We cannot depend upon the children TO in

Permanent Improvements
in Panama

Now that the canal is completed
and in working order, the government
is going about the task of making its
structures on the Canal Zone perma-
nent. Neat and substantial struc-
lures are growing up on the zone.
Most of them are of concrete and are
finished in buff tint, with red-tiled
roofs. This color combination, in a
setting of green tropical hills and
well-kept lawns, is particularly pleas
ing to the eye.
Ancon and Balboa are also remark
able for their fine macadam roads.
Large gangs of West India blacks are
kept constantly at work on these, and
they are as smooth and perfect as
floors. Uncle Sam now has q jitney
service which for a dine will swiftly
whirl you anywhere you want to go
in the neighborhood of Ancon and
Balboa.
Ancon, Balboa and the city of Pan
anna are all grouped together at the
Pacific entrance OF the canal, and
their growth has made them practi-
cally one city. The tourist seldom
stays on the Isthmus long enough to
be quite sure when he is in Ancon and
when in Balboa; but he has no diff
ficulty in distinguishing the ancient
Spanish city of Panama.
In panama no plans grow except on
the balconies of the houses where
they are watered continuously by fair
senoritas and the water leaks
through the floor and goes down the
back of your neck as you pass be-
meath. Many of the streets are so
narrow that teams cannot pass. The
population that surges through them

iards, Indian, Negroes Cinnamon, tur-
baned Singalese, Gypsies in gaudy
rags and a goodly mixture of Ameri-
cans.
