~ EAREST SIR: In II minutes
we shall be in site Of Statue
of Liberty, u. S. A. and be-
cause my heart has become
Dubious with emotions /
shall write you hastily about Panama
Canal through which our boat walked
sweetly six CO. days of yore.
1t were 2 o'clock pm. afternoon
Satdy when we arrive up to city of
Balboa & We knew it were America
because everything look so face
washed & manicured. Hon. Canal
Zone are like all American posses
Sions, so clean that you cannot smell
the local color. This strip of hot
Nature are run by U. S. Street Clean
ing Dept which wash everything in
Guiding cellars, babies, churches, par
rots, every morning & dust them off
every afternoon. For such savagery
L. S. Govt must pay Panama Govt
.50000S pr yr. Otherwisely there
would be a revolution, and who
knows what?
There are nothing but water in
Panama Canal zone. Prohibition &
morality are forced on all residence
by those Janus puritans, y. S. Marine
Corps. But do not be discouraged by
this. Right across 42nd ST, Balboa,
are the City of Panama which are
the largest Prohibition Supply Sta
tion for its size in the world. Pana-
ma City are entirely composed of
gardens (roof, winter & beer) In
some sections there is none of these
low places. Merely saloons.
This international town have got
more e worse caharays than Column
bus Circle. N. Y. You see them every
where's, full of electricity & slightly
lame American kick-up girls with
lot of blond drugs in their hair &
beautiful noses for singing. Name
of those places are La Stingorina, La
Cantina del Jazz and FL Magnifico.
In those pictorisky places you are
enabled to hear quaint Spanish songs
like Signor Gallagher y Signor Sheen
and 81, No Tengo Banana which they
translate into English SO that Amer
lean towerists will understand the
words. There I meet Signora Pansy
Flickenbacker who got her golden
tooth put in the day her hair turned
that color.
She tell me the histeria of her life
(price Is for ginjer aid & ] nearly
sobbed. She say she would now be
leading lady in the Foolies of 1924
only she had a fight with another
Sho-girl name of Miss Flo Ziegfelt.
She say she come to Panama because
she love travle & are anxious go back
to n. Y. for similar reasons. If l
home. How pathos! I walk rapidly
from there because her story might
burst my heart.
Quite recently of yore I are told to
understand, Hon. President of Pan
anna became purified & decide to re-
form Panama City. With great
strength of caracter he chased out
that White Light District, which were
awful nobil of him. This are good
way to know.
Mr.. EDITOR, 1 shall now give you
AvA some lovable statistickS about
Hon. Panama Canal
When Americans pass through this
prolonged cash dividing Henri
spear (Western) they cannot help
getting swelled In two CD places,
heart & head. What could stop that
feeling? In my Surround the World

of Kamakura, Tai Mahal of India.
hui temple of Borobudur, great Wall
of China. Oh shifts! Please squeeze
all those objecks of art into one mash
& compare them with Panama Canal
where water runs uphill when he
feel like it & a steamboat can walk
through 100 mountains without get
ting uncomftable.
This Panam Canal cost American
Govt. several 100 million dollars to
dig it. From this they now make a
