Haskin [Continued From Editorial Page] ment pastures. The commissary de partment already uses 800 head monthly, and the demand is steadily growing. The Health Department is also busy. It may be said to have practically eliminated malaria and yellow fever from the canal zone, and is now turn ing; its attention mure particularly to Bubonic plague. The quarantine, of course, is a pretty certain guard against this terrible disease, but the canal zone is in constant touch with infected ports by reason of the traf fic passing through the canal, and the health officials are determined to take no chHnces. Hats are the great car riers of bubonic plague. Hence all the government buildings have been made rat proof. But that is not all. Recently the edict went forth that no chickens were to be kept within the limits of the canal zone. There was a howl of protest from the employes, many of whom kept a few chickens on their premises. They loudly asserted that the anti-chicken proclamation was a violation of individual rights. The government was polite, but firm. It issued a long statement explain ing that rats were above all fond of cjiickens, and were invariably found where chickens were kept. It would be absurd to risk an epidemic of bu bonic plague for the sake of a few eggs and broilers. So now the chick en has disappeared finally and com pletely from the Canal Zone. When Governor Goetlials returned to the United States not long ago. he saijl that the defenses of the Canal Zone made it safe Trom any attack. With international complications aris ing both to east and to west of us, and only one real first-class navy to defend both coasts, the safety of the Panama Canal is a most important consideration. Its coast and harbor defenses have long been considered very adequate, but army officers have asserted 'hat it was far from impreg- "able by land. More troops, they de clared to be necessary, and troops have been pouring into the Canal Zone in small detachments for nearly a year. A few weeks ago a squadron of the Twelfth cavalry reached the canal zone from Galveston. They arc the first mounted troops to be stationed at the canal. The second battalion of the Fourth Field Artillery .soon followed them. The canal garrison now in cludes all of the three main branches of the service, and is generally con ceded to be strong enough for its purpose. Owing to the nature of the country, and the strong coast defenses, the taking of the Panama canal by land would be difficult under any cir cumstances. There are. however, stretches of open country, reaching north and west from the zone over which an invading army could ad vance with great rapidity, and troops are needed to guard these.

Hcil State Champion "Al" Heii, of Allentown, is the new Pennsylvania State amateur target champion. He won the title yesterday afteroon at the State shoot His vic tory is all the more worthy of the championship title because he shat tered a straight string of 100 targets.
