HELP YOURSELF IN
THIS GROCERY STORE

Help Yourself" was the slogan
at the opening of the Sterling Self
Service Store, at / East Sixth street,
at s o'clock this morning. under most
favorable conditions. The weather
was all that could be asked for the
large crowds OF curious patrons.
whose chief desire was to learn just
how this large store was operated
with only a checker, cashier and one
clerk.
Robert NJ Chase. manager Of the
local branch store, was assisted by
II. L. Russell, grocery purchasing
agent for the firm. in explaining the
method. A customer is shown to
the rear of the store, where cereals.
canned and boxed goods are for sale.
If the customer does not have a bas-
ket Of his or her he or she is sup
piled with one at the grocery en-
trance. Customers make their Sc
lection Of the goods desired, carry
them TO the front checkers desk,
where the total bill after their pur-
chases are made out and money is
paid to the cashier.
The only things a clerk sells are
eggs. meats. etc. Benjamin Price
is manager Of the meat department,
which occupies the front part Of the
store.
In the extreme rear Of this store
is a large warehouse, from which
the stores at Chester. Philadelphia,
Kennett Square and the one here is
supplied. No rails are erected to
compel a customer to travel past
every article sold by the firm.
The large crowd Of patrons SEEM
ed readily to grasp the idea and
many customers enjoyed the method
OF waiting on themselves.
The Sterling Stores are operated
by A. n. KINNEY. president. and
willard Handy, treasurer, both for
mer Wilmingtonians. These men
have been in this business for years
While this kind of store is an inno-
vation in the grocery business in this
city. It is not an original Idea, as
many such stores are operated In
many places throughout the Soutf
and West.

The sounding Of the ocean OF air Is
a new undertaking. one extending
over a few years only. The advent
OF aerial navigation has accelerated
the investigation OF the atmosphere.
There are three methods employed
in sounding the ocean OF air: % by
means OF kites; CD by means of
sounding balloons. and (3) by means
OF pilot balloons.
Upper air data obtained have
proved to be OF great value to the
aviator.
Some OF the facts determined are
as follows:
Barometric pressure invariably de-
creases with height. as there is less
and less overhead as one ascends.
Temperature usually decreases
with height up to about ten miles,
where FOR a mile or two it does not
change further with increase OF
height. while beyond that the tenn
perature rises slowly.
Above three or four miles the tenn
perature of the air is always below
freezing.
Wind velocity always increases
with height, and velocities OF GO
miles per hour and higher are com
mon at heights of three to five miles.
The highest clouds are found al
levels OF five to seven miles. but the
little water they contain is usually in
the form OF needles OF ice.
Gustiness is phenomenon found
only within a mile OF the earth's
surface.
There are no ''holes in the air.
However. the air is sometimes more
or less attenuated in the center OF q
vortex whirl, either vertical OF hori
zontal.

One Little Pig Is

Cincinnati.-"This little pig

pig stayed at home," and this is
a story about little pig that
didn't want to do either, and in
its efforts to get out of staying
home and going 20 market
caused Cincinnati fire depart
ment to go changing away on
fruitless trip.
The pig was in a pen in the
Meyer packing house. 1t got
out, and soon had a throng of
employees chasing it madly
around. The pig rebounded
here and there in the factory,
finally coming full tilt against
an automatic fire alarm. An en-
CINE company, hook and ladder
and the district fire marshal re-
spOnded. Also great number
of citizens, who for the time be-
ing were disengaged.
The pig eventually was cor
rallied, with the aid of the citi-
zens.

any strain. The hired man, Jim. was
lighter and finer OF feature, and his
white teeth cleaned against the nut
brown of his face In a quiet smile
that refused to be displaced in any
emergency, and at times left the be-
holder in considerable doubt as to the
real emotions working behind.
The men all wore blue Overalls, dark
blue or gray shirts, and heavy boots.
They were guiltless Of coat or vest,

was a quick splashing Of greasy hands
at the wash basin. followed by a more
effectual rubbing on a towel made
from q worn-Out grain sack. The

ranges. But none Of these features
has been placed on map.
Based on Settlers Notes.
The county and state maps of Texas
are inferior to those of other states,
Doctor Hill said, because of the differ
ent systems of land survey used in
Texas. In other states the land has
been accurately surveyed and divided
into townships and sections. The sur
veying was done and field notes made
under United States supervision, as
maps of the country were always nee
essary to acquire land. The Texas
systems were inherited from Mexico
and Spain. Scrips or warrants were
issued to individuals. who went out,
took some natural object for a corner,
measured off block of acres called
for in the shape and direction chosen,
and sent the notes to the land Office.
Current maps were compiled from
these notes, made by many individuals,
and the topographic information sup
piled was nearly always meager.
Up to 1860, when the geological sur
vey began in Texas, there was only
one point In Texas with its exact loca-
ton on the earth's surface known.
This was monument to David Crock
EFT, near the old land Office, on the cap
itOl grounds at Austin. 1t was located
by the United States geodetic survey.
About 1880 some women were giving
a bazaar for patriotic purposes in Aus
tin. They desired some souvenirs TO
sell at the bazaar and at their request
the old monument was broken into
pieces and taken to the bazaar. ThAs
persisted the only point In Texas defi-
nitely located on the earth's surface.
