INDIAN RIVER inlet
DUG BY FARMERS.
Contlnued from Flrsi pare


Bennett and Representative William II.
Danzenbaker, comprising the Inlet Com
mission. viewed the new inlet on sun
day and were so greatly impressed with
what the farmers and landowners
around Indian River Bay had done that
they decided 10 pay out OF the state
appropriation the cost OF the work 10
date, and also will study the effect OF
the tides on the channel There is a
general feeling in that section that any
inlet. no matter where dug, connecting
Indian River Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean, will shoal with sand unless a
jetty is built out into the ocean to di-
vert the current and shifting sands
The State appropriation. however, is
not sufficient to build a ietty.
A majority OF the Inlet Commission
had under consideration another locs-
tion for the inlet, but many residents
OF the Indian River hundred section
claim the channel dug by them is in the
best location because It has the pres
sure or the entire bay back OF IL 20 as
sist in keeping the channel clear. II
10 proves satisfactory the members OF
tbe Inlet Commission probably will
build no other channel, but will enlarge
the present one and use the State ap-
preparation TO keep it clear. The inlet
will be adapted to the use OF small
boats only, but It will prevent over
flowing OF the surrounding farm lands
and enable the raising OF hay, which is
a profitable industry for that section.

two slightly hurt as a result OF col

smyrna. and trolley No. iis, at Oak
Road. oak Grove. Elsmere. about three
blocks west of the entrance 10 the
state Fair Grounds, at $50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The injured man Is Francis r Pos
Ties. aged 6i years. OF Smyrna. II was
stated 8t the Delaware Hospital this
morning. where he was taken follow
ing the accident that his left leg is
fractured and that he sustained severe
bruises
Or. Gardiner escaped with bruises and
minor scratches lie was dazed for a
time after the car struck his automo-
bile. however, and had to.be carried 10
the residence Of Charles Burrell, which
Is nearby. by Constable II. g. fennlmore.
There he received FIRST aid treatment,
and later he and Homer Deakyne, the
third occupant OF the automobile were
driven TO French street station. Deakyne
was badly shaken up.
The automobile was completely
wrecked. an four wheels being Knocked
on by the heavy car. The top and
windshield were also shattered. The
three men had Just visited the state
Fair
The automobile was moving west on
he clnder road TO the south OF The rail-
way tracks.
Il was said by an eye witness that
here was a trolley standing on me
track in such a position that Dr. Card
ner could not see the eastbound car
)n the north track. Coming out from
behind the other car and becoming CON
used by a hasiy warning shouted by a
lystander, Or. Gardiner stopped his ma
,hine on the tracks. and In The fraction
II a second the trolley was upon the

The injured men were eXtricated from
ne wreckage and Mr.. posiles was inn
put into the Red Cross ann

After the accident the wrecked ma

he trolley, not being seriously dam
lged. was able 10 proceed.

struck his machine was coming from /
he direction contrary to that which |
rolleys usually take on this track.

HARVARD FUND TO
AID INSTRUCTORS

Alexis I. dupont, chairman OF the
committee in charge OF the Harvard En-
dowment Fund for Delaware, stated to-
day that the question OF increasing sal
aries for teachers and professors should
be seriously considered by every one in
terested in the cause OF education.
Those Of Us who are working 10 get
subscriptions for the Harvard EndoW-
ment Fund and who have had the op-
portunlty Of studying at first hand Ia
situation at Harvard fully realize the
difficulties colleges are now facing, ."
said Mr.. dupont. THE cost Of living
has grown much higher in the last few
years and the salaries paid TO professors
have not been prOpOrtiOnately Increased.
Some Of the best brains OF the country
are now occupying PROFESSIONAL chairs
and unless they are paid salaries suf-
flcient 20 enable them 20 live comfort
ably they Will be forced 90 take posi-
ti0ns with outside business houses. II
Is well known that great numbers Of
professors could, II they wished. assO-
ciate themselves today In lines OF bust
ness where their talents would COM
mand much higher salaries than col
leges pay them. These men, however,
prefer TO serve the cause OF education
But they must be provided for, and il
is greatly to be feared that unless some
measures are taken along this line the
country Will shortly witness many OF
lis most desirable professors leaving
colleges to accept positions where they
can provide in larger measures for their
families.
"The situation at Harvard in this re-
gard is one that ought to be OF press
ing interest TO every Harvard man. The
must have this endowment
fund II It is 10 fulfil It's teaching ideals
in the future as it has done in the past.
What is true OF Harvard is no doubt
true OF many other Institutions. A sym
pathetic interest in this movement on
he part OF business men generally will |
at this time a public service
IN a very large sense"
