FL PasO automobiles want to know
how automobile problems have been
solved in other cities. j. D. Bukey,
secretary Of the FL PasO Automobile
club, has sent 20 letters to cities of
the relative size Of FL PasO. and to II
automobile associations, asking how
the traffic problem is handled and
what laws guard against auto thefts.
The city council is taking up the
matter of an ordinance prohibiting the
parking of auto cars in front of office
buildings. The club members at their
meeting Wednesday night at the cham
Der of commerce seemed to believe such
regulation a good thing. but they wish
to see the most approved ways before
any action is taken. 1t was decided to
ask the council at its meeting Thursday
to delay action until answers to the
secretary's queries could be had. Mr.
Bukey also In his letter asked what
was being done to prevent against the
theft of automobiles. something from
which FL ,PasO motorists have suffered

matched to fight Jack White, has be-
gun his working out His training
was begun before an audience Of 1000
fans at Jack DoyTs training camp.
owen had been doing some road work
and shadow boxing for several days,
and looks pretty good ct the present
time But he cut out az hard boxing
on account of the injury TO his eye.
His first workout consisted of sew
eral light rounds with his sparrinS
partners, and he did no hard hitting.
He says he is in good condition at the
present time and does not need il.
When Kid Lavigne was champion he
very seldom did any boxing while
training. 1t is not necessary with Mo-
ran, as he is clever and all he needs
is to get his eye in shape to judge dis
lance, and this can be done by shadow
boxing with his sparring partners.
Asked about current stories OF
Owens failure to train during past
bed early and when he is asked to take
a drink with 4 friend. 1 make it my
business to be there and order water
for him, which is all he has drunk
since he has been training at my
training quarters.
Moran looks good and feels very
confident Of winning In his boxing
with his sparring partners, with whom
he boxed three rounds each it was
impossible to tell just how good he
really was, as the boxing was of the
light order. He showed good judgment
in not going at il hard on account
of his eye. This looks as if it will be
all right by next Saturday, provided
he does not have the bad luck to have
it busted open again"

The graves of the early Egyptians

Evidence is also provided of the lack
