ing ami scores of short-haired wonvn
are searching \Ve>t Kml hairdressing
shops for locks with which to replace
those of which they were shorn a few
month* ago when the **bol>b ng craze
was at its height. This has created an
abnormal demand for hail of all col

white locks of suitable length can ob

“bobbing” operation.
There is some i-or\ in the fact that
many London worn* n who paid five or
six shillings a few months ago to have
their hair “bobbed and left the tres
ses with the hairdresser, not knowing
they might have received money for
them, arc now spending anxious hours
in other shops in an often futile
“matching up” endeavor.

IU ELETIN— MEXICO CITY,
May 22— President Carranza, who
tied from this city on May 6th and
took flight into the mountains of Pu
ebla, foliowing a battle with the revo
lutionists mar Itinconada, was killed
at one o’clock last Thursday morning
at llaxcalal Ton go according to an
official announcement here. Carran
za's companions, the names of whom
are not yet known, are declared to
have shared the same fate as the
President. The attack which resulted
a the* death of the Mexican President,
w;h led by General Kodolfo Serrera,
it is said.
WASHINGTON, May 22— From
a I vices received here it is believed
that Kodollo Herrerza commanded a
small guard accompanying Carranza
in his flight. Herrera was in rebellion
against Carranza several years ago in
the state of Puebla and surrendered
to Hu* Mexican government last
March.
Carranza's death occurred in a
small village in the northern Pan
l’andle of Puebla, fifty miles from
San Andres where he left his forces
and took to the mountains. Carranza
was followed and a battle began be
tween his guards and rebel forces
which resulted in the death of the
Mexican President.
EL PASO, May 22— From an offi
cial report received here from Mexico
City at the Revolutionary headquart
ers, Herrera and his men killed Car
ranza. Herrera, who was supposed to
have been defending Carranza in his
light, must have had trouble with the
President and also knowing the hople
les.sncss of the Carranza cause, turned
,n behalf of -he revolutionary forces
and did the deed, with his men, wh.eh
ended the life of Carranza.
