TT. BROWN TWELFTH CAVALRY
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE SUNDAY

No. 2 and an occasional automobile
give the only modern touch to the
scene.
The everlasting problem of water
controls troop movements today In
this country as 1t has throughout
the past. Where recent rains had
left fresh water in pockets in the
arroyo beds the column could halt
to relieve the thirsty horses, other
wise the life giving Rio Grande
controlled the location of each
camp site. Above Roma where the
river bed Is gravel, are many Of the
most beautiful camp sites and
watering places that q horseman
can imagine. Below the little village
Of San Ygnacio the CTS animals or
the regiment. with the riders
mounted. bareback lined ur on the
beach and rode out into the stream
up TO their horses bellies. The high
green banks Of the river, the clear
swiftly flowing water. and the long
line OF eagerly drinking horses the
prettiest picture of the march.
The men and officers Of the 18th
Cavalry are as convinced today as
their predecessors have been, that
the vast empire OF the Rio Grande
Is the cavalryman's paradise.

to the American mainland TO ex-
plore the new world, was an island

stne inaccessible jungle territory Of
tropical Mexico.
This island, called "Isla Mujeres"
or "Women's Island" today is a
sunny strip Of waving cocoanut
palms along the beach Of silver
sand. It is a perfect setting for
a Treasure Island with its many
natural caves.
Female Idols Adored
When the Spanish conquerors
landed at Isla Mujeres they found
a Maya temple where female idols
were adored. Here they set up the
first cross in the New World. upon
the ruins Of the temple. These
ruins have been washed away for
years.
On Isla Mujeres there is an am
bilious little school attended by
about so OF the islands $50 inhab-
1tants. The school has three tea
cheers. As most Mexican rural
schools. this one has a school gar
den. In the garden pink, white.
yellow and blue sea shells are used
by the children to mark off the
patches of lettuce and beans. The
school also maintains an outdoor
theatre, where the children recite
poems, dance their native dances,
and sing their native songs.
Cordial
The Inhabitants of ISla Mujeres
are cordial to visitors. Among the
island jewellers is a venerable old
gentleman who is always pleased
TO welcome strangers. and invari-
ably finds an opportunity in the
conversation to tell them proudly
about his 43 children who live in

the mainland.
Once a month a ship touches the
Island, coming from Progreso, in
Yucatan. Recently this ship left

has been accomplished with its aid
In the way of establishing communi-
cation with the outside world. There
is no post office on the island, and
there is no telegraph service.
One Of the mysteries of the little
island is why 1t should be called
Women's Island. There is nothing
in sight except men. a few dogs, and

Ingrid started her flock just nine

needed a larger coop for them. She
and her father went back into the

erect the shelter. But her father
was taken i'll and died soon after.
Ingrid had friends, however. and
the extension workers in agricul-
ture in the neighborhood banded
together and built a coop for her
from an old mining shack in the
vicinity, according TO the latest i'm

That marked the beginning Of In
