Pessimists can twist meanings and darken the horizon with clouds of their own creation, put rational minds will always see the bright side of life and will find the things that indicate progress. In the annual report of the Governor of the Canal Zone, just issued, there is evidence of the return of prosperity, if one searches for it. According to the official figures submitted to the Congress, the population of the Canal Zone used 131 more tooth-brushes this year than they did a year ago. There were 1,618 sold there in 1921 and 1,749 in 1922. These useful articles are imported from the United States, so that the growth in imports by that section of the continent must be reflected by a manufacturing boom at home. More goods sold abroad means more employment here. Aside from the purely commercial feature, additional pride may be taken in this growth as evidence of the civilizing influence of our form of govern- ment. It proves that the tooth-brush, also, follows the flag. Senne Gold Brick Post. Brigadier-General Sawyer, our dis- tinguished fellow-townsman, was the guest last night of Gold Brick Post, No. 6 3-8, of the American Legion. Much conversation was indulged in, after which some crap shooting was had. The General left early and all voted that a good time was had. ek OF Harding Blue at Dance. A Martha Washington dance was held last evening in the basement hall of the First and Last Hibernian Baptist Church, at which all the ladies who attended were dressed as the first First Lady of the Land and in Hard- ing Blue, also. One young lady caused a furore by mistaking her dates, she thinking this was the Cleo- patra Ball, but all was well after she had borrowed a long cloak. The fes- tivities were continued into the wee sma’ hours. * * * Musical Song Recital. Miss Mary Agnes Jones, the talent- ed young soprano of the Lutheran Episcopal Church Choir, was heard yesterday afternoon in a song recital for the benefit of indigent bankers of both classical and popular numbers. Her rendition of the Sextette from “Lucia” was pronounced the best that anyone present ever heard by a single singer. Refreshments were served, in which Miss Jones was unable to par- take, owing to being temperamentally upset. All sympathized with her. * * * Minstrel Show Soon. A joint minstrel show by the local branches of the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of Columbus is to be given at Masonic Hall on April 1. Plans for rehearsals are now under way. x * * Novel Entertainment. The Phun Phinders’ Club met last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Miller and readings from the 1923 Farmers’ Almanac of many witty say- ings and the latest jokes made all present shake with laughter. A novel feature were the refreshments, animal crackers being served, which was greeted hilariously. HARRY M.
