BURTON HOLMES LECTURE.
Great Locks on Panama Canal De-
scribed mt Columbia Theater.


The great Gatun locks. the Culebra Cut,
the Pedro Miguel locks. and those other
familiar names which are associated in
the public mind with the Panama Canal
were made to mean a great deal at the
Columbia last night, where Burton
Holmes lecture on Panama afforded
capacity house an exceptionally clear
Idea OF just what Uncle Sam has done
is doing, and intends to do in the digging
of the Panama Canal
Contrasting the methods and equipment
of the French regime with those OF the
present. Mr.. Holmes by motion and still
pictures showed the Canal in various
stages. The making and placing Of con-
crete used in building the great Gatun
locks. the enormous Gatun dam, now
finished, and the cutting of Culebra Cut
were graphically described, while the mo-
ton picture showing the work of the
giant steam shovels in the cut conveyed
some impression of the enormity of the
task confronting Col. Goethals and his
associates.
The removal and dumping of the dirt
by means Of the giant scraper attached to
the dirt trains proved but one OF the
many examples of economy and efficiency
in the installation of time and lahor-saV-
ing devices for work on the Isthmus.
To give a better idea OF just what the
canal will do when completed, Mr.. Holmes
showed by motion pictures the passage
of vessels through numerous other canals
in different parts of the globe, and for the
purpose of comparison showed a liner
traversing a few miles of the Suez Canal
Mr.. Holmes will repeat his lecture on
Panama" at $3.50 this afternoon. and next
Sunday evening will have THE Glories Of
India" as his subject.

HOME RULE IN DISTRICT.
DIR. Thomas Z. VIII Speaks from
Religious Point of View.

Home rule in the District from an ethi-
cal and religious point of view WAS dis
cussed at the Peoples Church. 643 Louisi-
ana Avenue Northwest, last night by DR..
Thomas z. VIII, executive secretary OF
the District of Columbia Suffrage League.
ITO live the largest life, people must
meet material requirements" DIR. Will
asserted. Poverty is inimical to the
highest life.
Because poverty and the conditions
incident to 1t are here. and because We
are barred from relieving them through
not having political powers, We are max
ing a political fight simply as means to
an end.
When we are given control of our po-
litical affairs we shall start campaign
to work out the economic problems. a
campaign to abolish the slums, control
the monopolies, and put the city upon a
basis Of benefit to the ordinary man.
Then, appeals to the higher side of
mans nature will not fall upon deaf
ears"

PHYSICIAN TELLS
HOW TO Be HAPPY
DR.. Charles E. Barker, President
Taft's Physical Trainer, Ad-
dresses Y. N. c. A.
LAYS DOWN THREE RULES
LEADING TO CONFINEMENT
Don't Be Angry Before Meals and
Take Plenty of Exercise,
Recommends Expert.

DR.. Charles z. Barker, physical ad-
wiser to President Taft. in an address,
The Finest of All Fine Arts-the Art
ernoon before the Y. NJ. c. A, laid down
some rules for attaining health and hap
piness- He recommended exercise and
discouraged Fletcherizing.
How often we meet a man who seems
to be most highly placed and apparently
most favorably situated said DR.. Bar
ker, yet who seems to have suffered a
sort Of catastrophe of character; how
often we may note the loneliness he ex-
periences, and the absence of real JOY.
Yet II Is possible for any one to be
always happy. under any circumstances
whatsoever. I have seen men who were
born with a crouch; men who started
apparently with not a sunny spot in
them; yet they learned happiness as
they learned arithmetic until finally they
developed into the cheeriest and most
amiable Of companions"
Definition of Happiness.
=, Dr. Barker defined happiness as ''the
state OF being entirely fitted into ones
surroundings until one completely har-
monies with all the circumstances of
life" He gave three rules OF obtaining
happiness:
Always be well physically.
Be absolutely content in your place
without losing ambition.
Get into relationship with God
1T is perfectly possible for any one
always to be WELL" declared DR.. Bar
ker. so long as the vital organs have
not been injured or their functions
changed by disease, any one may ac-
quire good health and enjoy it 365 days
in the year. Good health is a matter of
good blood. With the blood in perfect
condition. it is absolutely impossible to
catch any disease. no matter how con-
tagious. This statement is the result of
years OF research and observation. Good
blood may be obtained by exercise, taken
every day without fail. moderation in
diet, and a cheerful mind.
Hits at FIetcherizInE
The exercise should be designed to
stimulate the organs of elimination. In
eating 1t isn't necessary to Fletcherize:
in fact. if there's anything that will
make a man disguised with his food
it's the habit of Fletcherizing. l know,
because l tried ii.
Don't get angry before meal time If
you do, 1t will stop the process OF d.
gestion for an hour after. The effect
OF the mind upon the body is enormous.
Many men have chronic indigestion
simply as a result of worry, anger,
fretting, and irritation"

