36 : 30 VEIN WA, | .. TOOP ENTER Town on Both Sides of Bor- der Started From Copper Mining Camp. “Naco, where United States troops have been ordered to protect American property, is a town of about 300 in- habitants lying astride the Mexican border 25 miles west of Douglas, Aria" says a bulletin from the National Geo- graphic Society. “Naco came into existence a genera- ticn ago with the opening of a huge copper mining camp at Cananea, Mex- ico, which lies a few miles south of the border town on a branch of the South- ern Pacific Railrcad. 22obe Buildings and Shacks. *The town is situated in a dusty plain with the San Jose Mountain of Sonora rising above it to the south and the Huachuca Mountain range lying to the west. “Before the advent of the railroad huge high-wheeled freight wagons and stage coaches, drawn by 8 or 10 horses, plied between Tombstone and Bisbee, Ariz, and nearby Mexican towns, cross- ing the border at Naco. Then Naco was a small settlement with red adobe houses and weather-beaten, wooden shacks, lin- ing a street bisected by the international line. Except for ths additicn of a few similar buildings, a depot, post office and customs house, few changes have taken place in Naco. The American portion of the town, which is mostly residential, is almost lifeless, but the gay border life on the Mexican side re- sounds all over the neighborhood. Raids Across Border Frequent. “To the south of Naco lie the famous American-owned Turkey Track, Can- anea, and San Rafael cattle ranches. In peace time the greatest excitement in Naco during the day is the passing of cattle from Mexico to the United States, and fuel, oil, lumber, food, clothing and other supplies to Mexican points. “In the past, crime and turbulence in Naco frequently brought American troops from the nearest garrisons at Douglas and Fort Huachuca in the Huachuca Mountains, about a day's march from the town. Raids across the border were frequent, and the water works of Bisbee, which are in the border towns, were threatened. Bisbee lies 9 miles north of Naco. ® The water is pumped from Naco wells. “During revolutions, many millions of dollars worth of concentrates and cop- per bars are transported from Mexico into the United States through Naco for protection against confiscation by warring Mexican factions.” _— ‘Woman Invades Desert Alone. ‘There is no such thing as desert ter- rors for Miss Ada Boyland of London, ‘who is spending several months alone among the wild tribesmen of Transjor- dania. When she started on the trip she planned to call on the Emir Abdul- lah, ruler of the country, and then strike with her camels and Arab servants into the Hauran Mountains in search of the Beni-Sakr, the Druses, and the Bedou- ins. “If you trust the natives” she sald, “they will do anything for you. I never wear jewelry or carry much ‘money, so they are not tempted to rob- bery, and I never go armed.” Kin of Ex-Maryland Chief Dies. PHILADELPHIA, March 21 (#).—Mrs. Henrietta T. Burr, 91, a granddaughter of William Paca, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and one time Governor of Maryland, died at her home here yesterday. She was the widow of Charles H. Burr and was born in New York. Unwed Turks, Men And Women, Must Pay Heavy Taxes By the Associated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 21. —Turkey’s swift transition from flourishing harems to bachelor apartments and the first genera- tion of old maids has given rise to official alarm at the possibility of depopulation and to creation of & celibacy tax. ‘This celibacy tax will equal the total of present income and gen- eral taxes and will be imposed on bachelors of from 25 to 45 years in age and spinsters of from 20 to 35, and on childless widows and widowers. ‘Twenty per cent of the revenue of the celibacy tax will be dis- tributed to families with a min- imum of five children.
