MEN TO RECEIVE
JOBS ON ROAD
Highway Bureau Wants Work
Done by Hand Where Pos
sible Instead of Machines
APPLIES TO FEDERAL AID

Men, not machines, are to be IA
vored for jobs resulting from the
new S120,00O,OO0 in federal high
way aid. And these workers
skilled and unskilled alike must
be employed on 30-hour week
basis and paid salaries specified in
contracts between the government
and those who undertake the road
construction. So specifies the law
The bureau of public roads is ready
to speed the expenditure of many
millions next month out of the
money made available under the
new relief law. First Secretary
Hyde must prepare regulations to
carry out the congressional man
date of "the maximum employment
of local labor consistent with rea-
sonable economy of construction"
Under this provision, the progress
of machinery in forcing out hand
labor will be curtailed and it was
said at the bureau that disputes
undoubtedly would favor enforce
ment. Machines will not be ban
ished by any means, but it will be
up to state highway departments.
with the cooperation of the federal
supervising engineer, to determine
what work can be done reasonably
by hand. There is latitude for diff
fering opinions. Despite the in
creased expense of construction un-
der these provisions, it was said
this would be offset by lower ma
terial costs and involve no greater
construction outlays than last year.
No applications have been received
yet for the new funds, but officials
believe the entire S120,000,O00 will
be demanded.

MEMORIAL ON
FORTRESS SITE
Old French Defenses Are Dis.
covered By LabOrers
While Excavating
ERECTED IN YEAR 1876

Bar-le-Duc.-As excavations for
the construction of an American
monument were being made on the
peak of MontafucOn, in the Argonne,
the foundations of an old fortress
built there by Godefroy de BOuillon
in 1916 were discovered.
The American monument is to
commemorate the 1912 soldiers Of
the United States army who were
killed there in September, 1913.
when the position was taken from
the Germans. The old fort is said
to have been destroyed and recon
structed in the Eleventh, Thirteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries and finally burned
with the village during the Thirty
Years war by the Swedes.
Godefroy de Bouillon was young
vassal of Emperor Henry ", from
whom he received the title of Mar
quisate of Anvers at the death Of
Godefroy-le-BOssu. The fortress was
dismantled when the Due de Basse
Lorraine left with the Crusaders.
Explorations are being made by
Baron Renaux, curator of the Yer
don museum and library, under the
auspices of the ministry Of fine arts,
in collaboration with Canon Almond,
historical savant of the Meuse, and
other authorities. Among the finds
so far are an entrance stairway, a
series Of galleries of different sizes
small rooms in one of which was a
stone bench, and several piles OF
burned wheat, indicating the de
struction Of 1886. These were al
discovered at a depth Of eight OF
ten meters.
The American battle monument is
to be made of reinforced concrete
faced with Burgundy stone. 1t viii

TO MOVE 6 HOUSES
ACROSS THE RIVER
Fort DUPONT Engineers Dis
patched to Fort Mott, NJ.
to Prepare for Removal
FOR OFFICER QUARTERS

Company A at Fort DUPONT has
been dispatched to Fort Mott, Nj,
where, under the direction of First
Lieut.. James A.Ostrand, the troops
will get six Officers residences in
shape to be moved across the Del
aware River to Fort dupont where
they will be set up as permanent
officers quarters. The troops will
remain for an indefinite time at
Fort Mott as it will be necessary
to construct a half mile or more of
track to move the six dwellings
from their present foundations to
the wharf where they may be slid
on scows and moved across the
river. A main track will be laid
from the center of the cluster of
six houses leading directly to the
wharf. Branch tracks will be laid
from each individual house to the
main track to facilitate the NOV
ing of each building. It is the plan
of Lieut.. Col. L. H. Watkins, COM
manding officer, to move all six
houses at once to Fort DUPONT. All
six will not be moved over on the
same scow but one will follow an
other promptly until all six have
been ferried across the river. Lo-
cations are now being staked out
at Fort dupont for the six houses.
They will be placed on the north
side of Officers Lane and at the
western end of the street, along
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al side. 1t will again be necessary
after the houses have been trans
ferred across the river and set up
on their foundations, to repair and
paint each house, install modern
plumbing and heating, and gener-
ally place the houses in shape for
occupancy. The sum of $4,000 was
received at Fort DUPONT several
weeks ago for preliminary expens-
es in moving the buildings. Mem
bers of Company A will live in the
temporary barracks at Fort Mott
while this work is under way. They
will return to Fort DUPONT each
Saturday afternoon and return to
Fort Mott early Monday morning
While no definite time can be SET
for the completion of this work, il
4 is. the present intention to push the
moving of the houses with all pos
sible speed as living quarters fol
officers at the post are badly need
ed.

