Boy Scouts Help Mothers
Ell PasO Woman Finds Lads of
Youthful Organization Retain
POliteness; Little Interviews.

6CT HAD often wondered what the
purpose of the Boy Scouts might
be-" said an FL Paso woman to-
day. But, I have learned and I now
believe they form a good organiza-
ton. I had believed that the present
generation was losing its poIiteness
that marked the everyday life Of the
boys of my girlhood days, but that
is not so. I was walking home from
market when little fellow, scarcely
asked II he could not carry my bundles.
No thank you I said and he replied:
I am a boy scout and it is our motto
to help mothers. Bless his heart and
those who are teaching the boys those
things The world is getting better and
not worse as some people would like
US to believe"
Billy Adolph, who was brought to FL
Paso from LOrdsburg, Wednesday
morning at o'clock and taken to the
Hotel Dieu, made the following state
ment: I was going about so miles an
hour few miles east of Lordsburg,
when I started TO slow down for a
ditch Rogers, my mechanicians
looked out and seeing the ditch,
jumped, clearing the car and landing
on the side Of the road My brake
wouldn't work and when I struck the
first turn one of the forks on the
steering wheel punctured my right
lung and then the car turned over the
second time the drive shaft and rear
wheels going over my right leg ana
fracturing it.
I was making an average of about
36 miles an hour, everything running
along smoothly until the brake would
not work. I had been lying in the
road 40 minutes by watch, five cars
passing me, when oliver Creech stopped
and asked me If I was hurt. He Of
fered to take me in his car and told
him to go on and not lose any time,
but he insisted and took me up and
put me in his car, telling his driver
to run slowly. When we got within
a mile of Lordsburg I was taken in
charge by physicians of that place"
AdOlDh's injuries consist OF three
ribs and his right leg fractured, and
a puncture Of the right lung. The
nurses have been ordered by DR.. G. F.
Braden, the physician in charge OF
Adolphs to let no one visit him, as he
is told to get all the rest possible and
to avoid excitement or fatigue.

southwest looking for a good location

"and FL Paso looks pretty good to me.

Phoenix all good, lively towns, but my

FL Paso, with its good water. fine
paved streets and delightful climate,

This is some great weather for base

editor of the Chicago Record Herald,
who was the only baseball writer with
the big league team 'If we had this
kind of weather in Chicago it would be
a cinch to play post season games.
This air feels like a tonic, and the only
objection is that the sky is so high that
the best Of the players misjudge the
ball. This world tour is going to be a
great thing for baseball and for the
chance to see the world. will keep them
together and in good condition all
winter and the sea trips with their
crisp salt air will be the finest tonic IN
the world for the players who have
been through a hard season. I predict
that the players on this trip viii get
away IN front next spring with very
little spring practice and will have a
great season because of the trip"
IF FL Paso had a new baseball park
it would be one of the finest places in
the world for a major league baseball
team to train" saws James Gala han
Everything is suitable. including the
weather. in FL Paso. Hotel accommo-
dations are excellent as any hosiery in
the east, and the climate Is the best

train at Paso Robes, Calf, but I be-
Heve that the climate here is more suit

to work here, without doubt, il there
was only a new park"
