CREATOR OF JIMMIE
AND VIOLET IN TOWN
Comic Artist of The Herald
Funny Pages Passes
Through City.

j. SwinnertOn, cartoOnist and Gre
ator of Jimmy and his Pa, Violet and the
Tiger family, was in Ell Paso for 20
minutes Friday afternoon. Swinnerton,
whose signature may be seen on The
Heralds "funnies" each Saturday, was
on his way to Chieago to do some spe-
cial political cartooning for the Hearst
service. His home is Cotton, Cal, and
his present assignment is the first one
he has had aside from his regular. com
ic supplement page since the Reno
fight of July 4.
Swinnerton resembles the characters
he draws He looks a little like the
kind-face tiger folk. a little like Jim
my, the way he stands and some more
like Violet. 1t is a strange fact, that
is said to apply to all cartoonists, that
they resemble the characters of their
own creation. Swinnerton wore an
olive drab Norfolk suit, big English
cap and gripped pipe between his
teeth like little Violet when she annex
section of the Bad Mans" leg with
her teeth.
Jimmy Swinnerton says, was born
in Lakewood, N. J., The original Jim
my had been sent with a clean hand
kerchief for his father who was suf-
IeFlQS from a colo IN MS mead. jim
my stopped at the pool hall to watch
the game. Jimmy's pa found him
comfortably seated in one Of the chairs
in the pool room and hurried him home
for the usual spanking. Violet the dog
had no such romantic origin. A sordid
and mercenary editor ordered a dog
picture, an old woman picture and
boy picture for the comic supplement.
Violet was the dog, Jimmy the boy,
and the old woman never materialized.
Swinnerton said if he had not been
on the wagon he would have been
down here cartooning our little war
with Otheman Stevens. He and Stevens
work on the same Los Angeles paper.
Otheman writing criticisms when he
is not on the firing line and Swimmer
ton drawing, a page of funnies each
week
They picked Stevens to come to
the front" he said. as he swung on
the observation of the limited, east
bound. because he was so thin that
he could get in between the bullets
when the fight was thickest''

There is some difference between the

The First Step.
The first step in making a prema-

to oisinter the cadaver. and describing
IN minute detail the method intended

ployed, and designating a local doctor

Fee to the Government
For this permission $3.50 Mexican
currency is. charged, the doctor being
paid a fee in addition The charge by
the government is made only for pre-
mature disinferment; after a body has
been buried five years there is no pay
ment required for the privilege OF ex-
huming the body.
The subsequent procedure required
for bringing the body across the bor-
der may be illustrated by the case Of
resident of FL Paso, who suddenly
died in Juarez. In an instance Of this
kind the undertaken would Immediate
y wire the governor Of the state at
Chihuahua for permission to bring the
body out of the state. In the mean
while the body is embalmed in Juarez
for fear, that the message or reply
may be delayed in some way, and
burial required on account OF the body
not being embalmed.
Then See the Jefe.
If the governor grants permission
he wires the same to the jefe at Jua-
rez, who sends a copy of the tele-
gram to the undertaken This grants
what is termed translation of the
body" and prescribes the requisites
The undertaken then procures a death
certificate from the municipal doc
tor in Juarez, certifying to the cause
Of death. This is shown to the repre-
sentative of the United States marine
hospital service and If satisfactory
bodies whose death resulted from
Asiatic cholera, bubonic plague. small
pox. yellow fever, anthrax and other
malignant contagious diseases are
barred) permission is granted to
bring the body into the United States.
This written permission is shown to
the customs officials and the body
brought over. The fees are nominal

rency at the most.
