Diverting Their Minds.
Or perhaps the children are playing
nicely when suddenly a quarrel seems
imminent. You may warn and scold
and threaten, but it has little effect. but
if you break in at the psychological
moment with some candy or cookies the
bellicose current is diverted and peace
still reigns.
The many theories that have been
published On children make interesting
reading, and Spencer's Education" is
book that should be read by all pa
rents, but even with such aids one is
confronted with the fact that each child
is a law unto himself,
For instance, a boy-like Sentimental

he repeated it at home his mother was
shocked. He used it again and again
and all the seedlings and drastic treat

mother pretended not to hear and then

Then. again, suppose Willie Is in the

scolds, but he doesn't improve. Then
she tries another method. My, how

KEPT HORSE IN
STALL II YEARS

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. l6.
Fourteen years ago William
H. Moore, owner of two horses,
was killed in a runaway accident.
His widow said nobody should
ever ride behind the animals
again and that they should never
leave the barn.
One of the horses died two
years ago. The other horse is
still alive, emaciated and de-
formed from ding confinement.
Never having been shod for
fourteen years, the hoofs have
keep growing until they are
nearly a foot high.
The widow was arrested on the
charge of cruelty to animals.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-HazeI DeaI
has gone to the country-and that Is
perhaps as much as New York will ever
know about one of the most battling and
helpless bits of human foatsam that
the turbulence of the great city ever
cast up. Nobody knows where Hazel
came from. Nobody knows her real
name. Nobody but Hazel and the po-
lice magistrate knows where she has
gene in the country.
Several wee@s ago, very late one DARK
night, pathetic little figure. muftied
to the ears IN big coat, darted into
one of the entrances of Central Park
and scurried down a bypath. She did
not enter from the great avenue gate.
Past the benches with their belated
Ioungers and lovers she sped, past the
arc lights and into the widest parts of
the big Fairgrounds. The little figure
hurried into a secluded nook behind a
large rock IS though it was favorite
rendezvous and stopping there she
produced a vial and swallowed some
thing.
A park policeman, who. unknown to
her. had been following the fitting fig
ure. ran up and dashed the vial from
the girls hand before she could swal-
low any more of its contents. Shaking
with dry sobs. the little figure was
hurried to Plcver Hospital.
There she said she was Hazel Dean,
sixteen years old an artists model. She
admitted she had taken bichloride Of
mercury because she wanted to die.
She seemed quite impatient because the
doctors prevented her from accomplish
ing her desire.
Friends Aid Her.
Hazel at once became a prisoner. and
but for the kindness of strangers would
have gone to the island. for by the laws
OF the Empire State attempted suicide
here brings either the sought-fOr death
or Imprisonment. 1t is a crime against
the State to take ones life and il one
does not succeed In killing oneself, i'm
prisonment Is the penalty.
Since then Hazel has been n bewil-
dering mass OF contradictions. She is
about the only girl who ever achieved
the spotlight of publicity in big New
York who did not go on the stage
Hazel is pretty and had offers to 20 o.
the stage, but refused them all. Pretty
girls who get their pictures in the New
York newspapers and do not go on the
stage usually marry. Hazel received
many offers OF marriage but spurned
them all. She declared she would never
rtsrry.
The girl admitted that Hazel Dean
was no. her right name. She amended
II with Helen Fitzgerald. and then ad-
mitted that Helen might not be her
right name, any more than Hazel. She
said she came from an old Southern
family. and wanted to hide her identity

CHAPTER X.
GoethaIs a Great Administrator.

