when asked how he found time to ac-
complish so much. answered: Il find
time, by never losing it" This an
swer is the secret of success. To sue
coed you must be up and doing. Mil
lais said: Il work harder than any
plowman; my advice TO boys is work -
The old German inscription on a key:
IF 1 rest I rust.''-is as true of men
as it is Of the iron in the key.
VI.
Stands for sobriety. The world
OF business has put a ban on the
drinking man. Every line OF business
is barring ont the man who drinks
One secret Of the growing success Of the
Jew in America is his sobriety. Sobri-
ETY. must characterize the man who can
hold his place in the contest for place
and power The business of the coun-
try. both large and small. is conducted
today by men who don't drink. You do
not, as q rule. find successful men
lined up at the bars; they are usually
the fellows who either now are. or are
on the road to become loaferS. Take
any community in any city or the
country and as it has become success
ful it has become more sober.
VII.
S-stands for service. Useful work
done for others. To slop over a. job
is equivalent to stealing. When a
man puts into his work the best that
is in him he can. like Longfellow's
Village Blacksmith look the whole
world in the face and fear not any
man. Some mems only aim is to get
through with their work. TO get the
money regardless Of how the Job is
done. The majority of workmen need
to'be watched. 1t is becoming increas-
insly difficult to find honest help.
There is no country in the world
where there is so much poor work
done as in America; things are &C
tually thrown together so that often
European goods are cheaper at double
the price A servant girl had the cor
rect idea of what practical religion

Noon. Canal Zone. June s.-De

u NEON. Canal Zone June 3.-De-
~ spite all that is done by the
United States to make living on
the isthmus healthful and profitable,
1T would be an immensely difficult
proposition to maintain a competent
force for building the canal were these
things not supplemented by efforts to
Danish inconsistencies. The climate
does not interfere with the health OF
the people, but at the same time any
one who stays here through a year of
1t becomes depressed, and visions of
the home country, with its Dracing
weather. its familiar scenes and it's
fond ties, begin to float out on the
curling wreaths of smoke from pipe
or cigaret.
Here Uncle Sam steps in to prevent
another case Of Inconsistencies and an
other departure Of a tried and true
man for the states. The whole canal
force is invited out to play, and while
che government still feels keenIy its
inability to provide a full measure OF
rational amusements, those which are
provided have helped to maintain the
working force on the canal more than
an expenditure of twice as much for
recruiting service would have done
Holidays on the Canal
On holidays all roads of the canal
zone lead to the Tivoli hotel. Here is
place where cool breezes, cosy We
randa corners, pleasant people. at
tractive meals, and many other good
things conspire to Danish the blues.
The, canal emplOye is always made well
come at the Tivoli, for he is the gov
ernment's favored guest. The social
organizations Of the canal zone meet
in this hotel the big dances are held
in its ball room and the Tivoli club
has Its headquarters here.
When 1t was decided to build club
houses in the principal towns to be
operated under the auspices OF the Y
NJ c. A. step was taken that has
proved of Immense value in the build
ing of the canal In these Y. NJ C. A
clubs the young men meet, play games,
read, talk and otherwise find diver
sion. And the girls are not forgotten.
The dancing clubs give dances, the card
clubs, card parties. and so on at thece
club houses. A liberal view of the
amusement problem was taken by the
T. M c. A authorities and every sort
OF healthful amusement was encour-
aged.
Clubs Reduce Drunkenness.
The result was that the consumption
of bad whisky and worse beer fell off
at least so percent in the towns where
the clubs were established. The men
we're social beings, and they had to
meet somewhere. and until these clubs
were established, the bar was the only
place open TO them. Now they have
bowling alleys, billiard rooms. gymna-
Sums, libraries. dark rooms for cam
era clubs, soda fountains, lounging
rooms, and so on under the direction
of the Y NJ. c. A
{ The secretaries in charge of the club
houses form bowling teams, organs.

ent tournaments in progress The chess
and checker clubs, glee clubs, minstrel
clubs. camera clubs, Bible clubs, and
the like, catered to the varying tastes
Of the men.
In the reading and writing rooms one
finds more comfort than in the public
libraries of the United States There
are easy Morris chairs where the tired
worker may rest while perusing his
favorite magazine. studying his tech
nical journals, or looking over the news
papers from the principal cities of
the United States
The gymnasiums are very popular,
total of 10000 men using them dur
ing the year In connection with reg
ular classes in physical instruction
there were many games Of indoor
baseball and basketball played. Three
opera trains were run during the year
to Panama, thus giving the zone
dwellers an opportunity to hear grand
opera at the Panama National theater.
There are now six of these club houses
on the zone.
Baseball League Formed.
There is a regularly organized base
ball league on the zone. some six towns
furnishing the teams. The season runs
from January to April The commits
sion furnishes the teams with free
transportation when it is able to do so
When any of the ships of the navy call

1t was realized early in the history
of the canal work that it was highly
important that something should be
done to keep the minds of the women
Of the canal zone occupied, for if they
became homesick there would be no
chance to keep married men on the
isthmus- The American Civic fedora
ton was asked to send down an ex-
perienced woman to map out a line of
activities for the women from the
states She set to work and organized
women's clubs in all the principals
towns, all tributary to general feder-
alton OF the clubs with headquarters at
the TivOli- This movement has succeed
ed admirably, and has proved a great
aid to the governments efforts to keep
the employees on the canal contented.
Through these clubs the women find
opportunity for charitable and other
work that is helpful TO the community
as well as to themselves.
Holiday Season Not Forgotten.
The holiday seasons are not forgot
ten down here. Every body turns out on
Christmas eve and Christmas day. and
il is estimated that fully 1000 children
took active part in the Christmas exer-
cises on the canal zone. Toys valued
at thousands of dollars were distrib-
uted. and everybody was made happy.
Wherever a legal holiday falls on
Sunday the canal employees are not
cheated out of an extra day OF the sew
en- because of that fact The next ray
after is kept instead. and the canal
zone is then given over to making
merry. Extra trains are run and all
hands are given opportunity to enjoy
themselves in their favorite ways. The
West Indians and the Europeans usually
take it out in clandestine cockfights
and similar amusements. The Fourth
OF July is the red letter day Of the cal
endar. Americans. Spaniards, Panama
