The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-04-03

Field Headquarters American EX-
peditionary Forces, Colonia Dublan,
Chihuahua, April g. Establish
ment of a field bakery, on a Mexican
| plantation near headquarters has re-
leased half a dozen automobiles for
/ other work, which up to day have
been distributing bread baked on the
United States border, among the col
umns of the expedition.
The new field kitchens, comprising
two ovens, each nearly the size of a
garage, are capable of turning out
5,400 one-pound loaves of bread per
day. A one-pound loaf of army bread
is a days ration for soldier in the
field. 1t is about the size of derby
hat, but not SO symmetrical. The
estimated cost Of carrying this bread
from the border to the base in auto
mobile trucks was $50 per day for
gasoline fuel alone. More important
than the saving in money was the
release of automobiles and other
transport facilities for carrying ad-
ditional supplies. The space re-
leased can furnish, for example, a
daily grain supply for about one
regiment of cavalry horses.
Bread is Baked
The bread baked at the new oven
is from native Mexican -four, the first
obtained by the expeditionary col
umns. The ovens were made of ma
tive brick and adobe mud. Each
oven has a large fire box, enclosed
on all sides by very thick brick and
mud walls. A wood fire is built in
this box, burning for about an hour,
until the temperature in the box is
about 600 degrees. Then the fire is
removed quickly, a wet cloth on a
pole wipes out the wooden ashes and
on a wooden ladle with handle
about twenty feet long, dough loaves
are deposited in the fire box. In
about an hour they are done. The
process is repeated every two hours
without interruption, day or night,
the bakers working in eight-hour
shifts. The yeast for this bread has
been made from Mexican potatoes,
in big barrels. A little sugar in put
into the dough.
Military Inventory
Whatever the outcome of the
chance for Villa, it is evident that
the army here in Mexico, under Gen.
Pershing, is being given an actual
test of the military inventions under
service conditions.
More than one type of motor truck
is in use among the fifty-four ma
chimes of this class doing transport
duty. These trucks are under test
in country without roads, where
hill and mountain climbing on rock
trails are necessary if the army is
! to subsist. The big trucks not only
have done all expected of them, but
they have, in several respects, out
done the famous lighter makes of
automobiles in peace-making under
different conditions.
The aviation service is, working
under conditions calculated to bring
out sharply every necessity which
may be considered in increasing the
aeroplane establishment The army
in the field already has met the

into fishing tackle which really
caught fish. The old reliable safety
pin was found to make the best fish
hook, but there were only few
available. For line the men used
small rope or thick cord, and as all
the hoops lacked barbs, each fish
had to be yanked clear out of the
water at the first bite.
Rest Hours
During the rest hours in camp
among the soldiers hardly word of
discussion about the significance of
this Mexican expedition was heard
The officers, however, discussed the
Mexican situation guardedly from
many angles, but all of those in camp
here were outspoken about one de-
sire, namely, to hurry southwark and
join the pursuit of Villa.
Today at headquarters the men
stopped using the creek water, and
obtained well water from shallow
wells dug since the base was estab-
lished here. The change was not
made of fears for the purity of the
creek water, but for convenience
The clear creek with the rocks at the
bottom showing beneath a consider
able depth of water has been in con-
slant use to the men of all commands
for swimming. Now each company
has been allotted a swimming hole,
where all day long yells induced by
icy plungers are heard and where
there is constant line of men mend
ing their daily washing. Drinking
water wells were obtained by drilling
few feet through what appeared
to be dry bottomless dust

Prepare Services
to Stand Pressure

Property owners who have water SER
vices known to be in any way defective
should take steps to have the defects
repaired before the city makes high
pressure test Of the new pump at the
city pumping station. This test will be
made in week or two. Councilman
Mcfarland said today, but public no.
tice of it will be given in advance.
That damage may be done weak and
defective water services is forecasted
by the leaks in services that were
started by the test of the pump that
was made last week. A pressure of los
pounds per square inch was created at
the corner of Main and Center streets
during that test. Immediately plumbers
all over the city were notified Of water
services and tanks that had sprung
leaks in houses. When the next test is
made the pressure will probably be run
up to lis pounds in the business dis
triCt, or a pressure sufficient to throw
a stream of water on top the highest
buildings.
Damage to weak services inside
houses can be prevented by either cut
ting off the water at the meter or in
the street. but this will not prevent
leaks breaking out in the services from
the main to the cut offs.

At the Strand.

There Is no doubt but what Mar
guerite Clark gained several new adj
mirers who pledged eternal allegiance
to her in Miss George Washington
shown ahead of the regular release date
at the Strand Monday night. 1t is
probab Bile that Monday nights audi
ences were the first to see the picture
outside of the exhibitors, for the film
has been shown no where else as yet.
If Miss Clark has been delightful in
her previous pictures, she is absolute
ly captivating in this one. AS Berenice
Summers, a member Of Miss Perkins
school for girls, she is selected by that
worthy woman to be the recipient of
the truth medal, presented by the
George Washington. Truth Societya 1t
is Miss Perkins firm belief that Bere-
nice has never told a lie.
Right here Fate steps in, and in the
remaining reels of the picture Berepice
has to lie SO fast and furiously to keep
out of all sorts of funny situations that
she finally throws the medal away in
despair. The situations would not
sound half SO funny related as they look
on the screen, and must be seen to be
understood and enjoyed. Miss Clark,
however, falls in love with a nice
clean-looking boy. whom she has to
pass off as her husband at first, and
there are plenty of good. wholesome
laughs all the way thru. An excellent
supporting cast is offered, with the
daintiest of scenic effects. Altogether
the picture is thoroughly good one.

