SOLUTION OF TROUBLE IN SIGHT.

A cQU1sITIoN by the city of the land of the Dia-
"A mond State Steel Company on the north side OF
the Christian river doubt would put end to the
fight between the city and the county relative to the
use Of portion Of Christana Park for an approach
to the new bridge at that point Such a purchase
would add about two and oneQuarter acres Of land to
the citys park holdings there and compensate the pub
lie for the park land taken for the bridge approach
When it first proposed that the northerly ap-
proach to the bridge should be carried dagonally
across Christana Park it exists the city quite
naturally protested the ground that it would ruin
the park. Since then many conferences have been
held with view to the protection the interests Of
the city and the county The plan now is for the city
to permit the bridge approach to the park and
to purchase for s5O0o0 the Diamond State Steel prop
erty upon which option already has been obtained
by City Council That would leave Christana Park
practically good in point of size the only
disadvantage being the marrng effect of its dissection
by the bridge approach. Such compromise plan

three minutes. Lew could swim a lit

DIR. eROssMAN TO VISIT CITY.

ITO the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNALISTS:
Since Miss Slatterly's talk at the
New Century Club on Wednesday af-
ternoon, making such a stirring plea
for the community to take up well
fare work for normal children in
the public schools, it is expected that
the community will be the more in
terested in hearing DR.. Grossman'
appeal in behalf Of our Juvenile De-
linquents. 1t has been calculated
that 75 per cent. of the children in
almost every community, at one time
or another, suffer from some form Of
abaormality, which may or may not
become a permanent defect, accord
ing as the disease is recognized in
time. DR.. CHEESEMAN'S work will be
of great value to parents and teach
ers because of the work he is doing
to correct defects in children in his
school at Watching Crest, Plain
field, n. ].
DR.. Grossman will speak under the
auspices of the Juvenile Court Asso-
citation. on the evening of April is,
az o'clock. in the auditorium Of the
Wilmington High School.

PHnADrLPHINs GREAT VICTORY.

- NE of the most gratifying features Of the work OF
~ the reserve bank organization committee under
the new Currency law Is that Philadelphia is to have
one of the reserve banks and that the city of VII
mngton and the State of Delaware to be included
in the Philadelphia district The Federal reserve
bank ia that district win have capital of S129930l5
including 500 national banks and many financial insti
tutions In fact the States and near The Atlantic
seaboard Jared exceeding well under the appor-
tonment Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Rich
mond and Atlanta are each have Of the twelve
reserve banks. Baltimore is the only large city near
the coast that is cut out. 1t operate through
Richmond. greatly to the disappointment no doubt Of
thousands Of business men who had hoped that city
would be recognized.
The great central plateau, extending from the lakes
10 the gulf also fares well, with reserve banks in
Cleveland, Chicago. Minneapolis. st. Louis, Kansas
City and Dallas. The Pacific coast must remain
tent for the time being at least with reserve
situated in San Francisco.
In point Of capital apportionment New York city
leads with $2O.6S7,613. Chicago next with Sl3,-
151,925. In third place is Philadelphia with s12,
993.013. Atlanta is lowest the list, with $7O2,7SO.
There perhaps is feature Of the apportonment
which meets With greater appreciation in the Middle
Atlantic States than the fact that Philadelphia has
won recognition the the fact that It is within
one hundred miles of New York the claims Of which
had to be recognized not only national also for
international We congratulate big neigh
Dor on the Delaware upon the good fortune that has
befaen her. It is a great victory in the beneficial
effects Of which Wilmington Will share.
From various points come objection to the appor-
tionment of the banks. Baltimore and other cities re-
sent their exclusion. That is surprising. the
cities that have sympahize with those that have

SENDING ARMIES TO SLEEP.

If a discovery by a German woman chem
list fuIiIs expectations the victors in the
battles of the future will be those armies
that manage to stay awake. She has in
vented a narcotic powder which, on explod-
ing, produces a gas that will render large
bodies of troops unconscious, Those near
the spot where the powder explodes will not
recover consciousness for eight or ten hours.
Those on the outer ring of its quarter-mile
zone of action will be SO dazed for an hour
or so as to be practically useless.
The powder will be fired from shrapnel
shells which explode in the air. II is being
tested by the Prussian War Ministry, and it
is rumoured that several other Powers IN
Guiding Britain, have tried to acquire the
invention.
Shells of this sort have been sought after
by gunnery experts for years. The only other
war secret of the sort in actual use is the
smoke shell adopted last year by Japan.
