United Press Leased Wire

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 17.-Five
thousand American troops in this
border territory were on the alert to-
day to guard American territory
against violation following persistent
reports Of revolutionists preparing
for action in Mexico.
Brigadier General r. L. Howe de-
clared American forces had been
forced to take heed of revolutionary
reports, frequent of late. Rebels
gathering near Chihuahua City have
the intention of marching on Juarez,
reports here said.
General j. j. Mendez, commanding
troops at Juarez, sent word to revolu-
tionists declining to join them and
prepared his garrison to oppose any
attack that might be made.
Cantu Reported Leader
Esteban Cantu, former governor of
Lower California. under Carranza,
was to be one of the leaders--if not
the principal leader of the rebel ac-
tivities. Although the reports that
several rebel bands in Chihuahua-
rebel nest in Mexico for decade
were attempting to concentrate and
attack JuareZ, there was some doubt
expressed ON both sides of the river
that this city would be the first OBJ
jective of the ploters.
Word went out today to all Amer
lean authorities along the border to
tighten their lines against smuggling
of arms into Mexico. They were also
instructed to combat any attempted
plotting by Mexicans on this side of
the line.
DISPATCHES or other word received
from interior of Mexico quoted Mexl-
can officials, including General Cal
les, Obregon minister of state, as de-
claring American interests were be-
hind the trouble.

GOLOSHES MUST GO
SAY MALE STUDENTS

!. DENVER, Colo, Feb. 11.-Wool
stockings got by. The low necked
waist wasn't taboo by any means,
Short skirts were even acclaimed. But
the galosh must go.
This is the edict of social leaders
among the. male students at Denver
University as regards co-eds at that
institution. The men believe it's the
girls business to wear what they
want, but the Hopping of the ungain-
ly galosh causes the university males
some concern.
When it's showing or raining, the
galosh is quite the thing, the mer
believe, but they can't understand why
the co-eds want to wear them down
the streets when there's no damp
ness under-foot or overhead.

the league covenant.
By the first step the democrats
have confronted Harding with the
same situation as the republicans
forced on Wilson in the Versailles
treaty fight.
Harding, like Wilson, must answer
a virtual demand for information
which is practically impossible for
him to give. Wilson said he could
not give the records of the Versailles
conferenie because he did not have
them and had no right to make them
public if he had. Harding has no
records of the conversations out OF
which the four power pact grew and
if he had he could not make them
pcblic without the consent of Great
Britain, France and Japan.

nata, was a form with duplex or double head. Tt was propagated in the royal garden at Madrid from roots of Mexican origin, and was named by the botanist Cavanilles in i79l in honor of Andreas Dahl. a dis. tinguished pupil of Llnnaeus."
 The earliest descriptions of. the dahlla were made about 1870 by Francisco Hernandez, Spanish physician who was sent by Phillip II to study the resources of New Spain. and observed many forms of dahlias adorning the gardens of the Mexi- cans. It is interesting to note that at early day types that are usually held to be modern were already de- veloped The dahlia was known to the Aztecs under the Nahuatl name "Acocoxochitl," which may be trans lated ''water-tube- flower" This name was applied to them on account of their hollow jointed stems bearing a certain resemblance to canes used by the Mexicans for water pipes.

I-Iir;IllaXlIuI1S TRIFLEs

IKtrslENDOUs TRIPLES
 If MT. Gilbert Chesterton will par don my borrowing this title from his interesting book, I will give my readers a few golf thoughts on big little things. Imagine that I have at some time or other been face to face with about every possible set of golf circumstances. From this experience l have come to feel the importance of what a less practiced player might regard as immaterial detail.
 As I have stated many times in this department, the whole tendency of my game is towards simplification, but by this I don't mean to imply that there is no such thing as de- tall to be considered. In tight match. attention to some details may represent the difference between winning and losing. And what want to mention here are a few of such small particulars that many players have tendency to over l look. Let me begin right at the tee.
 Low Tee Best It may be "old stuff" to mention here again that q low tee pays big returns because of the practice 1t gives the player for the many shots 1 he must play from the turf, without the aid of nicely posed ball. A player who indulges- in high tee and adjusts himself to it is train- ing himself in a ba habit, because he is inclined to exaggerate the difficulty when he finds his ball on the fairway cuddled up flat to the ground.
 Here is another little idea worth remembering; When there is out of-bound territorlty adjacent to the line of play, drive from that part of the teeing ground farthest from the out-of bounds district. This is merely a confidence builder. but I know that it helps many players. The psychology of the thing seems to be that the nearer one is to the out-of- bounds area the more one seems drawn to play into that area against his will.
 On short holes I frequently dis pense with the tee altogether. Es- pecially If using an iron club. for an iron club is likely to put the ball so high in the air that you do not get the distance you want. When you find you are spelling drives by swinging back too quickly, change from driver to a brassie. The stiffer shaft in the brassie helps to correct the fault.
 Hold Iron Clubs Firmly
 Iron clubs should be held much more firmly tllln wooden. The req son for this is the swing Is shorter and of a more solid nature, so that unless you have a secure grip the iron club is apt to turn in the hand as 1t touches the ground. This diff ficulty is not present in the same degree in wooden clubs because of the broad sole.
 Another thing to always bear in mind is that when the stance has been taken and your mind made up as to the kind of shot you are going to play. put your whole self into 1t without regard to any alternative method, merely letting your mind consider another way of executing the shot produces a hesitating man ner which usually results in a fooz- led shot.

