Baby Nervous
and Fretful?
* A n?rvoua and fretful child Is a Bore
trial to the tired mother, who often is
at a loea to discover the cause of the
little one's distress. But babies have
nerves Just like grown-ups and can
only express their feelings by crying.
In wuch cases a dose or two of Teeth
ina will umiaJly soothe the fretting
oblld.
Mrn J. M. liutler, of Ollmer, Texan,
writes: "I have four Jlttle ones an4
used Teethina with all of-them. When
tiahy U fretful and nervous 1 give hoi
a'doBd and she is soon laughing and
playing."
Teethina contains no opiates 'or
other narcotics and can be safely
given to the youngest ohjld.
Teethina Is sold by all arugglsts, qr

The Bjg flitch Across Isthmus l.eudb
I he WorlfJ,
"Ten years old on August 15, the
?Panama (/ana! i> such a luatj young
ster that- 'already it is outgrowing its
original clothes and has Uncle Sum
wondering if it will need larger gar
ments.' '
"In traffic handled it has passed
middle-ugod, 55 year-Old Suez Canal
and is now the world's greatest arti
ficial intcr-oceanic waterway,
"Att^the present rate of traffic
growth the canal will have to bo
greatly onlaiged before it is throe
decades older,'
"Such is a thumb'- nail sketch of the
accomplishments of America's ' Hi y:
Ditch' on the eve of its second do
cade," says a bulletin from the Wash
ington, 11, C? headquarters of the
National Geographic Society. The
waterway was formally opened tu the
world August 15, 1 U 1-1.
"The Panama Canal's birthday
achievement. gives "\Jnited States the
proprietorship of the two' busiest
canals in the world, the. Panama and
the Sault Ste. Marie," continues the
buTlet in. " rne latter "still handles
twice as much traffic as the Panama
Canal although it is Open only eight
months of the year.
"Panama Canals' ten year record
reads Hke the story of the traditional
American boy, rising from poverty to
wealth. It is a record of financial
success beyond the dreams of many
of its staunchest adherents; it is a
record o^-? service success; it is a
triumph Of sanitation; it is, as Vis
count Bryce ' predicted, 'the greatest
engineering achievement ?,>f history or
of prospect.'
"In 11)2.'* canal tolls totaled more
than $17,000,000 against expenses of
$4,317,000, a net profit equal to more
than 3.5 per cent of the construction
cost of the_eanalr $375,000,000. In
1923 nearly -1,000 vessels passed from
ocean to ocean. But the fiscal year
of 1924 far outstripped 1923. Of the
107,000,000 cargo tons transferred in
the decade, more tlfcrn a fourth is
credited to 192*4 and the tolls rose
to $24,290,000. Expenditure figures
are not yet available.
"President Coolidge recently gave
the deserving Panama Canal a birth
day present; a'n executive order put
ting aside 22 square miles of addi
tional country, for the Canal Zone.
This acquisition will be converted into
a large reservoir to save up the
Charges floods which would other
wise go over the Gatun Dam spill
way. It is estimated that this new
reservoir will store up a supply of
water sufficient to ? meet demands
until 1955 based on a normal growth
of trade.
"The new Alhajuela- project will
further increase the size of Gatun
Lake which is already the largest
artificial bod>* of water in the world.
Its present area, 165 square miles, is
one-third the size of Lake Champlain.
"JCven since the Panama Canal was
proposed predictions of its great boon
to trade have filled the press. Ten
years show - what the canal is good
for. Oil is king at Panama today, the
figures show. The tonnage of v6tts,
chiefly, crude and refined petroleum^
passing through from the Pacific to
Atlantic exceeds the total of all other
products. In the opposite direction
oils stand second only to iron and
stool.
"From tho United States' industrial
east t h<> iron and steel come and
thousands <>i tons of other manufac
tured products and textiles come at
tho rate <?! more than 100, 000 tons i*.
one yar ammonia, cotton, sulphur,)
cement, i oai and < oke, metals, ores 1
and paper.
