STRUCTURE AND GROWTH
 OF HAIR.

The hair is a modification of projection from or derivaJive of the epidernis. The hair is fed or nouE- ished, therefore. just as the nails and the skin are. All of these epi- dermal structures are influenced by the general nutritioral condition ard the hair and the nails are subject to the same nutritional in- duence as that which determines the condition, growth and health of the skin.
 The hair shaft is not hollow and does not "bleed" when cut, the hair being nourished through it's root the roots, embedded in the cuplike depressions in the swim called fol- licles, are supplied with arteries and veins.
 The hair roots and follicles are mostly oblique (slanting) in refer ence to the surface = except the coarse hairs in ear canals, nostrils and edges of eyelids 0ashesl which are perpendicular The hairs on the head and over the body surface generally have minute muscles att tached to their slanting shafts. When these muscles (called arrec- torres pilorum) contract under the stimulus of cold or fright, they make the hairs stand out or "on end" This gives the skin surfaces where the hairs are almost invisib- ly fine down the appearance of ''gooseflesh' (cutis anserina).
 The obliquity of the hair of head, beard and entire body (hair covers the entire body surface except palms, soles. preputial and labial surfaces and backs of tremina1 pha- langes of fingers and toes) follows constant pattern of whorls, from the crown of head toward the left behind and around toward the right in front, as a man, who slaves himself is well aware. On the backs of the hand and arms and the legs and feet the hairs slant outwardS, likewise on tahe backs of the fingers and toes.
 When a hair on body or head, an eyebrow or an eyelash is epilated or plucked, a new one grows in six or eight weeks, it fully developed in three months.
 Hair on the scalp grows at the rate of one-half inch a month. little more in young persons and in summer, a little less in older per- sons and nj winter.
 Wilson calculated the average adults scalp has 10000 hairs. Stel- wagon found person with light blond hair had 10000 hairs on head; one with red hair only 90,000 hairs; one with brown hair, 109, GOO hairs; one with black hair 108,00O.
 The hair on the head of woman is coarser than that of man with hair of the same color. Blond or light colored hair is usually finer Smaller diameter( than brunei or dark colored hair.
 Straight hair has a round shaft contour; curly or wavy hair has an oval or fiattened contour Natural ly curled or wavy hair becomes more curly or wavy when the air is very humid or moist or damp: artifically curled or waved hair loses Its curl or wave in damp weather.

This is the moment when the sweat of our toll can save the blood of our sons." Actually at this very mo- ment some of the bloodiest fight ing of this whole war is taking place on the western front.

the spring of 1912 to spearhead
the assault which drove the Japs
from the Solomon Islands. He
noted a tremendous expansion of
the camp in physical facilities and
in training programs.
In his address to the officers,
the commandant emphasized that
casualties had to be replaced
promptly by competently trained
men in order to maintain the mo-
-ale and peak fighting strength.
He said he was impressed by the
earnestness of both instructors and
men receiving instruction here.
General Vandegrift then turned
to the two types Of warfare in
which the Marines have engaged
driving the Japs back in the Pa
cific-jungle warfare, like that on
Guadalcanal and the larger is
lands, and seizure of atolls. like
Tarawa. There were initial losses
on the larger islands," he said.
but later casualties were not
alone from Jap bullets, malaria
and tropical diseases took their
toll. When these factors are taken
into consideration, the assumption
Of atolls is less costly"
The commandant paid tribute to
the work of supporting Naval
forces at Tarawa. He said the war;
ships and aircraft had done every
thing Marine officers expected
them to do.
'"The bombardment was better
at Tarawa than at Guadalcanal, -
he said, cit didn't knock all the
machine guns and 20 nm. Nc
bombardment ever does, but it did
thoroughly disrupt communications
until beachhead was established
and our forces were strong enough
to overcome them"
The commandant denied that
misjudgment of tide had contrib.
uted to the lose of life at Tarawa.
The tide had nothing to do with
the losses" he said. "the landing
took place nj rip-tide. 1t had
been anticipated"
He concluded by observing that
further casualties were to be ex-
pected. Thorough training is re.
quired to hold losses to a mini
