® Practical ¢ y Fashion Hints , Formerly the small boy before reach- ing the “trouser” age was put in kilts, ‘which meant beruffled and befrilled un- derwear and extra sewing and wash- ing for the mother. Today the mother puts both the small boy and his sister in rompers, much to their delight, thus saving herself a wonderful amount of time and energy. No. 7805 is a boy’s suit with a Rus- slan blouse and knickerbockers. The blouse closes down the front, has a long sleeve, a shield and a deep belt. As shown in the {illustration. blue serge is the material used, with a braild- ed trimming section and belt. One of the wash materials, madras or galatea, could be used equally well, omitting the trimming band and using a plain little stitched belt instead of the braid- ed one. This little suit may be made in size 4 with 2% yards of 36 inch material. The pattern is cut in 3 sizes, 2, 4 and 6. This Is a Perfect Pattern.

Presidio, Tex,, Jan. 6.—Twenty-five dhundred federals under personal com- mand of General Salazar sallied forth from Ojinaga and attacked General Ortega’s rebel force as it was maneu- vering to join General “Roderiguez command west of Ojinaga. The battle between the opposing forces waged from four to six miles from Ojinaga for some hours, with the federals having a distinct advantage. After this attack Ortega’s main body drove the federals back toward Ojinaga. General Orozco, who had remained at Ojinaga, rushed 800 rein- forcements to his assistance. This changed the tide. Salazar immediate. ly changed his retreat and from being the pursued became the pursuer. For the first time since the battle of Qjina- &a began seven days ago the federals became aggressive. The rebels were driven from nearly every point of van- tage gained last week by their flerce onslaughts with great loss of life. Estimates based upon the most con- servative statements obtainable from federal and rebel wounded place the losses on both sides during the seven days’ fighting ‘at 600 killed and 1,000 wounded. Of the dead ahout 350 are federals. In the Red Cross hospital here are eighty-seven federal and thirteen rebel wounded, the latter having just begun to send their maimed men across the border. Many wounded are still lying on the battlefield where they fell, PROPOSE TO FIGHT TO DEATH Federals Have No Intention of Seek- ing Refuge Over Border. Ojinaga, Mex., Jan. 6.—(Via army line to Marfa)—All doubt as to the in- tention of the ‘Northern division of the Mexican federal army to defeat the rebels or to stay here until every soldler has died through the exhaus- tion of ammunition, was dispelled by General Francisco Castro and General Ynez Salazar in interviews given by fliem at headquarters. Retreat of federal soldiers across the border to the United States terri- tory would be induced only by some unexpected event, according to the commanders, and even if all soldiers deserted, the generals say, they would remain and die at their posts. General Salazar is commander of the federal volunteers, while General Castro, suffering from a wounded hand, is commander of the general forces. The belief that so large and so im- portant a division of the Mexican army would ask for asylum in a for- eign country was given basis in the flight of the army from Chihuahua about five weeks ago. “It 18 thought that we came to the border so that if we were pursued by Villa’s: rebels we could step across the border,” said General Castro. “Such a plan was preposterous. Communication Opened. “Our forces evacuated Chihuahua because we had been isolated there. We had no way to obtain money to pay the soldiers who remained loyal to Genersl Huerta. and we had no means of communicating with the war department at Mexico City. Our duty was to open a line of communication with the government and escort from Chihuahua citizens who feared they would be murdered by Villa. We se- lected Ojinaga because it is one ot the best natural fortifications in the world.. It also offered a source of communication with Mexico City, as well a8 a port through which we might get provisions. The position is here impregnable. We have ample stores of ammunition and more than fifty fleld pieces. Our losses have been greatly under those of the rebels. “Ortego, who came to attack us on orders from Villa, thought his pres- ence alone would cause us to flee im- mediately to the United States. He was surprised when we resisted him. Our 4,000 loyal soldiers, because of our superior fortifications, are able to resist 10,000 rebels, and there are not that many rebels in the North. Each of us‘is ready to die, should that be necessary, and if we evacuate this place it will not be to a foreign coun- try.” ‘With the proverbial perverseness ot the sex, a German princess shoots her- self because she has to marry a title, while American heiresses kick when they can’t. —Short the nation may be of cows, sheep, goats and other things on which Ppeople feed, but the country apparently never will be short of those who feed on the public.
