Miss Irwin Likes Peppers
Is Fond OF Housekeeping and Wants
Some Juarez Peppers When She
Gets Home; Little Interviews.
66T WISH I could get those peppers
In New York" said Miss Mav

Irwin, as she made trir
through the Juarez market house
Thursday afternoon and admired some
big, long green chile peppers. Il dearly
love them and I just can't get them in
New York at all -
When you get back home, write me
and I'll send you some" said Mrs q A.
Martin, who was accompanying Miss
| Irwin through the market will YOU:
/ Well, believe me, 1 will remind you.
am very fond of peppers and I like
! them in much of my cooking Can I
/ cook? Why, bless you, yes Don't you
/ forget that when am at home 1 am a
| real houSekeeper." In private life Miss
| Irwin is Mrs. Eisfeldt and her husband
! is her business manager.
I This is a quaint old town and I am
| delighted with it," Miss Irwin cOntin-
ued, as she mOtOred from place to place
! IN Juarez. "Uh, I hope they don't start
/ anything while we are here-Tm too
fat to miss the bullets" she said again,
/ Shudderlng, as she visited one of the
| stores and the clerk showed her a
number of holes in the furniture and
I windows, made by the bullets of the
villa rebels the last time they attacked
( the city.
( Il am certainly surprised at the size
of FL Paso," Miss Irwin declared, after
] the return to this side of the line.
/ Your bungalow homes here are Just
{ lovely, 1 thought Ell Paso about half
( its real size. You have splendid paved
/ streets, handsome business houses and
such substantial neat, attractive
! homes have not been to Ell PasO in
years and I am delighted with and
l surprised at the place.
I think the White House store in FL
PasO IS one of the finest places Of its
\ kind that I have seen in the country,
/ in fact, all of your bigger stores are
uDtodate. and I did a good deal Of
! shopping for Christmas here today
Miss Irwin returned 10 her hotel
shortly after o'clock in the afternoon
I = f. # TTr~n ar hrsn.a
/ hours before performance, she eX-
/ planned. Il never like to go to the
| theater feeling tired, for I cannot give
7 my audiences my best work ! believe
when the people pay for performance,
/ they are entitled to the best and
never Skimp. 1 try just as hard on
the one night stands to give as good
performance as IN New York, and It
J is even more important that 1 should,
/ for in New York they can see me
/ often, while on the one night stands
they cant, and If 1 am tired and give
a poor performance, they will not come
to see me the next time I come, and
they will not think they have had their
moneys worth. I want everybody to
80 away from one of my performances
feeling as if they were entirely salts
fled"

layed three days, necessitating her

obtains enough rentals for two-thirds
of the rooms in the present building,
the upper floors will be finished
This move on ordinance would be
all right if it were enforced properly,
but it is not and the way the Mexican
refugees are blocking the streets
makes the going hard, especially for
women and girls down town" Dr. G. H
Higgins says A man stopped me on
the street to tell me about his sick
child He was in a hurry and so was
T. We had talked about one minute
when the policeman told US TO move
on. as we were blocking traffic. Yet
the Mexicans will cOngregate in front
of the Mills building and on other cor
