An Interesting hut somewhat gruesome sight is the separate poor section of the cemetery where the burial fee covers a period or tnrea years after which it-is said, due to expensive space, if no further rent is forthcoming the interned are dug up and hones collected in a large honeyard adjoining the cemetery. This custom they say either has heen or Is being discon- tinued but in any case there Is the bhoneyard with a massive pile of hu- man skulls and bones, many of which are seemingly of recent ex- cavation. Another rather unusual thing Is a well organized orphan home housing around 500 children. Here a system is maintained where wo- men unable to look after their off- spring may deposit the infant at a gateway in a receptacle for that purpose and where a warning is given without the woman being observed.

To the stranger there are two puzzling things about the Panama Canal which causes a little surprise and which is perhaps contrary te the popular idea. One is that the entry into the Canal on the At- 'Jlantic side sailing Westbound is further West than the exit on the Pacific side--in other words, sail- ig Westbound one actually passes 'through the Canal in a South East- ern direction, . . The other peculiarity {is that, while from a navagation stand- point the waters of the two oceans waters of the Atlantic and Pacific do not meet or mix is due to the higher level Jakes between locks being constantly fed by rivers ana always being maintained as fresh ad STANDARD BRICK Telephone Grover 7247 500 Greenwood Ave, water lakes, therefore strictly speaking the actual "Kissing of the oceans" as poetically spoken of will never be realized.

'rme alacrity and ease in which ships are handled with entire absence of noise or confusion of any kind is also interesting.

Inter- esting also are the palm thatched houses built on stilts with the space under the house om the ground level used for the horse or aute- mobile or other vehicles. Panama was evidently ahead of such mod- ernized places as San Francisco and other up-to-the-minute Pacific Coast cities in setting the fashion or idea of building so many houses now in congested districts with the garage on the main, floor and dwel- ling house above, which seems an old idea in Panama, / After = leaving Panama our thoughts for several days were more engaged with what we had seen and done rather than with what was going on on board and while we viewed with a certain amount of interest part of the mountains and coast of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala and commented on sonfe of the very high and distant mountains along ipart of the Mexican coast, yet much 'ef the conversation on hoard con- 'tinued about Panama from where many passengers had brought on board a variety of things such as Spanish shawls, Panama hats, lace goods, Oriental jewellry, per- fumes, cocoanuts, banamas, pine- apples, wines, strangely colored birds, while one young lady brought a pet monkey aboard and which caused a bit of amusement. Good weather continued and time passed quickly during the next eleven days at sea and after calling at one or two Pacific Coast ports we finally approached our destination, San Francisco, where our fina] thrill was experienced as we passed through the world fam- ous "Golden Gate" and with awe viewed the contour of the metro- polis of the Pacific with its panor- amic mountainous background. wjarful flowers th the moun- Like New York and almost every other hig cosmopolitan seaport city in the world, San Francisco has its problems and although strictly American yet on account of its location many Orientals as well as transient foreign element are in evidence and there is contained what might be called the Chinese capitol of the U.S. Its early Span- ish' history and romances of the gold rush days and western pin- eering days are now almost for- gotten especially since the re- building of the elty, vet with a certain amount of Western ele- ment with the expanse of sea and good, bad and indifferent and 1s equal expamse of mountains with its 'weather conditions there is a peculiarity 'or certain atmosphere of breadth of freedom and busi- ness briskness which one meets with which puts San Francisco in a class by itself. It is quite a com- mon thing to hear residemts com- | ment on their love for San Francis. co. How delightfu] it is to hear people express how they love the town they live in, especially when an outsider sees some reason for it. To write as fully as I'd like about San Francisco as well as Southern California would take too long, but might add that as fis already well known Southern Cali- fornia with Los Angeles as its cen- tre is more than ever the Mecca of the world for autoists and realiz- ing this, Eastern concerns of Auto Manufacturers and allied and ae- cessory lines are extending their interests and building mew plants in Los Angeles, which is greatly increasing as a large manufactur- ing centre and especially so since the low through water rates on raw materials have peen made pos- sible the current tendency being to extend branch factories and operas tions to the fertile fields of action.