AMUSEME N1S.
THE Meier Do Well" Makes Its Bow
at the Casino.

Before a large audience, and aug
mented with a fifteen piece orchestra,
directed by Max Tschauder The Neer
Do Well" by Rex Beach. was pre-
scented in motion pictures at the "a
sino Monday night. The story is OF
the Beach type, virile, full of outdoor
life. strong men and full blooded wom-
en- taking the principal parts, and the
situations are tense and exciting. Ten
reels are used to tell the story, Whlcn
makes the production drag little.
kathlyn Williams, who Is becoming
almost veteran among motion picture
actresses has the principal feminine
role, that of Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt,
and she fills 1t to perfection. Altho
Kathlyn has appeared in more pictures
than many of the present day stars, she
still comes to the front when II comes
10 expressing her emotions we'll on
cinema screen, and in this picture she
keeps the center Of the stage whenever
she appears. and keeps 1t well.
AS Kirk Anthony, the scapegrace son
Of the railroad magnate, Wheeler OAK
man gives a fairly convincing portrayal
of the title role. altho in his scenes
with Mrs. Cortlandt it Is the woman

The familiar story of the young man
who was shipped off 10 Panama foil pw-
ing a football victory celebration. and
how he rose TO a position Of trust thTa
Mrs. Cortlandts influence, and then
married Chiquita, tho not without nu-
merous adventures, is well carried out
in the picture. Scenes actually taken
in Panama, showing parts of the work
on the canal, and scenery in several
places, add TO the interest. Good COM
edy is furnished by the character OF
Allan Allan. a native Jamaican. who
does good work, and gets his laughs in
an unusual way. The best character
work, however, is done all the way thru
by Miss Williams. Her role of bene-
factress TO young Anthony is we'll
brought out. and she carries her later
part. that of the woman desperately
in love with the young fellow, in a
strong, yet dignified way. Even tho
one knows that Anthony did right in
refusing to take Mrs. Cortlandt away
from her husband, yet there is per-
| haps feeling of regret that he pre-
ferred ChiQuita after all
Much was added to the enjoyment Ot
the picture by the excellent playing OF
the large orchestra. The added in
struments were appreciated by all.

CITY PAYS FOR SEWERS,
Council Relieves Properties Assessed
That Already Had Sewers.

AT meeting hsld Monday after
noon the city council authorized a pay
ment OF SS11.5l from the city sewer
fund as relief for property owners
who were assessed for sewers laid this
year where the properties in question
had already been connected with city
sewers. A number of such cases de-
vsloped. They were principally in the
cases Of corner lots, where the prop
city owner had connec, ed with a
sewer in one of the two streets the
property abutted. When a sewer was
laid in the aputting street that did not
have a sewer the city did not assess
the benefit TO the property already
connected with u sewer, but assumed
the cost itself and paid it from the
sewer fund.

MAMMON WILL
SINK SHAFT
NEW COMPANY is FORMED AND
FINANCED TO TAKE OVER AND
OPERATE WELL KNOWN PROP
ERTY LOCATED NEAR PARKER.
The Mammon Gold & Copper com

The Mammon Gold & Copper com
pany is the name of a new corpora
tion which has taken over the Mann
mon-Zeolite group of mining claims,
owned by E. S. Osborne, and located
about ten miles northeast of Parker,
The company is incorporated for one
million dollars, divided into one mill
lion shares of the par value of 81
each.
A large block of the treasury stock
has been subscribed for by a syndi-
cate of bankers, and mine develop
ment work will be inaugurated ON an
extensive scale just as soon as the
details of incorporation have been
completed.
Ed S. Osborne is president of the
company and will have charge of the
property for the syndicate. The Nam
mon-Zeolite was formerly known as
the old w & o. mine, and has been
under development for a number of
years. Immense ore bodies have
been opened up by means of tunnels
snd shaft 70 feet in depth. In
the upper workings approximately
$4,000 tons of copper7gold ore has
been blocked out of an average value
of $25 per ton.
N1 1yfoo
onstrated beyond all question of
doubt that the Mammon is a mine
of considerable magnitude, the COM
pany will continue the sinking of the
70-foot shaft, which at the present
time is all in ore and dipping to-
wards the big ledge which has been
opened on the surface by extensive
tunneling work.
A 301foot vein of gold ore was en-
comtered in the Mammon few
weeks before it closed down last sum-
mer. Specimens showing free gold
In profusion We're quite numerous
and the entire body of ore ran up
into good shipping values.
The MammCn shaft is to be sunk
at least 800 feet deeper, and at that
depth General Manager Osborne says
that he is confident that one of the
largest commercial ore bodies of the
district will be exposed A new hoist
is to be installed at the property at
once and every effort will be put
forth by the management to attain
depth in the shaft as quickly as pos
sible.

ectric motors, the advantage prob
ably being with the engines. The
total head pumped against can be
kept below 40 feet. The shallow
depth of pit required (about 10 feet)
makes possible the use of simple
horizontal centrifugal pumps run by
sloping belts from engines ON the
surface; which is an arrangement of
small first cost, requiring a minimum
of attention and of much durability.
There is no doubt that settlers of
quite limited resources can establish
farm homes on this land, under such
conditions, with justifiable confidence
of success.

favorable to a large yield of water.
Nevertheless when pumped for eight

The pump was then disconnected

cent in amount of water pumped dur

thus bringing up the discharge to

to doubt that an increase In depth

this point of as large yield as that
