TO MAKE CAMP BED
 OUT IN THE WOODS

'Rouging it. in the woods is a ia vorite form of vacation for many who loving the great outdoors, like to get all the way back to nature" when they have the opportunity. When camp is pitched for stay of a few days there are some comforts which nature unassisted. can not supply. One of these is a bed But with a little help, nature can supply even this. Popular -nechanics offers the following meth cd of constructing a comfortable bed which can be made wholly in the camp.
 In many camping places, balsam branches. or moss, are available Tor improvising mattresses. Used in con- nection with the bed made on the spot, such d mattress substitute provides q comfort that adds to the joys of camp ing.
 To make it. cut four six-foot poles of nearly the same weight and one | inch in diameter at the small end. These saplings should have a fork about two and one-half feet from the | lower ends, as resting places for the crossbarS Then cut two poles two inches in diameter and three and one | half feet long, and two smaller poles three feet long. Also cut two forked poles, four and one-half feet long for ! the diagonal braces. Place two of the l long poles crossing each other, one foot from the ground Set up the second pair similarly. Fix the crossbars into place in the crotches, the ends of the
 crotch branches being fastened un- der the opposite crossbar.
 The end bars are fixed to the crossed
 poles by means of short rope loops. The mattress is placed on springy poles l nnt lnt, T l alternating thick and thin ends The moss is laid over the poles and the bal sam branches spread on thickly Blank ! cts may be used as a cover

WILSON TELESCOPE
 WORLDS GREATEST

Work on the 100-inch reflecting tele- scope at the Mount Wilson observatory. Pasadena, Cal is approaching the final stage and within a few months will be completed. The instrument will he tho largest stellar camera in existence and will collect twice as much light as any other telescope
 From a scientific viewpoint it is an experiment in certain respects. But for the measurement of the heat radia tion of stars and the spectroscopic study of the faintest objects it will yield results commensurate with it's size, according to George Ellery Hale director of the observatory.
 The instrument, contrary to the inn pression held by some is not oesigned to settle the question regarding the ranals of Mars. There is reason for hoping. however, that it will extend the visual boundaries of the universe by making possible the photographing of many millions of stars existing beyond the range of the most powerful tele- scope in present use,

National guard organizations on the bor-
der not already designated to go home
were today advised by Cen. Funston that
'au officers not accountable for public
property, and all enlisted men on leave
or turlough will be ordered to report to
their home department commanders for

stated.
The order was said in military circles
to mean that the government intends
sending all remaining state troops

possible.
The homeward movement of state
troops that is now in progress should
be practically finished by February 20.

Railroad Traffic Between Juarez and
Chihuahua Suspended as Soldiers
Use Equipment.

JUAREZ. Mexico, February 13.-All
passenger traffic has been suspended on
the Mexican Central railroad between
here and Chihuahua City and the
equipment is being used to move troops
to Juarez and into the Casas Grandes
country to oppose the advance of Villa
forces toward the border.
A troop train arrived early today
from Chihuahua with 200 cavalry for
the local garrison, which now numbers
1000 men, according to Gen. Jose Car
los Murguia. Other troop trains are
to bring the remainder of the 1900
cavalrymen from the state capital i'm
mediately.
Gen. Murguia in person will take the
field against Jose Ynez Salazar who is
reported in the vicinity of Palomas, it
is said, and will leave Gen. Pablo Con-
zales in charge here. The Murguia
command will march overland toward
Palomas to engage the Villistas.
Three wounded Carranza soldiers. sur
vivors of the Guzman garrison, which
almost was annihilated by Salazar's
troops Friday, were brought here to-
day.
Precautions Taken Against Raid.
COLUMBUS. n. NJ, February 13.-The
boldness of the band of Villa followers
who have made camp at Palomas, Mex,
only six miles below the international
boundary is interpreted here as political
rather than a military move by Villar.
While the military authorities here
say that another raid on this place by
the Villa forces is not expected. pre-
cautionary measures are being taken,
including instructions to a fleet of air
planes with observers, to make a flight
today along the border in the hope of
obtaining further information about
conditions about Palomas. Persons
here claiming to be in touch with
Villas plans say that the rebels are
making a test case of the occupancy
of Palomas If allowed to occupy the
place undisturbed. other border towns
will be seized, including Juarez. just
across the river from Ell Paso, accord
ing to these persons.
The party south of Columbus is be-
lieved to belong to Jose Inez Salazars
band, estimated at 500 men. Small de-
tachments of it followed up and occu-
lied points abandoned by the Amer
lean expedition on its withdrawal and
have made raids on the Mexican North
west railway. burning bridges and
almost annihilatns the small Car
rama garrison at Guzman.
Ell PASO. Tex, February 13.-The
port of Columbus. n. NJ. will not be
closed because of Villa troops at Pa
lornas according to W. Carpenter. spe-
cial deputy customs collector here. to-
day. Wholesale ammunition smuggling
was reported near Columbus by Ameri-
can cattlemen who arrived here. Am
munition and rifles were said to have
been taken across the border for Sala-
Zar's troops at Palomas
Villa was reported to have been short
of ammunition recently, hence SalaZar's
trip, it was said.
