ject Will coordinate. In conclusion
he raid the canal will provide fast
land for Industrial Improvement and
will be place where the State can
Invite industries TO locate.
Sees Use For Canals
Mr.. Harrington was the next
speaker and he told how the de-
velopment OF mechanical power. the
railroads and steamboats, had taken
the place OF canal transportation
except in few instances. He said
however. that the time IS coming
when much OF the freight will be
handled by canal transportation.
The development OF the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal he remarked Is
an example OF what Is going TO take
place IN the future. He also spoke
OF the development OF the hard
surface roads as a good thing and
said they have q real place IN the
transportation system OF the country.
Mr.. Harrington explained the
bridges. that will span the canal the
plans and specifications for which
were prepared by him. There will
be six large bridges. three OF the
vertical lift type and three OF the
bascule type.
The one At Chesapeake city he
said would be the largest OF the
six and Il will he OF the critical
type. Others will be located at
summit. ST. Georges. the new cutoff
and Delaware City. The bridges
will be built 20 care for the future
as well as the present and will be
modern quick action and most serv-
iceable type.
Warns Against Tar Burden
Mr.. Finley, IN his opening re-
marks said that he felt probably IN
a different way IN approaching the
subject OF the canal than did the
other two speakers as Delaware is
his native State and the canal is
interviewer with his boyhood reeol- /
lections. He said ne was born at
Delaware City and could remember /
as a boy how he watched the boats
being locked through.
Mr.. Finley Said that he believed .
that whatever Is accomplished IN F.
life IL largely the outgrowth Of boy |
hood dreams. There IS where we
make our estimate OF things" he
said, which may be exaggerated At I
the time but In afterwards carried }
out" I
The speaker said there e moth .
Ing IN the development OF the whole 4
human race that has meant more .
than transportation. The advance
ment Of country Il largely the !
history OF 10 transportation lie .
said in his opinion waterways, both
artificial and natural. Will play an
important part IN the future devel-
opment OF lthe country. THE he
said. is an area OF canal building.
Mr.. Finley cited how the Panama
canal was a dream for years; how
4 noted French engineer failed and
now a United States Army Engineer
succeeded and welded together the
irearns OF the world
This country he said. mas the
most magnificent waterway system
he world has ever known.
The only danger now IS that we
nrny push waterway, development

,etuosity We may develop these

HEALTH HOBBIES
WHAT'S YOURSp
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON

F'ads and fancies in foods and fast
ing, come and go like the seasons.
Every once in while some new
idea on how and what to eat te
make you strong, wise or beautiful
sprouts in the brain of someone with
food lobby. Many of us at once
proceed to try to carry it out to the
best OF our eating ability.
All that is necessary to be we'll and
healthy, and do life's work at its
happy medium, is to use little COM
mon sense and let hobbies and fads
go their way.
The scientist and physician are
pretty good guides to follow in all
matters pertaining to normal health,
and what to use to the best advantage
as real, body building and sustaining
foods.
For instance, there is the going
without breakfast hobby. 1t may be,
as has been stated in this column,
that thousands of people eat too
much, but nourishing breakfast is
sure cure for crouch and a neces-
sary meal for those who toll and spin.
The hot water fad Is another
water internally. externally and eter-
nally. We all admit the value of
water, but hot water as a beverage
has no real value, and it is best to
use it as little as possible.
Sour milk is another hobby. 1t

sweet Potatoes

SWEET potatoes have played quite q
important a part in the making Of
American history as beans, Men have
fought many a good night for our
country on the energy produced by
these sugar spuds."
The fact that sweet natatoes con-
tain a large amount OF sugar makes
them quick energy producing food.
Compared with Irish potatoes. the
food value II higher In fat but lower
in protein. higher In carbohydrates
but lower In water.
II sweet potatoes are served In a
dressed-up fashion the dessert should
be plain fruit OF some sort, Sweet
potatoes themselves made delicious
desserts and are served as such In
many instances.
This sweet potato dessert will rival
"marron glace" mixture and cost
about one-fourth ms much.

he could. Now and then he heard
among the odd cries of the circus ami.
mails. a plaintive moo which he knew
must come from the COW. In fact he
sometimes thought he heard the cal
of more than one COW. There seemed
to be two different COW voices.
II believe" he finally said 70
Bramble the Bear. there are two
cows in the show"
But Bramble told him with a grin
that he was mistaken.
She's lonely. anyhow" Cuffy re-
marked. "One of those moos is more
mournful than the other. Probably
that's because she sometimes feels
specially homesick."
Well. Cuffy's chance TO talk with
the COW came at last. One day he
found himself tethered to a fence
post at one end of the circus lot.
where several Of the led stock were
enjoying sun bath. And there was
the COW! she was red COW. She

She was a handsome creature.
There wasn't white spot on her, so
far as Cuffy could see. He wondered
whether she looked just the same on
the other side.
How do you like travelling with
the show" he asked the red dame.
She swallowed her cud hastily be-
fore speaking.
Il find it very pleasant, thank you"
she replied.
And then another voice. almost
