PANAMA

The first permanent settlement in the new world was established at Panama 397 years ago today. August IS, 1519, by Pedrarias, the Spanish governor. In exploring the Pacific coast along the isthmus the Spanish adventurers found small fishing will lage called Panama, and on the date given above the Governor established his capital there. Two years later, by royal decree, Panama was made city and the seat of bishop. Panama became the center for Spanish ex- plorations in North and South Amer ica, and many expeditions were sent ont frorn there in search of gold. Ii was from Panama in 1924 that Pizarro began the voyage which end ed in the discovery of Peru. After that a highway was established across the isthmus, following much the same route as the Panama canal. and over tlis the. wealth of Peru was trans ported to the Spanish treasure ships in the Atlantic. To this day small sec tions of paved road are to be seen as relics of the o'd Spanish highway over which so much treasure was carried. in the early days Panama suffered much from the rirates, who often footed and sometimes partially or completely destroyed the town.

URGES BUNK CAR AS
 TROOP TRANSPORT

| New York, Aug. 15-Dp., Thomas Darlington, formerly Health Commis- ksioner of New York city, who was sent by the National Civic Federation l to make study of the sanitary con- ditions of the United States soldiers and State militia encamped in Mex ico and along the border, takes excep- ton, in his preliminary report pub lished yesterday. to the manner in which the militia was transported to the border.
 Dr.. Darlington takes the ground that every soldier should have a bed for himself when being transported and not have his body in contact with that of any other man, because body contact spreads disease. Also he holds that if the men arrive at their destination well rested they are in a better condition to resist disease.
 There are those," he says, "who think that if man is a soldier, any, thing is good enough for him and he can be transported even in coal car if necessary-and there is mistaken idea that there should be used in the treatment of these troops what is known as the hardening process. Men
 
 feet specimens physically-and the majority morally-who are willing to give up their business and even their lives for love of country, should be held in the highest esteem, and we should do everything to conserve their health. There are many whose views accord with mine on this point"
 Dr. Darlington recommends defi- mite type of car, similar to that used in construction work, for transport ing soldiers. He says that these cars could be put to other uses in time of peace.
 The report which was made public by Louis B. Schgamm, chairman of the executive section of the soldiers welfare committee of the National Civic Federation, says that pr. Darl-- ington found the 7,300 soldiers from Kansas. Maryland, and Vermont, en- camped at Eagle Pass, Tex, were comfortably and sanitarily located, and were getting good food. He praised the hospital accommodations.
 Dr. Darlington made an exhaus- tive investigation Of the dairies near the camps, and found varying degrees of cleanliness. He recommends the use of condensed or dried milk in the camps.

What could be more delightful than a trip on a large, comfortable boat, with good food, excellent company, music and comfortable sleeping ac- commodations with interesting sights at the end? When vacation time comes we want change and a rest. This can best be had by taking a sea trip. Perhaps this cannot be a long one. But even short one, say of one, two or three days is most en- joyable, such a trip as to Maine, Nova Scotia, or Norfolk and Old Point Com fort Or if you can be away longer, say to New Foundland. New Br:!ns- wick, Canada or Bermuda, and Ja- maica. We will be very glad to talk over any of these trips with you, giv- ing you full information as to cost and duration. We are also agents for all of the large tourist agencies and can give particulars of their trips and tours. We are the oldest estab- lished ticket agents ine Connecticut, and our many years experience in that line is put at your service. s. Loe- with & Co., 116 Bank street.
