TWO ANNIVERSARIES

Besides being the decennial of the
beginning of the World War, the year
1924 marks the tenth anniversary of
the opening if the Panama Canal.
The first event brought in its train
four years of bloodshed violence, and
suffering, followed by untold years
of misery, sorrow, and want-a chap
ter that will forever be blot on the
annals of civilized mankind one that
achieved little gain and much loss.
On the other hand, the opening of the
canal, an event which received rela-
lively little attention in the press at
the time, due perhaps to the fact that
it occurred within the actual shadow
Of the war tthe canal was opened to
traffic August Is, 1914 is one Of
the greatest monuments of peace in
all history. The war was destruc-
tive force, the completion of the great
waterway an outstandingly construct
tive one not only because Of the i'm
petus it gave to trade and commerce,
but because Of its stimulation to In
ternational travel and communica-
ton.
Judged simply in times of material
figures, the cost of building the "big
ditch" as it is effectionately known
to sailors has been $375 100000 while
the cost of the World War to all coun-
tries was so enormous that it will

TONIC FOR OUR IMAGINATION

Imagination is what is lacking in
most pity; with that ingredient left
out pity is always insipid and some
times nauseating.
But imagination is a thin vein in
the most of us and we are not very
sorry for many people because we
can't make real to ourselves in our
protected lives either their sufferings
or their fears.
Occasionally when an awful Gala
nifty happens, we get walked up to
imagining what it must be like, and
then for a while we simply overflow
with bounty for the victims. 1t was
that way, we remember, when the
Armenian massacres, soon after the
outbreak of the Great War, left
thousands of tiny children wandering
through mountains and over deserts
uncared for and undefended. Our
country then gave millions for their
rescue.
But when the wonderful philan-
thropy of Near East Relief gathered
these pitiful child wanderers into its
orphanages and gave them shelter,
food and education, the horror of it
passed into tranquility, and imagin-
alton failed u.s. The children were
safeff and very largely the American
people ceased to give. But as any
body knows who gives even a mo-
ment's thought to the matter, these
tragic children need food just as i'm
peratively in asylums and schools as
they did in the desert
1t is a wise catering to human ma
lures deficiencies when, to awaken
our imaginations again, the Near
East organization ask US on its Gold
en- Rule Sunday, December T. to eat
the same kind of scant and frugal
dinner which these orphans have to
be content with all the while-w whole
some no doubt, but laclzing the blue
ri bon cookerv that gives tang to ar
petite ordinarily in our homes.
( That experience, accente4, GU gilt to
make US all feel that we are aga !

and such v.sual'zation Should revive

try formerly gave to their necessities

When there are corporations in this

little since it does not express the
incomparably greater loss in human
life and happiness.
Moreover, the receipts Of traffic

greatly each year that within the
next decade it is altogether probable
that the entire cost of the great pro-
iect will be returned to the Treasury
Of the United States. 1t is doubtful
if even the mere mony losses of the

nothing of the greater loss in faith,

One of the Oldest model Oldsmobiles
is being shipped to San Antonio to
take part in the automobile parade
during Fiesta week here. The John.
son Supply company, local Oldsmobilc
dealers, recently received a letter
which stated that this car was now
on its way and was being brought here
by a well known instructor, T.. ].
McMullen, from the Olds Motor Works
at Lansing, Mich. This curious car
is little one-cylinder Oldsmobile
made in 1898 and is still in good run

of the type of automobile that has
carried such well known people as
Maude Adams, Mark Twain and Sir
Thomas Upton. 1t is expected to ar
rive in. San Antonio Sunday. 1t will
be unloaded Monday and entered in
the parade Tuesday.
Mr.. McMullen will show the old
curiosity to anyone who wishes to
