Men resent interference with their re-

they lose interest if left to them

After the Knownothing movement
of forty years ago the Catholic
church was stronger than it was be-

true of the A. P A. movement of |

What a terrible thing it is to poison
the minds of little children with
hatred for other children!
And how heartlessly cruel to cast
suspicion on the virtue of good wo-

really care little about the politics
of it. If politicians and oficeholders
were the only pawns in the game, and
the only sacrifices. it would make no
difference to me and little, if any, to
government, if public servants of one
faith were supplanted by public serv--
ants of another faith.
No Catholic should vote for a man
for no other reason than that they
both embrace the same faith, and
any Catholic who tried to help him

engaged in as unworthy business as
the Protestant who tried to keep him

CPRlNG Season Is an interesting
y one from the social standpoint;
not alone are there many we'd
dings but also many important social
functions and, when such conditions
exist, new costumes are TO be met at
every turn. An interesting feature
and a novel one is to a great extent the
outgrowth Of the tunic and over
blouse and some new and attractive
toilettes are shown that can be con-
verted from one use to another az a
touch and so completely transformed
that with a single foundation two or
more gowns are assured.
There is a great tendency toward
using a colored tunic over lace gown
or one Of thin white material and. as
a matter Of course, il the tunic il
sometimes green and sometimes cerise.
il takes more than a second glance
70 discover that the lace beneath is
the same in both instances. An
extremely handsome gown that bears
the name Of a well known designer
was evidently created with this
thought in mind. THERE'S foundation
Of softest charmeuse satin in a dainty
shade that is just little deeper than
cream and over this is arranged lace
founces for the skirt and an entirs
lace bodice. Accompanying the gown
are two tunics, one Of taffeta just
little deeper than the foundation
lining and one Of pale green. With
the green tunic is a girdle Of the same
but with the tunic Of matching color is
one Of brilliant cerise. The gown can
be worn with either tunic or without
a tunic and. since it gives a quite diff
ferent effect under each treatment.
three really handsome costumes are
achieved
Evening journal., 1914-05-25

Following the same idea, there has
recently been put out a costume
adapted to street wear that becomes
a coat suit or a gown with tunic by
adjusting a few clasps and buttons.
When it is an indoor gown. It consists
Of skirt and a faring tunic with sus-
penderlike portions that pass over a
lace blouse. When it is a street cos
tune, the tunic Is turned up and so
buttoned or clasped into place that It
becomes iaunty little coat with
kimono sleeves. Commonly, a cos
tune that aims TO I'LL more than one
purpose fails Of both but this one Is
attractive worn in both ways and
unquestionably has an advantage Of
It's own. To be able to travel in cor
rect costume yet by simply unfasten-
ing a few clasps TO become suitably
garbed for the hotel dinner is some-
thing Of a comfort as well as an
achievement and. incidentally. does
away with the necessity for an extra
gown.
The very general favor shown for
every sort Of supenderlike trimming
has been commented upon in previous
letters but there seem to be con-
stantly new developments Of the
idea. Among the weddings Of the
early week was a notable one. tbs
bridesmaids for which wore gowns
Of soft creamy lace houncing with
tunics and suspenderlike trimmings
Of apple green taffeta, and the sug-
gestion is a good one for all fiouncings
and bordered materials. The skirts
were made Of three successive founces.

great many possibilities. II the sus-

Organdie has come into rs own
again and some very dainty afternoon
and evening gowns for the younger
contingent are made Of the material
while It is being quite extensively
employed for the making Of bIouses
and separate waists. We all know
that it is daintiness itself and that It
has a peculiar charm that nothing
else possesses. The fact that It Is
finding ready welcome goes far to
attest its intrinsic worth. One OF
the latest fancies is foT touch Of black

