Panama Canal

Four years hence the Panama canal
may not be completed, but 1t will be
so nearly finished that there can be
better idea of just what 1t means to
the coast. There will be an awakening
to these possibilities that will have
its effect. Preparations will be under
way to meet the conditions that are
inevitable. California should double
its population within FIVE years after
the canal Is f1nished.-Santa Barbara

Crooked Gambling House

The evidence of Morse's ice-pool
transactions is that frequently Morse
bought and sold more stock than the
Stock Exchange clearing house sheets
show. This was done by wash sales,
the Stock Exchange facilities being
used to make fictitious quotations over
the ticker. This makes out the Stock
Exchange to be not only a colossal
gambling house but a crooked gam
bling house.-New York World.

Hosiery Decorations.

Since the fad for decoration has be.

talent for fashioning flowers and bow
knots with her needle is decorating
the fronts of her hosiery from toe to
ankle with quaint designs. These are
of natural flower tints on the delicate
hosiery worn with evening gowns and
in self tints for those matching street
costumes. Sometimes lace butter
flies and bow knots are used as in
serts. first being appliqued upon the
webbing which is then cut away from
