Suspension of Chicago Gas Supply by
Walkout Threatened.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, March 16.—Union leaders
met with officials of the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company today in a
final effort to prevent a strike of 2,500
members of the gas workers’ union, set
for 5 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Cut-
ting off Chicago’s gas supply would
‘cause the suspension of a number of
industries and leave more than 500,000
homes without gas for cooking and
lighting, according- to company offi-
cials.
Members of the union are demanding
a twenty per cent wage increase, dating
from December 1.

Panama—We are reverting to pre-
war conditions. Proof of this is the re-
appearance of the tourists. They are
abroad in the world. On a trip to Pan-
ama a year ago, shortly after the arm-
istice, tourists were not in evidence. In
this trip a large part of the passenger
list from New Orleans and Havana was
tourist.
It is good they should be here. They
give a tang to the atmosphere that the
unemotional Southerner’s vision fails to
impart. '
They look at things gaily. Many find
an interest in everything, especially
those from the Western states. Their .

petitor with our own Pacific Mail

Posibly the English lines intend to
reach out for the west coast trade of
both the north and south continents, of
which the Hamburg-American line had
so large a share for years.
There is also more competition in the
selling of goods.
This all means that we will have to
fight for the Latin-American trade on
our merits, but it is also a strong in-
dication that even in the present dis-
turbed financial condition of Europe
her most progressive people are al-
ready asserting themselves with a vigor
that general opinion might not think
possible.
PANAMA'S VAST TIMBERLANDS
Panama’s geographical position gave
it a great advantage during the war. It
is at the gateway, or is the gateway, to
two continents. The markets of Europe
were closed for five years and ours to
an extent not nearly so active after we
entered the war. Consequently the busi-
ness of Panama was helped. This has
now stopped and it is back to its nor-
mal state. This is the opinion of some
of its leading merchants with whom I
have been talking.
There is at the present time consider-
able inquiry from the United States re-
garding new enterprises. Much of this
inquiry concerns itself with timber pos-
sibilities which in the Republic of Pan-
ama are very valuable and extensive.
I have been talking to the represen-
tative of a western concern that holds a
concession to a timber tract of one hun-
dred and fifty thousand acres, which
they say working at full capacity would
take them sixty years to cut.
The scarcity of reserve timber in our
own country is driving enterprise down
here to lands (rich in produce) that
have been scarcely touched.
The concern I have referred to antici-
pates an initial investment of 3 million
dollars and will bring skilled American
workmen and their families with them

Not in three years, Senator Smoot
thought. Only two, Senator Lodge cor-
rected. The Americans may have had
an engineer there, but no Mexican en-
gineer has participated. /
SALARIES AMOUNT TO $20,000 A
YEAR.
“They may have been keeping up
some surveys,” he added, “but this
$20,000 will pay all the salaries—and
that is the principal thing.”
Senator Smoot elaborated. “I think
about the only three necessary things
to accomplish with this appropriation,”
he explained, “are that the commission,
first shall receive their checks; second,
indorse the checks, and third, spend the
money.” * (
If it weren’t for the treaty with Mex-
ico, Senator Lodge assured, the com-
mission long ago would have been
abolished. As it is, the sinecure must
have the heart to press his amendment
for $15,000 more. The appropriation
stands at $20,000—to pay the salaries.

