Hundreds Enjoy
Tiipica Concert

Hundreds of Mexicans and Am
ericans heard Juan Torreblanca's s
Tipica orchestra at the Cobarruvas
school in Nogales, Sonora, Thurs
day. 1t was one of the greatest mu-
sical treats enjoyed here in many
years. The concert drew capacity
house, both afternoon and evening.
The orchestra confined it's selec-
tions largely to the work of either
Mexican or Spanish composers. A
more colorful aggregation it would
be difficult to find. Dressed in the
Mexican charro costume, composed
Of the long tight fitting black trous-
ers with silver trimmings along the
outside seams and ending in straps
that fit underneath the instep, soft

Fire is the dread specter of
Mount Vernon. Every known pre-
caution against it is employed.
Guards, expert by training, fly to
their posts at a seconds notice,
and chemicals and water are avail
able for immediate use. Even a
mechanical fire detector is in
stalled.
The ladies of the association,
which has made Mount Vernon
both what it is today and was in
George Washington's time, by their
monumental work earn for them
selves reward which in turn in-
spires them with love of and devo-
tion to their mission.
Each State Has Member.
Each state is entitled to one
member in this body. She is known
as a vice-regent. Usually there are
about thirty-five vice-regentS, for
as vacancies occur much time and
consideration is given to the elec-
tiOn of a new member, who re-
ceives the honor for life.
She must be a woman who will
be in harmony with the ideals of
the organization and imbued with
the traditions of Mount Vernon,
and who, like her associates. will
possess the proper esteem for her
privileged position and show her
devotion by the accomplishment of
her duties.
The work of the regent and vice
regents does not end with council
sessions. During the year they dis
tribute literature on Mount Vernon,
speak to schools and organizations
on the subject, and in every way
spread the ennobling traditions of
the home of George Washington
among the people Of America

WAGE FIGHT TO
Save BUFFALOS
Texans Call on Governor to
Prevent Hunt.
By United Press

bV CNttCU Iftcc
CANYON, Tex, July 29.-Old-
timers of the wild Texas frontier
of bygone days donned their fight
ing clothes again today, intent upon
saving the few remaining descend
ants of the former roaming ruler
of the plains-the buffalo.
With the recent announcement
that the famous buffalo herd on the
Goodnight ranch would be slaugh-
tered in a huge hunt this fall, OPP
position began to form.
Today a fast-growing campaign
was being waged by civic organiza-
tons and individuals who recalled
something of the glory that once
was the buffalos.
The Canyon Chamber Of Com
merce joined civic bodies of nearby
towns in an appeal to Governor
Ross S. Sterling to save at least
part of the herd.
The buffalos are privately owned.
Once they were the pride of the late
Colonel Charles c.. Goodnight. In
recent years, however, they have
multiplied so rapidly that present
owners of the ranch decided upon
the hunt.

United Press STAFF Correspondent

MOSCOW, July "a vital fac
tor in SOVIET Russia's farm program

year. Soviet engineers said pro-
duction would begin Oct. l. Trac-
tors will be turned out for use on
millions of acres in the nations
great grain sowing program next
spring.
The Soviet press hailed the end
of the construction phase as a great
victory for the fve-year plan. It
especially was emphasized that the
work was completed three months
earlier than stipulated in the origi-
nal plans.
The plant, however, will be badly
in need of qualified workers and
administrators unless the hundreds
needed can be trained quickly to ht
into jobs, officials admitted
Groups of experienced men from
other factories will be sent to Khar-
kov. Skilled American mechanics
and engineers, as usual, will help
operate the plant at the outset.
However, the Soviet nation has
become practically independent of
foreign countries in the matter Of
such mechanical products as
motors.
Air-cooled aviation motors, 300
and 400-horse power, are being
made in Soviet factories. They are
said to be as good as any of the
same type available abroad.
The authorities also claim by the
end of the year $4,000 kilometers.
or about $4,000 miles of airlines
for passenger and freight services
will be in operation in the Soviet
union.

Miss Schermerhorn's Intrusion on
Indian Rites Possible Motive.

Miss SChermerhOrn'S OF
Indian Rites Possible Motive.
By United Press
WHITE RIVER, Ariz., July %
Federal authorities investigating the
mysterious Staying Of Henrietta
SCHNEIDER, Columbia university CO.
ed, admitted today that they were
bafled completely.
After five days of intensive IN
vestigation since the girls body was
found on the Apache indian reser-
walton in a rugged canyon seven
miles from here, federal agents
said they were nowhere near a
solution.
Although every Apache in the
state has been under suspicion, OF
fcers admitted the possibility that
an Indian was not guilty.
A possible motive for the crime,
it was said, was seen in the fact
that Miss SCHNEIDER, an anthropol-
ogv student, had witnessed dances
and chants sacred to the Indians.
Those who know the Apaches said
that to intrude upon their tribal
ceremonies was a dangerous pas
time.