inspection Campaign Now On
To Eliminate Unsafe Cars
From the Highway
RIGID TESTS ARE MADE

The fourth annual Delaware car
inspection campaign, being con-
Quoted under the joint auspices of
the Secretary of States office, the
State Highway Department and
the Delaware Safety Council, is
now in full swing and will continue
until September 1. The distribu-
ton of the cars inspected and pass
ed by counties and State during
the first week is as follows: New
Castle county, 1880; Kent county,
9S1; Sussex county, 1886. The to-
tai number of cars inspected in the
State during the first week is A.
O97. While stressing that the cam
paign is being conducted in accord
ance with the provisions of the mo-
tor vehicle law, w. d. Denney, as
sistant secretary of state, is par
ticularly anxious to call attention
to the safety factors involved.
Careful inspection of the mechan-
ical conditions of vehicles involved
in fatal accidents indicates that a
large percentage of these were in
a defective condition. The urgent
need for the fourth car inspection
campaign can be gathered from
the fact that there has been an in
crease in accidents in every classi-
fication on the State highways dur
ing the first six months of this
year. Accidents attributed to de-
fective equipment have increased
154 per cent over last year. Del
aware has an enviable safety
record, and we feel sure that
the majority Of Delaware motor
lists will cooperate with the car
inspection campaign in the inter
est of their own and the public's
safety" Mr.. Denney added. In the
1881 campaign, SO per cent of all
registered cars were inspected as
compared with 50 per cent in the
preceding year, and 81 per cent in
1929. This year plans have been
made not only to arrange for the
inspection of the cars Of this large
majority of citizens, but also to
reach the small per cent who
failed to cooperate last year. Fail
ure to submit cars for inspection
raises the suspicion that the car,
perhaps, is defective and that the
owner is unwilling to put the car
in good operating condition. In or
der to remove such cars from the
roads as highway menaces, the
Secretary Of State will rescind and
cancel the registration of cars fail
ing to be inspected. Motor car own
ers may have their cars inspected
at any one of the official stations.
There is absolutely no charge for
this service. Any adjustments or
repairs authorized will be charged
regular rates. Repairs or adjust
ments may be made at any garage
or service station selected by the
owner or may be made by the own
er personally.

MISS WHEELER
URGES AID FOR
JOBLESS

Following is the partial tert OF
d speech deliUered last night
from the StudioS of Station
WJSV in the Washington Times
Herald building by Miss Eliza
beth Wheeler, president OF the
Young Democratic Club and
daughter Of Senator Burton X.
Wheeler. of Montana:
Reports from all parts OF
the United States indicate that
the unemployment situation is
steadily growing worse, while
at the same time local relief
funds are exhausted.
This problem of giving re-
lief to 100000 of unemployed
is of more Importance than bal
ancing the budget or saving big
business and the railroads. In
fact, the only way to save bust
ness and have balanced budget
in the future, is by giving jobs
to the millions of unemployed
men and women.
Schools of Thought
But how can this be accom-
pliShed? We are here con-
fronted with two distinct schools
of thought.
First, those who think that
the remedy must come through
helping the big industries and
financial institutions, and sec.
ondly, those who would give as
Sistance to the workers and
farmers. In other words, the
, first class think that prosperity
must come from the top down.
while the second hold that pros
perity must come from the bot
tom up.
Those who advocate pros
perity from the top down have
been granted by Congress every
measure they have asked for.
Help the UnderdOg
The Urgency construction
and relief act is the measure
advocated by those who believe
that prosperity must come from
the bottom up. 1t would furnish
work for men in constructing
Federal buildings, bridges, roads,
and other needed public i'm.
provementS.
1t authorizes the ReconStruc-
ton Finance Corporation to
make loans to the several States,
the aggregate amount of which
shall not exceed $1,46O,OO 900
and makes provision for the re.
payment of these loans to the
Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration.
