United Press stuff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—<U>>— Ex-
actly four centuries after the Span-
iard Saavedra first formulated a proj-
ect for an artificial waterway from
Atlantic to Pacific, In 1629, n small
party of United States, engineers will
undertake investlgatb-n und survey of
the most practical inter-ocennic canal
across the Republic of Nicaragua.
On August 20, according to tenta-
tive plans, Muj. Daniel I. Sultan, re-
cently designated by Secretary Good
to conduct tlio survey, will depart
from New York, accompanied by an
assistant, First Lieutenant Eugene M.
Caffey; by Major
Paul R. Hawley,
medjeal officer.
Other members of
the party have
yet to he an
nounced, hut it Is
anticipated that
a t o p o g r aphlc
group will he
named later.
In Its earliest
stage, the mis-
sion will devote
itself to establish-
ment of friendly
contact with Nicaraguan officials,
hut as the neressa-y dlnlomnttc pre-
liminaries to the survey already have
been concluded. It. Is expected that
the field Investigation will be well un-
day way hv November.
Mass of Data Ready
The Nlcaracnan rnnnl protect was
eevernt times surveyed during tho
nineteenth century, and the present
lnves' ratnrq will have a mass of acl-
ent'f c and h'stn<-i--,l Hafn from which
to t rive suggestions for their work.
r nn N*earorunn Canal Cemmiaslon
nenotnted hv President MeKintev in
IRIS made a detailed atudv and re-
port. end suhsonnentlv continued as
the Tuthmlou C-n«l Commission Aft-
er atudv of ell fessihte canal routes,
this commission renorted In 1901 rec-
ommending the N’onrnensn route.
When the French Panama enmuanv
reduced Ita price from one hundred
million to fortv million dollars tho
commission modified ttR report and
recommended the Panama route.
The Nlcaracnan nrolccl now lias a
brighter prnanect for realisation, due
to the ran'd expansion of tariff
through the Panama canal. The lnt-
ter waterway has an estimated capac-
ity of 60.onn.nnn tons annually, and al-
ready la handling about 30.000.000
tons. Its enlargement to a capacity
of inn.000.000 would necessitate ex-
penditures of at least several hundred
million dollars, which would go far
toward Initiating the Nicaraguan wa-
terway, giving the commerrlnl anil
strategic advantages of n second
canal.
Among oxperts here who aro famil-
iar with antecedents lo the Nicaragu-
an survey, belief exists that the most
feasible Caribbean and Pacific ter-
mini of the new route will he found
respectively at San Juan del Norte
(Greytown) and Brito. It Is consid-
ered extremely unlikely that the much
longer route with Pacific terminus In
the Gulf of Fonseca would he serious-
ly considered.
Engineering Problems
Assuming this hypothesis to he cor-
rect, the major engineering problems
■trill be:
(1) To determine the potential har-
bor facilities necessary for modern
ocean steamers at Brito and San Juan
del Norte;
(2) To study the number and ar-
rangement of locks necessary for a
rise of 110 feet between the Pacific
Ocean and Lake Mana-ua;
(S) To locate a channel, across the
lake:
(4) To decide the feasibility of a
large dam on the San Juan river be
tween Machuca and Ochoa, which
would l ack up water to the level of
Lake Managua, making this part of
the river practically an arm of the
lake; or, If this Is found inexpedient,
to determine what locks will be neces-
sary;
(5) To determine the route, and
number and position of locks, between
the projected dam-site and the Carib-
bean Sea;
ft!) To build the canal with a clear
channel Into the sea. Heavy break-
water construction may he necessary
to prevent filling from sand moved by
littoral currents.
The Investigators must also consid-
er the route for the railway neces-
sary as an aid to canal construction;
study the possibilities of future dam-
age to the canal from volcanos or
earthquakes; nnl plan the sanitary de-
fense of I he canal workers. The lat-
ter problem probably will be less
acute than was the case at Panama,
as the Nicaraguan region is compar-
atively free from malaria and endem-
ic diseases.

Frank Swinnerton, noted English
novelist, born 45 years ago.
On Ihelr work to date, the follow-
ing players In our estimation form the
best major league all-star team for
this year:
Flrat base—Terry, New York Giant*
Second bate—Lanerl, New York
Yankees.
Third bate—Traynor, Pitttburgh
Pirate*.
