GOAL lot Ships Needed
The one important business that was
to be given cons liberation, said the ad
minlstrators. was that OF moving Al
lied ships and supplies. This cannot
be done without a. tremendous increase
IN the quantity of coal arriving daily
at Jersey tidewater. The closing of all
coalconsuming industries, except those
directly involved in feeding the popu-
laton Of these states, was suggested
as the only logical method of accom-
plishing this.
But in order TO make the restrictions

to Camp Early Next Spring

Draft calls for men who have
passed their thirty seventh birthday
are expected to begin about March l.
Plans for bringing the older class of
new registrants into camp have not
been completed, but the approximate
date of the first call was disclosed
yesterday by publication of testimony
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
before the House Military Committee.
In all General Crowder told the COM
mittee, 2,299,OOO newly registered
men between 18 and As will b called
before July 1, and of that number
more than two million will be ply
slcally fit for fighting men. The
Gals for general service will be divided
as follows: October, 345,OOO; Novem-
ber, 100000; December, 1877, 800; Janu-
airy, 147,000; February, 244,00O;
March, April, May and June, 344,OOO

ROBBERIES AT MIDDLETOWN
John Curry, COlOred Arrested After
Clever Piece of Detective Work

October 18th, the meat shop of J. E.
Lewis, Middletown, was robbed,
$63.50 being taken from the cash reg
lister. On August 1st, $500 was
thus stolen, and on September 1st, "a
cents. The American Stores Co. store
was robbed on September 10th of
$3.50 worth of Thrift Stamps, and on
October 8th of $1.28, and $1.25 in
postage stamps. The facts seemed to
suggest a local artist was operating,
and accordingly the Chief put on his
thinking cap to solve the riddle. The
following circumstance furnished him
his clue. A certain colored boy
named John Curry whom he knew to
be an idler was seen riding a brand
new bicycle. He asked Curry where
he got it, and when the boy said "at
HOwelPs he went to Mr.. Howell and
learned that Curry told him he earned
the money working at the Armstrong
cannery. The Chief thereupon phon-
ed to the cannery and was told by the
manager that he didn't even know
such a boy. The Chief then looked
for him in Hamtown and learning
that he had gone to Wilmington on
bike, telephoned the police there to
arrest him giving the address of his
mother who lived in the city. Not
hearing promptly from theWilmingtor
police he and Mr.. Lewis went there in
an auto, arriving just as the news
come to the police station that Curry
had been caught. This was on the
night of the eleventh. At first the
boy denied everything, but finally
after a long sweating, confessed
everything, and also that another boy
who had been arrested because of sus
picious circumstances SEEMINGLY in
eliminating him, was found innocent

POINTER TRIALS SUSPENDED.
Local Conditions Causes the Delaware
Club to Take Action in Matter

Club to Take Action in Matter
The Board of Governors of the Del
aware Setter and Pointer Club have
decided to suspend for this year the
annual field trials and the following
explanatory letter has been sent to
members: "Owing to the apathy ex-
listing in every community toward any
form of nOn-essential endeavor, es-
pecially in our section where every
man is either engaged in munition
manufacture or shipbuilding, the Del
aware Setter and Pointer Club decided
at a meeting of the Board of Gov
ernors, held on October IA that the
annual field trial would be suspended,
and the members urged to support
with their presence and entries the
trials of neighbOring clubs. This
action is taken with regret, and is not
to be construed as cOndemning the
practice of holding field trials during
the existence of war, for each sports
man at home should redouble his
efforts to keep up the high standards
of sport existent in the lovers of the
hunting dog, especially since so many
of the fraternity are at the front.
Local conditions are such, however,
that the board thought it would bene-
fit the clubs generally to concentrate
on a few trials rather than scatter
our energies over a number of local
meets"

LINCOLN HIGHWAY ROUTE
ACROSS STATE TO Be BEST
SOLID CONCRETE AND BRICK
BLOCKS MAKE A SOLID BASE
Wilmington Chester Turnpike is Near
ing COmpltiOn-NOw Bricked to
Pennsylvania State Line

