The first time old Margarita, the
orange woman, gave me instead of
change something about the size of
a dollar wrapped in brown paper I
thought she was playing jokes on
me. When / found it was tobacco,
u was angry, for it isn't pleasant to
feel that even the jungle folk know
you for a chewer.
But have forgiven her since, for
! know now that tobacco Is a part
Of the currency of the canal zone
and the republic Of Panama. The
smallest Panamaiian coin is 10
cent piece, whose purchasing pow
ter Is that of the American nickel.
Consequently, when you are en-
titled to change less than a nickel
lit is given you in tobacco, chewing
or smoking, all tied up ready to be
passed out The dime is the small
est American coin ever seen here.
1t is natural to suppose that the
panama hat-the sombrero-like
800 aair, ] mean--is made in Pan
anna. But 1t isn't. There are en-
terprise, thrift and good swamp
grass In hat like that. None Of
those things grow In Panama. Such
headgear comes from Ecuador, an
other thousand miles to the south.
The real Panama hat-the one

An agitation has been commenced for
reform in the ballot laws. Even the Lon
don Times, extremely conservative. in mat
ters of this character, says that the new
House of Commons Is emphatically of the
twentieth century, but that its methods
are still largely those of the middle ages.
One OF the first inquiries by Parliament
in considering election reforms will be
in the matter OF canvassing. The question
is already being asked why canvassing is
still tolerated. The ballot itself assumes
that the elector votes in secret and that
no man has right to ask him how he
has voted. But the candidate himself
rarely refrains from asking an intending
voter how he intends to vote. Many other
reforms besides those OF canvassing are
being proposed.
