Panama Canal
Opens August IS

Opening of the Panama Canal
to the worlds commerce on Au-
gust 18th next was announced
Thursday by Secretary Garrison.
Probably the first vessel to pass
through the great waterway will
be the Cristobal, a war depart
ment steamer now in Colon.
There will be no formalities in
connection with the epoch-mak-
ing event, all ceremonies being
left for the official opening
when the international fleet
passes through the canal in
March, 1915. Mr.. Garrison's
announcement follows:
"The Panama Canal will be
open for commerce to vessels
not needing more than thirty
feet of water on and after Au-
gust Is, 1915.
"The official opening Of the
canal as heretofore announced,
will be in the month of March,
1915. An appropriate announce
ment will be made when a
greater depth of water than
thirty feet has been secured.
ION August Is Colonel Geet'
nails will inaugurate the com
mercial servic by sending {
government boat through the
canal. There will be no cere
monies incident to the occasion.

Bomb, Hurled In
House, Fails To Explode

Monroe, La, July rs. A &C.
cident to fuse probably prevent
ed serious damage and possibly
life loss last night at the home
of Walter Cheek, superinten-
dent Of the Benoit Lumber Com
pany, at Cheniere, eight miles
from here.
Some one constructed a crude
bomb by filling a crayon box
with powder and attaching a
fuse to II. The explosive was
thrown through a window but it
struckthes sash and the fuse was
broken off.
The bomb was thrown into a
room WHeTe TWO young sons OF
Mr.. Cheeks were sleeping. A
Waterman at the lumber mill
near by saw a man running
from the house during the night
and fred at him. Two shots
were returned but no one ap-
parently was hit.
1t is believed the attempt on
the lives Of the Cheek family
might have grown out of testi.
mony recently given at a trial
here.

Roosevelt And Louisiana

Outside of one or two Eastern
States Colonel Roosevelt is re-
ported to be more interested in
the political situation in Louisi'

and the whole force of the Pro.
gressive party will be exert

State. There is, of course, a

as a proper place in which to
make a fight in the South. Such
states as Mississippi and South
Carolina are as much in need Of
another party as Louisiana, but
this State, rather a part Of it,
is nursing a crouch because OF
the repeal by a Democratic Con-
gress of the tariff duty on the
sugar. A number of prominent
men who have claimed to be
Democrats have joined the Pro
gressive party and the effort to
establish a second party in a
Southern State is to be tried on
a more ambitious scale than al

No thanks to the man who
saws that this country is going
to the dogs, says an exchange.
It may be taken for granted
that he does nothing to it from
going that way, and most likely
his own conduct would, if it
were possible, give it a shove ir
that direction. But after ALL,
the man is wrong for this coun-
try is going the other way and

A law compelling all automo-
bile owners to light their lamps
when running their cars at
night would be a good one to
pass and enforced. There are a
number of them that run their
cars after night without lighting
their lights. This is dangerous
and should receive the attention
of the proper authorities.

The killing Of buzzards is
strongly advocated by all au-

the spread of disease of Charlton
in any section. These birds will
carry not only tetanus but many
other diseases among cattle and

Traffic Bridge in
Danger e Ealing;
CenieI Pier Weak
Travel Over Bridge Is Pro-
hibited

The work in repairing the GEN.
ter pier of the traffic bridge,
which has been in a dangerous
condition for some time was
commenced last Friday. The
construction crew was at work
driving piles and managed to
get one down when it was dis
covered by the foreman that the
foundation under this pier was
giving way and had let the mid
die section lean over about eight
inches. A cable was secured
and a guy stretched from the
pier to a tree which saved the
bridge from falling, although it
was gradually going down, but
was braced by this one guy and
pulled back about two inches.
This caused all to draw
a breath Of relief. The guy
proved sufficient support and
checked the bridge from going
over until several hundred feet
more of cable could reach here,
which was Immediately ordered,
arriving Saturday. Work in put
ting two more of these heavy
guyes on was completed Tuesday,
and it is now believed that no
fear should be entertained as
to the bridge collapsing.
Work was started Wednesday
in building a foundation up to
the middle section, which rests
on this center pier, and relieve
lit of this weight, until all
necessary repairs can be made.
It is thought that it will take be-
tween three and four months to
complete this work and to put
'ffsvers.thins insgobd ctmshtion, s.
it will be safe for travel. The
work will be rushed as to prevent
: the rise in the river from de.
; laying the work.
Traffic has been prohibited
over the bridge since Friday,
only in walking across. No We.
, hicles whatever will be allowed
to cross the bridge for severa
, months to come, as the least jan
from anything heavy would per.
} haps cause the pier to give way
| and the bridge to fall in. If any

There are so many more guests than
there are hostesses that there must, of
necessity. be more discourtesies per-
petrated by the entertained than by
the entertainers. And they do perpe-
trate them.
First of all. one Of the most COM
mon errors of the careless guest In
posse is committed before he goes to
the house of his would-be hostess. 1t
consists of his frequent neglect in re-
plying to an invitation. Those who
are punctilious in such matters little
know how many persons are regard
less of the notes inviting them to
various functions.
ooh. another invitation!' signs the
much-sought-after-m tossing it
upon his desk. 'I'u answer it after
a whfle.'
There it lies, forgotten. Surely the
way to social perdition might be paved
with unanswered invitations.
Men are not the only sinners in this
respect. The busy woman, unless she
employs social secretary, sometimes
forgets her acceptance or regret.
The invitation once accepted there
are such well-known rules as to what
one should do that the ''wayfaring
man though a fool could scarcely go
astray sufficiently to ignore them. 1t
is needless to call attention to the
fact that one should be punctual in
arriving at a dinner or luncheon at the
hour named. 1 say it is needless--and
yet, is It?
Have we not all waited in the draw
ing-room before a dinner while our
hostess tried bravely to conceal her
annoyance at the tardiness of some
guest-knowing all the while that the
dinner was being done to death" or
that the raw oysers were getting warm
and the souffle cold and sodden2 So,
perhaps, after ALL 1t is not superfluous
to remind the reader that guests are
sometimes late.

But when the guest has come at
the proper time and is safely en-
sconced in the drawing-room. her
duties have only begun. For, deny 1t
as we may, the guest, as well as the
hostess, has her duties. One of these
is to be as agreeable as possible to
anyone whom she chances to meet.
Even if she does not know the per-
son touching elbows with her she is
quite right in speaking to her and In
chatting of the "nothings that make
up life"
The hostess, unable perhaps to le< y

lighter and herself less burdened by a

The veriest tyro in social life knows
that one should greet ones hostess as
soon as one enters her drawing-ro
Few persons neglect to do this As
much cannot be said about them when
they take their departure.
May it not be that in the rush and
absorption of everyday life we are
losing some of the sweet, oid-time
courtesy which was after all, very
lovely?
