RESUME REMOVAL
OF JERSEY HOUSES
Engineers VIII Transfer Four
Buildings Across River to
Delaware City
MATTESON IN CHARGE

Company A, First Engineers,
Fort DUPONT, resumed the task of
preparing four houses for removal
across the Delaware River from
Fort Mott, N. j., early this week.
For the past two weeks the soldiers
have been engaged in firing for rec
ord on the Fort DUPONT rifle range.
Work on the removal of the houses
has been at standstill during the
past two weeks. Second Lieuten-
ant William j. Matteson is in
charge of the work of preparing
the moving of the houses across
the river. Two of the four houses
are practically ready to be moved
on Navy barges for transportation
to Fort DUPONT while the remaining
two are lacked up, and placed in
shape to be moved several hundred
yards from their present location
to the river shore. Quarters for
the families of six officers win be
provided when the houses are re-
erected at Fort DUPONT on Officers
Lane These quarters are badly
needed as several officers, with
their families are compelled to re-
side in Delaware City because of
lack of quarters at the post. There
is also a shortage of non-commis-
stoned officers quarters at the post
but this will be taken care of when
construction of four double sets of
houses will be started soon and
ready for occupancy next Spring.
BY next Spring there will be IA ad-
ditional quarters for officers and
non-commissioned officers at Fort
DUPONT.

COURT OF COMMON
PLEAS JUSTIFIED
CONTINUED From Page Three)

less than two months after the
date of the accident. The courts
records contain several similar cas-
es and the sponsors of the court
point to these cases as proof of its
ability to expedite action on civil
cases that come before it. That
the Superior Court of the county
approves of the methods of the
Court of Common Pleas is shown
by the fact that several cases in
stituted in the Superior Court have
been remanded by that court to the
Court of Common Pleas for trial
and decision. The sponsors Of the
court believe that its record shows
that it is filling the purpose for
which it was intended and that
suggested or proposed changes in
the court should be withheld until
this new legal unit of the county
has had a complete trial It is be
lieved that as soon as the citizens
of the county become more ac-
quainted with the court and its ac-
tivities that there will be more de-
mand for its services.

ed in the discussion of problems af-
fecting taxation, parking and zon-
ing problems, central market space

that it will go long way towards

extraordinary condolences between
the supernatural mythology of an
cient Egypt and happenings in the

varon, who. with Howard Carter,

Aman's tomb to light. died as the
result of the bite of an insect, mys-
tics pointed to the fate of the
great archeOlogist as the fulfillment
Of a dire prophecy. The modern
world considered the death Of Lord
CarnavarOn as merely a strange CO.
incidence.
And now those conversant with
Egyptian mythology point to the
forthcoming submergence of tile

Egyptians believed was in the pow

Isis, the patron goddess of the
PharaOhs. was the goddess of na-
ture and fertility. and the greatest
goddess of Egypt. who, with her
husband Osiris. legend relates,
dwelt when on earth on the fruit
full island Of Philae. Osiris was a
kind and benefcent god. He was
the first to teach his children. the
Egyptians, how to grow barley and
wheat and how to make wine. He
also built banks along the Nile to
prevent 1t from destroying life and
property at flood times and CON
structed irrigation canals to make
richly productive the barren lands
near the Nile valley.

the god of agriculture. Osiris was
looked upon as having the same
powers as Hep. the divine keeper

Fall Season Best
Time to Plant
~Shrubbery in Yard

These are the days when ones
spare moments are occupied in the
yard or garden, for in the estab-
lishment of fall bulbs, the shrubs
and small trees at this time an
early start is gained next spring.
For n thing, shrubs can be
moved about Immediately after the
frost has assured their being dor
mant. The hedges can be spaded
and weak bushes replaced. Around
the house itself. the shrubs should
be trimmed of all dead or over
grown branches.
Quite likely there will be a spot
that is o~vercrowded and another
that has been found this summer
to require shielding. Given the
choice, Towering shrubs are to be
preferred. Among the fragrant
shrubs may be suggested the Caro-
lima allspice, Japanese ounce,
sweet pepper bush, rose Daphne,
Russian olive, fragrant honey
suckle, moe orange OF syringa,
fragrant sumac, Osa ecae, fragrant
virburnum and the many species of
IilacS.
Of particular advantage in adding
the shrubs now is the fact that
the sap starts flowing SO early in
spring that much of next seasons
growth is lost il planting is delayed
until the ground can be worked in
the spring.
