Work Done-one Boss Especially
Fortunate.

Washington, June 5.--Music is play
ing an important part in the digging
of the Isthmian canal. Laborers from
the West Indies are all accustomed to
sing as they work and the bosses who

who do not have that faculty. The re-
ports the commission has received
from the officials of the canal indi-
cate that one boss has developed
songs which have inspired content
ment and energy among his men with
the result that he has outdistanced all
rivals in the amount of work accom-