so did the terrible Morgan, who passed this
way on his merciless bucaneering expedition
in the forgotten days. Today there is no
Cruces on the map. It has had to efface
itself, along with many villages of lesser an
tiquity, in order that the canal Of Goethals
might have reservoir sufficient to guard
against any possible shortage of water if an
unprecedented dry season should intervene:
In crossing this great lake, remember, you
are passing over the great isthmian bridge.
You are steaming peacefully along in
ship, it is true; but you are elghty-flve feet
in the air, that being the height to which you
were lifted by the three Gatun Locks, and at
this elevation you will remain until you
reach the other end of the bridge proper and
are lowered again by the big locks of Pedro
Miguel and Mirafores.
AT the thirtieth milestone (measuring
from the Atlantic entrance to the canaD
YOU come to the famous Culebra Cut, the
part of the waterway that fulfils your idea
of big ditch. You 60 more slowly now;
for the water displaced by your ship makes
a commotion on each side, and reckless navi-
cation might precipitate another slide like
that at Cucaracha, which has caused more
than one canal engineer to pass sleepless
nights. The towering banks of Culebra Cut
give pleasing variety to the landscape. and
the effect is remotely like that experienced
when you pass up the Saguenay River from
the ST. Lawrence, with majestic Capes
Trinity and Eternity overshadowing you.
This lasts for ten miles, and then you are
at the gate of Pedro Miguel Lock. You
are still eighty-five feet in the air, and it is
up to the canal people to get you down again
without bump. All the work that the
Gatun Locks did must now be undone, by
reverse process. The electric mule lows your
ship into the lock chamber, which is already
flooded up to the eighty-fve-foot level then
the switchman does something with lever,
and the bottom drops out from beneath you,
for the water rushes out instead Of in. As
the surface Of the water falls, the ship falls
with it for thirty feet; then the gate in front
is opened, and you pass out into another
lake.
This is Mirafores Lake, and it is also arti-
fcial having been formed by combining the
waters of the Rio Grande 1t is less than
two miles in extent, and the towering locks
of Miraf1ores are at the farther side. Here
at Mirahores is the elevator that is to put
you back into salt water again; but it is
fifty-fve feet down to the Pacific The de-
scent must be made in two instruments; so
the process begun at Pedro Miguel is carried
out twice at Mirafores.

ROMANCE OF PANAMA
Continued from page 4

of your boat is pushed slowly into the brine
of the broad Pacific approach, which is eight
miles long. As you sail through it, you pass
the canal buildings, the terminal docks at
Balboa, and the distant city of Panama,
which is not within the Canal Zone. And
when you feel the deck beginning to rise and
fall with the swing of the open sea you realize
that you are at last in old Balboa's ocean,
having accomplished passage through the
greatest canal in all the world and done
what men have been dreaming about for at
least four hundred years.
PUT when you pass the Pacific mouth of
= the canal you have not yet hidden good
by to land. Perched out in the midst of the
rolling waves are three historic Islands,.
Flamenco, Perico, and Macs. You have
never heard of them; but they are well
known to the chief ordnance officer of the
United States army. These are the Pacific
sentinels of our costly waterway, and their
location and significance are doubtless no
secret in Toxic.
If race war with the Orient should ever
darken the western sky, these unheralded
isles would come into their own; for upon
them rests the responsibility of preventing
any hostile fleet from approaching near
enough to hurl shell against the outer gate
records show, there is only one gun on the
outermost of these islands Flamenco): but
ii is big sixteen-incher, and can begin to
plug holes in a battleship when it is fourteen
miles out on the western horizon. If a
kindly Fate should allow the dreadnoughts
to pass Flamenco unscathed, there is four
teen-incher on Perico that must be reckoned
with. And after the steel-clad hulks pass
this peril they will be confronted by more
guns on Macs, and another nest of those
terrible mortars.
The stage of discussion over the fortifica-
ton of the canal is now forever past. The
canal is fortified-no doubt about that.
And it is a pleasant fact that the son of
Goethals the builder is the engineer officer
of the United States army who was placed
in charge of the work of safeguarding the
achievement of his illustrious father. If
within generation it should ever be neces-
sary for grim artillerymen to ram into these
great guns the arnor-piercing projectiles
and stand silently for the signal to release
them on mission of death and destruction,
full in the face of an advancing foe, it
may be that young Goethals will have
the luck to be the man on the job in that
fateful hour.
