BE THE MAN

That knows all about your business.
Get on to the twists and angles. Get
acquainted with it and keep on in
innate terms with it. Profit by the
example of Franklin X. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior, who says man
must know all of the ins and outs of
his business in order to be successful
and so he travelled and inquired and
investigated and consulted, just to
"get acquainted with his job" Then
when he knew, he went back to
Washington and was ION the job" all
the time and, knowing his business,
he could direct and command, plan
and originate, leaving the manual Ia
Dor and detail work to his subordi-
mates. Every successful business
must have one powerful, directing
head and that head must be ION the
job of directing, using brain rather
than Drawn, taking more time for
head work and less for hand work.
This applies to every business, no
matter how small. The small busi-
ness, with heady man ION the job"
will soon become larger. Use your
head to direct the hands of your en-
ployes. To do this you must study,
investigate, plan and originate and
in this way you will always be the
man ON THE JOB.-Leon M. Hat
tenbach in The Pennsylvania Mer-
chant.

WIRELESS CLOCK TICKS
OVER THE SEA COMPARED.
Washington Observatory Getting Ra-
dio Signals From Eiffel Tower.

The naval observatory in Washing
ton is now regularly receiving time sig
nails from the observatory Paris by
wireless telegraphy between the Eiffel
tower and the naval radio tower at
Arlington, Va. These exchanges have
been going on every day for several
weeks. The scientific object is to
measure by the velocity of the propa-
gagation of radio signals over the in
tervening distance the precise differ
ence of longitude between Paris and
Washington.
The complete success of the work
had been more or less disturbed by in
references from other radio stations
and by atmospheric conditions until
finally the beats of the Paris clock, as
transmitted by wireless, were COM
pared with the Washington clock for
several minutes. This is the season
of the year when the electrical condi-
tions of the atmosphere are most ia"
vorable to such long distance work,
and it is now believed that the work
of the American and the French COM
missions ON longitudinal determine.

naval observatory are to be used by
naval photographic surveying parties
in the West Indies and Central Amer
lea.
The Washington naval observatory
was the first institution to employ re
autobiography for the transmission OF
its time signals to ships at sea to per
NIT them to check their chronometers
and to determine more accurately their
longitude 1t also transmitted suck
signals to surveying parties under the
photographic Office to enable them to
determine the longitude of points used
as bases for surveys.
In such transmissions, however, there
was the loss of a fraction of a Sec
signal on it's journey and of receiving
it, 1t was therefore necessary to ac-
curately measure this loss and make
allowances. This was first accom-
plished by the French scientists
through what is known as the method
of "coincidences." The superintendent
Of the naval observatory then suggest
ed that comparisons be carried on be-
tween Paris and Washington to solve
the problem of measuring losses.
The French government went further
than to accede to the request of the
naval observatory that American ex-
perts be permitted to take observa-
tions in Paris. 1t arranged to send a
commission Of scientists to cooperate
with an American commission in con
ducting. the test. This dual commits
sion commenced work last April.

COST OF A MEXICAN WAR.
Would Be $s5O,Ooo,ooo For 100000 Men
For Six Months.

The republic of Mexico has an area
of 765, ,537 square miles. This is as
large as all of the United States east
of the Mississippi river, except New
England and New York. 1t has pop
ulation of approximately 100000.
But more than half of these can nei-
ther read nor write. Only about 3,000,-
600 are whites, and large part of the
population is savage.
The strategy of Intervention, con-
tinues Oswald f. Schuette in Leslies.
would consist largely of hurting
against the City of Mexico two invad-
ing armies-one from Vera Cruz, on the
east coast, and one from the Texan
border on the north. The northern
army would hold at bay all the forces
of Mexico now in her northern states,
ed from the east could make speedy
work Of the fight to the capital.
The war departments plans, with
the estimate of an army of 100000
men, contemplates such show of su-
perior force that it would sweep every
thing before it. On this basis the
actual invasion might be completed
within six months. How much longer
the occupation Of Mexican territory
would be necessary completely. to re-
store peace belongs to prophecy,
An invasion by 100000 men, lasting
for six months, it is believed, would
approximate a cost of $350,000,000, al
most $2,0O0,000 day. This is an al
lowance of little more than 500 per
month per man, a conservative per
capita cost 10 put such an army in ac-
tive service and keep it moving.

