RoDs Ann THEIR MAINTENANCE.

WYE have contended from the outset OF good road
w building in this State that It is waste OF pub
lie funds build good roads and then to fail TO make
adequate appropriations for their proper maintenance
In that connection desire to call the attention OF
the Delaware public TO statement just made by Logan
Waller Page. Director of the United States once Oh
Public Roads and president of the American highway
Association He says that the problem Of maintenance
overtops all other road problems In its importance
Point is made by him that the destructive agencies OF
traffic and the elements unceasng in their activ
tiles and it Is idle to talk of permanent roads any
mo,e than to speak of a house, fence, or railroad
tie permanent. The public roads today by reason
of the excep ionay destructive traffic conditions are
more costly in construction and this is continually IN
creasing with the in the prices of labor and
material II is crminally wasteful therefore, to in
vest large sums Of public money in building the high
ways demanded by traffic, unless the investment be
conserved by adequate maintenance. Without such
proper maintenance road costing anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile may go to ruin in year
or two thus involving permanent loss of considera-
bic magnitude.
When It is considered he says, that the aggregate
expenditure en- roads the United States is well over
5000 100000 annraly the seriousness OF The question
is apparent He looks TO the conferenc" of highway
officials. which Will be held during the Fourth Amer
can Road Congress, which meets in Atlanta Ca on
November 8. to devote much attention TO roaG main-
1 tenance and says the accumulatve moral effect Of
their findings will go far 'owards bringing legislatures
and county boards to realization of the necessity Tor
prompt and efficient action. The roads should be
classified and suitable maintenance, in organization
: and money provided according to the Importance Of
/ the representative classes of roads.
one of the questions which the Congress will discuss
/ is that relating to the revision Of State laws.
| A complete compilation OF the road laws of all the
States will be available the session devoted to leg
slaton and it IS expected that in outlining bases
for revision maintenance will be given particular at
tention.
Those who clamoring in Delaware for good roaus
should be equally camorous for their maintenance II
g. manifestly wrong to buid a good road under lib
eral constructive policy and then 10 permit it to go
TO wreck under a niggardy maintenance policy.

SMOKING ROOM
NOW FOR THE MEN

With the work of remodelling the
New-Century Club building on Della
ware avenue practically complete,
members of the club have announced
themselves as more than pleased with
the atmosphere of general attractive
ness and daintiness which the inter-
ior of the building now presents.
Besides an addition which will al
low a floor space Of 500 feet, the en-
tire building has been in the hands of
the decorators and architects for
some time and many splendid i'm
provements have been made. Among
them is kitchen in the basement
which is up-to-date in every par
ticular, a smoking room downstairs
for the men, an elevator and an en-
tirely new arrangement of heating
and ventilating facilities which, un-
like many Of the latter conveniences,
do not detract from the attractiveness
of the interior view.
The walls are done in KEYSTONE, /
new paint. and are done in beautiful
shades that vary from Colonial but

pure white while the mahogany iinlsl

As is customary, most of the socia
affairs to be given this winter will tax
place in the drawing room of the cln
building. the first and possibly the mos
important to take place there being th
bachelors ball, on the Wednesday nigh
before Thanksgiving. Other functions
such as dances, musicales concerts an
the dansants will also undoubtedly b
held here when the full social season

RESULTS FOR THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CANVASS

THIS will probably long be remembered as great
i week in the history Of the Chamber OF Commerce
and the city of Wilmington.
Tuesday about fifty of the representative professional
and business men of every kind in the city assembled
at 93O a. M and for minutes conferred as to
their personal parts in the campaign for the build
ing Of the city through expansion Of the membership
OF the chamber. Then they and others also took
precious hours of their valuable time and pressing
duties TO serve personally in this worthy At
noon they and their teams of workers together
at luncheon and reported results This program
followed yesterday and today The results have been
very gratifying
Not the least valuable result achieved the
inspiring effect on the workers themselves The work
aroused enlarged and empowered hem Obtaining
new members the chamber if chose to put IL
this way. selling memberships in this organization,
appeals 10 . mans pride and self-respect as asking
men to contribute money outright to the chamber can
never do. Whoever asked TO become member,
appreciated fact that he not merely asked to
give money. but was offered opportunity to obtain
a valuable privilege and become an active worker for
the welfare OF the entire community.
The enterprise that is now in hand is work for the
benefit Of all Wilmington and the State of Delaware.
Membership in the organization through which this
work Is to be consummated Is advantage TO every
interest and individual All professional classes and
every business firm should be represented in the
chamber through having members in it from each and
all.
Just how the workers are enjoying the campaign
is shown by remarks made by several Of them. A prom
inent professional man said.
Il consider it a liberal education in human nature
for a to engage in such work. for nothing in the
past has given insight into the sorts and condi-
tions OF people who compose our community"
professional said
Il have always felt that such movements received a
triple reward-one to the community which benefits as
whole one to the citizen, who enlarges his outlook
on life by his personal identification with the move

CONSUMERS LEAGUE
AID FOR THE NEEDY
Three Boys Given Scholar
ships" That They May
Help Support Homes
NEED FUNDS FOR
THE WORTHY CAUSE

The Consumers League is granting
three scholarships" this year to
boys who are under the legal working
age of IA but who had applied for
special permits to work. The child
labor law states that in case OF
dire need, the inspector may grant
a special permit after he has submit
ted the case to the judge of the Juv-
emile Court and the Agent for the
Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and has received their
approval.
Many such applications have been
refused when there proved on inves-
tigation to be no need to rob the boy
or girl OF a last year of schooling
and play. In three cases. however,
where careful investigation proved
/ that the family resources were made
/ quate for even bare existence, the
/ amount that the boy could earn each
week is offered by the Consumers
League to the family on condition
that the boy go to public school and
do good work there. The league feels
that this is not charity to these fam
lilies but a form OF self help in giving
the boy chance TO fit himself better
both mentally and physically for his
wage earning life which must begin
all too soon
In one family the mother is
, widow with seven children: the cid
est is married and unable to help the
I family The next daughter is the
, sole support OF the family and her
wages are only SO to S4 a week now
on account of the slack times at the
factory where she works, The boy Of
13 naturally wanted TO help, but the
/. mother is pleased and grateful TO
g have him in school and at the same
time to have the money coming in.
In another family the father is in
:, curably i'll; he is being cared fer, but
the mother is struggling to get work
2, to keep a home for her three boys,
- In the third family slack times have
reduced the fathers wages to the
3 point where there is not enough to
support him. his wife and seven
?, children. Instead of putting the
Z eldest-a boy Of 1S--to work as an err
rand boy, they are glad to have him
q back in school on a scholarship.
There are doubtless other cases as
l. needy and deserving and the league
would be glad of any contributions
'V toward this fund that would enable
them to extend the work. Contribu
tions will be received at the Office, No

This case arises through the dis

animals were unbranded at that
time and recently were found on
Pinos creek bearing Meals brand.
Upon this discovery Mr.. Merideth

that he claims that these calves

tanned results.
Mr.. Cooley's successor is E. Fl.

who has had two years experience
in agricultural work in the valley.
He has been in charge of expert
mental work in the San Accacio
district and is highly recommended
as competent man to take the po-
sition of valley agriculturist.
The position'of valley agricul-
turist has been demonstrated as
helpful to the farmers, but it in
cludes too much territory to be
most effectively covered by one
man. The district embraces FIVE
counties and the agriculturist
should be provided with an as
