back his arm and the round, smooth
stone few from his hand and crashed

HOME FROM TRIP
 70 PANAMA CANAL
chas. H. Brown Viewed the Big Ditch
 at First Hand

Charles H. Brown is again at his home on Warren street after 23 day trip to the Panama canal and back, with a divergence to Jamaica, Haiti, and the Bermudas, as very pleasant side issue.
 MT. Brown had seven days in the Isthums and saw the big ditch from end to end. He makes his observations at first hand and gets an intimate ec- quantance that others often miss. Fol- lowing this plan he got right down to bed rock and traversed the canal from ocean to ocean on foot where the big digging has been done. He was there the day after the big slide recently reported at Culebra cut. He visited the canal zone three years ago and marvelled now at the transforna tfon which the work done has accomplished.
 Mir. Brown had expected to make a trip to the Pacific coast, but aban- doned this because of poor stea mer connections. Instead hs embarked on a big excursion liner which came along to Colon with 800 tourists on board. This was the Victoria Louisa, which was homeward bound for New York and gave him the privilege of stops at Jamaica, Haiti and Nassau