Shortstop— Jackton, New York
Giants.
Left Field—Simmon*, Philadelphia
Athletics.
Center Field—Wlleon, Chicago Cuba.
Right Field—Manueh, St. Louis
Browns.
Catcher — Cothran*, Philadelphia
Athletics.
Pitcher— Lucas, Cincinnati Reda.
Pitcher — Earnshaw, Philadelphia
Athletic*.
Pitcher—Bukh, Chicago Cuba.
Pitcher—Grimes, Pittsburg Pirate*.
The Athletics with four players—
Simmons, Cochrans, Grove and Earn-
shaw —have the largest representation
on the team. The Giants, Cubs and lng
Pirates have two each.
The hardest place to fill on the
team was shortstop. Travis Jackson
seemed to be the best of the lot, with
fading veterans his nearest competit-
ors. Dave Bancroft of Brooklyn Is
the best hitter In either league and
Rabbit Maranvllle Is playing a bang
up game for the Boston Braves. Both
have long since passed their peak and
their major league days are numbered.
Lyn Lary, the Yankees’ rookie, has a
lattlng average of something like j
300 but hasn't been playing regularly.!
Leo Durocher, Yankees' regular bhort- ]
stop, is a great fielder, but Inclined
to bo erratic. Tho Athletics have
used three men, Dykes, Boley and
Cronin, at shortstop. Joe Sewel, who
Is playing third base for the Indians,
Is still probably the best shortstop lu
either league. Kress of the Browns,
English of the Cubs and Bartell of
the Pirates are hardly above the aver-
age.
The selection of Terry over Jimmy
Foxx at first base Is simply a matter
of personal preference. Foxx Is a
great young ball player, but In our
estimation not as valuable as Terry
who Is not only a dangerous hitter but
a classy fielder. Foxx Isn’t yet a fin-
ished first baseman.
The pitching staff almost selects
Itself, and no man belongs on It more
than Red Lucas.’who has pitched mag-
nificently for Reds, a weak second
division club. The other four pitchers
—Grove, Earnshaw, Grimes and Bush
—have lost less than a dosen games
between them and have won more than
sixty.
Cochrane Is easily the best catcher
in the major leagues. He does not.
have an equal at getting the beet re-
sults out ol his pitcher, and he is one
of the best hitters In baseball.
NEW YORK. August 9 — (IP)—
American women pay more lhan
$40,000,000,000 a year for good# to
run the-ir hemes, according to William
H. Baldwin, author of "The Shopping
Book," the first manual for house-
wives ever to be written.
Shopping is the modern woman's
freedom from the exhaustive labors of
Baldwin points out. But, In this case,
running the homes of an earlier day,
freedom from the drudgery of produc-
tion has been bought at a tremendous
price, that price being loss of first-
hand Information ns to the materials
and workmanship of products used In
the home. Further, he continues, the
determination of necessities and lux-
uries is no longer based on physical
ability but on capacity to pay, and the
Initiative 1n creating and determining
needs has passed largely to the pro-
ducers and distributors, who exert It .
through advertising.
“The average shoper must still rely j
on her native instinct and wit In deal- |
with Industry which Is mobiliz-
portatton. the motor Industry and tha ■
other familiar yardsticks of power and
slse, shopping has remained unorgan-
laod and highly individualistic. At (
the same time, great schools of tech-
nology and of business administration
have developed to make Industrial life
mure efficient and abundant.
'In organized business, the unintelli-
gent expenditure of $40,Q00,090,000
would be considered criminal, yet that
Is exactly what the shoppers ol this
country are doing. It is high time
that women began to arm themselves
with information to meet the new com- j
petition whose watchword Is 'buy.' It
is unnecessary to become a walking
encyclopedia, but It is advisable that,
they acquire a greater resourcefulness
In determining lor themselves the |
best methods of judging and buying j
merchandise.

Many Women--why not
Many women sensibly shift household drudgery to electrical ser-
vants, who work for a few cents a day.
Many women have learned that electric refrigeration, electric
laundering, cleaning and cooking, can add hours of leisure to their
day.
Many wmnen put electricity to work and use the time saved to
rest, to play, to stay young and widen a circle of pleasant friends.
Many women—why not YOU?
Our Merchandise Department or any stand-
ard dealer in electric appliances will gladly
explain how you can economically and con-
veniently completely electrify your home.
