neer for the Wilmington and Phila- I
* delphla districts, is presiding and the |
discussion centers upon the question
of straightening and deepening the j
Salem river between Salem city and i
the Delaware river. Through the j
dredging of "cut-offs" on several '
» curves In the stream, it is estimated
the distance from tha city to the
Delaware can be reduced three !
miles.
* The Salem river rises In Salem
county, flows westward ten miles, |
, then southward thirteen miles to the 1
city of Salem, where It is Joined by I
. ihe Little Salem river, and thence!
westward three miles emptying Into
the Delaware. It la proposed to '
deepen the stream from nine feet. Its j
present depth, to twelve, the same asi
the depth proposed at present fori
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
Of late years the river improve- I
ments have been urged by the
* Board of Trade of Salem City and
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of Harbor Commissioners of
Wilmington. Congress has author
ized Colonel Brown to make a sur
vey of tho situation and made
recommendations to the hoard of
engineer# of the War Department.

Brown's work of Investigation.

eer; Frederick W. Hersey; head of
the Wilmington Marine Terminal
Bureau; W. A. Speakman. president,
and Charlea H. Gant, eecretary of
Ihe Harbor Commission and William
* 'T Budd, secretary of the Wllmtng
» ton Chamber of Commerce.

Salem at noon as guests of Colonel
Brown on the U. S. Engineer boat
Josephine.
J. Spencer Smith, the New York
engineer. Is serving the city of Salem
v in an advisory capacity. He also Is
chairman of the technical advisory
board of the Wilmington Harbor
Commission, this linking up the mut
ual Interests of both places.
By means of the new Marine Ter
minal tha Chamber of Commerce
and Harbor Commissioners believe
that with, the dredging and straight
ening of the Salem river a oloser
* trade relationship may be establish-
ed between Wilmington and South-
ern New Jersey. For this reason.
- Wilmington la taking keen interest
In and supporting the projeet.

be the greater economy to the
public treasttry. left u* approxi

500.000 tons now. owing fo the
scrapping of «he wooden fleet.
More than half this tonnage is
government owned and approxi
mately 2.250.000 tons are under
government operation in one form
or another. The net loss to the
United Statea treasury—auma act
ually taken therefrom in this gov

proximately * 18,000 «00 per month
during the year prior to the as
sumption of responsibility by th#
present administration. A constant
warfare on this loss of public
funds, and the draft to service of
capable business management and :
experienced operating directors. |
have resulted in applied efficiency
and enforced economies. It is very
gratifying to report the dimunition
of the loseea to $4.000.000 per
month, or a total of *50.000.000 a
year; but It is intolerable that the
government should continue a

Then the supreme humiliation, the j
admission that the United States,
our America once eminent among

doubly humiliating when we own
ships and fail in the genius and
capacity to turn their prows to

This problem cannot longer be
ignored. Its attempted solution
cannot longer be postponed. The
failure of Congress to act deci
sively will he no less disastrous
than adverse action.
Three courses of action are poe
sible and the choice among them
la no longer to he avoided.
The first, Is to enact the pend

the people and always available to
the government in any e.ns geney,
may be established and maiit

The second. Is obstructive, con

tlnue government operations and
attending government losses and
discourage private enterprises by
government competition under
which losses are met by the public
treasury and with the continued
losses and deterioration until the
collosal failure ends In sheer ex
haustlon.
The third is destructive_In
volvlng the sacrifice of our ships
abroad or the scrapping of them
at home, the surrender of our as

Impotence to the world in genera
and our humiliation before the

A choice among the three is ln
evltable. It 1s unbelievable that

The Great Bell of Atri
HE village of Atri had a great bell that was rung
only in time of need. For years it had been
unused, for Atri was prosperous and content. Its rope,
covered with green vines, trailed to the ground. One
day a starving horse, turned out to shift for himself,
seized the fresh, green tendrils in his teeth. The bell
above him began to ring, attention was called to the
predicament of the poor beast, and he became a well
fed ward of the town.
Advertising is a bell that is continually ringing to call
vour attention to something you need and ought to
have.
Merchants and manufacturers, who are making and
selling something they think you will want, are using
its clarion notes to attract you to their wares.
Do vou read the advertising? Many people do. They
are the wise shoppers—the economical buyers—the
ones who are strictly up-to-date on the opportunities
for saving money or spending it to greatest odvantage.
Read the advertisements. They will tell you of many
things you need. Read them to save steps—to save
money. Read them because they place before your
eyes a moving panorama of business progress. Read
them to keep yourself informed.
