TIME WAS RIPE
 FOR PANAMA TO
 STAND BY SELF

PANAMA, April 8 (by Associated
 Press).--The hostilties with Costa
 Rica over disputed border territory, which began in January and evoked
 an admonitiOn from the United States government, broke just at the right
 moment for the administration of President Belisario Porras to at tempt to utilize them in it's campaign
 to assure the isthmian republic the
 right to conduct it's affairs without foreign interference.
 ] A national spirit has been devel- oping in Panama since November 3, 1903, when for the fifth and last time, Panama declared her independ-
 ence. It was hardly perceptible dur
 ing the first decade of the republics
 existence, but, in his New Years
 message of January l, 1921, Presi- dent ,Porras gave utterance to the
 belief of his administration that the
 time was ripe for Panama to stand
 alone
 Protests to the state department
 at Washington over the taking over of land by the American government for canal defense purposes was the firsts tep in the independence pro-
 gram. The Porras administration asserted that the occupation of terri. tory under the Hay-Varilla treaty should be consummated through regu- lar diplomatic channels and that, if the United States government coE- tinued it's present policy to it's logi-
 cal conclusion, it could swallow the
 entire republic without pausing to
 notify the victim.
 These protests, aimed at the utiliza- tion of points on Taboga island, on the Pacific side, and on the Bahia de las Minas, on the Carribean shore,
 were almost simultaneous with a pro test against written opinion by Judge John w. Hanan of the United l States district court of the canal zone, in which the court stated Pan-
 anna occupied the position of a pro- tectorate of the United States. Presi- dent Porras declared that he count
 ed upon the support of Latin-Ameri-
 can republics in this protest.
 The next incident upon which the
 Porras administration took a decided
 stand for a free hand ia running the
The Cordova daily times., 1921-04-08

republic came during the last week in February, when the president, in an interview given the Associated Press, announced that he had decided to name a Panamanian to succeed Addison T. Ruan American, as fiscal agent. During the incumbency of MT. Ruan the republic had piled up a surplus of $2,500O00, which the ad- ministration intended to utilize in an extensive road building program. In this connection the president said:
 "The American minister, William Jennings Brice, is opposed to the appointment of a Panamanian citi. zen, claiming we must appoint a can didate selected by the American gov ernment. This question seems to be connected with the termination of the contract with the International Banking Corporation as depository of the governments funds and treasury receipts, which I have decided not to renew because we have a national bank managed today by a very eff ficient manager and which is in a prosperous condition"
 Immediately after this interview, 1t was announced that the government had awarded road building contracts to two companies, one North Ameri. can and the other Panamanian. in program involving the expenditure of about $7,O00,OOO.
 Even while the president and the American minister were conferring over the affair of the fiscal agent, Costa Rican forces, on February 21, occupied the small town of Coto, on Golfo Dulce, the most extreme Pa cific side frontier point of Panama. Without following the 1S-year old cus- tom of advising the United States au- thorities, the president dispatched a force of national police from Pan anna to dislodge the alleged invaders.
 In official American quarters here it was noted that Panamas determin- ation to live her own life manifested itself at time when the national administration at Washington was changing and that it was marked by the failure to advise American repre- sentatives of the steps taken to pre- serve Panama's territorial integrity, even though the United States guar anteed this integrity in the canal treaty.
 Despite efforts to keep the expedi- tiOn secret, the American authori- ties learned of the movements of the two Central American governments promptly and in advance of most of the residents of Panama.
 The prompt dispatch of American warships to Bocas del Toro and the note sent to Panama and Costa Rica by Secretary of State Hughes on March calling halt in the hostili- ties came as a shock to plans of the Panama administration to settle the dispute over Costa Rica single-hand- ed.
 The situation in Panama prior to the retirement of the Costa Rican forces from the territory they had seized was in many respects similar to that prevailing in Mexico before the fall of Carranza, where the gov ernment sought to hold public support by posing as the defender of Mexico's rights against North American az gression.

The Art of Growing Old.
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid woman Writer.

