Vice President Makes
Appeal fro Red Cross
nv Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-lndiana
has Just received a plea for continued
support to the American Red Cross
from Thomas R. Marshall. vice-presi-
dent of the United States.
"The American Red Cross must re-
main, if the American people are to
discharge the duties incumbent upon
them," declared MP. Marshall. mo
man is a true American unless his
heart beats for the sorrows of the un-
fortunate which it is the function Of
the Red Cross to alleviate. There is
a mistaken opinion that the Red Cross
had abandoned it's overseas work for
alienation of European suffering. This
work should not be abandoned. but all
efforts in that direction should be in
the hands Of the American Red Cross"

Baltimore's Water Supply.

Baltimore is in danger of water
shortage, and several plans have
been suggested by Water Engineer
Lee, one of which is that a Deer
Creek dam be located above the vii
lage of Rocks, and to be 100 feet
long, and 70 feet high, with it's base
at an elevation of 80 feet above sea
level. 1t would embrace a drainage
area of rs square miles and would
impound around 12,50O, ,000,O 900 gal
Ions Of water in an area of 1,24O
acres. This dam would require an
eight-foot tunnel to connect it with
Loeb Raven, the Water Engineer
said. The Deer Greek dam would
affect no villages and the land is of
low value. It's estimated cost is
$$5,293,500.
Deer Creeks gauging at Church
vile, shows a yield of from 25,000,-
900 to 100000 gallons day.

Fake Reports.

From time to time fake reports of
Government sale of new Dodge cars,
etc., have gone the rounds and
caused nervous fits to prospective
buyers for fear they could not reach
the place of sale soon enough to get
in on the purported good things to
be almost given away. Inquiry to
the War Department at washington
brings reply from the Motors and
Vehicles Section, stating:
1.-THE War Department advises
that it has no serviceable motor
trucks or passenger cars at present
for sale. In accordance with recent
Congressional Legislation, the entire
declared surplus Of serviceable
motor vehicles in the United States
has been assigned for transfer to
other Government departments.
Should serviceable motor equip
ment become available in the future
for sale to the general public
through further declaration of sur
plus, such equipment will be sold
through the Surplus Property Di-
vision of the office of the Director OF
the Purchase and Storage Service of
the War Department"

To Begin Work O
Chesapeake Canal

The government is arranging for
the purchase of a hydraulic dredge
to be used in the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal. Actual digging
will probably begin about November
l. There are, three locks in the
canal, Delaware City, st. Georges
and Chesapeake City. The work of
deepening the canal will be started
at the Chesapeake end of the canal.
The present depth will be increased
first by ten feet from Chesapeake
City to st. Georges. The sill and
gates of the Chesapeake City locks
will be lowered to that depth, when
another ten feet will be dug, and as
this will bring the bottom of the
canal 1S feet below sea level, the
outer lock will be torn away. SINH
lar work will be, done at the other
end of the canal. New bridges are
to be built and as there will be con-
siderable adjustment along the en-
tire route of the canal, owing to the
increased width engineers are now
making surveys preparatory to
taking over the needed ground for
the sea level canal.
This work will be done by private
contracts for which bids will soon be
asked. The Wilmington office will
supervise, however.

Detouring.

Automobile touring at the present
time in every part of the country in-
cludes very much "detouring," but
the rider always has hopes that it
will soon be better. "Detouring
also gives the automobilist a fine op-
portunity to see how many horrible
roads there are and usually the
"detour" roads are rightful examples
Of road building, and of the neglect
of those who should repair the roads.
The people who are forced to use
these ordinary roads all the time are
indeed in plight and yet they are
heavily taxed. In many districts no
attempt apparently is made to keep
the roads in fair condition. The
principle. If there is a principle, on
the "detour roads," on the main line
is to treat 'em rough. ."-Ex.

The twentieth annual tournament
of Rising Sun Gun Club, held ON
Wednesday of last week, was favor
ed by the finest sort of weather and
proved to be one of the most success
full shoots ever held by the Club. A
big string of shooters was in attend
ance and good scores were made.
One of the pleasing features of the
shoot, and you did not have to be a
shooter to enjoy this part Of the
program, was the lunch provided by
the ladies of Rising Sun, which was
voted especially fine by all who visit
ed the tent and partook of the
viands served. That it was literally
patronized is proven by the fact that
the net receipts from the lunch were
$60.60. The ladies showed their
public spiritedness by donating the
proceeds to the Improvement Fund
of our town.
The winners of the different
events on shoot program were:

OFFERS TO BUILD ROAD FREE.
T. G. Du Pont Wants Connecting
Link Built.

Gen. T. Coleman du Pont, of Della
ware, has offered to build, free OF
charge, link of road, about 31s
miles long, to connect the Delaware
Boulevard, which was constructed by
him and presented to the state, with
the Maryland good roads system
north of Berlin. He is seeking
rights of way, 200 feet wide, to cor
respond with the width of the Dela-
ware road.
For the construction of this link
the Maryland Legislature appropri-
ated $4,000. Because of the high
price of labor and materials this
fund was exhausted before the gap
was reached. General du PoDt now
comes forward with the offer 70 COM
plete the task undertaken by the
state. With the completion of this
link and Of the Delaware Boulevard
a new road to Wilmington and Phil
adelphia will be open to residents of
Worcester County. Since the close
of the war General du Pont has re-
newed his efforts to complete the
magnificent highway planned by him
from the Maryland line to Whining
ton. In this improvement ne was
violently combated by residents
along the proposed highway. In
their opposition they resorted TO the
courts to thwart General du Pont,
who was awarded favorable de-
cisions, the Supreme Court Of the
United States coming to his aid. To
overcome obstacles the Delaware
Legislature made provision for the
construction of good roads under it's
own supervision. Through the states
agency General du Pont is carrying
out his project.
