OFFICIAL AUTUMN
BEGAN THIS MORNING

Official autumn began this morning at

been on hand for several weeks, but Mr.
Weatherman, the world over, always re-
fuses to recognize its arrival until a GER
tain date Then he formally welcomes II

The hosts OF autumn formed for their
yearly attack on old summer late in Au-
gust Their skirmish line OF chill winds
harassed tho pickets OF the woods, the
shumach and the dogw0od. Their vanguard
Of haze hampered the reinforcements OF
Old Sol. SO now, even before the ad-
vance OF the main body under General
Jack Frost, early victory is assured.
Summer made little resistance. Ono day
last week, Saturday, its forces rallied.
Aided by the sun. the rapid advance of
fall was momentarily checked. But only
momentarily. Sunday a cold north wind
swept down and all the good work of the
previous day was lost.
Autumn usually acknowledges Mr..
Weatherman's somewhat tardy recogni-
tion OF it's presence with a flourish, the
so-called equinoctial storm. Mr.. weather
man has anticipated this acknowledge
ment. The storm Is on its way here from
the South. a rather unusual quarter, but
then autumn rallies its forces from every

this display, but many other parts Of the
country have seen OF much OF it. and

NEW BANK LAW,
IN EFFECT, JAN. /
Measure Which FinanCiers
Seem Not to Have Heard
Much About

Some one discovered or affects to have
discovered that the last Congress enacted
a law 10 take effect January 1 next as
follows
No person shall make issue. circulate
or pay out any note, check, memoran-
dun, token or other obligation for
less sum than 81. intended to circulate
as money or to be received or used in
lieu of lawful money OF the United
States. and every person so offending
shall be fined not more than $500. or i'm
prisoned not more than six months
or both.
Bankers here and there profess en-
tire lack Of knowledge Of the existence
OF any such enactment, but If it does
exist the opinion finds expression that
It VIII apply against the drawing or
checks for less sum than 81.
tt is certainly a craGy-loolxink stat
ute, but IL II exists # must apparently
have some application to the circula-
tion Of cashiers checks and the like, IN

But as the tax Is practically prohibitive

why in all creation should an absolute
ly prohibitory statute be enacted against
fractional notes of individuals?
The conclusion that the stauate-if it
exists-applies against the drawing OF
checks for less than 81 is evidently not
well based. The checks specified arc

does not at all answer to the descrip-

Such a paper is not money but merely
claim to money. It is not money. Il
does not circulate in the sense that mon.
ey does. and It Is never received as
money or used as money or as more
than a claim to money. 1t is merely an
instrument designed to facilitate the
transfer Of money.

Object Of the call was to gain infor-

themselves as more than pleased with
the cordiality of their welcome at the
hands of Mayor Edgerton, City Err

The Wilmington representatives ar
rived in the city yesterday and had
their first view of the Flower City by

pleasing one. Particularly were they
impressed with the lighting Of Main
street and the absence of any poles
but those supporting the electric lights
and trolley wires.
This morning the city's electric ex-
pert, Joseph r. Putnam, took the Wis
itors about town and showed them
the back lot system Of poles, whereby
wires I'm the streets are avoided. An
other feature that appealed to the
visitors was the lack of instructions
in the streets In tho way of stens and
other encroachments. Wilmington has

little thought. To make the study more
Interesting and profitable It may be
truly said that il is easier to heat a
house properly than to heat il i'm
properly; and that it takes less time
and tinkering to maintain an even,
healthful temperature than to keep a
house full of drafts and cold spots.
Too much heat is worse than too
little. IL saps vitality from the body
and makes it sensitive to changes. Diff
ferent degrees of warmth in different
rooms, or in different parts of the same
room, cause sudden changes in skin
temperature as one moves about the
house, and gives rise to troublesome
colds. Temperature that varies from
hour to hour-sometimes hot and
sometimes cold-has the same dam
gerous effect.
1t is a fact not generally known that
coal gas (Which is an unfortunate but
almost universal by-product Of a hot
air furnace) irritates the delicate
membranes lining the throat and bron-
chial passages. making them extremely
sensitive and troublesome. often con-

Strange to say, it costs less TO warm

does to warm It irregularly. INSULT
ciently, dangerously. This has beer
proven over and over Yet most of the
poor heating systems are installed witt
the idea Of saving money. The trou-
BILE is in the choice Of the plant.
Steam or hot water makes by far the
most efficient heating medium. And the
Model Heating System seems TO be the
most regular in its delivery Of heat
and the most saving of coal Its econ
omy begins with the thorough combus-
tion of coal-getting all the heat out
of it. Then, by unique plan Of inter-
nal circulation it heats water very
rapidly and carries it Cor steam in a

with perfect regularity and with prac-
tically no loss.
The makers state that this system
will save from a third to a half of the
ordinary coal consumption, because it
thoroughly utilizes the coal This
claim is backed by letters from many
people throughout the country who find
the Model Heating System. not only
economical but so regular and able
that IL banishes almost entirely that
fall winter and spring bugaboo-colds.

heavy downfall Of rain soon, chester
manufacturers say there is strong
probability that they win have to close
down their plants until the drought

The trouble is caused by the brack-

low water in the creeks and small
streams which feed the Delaware and
the absence OF rain, causing the salt
water to work up from the bay.
