GORGE c. sTEMEN, assistant

GORGE C. STEMEN, assistant
health inspector of the city of
~ Chicago. stopped over in Ell
Paso a few hours Sunday on his way
home from the coast.
'This is my first visit to your city"
said Stemen. It took a two-hours' auto
trip through the city ard the well built
hcnes and business blocks impressed
me.
There is one thing that I particu-
larly noticed, the absence of rubbish
cans in the business district. On every
corner there should be a large rubbish
can, in which to deposit waste paper.
Those things would keep the business
streets free from rubbish and save con-
siderable labor on the part Of the street
cleaning department.
Another thing that mostly i'm
pressed me was the lack of street
guides or signs in the residence dis
trict, which makes it very difficult for
strangers to find an address. FL Paso
is far too nice and prosperous a looking
city to be without the two things I
have mentioned
Il found the people of FL Paso always
ready to assist stranger in giving in
formation or directions. I noticed that
if an Ell Pasoan is asked for the location
of any place he will go a block out of
his way to give the directions, but in
Chicago quick answer and a grunt
would be the answer"
That reminds me of old times" said
Charley Kline, as he watched the red
hated trade boosters parade through
Pioneer plaza Monday morning. Those
red hats are certainly loud enough to
sttract notice under any circumstances
and the way those fellows wear them
IS surely worth going long ways to
see. Mr.. Kline was secretary of the
FL Paso chamber of commerce for two
years and has gone through the mill of
more than one trade excursion.
Chief trumpeter J Mayer, who heads
the I'd cavalry band which accompanied
the trade excursiOnists Monday, said:
My boys are all in good condition for
the trip. have had them blowing
music out of their instruments FOR
many days and FL Paso will not be
ashamed of their performances on the
trip"
II wouldn't blame anyone for using
scissors on those fryingpan handle
feather affairs that women wear stick
ing out yard or so behind their hats"
said John BarkaloW. Coming home
from the show, I watched one on a
crowded Arizona street car. The
wearer, who was talking to a friend
seated across the aisle, kept swishing
that frylngpan handle across the face
of the girl who was sitting beside her
turedly, but her efforts to keep that
leather out Of her eyes and the wear
ers oblivion to the annoyance she was
causing. kept the whole car enter
tanned until the feather left. If that
girl had clipped off that feather, no
one in the car would have blamed her
a bit. / know I would have wanted to
If It had been my eyes the feather was
tickling"
For some of the flowers we raise
here we have to ship the earth all the
way from Chicago" said H. L. Potter
pensiye as it is, the freight charges are
Twice as expensive as the cost of the
mold Stlll 1t IS worth while, because
We are absolutely sure of the proper
ties OF the mold. as it is put up by ex-
perts We cannot afford to take
chances with the earth we use. as If
might kill off 100 valuable plants be-
fore we could locate the reason. There
croft but no experts to gather it If
ever 1 have time, I hope TO go and
gather big quantity myself"

Those gowns that Eltinge and the
girls Of his company wore" said Harry
Hartford, after the play, were lust
about the classiest things that I've seen
IN FL Paso. An the slitsI Though thew
we're GertalnIy most beautiful, graceful
and altogether fascinating, they are
the Kind of gown one likes to see on the
other fellows wife, but never on his
own Still, if every wearer of a slit
sklrI Iooked as graceful and pretty as
those girls, I don't think there would
be such a howl about them. I notice
some OF your ministers have been ex-
pressing their opinion about the clothes
women wear. I'll bet if any of them
went to that Fascinating Widow
show, they would have to admit the
gowns were the prettiest things they
had ever seen"
