there were no trenches or dugouts
or barbed wire--nothing to keep
the Russian patrols from slipping
through. Nothing on the other side
to keep the Finnish patrols from
slipping through.
The captain is very proud of his
machine-gun nests. He points out
how each is placed with two or
sometimes three fields of wire
through the trees and out across
the big clearing between the two
armies. And now, says the captain,
we may stay here and wait, or
those who like may follow him out
into no mans land to look at a
Russian tank destroyed just at SUM-
set.
The captain takes away from one

River-Harbor Projects
Being Studied by
Committee
National Group Will
Act on Endorsements
Thursday and Friday

Wading through hundreds OF re-
quests for waterway improvements,
the Projects Committee OF the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress
sought to determine today which
projects should be Endorsed.
Those considered meritorious will
be officially pushed by the Congress
for adequate appropriations both on
Capitol Hill and in the Government
agencies concerned" the committee
> announced.
Soon after it met, the committee
adopted resolution to drop from
consideration any projects disap-
proved by Army Engineers unless
new evidence is presented at the
next meeting to warrant reconsid-
GRAFTON. 1t was pointed out that
Congress usually makes its appro-
priation on the basis of recon-
mendations by the Army.
OF the 252 projects to be con-
sidered by the committee, "a are In
Maryland and Virginia.
Comprising experts from all Sec
tions of the country, the committee
will consider the projects today and
tomorrow at the Mayf1ower and
make its recommendations to the
Rivers and Harbors Congress which
meets Thursday and Friday Prof.
ects under consideration include
flood control, navigation improve
ments. reclamation, soil and water
conservation, prevention of stream
pollution, harbor works and hydro
electric plants. The committee is
headed by Senator John E. Miller
Of Arkansas.
In addition to it's consideration of
worthwhile projects, the commit
tee is expected to expand upon its
declaration last year that the con-
tinuing and obstructing opposition
of the railroads to the expansion of
water transportation constitutes a
menace to the welfare and security
of the United States and is largely
responsible for high transportation
costs and consequent unbalancing of
production and consumption"

ference, would place waterways un-

Commerce Commission.

How Irwin S. Cobb Describes Home:
Repairing Renovizing . Modern

"A home is a place that has been, or is
being lived in by kindly, wholesome
people; where JOY has been known and
sorrow calamity endured where there has
been comfort and companionshp; where
the very of their natures has
entered into the walls so that, entering it,
the stranger feels that here there has been
peace and good will and the spirit of
helpfulness"
How true that rings to the contributions
to home which The Eberly Plan
makes. Its service is through repairing,
renovizing, undermining g-making the
house homier home-with its distinct
influence on those living with its
comforts and conveniences.
You will be surprised what The Eberly
Plan can do for your home; and you
have only to ask us to send an Eberly
Plan Supervisor to point it out in detail.
And just thought to keep in mind-thar
under The Eberly Plan the work is ALL
done by OUR trained craftstnen-and
there is only ONE modest overhead
involved-only ONE responsibility for
your atisfaction-OURS.
At no time let-the question of payment
interfere, for under The Eberly Plan
you can conveniently arrange the
financing. That is done entirely within
our office-a confidential matter
between you and us.
