formances in playground trials this

covering a certain distance in the stand

their broad jumping, must chin them
selves six times and must run the sixty
yards in eight seconds. BY limiting the

planned with the consideration in mind
that small boys and girls must not be

spaced accordingly.

CANAL CELEBRATES

DWeIIers in Panama Contrast

PANAMA, Ma, 4.-This is the ninth

: On May 4, 1904, a lieutenant of the
Engineer Corps, United States army,
kalked down the then dirty main street
Of Panama to the administration build
ing of the French Canal Company. and
There received the keys of the building,
IN token that the title of the French
concern had passed into the hands of
The United States.

Brain for Culebra. and there, after

,gineer in charge to keep on working
with his go men and their money would
thereafter be paid by Uncle Sam.
improvements Of Nine Years.
The story of what has happened in
morning has never been well told, be-
cause so much work has been crowded
into the brief years.
Two cities have been redeemed from
filth and pestilence; a stretch of land
fifty miles long has been made habita-
BILE; yellow fever has been banished from
one of its greatest strongholds, and to-
day q community of s.eo0 Americans,
500 Europeans, and 40.0ao West Indian
negroes are living in more hySienic and
healthful surroundings than most of
them knew at home.
An organization that sends 40 90 men
TO work every morning has been per-
fected and a cooperative, self-sustain-
ing system has been made SO effective
that the canal workers buy foods trans
ported 1000 miles from the United
States cheaper than they fan be
bought in New York or Chicago.
Schools And Churches Built.

Destructive Fire Burns
Barn Near StraSburg.

Fire Sunday night destroyed the
large barn of Frank K. Stickley, one
mile south of Strasbug, including a
calf, five shoats, 900 bushels of wheat,
Wagons. pleasure vehicles, farm i'm
plements and harness. The loss is
estimated at %, 500, with insurance OF
only u 300 In the Shenandoah Home

IRE 10 q mystery.
Mr.. Stickley's dogs apparently
gave the first alarm, and he invssti.
gated. but could find nothing amiss.
AT nearly 10 O'Clock member of the
family saw the barn xblaze. When
the proprietor reached the building
the entire interior was q mass of
flames. The single roof aided the fire
in making rapid Roadway. Mr.
Stickley had just bought forty head
OF hne beef cattle to feed, and to these
ne gave first attention and succeeded
in getting them all out save one calf.
Among the contents OF the barn we're
twenty squares of tin roofing, with
which he had intended to cover the
dwelling house. This was badly
damaged. Two large filled silos, ad-
joining the barn, were partially burn
ed, but some of the contents can be
saved. Most of the people OF the
town rushed to the scene, and helped
to keep the flames from reaching the
other buildings, all of which have
single roofs.
This is the second barn burned on
the anne site, the first having been
destroyed by Sheridan during his
raid in the Valley. The building
was 40x90 feet. Mr.. Stickley has de-
cided to rebuild at once.
