STAGES ARE SHOWN.
STORY OF UNDERTAKING
IS TOLD INTERESTINGLY
Dr.. Frederick l. Monsen, Who Lee
tursd on Mexico Before Searehlight
Club, Appears Before Large Audience
at MarshaIItown cIub-Colored Slides
Features Of Talk.

! The second of the Monsen lectures
taxed the capacity of the Marshalltown
Club Thursday night The audience
included members of the club, their
wives and families. and members OF
the Searcnlight Club. AS was the case
in DR.. Monsen's lecture on Mexico the
night before. his description of the
Panama canal was illustrated elabor-
ately with a set OF splendid colored
slides of not only the canal itself bu.
also Of scenes in the canal zone.
/ The pictures of the canal itself did
not furnish the same opportunity to
add to them the variety of color effects
that the subjects shown in the scenic
slides made possible but they gave a
Very clear and comprehensive idea Of
the magnitude OF the undertaking in
! various stages as the work progressed
Gives History Of Canal.
| Dr. Monsen very briefly recited
some Of the more important historical
! events having to do with the canal
project from the time OF Columbus and
the other early Spanish explorers who
discovered the isthnlus while seeking
a short and all-water route to the IN
dies.
! From early in the sixteenth century
following the discovery of the Pacific
I by Balboa. repeated efforts were made
to find or open a waterway across the
! continent at different places in what are
now the Central American states.
Eventually these efforts lead to The
opening Of a land route for travel
across the isthmus. Many. many years
later, In 1855, the Panama Railroad
was opened and still the two French
! companies unsuccessfully attempted to
! dig the canal.
[ World Not Ready For Work.
These efforts failed. Mr.. Monsen said
because the world had not advanced to
! point where it was either able to
build the canal or ready for it, Disease
beat the French, and 1t was not known
until years later that it was the mos
quito that spread yellow fever. 1t was
not until wears after the French failed
that adequate machinery, such as the
huge steam shovels and dredges. that
made the undertaking possible, had
been invented.
Sanitation Of Zone.
The sanitation of the canal zone
required three years before it was
made perfectly safe for the army OF
workers to start digging The canal. But
bv that time the zone. which had been
a. pest hole, was transformed into a
health resort.

ing you what has been proved by hun
dreds of mothers.
j. L. Tickling, Macon, Ga, says:
MY child was very thin and delicate,
no appetite, nervous, and did not sleep
well. Doctors did not help her. Ninol
was recommended, and the change after

soundly all night, has splendid appe-

every mother knew what Vinol will do
for delicate children"
What Vinol did for this little girl it
viii do for every weak and ailing child,
because sickly children need the
strengthening cod liver elements and
the tonic iron that Vinol ntains-that
is why vinol builds them up quickly
and gives them fine, healthy color.

Are You Interested in Your childern's
Play?

In the March Woman's Home Com.
panion, Mary Heaton Worse, writing an
article on the Importance of play, shows
how in the Montessori method of eduea-
ton play is most important feature
Doctor Montessori, the originator OF
this method, is the Italian educational
genius who recently visited America
and expounded her theories, the princi-
pal point of which is that little children
must be allowed opportunities to de-
velop themselves freely and naturally,
unhampered hy too strict limitations as
to lines of thought and activity. On the
Importance of play, Mrs. Worse says in
part:
Il think that most mothers would plead
guilty of regarding play lightly com
pared with the performance OF school
tasks or the various duties which are
supposed to be useful in development of
child's character in the home.
Most OF us devise what we call 'du-
ties for a growing boy or girl to accom-
plish with the result. ordinarily, of
creating friction between our children
aud ourselves, since these duties as a
rule are imposed arbitrarily, and no
sense of responsibility has been developed
in the child from the beginning.
81 do not mean to imply that we
should cease our interest in our chill
dren's progress in school, But ] do
mean to point out that the one thing
which we do not inquire into is our chill
dren's progress in play. Many of us are
very careful indeed as to which children
our children play with We like them
to play. especially when they are little
where we can do what we call, have an
eve on them But we do not give them
for play, which not only
doctor Montessori recommends, but
which the educators down the ages have
realized as of the highest importance.
