Having recently returned from his fifth trip to Panama after highly enjoyable sail and visit to the Isthmus, Charles Brown of Warren street said Thursday night when asked why he chooses to go south so frequently, that he goes because it is an alluring trip. The love of the tropics, the sailing on summer seas under tropical sun, southern skies and tropical nights are enchanting. The gorgeous Carribean is never to be forgotten as nights there might shame the fairest day. l go be- cause it is a trip 2000 miles straight away down by the Bahamas, through the West Indies. the American Medi- terranean and across the wide blue Carribean sea, he said. It is well worth going so frequent and so far because it is an ideal resort, our ideal summer or winter resort.

 What interests the public now most and the question first asked is what about the slides? Will they ever stop them? No man can tell absolutely. opinion is as good as another's. Other things about the canal also interested me quite as much. However, we looked it yer thoroughly. We spent there 10 hours walking over up and
