of wear on any part of the car. This
proves 'in itself that a good automobile

this! with days Of severe testing hunt

to depend for their food on the not very

GERMAN MEN SEEKING - -TO

Berlin, Oct 86. On the theory that
the average German, woman prefers, an
Interesting man to-a-handsome one, a
new industry is springing up in various
German, towns. One - firm advertises
thus: ; "How can you become interest
ing? Only by using ' our: ointment,
which will give you a ,wan. .. spiritual
look." Another concern Is reported to be
doing a flourishing business providing
imitation scars, "!such as decorate the
chteks of university students who in
dulge ia.student dueling. The firm ad
vertises that it "will produce the scars
"without pain or interruption . to busi
ness." ' Close resemblance to the real
thing is guaranteed in the advertise

BUILDING OF PANAMA CANAL IS . . ,
r.-. ' ; TRIUMPHANT ACHIEVEMENT
(Continued From Page One.)
In case of serious illness the employe
was given hospital care and free med
ical attendance and nursing. V '''-
In his rest 'hours' the man at work
for the government in Panama had
ielal''.:ibtilM.fc3IJ'"elts13Bi
and the government -agam' furnished the
club house, the bowling alleys, the
pool and billiard tables. Kven the club
superintendent and the club stewards
were on the federal payroll. . -
Churches were provided by the gov
ernment, and the preachers were paid
as a part of the government expense.
Children of the men ; employed in canul
work had free schools and free schdol
supplies. . " '. .
ACK of this plan of making the la
borer more than a human machine
was a master mind. .. i ,-, ?:
It was not until Colonel George W.
Goethals was sent to the Isthmus to be
come chief engineer and chairman of
the Isthmian commission that the enter
prise began to assume Its real measure
of sucoess.
It was his idea to get an organisa
tion, a . tremendous force to work. In
which each individual would be bent on
giving to the government the very best
that was in him. Recognition of the la
borer's right to be considered a man
was Goethals' master stroke. .
1 Goethals has Accomplished more for
the elevation of the status of the labor
er than can easily be understood. - His
achievement- at Panama, doing 1 more
work in less time and better than ever
before -'done, has impressed a lesson
upon the labor contractors, the superin
tendents and foremen all over the world.
In his first speech -on arrival at the
isthmus. Colonel Goethals said he want
ed no saluting on the Zone; that no man
would be Judged by the salutes that' he
gave, but, rather,, by the work ' that he
iK: Their. tat2r-i5?fr:-.4 r-itasin,
and from that day has never -worn lion
the work- r- -:'--:-,v-''""i'r '
Next Colonel Goethals made a rule
that every man at work in Panama
should live In Panama. - He then moved
into a house on the brink of the Culebra
cut, where he could -look down on the
construction trains, the steam shovel
the drill machines, the manifold en
ginery of that vast undertaking. ? i v; .
tabor Problems Decided, , v
it Asked to recognise the - unions ard
sign contracts, Colonel Goethals per
emptorily refused. He said the mn
were not there to fight one another, but
to fight the Culebra elides and the Cha
gres river. Besides, it was not a pri
vate enterprise for profit, but a govern
ment project, for the good of the world.
He raised the scale of wages paid, but
forbade strikes. The first worklngraen
who attempted to act in concert in de
manding, an increase were discharged
immediately. i
, Foremen were ordered to cease swear
ing at the men under, thern, and this
tule was rigidly enforced. Officials who
had carriages while - others . had . none
were suddenly told to walk. ' . 1
Colonel Goethals, who will go down in
history as the builder of the canal ard
the one man .without whom it la pos
sible such abundant success coiild n t
have been obtained, was born in Brook
lyn, near; the oi l ThIhi ' - 1
years ag. ' His anrf ' i n v ! !

that he got en appointment to AVeit
Point on merit In a competitive exam
ination. '; '' . ''
thals stood second In class of 6.'. Only
two mn wfra named to the corps of en
gineers from that class, and GoethU
was one of them. '
. After years as an army engineer. Goe
thals was transferred to a station under ,.
Colonel Merrill at Cincinnati.
"The most unfortunate tiling for you."
said Merrill, "is that you are a lieutenant."
, "X amrhere to learn," answered Goe
thals, and he started out aa rodman.
From then on with Goethals it whs
drill. He rose rapidly, and built dUes,
dams, Jetties and canals in the tropics
during the Spanish war,1 all the time
preparing for his master work, the con
struction - of the great waterway be
