Between the trains and the tenn

there we're even other burned
bridges, and it was believed the
rebel retreat, at least SO far as the
rail lines were concerned. had been
halted. Resort to highways would

by federal troops under General
Almazan.
Brilliant Victory
This officer, whose tWo-day at

and the most decisive victory OF
the revolt, reformed his troops
hoping to "exterminate" the rebel
army, which has been led by Gen.

At Chapultepec castle, residence
of the president, Portes Gil, it was
announced:
1.-The bloody battle which has
been fought during two days al
| Jimenez between the federal army
commanded by General AlmaZan
and the main body of the northern
rebels has resulted in the most
brilliant and definite victory that
the national armies have obtained
in the present campaign"
900 Rebels Killed
Federal commanders estimated
the rebel dead at 600, with many

WASHINGTON, April 3.-When
Senator Charles Curtis Of Kansas
assembled to the vice-presidency OF
the United States he created a
social problem which may require
the tact and diplomacy Of the state
department to smooth over.
Ever since the death Of the wife
Of Mr.. Curtis, Mrs. Dolly Gam,
half-sister Of Curtis, has acted as
his official hostess and he has made
his home with her. With his as
sumption Of the vice-presidency she
becomes second lady in the land,
but-what about her husband, Ed
ward E. Cam, Washington lawyer?
How is he to rank? Is he to be in
vited to official functions? And if
he is, where should he be seated?
Will he be placed ahead Of the
chief justice of the supreme court
or will he sit at the foot Of the
table?
Washington believes Mr.. Cam
will settle the question by effacing
himself from the limelight and per-
hitting his wife to represent the
family in a social way. 1t is most
likely that the sonstant round of
dinners, parties, luncheons and teas
interests him but little and Wash
ington hostesses will not find them
selves taxed with the perlexing
problem of what to do about Ed
ward Cam"
Change About Now
For five years Curtis has made
his home with his sister. Now she
and her husband will make their
home with him. The United States
provides no residence for the vice
president. He must, therefore,
maintain his own establishment.
and he has chosen to live in a
palatial suite at the Mayflower
hotel.
It is difficult for the visitor to
realize that the rooms are part Of
a hotel, since Mrs. Gam has moved
in most Of the furniture from her
own home. Several sitting rooms,
seven baths, a dining room and
kitchen comprise the vice-pres-
ldentlal suite. Mrs. Gam has

Red Cross Officer
Addresses Health
Association Here

A talk by Mrs. Myra Cloudman,
field director Of nurses, midwestern
division Of the Red Cross, with
headquarters at st. Louis, featured
the regular monthly meeting OF the
Public Health Nurses association
held at the city hall Wednesday
morning.
Mrs. Cloudman complimented the
local organization on the work be-
ing done and expressed thanks for
hospitality shown her during a two
day stay here. She answered queS-
tions by members Of the association
and gave advice on local situations.
From here the Red Gross officer
is to 60 to New Braunfels. She ex-
poets to establish a Texas headquar-
tiers at Houston some time in the
near future.
Miss Rachel Pierce, in a SUMMARY
of the work being done in the local
schools, pointed out that scabies and
pediculosis are the most prevalent
cases coming under her observation.
During her course Of inspection
during the past month, 80 pupils
were referred to physicians and Is
to dentists. Five were accompanied
to physicians.

brought her own butler and cook
to the hotel.
For 80 years Dolly Gam has
lived in Washington, a part of its
official life, entertaining and be-
ing entertained. For the next four
years, as her brothers hostess, she
must dine out almost every night,
since 1t is the duty of the vice
president to relieve the president
Of his social obligations and be en-
tertained in his stead.
A ConSisten Booster
Charles Curtis most enthusiastic
booster always has been his sister.
She has stumped for him in Kan
Sas and worked for him in Wash
tngton. When he choose to forsake
his powerful position as majority
leader Of the senate for the vice
presidency, she did everything she
could to help him realize his de-
sire. Now that he has achieved
his goal, she admits she is thrill
3D." but not so thrilled by his pos
ition and her increased social
prestige that she lost her lack Of
p%retenSe and her love of people,
In the rush of events on the eve
Of inauguration she paused to chat
with the writer, show her through
the vice-presidential suite and Of
fer the loan of an evening dress to
wear to a ball in honor of visiting
governors, since this reporter, in
the rush of packing, had forgotten
to bring one to Washington.
Mrs. Gam is fond of clothes,
wears them we'll, possesses a fine
wardrobe, yet, she confides,
Clothes, after all, are unimport-
anti is the people inside Of them
who really matter"
To the best of her ability Mrs
Gam will discharge her duties as
the vice-president's hostess, but. in
between times, she's going to find
time to preserve an atmosphere OF
home In that luxurious hotel suite
with its walls lined with dozens
OF pictures Of Curtis.
And o. the week-ends the trio
perhaps will slip away quietly tc
the old home in Macomb street
with a garden in the rear.
