The only means of travel across the isthmus was
by the Panama Railroad, which more or less paralleled
the course of the canal, then under construction. An
observation car, open at the sides, gave us glimpses
of the locks at Gatun, the deep and sliding Culebra
‘Cut, and the foundations which were being laid at
iraflores. In between the tropic jungle reached forth
to the edge of the roadway with hungry hands.
Little native clearings flashed by,with thatched
huts and the usual cluster of native menage—naked
children, hogs wallowing in the doorway, circumambient chickens flying over the family wash spread on
the grass, and women ranging in color from Indian
chocolate to dusky. black, going about their tasks.
As the train pulled into Panama, a city-of narrow, .
crowded streets revealed itself. Native stalls in which
every imaginable bit of trash was mingled with bales
of cheap, shoddy. clothing and shelves of ancient canned
. goods, much of which was condemned for sale in the
United States, were also piled with Monte Cristo hats
of finest weaves flanked by the coarse straw sombreroswhich the peons used.
Above and around it all was a throng of native
shoppers. Big, brawny Jamaica negros, speaking the
clipped English which proudly proclaimed
sar’ —jostled little dapper
Spig policemen who were without shoes but boasted
khaki uniforms. Mixed with these was the melange
of natitve women of all colors, most whom were
broad bosomed and waddling.
“British object,
Through all this wildly dashéd tiative “‘carromatas’”
—little open victorias drawn by shaggy ponies. These
were the taxicabs of the region, used altogether by
the better classes, and of course by American soldiers
and sailors. The rates were ridiculously cheap, and
one day Chris and . hired one to take us out to the
ancient walled city of Old Panama.
This was, and still is, the most sirteentitig trip
of all to one who has read of the pirates of the Spanish
main. Sacked by Richard Morgan and a ragged following of buccaneers, who stole over the wall by night in
a surprise attack from the surrounding jungle, it was
burned and razed to the ground. The Spanish officers
and men were butchered without mercy, and the
women. who did not have the courage to kill themselves soon found a far worse fate. The spire and staircase of the old Cathedral where the officers made
their last stand, defending their women above, survived
the fire, and one imagines that there are still traces of
blood in the brown stains on the stairs, even after
nearly four centuries. But the jungle has now taken
over.
After waiting four or five days in Panama, our

boat—a ;Peruvian coast liner—came in. A day later
we embarked and turned our prow to the south from
Balboa. . This time the American passengers were in
the minority, among a mixed group of Chileans, Peruvians and other nationalities. Our two Texan friends
. were with us, on the way .to Bolivia, and helped to
liven the voyage to Callao. This trip at that time took
practically a week, as the steamer stopped to load and
unload cargo at every north Peruvian port.
Off the north coast of Peru,
generally made at night. About four in the morning,
we were usually awakened by the thunder of cargo
winches. By five, practically every male passenger
would be lined up.against the rail in various’ stages of
bathrobe negligee, watching the loading operations
while we waited the call for bathrooms from the stewards in the order assigned to us.
lazy warmth poured down over the;
sandy coast in golden prodigality. Like a nest of speckled turkey eggs in a heap of straw, the houses of the
little port, dobewalled and thatch-roofed, looked out

ARMISTICE. Today as: we
pause to reflect on our war dead;
and on that first Armistice Day,
we know that they did not die in
vain. We are still a free people
and the voice of the common man
supreme. We have not broken
their trust in us, when they went
to battle on foreign lands. A former plowman has been elected
president of the country they so
gallantly fought for. Where else
could that happen but in these
United States of America? 3

BUGABOO. That of Communism has been washed from our
horizon by the recent torrential
rains. Moscow’s mouthpiece has
failed as dismally as Moscow has
in understanding the American
Way. In—the-family,--in—polties
and in sports the pattern is the
same. We may be divided and
the fight a tough and abusive one.
Then, when the smoke of battle
has cleared, the victor and vanquished kiss and make up. So
What? The families, the political
parties and the sports fans are
all pulling together, a united
people. You can’t beat -the combination.

First they determined the strength
of bone in resisting compression.
It is about one fourth that of cast
iron, but more than twice that
of the best hickory wood. The;
long bones of the body have only ,
about one tenth the elasticity of .
stee] but equal most timbers. They
can stand a compression of approximately 23,000 . pounds per
