AN FRESHMAN IN CHINA.

Irishmen have made careers for
themselves in the most unlikely quar-
tiers throughout the whole period Of
mordern history. While the distinction
won by Irish noblemen in the service
of Spain and France and the exploits
of the Irish Brigade, who turned the
day at the decisive battle of Fontenoy,
are familiar to the world and Irish
names are found prominent among the
soldiers and sea fighters and states
men of the South American countries,
it is not so we'll knwon that they
have played their part in Russia and
in the Eastern lands. Peter Lacy was
trusted lieutenant of Peter the Great,
and employed by him in constructing
and training the Russian army. Some
of the highest nobility in Russia today
are of Irish decent, though their
names are so Russianized as to give
no hint of their origin.
This capacity of the Irishman for
winning success in foreign land re
ceived another notable illustration in
the case of Sir Robert Hart, who died
recently after serving China for forty
nine years. This keen little man had
wonderful conservative ability. It
might be objected that his family had
been settled in Ireland for only a
couple of hundred years. His ancestor
was a Captain de Ilardt an officer
who received a grant Of land from VIII
liam III after the battle Of Boyne. If
200 years do not natiopalize a family,
then surely naturalization becomes
impossible if a remote ancestor can
be traced to another country,
Whatever impulse has been given tC
the modernization of China owes much
of its initiative to the lrishman, who
adapted himself to the life and ways
of the people among whom his lot was
cast. He eXterminated piracy, estab-
lished lighthouses, introduced a postal
service and showed in himself in other
ways to be a constructive stateman.
China lost her ables. public servant
when Sir Robert Hart retired three
years ago owning to i'll health and old
age, but the European nations and
America had also reason to regret the
end of his active career-Philadelp

The ordinary way of half
sole repairing

Now, take the "RegaI Way: First,
the work is done by expert shoemak-
srs, using just the same methods by
which the first soIes were attached at
the Regal factories, The old, worm
out sole and heel are removed, A new
sole of genuine OAK-BARK TANNED
'eather is sewed on. Bear in mind
that this sole is complete-it extends
from toe to heel, and it is SEWEO
on, not nailed. A new heel, built Of
whole lifts Of this same unequaIed
stock, is attached All edges are care
fully beveled and finished, just as
they are in the Regal factories.
When you get your shoes back they
are just as comfortable and practical
ly as stylish and serviceable as when
you first bought them. And it does
not cost a lot, ether-no more than
any first-class cobbler would charge.
The next time you want your shoes
repaired bring them to this store. Tell
our salesman you want them repaired
the "Regal Way. Then you'll get a
job that looks just like the photograph

The "RegaI Way" of re-
pairing Shoes

OF course you have your shoes re-,
paired-you know you usually can get
a good deal Of additional service from
them after the first sole is WORN
OUT.
But how do you have it done? BY
the ordinary cobblers' method?
If you do, your experience has un-
doubtedly shown you how unsatisfac-
tory this method is. You most likely
get inferior materials and clumsy
workmanship. Besides this, the usual
method Of "tappng'-that is, piecing
the sole midway in the shank-giVes
the shoe a decidedly unsightly look
Then, again, the nails sometimes
used by the cobbIer cause no little
discomfort to the foot. They are driven
clear through to the inside of the shoe
and are cIinched on the inner sole.
So, when the cobbIer hands you
your shoes, they look like the photo
below, don't they?

ALARM At COLON OVER SHIFTING
Of EARTH UNDER BIG GATUN LOCK

COLON, Panama, October H.
While the American public is reioic-
ing in the prediction of President Taft
that the Panama canal will be open
in July, 1913, alarm has been occd-
stoned here by the fact that earth
around the great Gatum lock is slid
ing So far the slide has not occa-
stoned any great amount of damage,
but many persons in Colon fear dan
ger for this city. The canal commits
sion admits that the slides have Cau3-
ed four months delay in the construC-
ton of the cofferdam, but the engi-
lneers scout the theory of grave dan
ger on the great government works.
| 1t has long been moot point upon
the isthmus as to whether the ground
under the Gatun dam is strong enough
| to sustain the tremendous weight put
upon it, and whether the dam itself
will be powerful enough to withstand
the pressure of a lake 40 square
miles in extent and eighty-fve feet
deep, and what would happen to Colon
should one or the other give way.
| News of the floods in Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin serve to increase local
fears.
Shifting of the Earth.
| The official organ of the canal COM
mission prints the following:
Part of the earth bank behind the
east wall of the lower lock at Gatun
sank on the morning of September 80
and rose a few feet away. The move,
ment apparently was caused by the
rock fill which carries the tracks on
which the galloway towers run, and
only a few hours before the sinking
occurred one of the towers was on the
section which fell.
THE lock-wall mas been construct.
ed at this point to a sufficient height
to keep the moving earth from slid,
ing into the lock-chamber, and no diff.
| ficulty was experienced from this
source, but the work of repairing the
track fall took four days, and the con.
crete lying in the lower locks was de.
layed by that much. Only a week be-

lore similar SINKING under the ca
ble-way occurred on the west side of
the locks.
Movement a Year Old.
These movements of the earth at
the lower locks began above a year
ago. They are due entirely to the ma
tme of the soil which overlies the
frmer earth and rocks upon which
the locks are founded. It is singular
ly lacking in cohesiveness and moves
on a very fiat slope AS a result the
excavation in the lower locks was CON
tinually hampered by sections of the
banks falling or sliding into the pit
The total amount of material that has.
moved in this manner is probably not
over fifty thousand cubic yards, yet It
has retard excavation, and, conse-
quently, the laying Of concrete.
Four Months Delay.
The most serious consequence has
been that it has caused a four-month
delay in the completion of the Golfer
dam across the lower end of the locks,
behind which suction dredges are to
.eXcavate for the north forebay and
the wing wall. The piers for this bulk
head are now nearing completion. In
the laying of concrete the slides have
had the effect of limiting the space
in which the cableways can operate
over the lock chamber and thus of re-
stricting the amount that can be
placed
1T was believed that when the walls
were completed to a height to keep
the banks from sliding into the lock
chamber all the trouble would be past,
but the movement of the light soil
under the fills necessary for the ca
ble-way tower tracks has introduced a
new difficulty which, although not
serious, may continue to retard the
work in the lower locks"
