THE WORK IS BEING PUSHED

The following is the text Of President
RooSeVelts special message to congress
on the subject of the Panama canal:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiveS:
In the month of November l visited the
lSthmus of Panama, going over the
Canal Zone with considerable care; and
also visited the cities of Panama and
Colon, which are not in the zone or
under the United States flag. but as to
which the United States government,
Through its agents, exercises control for
certain sanitary purposes. / chose the
month OF November for my visit partly
because 1t is the raineSt month OF the
year, the month in which the work goes
forward at the greatest disadvantage,
and one OF the two months which the
medical department of the French Canal
company found most unhealthy.
Following the introduction to the mes
sage the president gives resume of his
programme during the days ne was on
the tsthmus. and then says:
At the outset | wish to pay tribute
to the amount of work done by the
French Canal company under very diff
cult circumstances. Many of the build
ings they put up were excellent and
houses are now getting out OF repair and
are being used as dwellings only until
other houses can be built, and much of
the work they did In the Culebra cut,
and some of the work they did in dig
ging has been of direct and real benefit.
This country has never made a better
investment than the $40000,000 which it
paid to the French company for work
and betterments. including especially the
Panama railroad.
An inspection on the ground at the
height of the rainy season served to con-
vince me Of the wisdom of congress In
refusing to adopt either high-level or
sea-level canal. There seems to be a
universal agreement among all people
competent to judge that the Panama
route, the one actually chosen, Is much

Preliminary Work Being Done.

The wisdom of the canal management
has been shown In nothing more clearly
than In the way In which the founda-
tons Of the work have been laid To
have yielded to the natural Impotence
Of ill-informed outsiders and begun all
kinds of experiments in work prior to
thorough sanitation of the isthmus, and
to fairly satisfactory working out of
the. problem of getting and keeping a
sufficient labor supply, would have been
disastrous The various preliminary
measures had to be. taken first; and
these could not be taken so as to allow
us to begin the real work of construc-
ton prior to January l of the present
year. 1t then became necessary to have
the type of the canal decided and the
only, delay has been the necessary delay
until the goth day of June, the date
when the congress definitely and wisely
settled that We should have an S5-foOt
level canal. Immediately after that the
work began in hard earnest and has
been continued with increasing vigor
ever since; and it will continue so to
progress in the future. Wk>n the con-
tracts are let the conditions will be such
as to insure a constantly increasing
amount of performance.

complained. Of, and that the trouble was
mainly due to the extreme difficulty, and
often impossibiIity, of providing in. every
place for the constant increase in the
numbers of employees Generally the pro
vision is made in advance, but 1t is not
possible that this should always he the
ease: when il Is not there ensues a
period Of time during which the condi-
tons are unsatisfactory, until a remedy
can be provided; but I never found
case where the remedy was not being
provided as speedily as possible.

SAVED BABY

Untold Suffering and Constant
Misey-AwfuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantiIe &C.
zema-Commenced at Top of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful com.
plant. Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sutferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing We would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments Of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, H., to druggist and got
full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show q
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about ninety
DAYS he was fully recovered, with the
exception of q rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one. =.
PRAISE for the CutiCura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainlv saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment Of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

4 vacant shack at State street and
Twentieth avenue was burned to the
ground this morning at $3.50 o'clock. A
ire alarm was turned in and the de-
partment responded but the little build

That the house was set on fire there
is no doubt ss it has not been occupied
for long time. Whether it was an
accident or the work Of an incendisry
is not known. II might have caught
from a smouldering cigar stub or a
partly burned match.
Fhe loss was almost nothing. The
building was on the premises known as

DIx'S SAWS FOUND.
They Were In Middle .Corrdor-Dix
 Himself Still at Large.

Although no traces of Dix himself have been discovered last night about 12 o'clock the inside jailer, Syd Standifer, found in the middle corridor of the Jail the saws which Dix must have made his escape. They were hidden under a heater which stands between two rows of cells. There are six in number about eight inches in length. and one-quarter of an inch in width, and are described as broken rip saw blades no two of which match, show ing that they came from a somtwhat varied assortment.
 It Is said at the jail that there can be no doubt but that the saws have been in possession of one of the prisoners since Dix's escape, for last Sunday the very spot where they were found last night was searched. As an evidence of what an easy matter 1t is for prisoners to conceal as well as to make such i'm pliments from their bed springs, there are a dozen knives made rom bed springs in possession of the deputies. which, from time to time, have been taken from them.
