Ditch Around Acre Problem

TO the Editor Of the Er@um0 PuJic Ledger:
Sir--In your issIe VI the llth inst w
l.. D. presents the following; To dig a
ditch around an are Of land. how deep and
how wide must the ditch be TO raise the
hrre Of land ona fo0'?'
The ditch may be- of any width. or any
depth, from zero - inhniy.
II the depth IS determined In advance,
tho width may be- ascertnined an follows:
to the quOtisnt,
Extract the square root cf this sum and
sutlract lO4 335lG3 from this square root.
Tho rema Inler witt he the width Of the
ditch
Ditch one foot deep 43 225S.+ feet vide.
bitch ryo fest deep % +5S2s1 feet vile.
Ditch ,hre, fc,t deep, 10 l+3s0O feet wide,
Ditch i'ix feet deep, S80l29G feet wide.
The foregoing is on tn" basis Of mathn-
matical volume. all angles 90 degrees.
In practice the exCAvated ditch would re-
auirs side slopes not sleeper than "one TO
one" and the one foot high embsnknen'
over the acre would require side slopes not
sleeper than zone and One-hsf TO one"
II w0uld also be necessary to allow Tor
shrlnkagc IN snbtnNment after It was
"pudded" by rains. which shrinlasc ranges
from ahoIt per cent in gravel or sand to
20 per cent IN pudlled clay.
Every old farm hand knows that what is

Hluh Eats and Tips

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-ReplyinE to II. B." In the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDoER Of August l. would say;
have also noted your attack on the ex-
plotting rsataurants. The confectioners sha ve
just admitted they have been making 400
per cent. but the United states Government
can't find them. They ought to hire Sherlock
Holmes or put some OF their bootleg hunters
and stiil smelers onto these candy profteors.
But 800 per cert ''ain't In IT, with the
restaursnteurs: they make 301I per cent.
The IN per cent represents the tips the
candy saleslady don't get aud which tips the
walters expect for dumping the grub before
you.
But talking or writing about tips won t
stop It. The poor boob that gives tips to
walters tmany OF whom make more than
he docs) imagines all the onlookers take
him for n millionaire. or one Of the hish-
salaried engineers on the Delaware River
Bridge project.

by the runner-up, c. Mclaughlin
with a score Of 1876. McLaughlin's
score stood during two more relays
but when Lister went on the firing
line again he hung up l97 which
was better than Mclaughlin was
