BUSINESS OF
LOCAL HARBOR

At the monthly meeting Of the Board
OF Trade last night, the conittee on
transportation and navigation had
adopted a resolution asking Congress
for the organization of a separate de-
partment of Federal engineers to have
charge OF harbor extension to be
known as Department of Public
Works. A fiattering report was made
Of business in this harbor.
William ID. Budd, chairman Of the
committee, declared the organization OF
such department most urgent. United
States engineers, he said. oppose the
movement as a reflection upon them.
but he explained that it could not be
viewed in such a light when the work
of harbor Improvement was regarded
as one requiring special attention.
A report of the Mohonk Peace Con-
ference from William P. Bancroft was
read by Secretary McGovern. Mr..
Bancroft expressed the wish that the

EnaIish Women Reject Side Saddles.
A great many Englishwomen now ride
astride. For dozen years it had been
popular in England to scoh at American
women for riding man fashion, but there
has been a change Of front since Lady
crichton, a daughter of the first Duke Of
Westminster, received an injury in the
hunting field that may make her cripple
for life. The horn OF the old-fashioned
side-saddle carried her under her horse
when It went down in taking fence. Her
spine was injured and her condition was
so critical that for several days she was
not moved from a kitchen table in a farm
house 20 which she was carried after the
accident Riding experts agreed that had
Lady Crichton been astride she would
have fallen clear Of her horse. and might
even. with her greater control. have held
the animal from falling. It took this prac-
tical example TO break down the habitual
British conservatism, and now that tho
first steps have been taken it is predicted
few Englishwomen within a year will use
the side-saddle. Women astride now are
in the majority in Rotten Row. the most
fashionable bride path in London. When
an American woman rode astride on the
Row only a year ago she was laughed at
and spoken of as a semi barbarian.

Then is the time to feed Grape Nuts.

But weak as my stomach was. 1t
accepted and relished and digested
Grape Nuts without any difficulty the
first time that wonderful food was

the food on my stomach I made the

After a man is taken sick he is will

or little. for the purpose Of regaining
his lost health. Too often. however,
the same man would begrudge a few
dollars for prevention. In like man

things he should do in order to pre-
serve his physical health and well be-

the value Of fresh air, plain food, ex-

heed until it is too late. Then, under
the doctors advice he proceeds to do,
with almost religious care. the very
things he should have done all the

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

DOVER. Del. June 2-Some import
ant matters may be discussed by the
Dover Board of Trade at its meeting
on Thursday night, which. being the
last meeting prior to summer adjourn
ment, will be followed by a smoker
and social.
The new 100000 permanent good
roads bill for Kent county under
which law Governor Pennewill will
this week appoint a State highway
commissioner for Kent county at a
salary OF $1,000 for four years. is CON
sidered one Of the most vital matters
Of interest. President sapp, ef the
Levy Court. will probably be asked to
take part I'm the discussion. The ad-
vocates Of the Soper good roads bill
are urging the Levy Court 10 put II
into immediate operation. President
Sapp Is opposing Il. His side of the
case he states fairly, taking the ground
that the S7.000-mile road now being
built in New Castle would bankrupt
Kent. New Castle has only $50 miles
of road and an assessed valuation Of
s125, ,000. 900 Of property. Kent has over
1900 miles Of road and only Sl4.000,O00
Of assessable property The 100000
proposed would add 10 the bonded in
debtedness of Kent county and would
not build twenty miles of road, two
miles in each district.
The purchase Of a chemical engine
for Dover will probably be discussed
with Chief Harry Vane, of the Fire
Department. II has been many years
since Dover had a big fire, and for this
reason Il is believed that now is the
time to take additional precautions
One section Of Dover is composed OF
frame barns and stables and old build
ings and It is believed the modern
chemical engine system is the only
safeguard that would save IL from
destruction in the case of fire.
Better street lighting for Dover IL

Philadelphia within day or two, SO
he promptly clapped II ten dollar bill in
