REVOLT AT END,
DBREOONWILL
QUIT FIELD
President and Main Force of
Troops Take Possession
of Guadalajara.
By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE,
latentatteaal New* Service. I
GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb.
15.— President Alvaro Obregon’s
active military service In the field
was practically finished today. He
Will remain here for a short time to
round up scattered rebel bands In
the west and then return'’ to
Mexico City to resum< his presi
dential duties. 1
Obregon and his main federal
force triumphantly entered this
city—the feecond largest in the re
public—Thursday afternoon. It had
previously been occupied by federal
cavalry.
There were no ceremonies. The
city had not been damaged as the
rebels fled.
Obregon arrived by train from
Ifapuato accompanied by his staff
and a guard of about 2,000 men.
With a small escort the President
drove from the railway station to
his headquarters. Crowds in the
street stood silently watching the
executive and his officers.
Accompanying the President were
War Secretary Francisco Serrano,
just arrived from the southeastern
front and General Joaquin Amaro,
who commanded the federal army
on the western front under direct
supervision of President Obregon.
Gen. Enrique Estrada, com
mander of the rebels, is reported to
have fled toward Penjamillo, state
of Michoacan, accompanied by
about 2,600 soldiers. A federal force
of about 6,000 is in hot pursuit.

Careless Shampooing |
Spoils the Hair 1
Use Mulsified *
Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Many soaps &nd
prepared shampoos contain too
much free alkali. This dries the
•calp, makes the hair brittle and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo,
Which is pure and greaseless, and
is better than anything else you
can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is suf
ficient to cleanse the hair and
scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub it m.
It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright, lus
trous, fluffy, wavy and easy to
Manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
ofl shampoo at any drug store. It
Is inexpensive, and a few ounces
Will supply every member of the
family for months.

“A two-ton truck made a right"
turn into Seventeenth from S
street, your honor, at such a high
/speed that it ran across Seven
teenth » street before It could
straighten out, and took my left
rAor fender off. K
“The driver parked on Jthe
wrong side, about thirty feet
behind me, jumped out and ran
around the corner of R street.
Public phones are scarce in that
neighborhood, and it was nearly
6 o’clock before I could get a
message to the precinct station.
A He-Clnderella-
“The police had been there only
a few minutes when a Ford sedan
stopped at the corner and the
truck driver stepped out all dress
ed up and twirling a cane—quite
a contrast to the sheepskin coat
and golf cap he had taken around
the corner so rapidly half an
hour before.
“He said the truck was his, and
that it had been stolen from in
front of his shop two or three
hours before. The officer told
him he should have notified the
police two or three hours before,
then, and called the wagon.
Meets Noted Club Man
Boob: “I had quit work for the
day, and had about finished
dressing to go out, when I was
notified that the truck had been
stolen from in front of my shop,
where I left it about 2\ o’clock
that afternoon.
"I went over there in my sedan,
and was trying to think what to
do, when a boy told me that the
machine was over at the corner
of Seventeenth and S, in a Col
lison. I drove up there, identi
fied the truck, and the officer put
me under arrest.”
Sherlock Holmes, Jr.
“Who was the boy?”
“I don’t know. He doesn’t live
in that neighborhood."
“Pretty smart boy to locate the
owner of an abandoned machine
so quickly. You should have
brought him in “here as a witness.
You must have been right busy to
let your truck be stolen from in
front of your shop and not know
it until some one told you after
you got home.”
“I wasn’t working at the shop
—I was out in Virginia.’’’
“What time did you get back
from Virginia?”
“About half past three.”
Closing In.
"That gave you an hour and a
half before dark to notice your
truck was gone.”
“I didn’t go to the shop at all.
I went right home and changed
my clothes.”
“Do you quit work every day
at half past three?”
“Did I say half past three? I
meant half past four."
Treed.
"You’re a pretty rapid dresser
to change from your work clothes
and get up to Seventeenth and S
streets from your shop in less
than half an hour.”
’“My shop isn’t very far from
there.”
"Where is your shop?”
“On Seventeenth between R
and S.”

“A Ford touring car and a light
delivery truck were racing on
Wisconsin avenue about 4 o’clock
yesterday -afternoon, your honor,
at what looked like a pretty stiff
gait? I followed them from Wood
ley road at thirty miles an hour.
“The avenue was too free of
traffic to stand much chance of
getting more than one of them
until we reached Pierce Mill road,
where they were held up."
Steamboat Bill, Chauffeur.
Boob: “I wasn’t racing, and I
don’t know anything about? the
other car. My machine hasn’t
any speedometer, and I don’t
know how fast I was going.”
“The officer got you both at
tL-j same time?”
“Yes sir.”
“You must have been going
neck and neck. $25 or 10 days.”

