. Prz&ti.cql ) Fashion Hints The Russian blouse is one of the most economical as well as one of the most becoming modes of the season. If made In a contrasting material it may be worn with almost any skirt. A very pleasing combination is to have the blouse of a plain material and the skirt of plaid or mixed goods. Velvet and velveteen seem especlal- 1y suited to these Russian designs, and if a bit of fur or marabout is added the effect 18 doubly good. No. 7818 is u design that is appro- priate for ladies or misses. It has a set-in sleeve, a low belt, a small square collar and closes diagonally in front. In this blouse the sleeve is set in without gathers. The home dressmak- eroften finds, after titting a blouse, that there is a bit of fullness at the top of the sleeve which is difficult to get rid of. A good method in a case of this kind is to gather the sleeve slightly, dampen the gathered portion and with a hot iron press flat. This shrinks the material and may be repeated until all DREAM WAS AT LAST REALIZED An Abandoned Task Becomes The ~ Greatest Victory Of The Centuries The abandonment of work on the Panama canal and the admission by the French that the task was beyond them, created a world-wide impres- sion to make a reality of an en- gineer’s. dream. Modern genius soon demonstrated that the work could be satisfactorily completed. The pyramids are a world’s won- der; the Eiffeel Tower is a marvel of engineerng skill; the latest ocean liners are wonders of the ship-build- er's art; but the Panama canal is ne crowning physical achievement of all time.

Presidio, Tex., Jan. 5.—Two thou- sand Mexican refugees, including half-starved women and children and some federal deserters, rushed across the river to the United States to seek protection from the battle at Ojinaga, Mex., opposite here. The battle at Ojinaga became more furious after continuing throughout the night. The besieged federals, who ‘Wwere thrown into a panic at the first onelaught of the rebels, resisted stub- bornly, but were raked by the rebels’ cannon with grape and cannister, Before daybreak ftle artillery fire of the rebels became more furious. Whether they received more ammuni- tion during the night is not known, but there was no cgssation of the cannonading. Scores of . wounded federals who crossed to the American side to seek the ald of the Red Crdss told of heavy losses among the Huetta troops. Scat- tering bullets fell o' the American side, but none was injured. Major McNamee, commanding the American troops at Fresidio, made no attempt to restrain the refugees as’ they forded the river. The women and children were given provisions by ‘the Red Cross society and the wounded were cared for at the hos- pital tents. Two hundred federals made a des- perate sortie in an attempt to cap- ture part of the rebel artillery. They were raked with shrapnel and drlven back with heavy loss. STREETS STREWN WITH DEAD Refugees Tell of Terrible Conditions at Ojinaga. Presidio, Tex., Jan. 5.—A general assault upon Ojinaga by Gemeral Or- tega's Mexican rebels began shortly after midnight and although at day- light the federals still held the town the enemy had advanced on every side. In some cases the rebels even in- vaded the outskirts of the town and engaged the defenders hand to hand. The rebels opened their assault with a terrific cannonading. Both federal and rebel shells burst on the American side and Major McNamee, the commander of the United States patrols, twice sent warning. . His warnings were heeded immediately. None was hit on the American side. Refugees say the streets of Ojinaga _are filled with dead. American army surgeons say they estimate the fed- eral loss during the five days of fight- ing at 400 ‘dead and 450 wounded, and the rebel loss at 300 dead and 800 wounded. Fifteen prisoners captured by the rebels were summarily executed. This action followed similar execu- tions by the Tederals. When General Orozco brought these prisoners before him he ‘ordered that they be shot in the plaza of Ojinaga. When news of it reached General Ortega he issued an order of reprisal; mo guarter will be given or asked. This was expect- ed to imbue the troops on both sidee with the courage of desperation. Rebels who were repulsed in the concerted attack ‘on one position at Ojinaga reported they found the:fed: erals had. slain. all the rebel wounded ‘Card of Thanks ‘We wish to extend our most sin- cere thanks to our friends who so kindly aided us in the sickness, death and burial of our dear (little girl Mr. and Mrs. A.
