CUBANS MAKE
VAIN REQUEST
Manufacturers Balk the Sale

Island Republics Army
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Small
arms manufacturers in the United

States army to equip the Cuban army.
ing the present strength of the Cuban
army.
The proposition came to the State
Department first from Senior Quesada,
the Cuban Minister, and it was re-
ferred by Secretary Hay to the Sec
retary of War, who in turn submitted
it to the chairmen of the committees
on military affairs in the House and
Senate. The latter regarded it favor
ably and it was again returned to the
Secretary of War with a request that
bill be drawn up by the department.
covering all necessary points to au-
thorize the transaction.
At this time the small arms man
ufacturers heard of the plan and i'm
mediately set out to prevent the con-
summation of the deal. Protests and
arguments poured in to the depart
ment in great numbers and it was seen
that to go ahead would mean anger
ing all of the small arms manufactur-
ers throughout the country. The bill
asked for by the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs was not prepared and the
question is still being held up in our
War Department.

, THE MICROSCOPE
Proves That Parasites Cause Hair Loss.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp
and hair are caused by parasitic germs.
The Importance of this discovery by Pro-
fessor Unna of the Charity Hospital.
Hamburg, Germany, can not be overesti-
mated. IT explains why ordinary hair
preparations, even of the most expensive
character, fail to cure dandruff because
they do not. and they can not, kill the
dandruff germ. The only hair prepara-
tion in the world that positively destroys
the dandruff parasites that burrow up
the scalp into scales called scurf or dan
druff. is Newbro's Herpicide. In addition
to it's destroying the dandruff germ Her
picide is also a delightful hair dressing.
