FIGHT
The MEAT LAW
Tell Health Board Require
mentS Are Unreasonable;
Board Remains Firm
CHANGERS INTIMATE
SOME COURT ACTION

At the weekly meeting OF the Board
OF Health yesterday afternoon farm
ers made vigorous protest against the
new meat ordinance requiring the COW
ering of,meat by screens The princi-
pal complaint was that glass cases for
covering poultry and meat would take
up too much Of the already restricted
space permitted farmers in the curb
markets.
Ellis Hicks. a well-known farmer of
Mill Creek hundred, voiced the first
protest, declaring that farmers would
have no space to display their poultry
If obliged to use glass cases.
DR.. Cleaver thought that farmers
might readily use glass cases, since
they now used butter tubs, but Mr..
Hicks said poultry could be cleaned,
while butter couldn't.
John Brockin, of Mill Creek hum
dred. declared the regulation would
drive many farmers from Wilmington
markets, which now. he declared. were
known as the best markets in this
part of the country.
Hervey Walker declared that glass
covers for farmers stands would be
impracticable. He suggested as a
substitute that the board permit the
farmers to cover their meat and poul-
| try with white mosquito netting. He
| offered the aid of the farmers in keep
/ ing the market streets clean. Poultry
was thoroughly cleaned. he said, and
there was more reason why the Gov
/ ering of fruit and vegetables should
! be enforced.
Frank Yearley. of Mill Greek hun
dred. wanted to know how the farm
ers would get along at Christmas
when had so much poultry to display
After further discussion in a simi
lar vein. DR.. Cleaver emphasized the
need of glass covers in protecting
meat and poultry from filth and germs
! This was not mere guess work, h'
| declared. He insisted that the farmers
covered their butter to protect it from
filth and germs. and he saw no reasor
why they should not similarly cover
their meat The only explanation, h'
| thought, for the fact that the farmers
objected TO covering meat was tha
/ the effect of the exposure of meat was
not so apparent to them as the expos
ure of butter. The microscope woulC
make it apparent, however, he de-
clared
The complaint of the farmers having
been presented, they left, and th'
board took up routine business. Aftel
the meeting a member of the boarG
declared the board did not intend 4
alter the new ordinance in favor o
the farmers, and would enforce il
Several OF the farmers declared afte
the meeting that they may take thei
complaint to the courts.

HAY FEVER VICTIMS
IN A SNEEZE CHORUS

Wilmingtonians are in the throes
of hay fever, and are talking through
their hats-er-nO, no. their. noses.
Hay fever is nay fever and nothing
else Those who annually suffer from
it blame it on pollen of various kinds.
They say that the air becomes filled
with this fine pollen and that It gets
into the nostrils, sets up an irritation
and then. willy nilly. you have hay
fever. The only way 10 cure It is
either to go where there is very little
pollen suspended in the ambient or to
stay home and sneeze Il out. The
hay fever disappears with the pollen.
Physicians say there is little use try
ing to cure II around this part Of the
country and they advice their pa
tients to go away. Manyepersons who
get IL every year pick out this time
of the year for their vacations. Most
doctors urge a trip to the Michigan
peninsula. where hay fever is un-
known.

There is a possibility that in the !

river, by way of Baltimore, from

The machinery OF the great power
plant at McCalls Ferry. after years
OF work and the expenditure OF more

thought Il is not yet coupled up"
Since early spring several hundred
mechanics and electricians have been
at work equipping the power house,
a concrete structure 500 feet long, and
another large force of men has been
engaged In constructive work on the
dam where 10 spaces" had been left
open. All but one OF these. and that
is on the Lancaster county side of
the river, have now been closed
though not built to the full height
The last opening will be closed this
week.
The result is the gradual backing
up of the stream, which is felt hall
a dozen miles up the stream. When
the dam is completed a beautiful lake
ten miles long will be formed, extend
ing from the dam TO Safe Harbor The
unsightly rocks that now appear and
even a number OF islands will be sub
merged, making a navigable body OF
water for small craft.
Already a steamboat line has been
established between McCalls Ferry
and Safe Harbar, and steamboats, are
making daily trips.
