ROTAR|ANS TO CHR|STEN
NEW LIBERTY BANK
Opening of Patriotic Institution,
for Which They Are
Responsible.

Members of the Rotary Club will con
duct the christening exercises" at the
Liberty Loan Bank of Wilmington. on
Market street above Sixth, tomorrow
at 1890 O'Clock There is great deal
of mystery concerning the preparations
for this great event II Is understood
however that there has never been a
launching IN Wilmington that can com
pare with what rs being planned for the
launching of the Liberty Loan Bank
for the Third Liberty Loan campaign
The Rotary Club, which is sponsor for
this bank, has consented TO be master of
ceremonies for this auspicious occasion,
for the foundation stone Of Rotary is

rendered the community today than by

Is best to fill depressions and even up the
old macadam or other old road surface
before resurfacing, by using crushed stone
or its equivalent and pouring hot bitumen
on it fermentation method. The asphalt

thus used for res,irfacing, when rolled
hard, can be cooled with water and thus
at once opened to traffic rs the work prog

sides of the road and traffic kept moving
Fourth-Roads which have no firm
base and which must be rebuilt, including
grading, foundation and wearing surface
layer. In such cases, where traffic can
be safely blocked and sent by other roads
for some time, it is slow but feasible TO
construct new roads with various ma
terials needing time to use, such as Port
lend cement concrete foundations, brick,
stone blocks, etc In some cases where
entire new roads must be built some time
can be saved by constructing crushed
stone or very coarse gravel foundations
poured with suitable hot bituminous bind
ers or cements.
While the foregoing is suggestive, local
conditions will often compel other meth
ods and materials To be used.
The hundreds of miles of viable roads
now necessary for military efficiency will
also furnish our country with a great,
asset and help in the postwar period
when they will be needed to increase
economic efficiency then necessary to
help paw the cost Of war and re-cstablish

America is known the world over as

foreigners, the average American spends
the day inbibing ice-crearn sodas and
manching bonbons.
But now medical science declares that
this is the secret of the energy and strenu-
Gus life of the American and that the more
strenuous be becomes the more sweets he
will require; that actually 1850, ,000, 900
pounds of sugar that is consumed yearly
in the United States might be increased
to the improvement Of the nation.
King Candy. science says, is an athletic
trainer. q business partner that puts
courage and energy into a man: bold

The muscles OF the body require sugar
and the more . inan or d woman brings
his or her muscles into play the more they
