ATTACK OX PLANE MADE BY TROOPERS American Machine^ Shot at by Mexican Cayalrpmen. Odd Reason Assigned. San Antonio, Sept. 3.—Mexican cav alry troops fired on an American army airplane near Laredo Tuesday morn ing because it was flying sa low that it frightened the horses while grazing, causing them to scatter, according to an official statement received today by the Mexican consul at San Antonio from Consul Garcia at Laredo. me attack resulted in the slight in- jury of Capt. David W. MoNabb, who was flying the plane with Lieut, von deB. Johnson. Several bullets pierced the plane. « It was the purpose of the Merican troops to merely cause the American aviators to fly higher and cease scar ing the horses, the statement said. The communication did not indicate the altiude of the airplane at the time the Mexican troopers fired upon it, except that it was flying “very low." t These reports, it was said, showed that the American aviators were in Texas territory at all times except for a few' seconds when they attempted ascehd rapidly to .escape the bullets and circle away. A report from the aviators, accord ing to unofficial information, stated Rio Grande and descended to a low al titude to investigate and that as they passed the point, the Mexicans sud denly rose and opened fire on them. It was indicated that the first of ficial announcement of the attack prob ably would come from Washington. Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, South ern Department commander, refused to give out a statement. Life Was a Misery Mrs. F. M. Jones, of Palmer, Olcla., writes: " From the time I en tered into womanhood ... 1 looked with dread from one month to the next I suffered with my back and bearing-down pain, until life to me was a misery. 1 would think 1 could not endure the pain any longer, and I gradually got worse. . . Nothing seemed to help me until, one day, . • . 1 decided to TAKE The Woman’s Tonic "1 took four bottles," Mrs. Jones goes on to say, "and was not only greatly relieved, but can truthfully say that 1 have not a pain. . . W H has now been two years since 1 tookCardui, and I am still in good = health. . . I would ad vise any woman or girl to use Cardui who is a sufferer from any female trouble."

Designers of blouses appear to have finally decided that the model reach ing well below^the normal waistline is quite the smartest thing. The question •of sleeve length is now being bandied about. French-designed blouses brought over, this season generally show very short sleeves—in fact, some are entirely sleeveless. American women have never favored the very short sleeves for daytime wear, most emphatically not for street wear, but Abe -thrfeerqMrte^tongtli.al£fiKfiJiaa_^ ways ,,been a favorite whether in dresses or blouses. Indications are that the smartest blouses for next sea son will have three-quarter-length sleeves. Handsome laces are used to make blouses for wear with separate skirts of satin, net or chiffon. In this way an unusual and interesting costume may be developed, and as the waist of a dress made of one of the very sheer materials usually wears out before the skirt shows any signs of wear, the sep^ a rate dressy blouse of allover lace is an excellent investment. It enables a woman who is economically Inclined to utilize every bit of available material and wear each frock until it is wholly worn out. For blouses of georgette, chiffon or crepe de chine is a favorite trimming. Artificial flowers are also, effectively used. FASHION’S FANCIES A frock of buff organdie is stitched effectively in green.

J3o simple and easy fitting are these frocks tbat,they are almost negHgeei —- ' The frill aprons which are part of the dresses are demure and charming.

One of these Premet dresses is here illustrated. Any home dressmaker could easily copy It, and with very little work have morning dresses that are distinctive as well as comfortable and useful. Fichus Reismble Quaint Capes. Another pleasing French Idea that could be utilized in having clothes made by a seamstress, or perhaps in having a gown remodeled—for It Is difficult to get remodeling ideas—Is the fichu bodice which Lanvin has empha sized In so many of her dresses this season. This fichu resembles a quaint shoulder cape. It is a simple little thing to make and is picturesque and becoming to all slender women. Mme. Lanvin attaches slim, straight skirts to equally straight, high-walsted bodices, and then drapes around them the fichu, which she makes of lace, em broidery or crepe. When crepe Is used an embroidered pattern of & contrast ing shade is usually worked on it. The one shown In the sketch today Mme. Lanvin made In the colors of France. For the skirt she used crepe the shade of the French soldier’s coat, whereas tbe fichu was red embroidered in blue. Little Girl's Party Dress.

That’s exactly whet you are deciding, one way cr the other, in your selection of wagons for future use. The days cf many wheel heights, odd track widths and various box sizes are— or mighty soon will be—only a memory of times that will never return. A wagon that will riot follow the automobile ruts on an ordinary country road b out of track, because each varying wa£on width has to make its own track by pushing over the rut cf whatever has gone before. That means rut-climbing, extra strain on axles and wheels, greater demands on horses, and shorte r-lived wagons^ It typifies Waste-—with a capital “W*\ — ■— You Imow, and we know, that today the automobile makes the track on practically •every dirt road in the country. That track is 56 inches wide. OlcJ-style wide, track wagons do^ not fit these roads; neither do narrow track. But “auto” track wagons do. This 56-inch wagon eliminates rut-climbing, saves axles and wheels^ pulls easier for the team, rides smoother and gives longer wagon service. And so the “auto” track wagon spells Saving—with a capital “S”. “Auto” track roads and “auto” track wagons are here today and here to stay. It is a safe prediction that all leading wagon manufacturers will build only “auto” track wagons in ,the near future—we find that most of. them are doing it now. Leaders in the field of “auto” track wagon manufacture are Studebaker—wagon specialists since 1852. Come in and talk over with us the Studebaker “Auto Track Wagon and learn more about its many advantages over the old-style wagon. ✓ J. I. Copeland & Bro.
