ENHANCES PROPERTY.
Jacob Campbell, another we'll
known farmer who lives along the
DUPONT road between Frankford and
Selbyville, said. when your cores
pondent met him driving home from
Frankford in mule cart along one vi
those abominable, so-called roads for
which this section Of Sussex county is
noted:
Il am in favor of the immediate
completion Of the dupont road he
cause of the immense benefit that IL
VIII be to the State and its people,
myself among the rest That il
means the enhancement Of every
mans property through or near
which Il passes is shown by my own
experience. Some time ago a man
came TO me and wanted to purchase a
piece Of land off the back end OF my
farm, just as soon as he learned OF
the final route Of the boulevard; now
that work of construction has stopped
he no longer wants the land. which
proves beyond a doubt that the road
clone is what makes that land valu-
Bile 10 him. II It increases the value
of a part OF my land, it surely III
creases it all equally, and the same
thing Of course applies to every prom
erty owner along or near the line Of
the road.
Il am sure the road will be Of great
benefit to the farmer and fruit grow
er because he will have a decent road
over which to transport his produce,
and it VIII cost less for hauling, he
can haul larger loads than at present,
and in half the time. all of which are
of prime importance to tho farmer, es-
pecially in berry season."

KHAKI CLOTH SUPERIOR.
Olive Drab Uniforms for Soldiers
Held Not So Good in Tropics.

Khaki cloth is much superior to Olive
drab material Of any weight in tropical
regions. At least that is the conclusion
of any army medical board, which has
made tests in the Philippines. The
board in its investigations discovered that
garments and headgear of olive-drab ma
terial when worn by a perosn directly
exposed to the suns rays entailed a
much greater burden Of heat than did
similar articles made Of khaki-colored
material
One point in favor of the lighter olive
drab cloth was that its thinness favored
ventilation and evaporation when there
was q strong breeze. However, the army
officers recommended that IL any change
IL made from khaki for tropical use 1t
should be in the direction OF q lighter.
rather than a darker shade.
