The Misses Mildred and Ida were students
in the commercial department at the Balboa
school when the change of residence was
made. The United States maintains primary
and grammar schools in every town within
the zone limits where American employees
are located but there are only two high
schools, one at Balboa and the other at New
Cristobal The latter is a much smaller
school, with an enrolment of about eighty
pupils, while the Balboa school has an en-
rolment OF several hundred scholars There
is no commercial department in the New
Cristobal school.
One of the conditions on which Mr.. Brown
changed his position was that his daughters
be allowed to complete the school course in
Balboa. His daughters were presented with
Communication tickets each month free of
charge to them Miss Mildred was grad
uated year ago; Miss Ida still has year
to attend.
Salt water bathing is favorite amuse-
ment with all classes on the isthmus. at
least of the people residing near the oceans.
The Misses Mildred and Ida are expert
swimmers; the latter has a gold medal given
as a prize for a mile swim. Miss Mildred
has a record for a FIVE mile swim. having
crossed and recrossed a section of the bay
near her home two and half miles wide.
Both of the young women have swum in
both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on the
same day.

see how many of the young men will fall in
love with the work.
There is no more reason why all girls
should learn one particular job than that
boys should: no more reason why women
should be expected to make all their clothes
than that men should be required to make
all of their wearing apparel. Get it out of
your system. Harry Nathan that you men

in house. Learn to be an extra good
domestic and you need never be out of

possibly some day you folks will show
little more appreciation of what women
have always endured to make you COM
Portable.
Why bless your innocent heart, young
lady, you can't change the scheme of things
on earth 1t isn't possible. 1t is just as natural
for a woman to bathe her babies and cook
for them and sew for them and wash dishes
and keep clean the home in which they live
as it is natural for her to give those babies
birth. Does che stop her attentions to her
children at any specified age? She does not

band in her loving care because she has

her first baby, as in fact he is.
If men had the housework to do it simply
wouldn't be done and our civilization would
lapse to the level of the savage. Women
have always been the refining, uplifting in
fiuence. They are the sponsors for the next
generation. It's s-their job. They can't evade
it. There is nothing that makes for refine
ment in the business of making money down
in the financial district.
Refinement and beverages, II they are
any good, are always home brews.

sand on the floor. He always begins at the
north side. He thinks human beings first
emerged out Of the north. Intersectng lines
Of meal are drawn across the sand The
pollen of corn is mixed with water to make
medicine to use in the celebration. Six
skins of animals are laid on the lines of
meal. Then six more skins. An ear of corn
Is laid on each skin. These ears of corn are
of six different colors. each one representing
a principle Of much importance. Pebbles are
dropped on the skins. eight songs are sung
and the exercise lasts ninety minutes. After
this chief takes a piece of quartz out OF
the bag of another chief puts it in his mouth,

faces he flashes the sunlight down into the

long, two wide and half inch thick Fire
drills are some two feet long and thick
led pencil. One end of the fire drill is
set in a hole in the frestone. The top end
of the drill is held between the palms of the
hands and revolved at high speed. Smoke
appears in few seconds and fire in short
time. Grooves are cut in the firestone and
filled with tinder. The slightest spark sets
the tnder afire. Flames down the
grooves and ignite larger bunch of tinder.
Blazing tinder is carried to the big fire

paint white spot on each cheek. and every
officer throws a pinch of meal on the fire

stark naked except when occasional
breech cloth is worn.
The firemakers enter two by two. White
lines are painted down legs and arms. All

mighty song bursts out on the air. Each
man sings a different tune and beats

A few months ago excavations began and
the ruin was found to be the Temple of New
Fire left by the ancient Fire Worshippers
1t lies in a shallow cave some three hundred
feet long, about half as wide and nearly as

saying, that the fellers fightin to-day could

down again. That, we judge is what the
oldtimer means.

We like the spirit of the oldtimer's audi
ence. No one is arguing with him. After
all, he is not asking much of life. All he
wants is to see an impressed look on the
faces of his listeners. This is not much.
Ha! we have an idea. We are going to
earn the oldtimer's undying affection by tell
ing him that we once interviewed the late
John L. Sullivan (for the old bridgeport,
Comm Herald and think he could have killed
Dempsey. Look at the old war horses face
light up as we tell him that! That's right,
young feller, be fair" he says with a happy
grin. All; there, oldtimer. we are on to you.
Your notion of fairness is anything that
glorifies the past. But we are with you, old
darling. We are with you all the way You
wouldn't get kick out of life IL you couldn't
tell the youth of to-day not to get so ex-
cited over the present; that, after all, there

And seen the way them fellers slammed, I'll
tell the world you ought.
No runnin' all around the place to keep from

Them fellers stood right up and punched
until their knuckles split.
No squawkin' for juicy purse before they'd
take the ring.
They fought because they like to fight and
that is why I sing:
CHORUS:
Gimme the good old days
When fists wuz made for fightin!
When heads wuz smashed and beezers dashed
And battles wuz excitn'l
When boxing shows wuz staged
In seven feet o. gore
An through the night the boys would fight
A hundred rounds or more!
And. say. another battle that you never

The boards so hard when Battling BlTer hit
him on the ear
The fioorin' busted. Harry fell, and though
for many year
They hunted everywhere for him. they never
found him, no!
And where's the fighter nowadays can hit
that hard blow?