You Can Stop That Cough.
Do not imagine that because you
have tried various remedies without
any permanent benefit that your cough
is incurable. Bear in mind that Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy has cured oth-
ers, lots of them, why not you. Read
what Mrs. J. L. Jones, New Kensington,
Pa., says of this remedy. “About a year
ago I contracted a severe cold that set-
tled on my lungs and caused a terrible
dry hacking cough that alarmed as well
as annoyed me. Upon advice of a drug-
gist I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and it relieved me al-
most immediately.”
and imaginary fights with strange
beasts, and there was always a small
boy in the stories—I suspect it was
Theodore himself—who understood the
language of the animals and would
translate their opinions of cakes and
the like to us.”
Forests and jungles and beasts, these
were the things that interested the sick
boy most, said Mrs. Robinson, and on
days when he was able to be about the
house he carried under one arm Stan-
ley’s books on Africa and under .the
other Wood’s Natural History. One day
in the book on nature Theodore dis-
covered an explanatory note which, as
it dealt with.a subject that preceded it,
was headed “The Foregoing Ants.” That
was enough for Theodore, for the
young man who later was to find the
volatile.
The man from Boston is always cour-
teous, but so reserved. Not so, with the
abounding man from Kansas.
He says: “Fine evening, sir,” as if
he really believed it. I agreed with
him. There was no room for argumnet
that night. '
Then next I must know he was from
Kansas.
THE KANSAN’S PLAINT
I remembered, “Ah, the Sunflower
state."
He bowed low and replied lustily, I
thank you, sir, for this delicate compli-
ment to my state."
Why I should be thanked I did not
know, but it’s nice to get even thanks
once in a while. My new friend had
been making a canvass of the country,
from Kansas City to Florida, to learn
the sentiment regarding President Wil-
son.
He had discovered it was wholly an-
tagonistic.
He was especially indignant that the
president should have carried his state
by 40,000 in 1916, on the issue “He kept
us out of war.”
He had been a candidate for congress
that year, but the women had gone sol-
idly for the President and this Kansas
banker had to stay at home.
When our tourists get to the canal
zone they do exult. Justly so! It is not
so much the canal itself over which
they enthuse as the great organization
and plant that have been built around
it, the perfect sanitation, the well laid
out new cities which came into being
over night. The really fine buildings,
the pretty houses and grounds sur-
rounding them;
H. C. L. UNKNOWN THERE
I sometimes wonder whether our peo-
ple appreciate what we have on the
canal zone.
The wages of all government em-
ployees are higher than in the United
States. All mechanical crafts are paid
25 per cent in excess of the highest
unict wage scales at home. Employees
are provided with houses free of rent.
The houses are furnished with all fun-
damental household goods.
Light and heat for cooking’are fur-
nished free. The grounds around the
houses are cared for by government
employed gardeners and workers.
Commissioners sell at approximate
cost to all employees and their families.
If they used the government hotels
they get reduced rates. Goods are im-
ported here from Europe, duty free,
and sold at cost.
There is another very significant aft-
er-the-war development; that is, that
foreign shipping is resuming its ac-
tivities.

ings to South American Ports.

Washington-—Fixing certain portions
of the boundary between the United
States and Mexico appears to be a per-
fectly delightful, if somewhat expen-
sive, task.
The diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill, under consideration in the
senate, brought out the interesting
facts. The bills provided an appropria- >
tion of $20,000 for the Mexican bound-
ary commission, established under the
terms of a treaty with Mexico.
Senator McKellar of Tennessee
thought the appropriation ought to be
increased by $15,000, to cover the cost
of the “vast amount" of surveying and
other work that was being done.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts ex-
plained. “The commission has been at
work since 1893----”
Senator Smoot of Utah interrupted,
“That is to say,” he commented, “they
have been drawing salaries since that
time.” ‘
HAVEN’T WORKED FOR TWO YEARS
Senator Lodge acquiesced. “They ap-
pear to be engaged in an interminable
task,” he admitted, "beacuse, in the
valleys, which extend some 400 miles,
the river shifts continually and forms
what are called bancos. For instance,
the line as drawn throws certain ter-
ritory onto the American side of the
river, we will say; but, in the winter,
when the high water comes and the
river changes its course, it cuts through
American territory and puts it inside
‘IT don’t want ten minutes, Mr.
Chairman,’ he said. ‘I don’t want five
minutes. I just want to asked a ques-
tion. Mr. Chairman, if all “isms” are
fads and must be wiped out—how.about
patriotism?’ ”
Theodore Roosevelt won right there,
said his sister, and “there was a smile
on the face of the tiger.”
OVER OR THROUGH AN OBSTACLE.
Referring to his later life, the days
at Oyster Bay, Mrs. Robinson told of
the walks on which he used to dead the
children of the Roosevelt families on
Sunday afternoons. There was one rule
governing these tramps, she said, “these
obstacle walks, and' that was this:
Straight through or over, never around,
an obstacle.” It was over fences, walls,
through hedges and up hills. When one
of the small pedestrians lagged, the
colonel would turn and say, “don’t
flinch, don’t foul—come on, and hit the
line hard!"
Drawing to close, Mrs. Robinson came
to February, 1918, when the colonel lay
in Roosevelt hospital and the doctors
said he had twenty-four hours to live.
Mrs. Robinson told how she waited in
an anteroom until the colonel called for
her. The doctors said death was a. mat-
ter of time, she said, and the colonel’s
four sons were fighting abroad. She
went to the bedside and, leaning over,
placed her ear close to his mouth.
“ ‘Puss,’ he said, ‘I am glad that it is
not one of my boys, for they can die for
their country.'” .
work” performed by the boundary com-
mission was discussed. “To be frank,’
said the Massachusetts senator in
charge of the hill, "they are not doing
any work at all. They have had three
meetings in the course of a year, the
record of which cover nine type writ-
ten pages.”

