dances and parties. They are also
ardent rooters for the baseball teams
OF their sections. The Jamaica me-
groes ape the English In their amuse-
ments az far az possible and even tho
negro boys play at cricket and play II
we'll. The chief amusement of the
negroes. however. is riding on the
trains and sometimes their entire
months wages go for this purpose.
They simply cross and rccross tho
fsthmus as long as the money to pay
car fare lasts.
Fairgrounds for the children have
been established and special play
ground teachers have been brought
from the states to take charge of the
work. The women's clubs are inter
ested In these and have raised a large
amount OF money for extra equipment
for the grounds.
1t is not the purpose OF the writer
but many of the social affairs are con-
nected with church work. and these
are encourage by the commission
they interest the women. A number
OF suitable buildings to accommodate
those who wish to attend religious
services have been constructed. Sew
erai OF these buildings are two stories
and the upper rooms are used as
lodge rooms for the various fraternal
organizations and tho lower floor for
church services. Ladies' Aid Societies.
Women's Missionary Societies. Altar
Guilds. etc. are connected with these
churches. and attending meetings OF
these different societies consumes much
OF the time OF the women who are In
tercsted In church work. The negroes,
too. have their Sunday schools and the
Salvation Army has done excellent
work among the Jamaicans. A build
Ing was given at cristobal to the Sal
vation Army. which began it's work
In the zone eight years ago. The ma
jority OF tho Salvation Army workers
on the zone are Jamaicans. and their
work In almost entirely confined to the
negroes.
Every means is employed TO afford
to the workman. AZ far az conditions
will permit. the same healthful and
innocent diversions he has at home.
and the success OF the commission In
this respect liz evidenced by the com
paratively few men who now return
to the states solely on account of the
cvcntless. monotonous life on tho canal
zone.

The great improvements made I'm the
methods of manufacturing fine cotton
clothes IN this country make II possible
To secure most of the materials In
kAmerica. Frequently however. a for
eign design Will be copied For exam
pie, since the bordered materials have
been In vogue. American factories have
been giving special attention To designs
of thu kind. The first OF them were
brought over from Europe and frocks
manufactured of them were placed on
exhibition In the rooms of a dealer who
supplies large numbers Of lingerie
dresses throughout the country. The
cotton cloth manufacturers were invlt-
ed to SEQ the dresses and were then
told that they would be expected To
furnish materials In similar width and
quality with the same bordered effect
Within few weeks samples were SUBJ
mitted and the orders for the fabrics
were placed, Very few of the matcri-
ais In the cheaper lines of colorcd
lingerie dresses are now imported, al
though they are frequently sold an

Formerly the ready made clothes Of
women were confined to suits and
waists. but with the coming OF tho
one piece dress. came plenty Of models

ment Mt prices which frequently seem
marvellous. The semi princess models
have many advantages and one is that
they are much easier to put on than
the waist and skirt. The oft -repea ed

The one-piece dress brought with II

who require a different costume for

but almost any sum might he charged

II Is not always easy to persuade
capable men to leave good positions at
home and to go to an unknown land,
and 1t Ii still harder to keep them
there. for when the feeling of 1lome-
sickness steals over the mind the pros
pect of high wages has little charm.
This Is especially true OF Panama.
where for a time II was difficult to
Keep enough efficient workers on the
zone to manage the unskilled labor
from the West Indies HomesIckness
In the early days OF the work caused
the loss of more good workers than the
ravages of yellow fever. for the men
returned to the States after remaining
a few months on the Isthmus. The con-
stant breaking In OF new men retarded
the progress of the work besides being
expensive. After a time a country like
Panama has depressing effect on the
mind. The continual heat. rain and
ssameness about everything causes the
average man to long for his home In
the states. Things go very well during
the day while he Is at work but In the
evening when the days work is done
there comes that irresistible feeling Of
lonesomeness. The canal commission
ers were not slow In realizing that
something had to be done to combat
with this state of affairs. so matrimony
was encouraged and sweethearts from
the states began to arrive. For time
1t seemed that all the employees would
become benetl'cts, While family life In
a measure did succeed in making them
better satisfied with life on the 1sthmus.
even the married man likes occas sional
amuscmcnts outside OF his home, and
again the commission took up the sub
jcct of amusemcnts and erected num-
ber OF clubhouses In the different towns
on the zone. These buildings were
placed I'm charge of the Young Mems
Christian Association Of North America.
Trained secretaries were sent and
sort OF amusement division was formed.
This division has charge of the recrea-
ton and social life OF the employees and
their families. The work has had a
marked effect upon the employees In
many respects. for few men now desert
their work on account of inconsistencies
and the amusements furnished educate
as well as entertain-in fact, many OF
the so-caled amusements are Of the
uplifting type and are teaching the
