BATTLESHIP OF AIR PERFECTED
 FRENCH NAVY

PARIS, Nov. = A flying battle ship equipped with torpedoes, bombs, machine guns and light can non, has just been perfected by French naval engineers. Taking it's place alongside Frances recently perfected flying cannon land planes, the new air monster is gigantic tri motored seaplane with amazing yer satility in aerial warfare. The French ministry of marine, which is strengthening its war branch inde- pendently of the ministry of air, is said to be planning large squad ron of these new seaplanes, which are deemed more efficient that bat tleships for sea combat. The devel- opment of seaplane warfare is re- ported as highly important to naval powers like the United States with it's long coast lines.
 A fleet of these new boats is capa ble of flying nonstop 1,600 miles from the point of departure. Besides one ton of torpedoes and bombs, the armament aboard includes four se- parate batteries of two machine guns each. Engineers are aiming tc develop for the machine speed ol two hundred miles per hour ever when fully loaded.

PUSH OPENING
OF RIVER INLET
w. S. Corkran Says Closing Of
Stream Has Made Mosquito
Control Impossible
DREDGING AND JETTIES

The formation Of an association
to promote the opening and main
tenance of Indian River Inlet. be-
tween India River Bay and the At
lantic Ocean, seven miles below Re-
hoboth, was advocated by W. S
Corkran, Executive Officer and En-
gineer of the Delaware Mosquito
Control Commission in an inter
view at his office in Lewes last
week. He based his advocation on
the need of such an inlet being op-
ened and maintained, if perfect
mosquito control is to be attained
in the Rehoboth area, and on the
fact that in past years considerable
income was brought to the COM
munities bordering Indian River
and Rehoboth Bays by their acces-
ibility to the Atlantic Ocean via
this inlet. Last week" he stated.
II inspected the entire marsh areas
surrounding Rehoboth Bay, and
found very high water standing on
all the marshes. In most places
the bitches were entirely submerg-
ed by the high waters of the bay
and hence could not drain away
the mosquito breeding pools. This
combination of high tides and
heavy rains, which seriously low
ers mosquito control effectiveness.
could not occur if a suitable inlet
were opened and maintained by
adequate jetties. The securing of
the necessary inlet at Indian Riv-
er, explained Mr. Corkran. lies
within the power of the people of
the communities on or near the
shores of these bays I believe it
would be wise for those people to
form an association. These bays
were at one time prolific sources of
income to the communities of or
near their shores. Not so many
years ago they had abundant sea-
foods and were traversed by sail
ing ships which piled far back in
land to bring lumber and grains
out to ocean ports. The opening
and maintenance of a satisfactory
inlet would result in an abundance
of oysters, clans. shad and other
fish in these bodies of water; New
