woman director lead them was worth
going to Milwaukee to see
Few New Buildings IN Rome.
Dr. C. NJ. Hendricks: Rome IS city
of 225, 900 population, that, at one time,
had a population of many times that
large. had but two building operations
in progress. One OF these was the pal
ace of Justice and the other the statue
of Victor Emanuel. There was not
single business house in course Of con-
struetion and the absence of this sign
of progress was most noticeable"
Bob Moore: "The. way Ocean Park
and Venice handle the crowds and en-
terrain the visitors was an interesting
thing on my trip to California That Is
what FL Paso needs most, a popular
priced place where the crowds can be
entertained"
Automobiling in New England.
James L. Mari: "Automobiing
through the New England states was
the way / spent my vacation and dur
ing the three weeks that l was travel
ing this way, the party l was IN, COW
cred 1900 miles and visited every city
of any Importance IN the northwestern
section. FL PasO was well advertised on
the trip, as on our machine we carried
a banner bearing Fl Paso. Texas, and
all over the east it drew the attention
licemen in New York yelled eheerily
Hello, Texas at US as We passed
through the streets, and every one greet
ed US because we were from Texas The
banner we carried brought out in nearly
every CITY We visited someone who was
acquainted with a person who was hV-
ing in FL PasO. In the party were Mrs.
Mari. and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred }. Field
man."
E. G. Perry: 'In every city of any
size west of the Mississippi, and I Wis
tied nearly al of the larger ones on
my vacation, there Is not one as sub
stantially built as FL Paso. Frame
buildings can be seen in the majority
of these places as compared to the great
number of brick buildings, which are
erected in FL Paso."
Impressed by Boosting.
L. o. Howell: ''Citizen boosting for
Los Angeles Is the most apparent thing
on the coast. Every one in the city
of Los Angeles is boosting and adYertis-
ing for the town, trying to boost the
land values, the value of everything IN
order to make the place more prosper
Gus and progressive. In their boosting
they are doing things making their
places so that they can be boosted and
making the town what it IS"
Charles E. Lewis: Niagara Falls,
Wnere L spent NV vacation anu winch Is
my home. seems the same as It did
when 1 saw it years ago. The many
stories published at different times that
Niagara Falls would soon be no more,
because of Harvesting it for power
seems to have no weight at all, as the
falls are as beautiful and powerful to-
daY as they were manv wears ago"

Park Pitman: Il fished in the Illinois
river from the same old willow tree
where I used to hang my line. 40 years

| Blanca" Mr.. Pitman returned to Fl
