ment in 1929 and even later Gen. Escobar was
one Of the most respected Mexican officers.
He received half dozen serious wounds during
various campaigns and won renown by his
successful defense of Ciudad Juarez against
the great Pancho Villa in 1919.
Escobar received bullet through the lungs
in leading the cavalry charge which cleared the
city of Villistas in this fight Without assist
ance or leaving the saddle, he rode to the in
ternational bridge Saluted the United States
officers on guard there, informed them that he
was wounded, and was taken to Hotel Dieu,
where American Army men from Fort Bliss
filled his room with flowers and visited him by
the score President Carranza promoted Esco-
bar from colonel to general for this most daring
exploit
The De La Huerta revolution in 1924 and
1925 gave EScobar a chance to win new laurels.
He was one of handful of generals who
manned loyal to the Gales Obregon govern
ment and was the hero of the famous Shelf
of Death battle which broke the back of the
revolt. This bloody struggle along the
Lerma River in Jalsco, during which thousands
of brave Yaqui Indians were slain and drowned.
ESCOBAR still was loyal in the abortive
Gomez-Serrano revolt of 1927. In this af-
fair he had the honor of capturing Gen. Gomez,
who had been his host many times. and having

During the two months which they were in
the field the Escobar armies looted the banks
at Monterrey, Torreon and chihuahua City of
more than 81, 600. 900. The money was never
accounted for after the battle, and Escobar is
charged in Mexico with this theft personally.
In the United States at Tucson, Ariz, he has
been indicted along with score of his follow
ers on charges of conspiracy to violate Presi-
dent Coolidge's arms embargo by arranging for
the smuggling Of airplanes to the rebel forces.
The latter Is not regarded as q serious charge.
Jose Gandara Of Ell Paso, the only person con-
victed in a case Of this character in recent
years, was pardoned last year by President Hoo
yer.
Following his disappearance, Escobar was
ported in Japan, Cuba Canada and Europe
after thrilling airplane and boat trips. Some of
his friends, however, say that he left Mexico
by walking across the lonely Arizona border at
an unguarded spot and boarding the Golden
State Limited. His hiding, they say, has been
more to escape the annoyance of the claims of
his disgruntled followers who have been ban
ished from Mexico and seen their fortunes con-
hscated as the result Of espousing his cause,
rather than from fear Of the charges against
him in either Of the republics

Advice to LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Fears Excess Baggage"

Fears Excess Baggage"
Dear Miss Fairfax-This is
the first time I've ever written
to you. I am 1S and still do
not go out very much with
young men. I have been told
I am not hard to look at" I
weigh about $50 pounds and I
think that is the main reason
I don't get many breaks. Please
help me so that I may be able
to lose that excess baggage.
like q certain young man
very much. He has never taken
me out, although he has come
to my parties and has planned
surprises for me with my girl
friends. I have known him for
quite a while. What can I do
to attract his attention. I do
not see him very often, as he
lives quite far away from me.
JUST EIGHTEEN.
AS you do not state how tall
you are I've no idea how much
overweight you may be. The
best way to reduce Is to cut
out all candy, ice cream sodaS
and pastry. Do not eat between
meals; eat less bread and pota-
toes. II you live home make
beds, sweep or push the vacuum
cleaner. Housework Is q great
reducer. If you are employed
outside the home make it a rule
to wlak part of the way to or
from work every day. It's a
mistake for a young girl to
adopt starvation diets, and
much i'll health, particularly
tuberculosis, has resulted from
them. If the young man has
gone to parties at your house
and helped plan surprises for
you and still doesn't ask you
out, you'll have to wait for q
break, I'm afraid. Why not get
up a foursome party for a
movie; that will reduce the
numbers, and next time he may
suggest making it a twosome.
He "Plays Dead"
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please shelp me as you have
helped others, won't you? My
trouble is, have been going,
up to two months ago, with q
man II years my senior. We
had gone together for q year
and a half and got along
splendidly. Just two months

