methods of health protection are en-
forced. Health statistics Of the Canal
Zone-sick and death rates-are mis-
leading when used In comparison with
like data of communities In the tenn
perate zone, unless the peculiar con-
ditions on the Isthmus are taken into
account.
In the first place, the American col
ony in the Canal Zone is a selected
white community, with less than the
average allotment Of women and chill
dren. All applicants for employment
are required to be In good physical
condition and all who are unable to
maintain such condition after employ
ment are deported. In this way the
force Is composed at all times Of men
who have shown themselves able to
Withstand the climate without serious
disability, and the colony Is rid OF
permanently sick or incapable class.
Furthermore, there are no aged and
infirm persons to swell the sick and
death rates. rrs 5s.-
In the second place. the health of
the American colony Is cared for as
that Of no other community on earth
ever has been. Its members are pro-
vided with comfortable and healthfult
quarters, free Of rent, constructed on
sanitary principles and supplied with
pure water. II one of them falls sick,
he can obtain free medicines free
medical or surgical attendance, and IL
taken to q hospital free subsistence
there. and full pay. provided the Pc
riod of his absence from work does
not exceed thirty days In year.
His dwelling place is cared Tor at the
public expense and all sanitary regu-
lations in regard to Ii are vigorously
enforced. He lives, In short, under
system Of compulsory health preserva-
ton which protects his physical condi-
ton on every side. In addition to all
this, he Is granted six weeks vacation
each year with full pay In order that
he may go to more bracing climate,
and thus escape the deteriorating eff
fects Of the tropics. 3
All these things must be taken into.
account In considering the question OF
the healthfulness Of the Isthmus and
of the tropics In general. and the a.
lied question Of making the tropics as
healthful region for the white man,
or the Anglo-Saxon, as the temperate
zone is. Undoubtedly. the application
OF the methods employed In the Canal
Zone to any other section Of the trop-
les would produce like results; that
fact has been clearly demonstrated:
but such application requires for sue
cess the presence Dehind IL OF r1cn
and powerful government as willing to
defray the cost as the United States
government has been In the case Of
the Isthmus. Some white men can
undoubtedly maintain as good a con-
dition Of health in the tropics, under
the method Of health protection en-
forced at Panama, as the same men
would have been able to maintain In
the temperate zone, but many others
cannot. This has been clearly demon
strated on the Isthmus. -
The visitor to the canal sees the
hardy, healthy looking young men who
have been able to remain on the job,
and judges Of the healthfulness OF the
country from them, but he does not
see those who have been obliged to re-
turn to the United States because they
could not Withstand the climate, and
there have been great many Of these.

CHAPTER XXXII.
Gathering Peril.

For twenty-four hours after FL
nette's disclosures, Ethel remained In
her own apartments, shut up with her
grief and perplexities. The count dlo
not attempt to approach her. once or
twice he arrested Finette on the land
ing to make some suave inquiry re,
garding her mistress, but that was all.
His sleepy eyes wore a very unpleas-
ant geam as they surveyed the brown
face of the French-woman, but ne
made no allusion to their previous IN
terview.
On the morning of the second day
Count Otto presented himself at the
threshold of his wife's boudoir. WaV-
ing Finette haughtily back. as she put
herself before him to oppose his en-
trance, he crossed the velvet carpet,
and paused beside the chair in which
Ethel sat, all in black from head to
foot, one hand supporting her bowed
head.
ON q table by her side lay a cable
dispatch. confirming the terrible It'd
ings of disaster and death which his
lips had been first TO tell her.
Ethel, my wife!" said the count.
She arose with a repressed shudder.
A day and a night had wrought a
startling change in her appearance.
She looked wasted and hollow eyed.
A new expression, too, was upon her
beautiful face-a mingling OF horror,
loathing and fear.

