With over two hundred volunteers
from all over this section of Sussex

the first work was dore cn Monday on
the proposed cutting of o channel from

Journal.
Ihe men were under The leadership

OF Georgetown, who is an enthusiastic
summer cottager along the river.
The Indian River is the largest body
of water in Sussex county, AMI N
though in many parts il is four miles
wide, vet the basin at It's mouth, where
it flows into the ocean is now filed up
with sand Although years ago YES

confined to small naohtha boats, which
draw but a foot or so Of water.
1t was to remedy tits trouble that
call for volunteers was made last
week. after strong efforts to have the
government take w the matter.
The call met with n ready response
and early in tie morning teams be.

work, until over two hundred We're on
the job. The proposed cut is about
half mile long ana is to be twenty

over Monday afternoon a quarter OF
a mile had been completed.
Some persons are confident that this
channel will be the proper thing, but
lnany have expressed themselves that

the ocean, south of tine channel. the
work viii amount to nothing when the,
storms Of this winter begin to drift the
sand back into place.
On Tuesday the crowd was not so
good but still considerable work was
done, while on Thursday the ditch was
carried close to The ocean. On Thurs

pass through and the farmers of the
section will then be able to ship their
produce and lumber to Philadelphia

BLOODLESS SURGERY
HEALS ANOTHER CHILD

CHESTER. Aug. 24.-Mary Las
comb. years old, after undergoing
one Of the most remarkable operations
ever performed in this country, will be
discharged from the Grocer Hospital in
a few days. The child suffered with
double congenital dislocation of the
hip joints, a serious prenatal condi-
ton from which no child has ever re-
covered thoroughly by other than sur
gical treatment and this in many in
stances failed until the famous blood
less method, as demonstrated by Lo-
REM. became known.
Mary Lascomb's case was placed IN
the hands of DR.. d. p. Maddux. who
called into consultation DR.. Herbert
i. Northrop, dean of the Hahnemann
Medical College, Philadelphia, and 1t
was decided to adopt the Lorenz
method. The hips and legs were
placed in position and kept in a plas-
ter cast five months, the casts being
removed from time to time. Now
Mary Is able to romp along the con-
crete floors Of the hospital corridors,
having been transformed from a Grip
pie into an active child.