"In L nited States the great argu- '
mmt for the Panama Canal, after its
r.?'<? >sity for defense, was its advant
age t?> coastwise traffic. Ton years
>ho\v that the 'Big Ditch' fulfils these
expectations. Two thirds of oast
bound tonnage from all sources is
foastwiif traffic. Of the tonnage
originating in west coast states, nine
ty per cent is consigned to east coast
ports. Half of the shipments from
the industrial oast totaling one-third
of all westbound traffic is coastal
traffic. California sends millions of
barrels of oil east via tho canal.
Much of her fruit in cold storage
moves this way and from the north
ern part of the coast comes the
famous salmon. Lumber is a com
modity of rapidly increasing import
ance in canal business, tho east coast
exchanging its particular types of
wood for the west coast's native
trees. Wheat from western Canada
instead of flowing to Europe by the
lakes and rivers of the St. Lawrence
system, goes to Vancouver now and
is shipped to Kngland via Colon.
"All the odors, scents and Smells
rising from a crowded far east port
can not match those at Panama.
Tankers with blood from South Am
erica, camphor from Japan, algaro
billa from Andes forests, garlic, hair,
caada^nri
Flame, onions from California, pen*
nuts and tea from China, rubber from
Singapore, copra from the South
Seas, and pungent ammonia from
Haltimore all mix at Panama. Hut
probably no port in Ardby dissipates
its stenches and its scents in sanitary
oxygon and antiseptic sunshine as
Panama docs. The Canal Zone, from
Panama City on the Pacific to Cris
tobal and Colon on the Caribbean, i-;
as spotless and well swept as a Dutch
kitchen. *
"In ten years more than 155,000
ships have transmitted the canal.
Tlussi? ships paid for this privilege
$97,tf02,000; a sum equal to more than
one-fourth the total construction cost.
An average of I t vwsels a day now
passes through tip- canal and each
day the United States collects about
$05,000 tolls. That the tendency of
tradb is to bring raw products east
and send manufactured products
back is shown in part by the fact tha't
in the decade the tonnage from the
Pacific to the Atlantic exceeded that
going in the other direction by more
than 20,000,000.
"The service of the canal's early
apprenticeship to Mars, that of hand
ling precious nitrates from Chile to
make powder for the Allies, is still
ah important duty. Nitrates -are the
most important product received by
the ciuial from all west coast South
America. During the war, it is said,
a chain of battleships- guarded the
nitrate route from Chile to London
constantly. Today the Panama Canal
has beaten its swords into plowshares
for the nitrates it carried for cannon
now serve loyally in the farmers'
fields. #
A judge in a Brooklyn, N. Y., court
last week put four men under bonds
aggregating $150,000 on charges of
first degree burglary. Two of them
are held under bortd of $50,000 each
and two $25,000 eacli.

?^T'OU can learn ail you need to know about car lubrica
JL tion in one lesson," says the Fleet Boss. "There are just
four rules. Standardize on 'Standard* Polarine. Get the right
consistency. Use enough. Change it often."
The correct consistency of oil or grease for crank-case, trans
mission and rear axle has been charted for every make of car
and truck. If you are not sure whether you arc using the
right one ask your dealer to show you his "Standard" Polar
ine Chart. Then, wherever you go, ask for that consistency
by name.
If you expect your engine to be on the job whenever you
need it, it is up to you to make sure of it. Buy your oil on a
quality basis. Change it at least every 500 miles. Years of
experience have shown that to be about the limit of safety.
Under average conditions the very best of crank-case oil col
lects enough road grit and unburnt fuel in 500 miles to im
pair seriously the lubrication of pistons and main bearings.
So when you change, change! To leave any dirty and diluted
oil where it must be used over and over again is to ruin the
fresh oil you put in, even a high quality oil like ^'Standard"
Polarine. Play safe ? new oil on a regular schedule is cheaper
than repairs.
