@. Why is the tide in the Delaware
River SO much higher than in CheSa-

A. The Coast and Geodetic Survey
says that this difference in the tide

converge toward the mouth of the
river and the tide wave as it ad-
vances up stream actually increases
from a mean range of about 4 feet
at the entrance to the bay to a range
OF about 6 feet in the vicinity of
Stony Point. On the other hand,
Chesapeake Bay widens out into a

To lend enchantment to the air.

GUT OFF RELIEF,
He RUNS AMUCK

NEW YORK, May 15.-Because
he was discharged from a works
relief project, Josef Held, 81 years
old, threw two bricks through the
front door of the City Hall, at
tracing a MONDAY crowd Of hun
dreds in a few seconds.
His pockets filled with rocks,
Held crept unnoticed to the door
and crashed in two windows with
two mighty heaves.
Vito Masullo, cleaner, who was
sweeping the steps Of the hall at
the time, grabbed Held's arm and
prevented further window de.
struction. When the man reached
for his hip pocket, as if to draw
a weapon, Masullo pinned his arms
until a half dozen policemen ar
rived and took charge Of the
situation.
Believing that a mailman was
loose, the policemen searched
Held for weapons. But he was un'
armed except for a dozen rocks
wrapped in paper.
His resentment against Mayor
LaGuardia didn't reach the mayor
himself, because he was in Wash
ington, but Aldermanic President
Deutsch was about to leave the
building for luncheon when the
scene occurred.

CHICAGO BEARS BEATNY GIANTS
 SCORE 2l TO 0
(By The Assoc,ated Press)


 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28th-The Chicago Bears took sweet revenge over the New York Giants, Sunday, walloping them by score of 21 to 0, before fifteen thousand people.
 They probably remembered the 30 to 13 defeat they suffered at the hands of the Giants on an icy field in New York two months ago, in which they lost the National pro title.
 The Bears did all the scoring in the first half, making three touch down drives which the Giants were unable to stop at any stage of the advance. The Giants slipped one over on the Bears in the New York game by using basketball shoes which gave them good traction on the frozen field. The Giants had the ball most of the time Sunday during the second half, but the Bears would not let them take it places.
