PEOPLES COLUMN

SUGGESTS S0UTHERLY ROUTE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-Apropos of the Titanic horror,
would it not be most humane
achievement if the navigators of the
transatlantic liners were compelled
by an international commission to
follow more southerly route be-
tween the United States and Europe,
instead of running up into the perpet-
ual fogs and floating icebergs off the
coast of Newfoundland?
It seems both idiotic' and criminal
to have steamships crowded with HUI
manity and provided with life saving
equipment for less than one half the
number of people carried. and COM
manded by careless officers. navigat-
ing a course that is continually beset
with such dangers.
Doubtless a few hours time is
saved by this route. but al what ter
rible loss Of life and property. There
should be more space on these float.
ing palaces for life boats and less
for luxurious cabins. There also
should be more careful navigation
and, If necessary. less speed

notes have become entirely common IN all hnan-

WAYFARER'S NOTE BOOK

it's ravages has been followed by
the issuance of official bulletins con-
tanning many hints to farmers and
others for their guidance in dealing
with the pest. Poisons, deadfalls
and the building of nesting houses
so arranged that the eggs may be
destroyed as fast as they are laid, all
figure in the official hints And yet
the English sparrow continues to
prosper and to multiply with the GER
tainty. if not with the prolificacy, of
the housefy.
There are many counts in the in
dictment condemning the English
sparrow to death. Among them are
that it eats much food that is placed
for chickens, drives away song birds,
carries San Jose scale and other
nests. consumes much grain in the
fields. slashes .ousands of lunches
of ripe OF ripening grapes with its
short and stout bill. and in those and
other ways does damage aggregating
millions of dollars annually. Those
who have studied the habits OF the
English sparrow say that it will eat
almost as much as a young chicken
and give nothing in return. Mill
lions are killed every year, and mill
lions more are hatched to take their
places. The cities. towns, villages and
farms in our State are filled with
them and wherever they are they are
voted a nuisance. Like the mongoose.
the English sparrow is admittedly
worse than the evils it was mistakenly
! introduced to cure.

, Waterways Association, that has done much for
and harbor improvements, has issued bulletin in
which he expresses regret that provision for purchase
by tho Federal Government of the Chesapeake and Del
Canal not contained in the Rivers and Har-
bors bill passed recently by the House of Representa-
tves. He refers the effort that is being made by
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania, and others to OBJ
tain in the Senate amendment looking to the pur-
chase OF the canal and adds: 1T was hoped that
in addition to the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal
provision, that of the Dismal Swamp, had il been
preferred between the two canals south of Nor
folk, might also have gotten in the bill the very
important link between the Chesapeake and the Del

the Chesapeake and Delaware proposition. but the com

through your paper. in regard to the
Coleman dupont Boulevard, which
r. c. dupont has offered so generous

In my opinion. those who object to
this proposition going through are
people who do not want to see our
State progress, but stay where it is
hundred. years or more behind the
times in the matter e. good roads. And
if the road should be built. and the
writer devoutly prays that it may, It
would be sure to benefit not only
those that il passes. but the State
as a whole. We really haven't a de-
cent road in the State. That is keep

William A. Holt, King street
butcher. who lives in No. lily West
Sixth street. is an amateur foricul-
turist, who delights in testing on his
lawn and flower beds the relative
merits of various grades Of fertii-
izer. When he went home Wednesday
afternoon a bag Of high-priced phos-
phate awaited him. He spread II over
the flower beds and lawn with such
an abandon that it caused his neigh
bors to hold their noses and wonder
whether there had been an explosion
in a glue factory or Barren Island had
broken from its moorings in Jamaica
Bay and drifted into Wilmington
harbor.
Il guess that will make things
grow" Holt said when he had COM
pleted his work and the atmosphere
had cleared sufficiently to enable him
to talk to himself Then. the Wayfar-
er is informed, he entered the house,
had his supper and in due time went
to bed When he arose next morning
he looked out and was dumbfounded

geous blossoms and a cedar tree COW
cred with snowballs and glistening
Christmas balls of prodigious size.
Gee, that phosphate beats any

clawed his way into his clothes and
rushed out to view the Horticultural
phenomena at short range.
Close scrutiny disclosed that in the
night neighbors had taken paper iiow-
crs and planted them in all the beds
and. having more snowballs anC
Christmas balls than they knew what
to do with, had tied them to the cedar
tree.
"Who did that?" Holt inquired in a
tone that made his words audible hall
block away.
There was no response. His neigh
bors still are maintaining a discreet
