MARINES MARCH.
TO TAKE FIELD
AGAINST SANDING

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. "a Up
The 1000 American marine rein
forcements of the eleventh regiment
now marching into northern Nicar-
aqua to take the field against Angus
tino Sandino, rebel chieftain, will re-
place the detachments of the fifth
regiment which have been on duty
in the department of Nueva Segovia
for the past six months
In the American campaigns to
stamp out the Sandino movement, all
important towns and villages in the
effected region will be garrisoned by
American marines and Nicaraguan
national guards. 1t is hoped that
eventually all the rebels will be forced
out of the district as well as scattered
bands of guerrillas who have been
operating independently, taking adj
vantage of the unsettled conditions.
Colonel Robert H. Dunlap will COM
mand the troops in the field, having
his HEADQUARTERS in the important city
of Ocotal which was the scene last
summer of desperate fight between
the marines and the Sandino forces.
The American marines of the elev-
enth regiment. which left Leon on
Sunday for their 1870 smiles hike to
the north, must pass over rough coun-
try, the roads and trails becoming
more difficult as they penetrate into
the remote mountain and jungle
country.
The construction of 9. road between
the city of Leon near the coast and
Motal, principally for the use of the
military forces, was begun last week
bv j. A. Wiley an American engi-
neer. The Nicaraguan government
has appropriated funds for the road
work and the construction will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
In addition to the practical ad-
vantages of the road it is hoped that
its construction also will have
psychological value in the pacification
of the disturbed areas The road will
pass through many important VII
lagos between Leon and Ocotal and
marine officials believe that continual
passing along it of marines and pack
trains will have a stabilizirlg in
fluence in the territory. Since Leon
as a mail railroad center is geographi-
cally the logical point from which to
ship supplies to Ocotal, the marine
ouartermaster detachment has been
from Managua to that
city.

Where Red Indians
Got Wood for Rorvs

Medicine Bow. Wyo., and the Medi-
cine Bow National forest derive their
names from the fact that in early
years the Indians came there from the
surrounding territory to make their
bows from the mountain mahogany
which grows in abundance In that
vicinity. Here. too, the Indians found
pine trees of certain species which
grew in thick stands, straight, tall and
trim. When overcrowded the trees
were small, and the Indians found
Them desirable for the poles of their
tepees. From this the tree gained the
name of lodgepoie pine.
Now the lodgepole pine is used pri-
marily for railroad ties In the west
ern states. In the Medicine Bow Ma
tional forest 1t is cut under govern
ment regulation, foated down stream
to the nearest railroad town and
shipped to Laramie for preservatlve
treatment. Government supervision
insures the .perpetuation of the supply

Tells HouO Girls Can
Get Line on Fiance

Two angles of the prenuptial state
which women should give careful con-
siderati0n, SO that they may be able
to avoid the pitfalls of marriage. are
pointed out by Doris Webster and
Mary Alden Hopkins in an article in
Liberty.
'First," warn the authors, study
his faults; second observe him when
he is angry. Under the first head list
his failings and decide whether or not
you can endure them; for. while his
charm may disappear, his imperfec-
lions will remain. Decide whether or
not you can live with him for fifty
years. Do not make the common mis-
take of thinking that you can reform
him, even in tiny matters like Ticking
cigarette ashes on the best china.
Taking up the second point, we
advise careful study Of his emotional
reactions. What does he get mad at?
Get line on him when he is twisting
his mouth into a sneer or booming
through his whiskers. How are yon
going to handle him when he is raging
or sulking? One final piece of infor-
nation we bestow upon Questing dam
sells, and it will not do married wonl-
en- any harm to null it over, too: No
human being can change another In

Electric Chair Death
Denounced as Brutal

When the governor of New York
in 1883 signed the bill that abolished
hangings in the state and provided
death by electric shock for certain
classes of criminals, the people OF
New York arose and denounced 1t as
a brutal measure.
1t is hard for the present genera
ton to understand the agitations and
uproars caused by this step. In our
day electricity is a household drudge,
and electrocution has been established
in 10 states.
But in the eighties electrical devel-
opment was just beginning. To the
average citizen there was something
diabolical In the proposal to. inflict
death by such a terrible and unseen
power, Preachers Numbered against
the chair from their pulplts. News
papers condemned it In blistering edi-
torials. Doctors and scientists were
not even sure that electric current
would kill.-Frederick Tisdale, 10

Communities served included, Elk
Neck, Elkton, Cecilton and Perry
vile, one call involving trip to
Chester, Pa, and another to Balti-

the service record is beginning to
edge up toward the six hundred
mark for trips made, an almost un-
dreamed of amount of activity for
less than three years work.
Apparently records in the Amer
can Legion Ambulance Service have
a habit of being broken frequently.
You will notice that new record
for average mileage per trip in any

the high average of 65.75 miles.
