BUYS NATURAL.
RESORT NEAR /
STAUNTQN /.

STAUNTON, Va, April Is
Work has begun on the develop.
ment of Natural Chimneys, near
st. Solon, Va, which the new
owner plans to make into a re-
sort.
The chimneys, sometimes called
the "Cyclopean Towers" were pur-
chased some time ago by Col. E.
T. Brown, of New Market, Va,
owner OF Endless Caverns. For
years the grassy meadow at the
foot of the great stone towers has
been the scene of picnics held by
people of the vicinity and many
from Staunton, Is miles away.
These great towers of stone rear
their heads from 20 to 105 feet
above the surrounding meadow.
There are five of the chimneys in
all. standing in a group just in
front of a cliff. A path leads up
the cliff, making the back of the
towers accessible to a good climber.
Tradition says the towers were
used by Indians as lookout towers.
After the purchase of the Chin
neys and tract of adjoining land
by Colonel Brown, there was a
movement to change the name of
the postoffice at Mt. Solon, Va. to
Natural Chimneys. The project,
however, came to naught. when it
was defeated nv a vote of the
citizens of the town.
The new owner says he will
erect a modern hotel and that
there will be provisions made for
swimming, boating, ETC., on the
river nearby.
Many tourists who have seen the
Natural Chimneys say they COM
prise natural wonder equal to
the far-famed Natural Bridge of
Virginia.

the third expansion which will
bring the field to 61O acres will cost
about $4,000, 900. The additional
expansion to the capacity of $50
acres can be done as need requires,
Major Dawson said.
Safety . Factor l.,
The other sites suggested for
airports are not to be compared.
Major Dawson said, with Gravelly
Point as a flying field, due to the
fact that conditions in the neighbor-
hood of the proposed airports are
such as to prevent expansion when
needed or desired.
Then, too, he points out that the
factor Of safety at Grayelly Point
must be considered as there are no
tall buildings offering flying haz-
ards, andI seaplanes can use the
airport just as well as the land
planes, water facilities being avail.
able on two sides OF the point.
Washington, Major Dawson said,
is the only city in the country that
will be able, If GravelIy Point is
selected. to have an airport with
both land and water facilities within
the heart of the city.

REBELS
by Times Staff and international

NOGALES, Ariz., April is U.N,s)
American Army commanders
along the border are taking no
chances on the Mexican revolution
boiling over" into the United
States in its last stages.
Today they completed plans for
the distribution of troops and air
planes along the Arizona-Sonora
border and established headquarters
here.
Arrival late today of $50 men Of
the Twentieth Infantry from Fort
D. A. Russell, Wyo.. will increase
the soldiery in Nogales to 1900;
the strongest American concentra.
tion anywhere Immediately on the
border.
Twenty airplanes also will reach
here today from Fort Huachuca,
Ariz., and with the ground forces
will use Nogales as the main base.
The remaining 800 men Of the
Twentieth Infantry will go into
camp at Bisbee. Ariz., while 400
Seventh Regiment Cavalrymen from
Fort Bliss, Tex, viii be stationed
at Douglas, Ariz.
Kick Or Two Left
Reports trickling over the line
indicate that while the revolution
may be on its last legs it still has
a vigorous kick or two left. The
garrison Of the adjoining Mexican
town of Nogales has been strength
ened by fresh arrivals. while heavy
concentration Of rebels is reported
taking place south of here.
It is considered possible that the
insurrectos will put up fight In
this vicinity rather than abjectly
surrender. With this revolt destined
to go down in history as practically
battleless, final fight would soothe
rebel pride, if nothing more.
Troops All Ready
The strongest American patrols
viii be maintained between Nogales
and Naco. 1t is this stretch where
the rebels are expected to swarm
into the United States-perhaps
peacefully, perhaps Motif their
army breaks up.
Decision to concentrate American
troops and airplanes here followed
a conference today Of civic officials
and Army commanders.
Ell PASo, Tex. April IS Q.N.S).
Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan and his
federal army were in Juarez today
hot in pursuit of rebel forces that
have fled into Sonora. The federal
leaders troops consist OF several
thousand infantry and cavalry.
Remnants Of the harassed rebel
armies are concentrating in Sonora
along the international border
where as a last resort the leaders
can take refuge in the United States.
The revolutionary forces are fear
fully shattered. Following the
flight of Gen. Francisco Manzo into
the United States last Friday there
were reports that Gen. j. G. Esco-
bar, himself would follow Marizo
across the border.
There were also reports that Esco-
bar and Gen. Fausto Topete had
offered to surrender If the federals
would agree to grant amnesty. Esco-
bar later denied any such overtures.
American soldiers of fortune who
Joined the rebels early in the revolt,
continue to reach the border with
accounts of hardships and disap-
pointments. Among the latest to
arrive was AL Coenen. an airplane
mechanic, who claimed he had been
kidnapped by General Escobar when
the latter passed through here for
Sonora a week ago.

The reason, this location is the
ideal one he pointed out is due to
the fact that as increasing air
travel in coming years will tend
to congestion, the physical location
makes it possible to increase the
size of the airport until it will
finally contain about $50 acres of
land.
Major Dawson said that Wash.
ington is not building an airport
for today or for next year, but for
the need 20 years hence when air
travel will most certainly be the
popular and accepted mode of trans
portation.
$780, 600 Initial Cost
Under the plans prepared by
Major Dawson the airport can be
ready for use at the end of two
years, but it will not be a model
airport nor will it fall within the
