THE SHIP CANAL

Every year or SO the announce
ment is made that the Maryland
and Delaware Ship Canal via Sas-
safras River and Blackbird is to
be commenced at once, until it has
got to be an old Chestnut. There
are many who believe this to be
the most feasible route and sooner
or later it must be adopted. The
Baltimore Sun of Friday speaks
thus: The project of building the
Maryland and Delaware ship can
al is again revived, and Mr.. Rich
ard j. Capron, who has held stock
in this enterprise, stated yesterday
that the work would be begun
within the next ten days and push
ed to completion. The proposed
enterprise is in the hands of Part
of French Capitalists, who have
organized a company with a capi-
tai of 5 million dollars to prosecute
the work. The route to be taken
is that surveyed by the late B. H.
Latrobe, of this city, in 1874, and
is what is known as the Sassafras
route. 1t begins at the Sassafras
river, on the Chesapeake bay, and
extends to Blackbird Creek, on the
Delaware.

became identified with Bohemia
until 1899, when the Rev. John A.

FIND NEW WAY
TO CURE GRASS
Frequent Clipping of Imma-
ture Grasses Increases Yield
of Protein 40-60 Percent
CAROTENE PRESERVED

A way of farming as old as
farming itself is briefly explained
in the time-honored saying Lets
make hay while the sun shines"
M. w. Goodwin, assistant chemist
at the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, has for the past
two years been conducting tests on
clipping and drying young leafy
grasses. In recently-published
24-page Experiment Station bulle
tin entitled, THE Effect of Clip
ping and Drying Immature Grass
es on Their Yield and Chemical
Composition" Goodwin explains
how he made several cuttings of
young pasture grass and then
dried the grass in two-tray batch
dryer. When baled, the dried
grass retained its original green
color. This artificial curing of
pasture gases increased the an
ual acreage yield as compared to
sun-cured hay. I'VE have found"
states Goodwin in the Well-illus-
trated Station bulletin, that fire.
quent clipping of the immature
grasses increases the acreage
yields of protein 40 to so per cent
over that recovered by the usual
haymaking procedure. One of the
questions in our minds when we
started the tests was whether or
not carotene, the vitamin-filled
substance found in pasture crops,
would be lost during the drying
process. But when we took the
samples from the dryer and those
from the field-cured hay into the
laboratory, we found that more
than five times as much carotene
is preserved through artificial dry
ing than through sun-drying in the
field. It's true that after the dried
product was stored in bales, there

ing the first few months of STORAGE
At the end of the storage period,
though, the final product stiII con
tanned two to five times as much
carotene as was found in the field
hay at the time it was baled.
This study indicates that it i
possible to produce in Delaware
good yields of high-protein, high
carotene, and low-fbre livestock
feed from grass and clover mix
lures and that it can be well pre-
served by artificial drying followed
by storage in bales"

Roller Sko+ing Is Found
Effective Diefinq Aid

ROLLEh SKatlng IS sweeping
IL the country. Thousands Of
persons are suddenly rediscovering
the thrill of sailing away effortless.
lyon roller skates; of striding with
seven-league boots in easy rhyth-
mic motion that sets body tingling.
and makes you want to shout in
sheer exuberence.
Gerold Frank, writing in the
May issue of Good housekeeping
Magazine about this skating re-
naissance, points out that its ap-
peal is universal. The four-year-
old and his father are both en-
thusiasts. What's more, doctors
recommend it as a highly beneficial
form of exercise, especially for
women who insist on dieting. One
hour Of skating, Mr. Frank SAYS. Is
quite as effective as one week of
dieting
Don't get the idea either that
roller skating is hard. If you've
ever done any before, ten minutes
10 all you II Heeu 10 get the knack
of it again. Simply put on the
skates and walk. Don't try to skate.
That's a fatal error and leads
cynical instructors to observe that
it takes twelve sittings to make a
skater. But it won't take long.
Some of our champions have been
at it for as short a time as two
wears
Just as "Bingo" and "Confucius
Say" overnight became national
fads, roller skating has taken its
place right beside them. And Mr..
Frank says, in conclusion, he thinks
it strangely moving that in this
chaotic world of today such genu-
inely simple pleasures still remain.

YEARLY MASS
OLD BOHEMIA
To Emphasize Religious I'm
pOrtance at 236th Anniver-
sary of Historic Church
FOUNDED BY JESUITS

To emphasize the Importance of
religion as the foundation of our
freedom in America, and in all ma
tions, the annual Military Field
Mass will be held at Old Bohemia
near Warwick, Md, on Sunday,
June 9th, at IL a. m. standard
time, in connection with the 236th
anniversary Of the foundation of
this hostoric church of st. Francis
Xavier. Old Bosemia in its long
line of history had intimate asso-
citation with the trying days of our
American Revolution when it har-
bored within it's Scholastic as well
as its ecclesiastical walls such men
as Bishop Carroll, the First Bishop
of America and an active partici-
pant in the struggle for American
Independence and Charles Carroll
of Carrollton, the signor of the
Declaration Of Independence for
Maryland.
Bohemia was founded by Father
Thomas Mansell a Jesuit, in the
year of 1904, and was the earliest
Catholic foundation in the English
colonies outside of the Jesuit es-
tablishments in the lower Mary
land, in Charles and st. Marys
Counties.
It preceded the introduction Of
the faith into the province of
Pennsylvania and it is not unlikely
that one of the priests residing at
Bohemia occasionally visited the
scattered Catholics of Chester
County before Father Geaton built
Old st. Joseph's in Philadelphia in
1873.
Bohemia Manor was the i'm
mense tract of land in Cecil Coun-
ty, Md, that was granted to Au-
gustine Hermen; but the name Bo-
remia was also locally applied to
the Catholic Church and residence
of the Jesuit Fathers, and their
property was known as Bohemia
Manor.
The true title of the church is
st. Francis Xavier, and is situated
on the little Bohemia, at a short
distance from the village of War
wick, Cecil County, and the near
est railroad is at Middletown.
Bohemia, $50 years ago Offered
inducements which no doubt infiu-
enced Father Thomas Mansell tc
select it as a center of Missionary
enterprise. Bohemia Landing
which was not far from the church
was then an important trading
post.
At Old Bohemia the Jesuits
founded a college which was at
tended by such famous men a.
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton; also
his cousin, John Carroll, the frs
Bishop of Baltimore, and the Unit
ed States, and by many others
This college was opened in 1745 by
the Rev. Thomas Poulton, s. j.
who is buried with four other pion
eer Jesuits in the plot surrounded
by lockwood in the rear OF tn
church.
The college was the origina
Georgetown University and con
tinued until the present one wa
founded in 1890 in Washington
when Bohemia was abandoned b.
the Jesuits as a college site. Al
attempt, however, was made unde
other auspices in 1875, when tn
Suplican Fathers from st. Mary
Seminary in Baltimore, tool

chal, subsequently the third Bishop
of Baltimore, was the regular pas
tor in attendance with occasiona
interruptions, during the who'll
time of the Suplican occupations.
Here, they hoped to found a pre-
paratory seminary for ecclesias
tical students but after four year
