Old Panama Landmarks Are No More

MANY villages on the Isthmus Of
AVA Panama intimately associated
with the history Of the stirring buc-
cancer days are soon to disappear
forever beneath the surface Of the
vast artificial lake which is now slow
ly filing up between Gatun and Mata-
chin.
These places we're known to Euro
pean civilization many years before
jamestown was settled or Massachu-
sets Bay was an English colony. Now
they are little more than jungle ham
let's, and nothing Of value will dis
appear when the rising waters of Lake
Gatun blot them out Of existence.
The Canal Record gives a list and
short historical sketches Of some Of
the vanishing villages. Heading the
list is the old town of Gatun, which is
already practically covered by eighty
feet Of rock. earth and water, and
other places destined to disappear are
Ahorca Lagarto. Barbacoas, Caimito,
Matachina. Bailamonos. Santa Cruz,
Cruz dc Juan Galgo and Cruces.

Ing banqueting scene at the moment
of the speeches. The young actor who
was intrusted with the role of presid-

lures appropriate to a learned dis
course. while all the time he kept his
fellow actors amused by a flow of
amusing slang and profanity with I'M

What did 1t matter? He was posing

The film was great success. 1t was
praised all over the world. especially
for the life-like attention the guests
evidently paid to the orator.
One complaint only was received. a
very severe and indignant rebuke. 1t
came from the director of a deaf
mutes' institution. where the pupils,
trained to reading of lips. had been
able to follow the unbridled license of
the orator as well as to watch his ges-
lures.

chief of the work of connecting Eng

fdent that transatlantic telephony will
come with continued advancement in
the means of increasing the range of
telephone speech. In letter to Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine he says:
AS to my views on the possibility

A MILLION miles of telegraph and
"A cable wires throughout the world
were thrown open to the tick of a
sidereal clock in the Naval observa-
tory on the heights overlooking Wash
ington at the moment 1911 changed to
1912 and Uncle Sam through them

the world. Every city and hamlet in

to foreign lands were informed at the

Nation Is to Fight the Loan Sharks

The many unsuccessful attempts to
legislate the usurious money lender
out of existence have shown one thing
very clearly, that law that comes
between the unscrupulous man who
has money to lend and the man who
wants to borrow cannot be enforced
until an agency is established to sat
isfy his need at lower cost. Recog-
MIXING this fact, philanthropic men in
nearly twenty cities, content with
reasonable return upon their invest
ment, have organized remedial socie-
ties to make loans at the lowest rates
Of interest practicable to deserving
people upon security Of personal prop
erty pledged or mortgaged.
In many cities efforts are now being
made by citizens backed by chambers
of commerce and boards of trade to
organize similar societies. Those in
operation have proved themselves q
practical and measurably successful
means Of accomplishing what drastic
legislation and popular clamor has
been powerless to do. The loan shark
has not been entirely eliminated from
the cities in which these societies OPP
crate, but his exactions have been re-
duced appreciably.
Briefly stated. the programme of the
remedial loan movement includes the
organization in alp cities of COMPETE
tive loan societies Of social nature
In the pawnbroking and chattel loan
fields; the establishment of co-opera-
tive associations for savings and loans
among employees, supplemented by
the investment of honest capital on q
reasonable money-making basis. In
all states legislation will be sought
chiefly to facilitate this competition.

wayside station In Arizona that the
New Year had arrived at Washington.
1t carried the message to the farming
town in Iowa and to waiting thou
sands in Boston.
This message awakened a spark Of
enthusiasm in the breasts of those
bsnished to the lonely Island Of Guam
to learn that 1t was New Year back
home. The men of the feet and the
ocean craft far out at sea pick up it's
message and rejoice.
All these wires and cables and cur
rents of the air respond automatically
to the ticking Of this plain old clock
at the observatory, which clock is the
official standard time regulator of half
the world. There is none of the re-
laying and delay In the ordinary trans
mission of messages for these con-
tracts are automatic and the message
Is instantaneous.

WASHINGTON.-The loan shark in
W his arrogant disregard of human
rights continues In most cities to ex-
act unreasonable tribute from the
wretched men caught in his net. Lead
Ing newspapers throughout the coun-
try have constantly denounced the
business of making small loans upon
the security Of pledge or mortgage of
personal property or assignment of
wages. Drastic laws have been in
yoked in many states against it. So
cieties have been organized to protect
victims from unjust practices, but the
press accounts are soon forgotten by
all save the unfortunate clients Of the
money lenders, and the campaign to
remedy the conditions surrounding
the business has been marked by
years Of fruitless struggle.
Laws are constantly and uniformly
evaded, ignored and defied. The gov
eminent officials and legislators have
repeatedly announced their firm in
tention to drive the loan shark out Of
existence. Grand juries have time
and again returned indictments
against these gentry, accompanying
their presentments with statements Of
extortion and oppression almost unbe-
hevable in this enlightened age, but
still this blot on our civilization re-
mains and appears to careful observ-
ers even to increase In size.