No Coal Monopoly Intended.

This is the policy outlined with re-
gard to the sale Of coal and oil fuel to
vessels using the canal:
SIT was never intended that the gov
ernment should exercise a monopoly
of the coal business on the isthmus,
but to utilize the coal stored here for
the use of the navy IN maintaining
uniform prices of this product to ship
ping. In order to encourage individu-
ais and companies in the business of
furnishing coal to vessels which use
the canal the policy has been adopted
of providing storage In connection with
both coaling plants for the coal piles
of individuals and companies who de-
sire to participate in the business.
There will be a certain rental charge
for the areasiand in addition a real es-
tate tax Of 1 per cent of the value of
the improvements, should any be made,
and merchandise tax of cents for
each 1000 pounds of coal sold. The
government will do all the handling,
and charges for putting the coal into
storage and taking it out, charges for
the use of coal barges, and other labor
in connection with this service will be
fixed at cost price to the government
for such service.
'"The same policy was adopted with
reference to oil. 1t is proposed to equip
the wharf in the vicinity of the coal
ing station at the Pacific terminus and
docks No. 13 and No. IA at Mount
Hope, on the Atlantic side, with fuel
oil supply and delivery mains in dupi-
cate, together with the necessary
pumps, so that the government will be
able to handle satisfactorily all fuel
oil, including oil of individuals and
companies who may wish to partici-
pate in the fuel oil business on the 18TH
mus, on the same general terms as
those applying to the coal business"

PANAMA SLIDES
TO DELAY
Date When Big Ditch Will
Be Ready Depends Upon
Success In Dredging.

!" HAT the opening of the Panama
canal on Jan. 1, 1915, is not yet
III an absolute certainty is stated
by Colonel George w. Goethals
in the annual report of the isthmian
canal commission, which has just been
made public. Additional slides may
delay the date.
The impression generally held that
the blowing up of Gamboa dixie and
the flooding of Culebra cut mean that
the canal is practically completed is
erroneous, according to this report.
Culebra cut was flooded to allow sue
ton dredges to attack the slides, and
the first day of the canals actual oper-
alton still depends upon how fast the
dredges can work to keep the channels
open.
The report outlines the policy to be
followed by the canal authorities in
dealing with individuals or corpora
tions desiring to sell coal or oil fuels
to vessels using the canal. The gov
ernment will allow storage space and
handle the coal, charging for this serv-
ice. The supplies of fuel to be stored
for naval purposes will be used to
maintain uniform prices.
Comment regarding the form of gov
ernment to be adopted for the zone
after the completion of the canal,
which is said to have caused break
between Colonel George w. Goethals,
chairman and chief engineer of the
commission, and Richard Lee Met
calf of the commission, is absent from
the report

Water Versus Slides.

Regarding the completion of the
canal the report says:
"The passage of commercial vessels
Is dependent upon the time when
proper channels can be dredged
through the slides. Should additional
ones occur they will necessarily ad-
vance the date when this will be ac-
compliShed.
at has been the general belief that
the effect of the water in the cut would
tend to retard slides, and the expert
ence below the Gatun locks in the
sustaining power of water against
slides fully justifies this belief. On
the other hand the geologist is of the
opinion that the water may, to some
extent, develop new slides.
again, much ado was made in 1909
over the seamy character of rock on
the isthmus, through which water
flows quite rapidly, in consequence of
which the question was raised that
the lake might leak out through seams
and crevices. If these things are liza
BILE to occur, the sooner the better, if
the official opening of the canal is to
occur Jan. 1. 1915; for if the water
were. not admitted this fall, but were
deferred until May l, 1914, the full
height could not be reached until Oc-
tober, 1914, leaving little time for the
determination of these questions. These
considerations led to the conclusion
that the water should be turned into
the cut at the earliest date practicable
for getting the dredges to work on
the Slides"
Regarding the earthquakes which
frequently have been reported as a
menace to the canal, the report merely
states:
"a number of seismic disturbances
were registered, but none was so vio-
lent as to be sensibly felt in the canal
zone"
