CANAL SLIDE IS

ENGINEERS SAY
CucaTaCha and CuIebrd Slips
Have Been Conquered by U.
S. Experts, Report.
Associated Press.

Panama, May Rock and dirt
are still moving down the Cucaracha
Slide i7.o the Culebra Cut. but the
engineers who have been fighting the
treacherous slides In this vicinity are
at last saining upon nature. Fears
that the opening of the canal. set
I for January, 1915, would have to be
postponed indefinitely. have been
growing less each day. for the dredg-
/ es and steamshovels have been TAX
ing out the dirt and rock much fast
er than it slid into the canal.
The Culebra Slide. just to the
south of the Curacha trouble, is en-
tirely at rest, and it is hoped 1t will
remain so, but the canal engineers
will watch this treacherous hillside
with some anxiety as the rainy sea-
son approaches. Breaks already are
showing far back from the canal
prism and these may indicate a
movement which might any day pre-
cipitate tons of crushed rock and
dirt into the canal for the tireless
dredges and steamshoyels to remove
The coming wet season will be likely
to loosen anything ready to slide.
Dreding and hyraulic operations In
the cut continue day and night. Back
of Gold Hill the hydraulic pumps
are washing away vast quantities of
loose soil greatly relieving the pres
sure which has forced so much of the
dirt into the canal prism. At the
toe of the slide the dredges have
been busily engaged in removing the
dirt out of the channel itself while
hydraulic operations are tearing at
the very heart of the hill.
Within a short time two new large
dipper dredges will be engaged.
These are the largest yet built of this
type One already has been received
on the isthmus and is almost ready
for operation. At the same time the
dredge "Corozal' will begin deepen
ing the channel which now averages
about 20 feet, to the required 45
feet.
This deepening of the channel
the engineers believe, will be tedi-
Gus operation for the weight on the
hillsides at Gold. Culebra and Con-
tractors hills is constantly forcing
the bottom of the canal upward. 1t
is anticipated that this will continue
until the weight of the hillsides has
been sufficiently lessened.
According to figures Just compiled
there have been removed from the
canal prism between Gamboa and
Pedro Miguel. which includes the en-
tire Culebra Cut area, total of 2T,-

BARNARD
IS TOO OLD AT 80
Interesting Report Made on
Women Of English Rum
Houses and Gin Mills.
Associated Press.

London. May 2.-"Too old at thir-
ty' is the unhappy lot OF the British
barmaid described In a report by
Mrs. Bernard Drake OF an inquiry
made by the Womens Industrial
Council
Barmalds are a British Institution.
Very few men are found behind bars
in the saloons throughout the United
Kingdom, except proprietors. There
are $4,000 barmaids in England
alone. Frequent orusades have been
started with the purpose OF eliminat-
ing women. and particularly girls.
from this vocation, but nothing last
ing has been accomplished. One rea-
son is that the saloon is the working
mans club, and he prefers those
places where he can gossip with the
girls. On the whole the influence
of barmaids is to raise the atmos-
phere ofAaloons. but the influence of
the saloons upon the women is con-
sidered bad.
The barmaid soon grows old, +"
says the report. Sometimes she is
old at 25; she is generally too old at
thirty" Her chances OF marriage
are small unless she marries the bar
man or the manager. and almost the
only recourse left to her is the
streets. The number of women on
the London streets who have once
been barmaids Is out OF all proper
tion to the total members in the
trade. q
Mrs. Drake writes sympathetically
OF the women behind the bars. She
says.
THE barmaid is cheaper than the
barman. She is more industrious,
more sober, more amendable to the
wishes of her employer, less rebell-
ious against the hard conditions OF
public-house life.
There are woman, women of fine
character. who earn in the bar de-
cent and respectable living. and are
not unhappy. There is even wom-
an of robust health and tempera-
ment. who finds in the public house a
certain vocation. The bar is to 9TH
er women immediate ruin.
But all these are exceptions. The
barmaid who is of the majority. al
though she loses nothing of self
respect. yet continues at her post
only in weariness and loathing, and
with a great fear In her heart of
that which the future is to bring"
Wages for harmaids are no more
than domestic servants command in
the United States, and the average
working day is fourteen hours. In
houses patronized by workingmen
the average pay is $3.50 to SO a
week; in hotels 1t may rise to $3.50,
and for a head barmaid to $3.50 or
even s5. Board and lodging are al
ways furnished, but the girls are ex-
pected to dress well. 'h

Washington. Aug. 24.-Plans for

than 81 per cent OF the capital stock
by an appropriation. Ships would be
bought by the sale of $40. 900. 900 Pan
anna canal bonds.
President Wilson reiterated his de-
termination to urge the ship purchase
plan. and said he expected 1t to be In

Reports that he had considered the
advisabili Of abandoning the pro-
ject. he said. were without founda-

shown no intention Of desire to act

necessary for the government to take
the initiative.
The president believes ne govern

possibility the bill would provide for
sale OF the governments stock In the
company at any time the shipping
hoard deemed that advisable.
