Moving Pictures.

Moving pictures are the most
popular amusement in America to-
day.
In New York City, the moving
picture center of the world, there
are $50 picture shows against 76
regular theaters and some of the
latter include moving pictures on
their bills.
In this country the audiences.
average two and a quarter million
people a day or three times the
audiences of all the regular theaters
in America put together.
The possibilities of constructive
helpfulness in the motion picture
has long been plain to intellectual
men. Thomas A, Edison said re-
Gently: 1T will wipe out narrow
minded preiudices which are found
ed on Ignorance it will create a
feeling of sympathy and desire to
help the down trodden people of
the earth and it will give new ideals
to be followed"
1t is an immense force of educa-
ton as well as amusement. Those
fortunate enough to witness the ex-
hibition of the torpedo boat at the
Gem Theater one evening recently
have clearer idea of the workings
of those boats than they would have
gained from hours of reading. This
is simply one of the many things at
this entertaining and instructing
place of amusement. One does not
have to travel to see foreign coun-
tries. They are brought to us for
very small sum,
At the Gem Theater you may
spend a pleasant and profitable
hour. 1t is run by our citizens and
they do all in their power to have
clean, moral show. ~

The Lesson of the Sunflower.

Do you remember the row of sun
flowers which grew along the fence
in the back yard at home lifting
their bright yellow heads high in
the air? Perhaps you called them
ugly and awkward and wondered
why anyone ever planted flowers
with so little fragrance and grace.
That was because you had not
caught their message. But one day
when you noticed that they lifted
their faces to the sun, followed its
path across the heaven and then
turned their faces to the east wait
ing for its return, then you learned
the lesson of the sunflower. You
admired the flowers because they
stood so tall and waved their stalks
so proudly; they were following the
light. The lesson of the sunfower
is the lesson oflife. Turn your face
to the light. If darkness settles
down for time, turn your face to
the east and wait expectantly.
Look upward. Keep a heart full
of courage and hope. Don't stop to
NOPE and whine. The lights com
ing. Be sure your face is turned to
receive the first rays.-Ex.

Eleven thousand dollars in duty,
mostly on Partisan gowns, was paid
by Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt when
she returned from Europe on the

This is the seasons record, if not

All, yes, it is, indeed, large and
happy family.
What is the family doing?
The family is talking together in

WhatJdo they say?
They are calling each other names
and accusing each other of insin-

misdemeanorS.
Are the accusations true?
Oh, no, indeed.
Then, why does the family do
these things?
Because they love one another.
What a beautiful idea! And
does the family show its love for
the outside world in the same way?
Oh, no, indeed. Outside the bos-
ON of the family its members are
very polite and considerable and
amiable.
The family would not dare to
talk to anyone else in the same
way that they talk to each other
Other people simply would not SUBJ

CITIZENS MUST PUT

This Effect.

II a provision OF the I,ostoIfice appro..
priation becomes a law, residents OF
cities who have not mail boxes up IN
front of their residences will receive no
mail after June 80, 1911
The provision prohibits any letter car
rier from delivering mail at any, house
unless there is a suitable mail box on
the outside to receive it and this Will
apply in FL Paso as we'll as other cities
Uncle Sam has tired OF having the
mail carriers wait for people to answer
their door bells and by seeking to en-
force the law, making mail boxes com
pulsory, it seeks to save the time OF the
carriers. After many tests the postctflc.e9
department has determined that a mail
carrier loses about 80 seconds in ringing
each door bell and awaiting responses.
According to advices from Washington It
is expected the number of carriers re.
quired will be reduced and a saving OF
$500 900 Is estimated

Business Men of City Gen
orally Are Highly Pleased
at the disappointment Of
the Collector.

That a. L. Sharpe's administration has
evidenced Monday afternoon by the re-
joicing over the report OF his reappoint-
neut, which appeared in The Herald IN a
special dispatch from Washington. The
telephone bells in his office in the fed
eral building, at his home on Mesa ave
hue and at his clubs were ringing fran
tically with friends on the opposite end
of the line anxious to congratulate the
collector on his reappOintment.
IL PasO has not grown so Bag that the
good news which comes to a neighhOr
does not have its effect on his friends
and all through the business district
there was little else spoken of Monday
but Mr. Sbarpe's appointment for a sec
ond term and his fitness for the office.
Did You hear the news? Sharpe's
been reappointed % one man told Another
in a downtown real estate office.
Good Good! Gimme the telephone;
] am going to call him up right now and
tell him how glad | am that he has been
reappointed and tell him what good Of
ficer he has made
That was the general tone of the CON-
Enents made upon the telegraphic an
nouncement OF the selection of A. L.
customs at the port of FL Paso. The
modest collectors ears would have burn
ed if he had been here To hear all the
compliments which were paid his admin
istration. But he left on the noon train
for Washington to discuss the affairs
of his office with the secretary of the
treasury and few knew of his reappoint-
ment until The Herald printed a Wash
ingtOn dispatch telling of the presidents
nomination of the FL Pasoan.
The general sentiment over the CITY
and especially among the business men
who have constant dealings with the
customs department, was that since the
office had competent and efficient
executive, it would have been a serious
mistake to make a change at this time
when FL Paso's future is IN the making

vice of the city while at the same time
