HUGH SMITH
PHILADELPHIA. (INS) — Cap-
tain Carl Phillips, who has served
about 25 years with the Wilson
Line, last of the Delaware River
passenger and cargo companies
never worries about fogs—he pi-
lots his ships by echo.
Aboard the steamer State of
Pennsylvania, he explained that
the echoes of the whistle come
back to the boat, soft or -’harp,
and in varying intensity, accord-
ing to what part of the river the
boat is in at the moment, and
from these echoes veterans of
the river are able to approxi-
mate the position of the ship.
Although it is impossible for a
landlubber to notice the differ-
ences in echoes, the oldsters of
the Delaware are quite familiar
with the technique. However, |
the captain added, the usual |
method of steering is by course
and time.
This means the pilot knows
how long to keep the boat head-
ding a given direction at a cer
tain speed and still be in the
channel when he is through. For
instance, he leaves the Market
Street wharf at a certain time
and steers toward Pier 55 and
then Pier 98. From Pier 98 he
directs his course to the spar
buoy of the Immigration Sta-
tion, thence to Howes Cove buoy
and so on down the river. To use
this method, the pilot must
know how many minutes at the
normal speed of the boat it will
take to travel between the twe
points.
I “Fog is the greatest enemy of
the rivermen and when fog set-
tles down it is the same thing
as being in darkness. If the
speed of the ship slackens it
throws us off our calculations
and we depend on our experi-
ence to get us by. Here is where
the whistle echoes come in,” said
the heavy-set river captain.
“The echo coming back to us
off an oil tank is sharp. The
sound off a channel buoy is not
as sharp,” he said. “It takes
practice to know just what the
sound is striking, and approxi-
mately whe^e you are in the
river
“But it is all a very big help
fog or bad weather
It is something a youngster can-
not use because it takes years
out here to acquire the knowl-
edge.”
The captain works six days
and rests two. His favorite
recreation ground? Why, the
Delaware River, of course! He
has never crossed the Atlantic,
and never wants to. He doesn’t
care for air travel or going up

tain work under the WPA are
' not selected by officials in Wash-

I agencies in each community for
! the purpose of preserving, as far
as possible, the right of each lo-
cality, not only to have the type
of project it wishes to have, but
to see that the people who are
worthy and deserving are given
this work relief status.
Since September, 1937, more
than 3,000,000 workers have lost
their jobs in private industry and
the number of families on direct
relief has increased from 1.300,-
000 to about 2,000,000.
Now 476,000 high school and
college youths are receiving Na-
tional Youth Administration aid.
This program will be expanded
under the new bill to provide
for a greater number of youths,
nr approximately 6®0.000 in all.
The Federal Government cannot
spend money for a better pur-
pose.
The Farm Security Administra-
tion will receive more than $175,-
000.000 to assist needy farmers
in the form of loans grants and
rural rehabilitation. There are
360,000 farm famines in need of
this type of assistance. If their
i purchasing power is restored, it
will also benefit industrial areas.
An additional public building
will be provided for each Con-
gressional District where there is
an eligible project.
Instead of granting loans to
I states and cities for public im-
j provements without interest, it
was decided to give a grant of
45 per cent in each case. These
loans and grants will be made
by the WPA and applications1
should be prepared and presented
at the arliest date possible. The
