Cracking at the top of Culebra Mountain, great slides of mixed earth and rock come slipping Starting "Good Times" On Its Merry Journey Every new sale made hv the merchants of this city is a move towards better times. Each sale, small in itself, multiplies with the in creasing business in other cities and starts factory wheels going. More people are employed, more raw material is needed, more money rushes for investment, and be fore anyone knows how or why it happened we are all busy and happy. Newspaper Window Display Week will help pros perity's wheels to turn. It will increase the sales of the stores. It will induce manufacturers to do more news paper advertising and make still more business. Our merchants are interested, for they naturally want this newspaper to carry more national advertis ing that keeps them busy.

FRIDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 8, 1915. and crawling down the mountainside and into the water, thrusting a great toe of mud across the bottom, block | ing the channel for all but the small l est ships. The material is dug out by ladder and dipper dredges, sucked out . by suction dredges, carried miles away and dropped into Gatun L,ake. Then another mountainslide gives way, s and tumbling downward into the big 3 ditch, and the work begins all over 3 again. 3 Fighting the slides at Culebra cut r is the most discouraging, the most 'tremendous and the most incessant engineering task in the world. It costs Uncle Sam $12,000 a day to keep a thirty-foot channel open through the slides. For twenty-two hours a day the snorting, laboring dredges crowd into the cut, digging out thou sands of cubic feet of mud and broken rock. Then for two hours, if it is I possible, the cut is flung open and J the commerce of the world sails through in an impressive procession. As soon as the last vessel has passed the last of the slides, the dredges are ™"* e ? ü back ,nto placo and the race Tilth the restless, encroaching: moun tain begins all over again. Only on© thing can be said in favor of the slides—they hav6 never all been fully active at once. When Cucara cha went to sleep the two Culebra i slides suddenly came to life and cas caded tons of material into the canal from either side. Cucaracha has lain now for many months, but both of the Culebra slides are still active.

J , , —s TRAVELETTE By NIKSAH PAPEETE \ Lost in the vast expanse of the 1 South Pacific is Papeete, capital of an : isle of enchantment stranded there to 1 i mark the crossroads of a trackless sea. The red tile roofs of Papeete peep out from among the verdure of ' Tahiti, largest of the islands of the 1 society group. All world travelers 1 talk of Tahiti although it might be i put in the vest pocket of an Amer- ' lean county or its population of 10,- ' 000 be lost in many a suburb the j name of which is only locally known. ] Papeete, the home of dolorous ease, . the native land of the people who 1 dance, the garden where fruit Is al- 1 ways ripe, the bouquet which re- ] plenlshes Itself, is a province of ] France. The artistic temperament of i the Frenchman refused to allow him l 1 to plant here anything that was out 1 ■ of harmony. So the palace of the . governor is as much Tahitin aa French, the barracks of its army post are hidden among tropical foliage, the quaint little villas that have been j built on its hillsides are overgrown with vines of brilliant flowers, the ] palace where dwells Prince Hinoe— -1 provided for him as the representa- l tive of the last reigning house by the ' , X<"rench government which pays him J a salary —all are in harmony with the ' old Tahiti. i Nowhere in the south seas Is any thing more subtle and alluring and fascinating than Tahiti. This slender Island boasts a volcano that rises 8,- 000 feet into the air and is belted with many classes of growth, gives birth to a thousand streams, tucks away a hundred lakes. The natives speak the softest dia lect In all Oceana. They 101 l their lives away beneath their banana ■ trees, grow round and sleek and shapely as might so many seals about I a rookery. There Is no man nor wo man in the world more amiable and happy and irresponsible than the Ta i hitln. They may not be hurried nor • induced to fetch and carry. They . laugh and trifle and let the traveler wait. There are men among them of • magnificent stature and the women have the physiques of bronzed Ve nuses and the mild, lustrous eyes of enchantresses. The Panama Canal promises to in troduce Papeete and Tahiti to many times the number of travelers that have heretofore known them for the trade routes are to be directed past that haven.

Safe Home Treatment For Objectionable Hairs (Boudoir Secrets) The electric needle is not required for the removal of hair or fuzz, for with the use of plain delatone the most stubborn growth can be quickly banished. A paste is made with water and a little of the powder, then spread over the hairy surface. In about 2 minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple treatment not only removes the hair, but leaves tli# skin free from blemish. Be sure you get genuine delatone.—Advertisement. 17
