CANAL LOCKS

81 have one more story to tell" said
Daddy, about canal locks, and those
readers who are q little too young to
care for such stories | ash to he pa
tient, for I've had such eager requests
for a story or so about canals and
their ways!
For the o part | always try TO
have stories which will be enjoyed by
all-stories not too young and not too
Did. But just this n more canal
story I am now going to tell!
81 have been asked how ii Is that
the locks, in which the boats go as
they are IN their way up a canal, are
kept from Overlooking.
"Thev are kept from this by waste
lakes and the water runs back into
the main river. These locks through
which we went on my canal trip are
fOrty-five feet wide. There is always
some water in the lock because there
Is always a certain amount of water
below the level of the out-take and in
take valves.
From a narrow canal one ap
proaChes a lock. 1t is a small space
there is just room enough. II seems,
for our boat. The gates are opened
and IN we go, and then the gates are
closed. And we are locked In o very
snug and tight-fitting kind Of pen.
after the pilot gets us in a lock
we stay there until enough water has
flowed in so we can rise up to the
height of the neX canal.
''Then we go out into the canal. Why
can't they keen the waite in so the
boats would not have to go through
this waiting every time. | wondered.
The answer was apparent enough
When a boat going downstream passed
out Of one of the locks the water nat
uraIfy rushed out, too.
at was exactly as though we were
going up a very gradual flight of steps.
Our irregular course had been made
so as to folIow the least billy canal
route possible.
in the distance we saw the differ
ent rapids, blue and sparkling and
dashing and twisting and turning In
the afternoon sunlight. And we were
going so slowly along because these
rocks of nature which made the rap,
ids, forced men to use their wits or
else give up inland navigation where
they were!
$50 slowly we went along. Ii was
almost like an old-time drive along
a country road. On either side of us

them. We passed other boats. II
didn't seem as though there could be
room for us. but there was. They nat
urally knew what they were doing!
"At night the canals we're lighted,
and it was like going through Fairy
land In a big boat. 1t seemed so mag
ical that one would not have been sur
prised at anything!
ut took ten hours longer TO go along
the canal route than it would to go
down the river where one could shoot
the rapids. The rapids have certainly
shown they were the one in authority.
"Yet there is something very splen-
did, too, about mans power in not al
lowing nature to get the better Of
him For these canals were built
along a river which Is filed with rap
ids, and which could not b much used
had 1t not been for what man has
done.
"We travelled later past many won
derful islands Of all sizes, but / kept
thinking of canals and locks and of
big boats which could go only through
a canal route because where there are
rapids big boats cannot 80 and shoot
them, because of the amount of water
they draw.
And | do not believe / will ever
forget stopping for oil by the side of
the canal was going to say by the
side Of the road. for II seemed just
like that.
"And we passed by many boys who
dove for us In the canal waters.
Splendid dives we did see!
$50 now whenever the word canal
Is spoken ! think of my trip where we
were rising up and up and keeping
even with a river bed and of sailing
through green meadows In the brilliant
afternoon sunshine.
"Of course I have only gone along
the canals and locks In one part of
the country, but I advise any n who
ever has a chance to take a canal
trip TO do so, for the experience Is
very interesting and the sensation Of
being on a boat which rises up along
a river bed through a system of locks
Is amazing TO say the least.

FARMERS BENEFIT BY
GOOD ROADS

1t is apparent that the world was
not made safe for democracy by
waging war. 1t should be apparent
that roads can not be made safe
for pedestrians or motorists by
waging war against the latter by
prohibitive speed regulations or
drastic police rulings.
The motor car and truck have
come to stay. They have come to
stay because they save time, make
speed. Eliminate the speed and the
time-saving from motor cars and
men would go back to horses.
If the speed and the time-saving
result in maimings and killings; if
accidents and injuries follow the
use of trucks on highways, then
some other remedy must be found
than will destroy the very factors of
these instruments of transportation
which make them vital to our mo-
dern life.
The answer is plain; most people
who have studied the question see
it, and many acknowledge it. But it
IS not much talked about, because,
forsooth, the politicians breads to
say anything which may be con-
strued as advocating more taxes,
spending more money. Had the poll
t'cian of twenty years ago advised
farmers to spend five hundred or a
thousand dollars for new team
to save time. he would have been
defeated for office!

Latest Thing In
Automobiles

One of the most significant facts
in the announcement by Buick this
week of its Standard Six models is
that Buick will remain in the class
of builders of moderate price cars
Speculation was rife previous to
this announcement as to the likelihood
of Bucks bringing out car thai
would be considerably higher in
price than an it had produced be-
fore-a car that might be COM
petitor in what is known as the
exclusive "fine car" field.
Those who have followed Buick
history carefully, however, were
more or less prepared for the launch
ing Of this new car which is taken
to be good evidence Buick will not
retire from this division of the six
cylinder field it has dominated for
go many years. One reason, perhaps,
why this rumor persisted so strong
ly was because Buick was first
among the large volume producers
to equip it's cars with four wheel
brakes as it did a year ago and
likewise to introduce many other
improvements of chassis and lines
all of which gave its cars greater
value.
A careful inspection of the Stand
ard Six models shows even the lay
man that they are Buick through
and through-with the same type of
engine, of clutch and rear axle
that have contributed so much to
Bucks record of performance for
so many seasons. With these models
it is evident that Buick is providing
at lesser price than has been in
effect since the war, a Buick six
cylinder car that will record even
greater performance accomplish
ments than were reported from the
cars of that time. In addition to
four wheel brakes these new cars
have many other outstanding fea-
lures that contribute to their res
ponsiveness at the wheel and their
work on the road.
That Buick is not blind to the en-
thusiastic reception its large six
cylinder cars have received during
the past year may be seen from
the line of Master Six models which
likewise are on display this weel;
for the first time. Comment seems
to be that these cars will prove
the stiffest kind of competition Cor
all manufacturers in the upper ror-
ton of the six cylinder field. (Adv.)

TOWNSHIP ROAD
TO BE REPAIRED

The Delaware Township Commit
tee, at its meeting last Saturday at
Sergeantsville, named Melvin Lutes
as supervisor of the road extending
from the white bridge, at the Lam
bertville city line, to the bridge at
John Cray's, near Dilts' Corner, and
the branch off from the top of the
hill to the BrookvilIe road.
The Dilts' Corner road is in bad
shape, due to the deep holes caused
by the frost in the winter and the
continued rains this spring and sum-
mer. 1t is planned to fill these
places with stone as soon as possible
after which the gradual improvement
of the whole road will be under
taken.
In Delaware as well as other near
by townships the greatest trouble
with the dirt roads this Spring has
been the holes. Roads will be in
fairly good shape over -tenths of
route, but several scattered holes
provide a steady supply of mud and
bad conditions for automobile traf-
fic-and that constitutes most of
the traffic, even on back country
roads these days.
Delaware Township is applying a
coating of stone to the road leading
from Sergeantsville to Headquar-
tiers at the present time, portable
crusher being used. Later the road
leading ont of Sergeantsville to the
Sandy Ridge road, near j. Bowne's,
will be similarly coated.
