PANAMA NAVY BASE
Board Says Reorganization on
Commercial Basis Could Save
$5,ooo,ooo a Year

BY the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 6.--Thorough re-
organization Of the administrative ma
chinery In the Panama Canal Zone,
with radical changes in existing policies
affecting employment Of labor, physical
operation Of the canal and railroad, pay
of employees and other important sub.
jects. Is recommended in the preliminary
report submitted to Secretary Weeks by
the commission which recently invcsti-
gated conditions in the Canal Zone at
his request.
Asserting that it has failed to find
anything to justify continued expendi-
base at the Canal, the report recon

mends that operation of various facili-
ties for naval purposes "cease immedi =

agency. until Congress shall otherwise
indicate
The commission estimates that an an
nual saving of $5,O00,0 900 would result
from adoption OF it's suggestions.
Chief among the recommendation Il
that the Governor of the Canal Ion'
be directed mot to make agreements OF
understandings with the Canal employc
or any class thereof, for any period o

1T is further recommended, the re,

A MONG some advance fashion notes
"A from Paris | learned that Caracul
will be one of the leading furs this
winter. And when entered the shop
Of J. Habisreitinger, 1911 Chestnut
Street, the first wrap which ] saw
was a beautiful black Caracul dolman
with a large circular Kolinsky collar
and revers which came to the bot
tom of the cloak. This is just an eX-
ample of how one always finds the
latest modes at this shop. A coat OF
lovely soft gray Squirrel also at
! tracted me. 1t was made with the
| smart looking tuxedo effect front and
the chinchin collar and cuffs of
| Skunk lent a distinctive note. But
perhaps, at present, you are more
! interested in scarfs; if so, you will
! find the Silver Foxes unusually beau
tiful in color and quality.
/ WHEN you go to a store like that
! w Of the J. F. Buchanan Supply
Company, 1715 Chestnut Street, you
are assured Of procuring the newest
and best electrical appliances, des-
| tined not only to save YOU time and
labor but also to add to your com
/ fort and convenience. The Sweeper
! Vac is a good example of the many
useful devices sold by this company.
| To appreciate the advantages which
this cleaner has over all others you
should try operating it Yourself; and
| for this purpose Buchanan'S will be
glad to give you a demonstration in
your own home. One of the main
points Of superiority of the Sweeper
Vac is that by merely turning lever
it is converted from a plain suction
cleaner to a Sweeper with Motor
Driven Brush, so indispensable in
gathering lint, hairs, threads, etc.
LOUISE CLEANING Time. What
IL are you most in need of for ac-
romplshing this arduous semi-annual
undertakings vacuum cleaner, a
carpet sweeper, a broom, various
kinds of brushes, dust pan, n mop
for floor, walls or ceiling, scrubbing
! brushes, busters, a chamois, cleaning
! fluids? Whatever articles they may
be, you are sure to find everything
that you want at the Housefurnish-
ing Store of j. Franklin Miller, 1912
Chestnut Street. Then there are the
| hardwood floors which demand con-
stant care; and you will be pleased
with the waxing outfit which | saw
.oday at Miller's. 1t includes John
son Floor Waxing Brush and pound
Of wax. These outfits are very in
expensive, being especially priced at
| $3.50. and they will prove most useful in
keeping your doors in good condition.

AND FAMILY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers.
And Sisters.
How Nature Builds Character.

How Nature Builds Character.
The more we study the child's in
born tendency to initiate others, the
more certain we become that this in
stinct could be made far more useful
than it is in shaping the characters
of our little ones.
The truth which we must see is not
that they initiate, but that they i'm
itate those whom they hold in admira-
tion and respect. We do not find them
initiating those of whom they disap-
prove; but on the other hand, we are
very certain that really large part
of their lives is made up Of acts, per-
formed unconsciously perhaps, in i'm
itation of those of their companions
and acquaintance who M they most
admire
It is for us to help them in finding
and choosing the models" whom they
will copy. Their little lives are limit
ed. They know few from whom to
choose; and if they have no guidance
and are not led to see the difference
between right and wrong actions the
instinct will only cause them to choose
blindly. Then we shall find them pres
emily copying the doubtful conduct
and fixing the bad habits of question
able companions.
Good stories will always capture
their interest; and in good story,
child will find his model, or ideal, as
readily as among his companions of
the flesh. The ancient Romans trained
their children as to moral conduct in
this manner exclusively. There is no
limit to the number of noble, idealized
characters that we may bring before
them in this way; and because of the
thrilling situations in which these
characters take part, their appeal to
the children is irresistible. It is not

to clean up the political parties. The
political boss seems to be doomed if
the women can put an end to his un-
holy existence, and machine methods
in politics will likewise be brought to
an utter end. This was set down as
the first objective of the League. And
the determination shown by the assem-
bled delegates on this point bodies no
good for the men who are responsible
for the corrupt practices of the pres
ent system. If the women can "get"
them, they mean to do so; and event.
ually they can, for the nationwide
campaign of education which they are
carrying on among the members of
their own sex promises soon to make
them irresistible.
It is to be noted that men, other than
the political bosses, will be able to find
no fault with the women's program;
for all who are really good citizens
will be only too glad to see the poll
teal parties cleaned up.

women VOTERS
TAKE Stand

It was probably true that every male
political leader in the United States
was watching with much care and
some uneasiness the proceedings of
the convention of the National League
of Women Voters at Cleveland, Ohio,
recently.
This organization, which is new, but
already becoming powerful, is made
up of women of all parties. Indeed,
it has come to be regarded by some po-
litical leaders as a genuine menace to
our whole system of government by
parties.
The people who were watching it
were doubtless reassurred as to one
point though some of them were pro-
badly dismayed as to another. The
league does NOT stand for the over
throw of the party system nor advise
its members to forsake or hold aloof
in any way from the party organiza-
tions. Instead it holds that every wo-
man should belong to political party
and use her influence through it as the
one only possible means of making
the influence felt, just as men have
always done in the past
However, the convention announced
in words that can not be misunderstood
its enmity toward political trickery
and corruption, and it's determination

necessary that the stories be told oral
~. Rather, the children should soon
be LED to read them for themselves.
Almost, we may say that the child
who gets into the habit of reading good
stories never goes wrong, no matter
from what source they may come The
reason is clear. The characters of the
stories, Notwithstanding they have no
real existence, have become his ideals,
the models by which he shapes his life.
We may not see them, but he does. And
we may be certain that if he can be
kept copying good models, the whole
problem of behavior and character
formation is already solved.

.HONORS
COME EASY

The first woman to be made mayor
of an Ohio city or village is Mrs. Dol
lie Spencer, who was recently elected
to this office in Milford, a village of
about five hundred people.
The newspapers call her Aunt Dol
lie and insist that she makes the best
pies of any woman in that part Of the
state.
She has been probation officer and
Chief of Police of the town of which
she is now mayor, which is quite a
string of honors to add to that of being
a champion cook. Moreover, since she
ran on both tickets, we seem warrant
ed in assuming that she is not so slow
as politician.