River of Doubt. Never in all his
valiant researches in woods had he ever
come across the “Foregoing” species of
ants. °
It was a discovery!’ He must share it
with the household! So he carefully
wrote an “essay” on this particular
kind of an ant and invited everybody,
“from the cook to dad and mother,” up
to his room at 4:30 o’clock the next
afternoon. Theodore read his essay
. with a great deal of excitement, and
everybody agreed—they told him so—
that it was a most remarkable dis-
covery. But, as Mrs. Robinson pointed
out, the father and mother did. laugh a
great deal out in the hall later on.
HIS FIRST SPEECH.
Steadily “making his body,” Theo-
dore Roosevelt came to 18 years old
stronger and already with that vibrance
‘that marked the man as he is recalled
today. At 22 he entered the assembly
and shortly afterward he was invited
to New York to make his first speech
in his native city.
“It was ihs first speech, and as his
last message was on Americanism, so
was his first. He was invited to speak
before the Nineteenth Century club. Oh,
it was a high brow club, it was so
clever. The speaker of the night was
allowed so long for his talk. Then a
member of the club was designated to
rebut the speaker’s remarks. The club
member was allowed fifteen minutes
and then the speaker was allotted ten
minutes to rebut the rebuttal.
“Well, Theodore spoke on American-
ism. The applause was piteous. I dis-
like the club, the building and every-
thing, for I didn’t think they gave my
brother the right treatment. Then Dr.
St. Clair McKerway, a very brilliant
and witty speaker, got up and he just

Million of Arctic Animals May Be Con-
verted Into Meat Supply.
The Canadian government is con-
sidering the possibilities of developing
domesticated herds of caribou and
muskoxen in the unused Canadian
north. That in the Canadian arctic
I exists a new great empire there can be
no longer be any doubt—a vast rich
country supporting millions of wild
caribou and other animals, says the
Springfield Weely ‘Republican, and
Canada believes this territory can be
developed into one of the great meat
supply sources of the world. A plan
suggested is to purchase domesticated
herds of reindeer, which the United
States government has succeeded in
domesticating in Alaska, and drive
them into north Canada. The, wild
caribou could be assimilated into such
herds and in time be developed into
a valuable meat producing supply.
A further phase of the suggested
plan is that the Eskimoes, who are at
present, a non-productive race, could
be employed to herd the reindeers and
caribou.
From the New York Times.
Little known incidents in the life of
her brother, the late Theodore Roose-
velt, were told recently by Mrs. Doug-
las Robinson, who was Corine Roose-
velt, in an intimate talk in the West
Side. Y. M. C. A., in New York city.
“I Want to tell of the little personal
things and to speak of my brother as
my.loving, sunshiny brother and not as
the statesman,” she said as she delved
.into memories of hours in the little
house in West Twentieth street, where
Roosevelt’s boyhood was spent. One
recollection that stood out through the
haze of time was of “a little, solemn
boy, then about 6 pears old, who would
grav.ely survey visitors to our home
and, if he was favorably impressed,
would audibly suggest that the favored
ones be invited to sit in the ‘castle’
chair,” a great, carved chair which the
Roosevelt children, influenced by Theo-
dore, fancied, from its very size, must
have come from some queer old castle.
Mrs. Robinson described the poor
health of her brother. “He was puny
and pale and seldom well,” she said,
and she told how he came to make his
“first conquest.” Theodore was 9, and
his father, worried by his son’s failure
to grow robust, built a porch room—
open to, the air and fitted with exercise
apparatus—for him.
“ ‘My boy,’ my father said to Theo-
dore, ‘you’ve the brains, but without a
strong body that brain can’t do any-
thing. Here are the tools; now will you
build yourself?’
“My brother looked at the room, and
that determined look came into his eyes,
that look which evil politicians came to
know later, and he said: T will make
my body.’ ”
DISCOVERS A NE W SPECIES OF ANTS
“It was a long, slow process, how-
ever,-” said Mrs. Robinson, “and there
were many days when Theodore could
not’ leave his bed. At such times the
other children would gather around the
bed and Theodore would tell long
stories about jungles and hold mighty
