SUGGEST CHANGES
FOR BOAT RULES
Method Of Horsepower Meas
urement and Amount Of
Ballast Need Revision

Important changes to racing rules
are TO be suggested to the American
Powerboat Association on October 3,
when the council OF the association
meets in New York to receive such
suggestions. The changes desired by
the racing interests on the Delaware
river we're discussed at a meeting Of
the Delaware River Yacht Racing AS
socistion held at the Yachtmen's
club, Philadelphia last evening.
The two most important changes
TO be asked for by the local sectioh
relate TO the method OF measurement
20 determine horsepower. and the de-
fining Of the amount and character
Of ballast TO he allowed TO be carried
by cruisers when racing.
In the matter of the engine rating
the present method Is TO base the
calculation on diameter Of cylinder.
and not taking into consideration the
length OF piston travel when above
a six-inch stroke. The result has
been the introduction of engines hav-
ing long stroke. which racing men
declare operates to the disadvantage
Of the short-stroke engine in the
older beats Suggestions advanced
last evening call for changes which
viii require the consideration OF cyl
inder capacity and piston travel.
The matter Of over-ballasting re-
suited from one or two boats racing
this season taking on extra ballast
/ for the announced purpose Of eecur.
ing lower rating and thereby greater
time allowances. This. Il Is declared
has been overdone and require more
stringent rules. Il was announced
last evening that suggestions to meei
this contingency we're now being pre-
pared.

FAVOR new
METHOD OF
COLLECTION
Doctors Appreciate Difficulties
Of Present City Garbage
System
MANY COMPLAINTS ARE
UNFOUNDED THE STATEMENT

Members Of the New Castle County
Medical Society at a meeting last
evening heard an interesting paper by
Dr. Il. w. Briggs, OF the Board Of
Health ON the subject of garbage col
lections. At the close of the meeting
the following resolution was adop-
ted.
BE it Resolved, That the New
Castle County Medical Society fully
appreciating the difficulties of the
present system of collecting garbage,
endorses the efforts Of the Board Of
Health in introducing a satisfactory
system
In bringing the matter before the
physicians present Dr. Briggs said
that as long as the present system Of
collection is in use the same trouble
would be experienced. He outlined
the history of the present system Of
collections, dating from 1906. While
there was more agitation, this year
over the collection. the doctor said
that forty per cent. more garbage was
being handled.
Il was likewise asserted by DR..
Briggs that many Of the complaints
received were found TO be fakes In
one district from which forty COM
plants we're received only ten we're
found to be we'll founded, knl five
were from houses that did bnot ex-
list.
DR.. Briggs then explained the in
spection made recently Of the system
in vogue in Trenton, n. j. This sys-
TEN compels the draining and wrap
ping Of garbage and has made ia
yorable impression on all who have
witnessed the collections, as we'll as
the disposing of the same. DR.. Briggs
then answered all questions put be-
fore him.
DR.. Albert Robin inquired whether
the present law did not specify PEN
ilization for non-collection by the
collectors. DR.. Briggs stated that II
did that the Board Of Health was
authorized to collect the garbage af-
ter lapse of six hours from the time
of complaint and that so cents could
be deducted. but he said after the
board once received a complaint il
rarely heard from the complainant
again. The householders are to
blame he said, for not letting the de-
lpartment know after the lapse OF six
hours, as the officials have no way oi
telling whether it has been collected
or not. Once in while we get thu
second COMPLAINT" he said. Othel
physicians present asked various
questions. all Of which Or. Briggs
answered TO their satisfaction. aftel
which the resolution was drafted ant
adopted
Dr. Hiram r. Burton. former con
lgressman, was a visitor at the meet
ling. and when called upon TO make {;
few remarks stated that he was glaC
TO be present and that he had learned
considerable regarding the collection
lof garbage which would benefit very
much the town where he resides.

Warm And Wet.

This locality has experienced
much warm and wet weather
lately. Boys going barefooted
the first of Dedember and the
ground thoroughly soaked with
water.
Many farmers say the ground
is soaked better than it has been
since the dry seasons set in, in
1910. While this is not crop
growing period. it may seem
that the rain is not necessary at
this time. but the fuller of wa
ter the ground gets now the
longer it will be in drying out
next summer.
Farmers should get the
ground in good shape during the
winter months to resist the
drouth next summer. Some
farmers near Elgin break theil
ground from IL to Is inches deeI
when the ground is moist ane
raise corn every year. Ask G
w. Lipsett about it.
We believe the farmers a
round Elgin cannot do bette
than to stay where they are
One man who has his farm listet
for sale raised the price $500 OF
his 80 acres after he had looked
around in other places.
Farm to hold the moisture ant
don't forget to put UP a sill

At the first quarterly meet
ing held recently the question of
paramount issue was whether
the Elgin or the Beaver Bend
Methodist churches should have
the resident pastor and be the
head of the circuit.
Beaver Bend made a strong
pull to have the pastor located
there. They have a parsonage
standing vacant and offered to
give $500 cash yearly and the
parsonage besides if he would
locate there.
They stated that they could
raise $500 easier with the pastor
living there than 5000 without.
And further stated that a mer.
chant living near there paid $2S
per year when they had the
pastor and did not pay anything
without him.
During the past conference
year there was some complaint
in Elgin because the pastor die
rot live here and spend hi:
money here with the merchants
A request was then sent in fol
resident pastor and one was
sent.
AS a result the amount to bt
p..id by Elgin has been increased
from 500 to SITS per year. II
Elgin does not pay her part eacf
quarter the pastor NAV move tt
the Beaver Bend parsonage
The church members do not fee
like they can afford to pay thu
$75 increase to hold him unles.
they get considerable help from
those merchants who are no
members of some other church
The pastor gets 5000 cash from
the circuit, and 500 missionar,
money, most Of which will b,
spent in Elgin for groceries, dr.,
