In one respect at least, Panama is
like no other Latin-American city that
have seen. 1t has no distinctively
residence quarter. Now that we have
seen where the people do business,
let's see where they live" said to my
amateur guide.

the shops in all parts of the city-all

Colon, C. z.-Frequently the Off
cials of the Republic of Panama
the minor ones-have been ridi-
culed for the combination OF stu
pidity and pomposity that governs
their conduct. Sometimes the rid
icule is not deserved. but often 1t is.
Some months ago an American resi-
dent of the city OF Panama imported
pair of riding boots from the states,
and in his manifest submitted to the
native customs authorities he so listed
them, with the price, $3.50. The paper
was returned to him with curt instruc-
tons to correct it, Not knowing how
he had erred, he consulted the customs
man and was told the boots must be
listed as two separate articles. thus:
"One riding boot. value $4.75; one rid
ing boot, value S475." Mr.. American
complied silently, and received his
boots.

The lsthmus of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence Of a large
number of British subjects-the Ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side of the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people of that island
are Intensely proud of being subjects
of King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.

NEW WATER MAIN TO

Residents of National Road
East to Get Service With
in Ten Days.
PLANT IMPROVEMENTS

The residents of the National road
east will be served with water within
ten days in the opinion of Howard
Dill, superintendent of the water
works company. The work ON the new
twenty inch main is progressing rap
idly and with the average amount
which is being laid each day should
pc completed to the pumping station
within two or three weeks.
No water can be run through the
new main, it is thought, for at least
two months and it will not be con-
nected at the pumping station until
the improvements there have been
completed. Bids have been asked on
improvements for the plant.
In order to serve the National road
residents, the water will be run back
from the city through a valve at
Twentythird street and the patrons
will be closed off at the fair grounds.
The installation of a five or six mil
lion gallon engine at the plant is now
planned and when the specifications
have been completed, bids will be adj
vertised for. The building will be en-
larged to the north, south and west,
making almost new engine room.
The boiler room is comparatively new.
Mr.. Dill is also working on a report
which was asked by public service
commission as result of the COM
plant of the city of Richmond against
the rates charged by the company Not

of the commission, will any action be
taken on the complaint, in which City

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. is.
I-Devotees of pistol shooting among
the officers and enlisted men here
have been much concerned over a
possibility of having to reduce their
practice since the adoption of the
Colts automatic pistol, caliber As,
because of the greatly increased cost
Of ammunition over the old .38 cali
Der revolver ammunition which was
reasonably cheap and within the
means of all. Now comes the ord
nance department with the news that
following in the footsteps Of the
manufacturers of the larger caliber
automatic pistols abroad, it has de-
signed and manufactured a % cali
Der barrel and cartridge holder to
be used with the new autoHatic
with an almost negligible cost for
ammunition. According to the report
of the ordnance department, the new
design consists or barrel similar to
the regular pistol barrel and oper-
ated in the same manner, but having
a % bore eccentric to the axis and
so placed that the upper edge of the
cartridge rim will be. struck by thu
present firing pin. The caliber %
cartridges, which may be of the
model known commercially as long"
or short" are placed in steel cart
ridge holders similar in form but
slightly smaller than the regular AS
caliber ball cartridge. These steel
cartridge holders are loaded into the
magazine and fed into the chamber
like the regular cartridge, except the
slide must be operated by hand. as
there is not sufficient recoil from the
reduced charge to operate the pistol
automatically. The chamber of this
barrel has been made slightly small
er than that of the regular barrels in
order to prevent caliber As ammu-
milton being used through mistake.
The ordnance department expects to
be able to issue these attachments
to all organizations of the regular
army and the organized militia
armed with the new automatic pistol
before the end Of the target year OF
1914. -
