LIFE IN PANAMA
CANAL ZONE
BY MIGUEL De MIRAFLoREs.

BY MIGUEL De MIRAFLOHES.
ANCON, Canal Zone, Isthmus OF
Panama, Sept. Your CORE
spondent will be unable to tell all
the news this week, as yesterday
was Labor day, and we took a
prominent part.
The rock breaker Is now at work
on the Pacific entrance to our
canal, and all citizens of the zone
are taking just pride in its wonder
full work. Complete detailed rec
ords are being taken of the work
performed. They are highly inter
esting.
Regular excavations continue at
Miraflores locks. What would have
been a gigantic landslide was
pipped in the bud here last week
by the construction of riprap and
concrete toe wall. AS it was, there
was no landslide at all.
Labor day was celebrated with
all the pomp and dignity befitting
the occasion. Everybody got a holt
day, except those who worked. This
was due to the kindness of Colonel
Cocktails, who issued a proclama-
ton in Culebra August %, in which
he ordered that work should be
entirely suspended as far as pos
sible."
Another ruling of Colonel Goe-
thals is causing profound regret.
The government meal tickets, is
sued in coupon book form, get lost
sometimes, and if the loser doesn' t
find them hereafter, he will get no
money back. If he does find them,
he will probably use them. "Who
is the loser and who is the win
ner?' is the question of the hour.
If the meal tickets are lost, the
Panama Railroad Co., subsistence
officer andl ocal auditor must be
notified. If the book afterward
should be found, the loser will get
it back again.

FASHION HIDES woMEN's EARS.

It looks as if ears were going out of fashion. to judge from the way they are being hidden by the latest styles of hairdressing and millinery The tur ban toque. though less alarming in size. is as effective in hiding the ears as was the peach basket hat. and now the Grecian styles of hairdressing fill the same mission even when no hat is worn. The shops in the Rue de la Paix. Paris. are showing thousands of gorgeous fillets. the broad bands being almost all in jeweled gold and silver of heavy barbaric and oriental design. These to be worn correctly, are wound closely around the head, and the hair dressers get the best effects for their customers by arranging little puffs at each side of the head so that they just ripple over and cover the ears.-New York Press.

Since that time she has heard nothing from him and nothing concerning his where abouts except an indirect report that he was in Globe sometime ago.
 Mrs. Ballard writes that her hus- band left her penniless and for no reason that she can divine. Her letter indicates that they had had no trouble and she cannot understand why he should desert her leaving her in such straits. She says she hopes some reader of The Republican may know of his whereabouts and inform her and she will be deeply grateful for any in- formation.
 Mir. Ballard was a doctor. a special ist in diseases of the stomach and bowels. and had been practicing medi- cine in Gadsden, Alabama. He decid- ed to give up practice for the winter apd to that end secured employment in drug store in New Orleans, whith- CT he went with his family on Novem- ber l. The morning of November 5th he left home as usual saying he was going to work. Since that time his wife has heard nothing from him save the vague report referred to above.