oAHLIA ROOT swEETEN soDAs

By Science Service.
 Washington-Th roots of ths
 dahlia, the beautiful flower that Is
 now blooming al its best. will provide
 the syrup that will sweeten many
 fountain drinks, preserves and des-
 serts of the future, according to Dr.
 W. E. Stafford of the bureau of plant
 industry of the department of agri-
 culture.
 The fleshy roots of this flower are
 not starchy like potatoes put they
 contain substance which Is known
 chemically as inulin. From this,
 sugar SO per cent sweeter than cane ] sugar can be obtained by the chem ist This sugar. known as levuolse or fructose, has heretofore been very expensive and of little commercial importance.
 pr. K. F. Jackson of the United
 States bureau of standards has been making experiments with view to simplifying the methods of extract ing the sugar from the inulin of dahlia roots. The sugar crystalliz with great difficulty and the expense in the past has been chiefly due to the fact that 1t was necessary to use
 much alcohol in eliminating the wa ter.
 For the tests large supply of roots was furnished by Richard Vim cent of White Marsh. Md. president Of the American Dahlia society. and from Df. Jackson's results 1t Is evil dent that the dahlia has an import ant commercial future ahead of it as a sugar plant. Already company has been formed to cultivate thou
 sands of acres of dahlias, the roots of which will be used as source of levulose sugar.
 Attempts have been frequently made to use dahlia roots as food foI animals but, owing to their unpleas- ant taste, they are rejected both by cattle and pigs.
 Tt Is a very wise dahlia that knows it's own father" says Dr. Saf- ford, who has looked into the history of the dahlia family "very few dahlias indeed even know their owr mothers, for the species which oc- cured in nature. after having faller 1 into the hands of horticulturists anc plant breeders. have been crossed and recrossed to such an extent that it is almost impossible to trace their an cestry.

ELBERFELD'S NEW
 TRICK SIGNBOARD
 HARD ON BATTER
Sheridan, Mobile Scribe, Dis- X cusseS Kids Checkered
 Beauty
By BARNEY SHERIDAN Sporting Editor Mobile Registe'

Mobile, June 5.-(Special) -- Kid Elberfeld's latest trick of the trade. painting d checkerboard arrangement directly in line swith the ball when delivered by a southpaw twirler in the Little Rock ball park, has players of the Southern circuit very greatly exercised and President Martin has been asked to take hand and de- mand that the sign be painted out Players of the Mobile and New Or leans clubs are up in arms over the sign and declare that unless some thing Is done someone will be serious ly hurt as they declare 1t is impos sible to see the ball coming up to batter out of this sign the Kid has painted on his ball park fence.
 Catchcrs Can't See, Either
 Del Baker, catcher of the Mobile club, and Roy Ellan, infielder, are two who give expert testimony Baker was catching a game in Little Rock with Lefty" Fuhr working for Mo bile. "One pitch hit me on the arm and another on the shin guard" said Del, and know can at least judge a pitched ball well enough to make it hit in my glove if I can only see it. The ball might just as well have hit the latter in the head and caused serious injury"
 Roy Ellam says he was sent up to pinch hit for a Mobile player and although he walked. he only remem- mers seeing one of four or five pitched balls.
 An Ace of southpnws
 Players point to the Kids latest move in taking on another south. paw. Wally Warmoth, formerly of Nashville, as evidence that he knows what he's doing with that signboard arrangement. He figures that with Rube Robinson, Mike Cyengros and Wally Warmoth, all lefthanders, he'll keep 'em throwing the ball out of that sign at every club forced to visit Little Rock this season.
 Even at that. according to the dope of the Bears and Pels, the Little Rock players are kicking long and loud over the sign. One of them told the Kid he intended getting a bucket of paint and a brush and stealing out there in the dead of night to paint 1t out.
 If you do," the Kid .old him. don't set down your paint bucket or your brush bec%Ise you'll need 'em. You won't play any more ball for me-"
