Twenty-Five Thousand Men Are
Needed to Protect Panama Canal
BIG GUNS USELESS WITHOUT
THEM SAYS BRIGADIER
GENERAL EDWARDS
Topography of Strip Makes Force
Imperative He Tells the
Military Committee

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Twenty.
five thousand men. or more than one
fourth the present total strength OF
the present stand ng army are needed
10 insure adequate protection OF the
Panama canal. Brigadier General Clar-
ence X. Edwards. commanding the
canal garrison. told the senate military
committee today in outlining HIS opin-
ions on national defense. Fixed forti-
fications. no matter how strong, can
not guard the zone, General Edwards
said, without an army, the guns there
are a sort OF weakness. not strength,
he declared He declared the jungles
on part OF the zone would be more OF
a protection than a hindrance to an
approaching enemy.
But this is far from ALL" he added.
AT a distance OF from II to 20 miles
from the axis OF the canal on the
Pacific side. the country Is not only
free from jungle and the ordinary
tropical growth, but IL is as open "a
are parts of New Mexico and Lower
California. There an enemy is offer
ed facility for landing mobile troops
and reaching by easy marches the
vitals of the canal-the miraflores and
reflection by any military student
familiar with the facts should show
that we must never let an enemy ap-
proach within ten miles OF the locks.
The contemplated permanent force
OF civil employees Is from 1000 20
$500 whites and 10000 blacks. In
the event of war likely to involve :he
canal. il is probable that many of them
would volunteer. / recommend legis-
lation therefore. that shall require
all male civilian employees OF the canal
of suitable age and physical condi-
tiOn TO obligate themselves to volun-
teer and in preparation for this TO
offer themselves for a period OF nc
least two months training during the
first two years of their employment
and thereafter for ten days each year.
Applies to Hawaii.

importance OF the canal zone in any
system OF national defense and the
necessity OF providing complete pro

HAIR AND SCALP TROUBLES II.

and also a fine tooth comb is abso-
lutely prohibited. In mild cases. a
bland oil gently rubbed into the scalp
several times daily is all that is nee
essary. Carbolated vaseline is an ex-
cellent remedy. When the condition is
obstinate the following ointment is
advised. Ammoniated mercury, 20
grains: salicylic acid. 10 grains; lam
olin, 2 grains; petrolatum, 6 grains;
mix and rub into the scalp daily,
gently but thoroughly.
The absence OF all hair, or at most,
very scant growth, sometimes occurs.
Scientists have discovered that a close
relationship exists between the skin,
hair, and nails and the ductless glands,
especially the thyroid. Indeed, they
are now OF the opinion that many
cases of this kind and of incurable
badness to have to do with underde-
velopment Of the thyroid.
When a child, therefore, reaches the
age OF three or four years with little
or no hair. it calls for vigorous treat
ment Every phase of its life should he
looked into. Exercise in the open air
with plenty of sunlight is as neces-
sary as proper food and hygienic sur
roundings. Cod liver oil, and especial
ly the syrup of the iodide of iron,
should be administered. The latter be-
cause thyroid secretions contain iodine
an element vital to the development OF
the body, and iron for its tonic effect
upon the blood.
Ringworm Is a condition of the scalp
not always distinguishable from ordi-
nary dandruff. 1t is highly contagious
as many Investigators now believe
most scalp troubles to be.
