PANAMA GOOD OBJECT LESSON

The building Of the Panama canal

vantage unless protected from infec-

Freckled on One Side.

For years this particular young wom-
an had been troubled every spring by
having her face decorated by a coat
of perfectly awful" freckles Just as
soon as the sun began to put on its
customary vernal power. She made
up her mind recently to beat Old Sol
by staying indoors. and arranged to
do a lot Of family sewing, not so much
as a Lenten penance as to overcome
the desire to sally forth into the
streets. So for the entire six days
she remained alone at home in her
apartment while her mother was away,
sitting at the window. always with one
side of her head to the sunlight. When
her mother returned the first thing
the old lady did was to exclaim: Why.
Ellenl" The daughter sighed. Yes,
mother she said. ~Old Sol got in his
fine work as far as he could. One
side Of my face is a mass Of freckles."

COMPETITION
D|SCLOSES A PUBLIC EVIL
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. d. c., July 19.-Co-oper-
alton between railways and water
ways seems absolutely necessary to
insure a reasonable end efficient use
of the inland water-eourses OF this
country.
This conclusion is reached in the re-
port of Herbert Knox Smith, Commits
sioner Of Corporations, in part two of
his discussion of the subject Of trans
portation by water which his bureau
has been investigating for many
months. The second part of the re-
port was transmitted to President
Taft today. 1t deals with traffic by
water, and portions of it are particul-
arly suggestive and significant.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that 1T is a public evil that the
entire transportation system of the
United States should be, as now, at
odds with itself through destructive
competition, while the transportation
needs of the public suffer"
Traffic in ITSELF" the report con
tinues. lis a necessity for the proper
development of waterway State
and federal work must be supplement-
ed by private initiative, especially in
terminals and equipment and private
initiative will come only when there
is reasonable chance Of enough traffic
to make it profitable. One of the great
questions, therefore, is the question of
how to secure for the inland rivers and
canals a reasonable share of the coun-
try's traffic"
In the body OF the report. Commits
sioner Smith points out the predomin-
ance of bulk by water, and the reasons
therefor Then he outlines the practi-
cal results to be obtained from thor
ough system of waterways The en-
tire transportation system Of the
country is divided into three great
classes:
"a Rail.
90 Deep water, that, coast wise
and Great Lakes.
90 Rivers and canals.
An enormous increase has been
shown in the rail traffic. There also
has been an increase in the coast wise
traffic. On the other hand. the river
and canal traffic shows a marked de-
crease. Discussing this situation. Com.
missioner Smith. in his report, says:
THE great mass of the coast and
Great Lakes traffic is bulk. The en-.
ormous development of the Great
Lakes business is largely due to the
vast ore and grain trade moving east
ward and the coal trade moving west
ward. About 100000 tons Of ore
were transported in 1907 eastward,
and about 100000 tons of coal we're
moved westward in 1906. These great
freights, being all bulk and of uni
form character. received and deliver
ed at few central ports, have pro
duced there a very highly organized
system Of transportation and termin-
ais. and consequent low transporta-
ton cost.
The river and canal system. on the
other hand. has been losing steadily.
The New York canals and the Missis-
sippi river system illustrate this. Up
to 1856 the traffic on the New York
canals was more than twice that Of

'OTHER CITIES LOOK TO
THE NEW YORK CODE

New York. July l9.-Cities and
towns throughout the country, through
their officials, are making interested
inquiries about the new building
code just adopted by New York City.
The code has set new standard Of
safe construction which, it is thought,
will be adopted by many municipal
ties now engaged in revising their
old codes The effect of this is ex-
pected to be a general improvement
in building and a saving of millions
in the losses by fire.
The specifications governing the
standard steel and hollow tile con-
struction have been altered so as to
make it even stronger and safer than
it has been in the past
However, the most important feat.
ure of the new code is the safeguards
which it throws around the use of
concrete. Heretofore, on account of
concrete's being an experimental ma
terial, its virtues and defects not be-
ing accurately known. the regulation
of its use has been imperfect In
New York, as in other cities, the au
thorities have allowed concrete to be
used in such way that many fatal
collapses have occurred. The rules
now adopted will prevent such col
lapses.

The new code was passed after a
series Of public hearings in the city
hail. Some of the most prominent
builders, engineers, architects and in
surance men in the country appeared
and presented their views. They Of
fered volume of expert testimony to
show in what way and to what ex-
tent the various materials should be
used in building. The results of this
expert advice are seen in the finished
code.
The code goes further than any
other has gone in establishing a de
finition" of good concrete. 1t says
Just what the ingredients should be,
in what proportions they should be
mixed, and, in the case of cinder con-
crete. it specifies that only "clean an
thracite steam boiler cirders" shall
be used. The cinders must be washed,
thoroughly screened and well graded
While the code was under consider
alton, the committee in charge of it
received a number of letters from
building superintendents OF other
cities, uring the sort of restrictions
which have been incorporated. These
appeals were made because of the in
huence which the New York City
code would have upon building prac-
tice elsewhere.

NO EXCUSE FOR RAISE
N THE PRICE OF MEATS
Manager of Local Packing Company
Says Federal Inspection Should
Not Increase Cost.

According to +. G. Hatch, general man
aser of the Inter-Mountain Packing COM
pany. there is absolutely no reason why
meat should be advanced in price under
federal inspection in this city.
Government inspection of meat does
not cost the slaughter houses and pack
ing plants one cent" said Mr.. Hatch.
The only expense to the slaughter house
is that caused by the condemnation Of
cattle. sheep and hogs. When govern
mcnt inspection is I'm force buyers will be
more careful in their selection of animals
to be killed. ana no diseased cattle. hogs
or sheep will find their way to the siaugh-
terinC pens IL does not require an eX-
pert to determine a diseased animal. and
when herds of cattle are purchased the
ones which ia the slightest way show they
are not sound and fit for food are cut
out and not taken.
Government inspection and regulation
in slaughter houses iDsures meat being
put on the market which is fit for human
food. and also makes the packing COM
panies more careful in their selection Of
stock for killing. The establishment Of
city abattoir should not in any way be the
cause of an advance in Che price o.
