Colonel Goethals Reports That if ^ore Occur They Will Neces sarily Push Date Beyond Jan-1 uary 1, 1915, Scheduled Time,' WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 No del nlte date for the official opening: of the Panama Canal is set in the an nual report of Colonel George Go- fcthals, chairman and chl**f engineer of the Canal Commission, which has Just been submitted to Secretary of War Garrison. Neither is there any pre diction as to when ship# may pass from ocean to ocean. The first day of the canal’s actual operation still depends upon the treacherous slides of Culebra Cut and how fast the dredges can work to keep the channels open. *‘It has been the general belief that the effect of the water in the cut would tend to retard slid:*, and ex perience below’ the Gatun Ivocks fully Justified this belief,” said Colonel Goethals. "On the other hand, thi geologist is of the opinion that tha water may to some extent develop new slides. Again, much ado was made in 1909 over the seamy character of rock on the Isthmus, through which water flows quite rapidly, in conse quence of which the question was raised that the lake might leak out through seams and crevices. "The Sooner the Better.” "If these things are liable to occur the sooner the belter, if the official Opening Of the 'anal is to occur Jan uary J. 1915; for if water were not admitted this fall, but were deferred until May 1, 1914, the full height could not he reached until October. 1914. leaving little time for the determine- j lion of these questions These con siderations led to the conclusion that the water should be turned into the cut at the earliest date practicable for getting the dredges to work rn the slides. "The present plans, therefore, nre based upon the blowing up of Gam boa Dike on October 10, its removal by dredges Immediately thereafter. | the transfer of two suction dredges and a ladder dredge to the Cucaraclta slide, the smaller dipper dredges io work on the other slides until the full width of the channel is attained, and the passage of vessels through the carol as soon a channels of full deptb and of sail, "lent width have been secured.

In great detail Colonel Goethals tells of the engineers’ work during the last year, and with particular sat isfaction it is reported that the mech anism of the vast locks and dams was tested with success. The gates at Gatun w ere-sw ung in one minute am! 51 seconds for each leaf The heavy iron chains which are depended upon to prevent an unruly vessel from crashing into th** locks were raised and lowered in ample time to meet any emergency.

BOSTON, Nov. 29.—Walter Scott Hughes, Institute of Technology, class of 1913—extended—is some parasangs in advance of the unknown donor of the $1,000,000 check, as a man of mystery, according to fel low-students at Tech. For they say Hughes Is: “The pride of Tech.” A grind. A dreamer. A hater of the conventions as re gards dress. A millionaire, yet most democratic. And last, but not least, a leader in the army trying to solve the high cost of living. Hughes, who is a resident of Mil- I ton, is the son of the late William | Hastings Hughes, for years a wealthy importer of wines. He is 26, was graduated from Milton Academy, and later spent three years at Williams College. On the roof of the Walker Build ing at Tech, a reporter found Hughes trying to extract a high-class sugar from a carbon monoxide or sopie oth er solution. Nearly six feet tall, gaunt of frame, his upper lip hid den by a drooping moustache, Hughes looks older than the average Tech man. Tie Was Askew. Hughes' tie was askew as he worked. His soft collar was open nt the throat, and the ancient shoes that covered his feet w-ere almost separated from the heels. Although wealthy in his own name and heir to an estate estimated at a j million, Hughes is always striving to lower the cost of living. Daily, in stead of helping to pay the expense of the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Hughes hikes to his home in Milton, "it’s good exercl.se.” he said, "and it is saving.

He bought a .supply of tins, cups and cooking utensils, deter mined. while in Boston, to cook his own meals. Saves Five Cents. Disdaining a wrapper over them he tied them together on a string, sling ing them over his shoulder, walked to his Marlboro street room, thereby saving, as he afterwards said, five cents. "I’m not much of a fellow for mix ing up,” he said. '"I don’t belong to the clubs, and about the only fellows I kndw here are those who work next to me and my old roommate." Hughes cares little for social af- r- I don’t bunny hug or tiirU- trot or tango, either,” he saldJ "I’m not opposed to them, although it makes i difference who is dlmclng them and why. It’s no wojf.se for some to dance them than it! is for others to waltz. As for myfelf. I’d rather enjoy a good sleep or ;a long walk than attend a social.” On the subject of marriage flughes has his own views. "I suppse I’ll get married some day or oth*r,” he said, "but I have not picked ©ut the young woman yet.” According to Hughes, his opinion of marriage coincides with Robert Louis Stevenson’s that "marrige is like life in this—that it la a field of battle and not a bed of roses.” Turn the Baby's Tears to Laughter A Gentle Baby LaxativeWill Quickly Relieve the Usual Cause of the Trouble. * It is often difficult to tell just what is the matter with a crying, peevish baby or child too young to express its feelings in words, but as a general rule tpe mother will constipation, which has brought on a headache or nervousness.
