OLD CANAL, DELAWARE CITY
Employees of Government Have
Taken Steps to Widen IL

Government employees who have
been working for the past week or
so around the mouth of the Della
ware City branch canal have done
much to .beautify the appearance
of the canal entrance. All the old
piling that formed part of
wharf and canning factory that
stood on the site a great many
years ago have been pulled out so
that now there are no projections
in the water or mud at that point
at all. The old timbers and piling
have been piled up along the canal
bank and the wood is being given
away to those who will come and
get 1t. The wood is watersoaked
and some Of it is rotten but it will
make good stove wood when dried
out little. During the past few
days quite a bit of It has been
hauled away by local residents.
The main benefit derived from re-
moving the old piling, however, is
that the mouth of the canal has
been increased in width from so to
80 feet. Heretofore the mouth has
been only so feet with a six foot
depth. After the Mantua dredges
in the mouth the width will be 90
feet. The little island between the
new canal mouth and the old stone
lock wall which was part of the
old lock, is being ripraped by gov
eminent employees. The southern
end of the island has been complet-
ed and the men are now working
on the longer eastern side. Stones
have been placed in symmetrical
order, sloping from the top of the

|CURB SHARES GAIN
AT SHORT SESSION
Trading Continues in Small
Volume, With Utilities
in Demand.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-Led BY
the utilities, curb stocks ranged higher
in dull trading today.
Such favorites as Electric Bond &
Share, American Superpower, American
Commonwealth Power "B," Common
wealth Edison and Northern States
Power had substantial gains. The
strength in the utilities carried Q
variegated group of industrials, mine
shares, oils and trading corporation
stocks to better levels.
From the opening 1t was apparent
that some special buying was influence
ing the copperS, which revealed uniform
strength, with Noranda in the van with
nearly point improvement. 1t eventual
ed that this was merely a reflection oi
a buying squirt in red metal shares or
the big board, where it was said thai

decidedly bullish for the first time In

The oils we're not slow to follow the
utilities. Among Standard Oil shares

laneous oil shares to advance included
Cosden Oil, Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania
and Pacific Western Oil. Cosden Oil
opened off q point and at a new low
for the year at %, but in subsequent
trading recovered to show a net gain
on the day.
Trading Corporation stocks were also
active and there were small improve
ments In Prince e. Whitley, Shenan-
doah, United Founders and Ungerleider
Financial Corporation. Chemical Ma
tional Association was the most active
of its group and showed an early i'm
provement, but later the gain was lost

road stock and it moved down slightly.
In the motors Ford Motors of Canada

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 6.-Interpo-
sition of two to three day holiday

BONDS ARE HIGHER
IN ACTIVE MARKET
List Again Advances to New
High Peak-RailS Are
Strong.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

gpecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-Bond
prices again advanced to a new high
peak today daily occurrence for the
past week and more. The standard
statistics index of 80 bonds now stands
at 1Ol.5, compared with the 1929 high
of GEL.
AS groups, the utilities and rails were
most active, though 10 industrial bonds
that arc a component part of the gen.
eraI index were also at a new high
today at 94.6.
The feature was once more the i'm
movement of seasoned favoriteS like
Canadian National SIS. Frisco As,
Northern Pacific Is, Great Northern
rs, Chicago, Burlington g. Quincy As,
Inland Steel 415s, Standard Oil of New
York AIS, Philadelphia Co. IS. Column
bia Gas SIS and American 81 Foreign
Power SIS. There seemed to be tend
ency in this group to disregard minor
differences in the issues and push them
all up to q 40 to 4.25 per cent
Weld basis. This was evidenced in
the q point gain of Chicago, Burlington
a. Quincy As to that level.
There was little of interest in the
convertible list, the movements being
merely fractional and about equally
divided between advances and declines.
Argentine bonds were most ACTIVE III
the foreign department. With the re-
tirement of President Irigoyen and the
establishment of new government, the
street accepts the opinion that the
troubles there are at an end for the
present. However, most of the many
Argentine credits moved downward,
the widest decline being in the IS OF
September, 1860, the State railways
loan. Part of the losses were retraced
in later trading. Other South Ameri-
cans did not have sympathetic move
ment, except Brazilians, which con-
tinued their steady decline.
Buying of junior railroad issues was
more specialized than was the case
Friday st. Paul adjustments and st.
Paul SIS were both higher as a reflec-
tion of reports indicating that the
roads Fall earnings are expected to
compensate in large measure for heavy
losses the first part of the year. Erie
general lien As and Erie SIS were ac-
lively bought.
In the industrials Fisk IS were 4
points higher. This was caused by
speculative buying based on a techni-
cally improved situation in the rubber
market and the expectation that Fisk
will pull out of its present difficulties
with the expected business upturn. Oil
company credits were strong.

Expresses Confidence in Peo-
pies Capacity in Accept
Ing Nobel Award.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OSLO, Norway, December 11.-Frank
B. Kellogg, former American Secretary
of State, yesterday received the Nobel
Peace Prize for 1929 in the presence of
King Hakon and distinguished au-
dience.
DR.. Nathan Soederblom, Archbishop
of Upsala, received the peace award for
1880.
The award was voted to Mr.. Kellogg
for his activities in connection with the
Kellogg-Briand peace pact. DR.. Soeder-
blom has long been active in the cause
of wcrld peace and was the principal
organizer of the Christian Unity Con-
ference held in Stockholm five years ago.
Wilson Achievement Recalled.
Four other Americans have won this
award-Theodore Roosevelt in 1906,
Elihu Root in 1912. Woodrow Wilson in
1919 and Ambassador Charles G.. Dawes
In 1925.
Another American, Sinclair Lewis, re-
ceived this years award in literature
for his novel, "Babbitt." This award
will be made in Stockholm.
The achievements of Woodrow Will
son in the cause of peace were recalled
by Premier Mowinckel in an address
praising the work of Mr.. Kellogg and
DR.. Soederblom.
League Is Praised.
We must not lose sight, he said, that
the League of Nations is the most
powerful institute for promoting peace
which the world has developed. He re-
called that the League was, created on
the initiative of the United States, and
declared that while America Is not
one of its members, the Nation has not
stood apart from the great interna-
tional efforts to secure peace"
1T IS not enough" he said, ito de-
clare war a crime. We must recognize
that the murder of thousands of men
to settle an international dispute is no
more excusable than the murder Of one
man."
Mr.. Kellogg expressed deep apprecia-
ton of the great honor accorded him
and his country. He regretted, he said,
to hear many voices raised in predic-
tions OF another war.
Regrets Forecasts of War.
Western civilization, he said, could
not survive another such conflict, but
he declared he saw nothing to indicate
another war in the of1ng.
Il have the utmost confidence" he
said, that the worlds difficulties will
be solved by peaceful means. We must
keep cool and, above all, we must keep
our confidence in the people. The most
important thing Is to educate the
peoples of the world to the belief there
are better ways Of settling disputes than
by war. The churches, the schools and
the colleges should lend their educa-
tional influence. to this great move
merlt"
Archbishop Soederblom said he be-
lieved he had received the prize as the
representative of the ecumenical move
ment within the churches. He paid
homage to the memory of Alfred Nobel,
declaring that the establishment of the
brotherhood Of man was one of the
great aims Of the founder of the Nobel
awards.