1nasmuch as the only way we can
escape growing old is by dying young,
why do we pay so little attention to
the art of growing old gracefully?
We are always preaching to the
young about what they should do to
render themselves more agreeable to
their fellow creatures. We tell them
that they must avoid certain faults,
and practice certain virtues. We coun-
sci them to display modesty, self-re-
straint, and consideration for others
in their demeanor if they wish to
make themselves persona grata with
their families and friends. We urge
them to mind their manners" as our
nurses used to say, and to be careful
that their personal habits are not suen
as to offend those with whom they
come in contact.
But. while we are so insistent about
the young making themselves livable,
SO to speak, nobody ever says a word
to the old about correcting their faults,
and making themselves more agreea-
BILE companions. Yet surely Grandpa
and Grandma might eliminate many
of their most trying characteristics il
they would. It's never too late to
learn.
OF course every right-minded per-
son feels it a duty to take care of the
aged, but in the great majority OF
cases it is a duty and not pleasure,
as IL Sn0ulQ De. II TAKES d 1Ol VI pa
thence and self-control to bear with
the vagaries of the old, and almost
superhuman endurance to keep up an
appearance of interest in their ofttold
tales.
1t is a terrible thought that this is
a fate that will overtake US all II we
don't watch out. We too shall come
to the place where we are endured in
stead of welcomed, and where we bore
people to tears instead of entertaining
them.
So while we are still young we
should begin to prepare for old age,
and to guard against the vices of age.
The principal one is self-coneelt; why
the possession of years should be sup
posed to ehdow an individual with
supernatural wisdom, goodness only
knows. 1t does, however, and every
old person believes firmly that he or
she is an incarnation of Solomon at
his most sapient moment.
A man may never have had intelli-
gence to make a living, but just be-
cause he is seventy years old, he feels
perfectly confident to tell the secre-
tary of the treasury how to run the
finances of the government A woman
may have been such a fool that she
kept her house like pig sly, and
practically murdered every one of her
own children thru her ignorance, but
just because she has gotten old she is
sure that she knows more about rails
ing children than Doctor Holt and all
the baby specialists put together.
It is this constant flow or advice
on every subject under the sun that
makes old people get on our nerves
worse than anything else, and so as
preparation for old age we might be-
gin by cultivating in ourselves a Spar
tan determination to refrain from
putting our fingers into other peoples
pies, and telling them how to manage
their own affairs. Really this hal
lucination that YOU are Old Man, or
Old Lady Know-it-all is a far greater
indication of age than mere wrinkles
and gray hair.

PREADJUsTED RESOLUTION.


All that we get out of life is much
a matter of readjustment and pread-
! justment. But 1 am inclined to be-
lieve that the preadjustment plans
work out best.
In one of the essi-ys of John Bur-
roughs, I found this sentence: "One
may walk all day nearly as easy as
half that time if he Is prepared be-
forehand. He knows his task and
measures and distributes his powers
, accordingly"
If you set yourself to a tash=and
know in advance that it is going to
be q very difficult one, you are not
going to be easily discouraged.
The reason why big men accom-
pllsh wonders is that they see wonders
in their brain long before they even
attempt to work them out. Then,
when they do get into the job itself
nothing can stop them from aehiev-
ing great things
Preadjust your resolutions-and put
them high!
Recently took a long motor trip.
I had so much time to make it in
and given number of miles to cover.
determined upon certain distances
for each day-and covered them-re
CARELESS of weather conditions or
roads. I found myself covering a
great distance in a day, over very bad
roads in stretches, yet without being
much fatigued at light
It is what you do not determine
upon that is difficult.
Work out your day and all your
plans, as nearly as possible, accord
ing to resolution. Then things will
shape themselves with smoothness
and you will go thru your work with
the least irritation and with greatly
increased satisfaction.
And then the brain sort of fixes
everything up with the body when It
- f.-~4 -t,~ 49, -
accomplished.
| But one of the most valuable points
to be gained in preadjusted resolution
is this-you have an objective-some-
thing to work toward that has within
it a sense of inspiration SOM how
you say to yourself that the thing
must and will be done.
And so it is done!

TURN oE THE TIDE.

The turning point for American in
dustry and commerce which for SONS
months has been increasingly encour-
aging has IN the last ten, days, in this
view of the St. Louis Times, assumed
what is generally regarded as indis-
putabie evidence that business condi-
lions now have actually regalned their
equilibrium. Cotton last week scored
q sensational rise--a, rise which
bankers agree has altered the entire
Industrial outlook for the Southern
states.
Grain values in the last ten days
It points out. have advanced in ex-
traordinary fashion. Wall street senti
ment has been greatly improved
Stock and bond issues have reflected
q considerable amount of new buying
for both investment and speculative
purposes. Bank reserves continue to
gain, and despite autumn crop NOV
ing demands, money promises to be
easy. Iron production for the past
month increased for the first time
since last October.
