low citizens who differ with them in
their habits and customs
Mr.. Kurtz said that God spoke to the
club members through the beautiful
green sward which spread itself like a
green carpet under their feet; through
the songs of the birds which sang
above their heads; through the ma
jesty of the river which flowed in front
Of them, and that if they but listened
to the voice which thus spoke to them.
they would be rested in body and
spirit to begin the new weeks work
with a spirit of contented happiness
which would make their spirits fully
appreciate, and their voices be raised
in song to say, this is indeed the day
of the Lord.
The members in quartette and
chorus singing assisted in the enter
tainment during the remainder of the
Afternoon. There also was instrumental
music on the large porches. About 1900
persons were present during the day.

bors at the convention Of the State

Literature relative to the subject
Of rivers and harbors has been dis
tributed over the whole State gem
orally and lectures have been given in
the clubs to which the public was in-
vited; especial mention should be
given Professor Charles A. McCue, of
Delaware College, as he prepared a
lecture especially for the committee
on this subject, and delivered 1t in
several clubs.
Your chairman represented this
committee at the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress at Washington IN
December last, where much interest
and a great deal Of enthusiasm was
shown on this and allied subjects per-
tanning thereto.
As this is new committee in the
Federation of Womens Clubs. and the
work is new TO the women OF Della
ware, the energies devoted TO the sub
1ect have been In creating a healthy
public sentiment In the work to be
accomplished here and hence has been
largely educational in it's purposes.
Forestry and waterways are so
closely connected, / would respect-
fully recomend that the two commits
tees be made a joint committee and
the work be along the line Of con-
servation, for under the subject is in
cluded; drainage. waterpower, navl-
cation, transportation. health and
sanitation, including that of potable
waters.
When II Is remembered, that there
Is more than six times as much com
merce on the Delaware river and bay.
than on the whole of the Mississippi
river and all of its tributaries COM
bined, excluding that Of the Ohio
river only; and of the completion Of
the proposed great ship canal con-
Meeting the waters Of the Delaware
and Chesapeake bays, and the com
pletion of the unfinished canal con-
Meeting Rehoboth bay with that OF
the Delaware bay, for the purposes of
national defence and the possibility
Of vastly increasing commerce and
our own local trade. the subject as
sumes an Importance that is pregnant
swith great results and possibilities in
the enhancement Of the moral ana
material welfare of the people Of
Delaware.
"The subject is broad and far reach
ing and Of direct Importance to each
one Of us, both as individuals and as
members Of our respective commune
ties.
The future work Of this joint COM
mittee can be made of potential force.
II we can in any way coordinate our
work and act with patriotism with
the national and State movement in
this subject"

MELVIN VAN|MAN
 INTERESTS CROWDS

Atlantic City. November 5.-Melvin Van imam and his airship were special sub jects of interest to the crowds today. Yesterdays mishap. he says, was due to air escaping from one of the eompart- ments of the gas bag known as a bal loonette, and making it's way into the hydrogen gas compartment, which caused an uneven distribution of gas and air.
 For while the stern was many feet higher than the bow. Sand bags were hurriedly shifted and Vaniman accident ally dropped one on the water cooling pipe attached to the radiator of the main engine. This necessitated the stopping of the engine and a quick landing had to be made.
 Vaniman then steered for body of water and when the balloon struck the bow was submerged in 90 feet of water while the stern, supported by the gas, was 50 feet in the air. The men on board were rescued by the crew of a dredge.
 Naninan estimates that he reached an altitude of from 3000 to $500 feet.
 Tomorrow he will begin to defiate the balloon and repair the damage to the interior compartments. He hopes the Akron will be ready for further trial trips in two weeks.

MORE DECISIONS
 ARE EXPECTED Supreme Court Will PrOba- bly, Decide Colorado
 Case Today

Washington, November 5-More deci-
 sions by the supreme court of the United
 States in regard to the extent of the
 application of the federal safety appliance
 laws are looked for tomorrow.
 When the court took under consider ation the Alabama safety appliance case" in which it decreed last Mon day that the safety appliance laws ex- tend to all carriers and locomotives on any railroad that was a highway for in- terstate commerce, 1t also began delib- eration fthe so called Colorado safety appliance case. Many have expressed the
 be forthcoming shortly probably tomor-
 row.
 The decision in the Colorado case is expected to turn on the decision of in terstate conmerce'' within the meaning of the safety appliance laws. The gov | ernment is seeking to enforce the law
 on the Colorado and Northwestern Rail-
 way company, a narrow gauge line en- tirely within the borders of Boulder coun- ty, Colorado. It is attempting to apply
 the law in the case of a shipment which went on WdyDill Hrsl iioHl oindhd to Boulder, Col, and subsequently,, after new waybill was issued, to another point in Colorado.
 The government claims. among other | things, that unlike laws relating to in- terstate roads, there Is no restriction on
 interstate commerce to which the safety appliance laws apply. It is urged that in the interstate rate laws, the acts were
 restricted to interstate commerce nov ing in continuous passage while the safety appliance acts apply to interstate shipments that are not in a continuous passage"
 The railroad contends that interstate commerce is the same under the rate | laws as under the safety appliance acts and that the interpretation of what Is 1 interstate commerce" already given in the rate cases must be given in the safety l appliance cases

 planning to erect buildings for small to medium sized high schools. an, under lasting obligations to those arch !. itects and school officers who have . kindly assisted by furnishing plans ana photographs.
 it has not been possible to repro- duce all that have been offered. uofn on account of the nurnDer and on ac count of the great lapor of malkin e | tracings from the blu- prints to mept the demands of the printer. Many de-
 serving plans and elevations put at my. disposal must therefore of necessity ha left out, but I indulge the hope that those which are reprouuced will give
