Five Ribbons to Be Awarded
Winner at Elaborate
Exhibition
MANY FANCIERS
SEND THEIR COOPS

In connection with the poultry dis
play at the Delaware State Fair
which begins next Monday at Els
mere and continues for five days, the
exhibit OF pigeons which will be in
charge OF Aug. F. Wahls. will pro-
vide an attractive display for those
lovers OF the feathered tribe whose
preference is this breed OF winged
creatures.
According to the regulations five
ribbons will be awarded in all classes
worthy of honor, but no honors will
be bestowed on unworthy specimens.
In the competition classes will be
provided for both cock and hen in
old birds but the younger birds must
compete in one class.
The competition has been divided
into the following classes; carriers,
runts. mondaines. pouters, pigmy
pouters. cropper, jacobins, dragons,
show homers, exhibition working
homers, short faced tumblers, long
faced clean legged tumblers. muffled
tumblers. tipplers, parlor tumblers.

angles, helmets. starlings, nuns,
English owls, African owls, tailed
owls. Chinese owls. oriental frills.
turbits. crescents, quakers, ice
pigeons, antwerps, suabins, barbs.

maltese hen pigeons. Hungarian hen
pigeons, white kings, Polish lynx,
cumulets, straussers, carneau
duchess, priets. Hollanders, shield.
The same regulations that govern
the pigeon classes will control the
displays OF pet stock.
There are upwards OF forty dif-
ferent varieties OF classifications for
rabbits. In some parts Of Delaware
rabbits or hares are raised for the
market obtained In the Metropolitan
districts and an effort is being made
this year to have a larger showing
than usual of the animals which af-
ford splendid food value at times
when other meats and game are not
so plentiful.
In the cavies classes, separate
Glasses have been provided for Eng
lish Abyssian and Peruvian cavies.
The premium list includes a dozen
varieties. Just as with the hog ex-
hibits, the rabbits show will be an in

ington OF the lives of ships saved by
this service. But incidents are re-
membered by officials wherein lack
of suoh service would have meant
further destruction of lives and
property.
The iceberss floating down from
the north usually cross the main
ocean liners lane between America
and Europe. Further Titanic dis
asters are prevented by radio flashes
OF the position. course and rate of
drift OF such obstacles.
Other Services
In connection with other ship
service. radio Is just as important.
Last year, officials OF the u. S. Ship
ping Board say, more than 500 ves-
sells flashed distress signals and
nearly 200 were towed TO port by
arrangements made by radio.
AT one time the radio apparatus
OF the Western Hero" u. s,
shipping Board vessel. got out OF
order. For two weeks she was
lost" She was found" only after
her radio set had been repaired.
The radio officer OF a cargo ship
died, and the ship sailed without
waiting for a replacement. Running
this way. without radio, the ship
rammed an iceberg in the northern
transatlantic lane. Repairs cost
$4,000.
Had this ship had the use Of her
radio. she would have picked up the
messages of the u. S. Coast Guard
cutter on iceberg patrol. or the
warnings of the Naval Hydrogra-
PHO Office. and would have steered
clear of the obstruction.

WASHINGTON, d. C.--The one
place On earth where radio is real
serious business is at sea.
There entertainment by radio
phone is only secondary TO the great
cause Of preventing loss Of lives by
drowning. Saving ships from de-
struction al-o comes ahead of the
radio concert from some land sta
tion. For on the water. radio is the
only means by which one ship can
call another for help.
What brought fome to shipping
officials the real Importance OF radio
ut sea was the Titanic disaster.
Evening journal., 1922-08-29

when that giant liner struck an ice
berg in the night Of April ID, 1912.
This calamity resulted in a confer
enoe of maritime nations on the
problem Of preventing further loss
at sea, not only from icebergs but
from any other causes.
Iceberg Patrol
Immediately thereafter an iceberg
patrol was established by these ma
tions. This patrol is under the con-
troll OF the United States Coast
Guard Service. but all the other ma
tlons that took part in the confer
ence contribute toward its main

construction such as we have here
from Sage Creek, 1t is proposed to
use wire wound inserted Joint pipe
for the collection system. For the
main line 1t Is proposed to use con-
tinuous wood stave pipe.s Since creo-
soting has come into use the Wood
Pipe Companies have developed
large ~creosoting plants.
Life of CreOsOted Pipe
Decay in wood is the result of the
action of certain low forms OF plant
life called fungi. These fungi con-
sist Of very fine thread-like fila
ments which penetrate the wood in
all directions. Certain substances
in the wood constitute the food of
these fungi and as these substances
are dissolved the structure is broken
down until the wood reaches the
condition commonly known as rot
ten. The seed of the fungi are SO
small that they are able to float
long distances in the air, and when
n drops into a crack or crevice in a
piece of wood, and conditions are
favorable, it terminates and the
fungus begins its destructive action.
The four requirements for growth
Of fungi or the decay of wood are:
air. moisture. favorable temperature
and food. To prevent decay it Is
necessary TO deprive the fungus OF
II or of these four require
ments. In case the wood is continu-
ally saturated with water as in the
case of a pipe stave. or an under
ground structure, the wood is de-
prived of air; the fungus cannot
thrive and the wood does not rot. In
general, however. the most effective
way of preventing decay is to poison
The food supply of the fungus, and
upon this principle is based the use
of successful wood preservatives.
Wood Preservation
This principle was recognized in
England as early as 1855. In that
year a fence surrounding the work
of Burt. Boulton and Haywood, Ltd,
Prince Regents Wharf, London Eng
land. was built using creosotad Baltic
Pine fence posts. This fence is still
standing and in thoroughly service
able condition after fifty-four years
of use. A specimen of mi of these
fence posts Is in the works of the
Pacific Creosoting Company of Seat
tie. There are also on exhibit at the
Plant of the Pacific Creosoting Com
pany. specimens of creOsoted railway
ties, also of Baltic Pine, laid on the

:. Modern timber preservation In
this country may be considered IS be-
ginning in 1875, when . creosoting
plant was erected 1t West Pascagoula,
Mississippi, for the treatment OF
bridge timbers by the Louisville and
Nashville Railway Company. All the
timber used in the construction of
the bridge which spans Lake Pom
chartraip was creosoted at this plant
and is still In sound condition after
about forty years of service. w. H.
Courtenay. Chief Engineer Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railway
Company, concludes from an examin-
alton of $4,000 lineal feet of creo-
soted trestle on the Louisville and
Nashville main line, the Lake Pom
chartrain bridge, the 1900 feet of
trestle across Escambia Bay on the
Pensacola and Atlantic Division, and
the innumerable installations of ties
and piles, all of which. structures
have been installed from 1873 to
date, that, Properly creosoted tim
Der will he sound thirty years after
it has been placed" This estimate
takes into account the failure of the
timber structurally, which in rail
road ties is the criterion of life rath-
er than rot.
The U. s. Forest Service OF the
Department Of Agriculture is re-
sponsible for the statement that
Douglas fir properly creosoted will
never decay. This is supported by a
statement Of DIR. Van Schrenk, of the
firm Won Schrenk and Kammerer,
consulting timber engineers, St.
Louis. Missouri. that when. "All
treatable wood particularly all sap
wood is penetrated with a high grade
coal tar creosote, such wood should
last indefinitely. In fact. We have
yet to see any timber treated accord
ing to these specifications which
shows any sign OF decay whatsoever"
