knighthOod was in flower. That was
the most striking picture I brought
back from my vacation trip with me.
The lights, the medieval decorations,
the wonderful mile-high city and its
people were all impressive, but that
panorama Of American beauties was the
most striking"
Likes HOIlyVvOOd's Trees and Flowers.
Miss Katherine Hem, who recently
returned from California, sayss 1T
was the green trees and the grass and
flowers of Hollywood which were the
most impressive to me. To cross the
desert with its sand wastes and awake
IN a land Of perpetual blossoms, where
the date palms and the orange trees
grew in the front yards, the lawns
slope away in terraces and the honey
suckle blossoms in the dooryards, was
delight 1 am just crazy about Califor-
MIA, and my uncle there has one of the
most beautiful lawns in the home city
OF Hollywood I love it out there for
things FL Paso has not. but I love FL
Paso all the more when I come back"
Spends Vacation In Government Hill.
r c. SempIe, retail coal dealer, says:
MY vacation was spent right here in
ii Paso-or rather in Government Hill
addition. We had planned to take the
children to CloudcrOft for the summer,
but life was so comfortable out there in
our new suburban home, it was ALWAYS
cool, with the breeze blowing from the
mountains and away from the smoke of
the city, that We stayed at home. Gov
eminent Hill, with its fine soil and its
elevation, is an ideal residence section
and I haven't any real estate to sell
out there, either"
Thinks Grand Canyon Can Be Painted.
Fred J. Feldman. photographer, says:
1t IS 2 legend among artists that the
Grand Canyon couldn't be painted
Frederic Remington told me that right
mere IN my art shop after his return
from the canyon. There is a story of an
artist whose bride said she would leave
him on the eve of their honeymoon at
the Grand Canyon If he attempted to
paint It With all of this common
knowledge, my visit to the canyon this
summer, en- route from California dis
PEELED all Of these illusions and made
me believe that the canyon could be
painted and photographed without try
ing TO paint the lily. I saw some es-
peclally line paintings of the CANYON
at FL Tovar hotel at the CANYON and
some excellent photographs, which re-
tanned the form of the great abvss
without losing any of its charm. Even
the little postcards reproduced this
wonderful scar on the face Of nature
without appearing sacrilegious and I
would like to take a few professional
SHOTS at the masterpiece of nature my
No Tight Money In Canada.
J. ) MORRISON. city ticket agent of
the Santa Fe railroad. said: 'sThe most
interesting thing 1 saw during my va
catlon was the progress that is be-
ing made in Ontario. My wife and
daughter, Irene were with me. and we
were all surprised to learn that IN
there they do not know what tight
money IS The crops were good and
money plantifUl. The trip down through
the rapids of the st. Lawrence river
was also very interesting"
New YOrk's Great WaterTvorks
La NJ. Lawson, project engineer of
the United States reclamation service
said: The most interesting thing [
saw was the new Waterworks system
Of New York city. It is to cost $500
OOO,OOO- CHold your breath and say it
slowly The water has such force that
lire engines are not needed for ordin-
airy sized buildings when there is a
fire there. The pressure is sufficient
IN itself At Spuyten Duyvil the en-
slneers went down $50 feet below the
surface Of the EARTH and drilled tun-
nels through solid rock to carry the
water into the city. If they had used
pipes the force of the water would
nave burst them The holes cut through
the solid granite that underlies Man
haitian island solved their problem for
them. They have plastered these tun-
nels with concrete. 1 also saw the wa
terworks system at Havana, Cuba but
T Jnat was not as interesting as New
Have Fasteners Beaten.
