Red Lodge Among the

of Electric Refrigeration

That Red Lodge was among the

Electric refrigeration was more or
less new but Red Lodgers were quick
to see its superiority over the old
fashioned ice box. They were cog
INFANT of the fact that an electric
refrigerator kept food both edible and

which necessarily resulted in great

Sandino, with a well trained force

captured last Friday.
Marine planes bombed the rebel
positions increasingly Monday and
Yesterday. 1t was believed they had
done heavy damage.
The planes flew low over the San
dino lines, picking their targets and
dropping 20 pound augmentation
bombs with deadly accuracy. They
reported the execution of their di-
rect hits was tremendous.
The aviators disregarded the anti
aircraft guns with which Sandino s
Inen were reported to be equipped,
but they were greeted with a heavy
tariagc of rifle and machine qua
fire.
FL Chipote is in an inaccessible
spot. reached over narrow and rocky
trails, and an attempt to storm II
will be difficult. Sandino' s troops
were reported cntrcnchcd in bomb
Iroof shelters, dugouts and caves.
No further casualties were report

was among those slightly wounded.
Nothing has been heard of the cas-
