cessful at every point as it advanced

main Mexican federal army drove
steadily toward Torreon today for
the major battle Of the present
revolution.
Columns of cavalry and infantry
converged on the rebel forces Of
General j. Gonzales Escobar at
Torreon from three sides as Minister
of War Plutarco Gales directed an
other federal force toward the
capital of the rebel state Of
Durango.
Loyalist troops at Naco, on the
northern Mexican border, dug
trenches about the city in prepara-
ton for a rebel attack to regain
that area which now separates their
far western and central forces.
President Portes Gil reiterated
his assertion that the revolt was
collapsing and that the last signs
of resistance probably would be
wiped out within two weeks.
Three hundred additional Ameri-
can troops were ordered to protect
the water works of Bisbee and
Naco, Ariz.. from damage in the
fight expected just across the bor-
der from Naco.
Rebel headquarters at Juarez
claimed insurrecto victories in two
engagements with federals Wednes-
day near Saltillo and somewhere
near San Luis Potosi, but these
claims we're discounted somewhat by
American airmen who few over the
terrain and saw government troops
marching uninterruptedly toward
the north.
I. M. Vasquez, Mexican consul
Nogales, Ariz., invited rebel chiefs
to peace meeting" with federal
leaders today and supported Presi-
dent Portes Gils prediction that
the insurrection would die out
within two weeks.

An Interesting case which has oc-

ordinance differs from most others
in that it aims not merely to protect
the property of householders. but to
aid in preserving their health and in
identifying residence districts. 1t pro-
vides that homes shall not be placed
closer together than certain num-
Der of feet, thus insuring better ven
tflation than is now possible in many
residence sections. and compelling
builders to place houses in such a
way as to present well-balanced ap-
pearance.
That a court would support such
an ordinance shows how rapidly the
