"OLIVE DRAB"
UNIFORMS Objected TO
Say Apparently Perfect Apparel
for Use in Tropics is too Heavy
and Dark to be Healthful.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Aftsr years
of experiments having evolved in the
"Ollve Drab" uniform what appears tn,
ideal raiment for troops in all cli-
mates but especially in the tropics,
the army quartermasters are now con
fronted by a report made to the Sur
geon General by the army beard for
the study of tropical diseases show
ing that the fabric is not a good
one for use in time of peace.
1t is true that the olive drab Is
more nearly invisible than any other
color, that 1t withstands better the
bleaching effects of the tropical sun
and that 1t Is more agreeable than
the khaki, which 1t replaced. But the
army surgeons say, after exhaustive
experiments in the Philippines, that
the khalSis are much cooler, although
not nearly so cool as white drilling
(which Is not suitable for garrison
use.) Any furthsr changes to be made
In the uniform, the surgeons say,
should be in the direction of a high
ter shade rather than darker one.

shall Jack Wallace is positive that
Thomson was murdered. The magis-
trate continued his examination of
witnesses this morning at s O'Clock.
Marshal Wallace last night talked Of
getting bloodhounds, but it is now
believed that no trail could be follow
ed because so many people have visit
cd the spct.
The mystery in the murder is its
environment. The wooded bluff where
Thomson's body was found is Ion -
ly spot hard of access. Why he should
have gone there, or for what purpose
Is puzzle. The hillside is steep and
ovsrgrown with underbrush. There
is no road at Its base. The only easy
way to gat there would be by passing
through the cemetery. Why Thomson
went there. or whether he was per-
suaded to go there to keep an appoin.
msnt of some secret nature are things
the officials are trying to find out. So
far as can be learned there was no
sane reason for his going to the place
That he might have been murdered q,
some other place and his body carried
into the woods is a theory now ad-
-vanced
The discovery of the body is the
sole theme of talk in the city. No
crime in score of years has been
surrounded with such a blanket of
mystery. The officials will this
morning go over all the woods and
adjacent territory in hope of finding
some clue which may lead to a so
luton of the crime.
