Confirmation Lacking.

Because of the extended advance of
the American first line. official con-
firmation of the story of the fight has
not yet been received this morning
although reports in private advises
from Jiminez and Parral relative to
the engagement are regarded as au-
thentic.
The detachment of Mexicans en-.
countered at Troya are said to have
been a rear guard of the Villista
troops which is falling back toward
Torreon and Durango city.
An elaborate ambuscade was ar.
ranged by the Mexicans. the bandits
hiding themselves in gullies along the
rolling hills.
When the American scouts got
within sight of the ambushed Mexi-
cans, the latter began firing which re-
vealed their hiding places and the
Americans were thus enabled to keep
out of the trap.

Woman Heard Report.
A woman who lives near the bank
says that she heard a dull report about
o'clock this morning. Looking out
her bedroom window she says she saw
three men walking west toward the
bridge. along the lawns, apparently to
deaden the sound OF their footsteps.
The woman. however, returned to bed
without giving an alarm.
About o'clock this morning, when
blacksmith opened his shop he dis
covered some of his tools missing and
remarked to a friend that he expect
ed some devilment had been going on
in town last night" They went to
the tank and found the front door un.
locked. Entering the building they
discovered the safe partially wrecked
and furniture and fixtures overturned.
When the bank officials arrived, the
inner safe door was opened and the
money found to be safe. 1t is said
there were several thousand dollars
in the safe, beside negotiable paper of
a considerable amount.
This is the second attempted rob-
berry in Greensboro in recent months.
Some time ago an effort was made to
rob the postoffice.
No trace has been secured of the
thieves who attempted the bank rob-
berry last night. It is believed they
had an automobile which they left at
the edge of town.

Installed in the laboratory are running hot

service so that water power and electrically
operated machines and appliances using gas
and electricity as fuel can readily be tested
TESTS BOTH SCIENTIFIC AND PRAC-
TICAL.
All tests will be practical and free from in
volved engineering details.
For instance, refrigerators are examined Tor
general and detailed construction; the lining
OF the food compartment must have no cracks
and crevices and the drain pipe must be simple
and accessible for easy cleaning. The locks
and hinges must be simple, OF heavy hardware
and rust proof
After this examination thermometers are
placed in different parts OF the provision com
partment and the refrigerator iced for pre-
liminary twenty-four hours. Then the ice
chamber is filled to capacity accurate weigh
ngs being made and kept properly iced tor
the one-hundred consecutive hour test Dur
ing this period readings of the food compart-
ment thermometers and the room temperature
are taken hourly during the day and careful
record kept Of the amount OF ice used. With
these data it is a simple matter to calculate
the efficiency.
How many women know what the ice con-
sumption of an efficient refrigerator should be
and the temperatures that should be main
tanned?
If you possess this knowledge you have
standard for comparison, but still have to &C
cent the statement of the salesman about the
ice consumption and temperatures OF his re-
frgerator

Institute is invaluable We will furnish upon
request a list OF refrigerators that by test have
