' REBELS NEARER SPAIN CAPITAL Loyalists Building Last Defenses Eight Miles From Madrid ■ Madrid, Nov. t-il’P) —One hundred Thousand ArthMms, building workers, carpenters, bricklayers, were mobilizezd today and marched ' out to the euburgs to build the city's last defence against the na- , t’.onalists—eight miles away. Sleepy, yawning in the early i hours after they were called from I their beds, the worker® shoulder-1 'er picks and shovels and went in : long ragged columns to dig trenches I erect barbed wire entanglements ■and build street haricades. Trucks : were not necessary—They liad not I tar to go. j The government awaited with i growing desperation word of etipI port from abroad. All normal construc*ion activity was abandoned because there were no men left for it. and there wa* little pretense of no'inal lite in the city. It was admitted loyalist militiamen had been driven back by the racing tanks which the nationalists received from abroad. Again tanks were the vanguard of attack, and so effective were they, used in coopration with bombing and pursuit airplanes, that the nationalist infantrymen strolled far behind them, mopping up captured ground. The p'anes bombed and machine gunned the green militiamen, and those who Lad the fortitude to stand fast were moved down by the tanks which, came close behind. —o Justice Roberts, at 61. is the youngest member of the V.

Nov. 4 —(UP) — Snipers bullets' killed a guard, felled an engine crew, and temporarily left an express train of the strikeRidden Louisiana and Arkansas railway running wild early today. The attack occurred near Calvin. La., six miles north of Winnfield, as the ‘ hustler" was en route south for New Orleans. Max Osborne, 30, of Rodessa, La-, was killed by bu'lets that splintered the Cabin glass. E. J Waskom, fireman, was shot through the left jaw, and engineer F. R. Bacon was stunned as a slug grazed his neck. Bacon regained hie pilot seat and opened the throttle wider. The train slid to a halt at Winnfield and Osborne’s body and the wounded Waskon wei-e removed. The train was delayed more than two hours as Bacon reported the killing, first in a seven-weeks old strike in which 500 trainmen of the "Big Four" Unions are participating. Twice before, bullets have rattled against the steel coaches of the Hustler, endangering the lives of passengers and crew. Brdges have been burned in the path of the train. Early in the strike, one train was derailed, killing two of the crew. 0 PETERSON NEWS Those who visited the Holsum Bakery last Friday from Peterson were: Mrs. Mabie Marshall, Mrs. Glen Straub, Mrs. George Bright and Mrs. Luther Arnold.

CONGRESS LEAD IS INCREASED Three Old Guard Senators Lose; House Majority To Be Boosted New York, Nov. 4 —(U.R)~Demo- 1 crats defeated three old guard Republicans today in an apparent sweeping U. 8. senate victory. Crushed in the Democratic landslide were Daniel O. Hastings, Del.. W. Warren Barbour. N. J., and Jesse H. Metcalf, R. L. all vigorous new deal critics. Henry Cabot Lodge. Jr., grandson of the famous New England statesman, apparently had defeated former Gov. James Curley in the Massachusetts senatorial race. Returns from 1.444 of the state's 1,765 precincts gave Lodge 716,588 and Curley 580,469. In South Dakota. Sen. W. J. Bulow, Democrat, was trailing W. Chandler Maddox in the senatorial race by 4.400 votes in twothirds of the state's 1.945 precincts. Reported Republican gains were offset, however, by results in lowa which showed former Gov. Clyde L. Herring. D„ leading Lester J. Dickinson, old guard Republican incumbent, and in Michi-i gan where Rep. Prentiss Brown, D., held a commanding lead over former Gov. Wilbur M. Brucker, R. Reelected without difficulty were 12 Democrats in the solid south, i including floorleader Joseph T. J Robinson of Arkansas and chair-' man Pat Harrison. Miss., of the important finance committee. Two ' other veterans — William E. Bor-' ah. R., Ida. and George W. Norris, i Ind . Neb.—apparently have been ; returned to office for another nix years. Norris carried the Messing of President Roosevelt and the Democratic high command. In Illinois. James Hamilton Lewis. D„ was given a substantial margin over former Sen. Otis Glenn. R.

Great Majority | New York, Nov. 4 — (U.R> — I Sweeping Democratic congressional victories in the Roosevelt landslide may give the cdministraiion i the greatest house majority in more than 45 years. Election of 263 Democrats was conceded, while 66 others were leading their Republican opponents on incomplete returns. Republicans had elected 54 and were leading in 34 districts. On this basis. Democrats had the possi- J bility of increasing their 322 house membership by between 10 and 20. Democrats reported seating gains : in 14 states, while Republicans apparently were increasing their 1934 totals in seven states. Two years ago voters sent to the house 103 Republicans and J 322 Democrats. A cut in Republican strength to belcw 100 would give that party the smallest minority since the 52nd congress elected in 1890 with a membership ; of but 88 Republicans. Ualifornia. Delaware. Illinois, New Jersey. Ohio. Oregon. Pennsylvania. Connecticut, and Rhode Island were aanong states which either tentatively or finally had contributed to Democratic gains. Republicans appeared likely to pick up seats in Kansas Massachusetts. New Hampshire, ajid possibly lowa ana Wisconsin. At 8:30 a. m. 239 Democrats and 40 Republicans had been conceded victory. Powerful house Republican leadens went down to defeat. In Ohio Rep. Chester Bolton, chairman of the Republican congressional ’ campaign committee, was beaten along with Ren. John Hollister, ! leading house critic of the administration's fiscal policies. o The evarage adult has about 100,000 hairs in the scalp. o The Red Fern Coat representative will be at our store FRIDAY MORNING.

BASKET MAKING METHODS SAME First Basket Is Woven Thousands Os Years Ajfo By Cave Dweller Thousands of years ago, before man became clvllixed. a cave dweller's wife, needing a receptacle to 1 hold various small articles, went i out and gathered some tall grass and long twigs and wove ueraalf a basket. Possible she cenceived the idea of weaving from <t spider's web, and patterned after it and shaped the basket like a bird's nest, and the art of basket making was born. It is an interesting fact that many kinds of baskets have continued to be hand woven through the ages, and are still woven and made by hand with slight changes over the cavewoman's method. There are sufficient reason to believe that baskets were one of the first articles of utility that man made for himself: that the making of a basket was one of the first steps in the beginning of the civilization of the human race; that the cavewoman in exerting her brain to find away to shape and form her basket awakened the dormant possibilities of the human brain which has accomplished such stupendous things during the passing of the centuries. There is every right, therefore, to call basket making an art. an ancient art, because it is perhaps iue oldest in existence, it is also an interesting fact that the demand
