THE PANAMA CANAL.

NJ. e. Sit is far too early as
vet to say just what changes the
Panama Canal will make in the
currents of commerce. 1t is fair
TO draw the inference that 1t will
take much from the transconti-
mental railways. and that it will
greatly decrease the business
that is at present done through
the Straits of Magellan. 1t is al
so we'll nigh certain that it will
have no good results for some of
the Mexican railways, as we'll as
for many of the South American
steamship lines; but we must
walt for some time before We can
tell just what changes the big
ditch will make.

would seem to be no end to the list
and new courses are constantly in
process of adoption. 1t would appear
that no one would fail to find some
congenial outlet for his material en-

citation. no matter what his sympathies
and tastes might be.

Benefits of Vacation Lodge.

Among the most interesting and, per-
haps, the best of the undertakings of
the club has been the vacation lodge
on the Virginia side of the Potomac, not
far from Cherrydale. This building is
open from June l to October l to busi-
ness girls, twenty-five being accommo-
dated at one time. Girls who cannot
afford to pay travelling expenses to dis
tant points can for hve-cent fare go
to the lodge and there spend festful
two weeks. Many even, go in and out TO
their city employment and get the bene-
hit of the cooler and more peaceful nights

space in which to pitch tents for girls
who wish to stay longer than the allotted
two weeks, and plans. therefore. are be-
ing made to purchase additional ground
back of the house. Two thousand dol
lars is the sum needed
During May and October the lodge is
open for house parties. 1t was built on
ground presented by Dr. Joseph Taber
Johnson in 1910. The cost of the build
ing, about $4,000. was raised by the In
door-Outdoor Club. The secretary of the
Vacation Lodge is Miss Marguerite o.

Mrs Albert Hale. No less than 32i girls

Emergency Suite Provided.

The association wishes that it could
occasionally help the down and outs"
so prominent in the public mind at
present. That is not at all d part of
its work. however: it was formed for
an entirely different purpose. NoS
does it include in it's membership any
of that class. Moreover. it has not the
facilities for such work. But among
the features of the new building. plans
have been made for an emergency
suite" where such persons can obtain
rest and comfort. no matter what their
circumstances. and through this suite
the Y ". G. a. hopes to cooperate
with all welfare organizations. private
or municipal.
OF course the most important chap
ter, as the name of the society tells it,
is that of religious work, of which DR..
Ada X. Thomas is chairman. Its aim
is to present the opportunity to all
women and girls to strengthen their
characters and deepen their Christian
life by a closer study of the Bible.
