(By The Associated Press)
Rebel headquarters today claimed
an important victory near Escalon
in central Mexico against the federal
advance guard. No news of any big
battle had been received from Mexico
City. however, and the regular dis
patches conllicted with the insurgent
claims.
General Escobar, insurgent COM
mander in chief. reported that 400
fcderals were killed and 1900 wound
ed in q 10 hour battle which began
at noon Sunday.
General Eulogio Ortiz, commander
OF the federal forces was among
those said to have been killed.
The latest dispatches from the fed
eral army on the other hand reported
strong federal forces north of Escalon
Saturday night and Sunday prepar-
Ing to advance on Jiminez
General Almazan, leader Of one Of
the main federal columns, in fact was
reported as far north as Dolores
which Is only short distance south
of Jiminez and is 80 miles north Of
Escalon.
He reported some fighting between
Escalon and Jiminez but placed the
losses as so rebels and . federal
killed. General Ortiz was not men,
toned in his despatch.
The rebels moved into the territory
around Escalon Saturday night. 1t
was reported at rebel headquarters
here. and engaged the federal COM
mand about noon Sunday. fighting
until nightfall. Today rebel de-
tachment was reported to be pursuing
fleeing federal troops toward Torreon.
General Escobar indicated in his re-
port that he would remain in Escalon
today, but would start south tomor-
row, on the heels Of what he char
acterized as "demoralized government
troops"
Two surprises were accredited by the
rebel commander with having
brought his troops victory. The rebel
general said that his march toward
Escalon had not been expected and
consequently the government troops
were not prepared for 1t. The Sec
ond surprise came from the air, he
reported, when IS rebel planes ap-
peared over the battlefield in the
midst OF the lighting.

There are reasons for believing that
this condition is due to a special sensi-

poisons of fatigue: it is aggravated by
emotional upSets by way of the same
mechanisms. It must be treated both
by proper bodily regimen, including
much rest and active elimination, and
by mental means inducing peace of
mind, control, courage to carry on.
The very best cure is happiness. The

thickets; eventually the trail leads out

some one to lean on, while yet told in

will go; it will be easier to endure them
as the confidence in surrounding them

sufficient asset.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August IT.
The first step. toward improving the
presentation Of the talkie Is Douglas
Shearer's postgraduate course In sound
transmission to films being given to a
group of picked men.
Young Shearer, brother Of the IA
nous Norma, Is a genius in sound ef-
fects-not haphazard, temperamental
creature who regards his calling as an
art and himself as an artist, but a cool,
expert young scientist who revels in the
precision Of his craft and in the eXacti-
tude he can bring to 1t.
His class will go forth to all points
of the country to aid exhibitors with
their expert service. Sound and dia-
logue pictures thus will be presented to
the best possible advantage. This will
ultimately make ideal projection in
every theater, even the smallest.
I have heard talkies In studio pro-
lection room virtually perfect. Ground
noises and the ludicrous distorting of
tone so common to talkies were crafty
ingly absent. Then I have taken others
to see the same picture in one Of the
city's large theaters and have been
frozen with horror at the product as
presented to the public on q large scale.
What few people realize is that the
fate of the finished picture lies largely
In the hands of the man In the projec-
ton booth. If he has no adequate
knowledge Of his subject or no fair for
1t, he cannot show the picture in q
correct manner.
He will overamplify in his zeal to
make the very last gallery rows hear

Artificial Flowers as Ornaments
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Among artificial flowers to use as but

Among artificial flowers to use as but
tonhole ornaments for the tailored suit
gardenias are the conventional first
choice. Asters, daisies and other sim
pie, rather fiat flowers are also chosen,
and the newest trick Is to wear two
flowers of the same species in two tones.
The sketch shows a combination of a
brown flower with orange center with
an orange flower with brown center as
worn recently with tailored suit. The
brown hat was trimmed with an orange
and brown flower of the same sort. For
wear on the navy-blue suit smart eff
feet might be achieved by wearing a
beige flower and a blue fiower-of
color slightly brighter than navy-with
the same sort of flower on a navy-blue
hat.
White flowers are attractive when
worn on darker suits or dresses, but
they should never be chosen save by the
woman who is willing to discard the
bouquet after a few Wearings, because
there is nothing that SO quickly mars a
smart costume as flowers that show
touch Of CRIME that comes so soon in
cities nowadays.
For daytime street wear flowers made
OF felt or leather are appropriate, while
for afternoon and evening silk and vel
vet flowers OF more lifelike aspect are
the rule.
Artificial flowers are worn with more
distinction on evening gowns now than
when nine out of every ten evening
dresses you saw had festoon Of flowers
on one shoulder. Now flowers are sell
dom worn on the shoulder, but make
their unexpected appearance at front.

August II. 1S61.-Secretary of the

tiating q loan to the Government OF

Congress. 1t Is to bear interest of 2 3-l0

f1cially upon the value of all the securi-
ties of the Government In the market.
So far, the public has sustained the
Government financially as well as can
possibly be desired. The capitalists of
the Nation have shown a patriotism
that has been very helpful In the pres
ent crisis.
The Government is trying hard to
stop the extravaganza such as usually
occurs when q Nation, after q long
peace, goes to war unprepared. In the
f1rst months of the present conflict
with the Southern States, there were
many leaks and sink holes" through
which much money slid away for doubt

through the seams Of an lily caulked
boat" as The Evening Star expressed
1t today.
But already the War Department has
stopped any number Of such leaks and
is stopping others as fast as their eX-
istence becomes apparent.
officers of the Mount Vernon. which
has just come up the river, contradicted
today the story of the capture OF the
Confederate vessel, George Page, which
gained credence here yesterday owing to
tn firing heard down the river. This
cannonading proved to be of trifiing i'm
portance.
The Confederate batteries at AQUA
Creek opened on the Potomac Flotilla,
apparently to test their range. They
did no other damage than slightly cut
the rigging of the Pocahontas; Tne
vessels of the fiotilla hauled on shore
and the firing ceased.

Claus himself. Who knows?"
In the meantime the captain re-
joying the situation. He must have
confessed to himself that he certainly
didn't look the part. His modish hat,
superbiy fashioned suit and swanky
cane belied his profession.
Finally a serious person. sitting
nearby, took one of the smart youths
aside and informed him that the
gentleman was, indeed. the captain of

man approached. extended his hand
and apologized to the officer for his
lack ot respect and wisecracks. The
captain, being regular fellow, laughed
and told him to forget 1t.
The same captain was annoyed by
socially inclined passengers who sought
his quarters. Frequently they were peo-
pie of prominence or those who had
letters from officials of the line. Once
admitted to his private cabin they re-
manned an interminable length of time,
until it interfered with his duties. The
captain, however, knew his onions.
Secreted beneath his desk top was a
button with which he might summon
his steward. The steward knew his
captain and between them existed a
private code. Unseen by the guests the
captain would push the button. The
steward would enter, whereupon the
skipper said: Steward, I think my
friends here would be pleased to see

How interesting. indeed" gurgled
the guests. They would rise and be
escorted through the door. The steward
knew that when the master mentioned
the flre-control room he wanted to
dismiss visitors courteously. He was
one Of the most able and at the same
time most popular shippers sailing
the sea.
