But Cuticuro Soothed

Read this letter-how smarting
rash and blisters due to external
causes were relieved in almost no
time by Cuticura.
:" l noticed an itching sensation on
my face and arms. 1t afterwards

very tender and sensitive. Finally
a rash broke out which, when
rubbed, caused a smarting and in
tense itching. 1t was agony.
"A sample Of Cuticura Soap and

that ! bought some. After using
one cake of Cuticura Soap and
.one-half tin of Cuticura Oint-
+ment, the rash disappeared" "

ALExANDR1A-Like strange cara
vans crossing the desert, ships creep
through the SueZ Canal in single file.
We.dropped anchor at Suez at 320
In the morning. The harbOr was full
Of ships, chugging launches on busy
early-morning errands. The lights Of
Suez were on our left. Directly across
our bow was the signal tower--red and
green lights high against starlit
sky not yet touched by dawn. on to
starboard, burning so brightly and so
low over the faint, mountainous hori-
zon that Senator Reynolds bet a dime

light, hung Venus-"Star of the East"

lehem.
An officer stood on the bridge with
glasses trained on the signal tower,
watching for the signal that would
start us through the canal with a con-
voy Of four other ships. Another Off
GER stood in the bow, keeping the
anchor chain taut. ready to shoot
steam into the windlass and get away
at a minutes notice. It is disgrace
to be late starting through the canal.
Any real delay means another 12hour
layover, unless other conveys are start
ing. Schedules on the canal in the
interest of safety to navigation, are
strictly enforced.
Five Ships Go Together.
But the signal didn't come until
o'clock. Five ships were in line for
the west-bound passage. They started
q the same time, Steaming at the
maximum allowed speed OF 6i2 miles
an hour through what looked more
like an overgrown irrigation ditch
than a canal.

Sea by the Israelites on their way to
the Promised Land. But when Moses
led his hosts there was no Great Bit
ter Lake. The present lake was
formed In building the canal. covering
an area that required six months to
inundate.
Waiting for US in Great Bitter Lake
were four more ships, ready to join
our caravan for the remaining jour-
ney through the canal. Our British
pilot left the bridge and French
pilot came aboard 1t costs money for
q ship tc pass through the canal. Our
ship paid charges amounting to $12,-
900, compared with the $500 fee for
the Panama Canal. 1t took us IL
hours to go through the canal, COM
pared with the six to eight hour pas
sage of the Panama Canal. The eyes
Of stern old sea captains grow misty
and their strong voices tremble with
emotion when they speak of the cost
Of going through the canal.
Leaving the Great Bitter Lake We
entered the ditch again for more slow
steaming. When westbound ships
have the right Of way, east-bound
ships tie up, close to shore, to let them
pass NO two moving ships are per-
mitted to pass in the canal. The wash
would damage the observation-disclosures
times of stone, sometimes Of concrete.
And the hazards OF the canal passage
would be increased. Every possible
precaution Is taken against blocking
the canal.
Italian Troops Waiting.
Waiting for us to pass was the Ital-
ian ship Lombardo-the old pre-war
around the world liner Resolute-now
transporting Italian troops to the
Abyssinian front. Three thousand SOL
diers were said to be aboard her. Many
of them crowded the rails to watch us
pass. Some OF them shouted "Duce!
, Duce! Duce!" but there seemed little
enthusiasm In their cheering. Why
should there be? The day before

100000 JOBLESS TO
KEEP RELIEF WORK

WASHINGTON, June IS. (UPC
Two hundred and fifty thousand
jobless World War veterans now
employed on federal work relief
projects will not be discharged
when they receive their govern
ment bonds on Monday, the Works
Progress administration decided
today.
The status of another 100000
needy soldiers remained in doubt,
however, as the postoffice depart
ment completed preparations for
delivering United States treasury
certificates, totaling $1,900,00O,-
900 to 3,508,000 men.
The desire of the federal gov
eminent that veterans hold their
bonds, instead of cashing them led
the WPA to it's decision to retain
bonus recipients on work relief
projects.
