apothecary shop and on the other side
a small store of dry goods, and clothing,
which was In great demand by those who
had lost most of their apparel In the
flames.
There was apparent a feeling of resent

of asking for outside aid. In spite of the
ralamlty. the bulk of Tarls residents
felt that they could depend, on their own
resources for taking care of themselves.

known when the body of John Straub.

home.
Mrs. W. J. Bailey, SO years old. died

statement reads. "The known deaths are

May Bleep In Op Air.
Such as remained of the city's publlo
buildings were crowded with women and
children until daybreak. 'Railroad sta
tions, a few stores and often the open
air became sleeping places , for those
whose living routine hsd een shattered.
But few of the male population slept
last night. Most of the men worked in
trying to stop the flames; others who
gave up. exhausted, found rest on the
lawns of parks and secure places In the
residence district.
Work of clearing the street by a-n or
ganised force under the direction of
Mayor McCulstlon was started today
about S o'clock. Although the task looked
almost impossible, rioh men and laborers
willingly Joined In the squads which had
made good progress in ridding the bust
ness section of ashes, charred timbers
and crumbled brick walls. A several
days' Job faced them, but they went at
it diligently.
Volunteer workers from other ' cities
were eagerly given places in the brigade.
The food situation, waa further seriously
menaced today by the arrival of hun
dreds of sightseers from towns nearby,
who were attracted to Paris by the brirht
glow in the heavens, which laated most
of 'the - night and which could be seen
from twenty to thirty miles. Railroad
service Is unhampered. Trains arriving
on four roads today brought food and
clothing, but. according to those In charge
of the quickly organised relief commit
tees, not enough to supply the thousands
of stricken people.

AMERICANS MAKE FAST TIME
ON LINE OF MARCH OF AMER
ICAN ARMY, Mexico, March 22.
(Via Courier to Columbus, N. M.)
The trail along which Pancho Villa
retreated from Columbus less than
two weeks ago, Is today a broad, well
worn highway, visible at some point
for miles as It winds over and around
the hills of northern Chihuahua. The
road is evidence of the efficiency ot
the ' American array, 'which In a
veek'a time, has converted the trail
across a semi-desert into a military
road, the main artery for supplies to
General Pershing's punitive column.
This new road Is not an Ideal highway,
but It serves the purpose. ' Big,' gray
automobile trucks which carry the sup
plies by the ton, have cut ruts so deep

Dispatch Riders Ad Mara I are.
Motorcycle dispatch riders aid ' their
machines by vigorous use of their legs.
As the motorcycles plunge Into the ruts
or dip Into sand piles their riders stick
out a leg on each side as a prop, choke
the engine and as the machine topples
Inevitably to one side or the other they
give a kick with whichever foot comes
most handy to straighten up the ma
chine and then ro roaring ahead again
The great plains and the' mountains
bordering the road are mostly devoid of
every sign of life. But . occasionally on
a distant hill a algnal flag wlg-wagglna
shows where an American lookout Is on
the watch.
Marching or riding, the troops find
much of the road uncomfortable for
travel, because the mountain winds drive
the sand into the men's faces with a
sting aa sharp ss winter sleet.
Body of MeKlnner Fassd,
The body of H. J. McKinney, the Amer
ican ranchman killed by Villa on the
Mexican side of the border the night be
fore the Columbus raid, has been found
by American troops. It waa near ths
Boca Grande. McKinney had been hanged
and his clothing was., ripped where he
had been repeatedly atabbed.
While the celebrated rise of the Amer

HOUSES READY FOR DISPLAY
Leroy Herman, sixth R boy of
Walnut Hill school. Is home on a
bed of sickness, but his Indisposition
did not prevent him making a bird
house for the exhibit which will be
opened In the city council chamber
this . morning and continue un
til 5 p. m. Saturday. On the first
two days the hours will be from 9
a. m. tov9:30 p. m. Master Herman
heard of the activities of his mates
af school and he, too. could not re
sist a desire to provide comfort for
the" birds in the parks this season.
He fashioned a cute little house out
of stucco and made it of proper ale
for a wren family. He designated
his preference that the house be
placed In Bemls park after the ex
hibit. The bird houses all bear cards showing
the names of the parks where they will
be placed by Commissioner Hummel next
week. '
Yesterday Superintendent English of
the Recreation board and Helen Thomp
son of the manual training department
of the public schools brought the houeea
to Mr. Hummers office and today they
are being arranged in the council cham
ber for exhibition purposes. There will
be some small trees to show the prorer
msnner of placing certain types of the
houses.' Teachers will assist In explain
ing to visitors, the peculiarities and fea
tures of the great assortment of bird
dwellings.
Waali ' Veatllatloa.
Mr. Hummel believes the houses should
have ventilation holes, for he contends
that birds need a circulation of fresh air
In their, nests. Only a few of the houses
have vent holes.
The Madison school boys of tfle South
Side sent a fine marten house, which has
two floors and nine rooms on each floor.
There are individual entrances for each
room and porches are provided for the
martens if they wish to take a sun bath
or goeslp with each other on the outside.
The seventh B boys of Howard Kennedy
school made a two-story marten house In
bungalow style with tiny shingles and a
chimney.
! Boys of the Dundee school followed a
log cabin type an vamlahed their speci
mens. - A West Ride school boy sent a
wren house of tepee style. Ths wrens ap
pesr to have been the moat favored of the
birds.
There wilt be SM houses from the grade

The FVrt school -boys gave ten houses to
the collection for the parks and expect to
sell thirty.
