WORTHY OF HER PLACE.

Discussing the help question: east
ern papers are disgustedly telling of
a candidate for cookship who, at an
employment agency, demanded q
photograph of the kitchen of an ap-
plicant for help" so that location
and condition of the sink, tubs and
cupboards might be known.
But really, was there anything un-
reasonable about the demand?
Wasn't the demand really indicative
that the girl was capable, expert
enced and proud to do good work?
The woman looking for a house to
rent bases her selection very largely
on condition and location of sink,
range, tubs and cupboards. The en-
gineer does not take charge of a To-
comotive without knowing whether
its boiler is or is not ready to burst
The carpenter and mason don't go
to work on building without know

without knowing something about
provisions for their personal safety.
The minister of gospel does not take
a new church without previously
looking over his quarters. No pro-
fessional man enters upon a job
wholly ignorant of its opportunities
or conveniences for successful work.
Let us get it out of our heads
that amy old thing will do for
help" and we will have to admit
that there's hard sense in the cook
who doesn't want to break her back
and her disposition over low sinks
ancient tubs and no-good ranges
The kitchen laborer is worthy of heI
place and tools as well as her hire
She knows this, as is proven by the
increasing complaint on the scarcity
of competent house help. The com
petents are simply demanding righ
conditions as are all other sorts o.
labor, and you can bet your last cen
that the kitchen competition putt
them in position to get them.

Henley wrote Captain of My
Soul" and a lot more of those sim
pie little things, full of such splendid
courage and hope and purpose, from
hospital cot and the depths of pow
erty.
There's a little verse from little
poem How Did You Die?" that ex-
presses it perfectly:
You are mauled to the earth? Come
up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down
flat; but to lie there, that's dis
grace.
The harder you're thrown, the high

The courage born of adversely, the

that there is spark of God in US

ground for. And the man who de

CANAL COST MILLIONS.
Lock System Prevails With Lake
Gatun as Water Supply.

In money the completion of the
Panama canal will have cost some
1915 100000 But no estimate of
gold can value the life and health
given by the tireless workers of the
canal to further the cause.
AS nearly everyone knows, the sea-
level canal was finally given up, af-
ter long discussion, on account of
the immense excavation work re-
quired. In its place was adopted the
present canal, which is based upon
the S5-foot level of Lake Gatan,
with locks on either side to drop the
ships back to sea level.
The Chagres river and Lake Gatun
are the working units of the canal;
for, strange to say, the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific will never meet,
fresh water working the locks. I'm
der the sea-level canal, the Chagres
river was a stumbling block, for
which an extra canal would have
been needed, to care for its terrific
floods. Under the present plan the
Chagres will be harnessed and made
to do the work of the canal.
Lake Gatun, into which the Cha
gres river flows, lies inland on the,
isthmus, in basin surrounded byI
mountains, from which there is only
one narrow escape. Across this
aperture is being constructed the i'm
mense Gatun dam, which will hold
the waters of the Chagres in check
until Gatun lake has been raised S5
feet above sea level. That will be
far above the old level, and will re-
suit in complete inundation of the
old tracks of the Panama railroad
and several towns of good size.
This immense body of water forms
what might be called the heart of
the canal. Its surface will provide
~ miles of the 50-mile waterway
with a channel some thousand feet
in width, marked by buoys and light
houses.
In the center of the Gatun dam is
spillway to allow the escape of ex-
cess waters in time of flood. Gates.
which may be raised or lowered, will
regulate the flow, which will be used
TO generate electricity to operate the
locks and the electricized> Panama
railroad.
The one possibly weak point in the
canal, as engineers consider it, is the
dependence Of the system upon Lake
Gatun for water to float the ships
through the various locks, Wer.. tha
Gatun spillway to beak or the locks
W pe IorceH by the pressure of the
"H'er, the level of the lake would
soon be lowered below the point
where it could work the canal.

CONGRESS AND TRUST DISSOLU
TION.

Having probed the steel trust to
certain extent, the democratic house
of representatives now recommends
that the same trust be dissolved;
which, as we may take it, is sort
of legislative encouragement to the
department of justice.
All of this sounds we'll, if you say
it quickly. But in view of the re-
suits of past trust dissoutions one
wonders if there is likely to be much
TO it besides sound.
Congress is not facing the trust
question squarely merely by probing
and then recommending dissolution,
or by saying to the federal depart
ment of justice: That's a good fell
low. Sic 'em, Tige!".
The trust is largely a case of too
much water in the blood and the
evil of it is systemic 1t needs con-
structive craftsmanship, not for in
effectual shaking up by process of So
called dissolution, but by the enact
ment of law that will have economic
soundness; that will be in accord
with the warning of the supreme
court in the Standard Oil decision,
to the effect that the trusts are with
us to remain and that regulation and
not dissolution is the proper course
to contemplate.
Clearly enough congress is loath
to consider this problem in it's larger
aspects, because to consider it Justly
and treat it properly is bound to re-
suit in a squeezing process which the
business interests dread, and that
through them will affect temporarily.
and without doubt acutely, the in
terests of the millions.
The system must be rid of the
poison Of 9yercapitalization; and
how to get rid Of it and avoid the
most serious effects Is the delicate
and embarrassing problem u ig A
problem, however, that statesman,
ship must face sooner or later, and
it is not to be solved by any make
shift of fake dissolution.

