LINK PLEAS
u. S. Plans for 15-Mile Chan
mel in Sinepuxent Spur
Advocates
MAY SUE FOR GROUND

The proposed Maryland Della
ware inland waterway project, re-
jected in 1880 by the War Depart
ment following a six-year-old eff
fort, was revived at Ocean City,
Md, Wednesday, following an
nouncement that the government
plans to dIedge a six-foot chan
mel, Is miles long in Sinepuxent
Bay, a necessary step in the con
struction of the S781 900 Ocean
City Inlet. Soundings are being
made in the bay waters south of
Ocean City by Captain G. G. Ne
her, district engineer of the War
Department, preparatory to
dredging operations in the next
few weeks.
Estimated Cost Is $4,000
The Sinepuxent Bay channel is
Maryland's main link in the wat
erway project, which as proposed,
viii establish a coastal canal from
the Delaware Bay south through
Maryland to Chincoteague Island
Va, utilizing inland bays and
tributaries of Delaware and Mary
land. Need for the inland water
way is cited by advocates of a
new transportation water route
between coastal Peninsula points
and northern city markets at Will
mington, Chester and Philadel-
phia. Worcester county interests
contend that 78,170 tons of traffic
annually would be shipped by
boats over the waterway They
also point out that the canal
would provide a sheltered passage
for small craft between Philadel-
phia and Norfolk, Va, as well as
establish an adequate coast de-
fense system in case of war. The
estimate cost of dredging the in
land waterway from Delaware
Bay south to Virginia is placed at
$4,000 with an annual mainten-
ance of $4,000. Construction of
the Ocean City Inlet and subse-
quent dredging of Sinepuxent Bay
is assured, waterway interests
point out. A bill seeking funds
for the waterway project of Con-
gress, they say.
May Sue Pastor for Inlet Lots
The one stumbling block in
front of the inlet plans now may
be carried to the U. S. Court un-
less the Rev. w. C. Pole, of Heb
ron, Md, allows the government
to purchase sixty building lots
which he owns, necessary to OBJ

The minister paid $1,000 for the

against the worlds leading light
heavyweights and heavyweights.
Though he never won a title other
than of light Heavyweight champion
of his cwn race, he ranked high
throughout his career that spread
over a period Of 10 years. The Kid,
unlike most members of his race
vino achieved fame in pugilism,
saved most Of his money, which he
placed in wise investments, mostly in
real estate, and despite the tre-
mendous drop in values OF his hold
ings, he is still rated as comfort
ably fixed. He lives in the Harlem

while a fall for Ernie would virtually
eliminate Shikat as possible opponent

ample excuse to continue dodging the
dangerous German.

The Further Fit Must Next Be

The important thing is for the hands
to fit for purposes of suit play. The

If such combination Is not shown by
the bidding, the only thing to do is to
sign off summarily and be content with
a partial score, if the opponents do

Roughly speaking. when you have tour
trumps and a singleton, that Is enough
for a raise in a major suit. In a

on whether you can support either

The moist, sensitive skin on its nose
Is most helpful to its owner. When
The eyes are large, brown and gentle.
The hearing IS acute. Because the

When ready to rest, the calf drops
to its knees, or, we should say, wrists
Of the front feet, lowers the hind quar-
ters, then the front part of the body
is lowered to the ground. With sigh
Of relief, 1t tucks its legs. practically
under its body, and appears at last. to
be at peace with the world.
Having q compound stomach, the
calf can gather its food all day, and, at
night, bring the grass up to chew it

This IS called, as you know, chewing
