NO OILERS IN CANAL ZONE
That Busy Community Is Said to be
the Most Orderly In the
World,

In all this wide, wide world the
most orderly community is that of the
Panama canal zone, writes Mary Gay
Humphreys in Scribners. Here is the
least crime; here are the fewest mis-.
demeanors, the least exercise of the
functions OF the courts, the most in
dustrious, the fewest idlers, absolutely
no poor, equally conspicuous the alb
sence Of the rich.
With its steam shovels working like
sentient beings, it's locomotives rush
ing about like screaming busybodies,
its cement buckets skimming over the
earth and riding the air to perform
their varied tasks, with the long dirt
trains weaving and turning on their
tortuous tracks like pythons, still the
most persistent impression is of beau
ty, orderliness and propriety.
The greatest public work the world
has ever seen is carried on not only
with unremitting diligence, enthusi-
asm and honesty, but with elegance,
high standard of living and a morale
to which the oldest and most opulent
cities have never attained.
These are the words of truth and
soberness. The problems of the en-
gineer are greater than man has ever
| before encountered, but in kind. The
cubic yards of dirt and cement tran
| scend experience, but only in bulk.
1t is the organization that is without
precedent in the whole history of pub
lie works-it is this that Is the eighth
wonder of the world.
In this organization there is no de-
tail so minute not to have received
attention; from the most puzzling
problems In engineering to the Ameri.
can youths love Of ice cream nothing
seems to have been left unconsidered.
This elaboration Of detail has doubt
less been gradual, but to the visitor
coming upon its completeness today
the impression is staggering and not
unmixed with envy.
