Gallons Is the Limit

Joy riding in California has q gas
olene limit put upon it now which
tourists should reckon before they
sell q farm to indulge. Mr.. T. c.
Cartwright, former lumber dealer of
this city, now spending the summer
in Long Beach, Calf. writes that he
has to await his turn in a long line
of autoists to obtain his gasolene ra-
ton and that the ration when he
gets to the tank is two gallons in
any one day. This is in Southern
California, where Oil we'll derricks
are much thicker than trees. The
gasolene line there takes the place
OF the bread line In Europe.

9.-How is quiet operation obtain
cd in the motor cars bevel universal
driving gear located af the rear aIlef
! Quiet operation of tho rear axle
drive gearing is obtained by using
angular teeth gears. This is also cs..~
cd skew bevel gearing, and noise Is

10.-Do the driving shafts Of auto
mobiles require one or two joints?
Why are universals necessary
Automobile driving shafts are of
two kinds usually, the enclosed
shafts and those not enclosed. Open
shafts mostly use two universals. and
enclosed shafts one. If no universals
were used. strain to the shafts would
result. because the rear mounting is

Tells Employment Managers As,

The problems of immigration to this
country as they affect the present period
were the subject of very important ad-
dress last night, before the Employment
Managers Association, by Richard ii
Waldo, connected with the lnter-Racial
Council
The meeting was held in the clubroom
of the Hotel du Pont, and was presided
over by L. Ross Farra, president of the
association. Addresses were also made by
BENJAMIN Johnson, Industrial Director
in the Wilmington Trades Schools, III. L.
Garder and |. r. Anderson of the du Pont
Company.
MIR Waldo's summary of the agricul-
tural and trade situation in the United
States touched on the fact that bountiful
crops have caused the growers TO become
"product-poor, unable to store the hsr-
vests they have raised, not in command
of credit nor of money, and consequently
out of the market as BUYERS for the present.

"BOuND" CHILDREN.
To be Reported Upon at Public Meeting
Next Wednesday.


Tho Board of Managers of the Children's .
Bureau of Delaware is calling a meeting
70 be held at the Court House, Court
Room No. /, Chancellor Curtis presiding.
Wednesday, December Is, at $50 p. m,
the report on the "bound" children that
have been placed In this state from out
of state agencies.
This investigation was made by the
Childrens Bureau at the request Of the
State Board of Education. The law, which
provides for bond for these children,
is administered by the State Board OF
Education. This board has known for
some time that the school attendance Of
these children WAS unsatisfactory and that
other distressing conditions prevailed
Miss Logic finds that ID past years there
have been fourteen agencies from other
States placing children in this state. She
visited the home offices of these agencies
and made an examination of the record
of every child placed in Delaware. She
then visited each child ip this State and
made very exhaustive study OF the con-
ditions under which the children were
living A public health doctor from the
u. s. Government examined . selected
group of these children and has made .
detailed report, especially upon their
mentality. Miss Logies report will be
especially interesting, as she has not
only compiled statistics, but she will read
the interesting histories of many of the
children.
II has been decided that this report Is
of much Importance to the public that the
meeting viii be open TO any one interest
ed in this group of dependent children
