LONDON, (INS) American
jazz 1h living used to inereuae Eng
lish hunger.
Will am J. Wilson, un AnuTicun
theatrical producer, has been en
Kuk(1 hy the Lyons chain restau
rants to supervise their orchca
traa in the hope that Increased at
tractiveness of rentaurant orchaa
trati will lncrrano Knglish Htonuicli
cupacity,
"Juzz inereae hunger," Wilson
declares, "und it is my work to
pip the restaurant jazz tip to a
point wht-ro H will cause the Kng
lish appetite to ffrow and flourish."
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.
Jlf opposes jazz In restaurants, but
,doc congratulate the Lyons res
taurants on their innovation of in
troducing opemltc numbers In
their muwlrnl programs.

huge sum could be charged off to
the item of national defense.
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.

The originnt cost of construction
in round figures, was 37k,ooo,ooo.
In the fiscal year ending Juno 30,
1 23, the total revenue from the
canal was fi 7,500.000. Of this
amount $7,500,000 wus expended In;
general upkeep, leaving a net pro- j
fit of $10,000,000, und furthermore

A profit of another $l.ooo.ooo. This
uuxlliary business consists of sup
ply stores selling food, fuel, ship

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.
