GoethaE Returns to Panama to
Clear Away Slides From Canal

Panama-Major General George w.
Goethals has withdrawn his resigna-
tion of governor of the Panama canal
zone.
This fact was announced by General
Goethals on his arrival on board the
steamship Cristobal from New York
after a vacation spent in the United
States. His action was taken, he said,
in view of the recent slides in the
Gaillard cut, which have closed traffic
through the canal.
General Goethals said he would re-
main in Panama indefinitely until such
time as the condition of the canal
would permit his departure. Further
than to make this announcement and
his announcement that he had cabled
Secretary of War Garrison withdraw
ing his resignation, which was to have
become effective November 1, General
Goethals had nothing to say concern
ing the canal.
He did not seem worried over the
situation, but eager to enter on ths
work of combating the slide. He
will discuss the situation with Lien
tenant Colonel Chester Harding, engi
neer of maintenance, and afterwart
make personal study of the slides.

Through Medium Of Nervous System
Marvellous Changes, Physical and

The power of music to influence the
health Of the listener has been recog-

historical in the attempts Of David to
drive out Saul's distemper.. We be-

DOES CAT THINK WITH FEET7
Ability Always to Land on Them
Seems to Point to Natural
Conclusions.

There is nothing especially striking
about the feet of cat except its abil-
ity always to land on them Hold a
young cat by its feet short distance
from the ground for few seconds and
then let go. The cats back. being
heavier than it's feet, should strike the
ground first. But it doesn't. Just as
the cat is being let go it gives quick
upward thrust with its chest and as
its feet are freed they swing under
it so it lands ON them.
In the case of the young cat that
has never experienced this before. II

Immediately. In fact, it is really be-

then is that this faculty in the cat is
located in it's feet. 1t is inherent in

mature. but it is a different thing that
a cat does it without anybody ever

1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew
Mrs. Gait into the White House. They

by her that they sought her out more
and more frequently and the Friendship
between them ripened into an affection
ate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent q month this sum
mer at Cornish as the house guest o.
the Presidents eldest daughter. Il
was through this intimacy Of hi
daughter and cousin that the Presiden
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Gait. One Of the most interest
| ing facts about the engagement, in
deed, as told by friends, is that thu
Presidents daughters should hav'
chosen Mrs. Gait for their admiration
and friendship before their father did
| Mrs. Gait is the widow of a widel,
known business man of Washington
who died about eight years ago, leav
ing jewelry business that still bear
his name. She has lived in Washing
ton since her marriage. in 1896. Sh
is about 38 years old and was Mis-
Edith Boiling, born in Wytheville
Va, where her girlhood was spent an
where her father, William h. Boiling
was a prominent lawyer.
For many weeks Mrs. Gait and he
relatives have been frequent Dime
guests at the White House. Often sh
has accompanied the President o
motor rides. She is not quite as ia
as Mr.. Wilson. has dark hair and dar
eyes and always is in stylish attire
Her tastes are said to be strikingl
similar to those Of the President, wit
deep interest in literature and chal
