see," said the Stenographer,
"that the artistic sense of my sex has
at last asserted Itself. Heretofore
men have been the real Beauty E»v-
Brs, and have refused to pay any at
tention to a girl unless she was long
on pulchritude, whereas women were
tickled to death to receive attentions
from a man, no matter what sort
of a looker he was.
"And the loss of her complexion
and figure has been held to he suffi
cient to justify a man in side-stepping
his wife, while a woman was ex
pected to be faithful to her husband
erven if he did get to he bald-headed
and weigh a ton. But all that's go
ing to be changed, for the artistic
Bide of women natures has been cul
tivated and they are going in for
beauty, too. In proof whereof is the
case reported from California by the
newspapers, in which a girl broke
off her engagement Ispcause her
■weetheart fattaned up."
"With the matrimonial market in
the depressed condition It is now, it's

bay-window style of architecture."
"That's the way women used to
look at the matter," agreed the
Stenographer; "They've been more
liberal about the living picture busi
ness than men ,have. If a man was
agreeable and intelligent, we haven't
turned him down on his personal ap
pearance. as men do a woman.
"Just think. If a fat. puffy, red
faced woman, with no eyebrows and
b bald spot the size of a soup plate on
top of her head should go to a ball.
Bhe would paper the wall for a thou
sand years before any man ever ask
fcd her to dance, and if any hostess
forced a gentleman to engage in a
conversation with her. he would do
It with the air of an Early Christian
martyr.
"But you can see women everv dav
gurgling with delight over the "com
panionship of such a looking man.
The lack of hair doesn't bar a man
from society, but the reputation of
having a bald spot would be a bigger
handicap for a woman than the worst
asperations on her character. If a
man has gray matter inside of his
skull, what he has on the outside
doesn'* count. But if a -woman lacks
the looks, she might have all the vir

would ever get near enough to her to
find it out."

24 to 36 waist.
Here is a n<*v six gored skirt. It !•
perfectly smooth over the hips and
flares with abundance and grace about
the ankles. It is an excellent model
for large figures as well as for slight ones.
It is good for the street and also for
the house and it can be utilized for wool
suitings and for silk fabrics, and, it shows,
in fact a thoroughly useful and satis
factory design. It is so simple that it
can be made without the least little
bit of difficulty too and the lower edge
can be underfaced, as it is here, or
banded or finished in any way that may
please the individual. There are six
?;ores and each gore is arranged to
orm a box-plait. The closing may be
made at the left of the front «r at the
left of the back: the finish, either at the
raised or at the natural waist line.
For the medium size will be needed
7r£ yds. of material 27 in. wide, 6*4 yds.
36, 4 yds. 44, yds. 54 if material has
figure or nap; for plain material without
up and down will be needed SJ-4 yds. 36

THE PANAMA
CANAL AT WORK
By Frederic J. Haskin
rContinued from Editorial Page.]
canal, by which the water is raised
and lowered in each stase, are repre
sented upon the control board by little
steel boxes eight or ten feet high, set
with panes of glass. There Is a light
back of these miniature windows and
a curtain that moves up and down as
the culvert opens and shuts. This cur
tain is actuated by an electric current
generated by the culvert valves in the
same way as the miniature gates. Thus
the width of lighted glass shown by
each of these culvert gates indicates
exactly how wide open the culvert
valve is and how much water is going
through.
An upright gauge with a moving
needle always shows the exact depth
of the water in each lock. There is
also an indicator designed to show
the position of the forcing miter,
which is intended to lock the great
gates when closed. It has never been
found necessary to use this, however,
as the pressure of water, forcing the
flat surfaces of the gates together,
prevents the escape of a single drop.
Anyone who has watched the lock
gates at work must be fully convinced
that they are capable of taking care of
any emergency. In case, however, that
they should fail, there is a great emer
gency gate at each end which may be
operated from the control board just
as the others are. This emergency
gate consists in a system of steel leaves
hung in a frame, which may be quickly
swung across the mouth of the lock
and dropped into position. At Gatun
locks, recently, these emergency gates
were swung into position and allowed
to hold the head of water, while the
regular gates were being cleaned and
repainted. But there has never been
any opportunity to use them in the
prevention of an accident.
The greatest apparent danger in the
operation of the canal is that the gates
might be opened in the wrong se
quence and a rush of water started
which might damage both the locks
and ships passing through. This is
prevented by an elaborate system of
Interlocking bars which makes it im
possible to work the gates and culverts
except in a predetermined sequence.
There ate about two and a fourth
Miles of these interlocking bars. After
listening to a description of the com
plicated way in which they operate
the layman Is entirely willing to trust
without understanding them.
The most impressive ihing about
passing through the ioeks is the ease
with which the thing is accomplished.
There is no fuss nor excitement. Very
gently the ocean steamer slides behind
FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Father Tells How Boy Was Re
stored to Health and Strength.
We have alwavs told the people of
llarrisburg that Vinol is a wonderful
body builder for ailing children. Here
is more proof of the fact:
.1. L. Albury of Miami, Flo., says:
—"Our little boy was puny and cross
from the time he was born, and we
hardly knew how to handle him.
When he was three years old he was
weak and so cross we could hardly live
with him, and we could not get him
to cat anything. A friend asked us to
try Vinol. We did so and you should
see the change It has made in him. He
Is now a good-natured, healthy young
ster, ready to eat at any time, and we
cannot praise Vinol enough."
Vinol is especially efficient in build
in up puny, weak, ailing children,
because of the real cod liver extrac
tives, peptonate of iron and beef pep
tone which It contains, and as it is
without oil or grease children love to
take it.

