BUSINESS LOOKS
PROMISING so FAR
Nation Is Steady With Heavy
Reserves for New Year,

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA review
o business conditions throughout the
eoyntry made public today by the
United States chamber OF commerce
says that the extraordinary and ab.
normal demands made upon everyone
from farm boy to corporation head,
have left the nation steady and with
heavy reserves coming up for the new
year"
On Local Conditions.
"The attitude OF the business world
toward the future" says the report,
Seems to depend more upon local con-
ditions than upon any general senti-
ment In those sections where the
crops we're poor there is great deal
OF natural conservation and caution in
making purchases and commitments
in some sections OF the east there
Is more or less OF this same hesi,a-
tion and doubt despite much individual
activity and apparently because OF
drastic economy among the purchasing
public, also the pinch Of the high cost
Of living and the realization that all Of
the wars burdens are vet TO be felt
Future Is Unknown.
"ln general, however, in the larger
portion Of the country the buying power
Of the many is greater and more wide
spread than ever before so that the gen
eral view seems to be a sustaining CON
fidence tempered by the realization that
no one can possibly devine what the
future holds in store for us, and con
sequently all purchasing is for needs
and wants with le element of specula
tion almost entirely eliminated. Ap-
parently the great volume OF business
seems assured a, something like its
present status during the coming winter
months

New York. Aug 30-To some of the

This is Indicated by the assertion recently

AGGRESSIVE WORKON
PHILADELPHIA Pike
At the Upper End of the Road
Placing of the Surface
Has Been Started.

1t is good news for turnpike travellers
that a stretch of the Philadelphia and
Wilmington road south of the State hne
is actually in shape and faced with new
bricks. TO be sure. there is only 500
feet fully finished. with nearly 1000 feet
more ready for the brick, the concrete
foundation being already laid, but that Is
something indicating progress, and point
ing towards eventual completion. The
work of LAYING bricks will have TO STOP
however, at the railroad bridge. as the
preparation of the stretch from there to
the Worth Brothers plant will require
much time to put the underplnning and
foundation course in shape.
Between the railroad bridge and Naa-
man 5 road. at the tea house. the telephone
company is engaged in deepening its
stretch for the accommodation of wires
and to avoid damage from blasting that
will have to be done. The old stone bridge
across Naaman' creek. founded in 1900,
as the center stone records, will be wld-
ened about eighteen feet. The old arch of
about forty feet will be extended on
either side and the side walls. instead of
running straight will have rounding turns
at the ends Just south of the bridge

Brot hers plant is to run under the turn
pike. and as the government provides that
there must bc a clearance of nineteen
Feet there will have TO be considerable
illing done to make the bridge possible.
This one section has not been touched yet
and no bricks have been piled there.

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN.
Clerical Help Needed When Head
quarters Arc Opened Next Week.

The Liberty Loan campaign, which Is
to open September 2s, offers an oppor-
tunity to number of stcnographers for
patriotic service in helping to win the
war. Beginning next Tuesday, head.
quarters for the committee will be opened
in the Church Building Tenth and
Market streets, and the preliminary
work will be begun in earnest then. This
will involve n great deal of letter writing
and clerical work, which will increase III
amount as the campaign progresses.
A shortage of stenographic help in Will
mington has suggested to A. Rae du Bell,
secretary of the committee, that an
appeal be made TO women who were
formerly employed, but who are not now
engaged in the work regularly. There are
a number of women now married and
presiding over their own homes who, II
is thought, may he willing to return 10
their former occupation and thus aid this
great financial campaign. 1t is hoped
that half dozen such workers may be
secured. They will be paid for their labor
and in addition will have the satisfaction
of knowing that they are helping the
national cause.
Mr. du Bell has also in mind the organi-
zation of n reserve force of volunteer
workers to be called upon for emergencies
during the campaign. In other campaigns
it has been found that there frequently
arises need for the services Of n large
group of stenographers for a short time
during the evening. The secretary is
hoping for enough volunteers ready to
respond to any call of this kind TO take
care Of any such emergencies.
Pending the opening of headquarters
in the Church Building Mr. du Bell will
be glad to hear from any one Interested
in this work at his office, Room 976
du pont Building.

is being done. The one great feature Of
the work is the change in the grade OF
Penny Hill. That is in itself long and
tedious Job, and the contractor for that
section has two miles to look after. The
blasting out of the rocks on the hill just
beyond where the electric road turns
toward Hillcrest goes on slowly. yet when
compared with the old methods Of such
work, before dynamite and electric drills
were invented, very rapidly.
The native granite deposit, which is
quarried for building purposes in several
places in the vicinity crops out Just un-
derneath the present grade at this point,
and it will require lot of blasting to cut
down the gradient and widen the road
way rs planned.
NEW BRIDGE AT sHELLPoT.
Anew bridge will be built replacing the
present one over Shellpot creek, and on a
grade nearly twelve feet higher than IL
now is This means fill of many thousand
cubic yards, and rs the material that is
taken out in the cut work further on
will he utilized. it is evident that the
filling in must wait on the excavations. All
Of which means that this part of the job
is not likely to be taken up until good
weather comes again next spring. When
IT has been completed, the entrance To
