Exemption of coastwise shipping
using the Panama canal from the
payment of tolls would mean loss
for the first ten years of $40 900, 900
Professor Emory r. Johnson of the
University of Pennsylvania said last
Saturday at the Twenty-sixth annual
dinner of the University of Pennsyl-
vania men of New York. This loss
he said. would have to be borne by
the tax payers Of the United States.
Professor Johnson was appointed
special u. S. commissioner of Pana-
ma traffic tolls by President Taft and
served as such during 1911-13. Now,
the question is simplified down to the
point of whether the American people
are willing to subsidis. these Ameri-
can boats by making this liberal do
nation of 50. OOO, 900 per year.

But Papa makes the bed,
You should taste the stuff he cooks,
Especially the bread.

When mama entertains.

The slouchy way we do,
A rotten job 20 scrub the floor,
We make the clothes to blue
She says that Papa's hard to teach,
And half his work forgets,
When she goes out to make . speech
With other Sufffagettes.
My poor old dad is almost in,
Hes failing fast in weight.
While Mama wears a double chin,
Which helps her to crate
There vas a time when dad held

But he's lost his grip somehow,
He doesn't have word to say
He's silent partner now.

will be valuable 10 both sides" The
selection of engineers for The gigan-
tic task will be the next step forward.
The name of Colonel Cocktails. the
builder of the Panama canal, natur-
ally comes uppermost in this connec-
ton. II is not likely. however. that
he will be through with the Panama
canal in time for the present under
taking, which will be started with
the least possible delay.
Apropos of our initial experiment
In government railroad building il is
interesting TO note that Sir Richard
Mcbride, Premier of British Column

OF that Canadian province at believe
that the time has now come for the
building Of railroad through North

and Alaska, and / may say that the
authorities at Washington and Otta-
wa have both gone so far as TO in
dorse heartily some project of coop

The Premier predicted the completion
Of such project within five years.
This being the case, all-raiI trips to
Alaska may be in the itinerary Of

administration will seek action during
the present session of Congress on Sena-
tor Newland's plan for creation of a
commission to control federal activity in
waterway improvements will be the sub
ject of a conference tomorrow night at
the White House.
President Wilson has asked Senator

to the House yesterday, probably will
not be taken until after Christmas when
it is expected an amendment will be in
troduced providing for creation of the
proposed commission. Senator NeWlands
has let it be known that he will insist
upol action when the bill comes to the
Senate.
Under the plan a commission, composed
OF the Secretaries of Interior, Agricul-
ture, Commerce and War, two senator's
two representatives and two engineers,
named by the President, would investigate
questions relating to the development
Improvement regulation and control of
navigation as part of the interstate
and foreign commerce, and the related
questions of irrigation, forestry fisheries
swamp land reclamation, Qualification of
streams. regulation of flow, control of
Hoods, utilization of water powers, pre-
Vehtion of soil waste, cooperation of rail-
ways and waterways and promotions of
transfer facilities and sites.
The commission would be authorized to
coordinate the various government SER
vices now working on waterways i'm
provement, and to work with the various
local government authorities in it's inves-
tigation

Wiley laid out the contents of three boxes,
one for infants one for convalescents and
one for adults with view to providing
TO keep the weight of the boxes below
30 pounds, parcel post limit. the com
mission consulted with several prominent
wholesale grocers
For infants the box indicated is as fol-
lows; Twenty one-pound cans of con-
densed milk; two one-pound packages
each Of milk, sugar. barley flour and rice;
one three-pound sack each of rolled oats
and cornmeal a two-pound sack of salt
