WOMEN QUEER UNCLE SAM
THE ON PANAMA CANAL JOB

PANAMA, Isthmus Of Panama,
Sent. 4.-Chaining the Chagres
river-and keeping it chained-is a
great problem. Housing and feed
ing the workmen, cutting away
acres Of solid rock at Culebra and
Bias Obispo and disposing of the
excavated material are others. But
the greatest problem Of all-you
could never guests woman.
In the first days, when canal men
lived in tents or the decayed huts
left by the French, the zone was
no place for woman. And man,
put where woman is not. is poor
thing. Besides there was lot of
malaria and yellow fever knocking
about. So the homebound steamers
became crowded. and this became
the oft-told story:
I'm sorry to quit the job, but |
can't stand this separation from
my family any longer"
The men who were running

Wen build cottages where men
may live with their families; we'll
furnish these cottages well, and
then the men will be satisfied to

Now behold the working out OF
this fair plan. The man came and
the wife and the child. The man
had steady employment at big pay
and he seemed satisfied. The child

husbands go along.
ut takes about three months for
woman to make up her mind" a
married man here told me. "Then
the husbands know whether we're
to stay on the job or not. OF course
there are plenty of wives who are
content to stand it, saving $3.50 a
month or so, borne up by the
thought of the things they can do
when they go back to the states
with the stake at the end of two
years or so. But there are also
plenty who aren't, though they're
not leaving the way they used to-"
Then there is the wife who will
not come to the canal at all. Her
husband never becomes an oldtimer
in the zone. There also is the hus-
band who would not ask the wife
to come here. His canal digging
days, too, are usually short.
But how about the unmarried
woman? She comes as nurse, a
school teacher or telephone oper-
ator. Perhaps she is a man hater.
Then she will be an isthmian sue
cess. But if she is not, and be she
beautiful or be she not, it's fine
bet that soon she'll be married.
She'll probably have so proposals
or so, counting those of her steam
er days. OF course she'll weep a
little and-you know-but there's
pretty sure to be someone in the
lot that she isn't positive she
wants to see get away. So there
you are again. There'll be nothing
doing in the zone school house
next term. A man goes to the tele-
phone switchboard. The hospital
superintendent is at his wits end.
Likely as not she and the husband
will go honeymooning to the states.
That usually means no more it'll
mus.
! The complication is not peculiar
to the Caucasian race. The black
brother came, $4,000 of him, from
Jamaica, from the Barbados, from
Martinique, from everywhere but
the United States, and he's a-yearn-
in too.

NOTHING DOING
THERE

The Washington Water Power
company went to the trouble of
running cars to Natatorium park
yesterday in order to accommodate
the crowds of union men and their
families who were expected to
flock there to spend the day. One
of the noticeable features of the
enterprise was that the cars were
empty and the park deserted. The
Traction company carried 10000
people to Mantle park Yesterday.
This patronage has In the past
gone to Natatorium park. If the
recent increase in the Garments
wages, amounting to about so cents
per hour, is not cut down and the
local monopoly continues to fight
the local unions, there seems to be
a possibility that the company will
not declare a 100000 dividend next
year.
