Most Orderly Community.
From Scribner's.


In all this wide. wide world the most
orderly community is that of the Panama
Canal Zone. Here is the least crime; ;
here are the fewest misdemeanors. the
least exercise of the functions of the
courts, the most Industrious. the fewest
idlers, absolutely no poor. equally con-
spicuous the absence of the rich.
With its steam shovels working like
sentient beings: it's locomotives rushing
about like screaming busybodies; its
cement buckets Swimming over the earth
and riding the air to perform their varied
tasks: with the long dirt trains weaving
and turning on their tortuous tracks like
pythons: still the most persistent i'm
preston is of beauty. orderliness and
propriety.
The greatest public work the world has
ever seen is carried on not only with un-
RENTING diligence, enthusiasm and hon
esty. but with elegance, a high stand
ard of living and a morale to which the
oldest and most opulent cities have never
attained. These are the words of truth
and SoberneSs. The problems Of the en-
gineer are greater than man has ever
before encountered but In kind. The
cubic yards of dirt and cement transcend
experience, but only in bulk. 1t is the or
ganizatiOn that is without precedent in
the whole history Of public wOrks-it is
this that is the eighth wonder of the
world. In this organization there Is no
detail so minute not to have received at
tention: from the most puzzling prob
lens in engineering to the American
youths love of ice cream nothing seems
to have been left unconsidered. This
elaboration of detail has doubtless been
gradual but to the visitor coming upon
it's completeness today the impression is
staggering, and not unmixed with envy.
