covered that instead of striking a field

One of the disquietinR experiences of
night work in northern Mexico, espe-
cially when secrecy is desired, is the
abundance of game. especially winged
variety. including quail. which is re-
peatedly flushed out of cover at the
expense of considerable racket. On
most of the marches it is so cold at
night that not more than an hour s
consecutive sleep is possible. There
also is danger of drinking alkaline in
stead of pure water, with subsequent
great physical exhaustion.

upon the belief that at last he was def

While thirty-one of the bandits are
known to have been killed. 1t is said
the number may have been considera-

to the number of wounded, although it
is presumably in proportion to the
dead.
The last outrage credited to Villa oc-

miles southeast of Guerrero, on the
Mexico and Orient railroad. Here the

II is not certain that Villa himself
took part in these murders, 1t is
thought improbable that he could have
made his way from Minaca to the San

northeast. in the time elapsing between
the murder of the foreigners and the

Answer, A puncture can be per-
manentiy repaired with very little
trouble and expense by means of
the "cementless patches'' that are
made by nearly all tire manufao-
turers and sold at most garages.
Such patch is circular piece OF
rubber, coated on one side with a
rubber compound which becomes
very sticky when moistened with
gasoline. The tube, around the
puncture is cleaned with gasoline
and roughened with emery cloth and
the sticky side of the patch 10 APP
piled with its center over the punc-
ture and pressed or rolled until it
adheres firmly. These patches give
excellent results when properly ap-
piled.