~ EGINNING July 1. 1908. Colo
x mel Goethals initiated changes
in the organization. which was
to be the final one for the ca
nal. The department Of engineering
and construction was divided into
three grand divisions, to be known as
the Atlantic. central and Pacific. In
the central division the main excava-
ton Of the canal has been made. as the
mountain chain had to be pierced with
a cut, the bottom Of which would be
only forty feet above sea level. neces-
stating digging down from the high
est point on the surface. depth Of
272 feet, between Gold and Contrac-
tors hills.
The equanimity with which Colonel
Goethals has met every unexpected de-
velopment In the construction work Is
a distinguishing feature Of the mans
mental processes. II he ever has for
one moment entertained the shadow Of
q doubt Of the success Of the lock type
canal he has not allowed his fears to
be manifested. The slides. the slip In
the Gatun dam. the volcanic evidences
in the Culebra cut. the cracks In the
lock walls. earthquake disturbances
and host of lesser troubles have not
shaken his faith.
The mammoth Gatun dam had been
begun in 1906 and by 1908 was taking
form ,'nder the constant dumping Of
rock and earth from the Culebra cut.
On Nov. 20. 1908. toe Of the great
dam slipped where the dam intersect-
ed the old French canal channel, carry
ing about 200 feet Of the structure

first years on the canal it involved an
area Of forty-seven acres, Before dirt
trains could move through the cut
steam shoyels had to work night and
day for several weeks. and from that
time onward the slides have been the
bugbear Of the organization, not be-
cause they were insuperable, but from
the extra work they involved and the
possibility that they might delay the
completion Of the project. .... ..,.-
Right then 1t was realized that the
canal involved more excavation than
the minority Of the board of advisory
engineers had estimated. Several i'm
portant changes in the plans, for the
canal came within the first eighteen
months of the Goethals administra-
ton to make the job far more stu
pendous than contemplated In the
plans of 1905. Colonel Goethals recon-
mended and President Roosevelt ap-
proved on Dec. 20. 1907. change in
the location of two Of the Pacific locks.
The revised plans changed two locks
from La Boca. on the Pacific coast, to
Mirahores. about seven miles inland.
which not only would make them safe.
from bombardment. but was q more
practicable engineering plan. A mile
and half farther inland were the Pc
dro Miguel locks, which would raise
ships the. final height to the great Gu
tun lake at Its Pacific terminal, and be-
tween the Pedro Miguel and Mira6ores
locks was small artificial lake. From
Mirafores to the Pacific sea level
channel 500 feet wide was to be dug.
Another change In the plans was ap-
proved by the president on recommen-
dations by the navy board on Jan. 10.
1908. The locks were ordered enlarged
from 95 by 900 feet to 40 feet by 1000
feet. usable dimensions, to meet the
anticipated increase in the size Of COM
mercial and war vessels.
The Pennsylvania of our navy will
be ninety-seven feet wide. or six and
one-half feet on each side Of the ship
In the locks. The Imperator Of the
Hamburg-American line is 96 feet wide
and 919 feet long, so that 1t appears
that the locks may become too narrow
before they become too short. The cost
of the locks was increased $5,OO0.00O
by the change In plans.
A third vital change In the original
plans came on Oct. %, 1908, when the
president authorized the widening Of
the Culebra cut for FIVE miles from
200 feet to 300 feet at the bottom. This
would enable ships to pass going in
opposite directions anywhere in the
cut and increased the cost Of this part
of the canal by S14,000,000 Since these
three important changes there have
been no substantial changes in the ca
nal plans except the decrease in the
proposed height Of the huge Gatun
dam. Additional excavation to the ex-
tent of 7O,S71,5 cubic yards was ne
cessitated by the new plans over the
estimate Of 103.795,0OO yards made in
1906, or total Of l74.666,594 yards for
the completed canal. But slides that
later developed and further changes In
the plans since 1908 have added A.
100000 yards to that total. bringing 1t
up to POI .0OOO0O yards. Thus Colonel
Goethals has had to dig more than
twice as much dirt as Mr.. Stevens ex-
pected to take out and has done it in
less time than was estimated for the
original yardage.
Basing his figures on the revised

provide facilities for repairing vessels
at the canal terminals.
At the close Of the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1918. Colonel Goethals could
look forward to one year more OF the
arduous labor and heavy responsibility
be has borne before the big job would
be In the clear. Invoicing conditions
ut that date. we lind that the great
Gatun dam was completed; the con.
crete work In the locks and spillway
was about 90 per cent completed; the
Culebra cut was approximately 90 per
cent completed: the relocuted Panama
railrOad was finished. and the work OF
establishing permanent shipping facil-
tiles at Ralboa and CristObal was un-
der way
Owing to fresh slides In the Culebra

tnl excavation for the completed canal
