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.” GONE WITH A RICHER MAN.

It is the only nation which receives interest on money it has loaned instead of paying interest I on funds borrowed. The country, vastly rich in re sources of mines, fields and sea. has come into its own—and all because of the canal. Panama has no bonded debt upon which to pay Interest. It has invested in gilt-edge mortgages in the United I States $6,000,000, bringing in an in come yearly of about 4 1-2 per cent. There is $300,000 on deposit to guar antee the parity of Its currency, and. after this year, the*United States will pay a perpetual yearly,* rental of $230,000 for the canal.

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 available for improvements, and Pan- amu is the only nation collecting in- °' vn resources as the transisth- terest on its own money instead of m * an trade decreased. ■ But the pi rates and buccaneers did'more tham anything else to wreck the country.

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 same width, earth. 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.

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.
