life followed a series of wind and rain
storms the last week in August in the

storm interfered with the early oper-
ations of the Japanese against the
German Notifications at Kio Chow
The report said:
considerable damage was done
to property in the vicinity Of Chefoo

drowning and the collapse of their
mud-walled houses. A large loss of

aspect of the matter, however, is the
enormous loss Of crops all through the

have been ruined. More fortunately
located crops have Jared little better

WORK ON THE
Delaware river
Complaints Anent Dredging
Discounted By Engineers
of the Government

Representative J. Hampton Moore con-
ferred with War Department officials
with reference to dredging OF the Del
aware river and learned that the work
on the 35-ioot channel was progressing
as well as could be expected A report
from Colonel Zinn, in charge Of the Phil
adelphia district, dealing with the meth
cd Of dredging was discussed.
"lhcre has been some complaint, A."
said MI. Moore, "that much OF the
drcdged material finds its way back into
the channel and aids in the formation OF
bars. Colonel Zinn's report, however, in
dicatcs that the same methods are being
pursued that have been used since the
81 foot project commenced and that they
are the best and most economical meth
ods known. II appears that the actual
cost OF dredging has been reduced 20 be
tween one and two cents per cubic yard,
and that the methods have been studied
and adopted elsewhere, as for instance,
on tho Savannah river"
Mr. Moore said that Chief Of Engi
noers kingman holds that the Delaware
river dredging is being done in man
ner which promises effective results
quicker than any other method known
considering the length and character OF
the river II is pointed out that it would
be practically impossible to complete the
80 foot channel In lifetime If the
drcdgcd material from in front OF Phil.
adclphia, for instance, had to be carried
80 miles 70 deep water. On the other
hand, il is declared by engineers that
the deposits of material in low places
along the river banks retain all the solid
matter and permit the escape only Of
such material as can be cnrricd of by
the tides. II is further contended that
most Of the sitting up Of the river is
due to the action Of the tides in dis
lodging solid material along the banks

$4,000 Calls Made Daily
Over Diamond State Line,
Local Manager Says
5000 WORKING
LINES IN EXCHANGE

The importance of the telephone In
the business, industrial and social
life of Wilmington is shown by fig
ures furnished by e. p. Bardo, divi-
sion manager of the Diamond State
Telephone Company. According to
Mr.. Bardos report the Wilmington
exchange is handling $4,000 calls
every twenty-four hours, which is a
large in crease over the number re-
ceived Ave years ago.
Charts kept at the exchange show the
busiest hour usually is between II and
II a. m, when the average number of
connections is $500. The number of local
daylight hours is POS. which means that
but four seconds elapse between the
time the user of the Diamond state
telephone takes down the receiver and
the operator asks the desired number.
Wilmington rapidly is becoming one
of the most important telephone centers
of the east" Manager Bardo declared
"and following the policy of the com
pauy We are working to anticipate the
needs of the people in a telephone way
Some idea of the amount Of business
handled at the Wilmington exchange
may be gathered when it is known that
we have 5000 working lines entering
the building
Business and professional mer
here are liberal users of the long dis
tance lines and an average OF 800
calls a day, or $1,000 a month are be
ing sent out from the exchange. i
is estimated that mileage covered by
these calls is nearly $4,000 daily ol
more than three times the distance
around the earth. The Diamond STATE
Telephone Company has perfected th'
most efficient long distance systemi
East and reaches not only al
of the larger cities. but hundreds o
small towns and villages as well.

brought forth a storm of protests
from residents who do not want the

The task of the committee has been
most difficult for that reason.
