Battle With Slides
in Panama Canal Is
Graphically Described
This Is the battle with the slides—
the greatest problem of canal opera

the river mountain range still strives

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.
It is always to the interest of retailers to push the
goods advertised in their home newspapers—for these
are the goods their customers want to see.
As an object lesson the week of October 11-16 th
has been set aside by leading newspapers of the United
States and Canada as International Newspaper Win
dow Display Week.
During Next Week Merchants Are Requested to
Display in Their Windows, Standard Pro
ducts of National Distribution Ad

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.
If you would like to know all the
facts about the building and opera
tion of the great Isthmian waterway,
as well as the story in detail of the
working side of the entire federal
government, you should read the two

Canal" and "The American Govern
ment." both by Frederic J. Haskin.

Colonel Trexler Will
Honor First Defenders
Allentown, Pa., Oct. B.—At the din
ner given by Colonel Harry C. Trexler,
Quartermaster General of Pennsylva
nia, to Adjutant General Stewart and
other military officers who had come
on to participate in the parade at
South Bethlehem, regret was express
ed that Governor Brumbaugh had
found it necessary *to veto the bill
passed by the last Legislature, pro
viding SI6OO for a tablet in Allen
town In memory of the First Defend
ers.
General Stewart said to Colonel
Trexler: "If I were a man of your
standing, I should waste no time in
regrets, but should out of my own
means erect a suitable memorial that,
should be a perpetual credit to the
brave men who went forth Instantan
eously to save their country from dis
ruption."
Colonel Trexler immediately an
( nounced that he would erect a tablet
and have It ready for dedication April
18 next, the 55th anniversary of the
arrival of the First Defenders in
• Washington.
, Colonel Trexler will invite the sur
vivors of the 350 First Defenders,
about 50, to be his guests on that oc
casion and will pay all their traveling
. expenses. The dedicatory address will i
I be made by Adjutant General Stewart. J

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.

of the largest and moat delightful c
social events In this locality was the 8
housewarmlng, last evening.. given by
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob M. Sheely, near R
Shiremanstown. For more than 100 a
years this farm lias been in the pos- C
session of the Sheely family, passing n
from one generation to another. About
one year ago lire destroyed all the
buildings, and the scene of last even- ®
lng's gathering was the recently com- "
pleted home. To celebrate. the occa- j
sion, about 200 guests made merry, and u
brought beautiful gifts to help replace ,
what the lire destroyed. The large
porch was gay with Japanese lanterns e
and brilliant autumn foliage, golden _
rod and cosmos decorated the interior.
After viewing the spacious new
house, the guests enjoyed cards and
social chat. Refreshments were
ed to the company, among whom were
guests from Columbia, Middletown,
Harrisburg, Carlisle, New Cumber
land, Lemoyne, Mechanicsburg, Lis- -
burn, Camp Hill, Shiremanstown and
the surrounding country.

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.