Inspection of the Philadelphia turn
pike, which is now being rebuilt by
the State Highway Commission was
made Wednesday by Charles NJ. Up
ham State Highway Engineer, and
several other State officials, including
Attorney General David ]. Reinhardt.
The Turnpike from Shellpot to Clay
mont was traversed. The cOnstruc-
tion of the road is progressing rapidly,
considering the present conditions, land
is being done thoroughly by the en-
gineers. After it's completion the road
will be one of the finest in this part
of the country. AS an indication
of the thoroughness being insisted
upon by the highway commission, Mr.
Upham showed the party the concrete
bridge over the little stream near
Shellpot Park. Not only is the bridge
wider but it's appearance is, also
pretty and of sufficient strength to
last for years. Bricks in sufficient
quantity have been brought to the
road, so that the laying is now going
on with the contractor having a force
of about so men, making progress
daily in the vicinity of the house of
William DUPONT at Bellevue. The
bricks are laid upon a concrete base
and in the center of the road, the con
crete being a foot in depth and upon
it already dried, there is placed an
inch of sand and cement mixed
Upon this dry base the bricks are
placed and afterward the whole thing
is gone over with hose and made wet
dry and then again a mixture of
cement is sprinkled over the top, thus
making of the whole road a cement
reinforced brick. Road construction
has advanced to such a degree that
bricklaying is not finished now by
spraying with hot tar to keep the
bricks in position. Grading of a
great nature has been done already.
1t seems that on the whole turnpike
the grade at any place will not be
more than 619 or per cent. That is
remarkable, when the other heavy
grades are remembered. Big grading
machines, which are now about
through, could be seen along the road,
looking to important work they have
done. Mr.. Upham said that the con-
crete mixers have been provided to
give the contractors all the concrete
they needed and he thinks the road
for the most part will be completed
before winter comes. AS a matter of
fact nearly mile of the brick road
from the Claymont end is completed
now, and it is as good as the Other
brick road in Marcus Hook, which was
built under Mr.. Upham's direction
about six or more years ago. De
spite the heavy traffic the road has
had it is in fine shape and Mr.. Uphan
predicted that the new brick road he
is now building will be much better
than several others constructed re

SALES OF HORSE TRAPPINCS

OF Automobiles.

Not only has the growing use Of

ly altered the general nature of the
horse trsppings that still are sold.
For instance, nearly all of the hand
made fine harness, formerly made,
was used in the large cities on the
housekeeping teams of rich people.
Now all these rich people ride in auto
mobiles, so that high-priced. hand
made harness has practically gone out
Of existence.
While there is still much saddlery
and harness sold, it is all of either
medium or cheap grades. So. in
another direction, the fact that such
horses as are used in the city are
mostly for draught purposes, means
that horse clippers do not sell nearly
as well as previously, since there is
not the same close attention paid to
the appearance of draught horses now
as of fine carriage horses formerly.
Also what were known as "City Pat.
tern horseshoe nails are practically
out of use.
Riding horseback used to be fav-
orite sport with many city people, but
automobiles have greatly restricted
this recreation, with the consequent
falling off in the sales Of fine saddles,
brides, and all the trappings Of the
riding horse.

A novel method Of salvaging sunken
ships has been devised BY DR. Sylvio
Pelllco Portella, of Rio de Janeiro,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
The invention consists Of a specially
Quilt tender which carries collapsible
floats made of waterproof material.
The floats occupy very little space I'M
til they are put into use and inflated.
They are constructed in such man
ner that they win assume number
Of different shapes when they are In
dated.
Taken down to the wreck by divers,
hey are attached TO the vessel both
inside and outside and are connected
with the tender by lines Of hose. When
In place they are inflated by air pres
sure from the tender AS they swell,
they displace the water from within
as well as from without, and their
buoyancy causes the wreck to float up
ward to the surface.
