CARRANZA TROOPS
BLAMED FOR TROUBLE
Mexican Affairs to be Discuss
ed in New York Today.
Carranza May be Civ
en- a Chance.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Sept 1S.
Shoot on sight any person who
fires into United States territory from
the Mexican side!" was the order is
sued today to American troops who
are guarding the border.
Not an American soldier was
wounded in the fight between United
States CaValrymen and CarranZista
troopers at Donna on Friday in which
Is Mexicaus were killed and three
seriously wounded, according to off,
cial information from the American
military authorities. Donna is on the
Rio Grande 80 miles north of Browns
Vile. The vigilance of the United
States patrols there has been increas-
ed as a result of fears that the MeM-
cans may try to make a surprise at
tack.
High military officials have taken
the stand that American soldiers are
warranted in firing across the Rio
Grande at Mexicans who are shooting
at United States property and this con-
clusion resulted in the order to shoot
to kill'' issued today.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-Carranza
soldiers at Matamoras started the fir
ing across the Rio Grande at Browns

American troopers yesterday, and

American troops on the border. TO

American casualties.

Simple Design.

First make a straight. narrow slip of

belt Just under the bust. and ribbon
straps across the shoulders to hold
up the little gathered waist. Attach
a tunic Of pale blue chiffon to this
slip. about at the hips. and drop over
it second tunic from the high belt.
Slash each tunic up at the front in q
deep point and edge both tunics with
lace insertion. The upper tunic will
fall below the hip in front and almost
to the knees at back: the lower tunic
will hang at the back: but slope up to
reveal the feet in front. Tie b sash
Of peach-pink satin ribbon against the
lace-edged upper tunic where the apex
Of the slope comes in front. Now
make kimono-shaped coat of net-top
lace with the border at the bottom.
This is to fall six inches below the
satin belt over the upper tunic of blue
chiffon. Edge the v-neck in the lace
tunic or coat with lace insertion and
trim the very short sleeves in the
same way. Several little bows Of pink
ribbon will make the lace tunic gay
and charmingly in keeping with the

r he idea originated with Buncn
! Jefferson. You can always count
on Bunch having a few freak ideas In
the belfry where he keeps his butter
lies.
Bunch and his wife, Alice. live out
in Westchester county, about half a
mile from Uncle Peters bungalow.
where friend wife and / are spending
the winter.
The fact that Uncle Peter and Aunt
Martha had decided to give US a party
was the inspiration for Bunch's bril-
liant idea.
Listen, john" he macchiavellied;
mot one of this push out here knows
thing about the tango. Most of them
have a foolish idea that it's wicked
institution invented by the devil who
sold his patent rights to the Evil-Do-
ers association. Now. I'll tell you
what we'll do. John: Well put them
wise. Well take about two lessons
from good instructor in town and oh
the night Of the party we'll make the
hit Of our lives teaching them all to
tango. Are you James to the POSSIBLE
ities?"
1t listens like a good SPIEL" /
agreed; but will a couple Of lessons
be enough for us?"
Sure" he came back; we're not
couple of Patsys with the pump!
We can learn enough in two lessons to
make good in this boob community.
Why, we'll start a tango craze out
here that will put life and ginger in
the whole outfit and presently they'll
be putting up statues in our honor"
Well, to make a long story lose its
cunning. we made arrangements next
day with key Schwartz. dancing in
structor. to explain the mysteries of
this modern home-wrecking PROPOSE
ton known as the tango. and paid him
in advance the sum of 500.
1t seemed to me that hundred iron
men in advance was nifty little price
for two lessons, but Bunch assured me
the price was reasonable on account of
the prevalence of rich scholars willing
to divide their patrimony with any
body who could teach their feet to
behave in time to the music.
We made an appointment to meet
key at his studio" for our first les
son the following afternoon. Then

PRETTY CORSET COVER
LATEST MODEL IS NOT At ALL

use a yard and an eighth for the

for the average woman. The material
Is doubled, laid fiat. and a crescent
taken out at the fold. creating an oval
opening for the head to pass through.
A second crescent is taken out at the
raw edges. and the ends turned up to
form hem. The long ends are finished
with a narrow hem and trimmed to
suit the sewers fancy: also the neck.
A frill Of lace is a pretty finish, with
baby ribbon run through eyelets an

be lightly decorated.
Lastly, the hens are run through
with an elastic fitted ut the ends with
