SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE
"SpringbOk" Motor Spirit Made From
Prickly Pears Invented

The prickly pear may force down
the price of gasoline and prevent the
growth of so many stock dividend
melons" by oil companies. In far
away South Africa the Department of
Commerce has found that a gasoline
substitute made from prickly pear
juice, mixed with other chemicals, has
shown remarkable results. 1t is known
as "springbok' motor spirit. 1t can
be retailed for half the price of gaso-
line, has averaged 22.6 miles for six
cylinder car and unlike gasoline,
starts easily in cold weather. The
substitute was invented by A. C. De-
Villiers, an attorney and a company
has been formed to manufacture it.
The formula is kept a closely guarded
secret.

ST. JONES CREEK LEBANON TO
DELAWARE BAY TO Be OPENED
sen. DUPONT RECEIVES WORD
FROM MAJOR BEACH OF PLAN
$4,000 To Be Spent On Adequate
Channel For Dover Water Way
To Bay For Kent Shippers

10 bay For kent Shippers
Senator I. Coleman dupont Thurs
day received word that his efforts for
the deepening of the channel of st.
Jones River which extends from Do
yer to the Delaware Bay, have met
with success and that deepening of
that waterway from Lebanon to the
Bay will be started as soon as a con-
tract can be entered into. This culmi-
mates twenty-five years effort of
various Senators from Delaware to
have st. Jones River adequately deep
ened, and Senator DUPONT, who took
up the project as legacy from form
er Senator Josiah o. Wolcott was
gratified Thursday when he was in
formed by Major General Lansing H.
Beach, Chief of Engineers of the
United States Army, that improve
ment of the river as far as Lebanon,
an important shipping point for farm
ers near Dover, will be started with
out delay. Senator dupont is hopeful
that further appropriation may be
obtained for Strengthening and deep
ening the river to the State Capital.
Senator dupont, who had worked
quietly on the project, said he felt the
improvement of the river would be
welcome news to residents of Kent
county. When asked about the pro-
posed improvement of the river, Sena-
tor DUPONT said, that Senator Wolcott
on his retirement from the Senate had
turned over to him the project for i'm
proving and dredging the St. Jones
river, Senator Wolcott remarking at
the time that practically every Sena-
tor for twenty-five years had tried to
get the Government to dredge the
stream sufficiently to provide an ade-
quate channel. Senator Wolcott dur
ing his term had arranged for the
Strengthening of part of the river
The late Senator Anthony Higgins
first took up the project in the Senate
more than 25 years ago.
Give me the papers and | will see
what can be done," Senator dupont
told Senator Wolcott and since then he
has quietly worked on the project at
Washington, Thursday he received a
letter from General Beach, Chief of
Engineers, with whom he had been
comforting about the st. Jones river
channel deepening, which read as fol-
lows.
81 take pleasure in informing you
that an allotment of 100000 for the
improvement of the St. Jones River
was made from the funds provided for
river and harbor work in the War De-
partment Appropriation Act of June
30, 1922. This sum, with funds pre-
viously available, is believed sufficient
for the completion of a channel to
Lebanon.
GAS the Government has no dredge
available for the execution of the
work, it is intended to advertise it for
execution by contract. The district
engineer is preparing the maps neces-
sary for the information of intending
bidders, and as soon as these are COM
pleted the work will be advertised.
am in hopes that a reasonable bid will
be received, so that the work may be
soon proceeded with"

WANT HIGHWAY THRU DOVER
Many Dover Citizens Signed Petition
To State Highway Commission

MANY DONeF OlllLeHS SlBneQ feLltlOn
To State Highway Commission
In an effort to have the connecting
link of the dupont Boulevard come
through the town of Dover, a petition
is being circulated throughout the
town and has received many signers
thus far. AS soon as the town has
been completely canvassed with the
petition, it will be forwarded to the
State Highway Commission for their
consideration. The petition does not
ask that it come through any particu-
lar street of the town just so it comes
through the town. The petition was
started as result of a conference of
a group of citizens prior to the Cham
ber of Commerce meeting in the Rob-
bins Hose Company building last
Thursday evening week. w. Edward
Haman was selected to head a COM
mittee to circulate the petition and he
soon secured a group of about twenty
five assistants. The reasons for hav-
ing it come through the town as set
forth in the petition are, low cost of
construction, it would bring more peo-
pie through Dover and thereby help
the town and its business interests.
Those in charge of circulating the
petition are hoping to have their work
completed this week and will have the
petition ready for presentation at ar
early date.

NEW SILK MILL FOR MILFORD
Company Has Bought Ground and is
Erecting Buildings For the Plant


Milford is all agog over the pros
pect of having a silk mill. Present in
dications seem very bright. Several
concerns have been making overtures
to Milford people, with the object of
locating a mill there for the manufac-
ture of artificial silk. Now a COM
pany has purchased land and the erec-
tiOn of buildings is taking place. The
concern locating there is known as
the Cellulose Product Co., of Marcus
Hook, Pa. 1t is Incorporated under
the laws of Delaware. The company
claims to have an improved way of
manufacturing artificial silk. Its rep
resentatives were given a hearing by
the Milford Chamber of Commerce,
several months ago. The chamber ex-
pressed a willingness to erect a fac
tory at stipulated cost and loan it
to the company free of rent for two
years, at the expiration of which time
other arrangements would be made
This proposition fell through, but a
number in Milford kept the general
subject alive.
Among the most persistent was DR..
Evans Roberts who circulated petit
I tions among the town and country
folk, getting hundreds of signers who
pledged their moral support to the
cause. This was presented to the in
corporators and they have finally de-
cided to make Milford the site. They
have purchased a tract of land along
the Mispillion river bordering on the
eastern edge of town. The site con-
tains about fifteen acres. This they
have bought outright and are now at
work constructing concrete buildings.
The present structure will be utilized
to temporarily locate the machinery,
after which larger building will be
constructed. The company, the di-
rectors state, expects to commence op-
erations in a small way and gradually
expand.
