- Resumen This is a story of the personal experiences of one who went to the Canal Zone as a bride, and of her adjustment to living not only in the tropics but under the aegis of Uncle Sam, who furnished everything from living quarters and food, which was brought two thousands miles from the States , to mouse traps and "ant men" to ferret out the pests. This is not a story, primarily, of the actual constructio n problems in connection with the building of that wonderfu l waterway. That is another story and should be told by an engineer. It would be a story bristling with statistics and technica l information . This deals with construction problems only as the y affected the daily living of men engaged on the job—and thei r wives.
