SUGGESTION MADE ID STOP.
 PANAMA SLIDES

The only way to stop slides at the Panama canal, says Dr. John c. Brau- ner, a veteran California geoligist, writing in the Sunset Magazine, is to keep out the water not out of the canal, but out of the surrounding soil So long as the earth that incloses the canal is able to become water soaked just so long will it keep sliding.
 It was evident from the outset that the digging of the canal required the removal of the support of the adja- cent land; it was equally evident that there was no practical way to substi- ute an artificial support for the one taken away.
 The character of the rocks involved in the slide is matter that cannot be changed. They are of slippery, un- dependable kind.
 The third element of the problem the water -- is the only one that there is any chance for man to control. The rainfall itself cannot be influenced but it is quite possible to keep the water from getting into the ground and the control of the water offers our only hope of preventing the con tinuation of the slides.
 Speaking for myself. see but one thing that offers any hope of success and that is to protect the entire area sliding or likely to slide, first by keep ing the surface waters from running into it, and finally by some sort of watertight covering over all the slid ing or threatened ground, that will completely shut out the water, and keep it out"
