BUENOS AIRES, Aug. IT. = A plan by Paraguay to place 100000 Mennonites and Dukhobors from Canada and Mexico in the war torn Gran Chaco region has been revealed by advices from Ascuncion, capital of that country.
 President Eusebio Ayala, the ad- vices state, already has obtained promises of cooperation from Chaco landholders, to whom he indicated that an understanding had been reached with spokesmen for the prospective colonists.
 Depends Upon Wars End
 The project depends upon conclu- sion of the Paraguayan Bolivian war, recently referred for settle mept to the combined good offices of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru.
 It also would require Paraguayan retention of the central Chaco re- zion as far westward as the sixty first parallel. Present battle lines are about 60 miles inside that par allel, but Pafaguayan authorities are counting upon regaining the territory essential to their coloni- zation program.
 If the present fighting should end inconclusively, simmering down to such a status as followed the hostilities of 1928, Paraguay might press the scheme without waiting for treaty fixing definite boun- diary. It regards colonization as more conducive than warfare to a final settlement of the old quarrel. Government Pays Fares
 The financing of the mass mi grafton from another continent and the placing of the farmers upon quickly productive land offer prob lems to which Paraguay also IS giving attention. The Government intends to transport the immi- grants, and land owners have agreed to sell to Paraguay, agri- cultural holdings near the 75,000- acre colony where 10000 Mennon- ties have been settled since 1927
 To bring 100000 new colonists into the Chaco would take ten years, it is estimated, but it would treble the white population. Para quay already obtains from the Chaco about half of the Govern ment revenues.
 Mineral Riches Lacking The new settlers would be ex- empt as are the present Mennon- ite colonists, from compulsory mili- tary service, to which they object on religions grounds. They would govern and police their own com munities.
 Paraguay regards the future of the Chaco as lying essentially in agriculture and livestock, despite the impression that the region is

Electric Car Gives Way
to Motor Bus in Texas

Fort Worth, Texas-In much the
same way that horse-drawn trolleys
years ago gave way to electric cars,
here, so the electric cars are giving
way to motor busses.
Thirty per cent of the entire trac-
ton system of Fort Worth now is
motorized. AS electric trolleys wear
out, they are replaced by buses, so
that within a short while the entire
system will be buses.
Fort Worth is the second large
Texas city to inaugurate abandonment
of electric cars. San Antonio already
has entirely replaced electric trolleys
with BUSES.
Cheaper operation of buses, lack of
need Of expensive trackage, and faster
service are the reasons given for the
transition.

First Shower Bath in
New Orleans Discovered

New Orleans.-What is thought to
have been the first shower bath ever
installed in New Orleans has just been
located through bathroom contest"
conducted by local newspaper.
The bath was installed in 1778, in
days when bathing was considered I'M
healthy, and the Versailles palace
sported only one tub. Perfume, the
paper reports, was sold and used plen-
tifully in those days.
The shower is attached over a heavy
iron tub encased in rare old mahog-
any. The bath, while long outmoded
by more modern inventions, is valu-
able as relic of New Orleans days,
when bathing facilities generally con-
sisted of wine barrel sawed in half
and filed with muddy water from the
Mississippi.
