WASHINGTON, ID. C., Feb. IL.
The United States has made

This admission was made IN
the government Offices here to-
day. Transports have been pre-
pared at Galveston to take troops
to Vera Cruz and other points I'm
Eastern Mexico, and should the
word be given 5000 men will be
rushed Immediately to strategic
points to seize railroads and sup
plies.
1t is said it will take two
months for these troops to reach
Mexico City and meanwhile troops
from the Texas frontier would
also march on the capital.
The American Intervention
plans contemplate modifying the
main American army at Ell Paso,

Ask your druggist for the full

contempt, any other Fig Syrup

Read the label carefully and look
for the name California Fig Syr-

You'll Have TO
Take a Guess
At Spring Hats

This story "fluked" from the
very beginning.
In the first place the city editor
ought not to have sent the meex
reporter to get story about
spring millinery. It's a woman's
page story.
Then the staff photographer
baked. The coward.
The meek reporter got ratified
and didn't get very many facts
Everything went wrong.
When the meek reporter en-
tered a millinery store his knees
shook and his nails bit into the
opening announcement he clecn-
ed in his hand.
He blurted out something to
somebody and somebody else took
him in tow.
The meek reporter looked daz-
ed.
A model Uttered. Horrible mod
ell.
Another inquired his wish.
Lovable model
She told him the Bulgarian col
ors, orange and brown, would pre-
vail.
She told him Numandie feath-
er swould be popular.
She said streamers would be
worn from the hats.
She showed him the popular
question marked feather.
She stated there would be very,
very small hats and very, very
large hats.
She tried on many, many hats.
Only the meek reporter wasn't
looking at the hats any more.

Shame on the meek reporter!

If your daughter is just six or seven
years old and you are beginning to feel
your conscience pinch you at dcceiving
her any longer with the beautiful myth
Of Santa Claus, just silence that con
science and wait until she finds out the
truth for herself
If your daughter has any Illusions
left in this day of dsillusion, let her
keep them. She will feel more resent
ment toward you for shnttcring them
than she will for dccciving her. You
do not think it necessary to tell your
grownup girl all the things you have
discovered about love and matrimony
and thereby terminate her dreams that
those myths are all they seem to be-
do you?
After all. the sweetest part Of girls
life from babyhOod up is the dream
part. Some day she will find out that
there is no Santa Claus, and then she
will find out that there are no fairies.
and then she will find out that ro-
nance doesn't last. and then that mat
rinony has It's thOrns. and then that
women grow old. but why open her
eyes to these things?
Let q child believe i'm Santa Claus
Just rs long rs he or she will and
