BRIEFS

Help yourself by helping others
who are willing, to help you.
Keep moving forward. Everything
behind has been picked clean.
Life is full of joy to those who are
willing to forget their sorrows.
Why should we refer to them as
Jazz hounds? Most of them are only
pups.
Never threaten to lick the fellow
who calls you bad names. Do it in
stead.
Another disappointment. Skirts are
getting into the price class and are
coming down.
If the joke is on you the other fell
low won't do half the laughing if YOU
tell it yourself.
The most exciting moment in
climbing the ladder of fortune is
when it begins to break.
The most remarkable thing about
an election is the rapidity with which
we forget the rottenness that crops
out.
Many fellow puts a diamond ring
on girls finger during courtship
and a washtub in front of her after
marriage.
Red headed girls of the country are
up in arms because a Boston critic
claims they all have crooked legs.
We're from Missouri.

canal MONEY
SEEMS CERTAIN
Conference Not Expected
to Change $2,5OO,O0o
Appropriation
HOPE TO WIDEN
WATERWAY SOON

Word from Washington today IN
dicates the Army bill, carrying $780,
100000, which was passed by the
Senate last Friday afternoon. and
which contains an item OF s2,5oo,0OO
for Transforming the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal into a sea level
ship canal OF large size, IS expected
to get through conference without
| difficulty and soon will be signed by
President Harding.
While the Senate raised total ap-
priations in the bill as fixed by the
House. It did not make any changes
in the rivers and harbors items. This
measure applies only to continuing
projects" that is, projects which al
ready are under way.
Colonel Earl /. Brown, United
States engineer for the Wilmington
district. today expressed much salts
faction at the progress of the bill
and is making active plans 10 extend
the operations now being carried on
along the canal as soon as the Presi-
dent approves the act.
Plans for deepening and broaden
ing the canal have very largely been
prepared and Colonel Brown is hope
full OF getting much work done be-
fore bad weather sets in next fall.
The Army bill has nothing TO do
with the appropriation OF s630.O00
for improving Wilmington Harbor.
This item is contained in the Rivers
vrrf.f f-t4
system now in vogue in Congress,
only gives authority for new pro-
jects An appropriation bill will
then give the Secretary Of War a
Jump sum sufficient TO cover the
projects thus authorized, and leave
It to the discretion Of the secretary
which projects shall be continued
and how much shall be expended
on them.
As the work Of dredgipg the har-
Dor and constructing an extension Of
the Marine Terminal quay from the
present lower end on the south bank
OF the Christiana 70 its junction with
the Delaware, has been approved by
the board OF engineers of the War
Department, It Is confidently thought
the secretary will allot sufficient
funds for the work.
Colonel Brown said he was anx-I
ious TO tackle the harbor project as
promptly as possible so as 10 pro-
vide a deeper channel and a turning
basin by the time the Marine Termi-
nal is ready for vessels. Present
are that the Terminal
will be ready for shipping by the
first Of next January. The dredge
Mlnquas is now operating in the
Christiana river both night and day.
more dredges will be brought
here for the harbor work as soon as
the money is appropriated for It.
It Is estimated by Colonel Brown
that approximately three million
cubic yards OF earth will have to be
dredged 20 give a channel Of 25-foot
depth and provide a turning basin in
the river opposite the terminal that
will enable vessels TO enter and de-
part without difficulty. The present
crook or turn at the mouth OF the
Christiana also will be straightened,
20 afford vessels an easy passageway
from the Delaware 70 the Christiana
and vice versa.
