66X 7 on should have seen US dis
tributing those layettes among
the Mexican mothers at the
prison camp Saturday chaplain AK
ton, of the goth infantry, said Sunday
afternoon. These babies had no cloth
ing and when the Ell Paso good women
sent out a wagon load Of clothes that
they had made, I undertook the task
of distributing it we went from tent
to tent, giving each mother of a new
born babe a complete outfit. They were
so pleased tEat their faces Deamed.
We have a Mexican woman at each
tent where a new arrival has come
and they care for the mother and child
while the American hospital corps
look after their health and supplies
them with the necessary drugs and
soap. This is a great experience for
the goth and every man is enjoying Ii
and is too busy to kick about the
wind, the work and the weather
That Gridiron minstrel was filled
with the right kind OF Ell Paso spirit"
Z. P. Kepley said Saturday. Had the
evening been devoted to a few after
dinner speeches and this Gridiron stunt
the women who were our guests that
night would have been pleased instead
of bored. None of the jokes in the
minstrel were personal, there was
nothing said or done to offend any
one, the music was fine and the
sketches were cleverly worked out.
The Gridiron boys were handicapped
because of the lateness of the hour
and it was necessary to cut the show
short to allow the people to get their
last cars home But it saved the even
ing and we appreciated every bit of
it. am for having it again and not

THE death of Mary Woods, pioneer

/ band John Woods" said Ben Moore

and oregon streets IN a little adobe
hut. The WOOdses came her from

] Mesa and Mills, where the new Com
mercial building will go up. John was

It was before the hour when they
went on shift. Mounted policeman
! Charley Henderson was reading the adj
( ventures of Sherlock Holmes. His
brother officer, w. Simpson, was seated
near him reading "Roughtng It"
/ Charley is going to join the force up
/ stairs" said Dad" Warnock That ac-
/ counts for his reading that character
/ of literature. You notice now that he
is wearing his hat at Just the prOper
! angle. In Simpsons case I can't figure
out what connection the book he is
/ reading has to do with being a DO
! hceman. 1t may be that Henderson
/ and Simpson have reading contest
! on, Simpson thinking that he could
| rough it. quicker than Charley could
/ ..sleuth it. I will let you know how
| "The conductors on the Fort Bliss
/ line haven't had a very easy time since

ward car. Sundays from the time the

/ fares. Almost everyone wants to make
I the trip to the fort to see the Drisone,,s
! The cars are packed going and com

I to breathe. If the movies drew the

business would be mighty good
would not mind having a moyine mir

week or so interest viii be LOST in

game" said Mrs. II. A. Never u7b0se
husband, Lieut. Meyer, is a polo en-
thusiast, 'and we hope to have these

equally popular here in FL Paso,"
