PANAMA CANAL PROSPECTS

Dr. Henry r. Johnson, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who has
been studying for the government the
probable volume of traffic through
the Panama Canal estimates that by
1925 the American coastwise business
VIII be twice as great as it will be in
the year after the canal is opened.
The foreign shipping passing through
the isthmus will have increased, he
thinks, about so per cent.
These forecasts of the traffic of the
canal seem reasonable enough. Ex-
perience with the Suez Canal iustifies
sanguine expectations of great growth
of the commerce which will pass
through the more wonderful, If not
more necessary, highway soon to be
opened at Panama. In a different
part of the world, but in a similar
field, in many respects, the Suez Canal
has surpassed the hopes of its build
ers. 1t is steadily gaining more in
traffic and earnings than its owners
have dared to expect.
The progress of the world is grow
ing more rapid every year and the
development of Panama Canal bust
ness may far outrun all present cal
culationS.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Do you ever get into that state of
mind in which any event, any func-
ton outside of your regular routine,
seems a burden unbearable?
If you do, you may be sure that
there is probably nothing you need
quite so much as some of these bur-
dens.
Put one of them on your shoulders
at once and before you know it you
will find it has turned to wings.
A middle-aged man, who had been
keeping his nose very close to the
grindstone and consequently growing
liStleSS and nervous, brought home an
invitation to a banquet of some of his
former associates one night.
"Of course you'll co. said his wife,
who is a woman of unusual tact and
takes the same keen interest in her
husbands welfare and mental health
that most women do in their children.
mo, I don't think so,'' said the man.
Its too much work to get into my
dress suit. You know how tired am
at night. don't feel like that sort of
thing nowadays. Besides, we can't
afford it,
His wife, being, as I said, woman
of unusual tact, did not push the mat
ter just then, but later, after her
husbands outlook on life had been
frightened by a good supper, she re-
turned to the attack and finally won
his promise to make the effort which
he dreaded SO much.
And as she hoped, the effort be-
came a pleasure, the burden turned to
wings, and the break in the routine
made her husband infinitely more
cheerful, hopeful and ambitious.
He was different man this morn
ing she told me the next day, 80
much less nervous and so much hap
pier, and as full of the good time he
had had as any child"
1t is queer quirk of the human
brain that when we get to a. certain
point of WEAKNESS and nervous ten
sion, the one thing we dread the most
is relaxation. We need change, and
we need new faces and new points of
view, and yet we shrink from any
terror; we are in deadly need of get
ting out of the rut, and yet we cling
to it as if it were our only hope of
safety.
We feel as if to get through our
work and fling ourselves down in our
old clothes in a comfortable chair
were the very best thing on earth. And
so it is-some of the time. But if you
do that four or five nights out of the
week, surely you can devote the other
two or three to something that will
wake up your brain and give you
something besides the old treadmill to
think about. You will find the mental
relaxation quite as valuable as the
physical.
OF course, when we feel like this, it
takes a good deal of mental effort to
make break in the routine. But the
effort is usually many times repaid.
and the second break will require less
resolution.
why not make the first break to-
night?

walzing Up the Evangelists.

An English clergyman, visiting this
country, tells of a bishop in England
who, when a new church in his diocese
was to be consecrated, received many
letters complaining that the architect
had disfigured the interior with useless
decoration.
The bishop decided to make a inspec-
ton of the new building, and, accord
ingly, summoned the architect to meet
him there.
The bishop could find nothing wrong
until, just as he reached the cnanccl,
he CHANGED to catch sight of four wood
en- images apparently guarding the
pulpit.
''what do those figures representa-"
he asked
1.-The four evangelists."
'They appear to be asleep"
do you think sop
ST certainly do"
Whereupon the architect called out to
a man who was at work on one of the
pews:
Henry; bring your chisel and open
the eyes of the evangelists. "-Lippin-
colts Magazine.
