tent each year, until at the present
day, out of an estimated grand to-
tai Of $4,000 such places in these
United States, some are now valued
at $5,000,000 and rented at 100000

No business today is more complex
and exacting in detail or that requires
greater ability in overseeing than the
general control of a large hotel such
as the Barbara Worth, recently
opened up in this city under the su-
pervision of William Penn Clarke
"Shali | not take mine ease at mine

and he was entitled to it as royal
guest, but for the management it's
quite another story, spelling continu~

the 24-hour clock. However, from
what we have seen of Mr.. Clarke's
courteous demeanor and polite atten-
ton to detail in anticipating the re
quirements of guests, he's evidently

In drawing a stupendous design
such as was involved in the execution
of this project, its promoters were
perhaps unwittingly influenced by
Ruskin's memorable phrase .in "The
Seven Lamps of Achitecture":
Therefore when We build, let us
think that we build for ever. Let it
not be for present delight, nor for
present use alone; let it be such work
as our descendants will thank US for,
and let us think, as we lay stone on
stone. that a time is to come when
those stones will, be held sacred be-
cause our hands have touched them,
and that men will say, as they look
upon the labor and wrought substance
of them: "'See! This our fathers did
for us!"

prove somewhat of "white elephant
to its promoters, but, nothing dis

publicity to the district that would
inevitably ensue therefrom, they went
calmly on their way in bringing the
project to a successful termination,
which has now been achieved to the
admiration of all who come to gaze up
on its marvellous beauty of form of
architecture.
The Bell Development Company was
established about three years ago as

clouds in the great European war.
Each afternoon, at the hour named,
biplane will be seen approaching
the fair grounds. The aviator hand
ling this machine in due time will
spot another biplane on the fair
grounds protected by artillery and
soldiers. AS soon as he gets the
range on the biplane located on the
fair grounds, he will begin to drop
bombs at this machine Artillery and
rifles will respond and notify him
that he will have to fight.
Then, the huge motor of the BIZ
plane on the fair grounds will begin
to hum, and up in the air will soar
the machine which the attacking avi-
ator is attempting to destroy.
When the two biplanes are in the
air will be seen the battle in the sky,

each other and using automatic guns

United States Takes Steps TO
Prevent Invasion
CRISIS WITH GEN. CARRANzA

ConstitutionaIist Has Numerically ST.
erior Force Close to Border-VlIla
Will Aid u. S. If Attempt Is MADE
to Invade Texas-Ransers Blamed
for Raids.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The admin
istration is moving all available troops
in the United States to the TeXas
border to REINFORCE the command IN
der Major General Funston now there.
Officials of the administration admit
that a crisis has been reached IN the
relations between the United States
and General Carranza, leader of the
constitutional faction in Mexico.
According to their view Carranza is
threatening an invasion of this coun-
try in order to bring all factions IN
Mexico in his camp to resist common
foe.
Carranza Has Superior Force.
At the present time Carranza has
a numerically superior army close to
the border and would be able, ii he de-
cided to attack, to concentrate from
two to three times as many men in
any one spot within a few hours as
General Funston could concentrate.
In an effort to strengthen General
FustOn's hand the administration has
ordered all troops in Georgia, Ala
bama. Arkansas and Oklahoma to pro-
coed Immediately to the border. Most
of these have already entrained and
are now EN- route.
Reports received from Major Gen
eral Funston indicate that Carranza
soldiers have not only lined up in
menacing attitude across the Rio
Grande, but that some of them have
been participating in the raids into
Texas.
Fears Fighting Will Result.
The administration still hopes that
the trouble will blow over, but it
fears there may be serious clash or
two between the Mexicans and the
Funston forces before it does.
Blame Texas Rangers.
Mr. Arrendondo repeated a state
ment made Sunday that if the Ameri-
can government makes a careful in
vestigation it will become convinced
that such bands who are making
trouble on the border have other orr
gin and are directed by people who
have no connection whatever with the
constitutionalist government and who
reside under the jurisdiction of the
authorities of this country.
Carranza Troops March on Border.

EAGLE PASS, TEX. = A large
body of Carranza troops have arrived

der town and are expected to aid
United States soldiers if necessary in
repelling any attempt to invade
Texas.
