MOORE URGES
WIDER CHANNEL
Pennsylvania Congressman
Wants Improvements Made
In River Bends

WASHINGTON, d. C.. Jan Ia
with a view TO procuring some i'm
provement in the Delaware river
through the rivers and harbors bill TO
be passed at this session OF Congress,
Representative Moore has started a
movement for an appropriation to
widen the present channel 20 100G 70
az bends and other dangerous p4 U
He has begun working onf -
because he has ascertaineC ~
survey estimate of cost OF tn
posed thirty-fve foot channel will H>
be presented 10 Congress by the Board'
of Engineers I'm time to obtain con-
sideration at this session.
Mr. Moores information, obtained
from the chief OF engineers, Is that the
survey report is not yet ready and will
not be for some time. 1t will then be
considered by the Board Of Engineers
for recommendation by that body, and
therefore may not be submitted until
late in the spring.
Delegation to Act.
In the meantime the rivers and har-
bors committee is going ahead with the
preparation OF bin from which the
Delaware river will be excluded un-
less prompt action by the Pennsyivania
delegation is taken. With this in
view Mr.. Moore had a conference with
Representatives FoullSrod and Bing-
ham. and enlisted their cooperation
In the work he has begun. The mat
ter win further be considered at a
meeting OF the whole Pennsylvania del
egation tomorrow. and will probably
be indorsed by the whole membership.
Mr.. Moore has already obtained a.
surances from Chairman Alexander, Of
the rivers and harbors committee. that
the representatives of the Delaware
project will have ample hearings be-
| fore the committee. and the prospect
for an appropriation is regarded as
very favorable. How much money viii
be asked for has not yet been deter
mined.
It is MT Moore's opinion that sur
hcient money should be appropriated
at this time to widen the channels at
all curves and at all other dangerous
points 80 that such accidents as oc-
Cured 10 the cruiser Prairie. the bat
tleship Idaho and to several CONNER
ciai vessels will be made improbable
He thinks too. that authorization for
the eventual widening OF the entire
channel to 1000 fee can be obtsined-
This WIN be preliminary TO the deep
ening OF the channel, but wall all be
part OF the same project.

SINKS in RIVER

Loaded with clay from the Warning
ton pits and bound for Philadelphia.
the schooner Rambo is sunk at the
jetty at the mouth of Broadkiu river.
The ship has seen considerable SER
vice and WIN have to be abandoned.
Captain Francis Carey. who had
charge OF the vessel. reached the mouth
Of the river and not caring to venture
out in the present weather, made the
schooner fast and with his crew re-
turned to their homes In the night
the vessel broke loose, swung across
the river, and when the tide fell. set
tied on the bar that has formed in
side the jetty. AS the tide fell the
schooner was strained so badly that
she filed and failed to rise with the
tide.
Her cargo OF clay will be saved.

FLOWERS GET NAMES
IN INTERESTING WAY

Il is interesting TO know how certain
flowers get their names. Many were
named after individuals For instance:
Fuchsias were called so because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named after Andre Dahl;
who brought them from Peru. The
camelia was so called for a missionary
named kamel. who brought some mag
nihcent specimens of the flower to
France from Japan. He called it the
rose OF Japan, but his friends changed
It to camelia. Magnolias were named
in honor of Prof Magnol de Montpelier.
who first brought the beautiful tree 10
France from America and Asia. Be
cause they trembled with the wind is
the meaning Of anemones. The Latin
word to wash is lavare. and lavender
received its name because the Romans
put the flowers into water when they
wished to perfume their hands.

Of setting jewels and the character OF
jewelry from America have long earn
ed such high praise everywhere for
lightness and grace and artistic beauty
that one cannot welcome change that
is SO foreign TO our tastes. IL Is to
hoped that in spite of fashions abroad
We shall live up TO what is really
beautiful and cling to our own good
tastes. The craze for large precious
stones is accountable for these heavy
settings. which Il must be confessed are
appropriate True beauty has 20 be

USEFULNESS LIES

Usefulness Of any man or woman lies
principally in the willingness back Of

AS a rule, il will be found that the
most useless persons in the world are
those who are waiting for something
TO turn up. And by the same sign
il is fact that the most useful per-
sons are those who have taken up the
first thing that came 20 hand and done

Street Car Smoking.

Editor The Washington Herald
The crusade against the practice 6f
smoking In the street cars is evidently
bearing a desirable frultage in the dimin-
ished number of cases occurring at the
present time. The casual observer can
not fail 20 notice the diminished number
Of people who carry lighted cigars into
the street cars.
Reformation is the result Of a gradual
and continuous growth in the effort to
overcome error or erroneous conditions.
There is 10 man so duh that he does
not recognize a good thing when he sees
it. and recognizes its benefit TO others as
well as TO himself.
II smoking in the street cars was the
proper thing to do, the street car com
psny would not place its warning notices
of prohibition in its cars. The street car
company evidently desires that its pa
irons shall be immune from the irritable
conditions which obtain In forced recog-
milton of any smoker who is reckless
enough to disregard the properties Of the
best regulated drawing room.
If il is a question Of personal liberty.
the smoker should remember there are
others whose personal liberty rebels
against the invasion of his uucalled-for
nuisance. No man is entitled to per-
sonal privilege that brings disaster 20 his
neishbor. either in a street car or on the
highway
The eulOgies of nature and OF art that
come to as in the acts of the people for
better conditions are voluntary records
coming 10 the front In everyday life.
The gigantic strides of progress every
where discernable cannot be rated as a
matter Of gUesswork and uncertainty.
II is the natural law of cause and
effect.
Must we win back the love Of the an
tiquated record that would make bar
room conditions in a street carr Shall
we reproduce and replace the plan .of
the corner grocery smokehouse for the
finer properties Of street car civilization
Nay verify.
While we are living in an age that has
electrified the world with its giant prog
ress. its humorous side in the District of
Columbia. In the effort to abolish smok-
ing In the street cars, has not met with
the prompt recognition that our reputa-
ton for propriety demands or deserves
al our hands. \ recognition OF earned
conditions. which are grudgingly yielded,
is not in keeping with the high standard
Of our reputation. which parallels our
glorious record
