Students at ‘‘Walk-Around" Ex
hibit Last.Word in Fashion.
Cost Two to Ten Dollars.
NEW YORK. I><\ The Wmh- 1
ington Irving High School girls gave
their annual fall fashion walk-around
in the big mblv hall of ihe sch >oi i
yesterday morning, and If any spec
tator thought there was anything in
the way of late models absent—well,
then there was something the matter
with her eyes.
Miss Jeanne Causeret was made- j
moiselle in charge of the demonstra
tion, but that does not mean that
there was anything French about the
exhibition, for all the little fro;«s ■
were made in the school, every om
of them. The highest cost price cov
ering everything in any gown was $10,
end the prices ranged down as low
ms $2.
Girls Show Skill.
The upper class girls were showing
the first-year students what a good |
thing it was to make one’s own
gowns That is the real purpose of
the walk-around. The Washington
Irving is such a big school—eleven
floors of it and hundreds of girl, and
the Washington Irving right hand .
does not always know’ what its l.»f:
'hand is doing. And making gowns is ■
an important item in these days of the i
high cost if living, so after the walk-
around there is always a big influx
of new’ girls In the dressmaking de- i
partment. and a run on small pat
terns of dress goods In the shops.
Many Suits Shown.
The admiring spectators yesterday
saw minaret gowns, three-tier and
draped skirts. panniers, chiffon
sleeves, net blouses, wide Spanish
girdles, besides Peter Thompson subs,
suits with middy blouses, and "Just
plain little school suits.”

farmhand, in filing suit for alleged
alienation of his wife's affections.

Canal Makes It Money Lender, Not Borrower r
This, tli<‘ lat. st photograph from the Canal Zone, was taken with a eamera turned to the southward from Forebay. It shows
one of the gate s which guard the approaeh to the celebrated looks at Gatlin. In ease of accident a second gate to the same lock is pro
vided. A heavy fi nder chain is also placed in the channel some distance from the gate. If the vessel is proceeding at proper speed
this chain falls to the bottom, out of the way. But if the craft is moving too rapidly the chain remains stretched across the channel.
The vessel strikes it and is gradually brought to a stop.

The country, vastly rich in re

Panama has no bonded debt upon

River to the Atlantic, traversing ex

will take when the canal Is finished.
Panama was far from being a quiet
place. Whenever the ships came in
from Peru laden with gold and Jewels
there usually was a fight for some
part of it.
Pirates and contrabandists har
assed the isthmus, hut the city of
Panama grew, and before 1550 the
place had some 3,000 Inhabitants, with
about as many more In the outJposts,
and a cathedral had been built.
Harried by Pirates.
This period saw’ the rise and de
cline of Panama. Spain's own deca
dence played a great part in the faB,
as did tile attacks of the English and
French on the trade of the Indies and
the inability of Panama to develop

amu is the only nation collecting in- °' vn resources as the transisth-

In 1671 the old city of Panama was
destroyed and a few’ yea’s later the
present city, a few miles away, was
founded in what was believed to be a
safer place. To shut out the pirates
There 1* a fine field “for im<1 the enew es of Spain a sea wall
was built around the new 'town in
1674, and it was successful.
The King’s Jest.
This wall, which is still standing,
cost so much money that the King of
Spain said that he did not under
stand why he could not see It by sim
ply looking to the west out of the
windows of his palace. Actually the
wall is about 30 feet high and of the
nowhere in the country are there
enough unemployed laborers to sup
ply the demand for workers, and the
large mining, agricultural and timber
interests arc forced to import labor to
operate thbir plants.
The country is rich in gold and
hardwoods
agriculture and cattle raising. The
United States has made the cities
clean an i healthy, ami the Interior
of the country always was so. And
so, after hundreds of years of strife,
Panama has come into its own.
Famed for Its Fish.
The waters of the Pacific Ocean
at Panama abound in splendid fish,
and there is a tradition that the name
Panama was the old Indian word for
“place of abundance of fishes.” At
all events, after the execution of Bal
boa in 1519, the Spaniards began to
explore the Pacile Coast and found
a small fishing village called Pan
ama. and on August 15. 1519, Gover
nor Pedrarias announced that the
place would be the site of his future
capital, and established the first per
manent settlement in the New World.
Two years later a royal decree made
Panama a city, and it became the seat
of a bishop.
For 30 years expeditions were sent
out from Panama in search of gold. |
and from here, in 1524, were started j
the voyages of Piz&rro and Almagro. i
which ended in the discovery of Peru
and the vast wealth of that country. J
On April 3, 1527. an expedition went

