things beyond precedent are going
to happen in and for Florida in the
next five years, We shall let the pre-
diction stand and see how far we

it now seems that the real diff
culties of constructing the Panama
canal began after the canal itself
was completed. The continuous
slides in the great Culibra cut have
practically destroyed the big ditch
for the time being and it will be
months, perhaps year, before it is
again open to traffic. And even af
ter that there seems to be no guar
artee that further slides will not
again obstruct 1t al some time in the
future. Some of the papers have
been saying that this condition of
affairs vindicates the wisdom of the
late Senator Morgan. of Alabama,
who strongly opposed the Panama
route and insisted on the route fur
Their north through Nicaragua. But
we doubt if Senator Morgan antici-
pated the slides that have blocked
the canal or had any SUSPICION of an
obstruction Of that character. SEN
ator Morgan's objections were based
on other grounds.

FACTS ABOUT TWIN SIX.
Shorter Turning Radius a Feature
of New Packard Model.

Rumors about cylinder Packard
have been settled by the announcement
of the twin six. In external appearance
the new car retains all of the Packard
characteristics 1t looks much like pre-
vious models, except that the hood is
shorter. the radiator tapered to conform
with il and the running boards set two
inches nearer to the ground. The re-
duced length of hood permits of a short
.r wheel base
The twin six motor has two sX-cylin-
der blocks arranged in form with an
angle of sixty degrees between them. This
small included angle allows such acces-
sories as starting motor, generator and
water pump 10 be placed in the standard
Packard position just inside the frame.
The acute angle between the. cylinders also
permits of 4 narrow frame at this point,
with the result that the turning radius is
even shorter than before.
The twin sin il is said. has remarka
BILE range Of ability. combined with al
most complete absence of Nihra r1on at all
