poets to make his winter quarters and

the story of an arctic winter, describ-
ing in detail the hardships Of the ex-
ploring party from week to week,
as has never been done before on any
expedition into the polar regions.
The cabin entrances to the Bow
doin are to be covered by Eskimo
snow houses. While members Of the
party are confined in their ice en-
closed quarters, they expect to be en-
tertained with broadcast music from
home, relieving the monotony Of six
months of darkness. The hardships
of an arctic trip, the constant battle
with the cold, the ice foes accom-
panied by the uncertainty of drifting
into unknown waters, are not nearly
so difficult to contend with as the
thought of being cut off from the
world.

DEVASTATED FRANCE is ALMOST
RUCTED-WONDER OF
THE WORLD

Paris CA. P.) = OF devastated
France, it may be said today that,
due in no small measure to the logged
fortitude and tenacity of its returned
inhabitants, the area has safely passed
the crisis in it's recovery from the
wounds suffered through more than
four years of systematic destruction
According to estimates of various
reconstruction agencies the end of
next year, if all goes well, should
see this vast sore in the side of
France practically healed with the ex-
ception, of course, Of some of the
cathedrals and other historic monu-
ments which never can be replaced.
A general idea of how the work is
progressing may be had from the fact
that 553,977 of the TAI 1898 dwelling
houses which were crumbled by can
non have now been completely re-
stored. Other forms of reconstruc-
ton are going forward, and in less
than five years after the greatest mill
tary struggle the world has ever seen,
more than 100000 Of the 100000
terror-stricken people who fed from
the German invader are back on the
soil they love and are beginning to
catch a glimpse Of normal, undis-
turbed contentment. While the world
talks of reparations and the political
aspects of the occupation Of the Ruhr,
these weather-hardened refugees are
plugging away from sun to sun to re-
store their cottages and replant their
gardens

grees of the top of the world.
Donald B. Macmillan, eminent arctic
explorer, on his last expedition tt
the far north in 1921 brought The
white mans country to the Eskimo
He did this by means Of motion pic
lures. When he showed the queer
little people of Baffin land pictures
of Fifth avenue, they exclaimed, Oh

Since then new science has been de-
veloped-that of the radio phone

polar regions next fall, he will say
to these people, Listen to the white
men talk"
Mr.. Macmillan will be accompanied
on his seventh expedition to the arctic
by an expert radio amateur provided
by the American Radio Relay League.
On visit to the A.R.RL. headquar-
tiers at Hartford, Conn, when he con-
ferred with Hiram Percy Maxim, pre-
sident, Mr. Macmillan said. will
try to communicate with American
amateurs at least once each week,
whenever it is possible to get mess
age through" His vessel the Bow
doin was equipped with receiving
set on the 1921 expedition and he
succeeded at that time in hearing Ar
lington time signals at - o'clock
noon and 10 o'clock at night. He
had no operator with him and was
therefore unable to receive messages
from the States. This time he will
have regenerative receiving set and
a continuous wave transmitter. With
this equipment the explorer expects
to penetrate the streamers and fila
ments Of the aurora and cover easily
the 1000 odd miles from the vicinity
of the pole itself.
Every move of the expedition, from
the time it leaves Boothbay, Me-, I'M
til it arrives at the most northern ex-
tremity of the trip, will be followed
by radio amateurs and newspaper
readers throughout the country. A
story of about 500 words in length,
telling of the progress of the Mac
MILAN party, will be sent each week
by the amateur operator on the Bow
doin. Thousands of amateurs will
listen for these messages from the
polar regions and news dispatches
will be relayed by A.R-R.L. members
for distribution in the daily press.
Members of the exploring party will
keep in touch constantly with friends
at home and these messages also will
be relayed by the A.RR.L. operating
During his VISIT to Hartford Mr..
was invited to inspect Mr..
radfo station IA w With
which he expects to communicate from
the arctic next winter. Mr.. Maxim'S
station has been heard by amateurs
In Europe and he is confident, that
with his 500 watt transmitter, he will
be able to talk with the operator on
the polar ship near Baffin land. And
the Eskimo may have an opportunity
to listen to a strange new language
that Of the international Morse code
Tor the first time.

SsO,OOO,OOO ELECTRIC PLANT
Huge Hydro Electric Project on Ches-

Huge Hydro Electric Project on Ches-
apeake at COnOwingO to be Built
Plans are fast being developed for
building an immense hydro-electric
power plant on the Susquehanna river
near Conowingo, Md. A preliminary
permit has been granted by the Fed
eral power commission at Washington
The project for harnessing the river
includes a dam 80 feet high and the
plant is expected to develop 100000
horsepower. The cost is estimated at
between S2O,OOO,OOO and $30,0OO,OOO.
Not only will it be necessary to build
an immense plant, but the Columbia
and Port Deposit Railroad will have
to be moved, as the present roadbed
will be submerged by the great body
of water that will be impOunded.'
Work of a preliminary nature has
been in progress more than year.
Actual construction will be started
early next year. A large number OF
farms have been bought. The site
for the proposed plant is about nine
miles south of the hydrO-electric de-
velopment known as the McCalP'
Ferry plant The officers of the Sps
ouehanna Power Company are George
S. Bullock, of New York, president
E. c. Counette, New York, vice-presi
dent; James A. McKenna, secretar,

