Americans Great Match Users.

Every man, woman and child in
this country uses an average of ten
matches each day." remarked J. A.
Hunter of New York, representative Of
a large match company, 1T is es-
timated that the match manufacturers
OF the United States turn out every
day more than 1700,OO0,00O matches,
OF this output 1,0O0,OO0,OOO are con-
stunned in this country. Our people
have come to be very extrayagant in
the use of matches, A decade ago a
pipe smoker might keep his pipe go
ing by way Of the kitchen fire and a
pipe lighter; today he wouldn't think
of it. The greater use of cigarettes
also has increased the consumption
of matches, as have gas and gasoline
stoves. which are continually turned
off and relighted.
There has been an increased manu-
facture of patent lighters and new
style of gas stove with patent lighter
attached, and these have helped to cut
the sales of matches, but only to a
small extent"

Ell Paso, Tex.-Major General Fun

This request was Immediately COM
piled with by the war department and

Meyer, Va; Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, and
Fort d. A. Russell, Wyo, We're order
ed to the border, Other troops we're
directed to hold themselves in readi-
ness for an instants call for active
service, and it is apparent that the
entire mobile force of the United
States army, within the United States,
will soon be modified upon the Mexi-
can border.
General Gavira at Juarez said that
the cutting of the telegraph and tele-
phone wires to Casas Grandes Tues,
day was undoubtedly the work OF
Villas bandits, but no news was given
out on the subject, it being taken that
most of the action was suppressed.
Villa is reported to have been en-
gagged in action by Carranza troops
south of Casas Grandes at NSman
Quipa and Cruces, but with what re
suit was maintained as a secret.
Increased tension on the border and
a raid by Villa bandits on the Mexico
Northwestern railroad between f.
Paso and Casas Grandes are also fac
tors in determining the unsettled state
Of affairs at the front. Two army
lientenants, ayiators, are reported lost

FIRE DESTROYS MUCH
or PARIS, TEXAS
Estimates of the Property Loss From
the Big Fire Will Range Between
$1O,0oO,00O and $15,oO0ooo.

Paris. TeX.-Estimates Of the prop
erty loss from Tuesdays fire range
from $1O,OO0,0OO to $15,000,OOO. The
first figure is probably the most con-
seryatiye, however. The assessed val
uations of the property facing on the
public square before the fire was $2O,-
100000 and all there is left is the
ground on which the buildings stood
In addition TO the loss on the square,
between ninety and one hundred
blocks in the residential section OF the
town were destroyed, over half OF
which was in the wealthiest portion OF
the town. three persons are known to
be dead and one missing.
Paris, Textile residential and bus
mess district OF Paris Tuesday was de-
stroyed by the rapid spread of a great
wall of flame which made almost a
clean sweep OF that city in six hours
time.
AS far as known there were no
casualties in the Paris fire. This is
regarded as unusual, but the theory is
offered that the conflagration came at
such time as would allow everyone
to leave the danger zones.
The fire, which started shortly after
5 o'clock in the extreme southern por-
ton of the city, has left a funnel
shaped wake of destruction two blocks
wide at the start and from eight to ten
blocks wide. 1t is estimated at one
and a half miles square.
The suffering in Paris is great, ac-
cording to reports. The destruction OF
practically every mercantile establi~h'
ment has cut off the food supply.
Paris has a population of about
twenty thousand souls, of which 40 per
cent are negroes. Of that total it is
estimated at least five thousand are
destitute.
The structures of two national and

churches, the two Paris newspapers

which destroyed the plant and some
1000 bales of cotton, caused a loss Of
