Mammoth Storage Plants PINNED Fol

the Canal Route.
Coal storing plants of mammoth mag
nitude are being planned on the Pan
anna canal route. One Of the storage
plants is to be situated at Cristobal
and another at Balboa.
1t Is planned to have a coal storage
basin at Cristobai with a capacity Of
100000 tons and one at Balboa with a
capacity Of 10000 tons. In each place
the storage will be within a large basin
made of re-enforced concrete, in which
approximately half of the coal will be
stored under water for use In time Of
war and the other half above water to
be added to and taken from continually
for the ordinary uses of commercial
and government vessels.
1t also Is planned if the policy should
be approved to be able to lease parts of
the storage basin to such private coal
ing companies as may wish to maintain
their own coal stores on the isthmus.
but In such cases all of the handling
will be done by the government plant.

policy at the polls. She pointed out
the beautiful streets of Harrisburg and
its parks and added with telling effect
that the women do not vote in Harris
burg.
Mrs. Fuller said that the women
could not be expected to do in the few
years they have been voting the things
that the men have not been able to ae-
complish in hundred years.
One Vote Just as Well
cit is absurd to make two vote
where one has been able to vote intel
ligently BEFORE said Mrs. Oliphant,
while Mrs. Fuller insisted that the
workingmen needed the vote of the
workingwomcn to carry his case at the
polls.
Mrs. Oliphant, who appeared first,
asked for chance at rebuttal but the
opportunity was refused because it was
hoped that the two speeches would not
appear in the nature of debate, yet
the remarks of Mrs. Fuller did oppose
as far as possible that of her prede-
cessor. Both speakers were roundly
cheered. After the meeting suffrage
literature was passed out at the door.
George .B. Rowan, chairman of the
joint legislative board of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and the Or
der of Railway Conductors, pleaded for
the passage of resolution by the dele

$1,000 men out of the train service and
referred to the increase in passenger
and freight rates as being sufficient to
pay the men. He was followed by N.
h. Tarner, legislative representative OF
the Order of Railway Conductors.
DR.. John Price Jackson, Commission
er of Labor and Industry, spoke on la

Hunger and Thirst.

While many men of science have
contended that the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that of
thirst in the throat, the Italian valenti
holds the view that the seat Of both
sensations is situated in the gullet. He
found that cocaine injection in the
esophagus (the channel from the mouth
to the stomach) resulted in immediate
suppression Of the sensations Of both
hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the
chewing of coca leaves renders the
gullet insensitive and destroys any de
sire for food or drink. New YORK
