Moving Stairway at Brandeis Stores
Proves Popular from the Very Start
Immense crowds role on the escalator
of the Prandels (Mores when It was op
erated for the first time Saturday morn
ing. This etcalstor. known more gener
ally as a moving stairway, the first one
to be Installed In the middle, west and
was the Joy of thousands who visited
the Brandeis "tores. The children espe
cially found the escalator a new game.
Many of them spent the entire morning
riding to the second floor, taking the
elevator to the first floor again, and then
repealing the performance.
The escalator was Installed In the Pran
dels Ptorrs ut a cost of several thousand
dollars. It Is of the latest type and Is
operated by electricity. Push buttons at
both the first floor enranre and second
floor exit of the escalator provide a
means of stopping It Instantly, If neces
sary. Uniformed guards were at both
ends while the stairway was moving.
Kscalatora. according to tha people who
Installed the one at the Prandels fltores.
are In use In the largest cities In the
world where ordinary elevators cannot
handle the crowds. The capacity of the
Brandeis moving stairway Is 1400 i
hour. Officials of the stora are confl-
dent that the rery greatest crowds can
be handled without trouhlo with this new
feature.
The subway systems of New York and
London found the escalator to be the
only solution of the problem of handling
crowds. The moving stairway In the
Brandeis Stores Is considered the very
safest type. In London the same type Is
In operation all over the city.
One of the advantages of the escalator
la the fact that there Is no delay In wait
ing for elevators. The second floor Is
Just ss easily reached as the first. In
stallers of the escalator say that In keep
ing the crowd constantly In motion It Is
the only satisfactory met nod, as well aa
tha most economic and comfortable.
The escalator Is finished In mahogany,
with glare sides as a safety feature.
It was installed by the Otis Elevator
company.

Key to' the Situation Bee Went Ads.
EL PASO, Tex., March 11. Villa
l headed directly for Capes Grandes,
Chihuahua, in order to attack the
600 Mormons settled in that section,
according to a report received tonight
at Juares by Oeneral Gavira from
General Dertnnl.
Small hope Is felt that Oeneral
Bortanl will be able to bring help to
the Mormons as the cavalry force of
500' he commands Is stationed at
Palomas, 100 miles distant over-a
broken, roadless country. ' Ten
trains, containing 2,000 men, left
Chihuahua City this afternoon to act
as relay patrols and train guards,
Gavira said. . 1
Rlshop Get Meseaae.
It was to rescue thee people that' the
Mormon colony of El Paso dispatched a
meesenger Immediately on news of the
Columbus massacre, and special trnlns
were expected to start Immediately with
the refugees. Bishop Hurst, head of the
local church, received urgent messages
today from the Salt Leke City headquar
ters of tbe Mormon sett asking that he
take all possible precautions against hl
ro-rcllglnnlsts being caught In a trap In
Cases Grandes. The bishop conferred
with the Mexican railway officials over
train arrangements and with General
Gavira regarding military protection. '
Since troops had alresdy started from
Chihuahua City It was decided that they
would be first on hand and the protection
of the refugees was entrusted to their
care. The question now Is whether the
refugees ton be gathered In In time.
. Dash Through Hills.
From the reports received from General
Bertanl,. Villa and his men early in the
day were dashing through the mountains,
into which they had been chased by the
American cavalry following the Coturnbus
raid. Scouts reported that Villa was evi
dently relying on- relays of horses, of
which he is said to have great numbers,
In order to bead off the Mormons. He
was reported swinging Westward In the
direction of the Casas Grandes river.
Upon receiving newe-of Villa's apparent
drive against the Morn.on farmers, Oen
eral Gavira called., in. all outlying, bodies
of troops that had been engaged In hunt
ing tba VllllHta bandits in the Galeana
and S-m Ruenventura section In order to
mass a force for use at whatever point
an emergency may arise.
Villa is believed here to have left the
Mormons unmolested on his., northwurd
expedition in order . to allay, suspicions
as -to his plan., Following the decision
of tle Pajj-Amcrlcan conferees to recog
nise Carransa, Villa', was said.' to have
told a delegation .of Mormons who had
saked ' for the return . of their, stolen
horses that they . would probably ; not
need the horses for future work;as they
might not harvest another crop.',' ' '
WOMEN MUST NOT DRESS
EXTRAVAGANTLY IN BRITAIN
LONDON,' March ;11. The 'atlon : says
ganixing committee for War sav.ngs. has
issued an appeal against "extravagance
In women's dress." which says that while
many, women have recognised that elab
oration and variety In dress Is bad form,
in the present crisis', there still, are a
large number, both among the rich and
those not so well to do, to whom the
war appears to have made little differ
ence with respect to their apparel. .
"New clothes," the appeal concludes,
"should be bought only when absolutely
necessary. These' should be durable and
desirable on all occasions. Luxurious
forms of hats, boots, shoes, stockings,
gloves and veils should be avoided." '