the concrete walls, set with giant
lampposts. Lines are thrown out fore
and aft, caught by gangs of blacks,
and the connections with the electrical
towing engines are made. Then, 1
islowly and majestically, the great iron 1
gates swing in behind the ship, there (
is a low rumble of rushing water which
becomes louder as- the surface breaks
into foam and bubbles. Almost im- l
perceptibly, yet swiftly, the ship is ,
lifted. Then the gates before it swing
open, the great chain drops and the 1
first step is accomplished. '
Tn addition to the operator in the
control house and the blacks who
manage the lines, only one other man :
is necessary to the operation of the
locks. He walks along beside the ship j
with a detachable telephone, which he 1
occasionally connects at a lamppost,
and communicates to the control house
the exact position of the ship. This. ;
of course, is shown by the control 1
board, too. and the check is merely a
provision for safety. 1
The power which operates the locks, 1
lighfs the Canal Zone and does all of 11
its other electrical -work is generated J
from the head of water formed by |
Gatun dam, which holds the Chagres | <
river in check and creates Gatun Lake, 1
the greatest artificial body of water i
in the world.
Gatun Dam
Gatun dam is one of the greatest, !
and perhaps the least impressive, en- I
gi'r.eering feats of the canal. In ap- j <
rearance it is a low, semicircular hill, <
covered with grass. No one would ]
ever suspect tho mighty concrete, i
structure that is sheathed in the j
smooth, well-kept turf which covers il
every inch of the dam, except, of!;
course, the spillway. This great steel j
waterfall is arranged in a number of I
gates, and when all of them are open
a splendid torrent of water, whipped j
into pure foam, races through and i
plunges into the bed of the Chagres |
river. The mist from this artificial
cataract flings a hundred feet into the I
air and is visible for miles across the I
lake.
A few hundred feet below the spill
way, at the foot, of 'he giant • dam, |
stands Gatun power house. Here the I
rushing torrent of the Chagres s'rlkes
the turbines of the great generators
through a penstock that is 5 feet 3
inches in diameter, developing 3,600
horsepower of electricity.
Should these great generators, for
any reason, quit working, the canal
would not be out of commission for a
moment. A steam generator plant is
maintained at Miraflores for just this
emergency. There will never be any
lack of power on the Canal Zone. i

WHEN YOU MOVE
.Moving day has been, generally
speaking, transferred from May 1 to
October 1, and thousands of families
the country over are now facing that
ordeal. Moving is certainly a trial, but
like many other trials it can be made
to yield good fruits if approached in
the right spirit. For one thing it gives
one a chance to overhaul one's posses
sions and get rid of useless things.
Take the kitchen, for example.
Look over the cooking utensils and
see how many have been kept that
have long outlived their usefulness,
and are merely taking up room.
Never move trash. If possihle take
the occasion of moving to start with
a consistent outfit. Say you decide on
enameled ware, which is inexpensive
but of almost unlimited usefulness.
Get a set of saucepans, a couple of
pitchers, a water pail, a small frying
pan and all the etceteras you can af
ford.
In the same way do not move worn
out or half worn-out carpets. Collect
them together and send to one of the
many places that make old carpets into
new rugs. These wear very well. It
lakes four yards of old carpet to make
one yard of new rug.
Don't move a lot of old magazines]
on the theory that you will look them j
over "some day." You never will, and j
it is much better to send them to a hos.-
uitai or to the Salvation Army at once.
Have all bedding cleaned before mov- |
ing. When lookinir it over remember j
your neighbors and the cold weather '
that so soon will be upon us, and see j
if it would not be better to hand on a j
worn but still warm quilt, rather than !
pack it away in the new quarters as |
it has been packed away in the old. |
As to the inevitable accumulation of I
undesirable bric-a-brac only one bit of'
advice—harden your heart and don't j
move it.
POSLAM SOOTHES j
AND HEALS MANY i
SKIN TROUBLES
I By all means try Poslam. If you need !
I any remedy to better your skin's con-,
| dition.
It merits use whenever the skin is |
disordered, for its healing powers are |
unusually efficacious. Relief is quick, i
Itchiiig: is allayed. Inflamed skin is '
soothed. Improvement may be noted !
dally. Poslam for the treatment of i
Eczema, Acne, Itch and stubborn skin
affections, is a most helpful healing: I
agent: reduces pimples, rashes, undue j
redness, relieves tired, chafing feet.
As to soaps for the skin—lf ordinary j
kinds irritate, try Poslam Soap, medi- j
cated with Poslam. 1

THI'S FAR AND XO FARTHER
The oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerian, Baby
lonian (or Accadian) and the Egyp
tian. The earliest known inscriptions
belong to about the fifth millennium
B. C., but it is reasonable to assume
that these were antedated by many
different languages which had a great
antiquity. The script of the Sumerian.
Babylonian (or Accadian) and Assy
rian was the cuneiform. Chaldean, the
language used generally as the diplo
matic language aboutthe time of Bel
shazzar, is what we now know as the
Aramaic language. Archeology has
thrown no light on the subject of the
confusion of tongues. Abraham very
probably spoke the Aramaic, the lan
guage of Aram. In Canaan his de
scendants apparently used the lan
guage fatniliar to them, but archeol
ogy has thrown no light upon the sub
ject. Nothing has been discovered i
which can be determined as antedilu
\ian. Babylonian legends mention
several cities as existing before the
flood, and Arabic tradition says Haran
was the first city that was rebuilt after
the deluge, but archeology has offered
no certain data as yet on the subject.
