IS LAST OBSTRUCTION
TO CANAL NAVIGATION.
Engineers With Big Force Opening
Way Through cucaracha Slide.

The task of opening a way through
Cucaracha slide, the sole remaining OBJ
stacle to the navigation Of the Panama
canal has been carried on as rush
work" since the blowing up Of the
Gamboa dixie. according to the Canal
Record.
The engineers have been putting
forth herculean efforts to clear navi-
gable channel through this nearly half
mile long obstruction. but owing to the
peculiar mobility of the vast mass Of
earth and rock the work of hundreds
Of shovels and thousands of gallons of
jetted water is often undOne overnight
by a slumping back into place Of the
material removed or by additional
slides from the sides of the channel.
A ton and a half Of dynamite was
exploded in one blast Oct. 10 without
any substantial result so far as in
creasing the flow of water across the
dam was concerned. Since that date
three shifts of men, working eight
hours each in rotation, have been try
ing to create a channel by sluicing
with hose and hydraulic monitors. Be
fore this attack the material had been
yielding slowly. and finally the en-
gineers have utilized big suction
dredge.
Meanwhile the sharp rise in the level
of Gatun lake Oct 81 has increased
the size of the ditch so that now 7000.-
900 cubic feet of water daily is pass
ing over the slide, and by this time
sufficient water has been admitted to
fill the two miles Of Culebra cut be-
tween the slide and the first of the Pa
cifc locks. enabling the big steam
dredges to enter the cut and operate
on the earth barrier.

William Booth. Bramwell Booth was
about ten years old when his father
launched his evangelistic work at Mile

Booth began at the bottom. Though
he was his fathers favorite son, he
was not spared. He was disciplined in

AFTER THREE YEARS ABSENCE
How New York Strikes Returning
Son of the Gay Metropolis.

son Oh the Ody metropolis
when I was here a few years ago
| used to like to walk up Fifth ave
nue., because l could see crowds of
the incest, prettiest, sweetest Amer
lean girls-the dandiest girls to be
found anywhere in the world. And
now-well, excuse me-" Thus spoke
Burr Mcintosh, noted actor, editor,
photographer and man Of the world,
who returned to New York the other
day after a three years absence.
What is it which disturbs me?
Why, the girls wearing the most RI
diculous clothes, the narrow slit
skirts, the outlandish, absurd fash
ions, girls with their hats brought
down over their cheeks, high school
girls painted and rouged and powder
ed up to 'ook like old women. And
all the women painted and powdered
and dressed like young girls. There
never was anything like it before.
IT notice that every woman in
New York with a pretty ankle is era
zy to show it. And she knows just
how to go to work-just the way to
hold her dress, Just the proper curve
of her leg.
IT'S mighty hard on women who
have been happily married, up till
recently. For the husbands are just
as busy looking as the ankles are
busy showing. Men are continually
chasing around with the wives of
other men, and their own wives will
find consolation promptly. Every
body's doing it.
But it wasn't always like this,
can tell you. I am no octogenarian,
but l remember the time when hon
est friendliness and loyalty and sim
pIicity covered a multitude of bohe-
milan failings"
