He labored ao willingly and so well that he was soon the most popular man aboard the ship. Upon reaching Darien he was chosen as leader of the settlement. While on a short expedition of exploration he crossed the isthmus and discovered the Pacific ocean, claiming all the lands that touched upon it for the King of Spain. This was in 1513. The narrowness of the isthmus between the Caribbean and the Pacific led to the laying out of a trail across it. It also led to the founding of the settlement of Panama six years later in 1519, the town originally being a fishing village, the name "Panama" signifying "fishermen." - The ruins of the old city are only five miles distant from the new. The trail of the early Sixteenth century is a fine roadway. Originally it was called "Camino de Qro," meaning "the Road of Gold." The wealth of Westerti Mexico and of Peru once poured over it. This all led Panama to become very wealthy. It was the starting place for the caravans of mules drawing loads of yellow metal to the Caribbean side,' where ships waited to convey it to Spain. Pirates frequently staged successful holdups at Panama. ^ "Village of Fox River Grove, in the • County of McHenry, in the State " Df Illinois.

PERCY BARNES, 6-3_ I ORDINANCE MAKING THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE CURRENT FI8- CAL YEAR ^ Fuel Too Cold'to Burn in Sections of, Siberia In a few sections of Siberia the temperature sometimes drops as low as 40 degrees below zero, and occasionally lower than that. While this is extremely cold in comparison to the general temperature of the country, says the Rocky Mountain Herald, it is not cold enough to cause the Strange things to happen which occur when the mercury drops to 50 degrees or more below zero, Fahrenheit. In parts of Siberia, where the record temperature is, 91 degrees below zero, many thihgs happen which would seem very strange to us. For example, the people who inhabit this Jregion have some difficulty in finding means of furnishing light during the cold spells. A flashlight, if they had one, would be of little use, since at temperatures under 50 degrees below the battery will freeze up in a short time, rendering the flashlight useless. The candle is subject to similar difficulties. In this extreme cold the wax or fat used in making the candle becomes so hard that the heat from the small blaze is insufficient to melt it and so the flame is shortlived. Even the old standby, the lantern, behave^, badly. - ••• Tailless Dogf "xfc# Sehiperke pooale Is the only dog that is naturally tailless. No trace of a tail occurs in the typical Schipperkes. These dogs were first bred in Holland and Belgium and are related to the Pomeranians, which they resemble except for their short hair. They are small, usually black in color, compactly built and have a foxlike head with erect ears. Most short-tailed dogs, such as the terriers commonly seen with stubby tails an inch or two 1 long, are made so by cropping fecial Master in Chancetj^,, „their tails when they are puppies. Some English sheep dogs are referred to as bobtailed, and occasionally one is born without a tail, ibut as a rule they are born with /tails and the tails are cut so short that the animals have the appearance of never having had tails at all.

Chicago--Accidents, sucked along in the wake of a nation rising from the depths of-digression, killed 111,- 000 persons in 1936 and cost Americans about $3,750,000,000, reports the National Safety council. Both figures are all-time high totals. Tornadoes, floods, excessive heat, increased employment and a sharp jump in motor vehicle travel were indicted for the increase which wiped out the previous record of 101,139 set in 1934. In addition to deaths, the council said, about 400,000 were permanently disabled by accidents last year and 10,300,000 temporarily disabled. The country's bill for recklessly and carelessly "stubbing its toe" was broken down info $2,630,000,000 in wage loss and medical expense, $830,000,000 for property damage resulting from motor vehicle accidents and $290,000,000 for fire loss. While accident totals increased in .every phase of human activity the council pointed out that the increased totals were accompanied by even larger jumps in "exposure" to accidents,, "leaving solid ground for belief that when the country once more is definitely on the high road of prosperity with employment and automobile travfel at fairly constant levels, the accident totals will shrink rapidly in the fac« intelligent safety work." Rise in all Fields. • Hon« accidents: Deaths in 1936 were A per cent more than in l935-- 39,000 against 31,500. For the first time in eight years there were more home Occident fatalities than motor vehicle deaths. Occupational accidents: Deaths up 9 per cent to 18,000 from 16,500 in 1935. The council commented that the increase was smaller than in general employment- which exposed additional millions to the hazards of machinery, tools and the other implements of gainful employment in factory, on farms, in offices and elsewhere. Miscellaneous pub)kf accidents (not involving motor vehicles): Deaths up 6 per cent from 18,000 ir. 1935 to 19,000. These accidents were caused by such things as firearms, drownings, poisonings, asphyxiation and accidents involving media of transportation other than motor vehicle where the injured or killed was not an employee of the transportation company. Motor vehicle accidents: Deaths up 4 per cent to 38,500 from 37,000 in 1935. However, "exposure" to traffic accidents was tremendously greater in 1936. Registration figures show 28,270,000 vehicles traveled the streets and highways last year, more than in any previous year. And they traveled 225.000,000,000 miles, 22,000,000,000 more than in 1935. Heat prostration caused by excessive heat last July and August contributed 3,500 to the total of 39,- 000 home accident deaths. Permanent disability from home accidents jumped from-140,000 in lftafcto 170,000. Industrial trend. " " Occupational accidents added 70,- 000 permanent disability cases to their death total and 1,460.000 porary disability cases, compared to respective totals for 1935 of 63.- 000 and 1,340,000.' These injuries re* suited in a wage loss of $520,000,000 and medical expense billed at $45,- 000,000. In addition, the overhead cost of providing liability and workin e n' s compensation insurance amounted to about $105,000,000. The three - item total was $50,000,000 larger than in 1935. However, occtfpational accident deaths in 1936 were but half as numerous as in 1913, when organized safety work began and reductions in accident frequency and severity rates sinc<f 1?13 had saved about 265,000 lives ahd effected a further saving of $3,700,000,000 to employers, workers, their dependents and the general public. The increase in deaths from miscellaneous public accidents (firearms, poisonings, asphyxiations, drownings, and catastrophic weath» er conditions) was reported to have been caused "primarily by fatalities occurring in tornadoes last April in the southeastern .states, in New England and Ohio river floods ami in last summer's excessive heat.
