A definite issue OF the early develop
ment of an inland waterway along the
Atlantic coast which will protect the
commerce OF Wilmington and Philadel-
phia and other ports will bic made Mt a
meeting in Philadelphia next Monday, to
be attended by Representative John IL.
Small, of North Carolina, chairman of
the House committee on rivers and harbors
Widespread interest in several localities
has been aroused in the project since the
advent of German submarines off the

of this have eliminated in a determined
drive for action. The meeting on Monday

of Mayor Smith, is for the purpose of
Philadelphia claim.

develop the Importance, especially with
regard to transportation, of having the
waterways utilized TO greater extent

sideration in addition to those of the rail-
roads.

GARBAGE PUZZLE
APPEARS SOLVED
Bids to Be Advertised For on
Thrcc-Ycar Basis and Coun-
Gil Will Pay Bills.

Solution Of the much-discussed garbage
collection question has probably been
reached as result of lengthy CON
ference between the Board of Health
and City Council, last night, during a
recess called during the weekly SESSION OF
Council The Councilmen informed the
Board of Health that it need not worry
about the contract bill being paid, as
Council would be held responsible for
il and would be willing to pay for any
contract fairly drawn up, according to
law.
The members of the Board Of Health
cited to the Councilmen that the old
board had asked for bids for the collec-
ton of garbage for three years and that
the bids had been turned over to the
new board, when it went into office and
II thought the bid too high. The new
board asked for new bids. but when they
were received they we're also found TO be
very high. Thinking to better conditions
and probably save money for the city,
the board then asked for bids for the
collection of garbage for one year and the
bids received were far more than the
approximation of S25. 900 allowed. 1t WAS
for the purpose Of discussing this situation
that the members of the board appeared
before Council.
LAWYERS DISAGREE.
CITY Solicitor Rayard had given his
opinion that it would be proper for the
Board of Health to award contract for
one wear for the collection of the garabge
but Robert G. Hartman, counsel for one
of the bidders was present at the con-
ference and said considered it was a
a violation Of the law to sward a contract
for s shorter period than three years. 1t
Was decided that the Board OF Health
should advertise st once for new bids for
the period of three years.
Assistant City Solicitor John +. Nal
10y, who Was present, discussed the
matter with those at the conference,
but he declined to pass on the validity
of the one-year ordinance as it had
been passed on by Mr.. Baysrd. Mr.
MaIloy explained, however, that the
health department wanted the co-opera-
ton of Council and that the present
crisis was a serious one.
AS the city is now paying $500 for
the collection of garbage here for the
month OF June, II was stated that an
other tentative arrangement would have
to be made until the new bids are ad-
vertised and the contract awarded.
During the conference, it was sug-
gested that the city do its own collec-
ton. but it was stated by Mr. Hartman
and Mr.. Malloy that the city had no night
TO do such work, that the law stated that
the contract for the collection had to be
let by the Board of Health.
II was evident at the conference
that the get-together spirit displayed
by the health board members with
City Council was to the liking of the
CouncIlmcn

:, ANTS MILK THE APHIDs
insects Give Up as contentedIy ss a
Cow, in Return for Food
and Shelter.

How successive generations of
ants learn to milk the aphids is a
mystery that cannot be explained on
any theory Of heredity, for, as the
Journal of Heredity points out, the
ants which do the milking are work
ers, sexless insects that leave no off
spring. ut is, therefore, quite i'm
possible that they should transmit
their training to offspring which
they do not leave"
The milk" which the aphids give
up to the ants as contentedly as a
cow gives her milk, is the juice of
plants sucked up by the aphids and
transformed in their bodies to a
strip of invert sugar or glucose.
This is the so-called cheney dew"
often found in vast quantities on
plants. Some species of ants merely
lick this up, but others strike the
aphids to persuade them to "give
down." just as the hired man Of the
farm induces the COW.
In return for this service the ants
fight the enemies of the aphids,
carry them to safety in times of dan
ger, take care of their eggs, place
the aphids where they will get the
best Of food and shelter them ip
their nests in cold weather. The
aphids like the arrangement, for they
never try to escape.

HOW TO RESTORE CLOTHING
Carefully Brush Before Laying Away
and 1t Will Regain Its
Original Luster.

1t is surprising to see how a suit
of clothes carefully brushed and put
away renews itself and comes out
with almost the original luster. In
these days of remuneration, the
Christian Register Totes, it is worth
while to postpone the buying of the
usual supply of clothing until a test
is made of the responsibility OF the
suit in its second year.
Responsibility in men and women
is in England not dependent upon
clothes. Indeed, it is wonderful to
see an aged couple Of high rank
travelling, waited on by funkies in
sgotless livery, while the noble lord
and lady are as doNdy as i they bad
come out St az cd couples home.
at one Of our conferences at Sara
toga the president one day carried
on his arm a light oyercoat 50
shabby that a young minister said
that l0 minister would dare to wear
such a coat. It takes some courage
and much self-respect to make a
man Independent of his clothes.
Just now it might be considered a
mark of patriotism if a man should
be believed to contribute to the COM
mon cause Of national defense and
foreign good-fellowship the money
he saved by not replenishing his
wardrobe this season.

Tillman Won the Day.

"As for your insinuations of cow
ardice and lack of patriotism" he
shouted at his adversary, 81 spit them
out at you, and spurn you and them
with contempt"
Not a shot was fired. 1t was a mir
acle. A thunderclap of applause greet
ed his daring speech, and from that
moment Tillman had control of the
multitude. He was elected governor
by a large majority at the end of a
crusade for agricultural independ-
ence, the overthrow of corruption in
the State government, a state agri-
cultural college, the control of the
barroom politicians, low taxes and
free silver. So terrible did he become
to his enemies on the stump that few
men could face him. He is profane
sometimes, but the explosive force
of his personality and the pictur-
esqueness of his language give an
impression that he is appallingly in
decent.
