TRIPS TO PANAMA CANAL

Beginning next Sunday The Philadel
phia Inquirer invites its readers t
take a free trip to the Panama Cana
through the medim of the finest col
lection of many colored halftone pic
lures, made from photographs takel
especially for the purpose Many pho
tographs have been taken of the Cana
Zone, but for the first time it win b,
possible, through series of eight col
Ored pictures, to pass from the Allan
tic to the Pacific and see things exactly
! as they are. 1t will require a very
small stretch of the imagination tc
suppose that you are actually on a YES
sci passing through the Canal.
The plan involves issuing these eight
superb pictures, as special supplements
one each week free, commencing next
Sunday and continuing for eight Sun
days. The pictures represent the
Canal as it is now-ready for operation
save for the slide in Culebra Cut. AL
ready Gatun Lake has been filed
to its required height and the waters
are running over the spillway.
These views have just been taken by
an expert travel picture photographer
and show the greatest engineering tri-
umph of the twentieth century, just as
it is today.
The best color artists have brought
out-in each one, the exact colors of the
gorgeous tropical scenery and flowers,
while the photographs themselves re-
tain all of the exactness of detail of the
machinery and construction of the
mighty locks and rocky cuts.
The traveller on this picture tour
through the Panama Canal sees in his
first view from the deck of his steamer,
next Sunday, the approach to the Canal
at Margarite Point, northeast of Colon
on the Atlantic side, and before him
all the tropical wonders of tall palms
and dense jungles as he prepares to
enter the canal proper.
Other views take the traveller on his
tour each week through the great Ga
tum Locks, the mighty Gatun Dam,
and the turbulent Chagres River to the
Pacific. The entire series, when COM
plete, will form collection of views of
much eductional value, as well as of
picturesque interest. Start with the
first one and save them all.
Get the first view free with the next
Philadelphia Sunday Inquirer.
Inquirer readers will get these with
the regular Sunday edition free of
charge. 1t is necessary, however, to
'all attention to the fact that the sup
ply of these is limited to 300, 900 for
each week, SO that you must get in
'rder early to be sure of securing the
series. Look for the first picture next
Sunday.

THREE SKATERS DROWNED

While skating on the Brandywine
creek near the Rockland dam Friday
night, Elihu Brown, aged II years,
Kosmhr Beffier, aged IL years and JOS
eph Hand, aged IL years, all of Talley-
vile, were drowned when they went
through hole in the ice. Their bodies
were recovered about noon on Satur-
day by men who had organized party
and who had been graphing along the
the creek.
There were no witnesses to the acci-
dent, and as there are no houses in the
immediate vicinity, any cries the boys
may have uttered were not heard,
and the whole case is shrouded in con-
siderable mystery in so far as to the
exact manner in which the accident
occurred is concerned. M Ks on the
ice about the hole indicate that one of
the boys may have fl len into the
water and that the other Two lost their
lives while trying to pull him out.
Brown had been warned by his
father not to go skating Friday night,
He slipped away from the house after
supper, however, and calling at the
homes of his two friends the trio, went
to the creek. NOTHING as known of
the accident uutiI S. 1urday morning
when lamp was fou1tl On the ice by a
milkman and cap was seen floating in
the water In the meantime the
fathers of the boys, the mother of each
being dead, had missed them and start
ed search The cap gave the first
clue, so the ice wa broken and the
creek searched, wit the result that
the three bodies wei discovered about
noon.

SHIPPING IN CARLOAD Lors

Charles ]. Brand, Chief of the Office
of Markets, then took up the discussion.
Under the heading of "Co-operative
production and marketing" he said:
There seems to be no question that
efficiency in marketing and distribution
can be secured only by some method of
getting producers together SO. that
they can handle their products in other
than fractional lots. They must ship
in car lots, practically, to get the ad-
vantage of large markets, low railroad
rates aud similar advantages. There
is not a great deal of information
available at present for groups of pro-
ducers who wish to get together. For
that reason it is necessary to make a
study of cooperation as it exists in the
United States today, to collect consti-
tutions, bylaws, a knowledge of the
necessary machinery, and to prepare
bulletins which will show producers
how they can get together.
AT present Jney DO not know what
they may do and do not know what
others have done and are doing. There
is great deal of cooperation in this
country butit is scattering. The depart
ment therefore, must collect this in
formation and make it available. This
must include study Of the methods of
accounting and auditing used by or
ganizations which have made the great
est success The department will go
so far as to work out actual forms to
be used by these associations. In ad-
dition the department is assisting uni
versities and colleges in outlining
courses on cooperation and marketing.

Whatever may have been the orig.
inal character of the soil on which
Brussels was established, centuries
ago. its marshy nature has been COM
pletely altered. The precipitous hills
fanking the old town were early oc-
cupied as the community grew. and
the streets were carried up their sides
in the easiest possible curves. Thus
the Brussels of today Is a city chiefly
of narrow. crooked ways. with no
perspectives save in the newer por.
tons. Indeed, so accustomed have
the people become to the curving
streets that they insist upon following
the same plan In laying out new
streets. and SO some Of the fine mod
ern thoroughfares are bent hither and
thither. preserving the old-time sys-
tenn, which Is utterly destructive Of
ones sense Of location.
In old Brussels little space was

No horses under eight years may par
