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."
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up your run-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. It helped her. We
believe it wiU.help you.

One of the cleverest of these combi

smart Parisienne by the loveliness of-
the models which are constantly ap
pearing at her place on the Champs
Elysees. Mme. Renee uses the printed
fabrics to form a Bagdad skirt, over

FASHION IN NEW BLOUSES
Probability That the Smartest Will
Reach Well Below Normal Waist
line—As to Sleeves.
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.

Tinsel Cloth Turbans.
Among the various styles of turbans
offered to the trade is one in which
tinsel cloth is used. The best model
in this line, according to the bulletin
of the Retail Millinery Association of
America, is the Hindu draped one
made of this fabric. The drupings ap

Various pretty trims are used—tinsel

beaded flowers. Large models have

This is La Laveuse, the simple
morning frock that Premet is making
for country wear.
skirt of foulard. The neck and abbre
viated sleeves are finished with softly
undulating frills of organdie.
That the success of the foulard dress
is assured Is proved by its remarkable
popularity-nt- the_.P-aris races: large
patterns In black and white being par
ticularly In evidence. There is a great,
demand for both silk and cotton dress
fabrics of large designs.
Mousselines are printed in very
bright colored patterns and in designs
reminiscent of the old shawls of Kash
mir. A Bagdad skirt open all the way
down the front to correspond with an
open bodice gathered In at the waist
line and having kimono sleeves is
made of soft white mousseline printed
in bright red. This dress is worn over
a straight white organdie slip frilled
around the bottom and down the
front, the frilled white slip falling at
least four inches below the mousseline
skirt.
Something Now.
More than a century ago the 111- L
fated Marie Antoinette popularized a |
simple dress, known as La Laveuse, or
the washerwoman dress. Today the
house of Premet Is making charming
frocks of this kind for Its favorite cus
tomers, who- order a half dozen at a
time made in different becoming colors
to w'ear on summer mornings in the
country. 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.
Sometimes when pale-tinted cotton
fabrics are chosen for these gowns
little frills of black organdie are used
for the collar, cuffs and ends of the
apron strings. 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.
For party wear this summer the
prime favorite of tbe little girl Is the
frock cf georgette, trimmed with, tocki
or hemstitching, or with dhhitf em
broider j in contrasting odor.

56 Inches of Saving
—or 60 inches of waste. 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.
