the Straits of Gibraltar and into
north Africa late today when they
united in a violent bombardment
of Ceuta, rebel base at the tip OF

The surprise attack marked the
first time that the government

at heavily-fortified Ceuta, part OF
embarkation and concentration
for thousands of General Fran
cisco Francois Moroccan and for
eign volunteers and most of his
equipment of war.
The bombardment III miles
across the Straits continued for
several hours and was heard clear
ly here.
Military experts said the 10y
alistS, striking with new vigor in
the wake of their recent victories
on the Spanish fronts, apparently
were taking advantage of reported
armed rebellion among the in
surgent troops in Morocco.
The pride" of the loyalist navy,

while a fleet of planes dumped
tons of explosives on the town.
The wharf, loaded with am
munition and war materials await
ing transport to the rebel oases
at Algeciras, Cadiz and Malaga,
was the main objective of the
bombardment.
Anti-aircraft batteries attempt

Fur Factory About
Ready To Resume
Operations H ere

The Pioneer Fur Company is
expecting to resume operations in
about two weeks following brief
seasonal slump. according to
Manager Henry Platt.
The busy season for fur factor
les is from May to December. Re-
tail stores sell most of their fur
pieces and fur coats from October
to February. but the furS that go
on their racks in early fall are
made during the summer from
samples approved in the spring.
During mid-winter, 1ur factor
les suspend operation except for
a few workers who are kept on
for the purpose of making up
sample coats and fur pieces to be
shown to buyers in the spring.
The local fur company completed
it's semples for this year recently,
and they are now in the company's
shoWrooms in New York City. II
the line meets with the approval
of buyers and the orders begin to
pour in, the factory is prepared
to begin full operation on a few
days notice.
A few girls are working in the
fur factory at present, but most
of them are awaiting the call to
return to work. The call should
come before the end of the month,
Mr.. Platt said yesterday.
