WASHINGTON
SIDE LIGHTS
SKULLS FROM PANAMA.

Washington, Sept. 17:-The Ma
tional Museum at Washington will
have an Impressive array of more or
less damaged skulls illustrating the
history of Panama Canal digging If
Mr.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the
division of anthropology, has it's
way. DR.. Hrdlicka is now. on the
Isthmus making researches. He is
of the opinion the old burial grounds
of negro laborers will yield treas
ures in the form of skulls of various
dimensions and outlines and. he
wants to preserve them and stow
them away in glass cases in the big
new museum building which is just
nearing completion.
In a letter to Chief Engineer Goo
thals he says: There exist, IN
doubtedly, along the lines of the
canal, a number of old and abandon
ed burial places of negro laborers,
and 1t is possible that before the
present excavations are completed,
one or more such burial grounds
will accidentally be opened. In
such cases there will be found skel-
eton remains, particularly skulls
which, in a fair state of preserva-
ton, would be of considerable value
to science. 1, therefore, beg to call
your attention to this matter and to
ask that if any such crania be dis
covered they be gathered for the
United States Museum, providing
that the collections will not inter
fere with the duties of your employ
es, and that it will exercise no ad-
verse influence in any direction. In
a case free from such objections the
crania that are unbroken may be
saved, packed in one or more suita-
BILE boxes and these be turned over
to the chief quartermaster for trans
initial to the United States National
Museum"

The Get-Together banquet at first

now increased to $50 of the progress
ives, is an assured fact II will take
place in the cafe of the San Carlos
hotel next Thursday night at O'Clock,
business suits and hot weather suits
only to be in order, The Journal this
morning publishes the names of those
who are to participate. and that Pen
sacola will be benefited, and to
marked extent by this Get-Together
event is an assured fact
The object of the banquet is to de-
wise ways and means whereby Pensa-
cola may be properly boosted and ad-
vertised as a summer resort, a title
which 1t well deserves, as all VINO
know its matchless climate are ready
to agree.
In livening up matters in the sum-
mer time, and in bringing the right
kind of people here as tourists, In pro-
noting weekend excursions from tna
inland towns and in letting the outside
world know of her charms, Pensacola's
business outlook will be much brighter
during the three otherwise dull months
OF July, August and September, and
there is not business place that will
not be benefited thereby.
Inc new San Carlos Motel, which
has done much to advertise Pensacola
and put it on an equal footing with
other towns of its size, stands in need,
too, of summer patronage, and it is the
idea of Manager George Hervey, with
the cooperation of the people, to
make a live summer town of Pensa-
cola which with her natural resources
and fine climatic conditions, should be
making considerable more money than
is at present the case.
PLAN is WELL RECEIVED.
The plan has been very well re-
ceived by Pensacola people, who have
been quick to realize the down
right, hard-headed business principal
underlying the proposition.
Those who will be present at Thurs
day nights affair, as will be quickly
recognized by the following list, are
men who, when gathered together in
matter of public veal, will form a
fine, representative aggregation of
Pensacola's best thinkers, and there
will doubtless be the most valuable
of discussion.