The milestones in Panama, after
the independence from Spain in 1821,
are the completion of the Panama
Railroad (1855) and the start of the
construction of the Panama Canal, in
1881. The first 70 years after the new’
town was built were quiet ones,
marked by good government, but still
years in which Panama was prostrate,
because of the abandonment of the
trade route. Then came 90 years ot
internal strife, and Anally, on Novem
ber 28, 1821, came the declaration of
independence from Spain.
Panama was the last of the South
American colonies to declare inde
pendence. The social movement, in I wives.
Europe epitomized by the French j
revolution, made headway on the |
Isthmus slowly. When the other col-'
onles were deserting Spain Panama
remained loyal, the loyalty being
based largely on incompetence. The
lack of ethic unity on the Isthmus, of
economic independence, distrust of
Bogota, with whom her revolutionary
destinies must be placed, and the
presence of strong garrisons, all had
an influence on that loyalty, and the
home Government in 1814 conferred
upon the Panamanian cities the title
of ’Vaithful.” t I
Colombia Rule Unhappy.
Until February 8, 1822, it was an
independent State.* Then it became
the Department of the. Isthmus of the j
new Republic of Colombia, and its j
troubles, far from being over, contin
ued almost w ithout check until 1903,
wAien the independence from Coionw-
bia was effected..
The period of Colombian rule was
one ' of strife, . for when Colombia
happened to furnish a capable and
kindly’ Governor, the Panamanians
themselves waged an internal row.
In 1903 the United States attempt
ed to deal with Colombia in an effort
to build the Panama (’anal. In the
fall of that year it became apparent
that the government at Bogota, the
capital of Colombia, would not ratify
the treaty allowing the United States
to construct the waterway. Then fol
lowed the bloodless revolution of No
vember, 1903, when, with the assist
ance of the United States, Panama
became independent of Colombia.
Treaty Ends Trouble.
On February 26. 1904, Panama
signed a treaty with the United
States which practically ended its
troubles for all time, for then it be
came a protectorate of the United
Stages, which since then has assisted
largely !n choosing its Presidents,
cleaned up its cities, and contracted
to pay it enough money to make it
the most independent country, finan
cially. in the world.

As a test of speed climbing, the
flying boat was obliged to attain an
altitude of 1,500 in less than fifteen
minutes. This was accomplished
easily.
On the speed range test a maxi
mum of more than 60 miles per hour
was shown as an average with and
against the wind and a slow speed
of just over 40 miles per hour. All
of the tests were made with a use
ful load of 600 pounds.
The machine itself shows marked
improvement in minor details, ma
hogany being used exclusively in the
planking of the hull and the lining
of the double cockpit. Seating ar
rangements are for four persons, and
the boat rose easily from the water
with that number aboard.
The requirements demanded that
the machine rise from the water with
in 1,200 feet from the starting point.
Just now r the largest fleet of flying
boats ever turned out in this country
is under construction at the Curtiss
plant here. There are flying boats
for England, France, Germany, Ita^y,
Russia and the United States.
Of these more than 30 are design
ed for European Governments and
but three for the United States Gov
ernment.
Here are some of the popular ex
pressions which are held up as “hor-
;iblc- examples” by exponents of pure
English:
“Whom are you?"
“He didn’t show un. ’
"I’m going to take up.**
“That’s going some.”
"It's all the father I got."
“She’s real good looking.”
“I made a date.”
“This here affair.”
“I’m glad that’s over with.”
“You’ve got me going.”
“I’m off of that.”
Professor Fred N. Scott, of the
University of Michigan, who submit
ted a list of "horrible examples” now
current in the vernacular, was the
speaker who declared the lingual in
fluence of the Bible was being super
seded by that of the newspapers.
"That the daily newspaper is the
most powerful and the most per
suasive influence of our day and na
tion will, I think, be conceded,” said
Professor Scott. “It is not going V>o
far to say that the aims and ambitions
and modes of thought and expression
of the younger generation are largely
molded by its contents.

pete with It."
