CAVALRYM'N RETURN
FROM BANDIT CHASE
Five Outlaws Killed and Six
Suspects Arrested By
Punitive Expedition.

Maria, Tex-Three hundred Ameri-
way back to the Rio Grande through
driving rainstorm after an unsuc-
cessful campaign begun last Tuesday
to overtake the bandits who captured
and held for ransom Lieutenants Har-
old G. Peterson and Poul H. Davis.
The first of the expedition to cross
the border on the return to the Unit
ed States, the pack and supply trains,
reached Ruidosa shortly after $50
o'clock Sunday night. The remainder
of the expedition followed.
Contact with Carranza forces, also
the bandits, and a heavy rain which
wiped out the fresh trails, resulted in
the decision to abandon the chase.
The Mexican federals were encounter
ed Sunday night by scout patrol and
after conference army officials de-
cided to abandon the pursuit. In the
meantime the rain had wiped out the
trails of the bandits. who we're only
a few hours ahead of the Americans.
The punitive expedition is making the
return in single column, with three
cavalry troops leading pack trains,
machine gun troops and other units
following The troops are acting as
rear guards.
The six days below the border re-
suited i'll the killing of four bandits
by troops and the death of one by ma
chine gun bullets from an airplane.
Nine bandits said to be part of the
Renteria band we're captured at Coy
| anne, in a dance hall, by Carranza
forces Reports that Jesus Renterla,
leader of the bandits, had been killed
| were brought to the border, but could
not be confirmed.
1t was announced at Southern de-
partment headquarters that the re-
quest of General Pruneda, Carranza
commanders, for aviators to scout in
the vicinity of Palomas, where a band
of Villistas We're reported, would not
| be granted The reason for the re-
fusal. it was stated, was that the
troops went into Mexico solely for the
| bandits who captured and held Lieu
| tenants Davis and Peterson, and they
were not sent for the purpose of pur'
suing any other bandits.
According to Southern department
headquarters information, Jesus Rem
terra is supposed to be at San Pedro,
in a mountainous district to which
only three trails approach. 1t is not
considered practical to attempt to
reach Renteria with the forces which
| were sent across the border. There
are five towns by the name of San
Pedro in Chihuahua, but the one where
Renteria has gone is supposed to be
| the San Pedro 38 miles south of Chi
| huahua City.
The Palomas referred to in Cen
| eral Pruneda's request is about fifteen
miles southwest of Chihuahua City, it
is believed According to information
cleaned by army scouts, Pancho Villa
is now thought to be in the vicinity
| of .ParraI, but his brother, Hipolito,
| is believed to be at or near San Pedro,
where Renteria is reported to have
goae.

1t had cost her needless climbing,
the arduous labor Of cleaning, the mental

for there were many articles which would
have made aneedy home more comfortable.

A RETURNED young lieutenant semi
"a humorously complained the other
day that hospitality was likely to
do him more harm than war. For since
the few weeks Of his return to America
well-meaning American housekeepers

sisted in overlooking him II they pos
sibly could. Even in the most modest
homes a uniformed man at dinner meant
q meal so generous or elaborate that II
was uncomfortable.
After our years Of war-imposec
economy there is likely to be sharp
reaction toward extravagance In tbs
matter Of food. There is the legitimate
excuse that we want to be as hospitable

seas. We feel like gorging them with
the dainties they have missed for so
long. And In thus entertaining them we
get back to the old American habit OF
an over-supplied table.
The boys can stand good deal OF this
kind OF coddling for a little while. but
It Is essential that we guard against the
tendency to make a permanent habit OF

Americans have always had . ten
dency to overeat. The habit OF having
meat twice q day was almost universal
in pre-war times. and In many sections
of the country meat at breakfast-as
well as at luncheon and dinner-was not
unusual. From q dietetic standpoint
nothing could be much worse.
Also this custom Of heavy. elaborate
meals two or three times . day made the
day OF the housekeeper = long and weary
one. It has not been mere housekeeping
that made so many women tired and
cross. 1t has been the superfiuous house

lily demanded big meals or were overly
fussy, or the misguided but well mean
Ing housekeeper believed that only BY
serving many varieties and large guam
titles Of food was she doing the right
thing for the family.
We have seen during war times that
much food and many kinds OF food are
not necessary. 1t isn't essential for the
housekeeper to stand over pots all day

TWO or three meals day In order ia
tempt the appetite and sustain the

Do We Know Our Civ?

IN URING the war the branches of the
Hi Girls Patriotic league performed
" valuable service in keeping young
girls in communities near the environments
and in the cities constructively occupied.
They performed patriotic tasks and con-
tributed in many ways to upholding the
morale of soldiers and community alike.
Today the league is still finding for itself
means of patriotic service. In Spring
field, Mass, where there are 20 units of the
Girls Patriotic league, that organization
is commencing a movement which will
make all it's girls better fitted for their flu
ture citizenship. The work is to be done
through a;''Know Your City, campaign
which will link up the high school civics
course with practical understanding OF
the problems of municipal administration
in Springfield. The girls will hear talks on
civic affairs, social welfare work and gen
eral community life.
The criticism that New Workers know
less about their own city than do outsiders
is applicable to jewellers in many another
city or small town. 1t has probably been
true to a considerable extent OF Spring
field. However, as the girls Of the league
begin to know their city, their elders are
going to know it better, too. If the cam
paign is properly conducted there is going
to be new interest taken in needed i'm
provements and reforms and a more intel
ligent effort to correct the mistakes of the
past and avoid them in the future. A
ssKnow Your City, campaign should be
conducive of many beneficial results.

Congresswonen.

JEANETTE RANKIN, the Montana
III congresswoman, is one of the flame
w ducks Of the last campaign, if one
1uay be pardoned SO ungallant phrase.
Miss Rankin need not feel badly about it,
however. Though she may not have COW
cred herself with any particular glory, she
certainly showed as much ability as the av-
erage congressman, and was probably
above the average in conscientious deyo-
ton to her duty.
If there is anything to be learned from
herexperience, it is that women are just as
liable as men to suffer from the vagaries of
political fortune. Politics always was a
precarious business. Women thinking of
adopting it as profession may as well rec
cgnize it. An office is less dependable than
q husband
AS for the return Of congress to 100 per
cent masculinity, the woman-haters need
take no satisfaction from that. It will not
last long. There may soon be crowd OF
women in congress. And the men will
treat them with the same respectful con-
sideration they gave to Miss Rankin, and
everybody will take them as matter of
course, and everything will run along pref
ty much the same as before-except that
some kinds of legislation, especially that
affecting women and children, will be han
died more intelligently, and about half of
the population will be better satisfied.
