chances that such force would have
Of finding sustenance. Then little
groups of soldiers have been started
from various possible landing places
with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
they traverse, in order to determine
what an enemy could do.
The result of this work of investfga-
ton so far, briefly and wholly unofi-
cially stated, is that the shores Of the
Atlantic ocean, within a good many
miles of the zone, are impracticable
for a landing force because Of the ma
ture of the country; that landing
could be made easily on the Pacific
side some distance west Of the zone,
but between there and the canal the
jungle is so dense as to be virtually
impossible; that the dangerous dis
trict is that lying Immediately east of
last mentioned shores an enemy could
well land an army, and the semi-open,
rolling savannas between there and
the canal would give easy access to
the zone.
The army officers on the isthmus
make no secret of the fact that their
Investigations are being carried on
mainly with the Japanese in mind.
How those islanders could land there
and what they could do If they did
land are the problems engaging the
attention Of Colonel Greene and his
men of the Tenth.
One defensive measure that has
been adopted is the clearing out of
practically all inhabitants from the
zone, except at the ends of the canal
and in several of the larger towns,
which, as have said, may be kept as
quarters for the soldiers. All holdings
Of land are being valued by mixed
commission and the residents moved
away. When the canal is completed
the jungle, much of which has been
cleared out, will be allowed to grow up
again, for the experience Of centuries
has shown that that jungle itself is
powerful defense against an invading
army. The practicable roads through
it are few and far between, the
streams not navigable, and the growth
Of trees, brush and great vines SO
dense that it is virtually impossible
for body Of men, to say nothing OF
cannon and supply wagons. A rapid
dash through the jungle would be en-
tirely out of the question, and when
the zone is deserted all food supplies
will have disappeared.
Some fear has been expressed that
a few men could land, make their way
quietly to the canal and blow up the
locks. But 1t seems unlikely that they
could get ashore and transport to the
canal, undetected, enough explosives
to do any great damage.
On the whole, the canal will be quite
adequately prctected-provided It Is
not attacked too soon.

Made Daddy Gasp.

A certain small Chicago laddie is
quick-witted as initiative, and so given
to considering himself as quite an
adult in comparison with his baby
brother, that ne now and then talks
and acts in manner that might by
the uncomprehending be judged i'm
pertinent. Not long since at the fam
lily table the boy attempted to relate
a recent experience. His father, who
was talking, paid no attention, and
the child's anger got the better of
his politeness. Raising his voice
shrilly and speaking with an absurdly
unconscious resemblance to his ia
theirs tone and manner under similar
circumstances, he demanded
Papa, will you kindly close your
little trap for just one moment while

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN /
Victim of Sunburn Will Find Relief
In This Preparation, Which Is
Home Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been
sunburned is made by mixing togeth-
er four ounces of pure almond meal
an ounce Of powdered orris, two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops of bitter almond oil and a quar-
ter of drachm of extract of musk.
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after wetting it rub on
some of the above preparation in
stead of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because a
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to a sunburned skin,
would make it sore and tender. More
water is used and the skin is cleansed
with the hands and finally rinsed sew
eral times and with old soft towels
patted dry. Then a mere suspicion
of cold cream is massaged into the
skin and SO left for the night.
Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for it as just described even though
it is naturally of a dry texture will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
will the girl with the oily skin One
would think that a girl with oily skin
would not burn as readily as the girl
with the dry skin on account of suffi-
cient oily moisture, but nevertheless
1t has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
is SO is because of the difference in
the skin tissues.

islands are all being connected with

joined to the mainland at Balboa by a
breakwater about 1900 feet long, on
which has been constructed a railway
line.
Some eight miles away, nearly due
south, lies the larger island of Taboga,
and timid souls have suggested that it
would form safe shelter and recuper-
ating point for a hostile fleet, for its
hills rise to a considerable elevation
and on its south side there is plenty
Of deep water. But if Colonel Goe-
thals' opinion is to be taken-and it
should be-Taboga need not cause
Uncle Sam any anxiety.

Culebra, c. 1.-THE strongest de-
fense of the Panama canal, in my opin-
ion, is the fact that hostile vessel
must come into 500-foot channel long
before it is within striking distance of
the vital points Of the canal, the locks,
and in doing so must pass within easy
range of the forts that are being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when l
asked him as to the vulnerability of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
''The naval power of the nations is
so nicely balanced now that no one
Of them would be willing to risk the
destruction of a single battleship by
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and Of
course the accuracy of guns on shore
is much greater than that of those on
moving vessels. I do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
a naval victory"
The forts Of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many Of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but venture to say that in case
of urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within a very short time.

Put I oon in Hat

Women know what a hard task it is
to hang up their hats. The Office girl
finds a new place every day for her
hat. 1t is on the desk, the shelf or
pinned on the wall with big hatpins.
A new way, says the Los Angeles Ex-
press, is to take piece of tape or
baby ribbon, make loop about four
inches long, sew it to the gathered
part of the lining of your hat and
that's all. Hang up your hat by the
loop on the rack, nail or any available

Black gloves for evening wear are
coming back into fashion, as are dark
gray and brown instead of white as

novelty In the new black gloves lies
IN the fact that many are buttonless,

the wrist to the extreme edge of the
