water coming in and with fresh
water coming down from the
streams and ponds the bay has
almost become fresh and salt
water fish, crabs, and oysters are
threatened with extinction.
Not only is the inlet one of pc
cuniary benefit to the fishermen
but it is associated with consider
able historical interest.
It is claimed through tradition
and borne out somewhat by his
tory that when Lord Baltimore
first came to this country his ship
sailed into Indian River Bay and
for about year the men lived in
a settlement along the shores.
Finding that the tides interfered
with the opening of the inlet and
that it would not remain deep
enough for large shipping, Lord
Baltimore and his colonists pull
ed up stakes and started further
south, sailing into the Chesapeake
and founding the city of Balti-
more. To this day the lower land
of Indian River is called Balti-
more hundred, supposed to be so
named because of the settlement
made there. For many years the
inlet was deep enough for vessels
to trade back and forth and many
carried pine wood and lumber out
of the Bay over to New Jersey
bringing back glassware and iron.
About twenty years ago the inlet
closed up exactly as it has done
this time but a storm later re-
opened it. 1t will always be more
or less insecure until the Govern
ment builds bulkheads out into
| the ocean to protect the mouth of
the inlet.

New York Women Plan In
Detail The Coming Biennial

In response to inquiries from
women in all parts of the country
relatives to the Biennial to be
held in New York, May 23 to June
second inclusive, the following
history of the plan as it has de-
veloped in the hands of New York
club women is given:
When the 1914 convention of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs was held in Chicago, New
York sent the joint invitation of
the New York City Federation of
Women's Clubs, the New York
State Federation of Women's Clubs
and Sorosis, endorsed by the May
or, Borough President, and the
Merchants Association, for the
1916 convention to be held in the
Empire City. This met happily
with the result of New York being
chosen the Biennial city for 1916.
In November following, Call
was sent out by Miss Florence
Guernsey, then president of the
New York City Federation, to re-
presentatives of the hostess or
ganizations for a meeting "to dis
cuss matters pertaining to the Con-
vention of 1916" That meeting
resulted in the formation of the
Local Biennial Board, whose Off
GERS are: Mrs. Phillip Carpenter
first chairman; Miss Guernsey
second vice-chairman; Mrs. Benja
min Prince, third vice-chairman
Mrs. North Mclean, fourth vice
chairman; Mrs. Thomas Slack
recording secretary; Mrs. Alber'
C. Bage, corresponding secretary
Mrs John H. Griesel, treasurer

Wealth Of The
State Itemized

The monthly business digest of
the National Bank Of Delaware,
issued February first, gives US the
following information:
The number of horses in the
country decreased about 10000
during the year and at the same
time the value per head declined
from $103.33 to S101 go. The num-
Der Of mules increased $4,000, and
at the same time the value per
head increased from S112.36 to
$113.S7. The number of milch
cows increased during the year by
10000 and the value per head de-
clined from $55.33 to $500. The
number of other cattle in the
country increased 2,3S6,000 and at
the same time the value per head
increased from S33.38 to S33.49
Here is good evidence that cattle
laising is receiving greater atten-
tion and that the growers are rea-
lizing good profits.
The number of sheep in the
country declined during the year
by 794,000 and the value per head
increased from $3.50 to S5.17. The
number of hogs in the country in
creased by 3,429,0OO and the value
per head declined from S9.S7 tc
S8.40. The total value of all ami.
mails on farms at the beginning OF
the year was S6,003,00O,OOO com.
pared with 5000, 100000 a yeal
ago, increase in value being near,
ly S34,000,000.
