66T HAVE seen High school teams
in every section Of the country
said Lieut.. H. n Nelly of the goth
infantry who is an old West Point star.
For the past 10 years I. have taken
an active interest in football and during
that time have never seen a football
squad have such promising material
as IS possessed by the 81 PasO High
school in any of the High schools which
1 have seen. I believe that almost any
of the prominent eastern coaches could
take the Hi squad of last season, and
within a month, develop a team when
would clean up any high school that
has ever played in the country. l 40
not except the wonderful Hyde Park
high school of Chicago which made
such a remarkable record when the
great Eckersan played quarter back
for them. And have not the slightest
doubt that the squad could be developed
so as to defeat many of the college
teams in the country. do not recall
ever having seen as many big men on
high school team. And almost with
out exception they are fast and have
natural football ability"

1T is a remarkable thing that after
there has been one genuine holdup
lot of fake holdups are reported,
said Billy Smith, city detective. In the
office of chief of detectives j. e. stan
sci, where alleged victims are fire.
quently closeted to get at the tacts OF
the case, confessions are made OF which
the public never hears. Money lost IN
gambling, or squandered in other ways,

story of being held up and no one is the
wiser except, perhaps, CHIEF DAVIS and
the city detective force we can NOT
be blamed if sometimes we are skept-
cal about reported holdups.
I'VE had a very successful meeting
of the grand lodge" said George Il:
Morgan, secretary of FL Paso lodge OF
MasOns, who has just returned from
Waco. 1T was well attended and much
work was accomplished. I am glad to
be back in the land Of rarified air,
though, and feel better already.

1.-THE Made in Ell Paso' exhibit this
year should be strictly for home made MAD
goods" said Robert Krakauer. The
success of this exhibition is assured
and later it will probably be enlarged
until it becomes an FL Paso and South-
west exhibit. But the first show
should be strictly a home affair. The
consequently were abandoned after one
or two trials. This show, starting as q
purely local midWinter feature, is strict
| ly an FL Paso affair and should be kept
as such until its natural growth takes
| in a larger territory"
1.-THE real estate situation in FL PasC
! is really in excellent shape" said f
] NJ Filler. More out of town people
| than ever before are being attracted
; to this city and many Of them are seek

| is unprecedented and this gives then
/ fine opportunity for investment. There
| is no reason to doubt that the coming
! year will see a bigger boom in building
| than the city has ever enjoyed"

| Business men should be more con-
siderate of the newsbOys' feelings,
= said Rev. W. C. Baber. These LITTLE

( men of the future and they deserve
much credit for their enterprise anC
