for about 450 feet and the terrace Of con-

where inroads Of the sea had cut into the

when the work was completed in Septem-
Der the buttress filled rapidly and has
weathered all the subsequent storms without
injury, so that nothing was displaced from
the boardwalk within a thousand feet from
its ends. 1t is 900 feet long and cost
$4,000, or about 81 per foot of beach pro-

The prevailing practice has been to at
tempt to check the impact of stormwaves
by massive seawalls or bulkheads on the
strand, supplemented by groynes or jettIes
designed to check the waves and retain the
resulting littoral drifts: but experience has
demonstrated the defects of these struc-
lures and the injury caused by arresting
the movement of the sand, thus robbing the
beaches of leeward and causing great losses
to adjacent properties, which can b.

achievements and render your own verdict.
First consider the fact that Doctor Haupt
is the inventor of the reaction break

bars and creation of self maintaining, navi-
gable channels; also of the reclamation
buttresses and hooked jetties for beach pro-
lection. But simply putting up a concrete
buttress as a guardian against the batter
ing seas is not enough. THE application
of the remedy must involve study of the
resultant littoral drift, angular waves, pre-
vailing winds, grades of foreshores, contour
of coast, source Of material and currents at
food and ebb tide, which are the factors
to be utilized, says Doctor Haupt. This is
the secret of his power. the knowledge that
has enabled him to deliver the goods" a.

almost uncomfortably fast, had to be moved

oloyes now numbered ten.
rSHE had begun with ten pounds Of nuts.
Dit wasn't so very long before she was
turning out hundred pounds OF nuts anu
then it wasn't so very long before 1t was q

She thought at first she was sailing nuts

iastead of that one drug store in Flushing,
she now is selling to drug stores everywhere
aad to wholesale gtocers as well and con-
f.ctionery jobbers and retail dealers, and to
delieatessen stores and to caterers.
One of her most important customers was
the Salvation Army. And during the wal

Surely this is a fable: it sounds like one.

other lands where he has been unable to
answer the many calls for his services BE-
cause Of his manifold duties in the Americas.

Pass. Texas. where his reaction jetty accom-
plished the desired end for the government
after three previous efforts had failed. Doc
for Haupt's method is to let the winds and
tides dig channels and open passsgewsys
rather than spend millions Of dollars In
dredging. He has a plan for digging out
the Delaware river channel up to Philadel-
mia and Trenton without dredging at
tremendous expense. simply with the con-
struction of several jetties in the vicinity OF
