", with no regard to precedent, and
with amazing speed, such feats as
these characterize the spirit of the
city. 1t was in connection with this

steel girders were dropped to their
foundations last summer, wen as
trains from the station sandwiched
the operations. A swing Of a few
inches, and one Of the cars could
have been crushed by the monster
struts. Yet not q single accident
resulted. and the work proceeded as
calmly as if it were an everyday
affair.
Depew place, mentioned above, is
more in theory than in fact. Occa-
sionally, you will find small inlets
and alleys which mark the former
passages on the street. For instance,
a sign on the canopy for the Commo-
dore reads "Depew place" but there
is 10 street to be seen. IL you cross
in back of the ~postoffice on Forty
sixth street, you will find a driveway
that runs almost up to Forty-second

cents.
A tabloid reporter timidly asked
her if she were engaged 20 the man
who flew with her. He was answered
by a freezing stare. No, the tabloids

floor of Grand Central depot, crosses
Forty-fifth street about IL feet above

I have lain awake night blaming myself for my stu

Everybody else surely knows, or everybody else

Just what makes a man clean-eut? And isn't there

car conductor?
What is the young man who isn't clean-cut. and
how may ] know him when / see him? Night one call
him dirty-cut if he were quite the opposite to the
lclean-cut fellow?
My own idea is that a clean-cut young man is one
who resembles the young man in the collar ads. Under
Itwenty-three, well-dressed, freshly shaved, with regu-
lar features, and with a slightly go-gettem personali-
ty. Am ! right or wrong? And even IL / am right,

If I have defined the clean-cut young man cor
rectly, then he is just one Of many desirable and de-
serving young men. For many excellent fellows are

GENERAL COCKTAILS
CORPUS Christi Caller)

It is characteristic Of Americans to admire the
man who does things; who finishes what he has be-
gun. That is why the natien so loved and SO honored
Gen. George W. Goethals, the famous builder Of the
famous Panama canal. He succeeded where others had
failed. He devoted to the gigantic task not only his
.unquestioned genius but a grim determination which
hurled down barriers and trampled precedent.
The Panama canal is, perhaps, the outstanding
monument to American engineering skill and American
ingenuity. 1t is one of the worlds marvels. General
Goethals built it in spite Of a certain hostility upon
the part of his fellow-countrymen when the task was
.~begun-hostility that changed to wonder and admira-
ton when the task was finished. He overcame OBJ
stacles which had discouraged and defeated lesser
men.
Much Of the credit General Goethals gave to those
who labored with him. There was, for instance. Cen
eral Gorgas, who made it possible for men to live and
work in a region which had been fatal to thousands
who had gone there before. There were the able
army engineers who made up General Gothals' staff
for his organization was almost wholly military. Yet
it was the guiding genius Of General Goehtals him
self which directed and, organized the effort Of his
subordinates and brought success to the project.
Texas. incidentally, owes a special debt of graft
tude to General Cocktails. His work in connection
with the Intracoastal Canal association was one of the
chief contributing causes to the adoption of the pro-
ject. He made a personal survey Of the territory to
be served by the canal, and his report based upon
that survey was adopted in its entirety. We recall
his visit to Corpus Christian occasion upon which
he permitted himself to grow as enthusiastic as his
training in the habits of. conservatism would permit.
He saw a vision of the future South Texas.
General Goethals, shortly before his death, came
to South Texas a second time. He again became as
ISOLATED with the Intracoastal Canal association, this
time to conduct an industrial survey Of the canal route
from Corpus Christi southwark to Point Isabel and to
Harrington. That survey, unfortunately, was never
completed, for failing health forced him to abandon
his intention of making a personal study of the situa-
ton.
A suggestion that a monument 70 General Goethals
be erected at the entrance Of the Panama canal has
been made. 1t is an admirable suggestion. But
should II, for some reason, fail to be carried out there
II already a monument which will continue to make
the name of General Goethals live-the great canal
which separates two continents physically, and draws
them together in the sense of human relations.
General Goethals was one of Americas great, not
only of his day but of all time. AS long as ships sail
the seas, as long as men admire the courage and de-
termination and genius, his name will never be for
gotten, his service to his country never be minimized.
