her aged parents, Mr.. and Mrs

TAFT PLEADS FOR PATIENCE.
Saws Americans Are too Anxious to
Have the Dirt Fly.


Put in Bay, O., July 12.-Secretary
of Wart Taft spoke yesterday after
noon before the state bar association
on the Panama canal. Explaining the
apparent delay in the actual work OF
excavation, it was shown that the
nearly $4,000 employees had in reality
accomplished more than any one re
allied in the building and equipment
of railroads. the construction of water
supply and the building of thousands
of homes for those engaged in the
work 1t was pointed out that the
actual excavation was much less of 2
problem than what to do with the
material when it was taken out, much
of which had to be carried Is miles,
requiring the building of over 300
miles of spur tracks. The question OF
obtaining sufficient labor was shown to
be a serious one and it had been nee
essary to employ large numbers OF ma
tives and Cinnamon, three of whom
would do less than an average Amer
lean. The estimated cost of the Pan
anna route was placed at $15O,OO0,OOO
and the time of completion about
z years, as against $300,000,000 and
II years for the completion of the
work had the Nicaraguan route been
chosen. The speaker said the Ameri-
can people were disposed to be in too
big a hurry to have the dirt fly
and that it had been necessary for
those in charge to Withstand a great
deal of political stress while carrying
out the preliminary work.

In making blouse TOO deep round

and then outline a semicircle in the
front with row of pins, cutting 1t
evenly on fiat surface.
For the woman who does much
dressmaking at home an iron such as
tailors use, that weighs fourteen
pounds, and is called tailor's goose,
is really an essential, for with an ordi-
nary iron it is almost impossible to
do good pressing.
Don't, in order to avoid a tight
blouse, cut large armhole so as to
give more play to the arm. A far bet
ter plan is to ease the side seam. A
wide armhole causes the blouse to be
pulled out of place at the waist when
the arm is lifted.
