In the article which follows We
have endeavOred to give brief out
line of the antiques in the various

found them last Thursday and Fri
day. However, since our round Of

al articles of much interest and his
torical worth have been added, and
other windows have joined the an
tique parade, so it has been impOs-
sible to keep this sketch up to the
minute:

there is the cannon ball that was
shot through the Meloy barn in
Bloom township by Morgan's raid

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May a.
Recommended good practice require.
ments for the location, construction
and operation Of marinas" were out.
lined by the marine section at tn.
National Fire Protection Association
convention here.
The report was made by H. E. Newell
assistant chief engineer Of the nationa
board Of the underwriters on boat
basins and municipal marinas.
'The rapid increase in the use Of
motor craft for pleasure purposes has
drawn attention to the prevailing in.
adequate facilities for the safe anc
convenient harboring of these boats
when in commission, but not in use
and the largely absent suitable means
for servicing them," Newells report
said in part.
Fire Hazard Increased.
This has lead to congestion and its
attendant fire hazards which In many
instances are rendered more acute by
unsafe fueling practices and absence
of adequate fire-fighting facilities.
In addition. many Of the present
harbors, or. as they are more commonly
known. marinas, are poorly located
with respect to protection from winds
waves, tides and currents. The good
practice requirements are intended tc
remedy these conditions and serve
as a guide for municipal authorities
or other interested persons when de-
termining the location and design OF
harbors or marinas.'
Many Angles Covered.
Factors covered in the committee's s
recommendations include the location
of basins: design of piers, turning area,
entrances and exits; construction;
location Of service docks. marine rail-
ways or boat hoists. land floats. elec-
trical systems. water mains and ade-
quate fire-protection measures.

Burton K. Wheeler. announcing the
final approval of his Fort Peck
