Coleman, foreman of the
/ city waterworks, says. THE wells on
/ the mesa are given a rest each year
J after the wear and tear of supplying
! water to the city during the summer.
! 1t is about time for the vacations now
and some of the big wells Will be
! given a rest on full pay. There is one
/ big well out there that has been aver
] aging 200 or more gallons minute
night and day since 1906, and il has a
/ vacation coming. Fall and winter is
the light time for the WaterWOrks, as
! there is not as much water used in
winter as in summer. There is less
SDrinklinE, less water is used for do
nestle purposes and less for baths
yes, the bathing season closes here in
cold weather
Some ingenious native son in Cali
fOrnia mas put one over on the coun-
try in the Filipino nuts which are be-
ing offered for sale" says George
Franklin. These nuts are artificially
cOlored and polished TO make them
look attractive, as they would never
sell in their original states. The nuts
are gathered, dyed, and then given
high polish to sell them. The nut
itself is not of any special quality and
the whole thing looks like a buncO
game to me. There are many of these
same things offered to the trade and
the buyers must be on the alert all
the time to prevent being sold a gold
brick"
q am confident" says patrolman ".
R Hawkins, who from 1 o'clock in the
afternoon until $50, is stationed in the
center of the intersection of oregon
and san Antonio streets" that 1 could
make great Improvement on these
tight skirts that are being affected by
some women. Here the patrOlman
lodged a Park car and an automobile
coming from opposite directions.
Getting back to the discussion of
millinery articles Hawkins continued, !
I say that I could make improvements 2
in these tight skirts NY recommend I
alton would be that the skirts should
not be worn. Let me tell you what !
prompted the idea I was standing here Z
the other day lodging cars and au- .
tOmObiles, when I saw a woman cross /.
ing the street She had on one of e.
these skirts which was exceptionally {
tight. Having reached the curbing and I
making a failure of the attempt to
step up on the walk. she then pranced
up and down. Finally she jumped and
landed with both feet on the sidewalk. f
Now do you think that would wear /
a skirt that 1 could hardly walk in, I
much less jump. would not"

declared Tom Lea. 1.-The head lines
viii run like this: Huerta will not
resign unless Wilson does 1t would
not surprise me to see Huerta send f
just such a message to Wilson. The
thing that 1 am hoping for is that
HueTta will elect himself president OF I

is going to do about it. That would 4
be like a Mexican. Speaking about /
that makes me think of the Mexican
girl at the house. On the morning of !
the FL Paso-Phoenix auto race, she /
came running into the house. She was ]
so excited she could scarcely catch her
breath
-Oh. Mr. Tom Lea she cried. Some
thing awful must have happened I /
theenk many peepul were killed. There I
were so many crowds around the Ma |

saw a little blood on the sidewalk in [
front of the building.
There was not a half minute diff :,
ference in the time of the racing cars
that started on the FL Paso-Phoenix
race when they came through the
smelter settlement declared motor
the way in which the race was started
out of here and the manner in which
every driver observed the rules is COM
mendable. When the racers entered
the smelter precinct I timed them all,
and there was not variance OF over
a half minute in the time Of each. Had
7 known that everything would have
been so orderly and well directed, the
cars could have gone 40 miles an hour
through the smelter town They could
have done this ] mean, and no one /

] paced every one of the cars through
the precinct Not a one ran faster
through there than the other. Every
driver stayed right with me. The race
that Johnny Johnson made is remark
able. He had only been in that car
two hours before he went into the
race. He showed his nerve and ability
as d driver"
There has been a great increase Of
travel through Ell Paso," said union
depot gateman Charlie Bunts, "and we
have some amusing experiences with
the travelling public A few days ago
a man who said he was an attorney
of New York City asked me If we had
United States time in FL Paso. Thurs
day morning a young woman missed
her train for the east by taking too
much time in kissing her husband
good bye. The conductor was shout
ing All aboard and the young woman
had her lips glued to those OF her hus-
band and before they could uncouple
the train had gone on its way. The