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
AERIAL ATTACK
PLANNED FOR
ICE JAMS
Railways Will Bear Expense
of Experiment on Frozen
Platte River.
By lateraational Mews Service.
Plans for the bombardment, from
army airplanes, of ice jams in the
Platte river in Wyoming and Ne
braska were being made today by
Gen. Mason Patrick, chief of Air
Service, it was learned at the War
Department.
If the experiment is successful it
will mean a saving of thousands of
dollars to railroad companies oper
ating in that territory, which suffer
a large loss each year from the
damage caused by the huge blocks
of ice piling up in the Platte river
and its tributaries.
The expense of the undertaking
will be borne principally by the
Union Pacific Railroad Companies,
it was said. The main lines of this
company run directly! through that
territory, where the 1 ice jams are
the heaviest, and officials of the
company declare there is grave dan
ger that traffic will be completely
tied up unless some system is de
vised to break up the huge piles of
ice which threaten every bridge and
trestle over the Platte.
Trestles Are Threatened.
Bridges and trestles are often
completely destroyed by the ice
jams, officials say, and this year
extremely cold weather in the North
west has resulted in more serious
damage than ever before. Both the
Platte and Missouri rivers are com
pletely frozen over at the present
time, and a sudden change in the
weather will cause the ice to crack
and then the blocks, moving with
the stream, will pile up and cause
uhtold damage to the railroad
property.
The request for the use of the
army airplanes was made to the
War Department by Senator War
ren of Wyoming, at the request of
railroad officials. Secretary of War
Weeks was willing to authorize use
of the planes if provision was made
for payment of the expenses oc
curred in the project. Railroad offi
cials agreed to pay the expenses and
Secretary Weeks immediately >gave
orders to General Patrick to plan
the bombing of the ice packs.
Bombers to Be Used.
The standard type of Martin
bomber will be used, It was said by
Air Service officials, and a flying
base probably will be established at
Fort Riley, Kan. The planes will
be flown to Fort Riley from the
permanent base at Langley Field. It
is considered probable that the ma
chines will be kept at Fort Riley
for some time after the bombing of
the blockades in the event of an
other emergency.
War Department officials pointed
out that aviators can operate over
the entire territory menaced by the
ice packs from Fort Riley, owing to
the long flying range of the Martin
bomber. Provision will be made,
however, for emergency landing
fields as a precautionary measure.
U. S. BIBLE DISTRIBUTION
NEARLY 3,000,000 COPIES
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—A1l rec
ords for Bible distribution were shat
tered in 1923, the American .Bible
Society announced, 2,395,000 copies
in 100 languages and dialects hav
ing been circulated in this country.
Less than half that many were
placed in 1922.
“There is a more manifest demand
for the Bibles today throughout the
world than at any time during the
last twenty-five years,” said the
Rev. William I. Haven, who has
just completed twenty-five years of
service as general secretary of the
society.
QUEEN OF SPAIN SINGS
FOR WARSHIP’S CREW
ROME, Feb. 15. —Queen Victoria
of Spain was the central figure in
an impromptu concert held aboard
the Spanish battleship Jaime Pri
mero just before the royal party left
Naples on their return to Spain.
The King and Queen of Spain
lunched aboard the battleship with
the Duke of Aosta, the Duke of Pis
tola, Gen. Primo de Rivera and
others, when someone expressed a
wish to hear the crew sing.
A concert was arranged and both
the King and Queen of Spain joined
in several choruses. Queen Victoria
was invited to sing, and having a
fine contralto voice, she smilingly
obliged, much to the gratification of
the assembled gubsts and crew.

GDUNTrFINANCE
DISPUTE ENDS
PEACEABLY
Alleged Refusal of Waters to
Take Over Prince Georges
Books “Gossip.”
Olive branches, wlgto flags, and
honeyed words passed with great
frequency in Prince Georges county,
Maryland, today, and what gave
promise at being a first-class po
litical row has now simmered down
to nothing more than a gentle near
dispute.
“All about nothing,” was the
rumor yesterday that County Treas
urer-elect George W. Waters, of
Laurel, Md.. and Thomas E. Bur
gess. present county treasurer, of
Hyattsville, had come to the point
where a public airing was threat
ened for a political dispute.
The furore was about Waters*
alleged refusal to take over the of
fice of county treasurer until an
audit had been made of Burgess’
books. “Mere idle gossip. I have
nothing to do with Burgess* books.
They are turned over to the county
commissioners when his term ex
pires, and I get the books from
them,” declared Mr. Waters today.
At the same time Mr. Burgess
came to the fore with a stiff denial
that he was a poor bookkeeper and
that the affairs of his office were tn
a muddled condition.
“A saturnalia of false intimations.
My books are In good shape. " I’ll
welcome an audit any time,” Mr.
Burgess said.
And the thriving little town of
Hyattsville has again resumed its
air of nonchalance —and air that was
threatened with extinction pending
the outcome of the difficulty. “All
ovir nothing at all,” Prince
Georgians say.
