SURVEY SHOWS
RIVER TO Be DEEP
Government Engineer Says
Former Report Was MiSIead-
ing in IFS Figures

Surveys which have just been com
pleted by the government engineers
in charge of the Delaware river chan
mel disclose the fact that recent in
formation made public as 10 conditions
in the river was misleading. and that,
in reality. there is probably a better
channel condition than there has been
lat any time in the history Of the i'm
.provement
II was announced yesterday by Major
Herbert Deakyne, engineer in charge,
that the least depth IN the channel
from Philadelphia to the capes is 26
feet, at mean low water, while over
some of the most troublesome areas
there is a decided improvement, and
that today there is a depth over Dan
Baker and Reedy Island range of from
20 to so feet, instead Of from "a to
q feet as recently reported.
Dredge Changed Conditions.
The figures which have discourse ged
shipping men were furnished by Major
Deakyne recently, TO the commercial
bodies, and they showed less than %
feet of water on Reedy Island an Lis
ton ranges. while on Dan Baker, ac-
cording to their figures. there was only
26 feet
The survey on which these figures
We're based was made in August. and
showed the river condition up to Sep
tember /.
In view Of the alarm that was felt
on account of this showing, the sue
tion dredge Delaware was put to work
/ In the lower reaches of the river,
and in very short time brought about
an entirely different cond tion. The
survey now completed shows almost 80
feet of water at mean low tide, on both
Dan Baker and Reedy Island.
Normally. II would, of course, be inn
possible for the dredge to deepen the
channel from 20 to so feet over these
ranges in 50 short a time. The ex-
panation made yesterday by Major
I DealSyne, however. throws a new light
on cond tions in these lower reaches
one engineer said that, in the origi-
nal work of cutting the 30-foot channel
over these shoals his Office had made
contracts. first for $50 feet of width
on each side of the cente~ line OF
the channel, and subsequently for two
more strips of $50 feet each on either
side Of the width already dredged thus
making the full channel width of 60C
feet one result however. was to
make the channel much deeper on the
sides than on the center line.

NO CORSETS FOR
COLLEGE GIRLS

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The girl stu
dents who attend Erasmus Hall High
School, Brooklyn are simply worried
sick. They don't know what to do
next or what not to do. but they are
certain that If they follow tho instruc-
tions and behests OF some OF those in
authority at the school they viii all
be perfect frights." They say they
are not simple village maidens and
they have no wish to appear as such,
even If they do live IN Brooklyn.
Last week the girls were told that
they must not come to school with rats
and braids and switches and Psyche
knots and puffs in their hair. but
must wear the crowning glory Of
woman without adornment or falseness.
Their hair, they were told by Miss
Kate +. Turner, the assistant princi-
pal. must be brushed back plainly and
braided. and later in the week Miss
Turner made some of the girls take
off all their false hair and rats and
wash their faces right there in the
school.
Girls llI or Tired.
That was bad enough, the girls de-
clared. but now they are asked by an
other teacher-Miss Catherine B.
Campbell, the gymnasium inspector at
the school--to leave off wearing cor
sets! Miss Campbell made her re-
quest-some of the girls say It was a
commando few days ago She said
she had noticed that some of the girls
were prone TO give excuses that they
were Ill or tired when called upon
to do gymnastic work, and she attri-
buted all their ills to the evil practice
OF wearing corsets.
She said that she wished all the girls
TO give up wearing corsets at once
as they were detrimental to their health
and WELL being. She went further and
said that she wished them all to weai
what she called a Co -educationa
dress" This is a two-part dress. with
plated skirt and loose fitting waist
which comes down to the knees Of the
wearer. 1t has a long panel in from
and another panel behind, and is es.
peclally designed to conceal the figur,
Of the girl who wears it, be she plumI
or scrawny.
Now, some Of the girls who attenC
Erasmus Hall High School have very
pretty figures, indeed, and they se'
no reason for concealing them undel
a garment which comes pretty near t
being of the shape and general ap
pearance OF a Chinese laundrymani
shirt.
Gymnastics Compulsory.
Gymnastics are compulsory at Eras
mus Hall, and the girls say they sup
pose they must put up with them. still
they don't think it Is right that the!
should be obliged TO do a rapid -chang
act every time gym" day come
around. They are allowed exactl!
three minutes in which 70 get out o
their everyday togs into bloomer
and slippers and get back into thei
normal attire. They say that evel
Yesta Victoria takes longer than tha
to change her costumes on the vaude
Vile stage.
Then there is another new rule a
the Hail-they must not wear jewelry
Bangle bracelets are enjoined. and s.
are necklaces and fancy pins and al
the little gewgaws so dear 70 the hear
OF womankind.
They are stin permitted to wea
hairpins, but they are daily expectinl

plain black heavy kind such as farm
ers' wives use

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form Of skin Trouble Quickly
Cured by inexpensive Treatment.

Worst Form Of skin Trouble Quickly
Cured by inexpensive Treatment.
When you suffer with any skin trou-
BILE even though the itching seems un-
bearable, do not think that 1t Is neces-
sary to use some disgusting greasy
ointment. Try Hokara. a pure and sim
pie skin food, that Is guaranteed TO
contain no grease or acids and which ia
so cleanly that it does not soil tho
linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any r.
ritation of the skin and make It soft,
white and beautiful IS almost miracu-
lous
Not only are minor skin troubles,
like pimples, biackheads, acne, bar
ber's itch. etc. quickly cured, but the
worst ulcers or cases Of salt rheum
or eczema are cleansed and healed by
this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense, n. B. Danforth
is selling a liberal sized jar at Csc and
IN addition guarantees to refund the
money If the treatment does not do all
that is claimed for It. Larger size so

The ShnuIder Stran.

II it were possible to compile such
data it would be extremely interesting
TO know to what extent women have
Influenced the uniforms and equip
ment OF their fighting states. A little
instance in point is the steel curb
shoulder strap of the British cavalry.
When Sir George Luck was setting
out for Kandahar during the Afghan
operations Lady Luck, knowing PROB
ably something of the fighting methods
of the tribesmen, whose four foot knife
can cut clean from shoulder TO belt
sewed a couple Of steel curb chains
under each Of the shoulder straps on
her husbands tunic. AS a protection
from sword cuts these proved SO ef-
fective that at the end Of the campaign
Sir George made report in relation
thereto. with the result that they were
adopted as a permanent feature OF the
cavalry uniform.-Harper's Weekly.

Peshastin has the most enthusiastic lot

members attend regularly. He says by
the first OF December the population OF
the little valley which has the store
and postoffice for its center will double
if not treble. In the past ten days Pc
