p INDIANS entertained FL PasO motor
lists at Van Patterns Dripping
\ Springs resort. 13 miles out Of Las

entertaining. Dressed in patent leather
shoes, hard boiled shirts and leather
coats they cavOrted around the
grounds, gave long WhOCps and war
-yells and delighted the FL PasOans.
During the day. Mai Eugene Van

around the resort, told them tales of
the early days and altogether made the
day a most pleasant one Tor them
The cars left FL PasO at different
hours. some going as early as o'clock
and others waiting until nearly be
fore beginning the trip. The road be-
tween FL PasO and Las Cruces was bad
in spots and from Las Cruces out
toward the resort IL was a hard climb
for five miles over rough road Be
yOnd that point, MAJ Van Patten had
removed the bOulders from the road
and, while 1t was upgrade II was not
bad
Bob Rfnehart, who is authority for
the age of the wine the major served
also says that he saw an indian there
named Juana, Gurele, who is 1O6 years
of age. There was plenty OF shade
and under the scrub oak, the IL
PasOaus ate their lunch while they had
plenty Of cool water to drink from the
driuuing springs. The water IS plped
all over the grounds.
Those who had not taken their
lunches with them were satisfied at the
hotel where accommodations were
available for all Charlie Stevens Is
planning another trip there for the FL
PasO Automobile club when the weather
becomes cooler. He says those making
the trip can find plenty of accOmmOua-
lions in the hotel, which has % rooms
