and intellect are now looking for op.
portunities to step aside from these
pent.up conditions, where the chances
of success do not depend entirely upon
skill and experience in the conduct of
business transactions, but promise
something more than the direct results
of hard work and close attention to the
various lines of business.
Until recent years mining in all its
branches was considered a hazardous
undertaking, but now it presents a diff.
ferent view.
Science and scientific methods have
to great extent, removed the chance

resolution as adopted follows
Whereas, Foodstuffs and almost all
other things necessary to comfort and
existence Of people in the ordinary
walks of life are daily increasing in
price, while employment in almost all
branches is becoming more hard to
find. due to circumstances and con-
ditions beyond the control Of those

these conditions; and
Whereas, With the winter season
almost upon us, some means must be
devised to provide coal, particularly
for those who are already so heavily
handicapped by the excessive prices
of foodstuffs and by the scarcity of
employment; and
Whereas, The operation of a mu-
nicipal coal yard by the City Council
on strictly non-partisan business
basis where coal could be sold In
limited quantities at actual cost would
afford considerable relief TO those now
so heavily burdened: therefore be it
Resolved, That the president he au-
thorized and directed to appoint a
committee of four members, two from
each side, to investigate the feasibility
of such a coal yard; and be it further

MUNICIPAL WHARF
FOR CITY ASSURED
Will Go Up at End Of Third
Street for Benefit of
Jersey Traders
FINISH THE WORK
WITHIN A YEAR

Members OF City Council last night
unanimously voted that il was the sense
of City Council that the Board Of Park
Commissioners proceed at once 10 re-
pair the old wharf along the Christiana
river. bounding the old Diamond State
Steel Company property, in order that
IL may be made into a municipal wharf
where oystermen, fishermen and truck
ers may land IL was their opinion
that the large supply Of edibles that
would be brought into the city in this
manner would considerably lower the
high cost of living Il was mentioned
by Councilman Stover that when the
wharf is finished it would be good
plan for the Chamber of Commerce 10
60 over into New Jersey and invite the
farmers TO bring their produce to this
city.
The matter was brought before the
city body by Samuel II. Baynard,
member of the Park Board. who stated
that the Park Board had recognized the
advantages of having the wharf repair
ed, and had authorized City Engineer
Taylor to examine the wharf and esti-
mate the cost of the repairs Engineer
Taylor explained to Council the result
Of mis- investigation, stating that he be-
lievCd it would be better 10 erect
wooden wharf than n concrete one. as
the latter would he very expensive and
consume much time, while a wooden
wharf would last for fifteen OF twenty
years lie stated that the repairs
would cost about $1,000.
Councilmen Kane Slower and Dra-
per spoke in favor of the wharf point
ing out the advantages to be derived
by the revenue the city would derive
from the wharf and the advantages
the citizens would get in being able
TO purchase Jersey products and
oysters direct from the producers.
Mr. Baynard remarked that speedy
action was necessary. as the people OF
/ that section desired TO use the Third
street park next year. and the wharf
would have to be completed first.
Councilman Kane then made the mo-
ton that It was the sense of Council
that the park board proceed at once

mously prevailed.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-As an instance

near London who thinks Cen Sir

the English are forced, like the Ger
mans, to recruit from boys under II
or Is, Gen. Sir John French knows
where he can find as gallant a COM
pany of loyal British youths as ever
fought for their King. Here's the
story:
AS an elderly, gray-haired gentle
man stood waiting for a tram near
Westminster Bridge some weeks ago.
there suddenly swept into view a
rather none descript company of ten
or twelve youngsters-members of
the Boy Scouts. The little company,
to the monotonous beat of oil-can
drums, and led by a very freckled.

up in double file column on tho pave

watched the evolution, smiled. The
/ freckled leader blushed furiously

! gray-haired gentleman in the eye
said who the - are you laugh

himself up stiffly, and apologized

looking directly at the gray-haired
gentleman. "Well, If you want e

country. It amt much, but may
arst when you did yours last?"
The smile completely disappeared
from the gray-haired gentleman's
face, as a workman, nearby, leaned
to the Boy Scout leader and whisper
ed something in that young gentle
mans ear The boy gulped. fell bacl
mOmentarily. and then, pulling him
self together. stepped TO the front o.
his youthful command. He gave ;
shrill order. Every right hand jerk

remained there.
