1735,182 TOLLS
FROM TOE CANAL
Receipts From Opening on
August 15th to November Ist.
Large Increase for October
Although Impediments.
Washington.—Tolls amounting to
$7*5.1*2 war* collected from vessels
using the Panama Canal between Au
gust 15th amt November Ist Before
the canal was opened to merchant'
ships. SII.SIO had been collected on
barge traffic, making the gross In
come to November Ist total $7411,7792,
October traffic showed a gain of $107.-
?SS or 40 per cent over September
Forty five vessels passed through
southbound and forty northbound last
month paying $377,000.
Traffic this month has been Imped
ed by further activity of the new Cnt
ebt i slide which began October Slat
Ttaffic was suspended until Novem
ber 4th.
A SPECIOUS PLEA.
Your honor, if we can show that
serious errors were made in the choos
ing of the Jury would you grant us
a new trial?"
That depends What serious errors
were made""
There were IS of them. We thought
we were selecting men who would ac
quit our citem,"—LouisviU* Courier
Journal. _
Describing the demolition of Gam
boa Dike as one of the. final steps in
the canal's completion, the report re
lates that “with the exception of a
small pocket slide in the vicinity of
Cascades, the admission of water to
the Cut has thus far had no bad ef
fects; nor has there been any percep
tible tendency for the presence of
to produce slides"
Giant Locks.
The canal's giant locks and dams
staunchly withstood the earthquake
shocks which were more violent and
numerous during the last year than In
any since American occupation Eighty
seven distinct shocks were recorded at
Ancon.
"F’ructieally all the shocks," the re
port Mated, “seemed to originate in
the vlcinltj of the lower coast of Dos
Hantos Province, approximately 115
n lies southwest of Anon. The most
violent shocks occurred October 2, 1913,
and May 28. 1914.
The shock of May 28th resulted in
slight damage to the new administra
tion building then In course of erec
tion at Ralboa Heights, but with this
excepiion tpp canal works suffered no
damage from these shocks."
The Date Set.
As the construction of the canal
proceeded to the point where a date
was set for the admission of the first
ship the population of the zone Rtead
lb decreased On .Tune 30. 1914, the
force employed on the canal was 29,-
67.3. compared with 43,350 at the close
of the previous fiscal year "Accom
panying the decrease." the report
states, "there was a large emigration
from the isthmus, and for the first
time since the work was started there
was an excess of departures over ar
rivals of about 15.000."
Inasmuch as the canal was nos open
ed to traffic until August 15th. the re
port does not tell of the passage of
the first merchant ships or of the fi
nancial aspects of operation.

What is Advertising?
t
Creating Human Activity
“ADVERTISING is like the railroad, the
trolley, the telephone, the newspaper, the
school—a creator of human activity. Like all
of these, it is a force for the wider and quicker
dissemination of information. It brings with
in our ken things that we never knew existed,
or never thought we wanted. It teaches us to
want things a little beyond our grasp and to
work a little harder in order to get them. It is
like the rifle that the modern Tom Sawyer
saw in the window. He had intended to loaf all
summer, but he wanted that rifle. In order to
get it he had to have money. To get money he
went out and painted fences and ran errands
and mowed lawns. The knowledge that there
was a rifle that he could have if he worked for
it made him a producer instead of a depend
ent.
The Public Service
*
If we believe in a constantly advancing
civilization, if we believe that people ought to
keep on trying to live a little better and have
a little more comfort, a little more conve
nience and a little more ambition—if our phil
osophy includes these tenets, then we must be
lieve that whatever shows people the way and
rouses their ambition to possess—and to pro
duce in order to possess—is a public service.
It is upon that basis that we declare advertis
ing to be, not primarily a weapon of competi
tion, but primarily a means of constructive
public service.”
The Curtis Publishing Company, Independ
ence Square, Philadelphia.
