Ell PasO Air Kills Germs
Wounds Heal Much Faster Here
Than in Damp Climates, Says
DIR. White; Little Interviews.

in the east" DR.. Hugh S. White, secre-
tary of the Medical society. said Tues
day evening at the dedication of the
! society's clubrOOms. The bright sun
light and the fresh, dry, air is respon-
sible for this. tuberculosis germs will
die within two minutes after being ex-
posed to the air in Ell Paso and other
germs will die even more rap dly. For
this reason wounds heal much faster
\ here than in the damp, dark climates.
For this reason operations are uniform
ly more successful here than in such
cities where it is dark and gloomy so
much of the time. the air is damp and
the atmosphere is a breeding ground
for disease. In this desert country
germ has no chance to 1--we and there
are practically no germs in the air.
"El Paso and the southwest lost a
good friend when Lou Powell died,
J. A Happier says: He was one of the
big men of the Warren district. He
established and built the Warren
Country club, he was at the head of
the Calumet & Arizona company and
took an active part in all outdoors
sports in the southwest. When the
golf team went to Bisbee to play sew
eral years ago he entertained them at
the hotel at his expense, no one from
FL PasO being allowed to spend a cent.
He visited here frequently and, had a
world of friends in this section
Il see there is to be meeting of
citizens at the courthouse this even
ing" A. p. Coles says, Ito consider the
plan for building a consolidated county
and city building. I am in favor of the
combined building, and / would advO-
cate selling off the san Antonio street
front, 260 feet wide by 100 feet deep,
and using the money received from this
to build a four story, combination
structure for both city and county Of
fices. Such a building would have a
frontage on Overland street and could
have an alley in the rear. It would be
permanent building to house the city
and county offices for all time to come
and would be much more convenient
than the present arrangement of sepa-
rate buildings for the county and city,
both of which are too small"
B. c. Edwards and wife. of Los An
geles, Calf, were visitors at the
chamber of commerce MIR. Edwards is
a real estate man Of the coast city, and
one of the active members of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce.
We took four hour spin around FL
Paso, said he, and it reminded me OF
our home city. with hundreds of bunga-
lows and handsome residences in course
of construction. Outside Of Los An
geleS have not seen a city that 1
would rather live in than Ell Paso. The
climate is ideal good water fine

Gus people that I have met. Ny wife

in the near future with the expectation
Of making few weeks stay"
Opinion among the fight fans seems
10 be IN favor of a return match be-
tween FRANKIE Gage and Fighting
Thorpe for the southwestern light
weight title" says Ed Stewart, official
referee of the International Athletic
club This fight seems to be the only
one staged at Juarez that has received
the full appreciation of fight fans 1
am in favor of a return bout myself, as
l believe that it would be a highly at
tractive card at Jusrez."

Because the monograph and piano
players bring to the people, music,
artists and compositions that they
might otherwise never be able to hear,
the influence of these on raising the
standard of music is ten times greater
than any other source" said Parvin
Wltte- Most people when they get one
of these instruments buy a number or
popular music records with a few of
the standard records The better rec
ords invariably make them tire of the
inferior music, and uncOnsciOusly raise ]
lheir taste. Besides that the records
make them familiar with the best
operas and standard compositions"
