BLOODY BATTLE
STILL RAGING
IN T0RREON
Only Meager News Reaches Out
side, but City Has Noe Yet
Fallen, Says Report.

JCAREz, MEXICO March 30
The battle of Torreon is still raging
but Constitutionalst officers declared
to-day that they had no late news OF
the situation in the town, which is
being so bravely defended by General
6efugio Velasco and his Federal
troops.
The military censorship was main
tanned. the interruption Of newspaper
dispatches giving rise to reports that
General Villa had suffered a severe
check in his attempt to capture the
main plaza OF Torreon.
A brief dispatch was received by
General Chao. Governor of Chihua-
hua, shortly after midnight, and he
transmitted it at once to General
Carranza, the Provisional President,
but when asked if he had any i'm
portant news, said:
I'VE have nothing OF importance
new. Fighting is still going on. We
doubt the truth of reports that Cen

reports were true we would have re-
ceived some official notification"

4 direct outgrowth of and pro-
posed supplement to the present in
surance and blue sky" laws is the
law which a prominent legislator en-
poets to offer in the General Assembly
next summer looking to the proven
ton of so-called spite suits in Geor-
gia hereafter
number of States-particularly n
the West-already have enacted laws
of this kind, and hard fight is TO be
made in Georgia to get one through
the Legislature.
AS the Georgia laws now stand, it
is very easy matter to bring a pc
tition for receiver against practically
any sort of business enterprise, nc
matter how solvent; and petitions for
receiverships, no matter how lacking
in merit, invariably are embarrassing
and sometimes hard to explain
Wherefore, any person having a
grievance against an enterprise, real
or imaginary, need only to bring a
reCeivership petition in order to force
either a settlement or costly and in
furious litigation. a sufficient num-
Der of such suits already have been
brought in Georgia to classify them as
spite SUITS which is a very com
prehensive and accurately descriptive
term-and il is against them that this
proposed new legislation is aimed.
The basic idea-the bill has not vet
been worked out in details that It
shall be unlawful hereafter to bring a
petition for a receivership in Georgia
unless good and sufficient bond is
given from which indemnity may be
had in the event the following litiga-
ton shall prove to be trivial, incon-
sequential and unnecessarily hurtfHI
to the enterprise attacked.
Such law, framed to be friend
to legitimate business, but not a shield
to Legitimate concerns, would finl,
no doubt, many warm friends and ad-
vocates in the Legislature.
At all events, the author of the
proposed law-who does not at this
time care to make public his name
feels much encouraged, from some
correspondence already had with fel-
low members, to believe that his law
certainly will pass, and by good
vote.

Don't do 1t, my girls.
MARTHA.
Have You the Hair of q
Musician?

Bald or thin-haired musicians are
unknown. This same may be said
of actors. The reason is that con-
slant appearance before the public
makes constant care of appearance
a habit. And constant care of hair
insures a heavy. attractive growth.
In cleansing the hair 1t is not advis-
able to use a makeshift but always
use a preparation made for sham
pooling only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting a pack
age of canthrox from your drug
gist; dissolve teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water and your shampoo il
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dand-
ruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolv-
ed and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be SO fluffy that IL will
look much heavier than IL is. Its
lustre and softness will also de-
light you. while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.

To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

It Is more important now than
during the period of profuse per-
spiration, to keep the pores clean.
All cosmetics clog the pores. In
cool weather this interferes great
ly with elimination of waste mate
rial, injuring instead of aiding the
complexion. Ordinary mercolized
wax serves all the purposes of
creams, powders and rouges, giving
far better results. 1t actually peels
off an offensive skin, at the same
time unclogging the pores. Minute
particles of scarf skin come off day
by day. causing not the least pain
or discomfort. Gradually the
healthier, younger skin beneath
peeps out, and in less than a fort
night you have a lovelier complex
Ion than you ever dreamed of ac-
curing. Mercolized wax, obtaina-
BILE at any drug store, is spread on
nightly like cold cream and washed
off mornings. One ounce usually
suffices.
For removing wrinkles, without
stopping the pores with pasty stuff
here's a never-failing formula: 1
