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."

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. SLAUGHTERING AGAIN.

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.
