we were moved to amazement and
admiration at the wonders of the

Years of endurance and scientific study.
The accuracy with which the locks were
operated made a profound impression,
the lock gates and chains standing flush
with the walls and even the handrails
themselves falling down as the lock
gates open proved to us that no detail,
However small, had been omitted from
this stupendous engineering feat of the
2Oth century. -,

was wonderfully attractive. Many
tropical flowers, bright colored birds and
butterflies added to the gaiety of in

The Pacific ocean is as calm as
Chesterfield lake and our sail has been
very calm. We have a real menagerie
on bOard-parrots, parakeets, a baby
tiger. monkeys, cats and kittens.

BEN GETS THE GATE AND |. @. u FOR SllOO
THAT'S THE COST, PLUS JAIL, TO LOSE GIRL

1t cost young Ben Sisneros, i'm
petuous Spanish gallant, just
$1100 to lose his girl-and he's
not through yet.
Thus this is a tale OF grief.
Jobs trials would have seemed
mere passing cares in comparison.
Ben began by paying fervid
court to pretty Heloise Luna,
daughter of don." At length
they were engaged to be wed. And
then--Well, you know the old
adage, "borrow from a friend, and
friendship ceases" Don Francisco
Luna needed $400, pronto. What
more natural than that he should
go to his prospective son-in-law.
Bueno! The S400 was promptly
Forthcoming.
But, alas and alack! Some
strange GOODNESS crept over the
betrcthed Heloise. Poor Ben be-
seeched and expostulated, but at
length, in the parlance of the
street, he was "given the gate"
He made one last valiant stand,
did Ben Sisneros. He harnessed his
faithful horse to his groaning
buggy and cantered gallantly down
a lane where Heloise was wont to
walk with her little sister. For
tune fooled him, for Heloise list
ened to his impassioned plea and
got into the rig to elope. But little
sister, as little sisters always do,

to leave her fathers dwelling.

the fine), woe dwelt with Ben. So
ne formed a conviction to collect
the borrowed $4OO. Pay? Not
Helolse's father. Instead, he pulled
gun, so Ben testified. A fight
ensued and Ben, set upon by Fran.
cisco's kinsmen, was rudelv and
.carelessly beaten. In spite of that,
ne was arrested. Item: $500, plus
$4O0 and 5000, minus, his girl. And
on top of that two months here in
Jail.
Today Ben betook himself sadly
home to INLAND, having been grant
ed probation by Judge Cole on a
charge of assault and battery on
Francisco Luna, who borrowed the
$40O.
"Ho, hum," said Ben philo-
sophically as he bade Probation

If They Do Not Entangle
Uncle Sam Irrec0ncilables
Will Support
LOOKING INTO MATTER
Senator's Who Fought Will
sons Pact Want to Know
You Know, About It
By LAWRENCE MARTIN

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The
treaties of Washington must with.
stand the acid test, under which the
Versailles treaty failed, or they too
will be fought to finish by deter
mined senators.
This was the decision today of a
small but powerful group Of republi-
cans, all that is left of the "irrecon-
eilable" battalion which caused re.
lection of the League of Nations COW
enant.
If the seven treaties submitted late
yesterday for senate ratification By
President Harding can withstand this
test, the ''irreconcilables" will not
fight them. The test to be applied is
whether the treaties constitute in
fringement upon the traditional
American doctrine Of no alliances, no
foreign entanglements, no surrender
of American sovereignty.
While the foreign relations COM
mittee today met for it's first formal
consideration of the treaties, the
"acid test group" put the pact and
the report of the American deIega.
ton under searching scrutiny. Three
members of the group-BOrah, john
son and Brandegee-are members of
the foreign relations committee.
Their first step was to ask more
complete information if possible than
these treaties and the official report
afford as to the. underlying motives
and the exact methods entering into
various provisions of the treaties.
This may mean considerable delay in
reporting the treaties to the senate.

SWIFT CRUISERS
MUST BE- Had
So Says Senator Poinderter, in
Discussing the NelU
Situation
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-America
must build a number of swift scout
cruisers, must perfect the submarine
service, keep the destroyer force in
tact and efficient, and its navy man
power at high level, declared Senator
Poindexter, Washington, Republican
today.
If we fail in these things the equal
ity we get in the 5-5-3 ratio will van
ish and we will be at the foot of the
listing, he warned
Poindexter's counsel, given in an N
terview with the United Press, was
more significant from the fact Mat
he is acting chairman of the Senate
naval committee, which will have
much to say in shaping the future
navy.
Upbuilding of swift scout cruisers
is necessary, he contended, to keeE
pace with Britain and Japan's fleets
with their splendid equipment in bat.
tie cruisers and light cruisers.
