made the Chinese a great beer-drink-
ing nation. Whether any considerable
number have found the expected Wis
ions of the Roman ladies is. of course
something that / canot tell.
"A popular advertising custom in
China is for the disposal of bad colds