soldier, a farmer and a member of the

John C. Calhoun spent his iboyhood

In 1907 John C. Calhoun became a
lawyer in Abbeville. .south Carolina.
When England became more and more
cruel to our sailors on the high seas,
Calhoun's sense Of Justice was arous-
ed. His indignation blazed out against
England In a speech which he made
on the streets In Abbeville. ~ ti
His fellow citizens were pleased for
they remembered the wrongs they had
suffered from England during the Rev

congress to speak for them against
their old foes. It ~ gtth
One afternoon In the month Of De-
cember, 1911, Calhoun rose In his place
in the house Of representatives In
Washington to make his first speech as
a member of congress. His hair was
cut short and brushed back so that II
stood straight on top Of his head. The
young speakers eyes were dark blue
and glowed like Goals OF fire. The
young man bent forward at first as II
from bashfulness, but this was only
for a moment He soon stood erect,
his eyes began to flash, and his voice
rang out strong, clear and sweet like
the musical tones of q great bell. He
spoke of the wrongs and insults COM
mitted against our seamen by the
British. s.- .,,sbg

cent sickness. His hair was long ana
hung in heavy masses over. his tenn
pies. His speech was read by Senator

Of the incorrigibly vicious and Grim
inal.
Mr.. Editor, I am not willing to put
the poor Of South Carolina, however,
ignorant, in q class with criminals
Even In the application Of discipline
In our prisons, the light Of the gospel
Of love is beginning to shine. We are
slowly recognizing that society is
largely responsible for its own crimi-
nal classes, and that redemption not
punishment should be the aim OF the
state.
The advanced sociologist would as
nearly as possible turn the prisons In
to workshops, schools and churches.
The Froebel idea of teaching Is the
basis Of the foremost educational sys-
tems and the essence OF Frobeps
teaching Is that the child should not
be forced into learning, but loved into
learning. Mr.. Editor, apply the same
principle into getting them into school.
Cut out the word compulsion; 1t has
nasty sound.
"Dotheboys halls" are being con,
verted into well ventilated and lighted
school buildings with attractive sur
roundings, flowers. gardens and play
grounds "Wachtor Squiers" are be-
Ing exchanged for teachers devoted to
the glorious work Of awakening i'm
mortal spirits to the joys Of expression
and the love Of learning.

Christ idea. IT, II I be lifted up, will
draw all men unto me-"

help each other to lay aside selfish
ness Let US build and equip common
schools with attractive surroundings
and devoted teachers. Like a city
set upon a HILL" give us a common
school system based upon these ideas,
night before the morning sun.
Mr.. Editor, permit me to make a
practical suggestion on this topic.
Under the common law the state
can assume the guardianship Of any
child who Is neglected to such an ex-
tent that he Is liable to become a.
charge to the state. This law Is In
yoked often in cases Of illegitimate
children.
In Scotland and Norway 1t is used
In apprenticing destitute children, who
are taught elementary branches and
given trade. Many Of the best arti-
sans are trained In this way. Why not
pass a statute law that any child who
has reached the age Of IL years, and
can not read and write, the courts,
upon proper proof that the parent has
been so utterly neglectful Of said
child and the interests OF the state,
assume guardianship and apprentice
the child under such terms as the
court might prescribe? This is in ac-
cord with the common law already In
existence and does not provide expen-
sive new officers for espionage over
the families and homes Of free peo-
pie. John Lowndes McLaurin.

impatient With Office Seekers
Senator Benz. R. Tillman Of South
Carolina. according to Washington
dispatch on Tuesday, evinced his dis
pleasure at the persistency of hum
dreds of office seekers who have flock
ed to the capital since the inaugura-
tion. With characteristic vigor the
senator condemned the scramble for
Jobs. He said the situation reminded
him Of a Bible text. Il have forgotten
Just where in Holy Writ l read It," he
said. but 1t fits the case exactly and
rms something as follows: 1.-The wild
asses of the desert are athirst and
hungry. They have broken into the
green corn.'"
The senator recalled that the text
contained a reference to the wild
asses" tramping down the corn, but
he said he would leave that out: He
added that he had full faith In Pres
ident Wilson as "herdsman, who
would keep the wild beasts from do
ing any damage"
