TO DEEPEN THE SUEZ CANAL
Plans for Egyptian Waterway Con- template Uniform Depth of
 Thirty-Nine Feet.

When the Suez canal was originally made, for great part of it's 100 weary miles nothing but a mere furrow cut through sandy desert, it had a depth or eight meters, or 26 English feet At various periods it has been deepened, until it reached it's present depth of 32 feet Operations ara now in progress with a view of making it uniformly 39 feet deep, a process which, with other great works of improvement also go ing On, will involve very large ex. penditure. In one respect the Suez canal has fortuitous advantage over other great artificial waterways. such as, for instance, the Panama canal and the Manchester ship canal-it is not affected by tides to any appreci' able degree, and has therefore no need of locks. There is not a single lock between the almost tideless Mediter ranean and the Red sea, and tho waterway remains constantly at an almost uniform depth. The 39 feet will represent the minimum depth at low tide at Suez

Sea Steals | and.

Aldeburgh, which today holds it's feast of sprats, has run considerable risk in recent years of providing a feast for the sprats themselves. Fierce gales in the eighties and nineties did very great damage, and almost com, pleted the ruin begun by the sea tha4 swallowed up ancient Dunwich. Al one time the land went a quarter of a mile farther out to sea and an old map preserved in the venerable Moot hall shows that the church had at least ten times more land toward the sea than it has now. The market place and the cross are among the tri1es which the sea has stolen, while ill f799 eleven houses disappeared The arms of the borough were selected with some sense of humor-"A ship in the waves of the sea, all sayles bearinge" London Chronicle.

GIVEN PERRIN GOLD MEDAL
Inventor of CelIuIoid Appropriately Honored by Chemical Societies
 of United States.

The eighth impression of the Perkin gold medal for important work in in dustrial chemistry was presented to John Wesley Hyatt, inventor of cellu- Ibid, at a joint meeting of the New York sections of the Society of Chemi- cal Industry, the American Chemical society and the American Electro chemical society.
 MT. Hyatt active in spite of his sev- enty-six years, expressed his sincere thanks and gave an interesting ac- count of the invention of celluloid.
 MT. Hyatt was born at Starkey, Yates county, New York, in 1887. In his early boyhood he acquired a strong taste for mechanical affairs in his fathers blacksmith shop In his six teenth year he went to Illinois and learned the printing business, working at this trade for ten years
 Later he went to Albany and worked as a journeyman printer for about two years. Seeing a $10,000 offer for a substitute for ivory for billiard balls he began experimenting nights and Sundays in the hope of gaining the re- ward. He made a number of useful plastic compositions, none of them, however. good enough for billiard balls, but he started to make checkers and dominos of pressed wood.
 It was some time afterward that he invented celluloid and began the man. ufacture of celluloid and bone dust billiard and pool Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering.

Novel CDe~a Plan

Richard Strauss, the composer, has suggested a plan whereby German cities of from 10000 to 50,O0O inhab. itants, in groups of three, might have their own opera. By pooling funds they could afford to engage a first. class managing director at salary of $12,500 year, who should be equipped with sufficient funds to organize d per manent instrumental and singing or. ganization, to divide the period of nine months, beginning in September and ending in May, between the three cit les. The remaining three months oi the year should be devoted to vaca, tions and rehearsal of new pieces Such cooperative system would, Strauss thinks, enable medium sized communities all over Germany to hear really first-class opera which they could consider their own enterprise and would also offer new opportuni ties for aspirants, conductors and singers.

