CONTEND CODE is UNJUST
Rate of Wages Will Permit Little
Building This Summer

Builders and contractors of Kent
and Sussex counties met in Mil
ford recently for the purpose of
discussing the new code as affect
ing builders and contractors Of the
two counties. Herman Johnson, of
Milford, presided as chairman, with
Leroy Stevenson, secretary, and
Willis Hall, treasurer. The code
was read and discussed and the
opinion prevailed that the National
code, as written, imposes hard
ship on the public as well as the
contractors and builders. One of
the chief objections is the 40 cents
per hour wage scale for unskilled
labor. 1t was felt that the Nation
al code was written to apply to
large cities and sections where liv-
ing conditions and wages are high
er than in rural sections. 1t was
explained that to pay 40 cents an
hour in lower Delaware would re-
suit in very little building being
done during the summer. A COM
mittee was named from Kent coun-
ty to confer with a similar COM
mittee from Sussex county to re-
write the Objectionable sections in
the code and, when approved, send
them to Washington for consider
alton.

1t has been necessary to double
the usual number Of trucks on the
assembly line at the Chester
Branch of the Ford Motor Com
pany for the past few days, ac-
cording to officials of the plant.
The increase in production has
been caused by additional demands
for the new Ford VS. truck COM

includes Eastern Pennsylvania, all

and New Jersey. Dealers every

erned by engine efficiency and
truck weight and not by the num-
ber of cylinders. The Ford VS. en-
gine takes the fuel that would be
required for an ordinary four-cyl-
inder engine and divides it eight
ways. Four larger explosions are
reduced to eight smaller ones. The
more frequent and overlapping
power impulses produce a smooth
constant flow of power-an i'm
portant factor in fast or heavy
hauling. High torque and horse
power give the Ford VS. an excep-
tional ability to meet heavy pulling
conditions as well as to transport
full loads at high speeds.

tury and a quarter.
Most of the falls were observed In
areas of comparatively dense popu-
lation and where surface conditions
were favorable for observation Of
the landing and for recovery.
Falls Are Counted.
"If we consi5er the 2S7 witnessed
falls in European countries, Russia
India, Japan and the United States,
amounting to 129,349 individual me-
teorites or 450 stones a fall, In a
combined area of 7,25O,0OO square
miles, we have one meteorite for
every 55k miles," Stone said.
During the 125 years only two
falls from which stones were recov-
cred were observed In the whole
western third Of the United States,
apparently due to sparse population
and the nature of the terrain Al
though practically all observed falls
from which stones are recovered oc-
Cured in daytime. there Is no reason
for assuming that falls are not just
as frequent at night
ION these assumptions, it is con-
servative to estimate that in these
twelve centuries at least ten times
as many meteorites fell as were re-
covered, or one to each five and a
half square miles"
His Deductions
IF the rate Of fall Of the last CEN
tury has been constant. according TO
the assistant state geologist, each
square mile of surface has received
TIT metenric units. In the 60,GO,-
600 years since the beginning Of ter
uary time on this basis Of compu-
tation, the earth received 81, ,240 NE
teorites a square mile.
1.-THE weight of the 129,349 stones
recovered" he continued, was IL
074 pounds This is very l0y
average, since the larger stones usl-
ally bury themselves. but this figure
gives about two ounces q stone.
This would mean a five-tOn-a-
square mile average for the entire
earth, In the last LIS years.
''Should we continue the cumpu-
tatian for longer periods we get into
ponderable figures Then, if we fig
ure not from the beginning Of the
tertiary time but from early Pale
ozic time. 60O.OOO,0OO rather than
100000 years ago, we get weight
of material which certainly would
make The earth wabble on its axis
if concentrated in one spot on the
surface"
Stone added that besides the me-
teorites which land, about million
an hour daily are consumed IN
our atmosphere before striking the
earth.
Considering five pounds the aver
age weight of these, that would
mean $1,000 tons Of meteoritic dust
sitting down daily. Distributed over
the globe, however, the result would
be a layer one milumeter thick in
10000 years, or a blanket 10 feet
deep in 6O,0OO0OO years"
