IMPROVEMENT BIDS
DELAYED TWO DAYS
Board of Public Works Will
Await Passage of Law Be-
fore Opening Them.

Bids for approximately $1,000 900
worth of sidewalk, water main, sewer
and other public improvement exten-
sions were to have been opened by
the board of public works yesterday;
but, after a short discussion, the board
decided to delay the opening of the
bids until Saturday at y o'clock aud
returned all the bids which had been
fled 10 the contractors.
The reason for the delay is the fact
that "scrip bill' is now pending be-
fore the legislature. II will either be
passed or defeated by Saturday. and. If
for public works will be reduced ma =
terially The members of the board
aud other city officials are working hard
to induce the legislature to pass the
bill,
Under the present law contractors on
Improvements receive scrip In pay for
their work. Separate pieces of scrip
are issued in denominations equal to
the amount assessed against each in
dividual piece of property taxed for an
improvement. The contractors negotiate
this scrip TO the banks, which discount
il all the way from ten 10 fifteen per
cent because of the labor involved in
collecting it and keeping track of
amounts paid in and amounts due in
the future.
The pending bill provides that con
tractors shall hereafter be paid in city
warrants of the denominations of 800,
$500 and $1,000, according to the size
Of the con tract, and that the city. upon
issuing such warrants, shall have lien
against the property to be assessed for
any local improvement. These warrants,
il IS contended. can be negotiated at
any bank for their full face value, and
no particular trouble would be involved
in their collection.
Contractors contend, and city Off
cials back up this contention, that their
bids on improvement work will he from
ten TO fifteen per cent higher if they
are forced 10 take their pay in scrip
than they would he if they were to
be paid in warrants. For this reason
the board decided 10 await the action
of the legislature on the pending meas
ure before opening bids and awarding
contracts.

dispatch from Washington states
that the United States Bureau of I'm

against the immigration Of Greek boys
to this country for service as boot
blacks and candyrnakers.
In Wilmington there are many
Greeks who are grateful to Jupiter
that they are here. The sunny land
of bygone grandeur and crumbled
stone and endless thrills for the
aesthetic traveller has left no longing
impression of the Greeks of this city.
The cheerful ring of cash registers,
the mazes Of their mirrored bootblack
parlors. the dazzle Of their electric
lights and the buzzing of their hat
cleaning machines are to them what
the Golden Age was to the Athenians.
The government inspectors, after
visiting Chicago, st. Louis. Indian
apolis. Cleveland and other large
cities. have found that many OF the
boys have been getting into this coun-
try on ''phony'' admission tickets. IN

DREAD TUBERCULOUS GERM
s5 Per Cent. of Men and Women, Over

Leading doctors and diagnosticians,
who have spent many years in study
and research. state that 50 per cent.
of the population over eighteen years
of age have tuberculous germs in some
part of their body.
Many people think Of tuberculosis
as a disease of the lungs only. Thcy

any organ OF tissue Of the body. IL
is only one form of the tuberculosis
when it affects the lungs and is then
known as pulmonary consumption,
but the same tuberculous germ affects

MANY OCCUPATIONS
THAT ENGAGE WOMEN

The Companion often describes the
various occupations in which women
may engage The fact must not be
overlooked that a woman may pursue
a score Of occupations at one timc.
There was once a woman who found
herself compelled to earn her living
in a large city, with no equipment but
good sense and tact and a knowledge
of housekeeping. She hired herself
out for "odd jobs in families of
moderate means.
She may spend to-day making over
an armful Of silk Detticoats. Out OF
five ragged ones she contrlves two
good ones. Tomorrow she may be called
to a house where a daughter recover
ing from grip is troubled with delu-
sions. The girl needs a cheerful per-
son to sit with her, walk with her and
persuade her that the voices she hears
will vanish with returning health.
Again the usefu woman undertakes
the task Of chaperoning a stout girl
to a gymnasium and encourage her to
persevere in her efforts TO get rid OF
superfluous flesh. From there she goes
to a dressmaker and Is fitted for a
client whose figure resembles her own.
She is invaluable when there is death
IN the household. She knows exactly
how to arrange the details OF a
funeral to give the least pain and the
most comfort to the bereaved family.
She Is wonderfully useful when an
entertainment is to be arranged by
persons who need carefully to con-
slider expense. For 50 a day she will
do what a caterer would do only fol
five times that sum; and her work has
a certain refinement and distinction
Of which the hostess may be proud.
So this enterprising woman has
built uD a business which makes hel
a veritable Jill of all trades. from mil
/ linery and catering to nursing and
undertaking. In every department OF
/ her multlform activity she Is guide
philosopher and friend to her en-
ployers and throws into her service
genuine sympathy and womanly wis
dom. No wonder she makes a good
living!-Youths Companion.
