Panama, Feb % 3.-Efforts are

minal cities. The subject has been
discussed at recent meetings of the
Panama Chamber of Commerce and
il is believed that an active cam
paisn to further the project will
soon be started
The National Assembly of Panama
has already passed the necessary
legislation authorizing the construc-
tion of warehouses. 1t is necessary
that the Congress of the United
States also pass such a measure.
The merchants point out that with
the opening of the permanent chan
mel in the canal the business oppor-

in consequence storage facilities on

WORKING HARD
THOUGHTLESSLY

The Reporter-Star begs to protest.
firmly If mildly against the exhibit
tion of snakes in shop windows. The
zoo is proper place for snakes in
captivity-if there be any proper
place for them. There are good
reasons why such exhibitions on the
streets should not be allowed. To
many they are repulsive, and even
those who do not wish to view them
are in manner forced to do so. Be-
sides this, Florida has a reputation
with our northern friends of being
land of snakes and alligators.
While many of us devote no little
time and effort to setting forth the
attractions OF this great State there
are others. who thoughtlessly no
doubt, seem Bent upon doing things
, that tend to Offset the we'll intended
efforts of their neighbors. We wish
to emphasize the statement that
such things are thoughtlessly done,
for we would accuse no one OF doing
or attempting TO do anything design
edly TO injure or destroy any good
work. One rattlesnake in captivity
displayed during the course Of sew
eral weeks TO many visitors might
result in turning away thousands OF
dollars in investments Orlando Re-