WILSON MAY HAVE
TEN IN CABINET
Democrats Sure Department of Labor
Bill Will Be Put Through
the Senate.

The prospects are bright that President
Wilson will have ten. instead OF nine.
Cabinet positions to proffer members Of
his party. Senator Borah of Idaho eN-
pressed the opinion yesterday that the
Senate would pass the coming session the
Department of Labor bill put through
the House last summer
This view is quite generally shared by
leaders in Congress. The Department
of Labor bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative SulZer OF New York. Demo
Gratis are so certain that the proposed
new department will be created that they
have already launched two or three
booms for men supposed TO be available
for the labor portfolio.
Among those mentioned are Charles
T. Neill, Commissioner OF Labor. and
Representative William B. Wilson Of
Pennsylvania. chairman of the House
Committee on Labor. Mr.. Wilson was
defeated at the last election.
He was for many years prominent as a
labor leader among the coal miners OF
Pennsylvania. Mr.. NeiIl will have strong
backing for the place IL it is put at the
disposal of President Wilson.

BULL MOOSE HERD
CALLED TO ARMS
Senator Dixon Sends Out Invitation
for Faithful to Gather
in Chicago.
GOSSIP OVER THE LEADERSHIP

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon Is counting
on a big Progressive gathering at Chi
cago next month, when there will be
two days Of conferences and discussion
between the new party leaders from dif-
ferent sections OF the country.
Some OF the Progressive Senators and
Representatives think that the date for
the meeting, December 10 and II, is
rather unfortunate for them, because
Congress will be in session, and their
presence is expected in Washington.
To avoid such an excuse-if any be
offered for nonattendance-Senato Dix
on. as chairman OF the national Pro-
gressive party, is sending letters to Sem
ators and Representatives who are in
sympathy with the movement, setting
forth that the meeting will be one Of
the most important in the history of the
party and pregnant with its future de-
velopment.
Since the election there has been no
formal meeting OF the national leaders
OF the Bull Moose party, and it viii
not be possible for any such coming
together until next week. when there
will be an influx OF politicians of all
shades into the National Capital.
That there are differences Of opinion in
the Congressional wing of the Progress
sives is manifest by the attitude some OF
them have assumed.
The line of demarcation, OF course, is
not clearly drawn thus far: but 1t is quite
apparent that the future Of the Progress
sive Republican movement hinges entire
Iy on the question of undertaking to re-
form and reorganize the old Republican
party on strictly Progressive tenets or
joining the third party and dropping the
word Republican" entirely as a party
designation
Promises TO La Toilette.
In this connection talk is heard from
Western men that Senator La Toilette
and his supporters will undertake to re-
create the Republican party and elm
mate all of its stand-pat, ultra-conserva-
tive and reactionary tendencies.
In the opinion OF some of the Wisconsin
Senator'S friends he has already received
substantial assurances OF support for the
nomination four years hence from some Of
the stand-patters themselves. including
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania.
On the other hand. the radical Progress
sives seem determined 10 keep in the
middle of the road and to go forward
from the Chicago meeting and organize
! campaign of education. the like OF
which this country has never expert
enced.
Some of the Progressive Senators, as in
the case Of Senator Works, favor a sort
| of compromise between the two divergent
views now existing in the Progressive
camp.
These men incline to the belief that
within a year. or at least before the cam
paign of 1914 opens up. events will Justify
a union between each discOrdant element
| OF the Republican party.
