As many as 12 mules" six on side, may be needed to keep a battleship from swaying against the side walls or ramming the gates to the lock ahead. A huge net of chains made of steel rods four inches in diameter is strung in front of the gates to prevent ram- ming by incoming ships. They drop to the bottom as the gates open in solemn cathedral fashion.
 The expert crews ride with each ship through the canal, from one side to the other, toggling the ship tightly in each lock.
 The eight-hour- of such al crew is done when the ship reaches the other side. They then board the Panama Rrailroad and ride back across the isthmus. The train ride takes them 112 hours.
 The canal management used to be afraid of running out of water filling the locks, even though the water used to fill the upper locks is used again to pour out into the lower locks. But years ago reser-. voir was built above Gatun Lake to augment the supply They have plenty now.
 The Army, which is responsible for guarding the canal, doubts that an airplane bomb, even a rather big one, would likely do much damage to the locks or gates They were built tough. But all strategists are afraid of lucky punch" which might tie it up. Tn that event it would take three weeks to a month to sail around the horn.

out of Czechosloval1ia last week.
France and England, and especially
England, say this thing has gone
far enough and threaten war if
that be necessary to stop Hitler.
Ny sympathy and understanding
go out to Chamberlain, England's
premier, as Germany's big boss
places him more firmly on the spot
of the worlds unthinking condem-
nation. Hitler is calling him cow
ard, one who is willing to sell out
his principles for a measure of
safety for himself and dares him to
fight. The world, without serious
thought, seems willing to accept
Hitler's appraisal. The world for
gets that Chamberlain is in no per-
sonal danger and therefore has no
need to consider himself in his deal
ings with Hitler. He could, as you
and I would likely do, slap the Hit
Ter face and tweak the Hitler nose
just for his own great satisfaction.
This would give the dictator just
the excuse for which he has been
trying, an excuse to plunge into
war, to sacrifice the lives of mil
lions of innocent persons and blame
the result on some one other than
himself. Chamberlain's restraint
seems to me both logical and very,
very commendable. Can't the world

Poetic Thoughts
Meeting the Challenge
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

World events changing every day,
The lives of people and boundaries don't stay
Where once we used to be able to say,
That certain country was bounded this way.
sra.-~
This brought about because of visions of peace
The world thought that aggression would cease,
By giving in at this early date,
And avoid war before it was too ''late."
It temporarily did, but like disease
Took rest, and began to seize
The remainder, and put into discard
The guarantees of protection where justice is barred
Excuses have been given in these perilous times
To advance totaltarian dreams with crimes,
For the end justifes any of their schemes,
When they fulfill their desires by any means.
The democratic countries did pause awhile,
Began to take stock to overcome Nazi guile,
And found out almost before twas too late,
That Hitler will deal them the same kind of fate.
Liberty -loving people can't stand and see
Any harm come to countries who have been free.
Sudden dismemberment and freedom they enjoyed
Caused democracy blow since they are destroyed
Right will win in face of overwhelming Odds,
Meet the challenge with righteous rods
Firmly grasped by leaders who dare
To handle situations with more than Mortified stare

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CLEAR DEMONSTRATION

Editor:
The citizens of st. Paul have q
clear demonstration of the impor-
lance of the st. Paul Recorder and
it's sister publication, the Spokes-
man, in keeping US informed on
vital happenings.
Our daily press devoted one par
agraph only to the passage by a
senate committee of the bill to end
insurance discrimination in this
state.
Approximately 100 persons, most
of these Negroes, attended the
hearing on this measure and filled
the entire senate chamber. The
number of those present was ex-
ceeded, during this session, only by
the crowds which attended the
hearings on the housing bill and
another matter regarding taxation.
