Knox Inspeets
Canal Zone
Eyes u. S. Defenses
in VitoI Areo

BALBOA, c. L., Sept. Is -
Up Secretary of the Navy
Knox began an inspection of the
newly strengthened Panama Ca
nal Zone defenses today after a
swift flight here from the Unit
ed States aboard a big Naval
seaplane.
Knox, who last visited this
area in December, 1910, arrived
yesterday afternoon at the Coco
Solo Naval base on the Atlantic
side of the Isthmus, where he
was greeted by Lieut.. Gen.
Frank Andrews, Caribbean de-
Tense zone commander, and Rear
Admiral Clifford Van Hook,
commandment of the 18th Naval
district.
A short time later he took off
for the Pacific side in General
Andrews plane, piloted by the
General himself.
While it was not disclosed
how long the secretary would
remain in the Canal Zone, it was
known that he planned an in
spection of defenses installations
on both sides of the IsthmuS and
it was expected that he also
would call on the President and
Foreign Minister of Panama.
(In Washington the Navy De-
partment said Knox's trip to the
Canal zone was "a routine visit
of inspection" Observers there
recalled, however, that at a
Press conference Sept. IL he
said he expected to depart soon
on a trip to Rio De Janeiro,
pausing en- route at American
baSeS.)
Many improvements h ave
been made in the Panama Canal
defenses since the secretary'S
last visit here. While most of
these cannot be disclosed, the
Navy has announced in recent
months the creation of new
base at Haboga Island, eight
miles off the Pacific entrance es-
tablishment of speedy torpedo
boat patrols and Induction of
former tuna boats into patrol
service.
Knox was accompanied by
Rear Admiral w. o. Spears,
Capt. Frank Beatty and close
friend, Rawleigh Warner.

Smith Is we'll acquainted in

in that city for the past two
years. Prior to 1910, Smith was
manager of the Punch and Judy
theatre at Crosse Pointe for a
number of years.

nurses and 3l8 enlisted men.
They have the equipment, food,
tents and personnel to set up
business within an hour at any
new stand.
The doctors are the finest spe-
cialists obtainable and a soldier
with anything from shrapnel
wounds to tuberculosis is slated
for the most expert treatment.
The 318 enlisted men include
hospital orderlies, druggists, X
ray experts and other specialists.
Currently, officers and men of
these units are in the tents on
the sloping hillside of one
stretch of English meadowland.
The nurses are billeted nearly
twenty miles away in buildings
which belong to another unit.
This doubling up will be over
in a matter of weeks, however,
and then officers, nurses and en-
listed men of Charlotte and the
surrounding area, who sailed not
so long ago on their journey to
war, will be together once again.
The extreme cordially of the
British towards arriving Ameri-
cans has impressed this Char
lotte group. Captain Stanton
Pickens, brother Of Colonel Rob-
ert Pickens of CO headquarters
in the Services OF Supply, was
in Edinburgh recently and he
said people he met during the
trip couldn't have. been friend
lier.
At their barracks, nurses said
they had no complaints. They
would like faster mail service,
of course. And more American
cooking, with few items such
as cole slaW, succotash, apple
pie with ice cream. The dinner
they ate at 5 p. m. on the day
visited them was scrambled
eggs with diced ham loaf, car
rots, potatoes, coffee and raised
sugar doughnuts.
Captain Hunter Jones stated
he had the interesting expert
ence of walking into a London
hospital to watch an operation
and discovered that the operat-
ing room was named the Char
lotte Room" All equipment had
been donated by the Charlotte,
N. c., chapter of Bundles for
Britain.

LITTLE CALL
FOR MEDICOS
They were members of the
Charlotte, NC, Medical Evacua-
ton unit who had been standing
around outside their nearby
mess tent. Their group-leap to
the rescue of the wounded SOL
der was spanked by their long
pent desire for activity.
For the Charlotte unit, like
other Medical Evacuation units
living in tents and temporary
barracks in this rural area have
had, naturally enough, few calls
on their services. They are eager
to get going, and the fact that
they are surrounded by vast
numbers of fellow Americans
who are busy every day march
ing, maneuvering and training
hard to combat action, doesn't
make their enforced idleness
any easier to take.
But these soldiers of the for
cops brigade will not long con-
tinue ruefully to survey this
martial hustle and wonder when
the day will come when they,
too, can get into active service.

dry flat, but without trying to re-

Bread as Toast

Bread gains in flavor and pleasure
in eating when toasted; it is also
more digestible after toasting, espe-
cially for the aged, the infant, and
all weakened digestion or peristal-
sis; bread should be sliced only as
used, and all breads should be sliced
more thinly; before purchasing, look
at the type of loaf and select one
which does not hump at the top;
study the spread-area of the slice,
so that there will be less waste, in
toasting or spreading, and also a
wider, better-proportioned spread
ing surface.

pressure by the women themselves
to assure a successful solution to
the problem.
