The luXuries of today are the
necessities of tomorrow. This
is realized when a disaster, such
as a flood, temporarily cuts off
electric lights, street cars, gas,
pipe, water and phone service.
Many now living can recall when
these services were curiOsities
of the laboratory. AS they came
gradually into use, they could
be afforded only by the wealthy.
Now they are within reach of
nearly everybody. They are
necessities today, formerly lux

themselves have formed such a

plans for the future extension
of these commerce defences
which will result in time in a
safe harbor in which the navies
of the world might find safe an

inviting to the conversion of
Lewes into a great maritime

tai essential to success. More
than half a century ago start
in the desired direction was,
made by the establishment of a
steamship line between Lewes
and New York, which proved
quite a boon to Sussex county
farmers in affording direct and
cheap transportation to the New
York City markets for their pro-
duce. But railroad competition
made this venture prOfitless af-
ter few years and the enter
prise was abandoned.
"Still those with faith in the
future dreamed of the day when
Lewes would become a great
commercial port. Now they are
confronted with another direct
proposition that has this end in
view. 1t is still in the fOrma-
tive stage, and it is not possible
to make any predictions as to its
fate. AS usual, there are glow
ing visions of success, of en-
couraging beginnings and splen-
did expansions, of a utilization
of facilities at hand for all the
accessories of large and profit

by steamship to the uttermost
