fare could not be duplicated in the
States for 75 cents, but prefer to
quote that statement rather than to
make it on my own authority. By
taking two meals day and making
the third of fruit, or a sandwich at
a Y. M. C. A. clubhouse, he would
cut his restaurant charges to S1S a
month: the whole three meals would
come to $27.SO, so, however voracious
his appetite, Bachelor Jacks charges
for food are light, and for shelter,
nothing. Clothing troubles him lit

several suits of white cotton duck will
cost him less than one wooden suit
such as he must have "up home" All
seasons are alike on the Zone, and
there is no need of various types of
htas, overcoats and underwear.
All in all, Bachelor Jack thinks he
has come in for good thing. More
over, he gets vacation of AZ days
on pay, a sick leave of 80 days on

Island of Taboga being a very pleas
ant resort, few fail to have slight
ailments requiring precisely 80 days
rest-and nine holidays, also with

Probably it was more a desire for
experience and adventure than any
idea of increased financial returns
that led young Jack Maxon to seek
job in engineering on the canal,
Graduated from the engineering de-
partment of state university, with
two years or so of active experience
in the field, Jack was a fair type of
young American-clean wholesome,
healthy, technically trained, ambitious
for his future but quite solictous
about the pleasures of the present,
as becomes a youth of %.
The job he obtained seemed at the
outset quite ideal. In the states he
could earn about SITS month. The
day he took his number on the Canal
Zone he began to draw $3.50 a month.
And that $3.50 was quite as good as
$500 at home. To begin with, he

ers needed for utility, comfort and
beauty, are made at the commissary
stores, where goods are sold practical
ly at cost. Moreover, there is no
protective tariff collected on import
ed goods, and it would take another
article to relate the rhapsodies OF
the Zone women over the prices at
which they can buy Doulton table

duets of all sorts. And finally, to
round out the privileges of married
life on the zone, medical service is
free and little 'Tommy's ills may be

So Jack looks from his bachelor
quarters over toward Married Row,

consideration of cost. Here the pa
