Fl Paso, Tex, March 29-Three battaIions of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, Numbering .1,8o0 men, left Columbus, N. M, Crossed the Mexican border and marched south toward Casas Grandes. The fourth battalion of the regiment will be distributed for border patrol duty at Maria, Fabens and Presidio. These endorsements give Gen. Pershing nearly seven thousand troops in Mexican service. The Twenty fourth Infantry, a negro regiment, is the only unit of the American army recruited to full war strength. The men are also among the largest physically of any American soldiers. The sta1wart negroes dipped the regi- mental coIors and cheered as they marched over the line.
 Their destination is unknown, but from the fact that detachments of the Sixth and Sixteenth Regiments, which have been on transport line patrol, have been drawn in closer to Casas Grandes, the presumption is that the negro soldiers will guard the stretch from Casas\ \Grandes to the border /
 The two companies with the regi- mental colors and staff were first across the line today, the other com panies of the three batta1ions follow ing in extended order to avoid the clouds of dust raised by heavy column.
 Gen. Pershing's new base, it was reported here yesterday over the Casas Grandes wires is at Madera, on the Mexico Northwestern Railroad, 13o miles south of Casas GFandes, How far south of Madeira the Aneri- can advance parties are is a matter of c@niecture, but since it is known American troops were sent to Ma derst last Sunday, they are probably now close to Guerrero. far south east of Casas Ctrandes, and in a position to intercept Villa in his retreat. The American troops are known to have gone to Pearson and Madera by train Col. Dodd, it is reported, having with drawn his troops from the Ga1ea- ma, district and taken them back to Casas C}randes, put them there on cars from which the troopse knocked, the sides in order to entrain their mounts and equipm ent.
 These regiments included the Sev- enth and Tenth Cavalry and others not made known, From Casas Gran des Dodd took his command, it is de- cIared to Madera and from there through Balbicora Pass to the Santa Catarina Canyon. The best informa- tion possessed regarding Villa is that

LEADERS '
 TO CONTINUE FIGHT

Washington, March 29.-P1ans Nor continuing the fight for national wo- man suffrage were being considered by suffrage leaders today despite their defeat in the House judiciary commit tee yesterday. The committee voted 10 to g to, postpone indefinitely consid- eration of proposed constitutional amendments for woman suffrage and prohibition.
 Contending that they would have won a victory had their proposal been voted on separately, suffrage leaders now hope to bring the issue to @ vote again when the committee meets to- morrow. It is regarded unlikely, however, that the committee will take favorable action.

sumptuary Lave of Cape Town.

Cape Town once lived under so se- we're a code of sumptuary laws that anything like display was restricted to the governor and his immediate circle. Thus runs article 6 of the Dutch laws against luxury and osten= tation: ''No one less in rank than junior merchant and those among the citizens of equal rank and the wives and daughters only of those who are or have been members of any council shall venture to use umbrellas" In practice this restricted the possession and use or umbrellas to about fifty persons in Cape Town.

A common superstition that the an cients possessed the art of making lamps which would burn forever for long time obtained, and it was claimed that one such lamp was discovered in the tomb of ROsicrucius. Science, how ever, has long set this, together with other superstitions, forever at rest, since it has been demonstrated that fire will not burn in a chamber from which the air has been exhausted.

Bradford Knapp Giues The
Woy Out for Insurance for
An Uncertain Cotton Market

To Farmers, Bankers and Business
Men In Cotton Territory:
On October 7th, 1 sent out a letter
on the subject of Safe Farming. This
month"; want to write you on the sub
ject Of Insurance.
When a business man owns a house
or store or a stock Of goods what
does he do to protect himself! Does
he carry all the risk of loss himself?
No. If he is a wise business man he
pays what they call a premium fee to
some Insurance Company and puts an
Insurance Policy on his property or
his business so that in case of loss he
has something to Fall Back On"
Is not that a pretty safe rule to fol-
low? If SO, why not follow it in farm
ing? What is the present situation
No one knows what will be the price of
cotton next spring or next fall. There
is no use in plunging on an uncertain
ty. No one knows what will happen to
the market If the war continues or if it
closes! pointed out in my letter Of
last month that it is not safe to gamble
or take q chance on the future price Of
cotton.
Then, why not put an insurance
policy on your farming business and
have something to fall back on in case

Golf Story
Is Corrected
On Maiden

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. IA stupid
and misleading golf story has appear
ed to the effect that Stewart Maiden.
East Lake professional, made the
course in 60 on Sunday, thus break
ing all course records, and lettering
his own course record by strokes.
Golfers all over the Southeast, who
have played in championship and other
contests at East Lake are done an in
justice by such a story, and the
course itself is injured by it.
Stewart Maiden made CO on Sun
day, just as the story said, and it was
wonderful golf, but the essential point
which the story failed utterly to state
was that the East Lake golf course has
been changed this winter while they
are working on the regular green's, So
that the regular course, and anywhere
from Z to 10 strokes easier than the
regular course. Consequently, while
MIR. Maiden's SO was spectacular and
magnificent golf, it had no bearing
whatever on the making of new course
records or the breaking of his own 50,
which still stands as the phenomenal
record for the regular East Lake golf
course.
No golfer living or who has ever
lived could play the regular East Lake
course in So.

WALK THIS WAY

Billy (Single) Clifford, in Walk
This Way" his new musical satire,
will be seen at the Opera House, Fri
day, Feb. 25.
This piece is the very latest style,
and is an entertainment of the high
est class. The foundation of it is a
farce, full of complications and lu-
dicrous predicaments. To this is add
ed dozen songs of the popular style
and a company of elegantly gowned
young women, who can sing and dance,
and who are pretty and sprightly. Billy
(Single) Clifford, who is starring i@
the piece, is too well known to need
any introduction. He has been on the
vaudeville stage for many years as one
of the brightest and cleverest singers
and dancers and he has a style and
manner all his own. In his present
vehicle he has a role that fits his per-
sonality to a nicely, and it is one in
which he shines with great brilliancy.
The story of the piece has to do with a
young man who goes in quest of a
young lady whose father is a German
who has lately obtained great wealth
and wants his daughter to marry into
the nobility, and at the same time has
advertised for butler, but of course
gets mixed up in all sorts Of funny
predicaments and has all sorts of
trouble before the plot is finally I'M
tangled. Mr.. Clifford is seen as the
young Englishman and he is given
many brilliant lines and he is caught
in many tight places. There is love
story running through the piece also,
and it forms one of the very interesting
features of the attraction. Mr.. Clifford
has surrounded himself with a good
company. Miss Helen Clark is sing
CT of real songs and has had much ex-
perience in musical comedy. She has
fine voice and splendid stage pres
ence. Dainty Mae Collins, the SOU
tbrette, is a clever mimic Of Scotch
songs, and has gained much distinction
on the vaudeville stage. The three
Weston Sisters, one of the orpheum's
hest musical acts, and Nick Glynn.
These and others, who charmingly
sing and dance, provide an evenings
entertainment long to be remembered.