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Pure Egyptian henna imparts
a red shade to the hair. Henna
compounds are coloring agents
Of varying shades in which
henna is used as the base. The
compounds are proprietary ar
ticles.
Freckles will return upon ex-
posure to wind and sun. They
can, If not too long established,
be kept in allegiance by nightly
applications of peroxide, fol-
lowed by a light smearing of
cold cream. The skin should
be protected from exposure by
a brimmed hat and the gener-
GUS use Of powder. Powder
forms q barricade against the
ravages Of the elements.
When ankles arelarge because
ankle bones are bulky, not
much can be done about them.
If fat Is at fault, get a jump
ing rope and do your stunts
twice a day. Nothing like a
jumping rope to make the fat
cells fly. The same exercise
will fill out skinny legs; it
strengthens muscles.
Pint-Sized girls, girls with
elbows sharp and collar bones
showing, should settle down to
the occupation of fattening
Not difficult when the mind is
put on it. A dish of cereal
every morning, with rienty of
cream and sugar. One egg a
day. Every meal topped off
with a glass of cream and milk,
half and half. And 10 hours
sleep every night. Easy!

Carson corrected her. "At least

In an instant Of commanding
firmness Duke Carson caught
the girl by the wrist with a
pressure so Steel-like that any
resistance would have been pain
full; he stood at her side and
forced her to march with him
downstairs while Connie, her
heart swelling, followed them
and turned on a single soft
shaded light. Carson puS Mary
Smith into a chair, crossed and
closed the door.
"Sit down." he said, method
ically as he seated himself in
front Of her.

Smith protested. II haven't

won't be browbeat."

and I would have died in my
tracks rather than leave before

nounced that all selections were

Hopes Against Hope
AS I stood there, hoping
against hope, Christie Cavany,
one of the directors, came
along. He brushed by me,
turned, and then stopped, star
ing me right in the face.

manded brusquely.
Rose La France!" I promptly
responded.
"You ought to photo we'll" he
said, graSping me by the arm.
Here, come along with mel"
He escorted me through-as !
saw them-the golden portals.
into the presence Of General
Director Woods, who, in turn,
took one look at me, and then,
without comment, ushered me
into the presence Of the mighty
Griffith, himself.
"Gosh!" I thought. Here's
Griffith. David Wark Griffith.
How did I ever get here?"
Whereupon, as usual, when
excited, I did my famous fmita-
ton Of a statue in cheese.
Somehow or other, I knew
that Griffith was going to en-
gage me. I had the feeling in
my bones. Thump! Thump!
Thump! My heart pounded
rhythmically. Hell hire you.
He'll hire you!"
And hire me he did, without
even Photographic test.
But. before he did, he kidded
me quite a bit.
Baby" he said, using the
name which my parents had
always called me, you certainly
do use them big brown eyes to
advantage.
"They remind me, Of a deer
a doe-just gasping out its last
breath. If any one ever saw a
dying doe, they'd never shoot
one again. Your eyes are just
like that. Just like the eyes Of
a dying doe"
Then he made a great cere-
mony about my contract. which
called for SIS a week for the
first three months; $40 at the
end of that, time, and $50 at
the end Of the year. This was
a good contract, however. that
provided, under it's options, for
my pay. regardless of whether
we worked. ''s
On Easy Street
I felt that I was on Easy
Street. I was so elated that I
ran all over town, showing my
contract to everybody I knew.
and doubtlessly creating the i'm
preston that I had lost my
mind.
Fifteen dollars a week for
three months! Not such an
enormous sum, but in those
days, guarantee that I would
have to visit no more door
steps seeking unprotected milk
bottles for my daily susie
nance. Yes, thanks to Griffith,

dawn, were q thing Of the

color was coming back to her
cheeks and fading again, pro-

Of flush on the pallor Of the

her.
"A lot 1t would matter to

Unless she gained eomposure
rather quickly it was evident to
Connie that this highly wrought
up housemaid would cease to be
responsible for what she said or
did. Her own feelings toward
the girl-she was a woman,
really-shifted from curiosity to
pity, from pity to suspicion
while she had been under ex-