URGES MORE INTEREST
 IN THE COUNTY CONTEST
PROF. BRYANT WRITES OF THE DUTY OF FAULKNER COCN-
 TY TEACHERS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 At the request of Prof. J. P. Ak ridge, chairman of the county contest. l will write what I think is the duty of every person who teaches.
 First, he should prepare himself for this noble work, so that he may train pupils to be productive citizens. He should go into the schoolroom feeling his great responsibility; jew ing his position from the standpoint that his time belongs to the pupils and community at large, not only five days in the week, but seven.
 Tact and taste for teaching are very essential, in order that one may be in sympathy with his work. If he does not possess these attributes am afraid he will fail to do his duty in many instances.
 The teacher should be leader in the district in which he teaches. l don't mean to be dogmatic in his ac- tions, but sympathetic. As gen eral rule, the community looks to the teacher to take the iniative, if he con duets himself in the proper attitude.
 Am l wrong when 1 say that a great per cent of the teachers do just enough to draw their salaries, and really at heart don't want to do that? Can we expect to reach very high mark in the profession so long as we practice such high-handed robbery?
 The county contest is a project in which every live teacher should be in terested-one that will receive the hearty support and cooperation of both pupils and parents, if the teach Ter manifests the proper amount of in terest and enthusiasm. Every school that participates in this contest vii. receive social and intellectual develop ment This is now the opportune time to cultivate the friendly rivalry that should exist anon gthe schools 'of Faulkner county.
 There are three reasons a teacher may offer for not participating in this contest. First, ''I am a moral coward" meaning that he is afraid to get into the fight; second, T am too lazy admitting that he does not love his job, and only teaching to get a few dollars-that's all; third. q can | get representatives, confessing that he has very little influence and is q poor leader
 I.think the wideavake teacher who loves his work will get into the "col- lar so to speak, and push any enter prise that will elevate the, boys and girls of his country.
 Of all the duties that have men toned, the county contest is one of the greatest. So let's all perform this duty we'll, and we will be awarded in proportion to what We put into it.

COUNCIL PLANS
HIGH TRIBUTE To
CAPT. CLAYTON
City Body TO Ask Creation Of Ad-
vistory Office for Retiring
Construction Chief.

Members of the City Council, il
was learned Saturday, are planning
to pay tribute to Captain Robert NJ.
Clayton, who after more than 80 years
service as City Chief of Construction
has announced that he will retire to
the private practice of his profession
at the end of the year. They feel
that they can not dispense with the
benefits of Captain Clayton's long ex-
perience and his intimate knowledge
Of the city's sewer and street sys-
TENS, and they viii create for him
the position of City Consulting En-
gineer
BY the new position Captain Clay
ton will be relieved OF the many har-
assing details that accompany his
present position, and yet he will be
at hand to advise in all important
matters
The measure looking to the crea-
tion of this office likely will be intro
duced by Alderman Albert Thomson,
along with his resolution requesting
the General Assembly to change the
method of naming the City Chief of
Construction from an appointment by
Council. He said he had had so
much encouragement from various
officials and private citizens in this
plan that he was confident it would
be passed by Council, and made a

RATE CUTS ARE
PREDICTED FOR
ATLANTA SOON
United States Commissions De-
cision on Local Shippers Peti-
tion Taken as Victory,

Lower freight rates for Atlanta (at
least Sl50 per ton lower from East
ern and Middle Western points are
predicted in the near future by Sec
retary Harry T. Moore, of the Atlanta
Freight Bureau, If the decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Saturday is quoted correctly from
Washington
The decision favors an equal rate
per hundred pounds on goods shipped
from Cincinnati to Birmingham, and
from Cincinnati to Atlanta.
This is looked upon as victory
for the Atlanta Freight Bureau in its
fight for lower freight rates to and
from Atlanta. The decision was oc-
Casioned 6y the bureaus petition ask
ing lower rates from Cincinnati to
Atlanta, and from Birmingham to At
lanta.
When the rate from Cincinnati 10
Atlanta is reduced to make it equal
with the rate from Cincinnati to Bir-
mingham, it is believed by Atlanta
shippers altogether likely that East
ern carriers from Baltimore and those
cities viii reduce their rate to Atlanta
to meet the reduction from Cincinnati
to Atlanta.
At present the freight rate from
Baltimore to Atlanta and from Gin
Cinnati to Atlanta is the same. This
equal rate has been in effect since
1880. But il Cincinnati's Atlanta rate
is reduced, on an average Of S1,50 per
ton, to meet Cincinnati's Birmingham
rate, this will make Cincinnatrs At
lanta rate $3.50 per ton lower than
Baltimore's Atlanta rate.
Thus If the Eastern carriers out of
Baltimore want to compete with the
Western carriers from Cincinnati,
they will have TO cut their rates T.
meet the Cincinnati cut.

Mr.. Moore, says the Commission
ruled that we have not proved that
there is discrimination against Al
lanta in rates FROM Ohio River cross
ings to Atlanta, except wherein we
refer to Cincinnati as an Ohio River
