Conversation

prides itself upon rapid climbs
and sudden descents. But even
in the tropics, where the tempera-
ture does not vary over ten de-
grees in the entire twelve months,
people find the weather a time
killing topic.
In our ever-varying aAd never
duplicated seasons l have heard
sensible human beings wax al
most violent, disputing whether
last year or the year before was
not warmer or colder than this
year; or whether such unseason-
able weather had ever before been
known; or trying to prove that
the first SHOWS fell earlier or later
some other year than this.
Surely all this is Improbable
conversation.
IL IS not instructive interesting
or amusing.
1t does not develop the reason
ing powers or give food to the
mind.
And it entertains no one.
Gossip is not only Improbable.
but it is malignant substance,
dangerous to the mind.
II our callers introduce gossip.
like a poison needle, we can
readily change the subject ana
refuse the incubation.
And we can go alone after the
caller departs and use mental
antidote in the way Of anirma-
lions Of love and good VIII and
peace TO all created things; and
more light for the gossiper.
To read what is painful. vicious
or terrible, unless we are prepared
to go forth and endeavor 10 re-
lieve the conditions Of which We
read, is Improbable. The same
time devoted to music or a Ian
suage would soon bring us an ac-
complishment.

COCKTAILS BECOMES
Canal GOVERNOR
CIVIL GOVERNMENT INSTITUTED
IN CANAL ZONE BY BIG
DITCH TODAY.
(By Associated Press.)

Panama. April 1.-The Panama
Canal Zone began business today un-
der a permanent form of government.
The Isthmian Canal Commission,
which has governed the zone during
the construction of the waterway, was
dissolved. and civil administration,
semtmilitary in character was estab.
lished.
Colonel George w. Goethals, by ap-
pointment Of the President Of the
United States, became its first COVER
nor. His inauguration was remark
able. There were no ceremonies, no
speeches. no display.
In his office on the top of Culebra
Hill, overlooking the now famous cut
OF that name, Col. Goethals, chairman
and chief engineer of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, simply began his
days work under a new title,-Gover-
nor and Chief of the Department of
Operation and Maintenance"
In the big cut below, while the
Colonel figuratively transferred his
power from one hand to another, the
steam dredges were tearing away at
the foot Of Curcaracha slide, and To-
comotives were busy hauling away
more Of the daily spoil. Work pro-
crossed as usual along the whole
route of the canal. There were no
extra flags flying. no outward show
of any kind that the government of
the Zone was undergoing any changes.
These were changes in name merely,
SO far as most of the canal workers

The scene in the House chamber
when Speaker Clark yielded the gavel
to Representative Underwood, the ma.
jority leader, to defend his course in
the great controversy, probably was
unrivalled in the history of American
legislation. Never before within the

the galleries been SO packed with in

Despite the fact that most of the va
ter lanes across the Atlantic have oeen
cleared and are now practically safe
from hostile battleships, there is a
marked decrease in the number Of pas
sengers returning to Europe for the win
ter. Here in Barre middle September
usually sees sizeable exodus of Italians
leaving for the sunny peninsula. In years
past the winter migrations have been
well under way by this time, but thus
far local steamship agencies report fn
unprecedented paucity of calls for tick
cts. Many people take time by the fore
lock and engage their passages a month
or six weeks ahead of time. There has
been no exception to this rule this year,
but in large majority OF instances the
agencies have been asked to cancel res
ervations on the trans Atlantic liners.
1t is more than probable that'the exodus
this fall will be smaller by far than in
former years.

U. S. ALMOST INDEPENDENT.
As Far as Mineral Resources Are Con-
cerned, Says Geological Survey.

Probably no other nation IN the world
so nearly approaches absolute independ-
ence in respect to mineral resources as
the United States.
A glance at the statistics OF mineral
imports affords a means of comprehend
ing in broad way how great and COM
pick is the task of attaining national in
dependence in the mining. metallurglcal,
and chemical industries. Last year the
imports of mineral products, both crude
and manufactured, exceeded $270,OO0,00O.
OF this total probably S200,000,000 repre-
sents raw materials and crude metals,
the value of these imports being about
s per cent. of that Of the domestic out
Put. In this list of imports the larger
items named in the order of value are
manufactured copper, precious stones,
nitrate of soda. copper ore and matte,
nickel, tin, iron ore, pig iron and steel.
petroleum products, manganese ores and
allows. platinum, aluminium, pyrite,
graphite, stone, potash. and msgnesite.
This country has an abundant supply Of
most of these mineral products that are
now imported in large amounts and as to
them it can be independent of foreign
countries. The only essentiol minerals

States has no known supply at all com.
