LANCASTER S. G. TUESDAY,
CANAL TO BE READY
FIRST OF THE YEAR
Cnotlicially Stated Big Ditch Will
he Opened Not Later Than
January 1St.

Panama, Oct. 23.-Although an
official statement is lacking, it has
become known that the Panama
canal will be ready for traffic not
later than January 1, 1916. Major
General Goethals. governor of the
canal zone, declines to commit him
self on any definite date Tor reopen-
ing the canal in view OF the uncer-
tainty of slide conditions i'm the
Gaillard cut.
General Goethals expressed gratid-
cation at the progress made by the
dredging fleet, which is coping with
tremendous task in view of the vast
quantity of earth set in motion by
the latest slide.
Although General Goethals would
not set date on which he thought
the canal might be reopened, other
canal engineers expressed the con-
viction that a sufficient channel to
permit the passage of light draught
vessels would be attained consider
ably before the first OF the year.
These engineers point out that the
channel was originally closed for a
distance of 1900 feet, and that since
the latest great slide dredges have re-
stored a thirty-foot channel virtually
half OF that distance and at a width
sufficient for the passage Of smaller
vessels. Nearly all of the ships which
were delayed at Cristobal have de-
parted by other routes, and those held
up at Balboa are departing as fast as
they can obtain coal

Ex-senator Il. ID. Smith today. in
commenting on the recent criticism

1t was something which there was
little use of their trying to under
stand, because it was a matter OF
hnance, and only bankers understood
hnance. He said particularly that
he would that the farmer of the

When Love Is Lost

When love is lost. the day sets towards
the night
Albeit the morning sun may stm be
bright.
And not one cloud-ship sails across the
sky.
Yet from the places where II used To lie
Gone is the lustrous glory Of the light.
No splendour rests in any mountain
height.
no scene spreads fair and beauteous TO
the sight;
When love Is lost,
Love lends TO life its grandeur and its
mi isht;
Love goes. and leaves behind it gloom
and blight;
Like ghosts OF time the paIid hours drag
By.
And sriers one happy thought is that we
die
An. what can reeompense us for It's flight,
When love Is lost2

All fashions this season have distinct-
~ military touch about them, and no
one can wear the rather severe cut and

The sketch on this page was drawn
from Il model Of sand-colored milan
trimmed with black MORE ribbon. This
color scheme is particularly smart, but
the style could be carried out equally
well in many other different tnts.
The one thing to remember is that the
ribbon should be as stiff as possible. If
you get soft satin or silk, the plaits
win blow about and soon lose their shape.
stiff more ribbon would be the most
suitable; tametas and corded ribbons
would not do as we'll.