AND WILL RUN ROAD TO WHARF
Citizens of Lewes and RehObOth Boom
Project and Go Over ROute.-Miles
Will be Saved; Big Trade Opener

The first move toward launching
the project for a Lewes-Cape May |
ferry line was made Saturday when |
four highway commissioners, repre-
sentatives of the company which pro-
poses operating the NJ, D., and V.
Railroad and citizens of Lewes and
Rehoboth crossed the proposed route
on the pilot boat, philadelphia" AS
a result all the people present pledged
their assistance to the project, in ad-
dition to the following improvements
connected with the ferry plan: Build
ing of road leading off the road be-
tween Harbeson and Lewes to RehO-
both, with a start on the work this
winter, instead of waiting until next
spring. Completion of the road from
Front street, Lewes, to Bay Shore and
tidc-water, which is little more than
half a mile. Advocating the continu-
ance of the NJ, D., and V. Railroad
by the independent Baltimore syndi-
cate headed by Jesse ROsenfeld, the
promoter. Resolutions favoring all
these projects, as stated were adopt
ed and DR.. Hugh w. Hooker, who was
4 chairman of the committee, was auth
orized to appoint one committee for
each of the two highway projects OF
five members each, including residents
of Rehoboth and Lewes. The trip
through the hafbor carried the pass
engers close to Cape May but no stoI
was made there. Luncheon was serv-
ed aboard the boat. Captain Arthur
Connell, in charge of the pilot boat
proved a popular commander. Th'
committees in charge will at once be
gin laying plans to have the proJec
started. Enthusiasm marked tn
meeting and it was the cOncensus o
opinion that the lOng-sought ferr,
would soon be a reality. With a ce

FINAL CANAL CONTRACTS OUT
Baltimore and New York Companies
To Finish Work on ID. & c. Waterway

Contracts for completing the
dredging and widening of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal, cutting
a new entrance at Delaware City |
and improving the entrance at Ches- |
apeake City, have been awarded to
the Arundel Corporation, Baltimore,
and the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
Company, N. Y. These two compan-
les, on August 2, presented the lowest
bids for the work required. Approx
mately 100000 cubic yards of earth
are to be removed under these latest
contracts, making grand total of
about 14,OO0,00O taken out along the
waterway as a whole. Estimated cost
Of the work to be performed under
the contracts just let is $1,2OO,OOO in
rough figures. The Arundel Corpora
ton will do the work of dredging a
section of the canal about miles in
length, from the 12-foot curve of the
Delaware river to the st. Georges
| lock. About three miles of this dis
tance from the Delaware river to
"Wide Waters" along the new line, is
tide level work; along the remaining
two miles the water of the canal is
at an elevation and dredging plants
too wide to pass the Delaware City
lock will have to lock into the canal
at "Wide Waters" by a cofferdam at
the expense of the contractor. This
work is known as Section A. The
Arundel Corporation bid was 1873
cents per cubic yard. The second
contract, which has been awarded to
the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Com
panv, is divided into two sections
known as Section and Section ID
Section B extends from point JUS

TOMATO CANNING SEASON ON
J.H. HOffecker Canning Company Add
To Their Force Besides Installing
Newly Invented Peeling Machine

Newly Invented Peeling Machine
Tomotoes are coming on and this
week will see the starting up of to-
mato canneries in this locality. Down
the State, some canperies started last
week and the prospect is for fairly
big crop all through Delaware. The
canning houses in Smyrna and Clay
ton are the largest in this vicinity
and start up this year with improved
facilities. The John H. Hoffecker
Canning Company not to be caught
with the labor shortage which so
much harrassed them last year, have
imported 60 or 65 women and men
from Marion, near Crisfeld, Md. They
arrived Monday and took possession
of the newly built operators quarters
at corner of South and Fisher streets.
These shacks are all ready and paint
ed and provided with sixteen apart
ments with sleeping quarters in
each. Besides the sleeping quart
ers there is one large cooking
shed, where they can cook their meals
With this help in addition to their
home labor of a like amount they will
be able to operate the plant up to its
capacity The Hoffeckers have added
to their equipment this year Ma
tional Tomato Peeling Machine which
is a great invention besides being a
labor saver. The machine peels the
tomatoes as fast as they can be car
ried to it. This machine alone will
save about forty per cent. in labor
With the new conditions surrounding
this old established plant the Hotfeck-
ers under normal crop conditions will
. be able to pack 1000 baskets day
an increase of 25 per cent. over their
old method. The Fooks Cannery at
Clayton, operated by the Clayton Co
operative Association, an outgrowth
