Inhabitants Of Panama Strip Certainly
Cannot Reproach Nature With
Nissardiiness

For nine months of the year 1t
rains some on the lsthmus of Panama.
The precipitation of one month not
long ago was SO inches. This broke
even the Panama rainy season record
and nothing like It has occurred since
but with something like an average of
twelve feet of rainfall in nine months
the isthmus can keep up a showing
of dampness without being worried
about an ability to live up to soaking
records.
Gatun lake, the artificial body of
water created by Lieut.. Col. William
l.. Sibert by the hard process Of dam
ming the unruly Chagres river. is
now, at the close OF the rainy sea
son, at the high level which the army
officer predicted 1t would reach. The
Chagres pouring into the valley made
the lake. but the rains made the Cha
gres. For the next three months the
river will be little more than trick
ling rill, but water enough has been
stored to keep the lake level as 1t Is
until the rains descend and the floods
come once more as they have descen-
ded and come uninterruptedly ever
since the day of Balboa, and since
how long before nobody knows. The
United States government has built a
lock canal across the Isthmus of Pan
anna. A sea level waterway would
have been imperative If the skies
above the isthmus were not in the
habit of weeping day in and day out
for nine-twelfths of the year. Some
of the Panamans through the years
probably looked upon the drenchings
as curse, but commerce must look
upon them as a blessing. Every mile
of the way through the canal, except
for the comparatively short distanc-

Evolution OF
Good Roads

Fort Duquesne only after cutting
shorter way from Carlisle through
Bedford and across the Allegheny
mountains.
One OF the greatest factors in the
national campaign for better roads
is the voluntary work being done es-
pecially in the far west, Robert Bruse
writes in Leslies's. or course the
greatest single example of this is the
prospective Lincoln highway from
New York to San Francisco, which
the automobile and allied industries
have undertaken to build and toward
which over five million dollars have
already been subscribed. In the ter
ritory west of the Mississippi river
which has no such sources of revenue
to draw upon as the eastern states,
this voluntary effort shows Itself In
an increasing number of good roads
days, when thousands of able bodied
men, frequently headed by the COVER
nors OF states, turn out and contrib.
ute the labor that is as necessary
as cash Sometimes 1t accomplishes
more because voluntary work is uni
formly enthusiastic and contagious.
A fine example of this voluntary
effort is the building of a $4,000 sea
level causeway along the Pacific coast
between Ventura and Santa Barbara,
California, shortening the Los Ange-
les San Francisco route about eight
miles and saving many steep. danger
Gus turns over the mountains through
the Casitas passes. The funds for
this work we're raised principally thru
the Automobile club of southern Cali
fornia and the causeway was con
structed for use by motorists pending
the completion of a permanent sea
level route by the state.

One Of the Greatest Factors In Cam
paisn is Voluntary Work Being
Done, Especially In the
West

In the early days of our country
emigration and settlement usually
followed the waterways, particularly
the Merrimac, Connecticut, Hudson,
Mohawk, Delaware, Susquehanna, 70
tomac and James-always at a great
loss of time and doubling or even
trebling of distance. As soon, how
ever, as permantnt roads began to be
made distances were greatly shorten
ed and the time required for Jour-
ney, and especially for a military op-
GRAFTON was wonderfully lessehed.
General Braddock's expedition against
Fort Duquesne failed more from the
exhausting necessity Of cutting It's
way through the primeval wilderness
from Fort Cumberland to Turtle
creek and the difficulty Of bringing up
an adequate support than from at
tacks upon 1t by the French forces
and their Indian allies. And when
after Braddock's tragic death in the
course of his disastrous retreat, the
command devolved upon George Wash
ington, that young Virginian ofiicer
was forced by the slow progress made
over the rough newly cut roads to
pitch camp at Fort Necessity, in
southwestern Pennsylvania, the scene
of his first and only surrender.
1t was undoubtedly this bitter ex'
perience that gave Washington an
insight into the need of the new coun'
try for improved roads subject
which he discussed with vigor soon
afterward in correspondence with Gen
eral Forbes, who succeeded in taking

good work in assisting in this move

ROADS ARE MADE TOO WIDE?
Western Road~ays Are From Fifty to
Sixty Feet In Width. Much OF
Space Grown to
Weeds


It is argued that as a general thing
and particularly in the west, the roads
Of the United States are too wide.
The west and Germany are compared
in this respect. 1t is pointed out that
while Germany, where the trafic is
enormous. the highways are but twen-
ty and 81 feet, in the west, where
traffic is comparatively light and land
worth 500 an acre, the roadways are
from fifty to sixty feet in width, three
fourths of which grows up in weeds
and grass.
1t can hardly be said, however, that
the roads are too wide in the eastern
states. Mountain travellers, especial
ly, will smile at the idea of wide roads
in readiness OF the subject, having
many times and oft met face to face
other travellers far from the wide
place, with the result that their We
hicles had to be taken apart and car
ried by peacemeal or stood up at 4
dizzy angle against the cliff while
the other Rugged the perilous edge of