HOW TO COOL OFF ON A HOT
DAY.

Maybe this snake story will cool
you off bit. Anyhow, it is a true
snake story and the snake stories
you usually get are not true.
Jack Monroe is a drummer. We
guess that he is not Chicago drum
mer, because the snake is still alive.
Anyhow, Jack arrived at Stockton,
Cal, the other day and discovered in
some way that it was Sunday, and so
he knew that the stores were closed.
To kill time he took a traction car
into the suburbs and disem barking
in the beautiful evening sat down
under a fig tree and began eating
the luscious ripe figs. Soon he
dropped into Sunderland.
Readers will find it we'll to pause
here and picture in their minds a
fat drummer full of figs, slumbering
under a tree
Now, Jack had done some slumber-
ing in daytime, but ripe figs were
new to him and so pretty soon he
opened his eyes. There, coiled Just
over Jacks cargo of figs-ripe figs.
mind you-was an immense rattle
snake. Any sized rattler would have
answered, but this one was COM
prised of nine sets of coils and 149
rattle buttons, according to Jack,
and consequently far surpassed the
kind which Chicagoans are familiar
with.
Great drops of ice-cold sweat
rolled off Jacks brow and turned to
hailstones on the ground, and Lake
Erie blizzard coursed down his spinal
region. While his feet took on the
cold, clammy temperature of a
corpse, his breath exhaled in frosty
vapors, his very hide felt like wet
blanket and every nerve was frozen
with terror, his hair stood up like
brittle icicles. One always gets
these high Arctic effects when one
is full of ripe figs with rattlesnake
sitting on them ready to puncture
one. But to resume.
For several minutes, according to
Jack, he laid there motionless, while
the snake swayed it's head from side
to side, looking for a puncturabe
place in the drummer. Finally ne
(Jack) could endure it no longer.
He swatted and was stung in the
right hand. The snake calmly
crawled off into the brush and Jack
got to the emergency hospital at
Stockton just in time to save his life.
It's something like 100 in the
shade at Stockton in moderate
weather, but Jack is able to get up
shiver at any time by conjuring UP a
mental picture of that serpent brood
ing over his figs.

is IT cYNIcIsM OR SINCERITY?

Senator Ben Tillman wants Uncle
Sam to utter the last word in war
ships At least that is the substance
of a resolution offered by the four
tined statesman from South Carolina,
and with evident professions of sin
cerity.
We cannot help but think, how
ever, that Senator Tillman INDUCES
in a joke-one of those cynical With
cisms which have made his career in
the senate interesting if not famous.
He would have the federal govern
ment authorize the building of one
battleship, bigger, swifter, stronger,
harder hitting and more invulner-
able than any battleship ever con-
structed, or any that ever. can be
constructed. He figures that $685.
100000 will do the job and will end
this world race for naval supremacy
by simply striking all other nations
"all a-heap" in hopelessness of
matching the proposed achievement,
thereby putting them out of the run
ming.
From $1O,vOO,00O to $25 200, 900
is pretty stiff jump and possibly
the fighting machine which that
money could build would be the per-
petual wonder of the world. 1t may
be that not another million could
add single advantageous feature to
such ship, and that the final CT
and cessation of the navy race by all
the world would be much nearer
than most of us suppose.
Yet there are other aspects and
considerations that, according to
ones appreciation of the Tillman
keenness of intellect, must appeal to
him as weighty and altogether in op-
position to the promise of this $685.
100000 optimism.
In the matter of naval construc-
tion we have crawled from an invest
ment of tens of thousands to mil
lions, speaking in terms of dollars.
Within half a generation or such a
matter we have more than doubled
the expenditure for a single battle
ship, and this because the figure has
gone up as each nation has engaged
in the building enterprise pretty
much on the basis or after the fash
in of the auction bidder. Again and
again has it been intimated upon the
completion of certain ship that the
world was nearly to the summit of
naval achievement, but scarcely be-
fore the print was dry as to the de-
tails of the last completed marvel
naval architects had planned and
possibly the shipbuilders had laid the
keel of greater marvel. In no field
of human accomplishment does the
relative stick out so far and so OBJ
trusively as in this of building war;
ships.
So, having taken a leap to that
which we believe will be the ne plus
ultra of battleship construction, we
may almost rest assured that before
the speed test is over and Uncle Sam
has put his newest and finest fight
Ing machine into commission, big
ger and vastly more powerful ships
will be building in the navy yards of
other countries.
1t would be the same, as we be-
lieve, If we should spend 100000
900 instead of $25,0OO,OO0 Oh a sim
gle bottom; The last word in naval
construction FOR fighting purposes
will never be spoken until men in
national aggregates, like men in the
average social aggregates, learn to
live together without contemplating
the necessity for utterly annihilatinp
each other.
