Canal

The actual construction work necess-
ary to widening the Chesapeake n
Delaware Canal will not be started Tor
some months yet. The condemnation
proceedings which were started IN tne
Federal Court in Wilmington on We'd
nesday and survey of the canal Will be
necessary preliminaries to the actual
work on the canal.
Col. Jervey stated, however, that the
survey to determine the center line OF
the canal and the organization OF the
additional offices and the field forces
necessary to carrying on the work
would be started about April l.. These
preliminaries will take several months.
Among other things to be done a
dredge must be built on the summit
levil as the locks on the canal are too
narrow to permit the passage OF a
dredge through them.
Col. Jervey, who is the district en-
gineer of this district and who Will
have charge of all the work on the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, has
had a wide experience in this line OF
work. He was on work on the Panama
Canal from 1908 to 1913 and on
Lock and Dam work on the Ohio River
in 1918 and 1914 after which he work
ed on the Chesapeake and ALTERNATE
Canal until 1917. Earlier he was on
the Coosa River Canalization in Ala
bama.

Labor Department Is Active

The Department of Labor has issued
a statement by Roger w. Babson, that
contains many interesting bits of in
formation concerning the things being
done in Washington to help business.
According to Mr.. Babson the United
States hasn't been losing its money,
since in 1910 the country vas found
to be worth $186, 1000, 00O, 900; while to-
day it is estimated to be worth
S265. 600, 000, 900, while u war debt
is only some fifteen or sixteen billions.
In view of the fact that the world on
fiict has cost the nations $193, 900 ,000-
600 Uncle Sam seems to have come
thru in enviable shape, financially.
The statement throws light upon many
public questions. In one place it says:
"In addition to this work of stimulat-
ing public and private construction of
school houses and other public build
ings, private residences and wage
workers homes, sewers, water works
and other municipal improvements, the
Labor Department is making a special
drive to get public utilities on a stable
basis. The Secretary is especially
sympathetic with the needs of the
traction companies, believing that they
deserve higher fares, and relief from
taxation and other burdens. Studies
are now being made in the Secretary's
office for plans which will stabilize the
public utility industry.

Wilmington Chamber of Commerce.

Alfred D. Warner, Jr., was elected
president of the Chamber OF Commerce
at the organization meeting of the
board of directors of that body last
Saturday. William 7. Budd was elected
secretary at the same time. Mr.. Warner
succeeds William B. Megear, who has
been president of the chamber for the
past three years, and Mr.. Budd sue
ceeds Clarence C. Killen, after five
years service, resigned to enter the
business world.
Mr.. Warner, who is treasurer of the
Charles Warner Company, has been
identified with practically every move
ment for the civic, commercial and
industrial advancement of Wilmington
for years, and this wide experience
assures one of the most successful
administrations in the history of the
organization.
William T. Budd, who succeeds Mr..
Killen, formerly was auditor for the
Harlem plant of the Bethlehem ship
building Company, and later auditor
for the Penn Seaboard Steel Company,
at New Castle, He has been connected
with the Chamber of Commerce for a
number of years, and, like his new
chief has made the development of
Wilmington the subject of years of
study and activity.
Clarence C. Killen the retiring sec
rotary has been connected with the
Chamber of Commerce for more than
five years, and his vigorous and effici-
cient administration of his office dur
ing that time has been of vast mater
;ol occ;ctanoa both RI thp Chamber of
Commerce and the city which it serves.

Tomato Prices Not Set

The Tomato Growers Association In
the region of Bridgeville, Del, held a
meeting last Saturday but reached no
decision in regard to the market price.
Farmers are still holding off unde-
cided about the number of acres to
plant. The condition is rather critical,
as it is feared if a large price is de-
cided upon a large number of acres
will be planted, causing the crop to
prove Improbable. Farmers say
they cannot raise tomatoes for less
than s25 to $50 a ton. Therefore con-
ditions are very unsettled, especially
where the factories have so many cans
on hand.

NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter Of Over
coming Spark Plug FoulIng From
OIL Which Leaks Through.

When an engine starts to pump oil
and the spark plugs become fOuled, II
Is not always the best and cheapest
plan to fit new rings. A good method
to overcome spark plug fouling from
the oil which leaks through and one
that does not require the fitting OF new
rings is given herewith.
The piston Is taken out and centered
up In the chuck Of a lathe and q
groove is cut In the skirt OF the pis-
ton. Then eight or ten holes are
drilled at equal spaces around the Pc
riphery of the piston. These holes are
drilled at the top Of the groove and at
an angle so they point upward and In.
ward. This groove will serve as
wiper of the excessive oil and the
holes will drain the groove and. be-
cause of their direction, will tend to
iubricate the wrist-pin and the rod.

while the heavy traffic was kept NOV
ing.
The extensive use Of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities OF we'll
built roads as a means Of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was a constant
travelling over them has been u great
lesson TO road officials, which will be
put to good use In peace times.
The federal aid road.bullding pro-
gram for this year Is the most stu.
pendous In the history of the world.
The expenditures for road construction
for the year are likely to reach $780,
100000. Plans have been made for the
construction Of continuous highway
systems, the states through which the
highways are to pass cooperating with
ench other as never before. Improved
roads will not terminate ut state lines,
but will run from one large marketing
center to another.
Free Trucks, Added Appropriations.
More than $45. 100000 worth Of mo-
tortrucks. TO be used In road construc-
ton work. will be distributed by the
secretary Of agriculture through the
bureau Of public roads to the state
highway departments. These trucks,
about 10000 In number, have been de-
clared surplus by the war department.
and NIL that the states must do to ac-
quire them IL to pay the loading and
! freight charges. The trucks range In
capacity from two to five tons. 1000
Of them are new, and all are declared
to be In serviceable condition. They
will be apportiOned to the states only
upon request of the state highway de-
partments on the basis Of a request re-
celved from the respective states with
the npp0rtionment provided In the fed
eral aid law approved In 1915. The
requirements OF the law are such that
none Of the trucks will be distributed
to counties or individuals.
Further interest In the nationwide
need for good roads Is shown by the
fact that shortly before the last SEES.
sion OF congress adjourned that body
made an extra appropriation Of 5000
GOO, 900 In the post Office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part Of the
bodybuilding program. This IL the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for q similar purpose. say

riculture.
