The Question of Good Manners

q was very much struck with the re- marks few days ago of a gentleman quoted in the hotel Hobbies in regard to the appreciation by women of courtesies shown them by men in public places,' said a man of the old school.
 q do not exactly agree with him, and for the reason that he has probably not taken into consideration the fact that the changing tide of affairs has left it's inn press upon society in a most marked way. For instance, there are very many women who appear elegantly dressed who have never had the training of refined home, or the opportunities which make persons polished in manner and at ease in con tact of the sexes. This is largely due to the era of commercialism. How can a man tell from a woman's dress in this day just what value to put upon her socially or in the way of character?
 And then, too, it must not be for gotten that there are many men who are well appearing in dress who have the su- perficiality of manner that at first thought would suggest 8 gentleman to the man ner born, but who have really not had the training or the environment absolutely essential to the development of the re- fined, courteous and perfect gentlemen. And more, even among those men who pride themselves upon their genealogy, their social position and the old order of ethics, the respect for women, no mat ter what their social position may be, that was in days of yore one of the cardinal principles of southern manhood, is often lacking. Who in this day resents an in- sulting or compromising remark about a woman by one man to another? They be few and far between.
 ''I dare to say that there are many women in what is known as the higher circles of society who are themselves the creatures of circumstance rather than the blooming rose of cultivation. No we'll bred woman or man ever fails to show appreciation for favors or for courtesies. On the other hand, it may be said that there is a certain amount of compromising risk in a woman acknowledging every courtesy shown to her by any and every man. It is all too true that many men seek opportunities to gain the acquaint- ance of ladies through just such proceed ings. And so we may let that matter take care of itself, being fully assured that the woman who is properly trained will be able to discriminate, and to show her appreciation where it is deserved"

take over the canal and operate it as is
being done with the LeasbUrg canal in
the upper Mesilla valley. In the mean
time the Water Users association is
having the canal cleaned and repaired for
the early spring water service.
Little will be done to improve the
Franklin canal after It Is taken over by
the government during the present year.
II IS more important TO get water on the
land than to improve the canal. and
every effort viii be made to serve the
lower valley through this canal. If the
canal could have been obtained by the
reclamation service last fail the perma-
nent Improvements would have been
made.
New gates, beth check and laterals.
viii be built the canal viii be widened
TO furnish water for all of the lower
valley and the rock dam opposite Peace

concrete poured over the rock to make
it impeTviOus.
The main canal viii be wineded to carry
all the water for the entire valley and
the other canals. including the SOcorrO,
SalitTal Clint and San ElizaTiO canals,
viii be abandoned. The diversion dam
above FL PasO viii be the only one in
the entire I'll Paso valley and laterals
from the main canal viii supply water
to all of the lands in the lower VALLEY
under the project.
The plans Of the reclamation service
as explained by w. NJ. Reed. district
engineer of the reclamation service, are
even more extensive than those for the
lower valley The Leasburg canal viii
be extended to carry the main body OF
water for all of the irrigable land above
Fl PasO. The drop in the canal at Fort
Fillmore viii be sufficient to create cleo
[ trio power and q power station Is being
considered at that point. Two plans are
being considered for serving the farm
ers in the La Mesa district, located on
the west side of the river. One is to
build a canal from the main canal at
[ the drop near Fort Fillmore and either
siDhOh ii under the river OF flume it over
4 the river and furnish water for the west
: side farms. The other plan is to allow
a part OF the water to remain IN the
river at the intake of. the Leasburg dam
above Las Cruces and to take It out
above La Mesa by building a diversion
dam across the river to give head for
the La Mesa and west side ditch.
The main canal viii continue from
Fort Fillmore down the valley to "the
narrows, a point Just north Of Corr-
chesne where 1t VIII run into the river
and the water suppl for FL Paso

y No consideration Is now being given
TO any high line ditch to water the mesa

saw there win only be water sufficient
to 4erve the two valleys Of Juarez and

His comedy-"The Girl the Man and

when you have seen il more than once,
and Billy is always funny, whether he
is saying funny things or not He can
audience and make the people laugh
Much of his fun is imprOmptu, which
makes IL all the more enjoyable.
In addition 10 the same number OF
