Wilson has Introduced into the rcHtauruntit under hlu charge somu daring Innovations for Kngland. Hu has an Idea that color en hunces jazz and has perfected a, series of changing panels winch make it possible for an orchestra to play -Jitpiiiu-Ke music with a Japanese background, Elizabethan mimic with an Elizabethan back ground and American jazz with a background which is a riot of color. Among other innovutlons introduced by Wilson aro revolv ing bandstands, invisible orqhcs tras led by a beautiful female lead er, and ghostly leaders for vis ible orchestras. The clement of the theatre has been brought into restaurant music by Wilson. Hlr William Terry, organist ut the' Wjc it minster Cathedral, hus taken issue with Wilson and de nounces many of his schemes for brightening restaurant orchestras. "Why should a man check hH mentality wtth hl hat at the res taurant door?" Sir William asks.

The practice of .oving need wheat containing a high percentage of weed seed has been altogether loo common.

Of course, It was expected the revenue In tolls would probably pay for tho .upkeep of tho canal, and it was also hoped that ln timo the revenues would cut down to a con siderable extent the original cosl of construction; but oven the most nthushtstic never thought this could be achieved In the short po rlod of 4 0 years.

Of this amount $7,500,000 wus expended In; general upkeep, leaving a net pro- j fit of $10,000,000, und furthermore the auxiliary business in the zone owned by the government returned A profit of another $l.ooo.ooo. This uuxlliary business consists of sup ply stores selling food, fuel, ship appurtenances und the like to -ves-1 sels passing through. ( . Officials declare It wns first ex pected that considerably under 100 vessels would pass through the locks every nmnih. This was the i'uee Water Problem. Kvory time a ship passes thru the locks tho volume uf water In tho lake Is lessened, and ut the end I of the three-inonlh period, when the mountain streams which feed the lake hnve been dried up. the I water supply recedes to a very low1 level. All In all, officials contend (hat the building of the I'unuina Canal was the best business proposition the 1'nited titutes ever entered. The Importance of the canal to Amer ican shippers Is shown by the fact that 40 per cent of the venue Is which pass through are owned by American firms. The actual re turn in dollars and cents In regud to the value of the canal as u pari of tho defense system, of course, cannot bo estimated.
