Blake’s Roswell neckwear venture used Isleta Indians for weaving and drew orders from Bond Company Macy Marshall Field and more, as New York and Chicago buyers displayed the ties in prominent windows.

Floods and Fire Continuation From Pazene Dam Test
Officials from Elephant Butte and El Paso districts opened the spillway for a flood test as Rio Grande waters topped the dam spillway by nearly three feet. The lake holding about 1.914 million acre feet, with 250 miles of shoreline, marks the second largest flow on record, dating back four decades of irrigation battles. In a separate report from Las Cruces, a gas fire at the Afton station blacked out hot meals across Mesilla Valley, forcing emergency measures until mid-morning repairs restored service to about half the customers.

Russians Calmly Contest German Front Claims
The world war front reports show the 2000 mile line aflame with battles over the weekend yet a morning communique from the Russians says no major fighting occurred overnight and no major changes in the conflict. Berlin claims of huge gains are dismissed as extravagant while the Red Army reports a new motorized thrust near Pskov was halted with losses. Kiev is described as a looming German capture as Goebbels inflames public tone with talk of no salvation for the Soviet armies and a mandate to liquidate Bolshevism. German forces claim to have crossed the Dnepr with heavy fortifications facing them along the central front guarding Moscow.
