G6"YE will soon be riding pris-
Nv Oners to the city jail in an
automobile" said police
chief I. N. Davis. "The city council
adopted the recommendation of alder
man Hewitt for the purchase Of the
auto and I have put in the necessary
requisition for it. The patrol car will
serve a double purpose. In addition to
hauling in prisoners we will use it on
emergency calls"
This wind threatening to blow up
some cold weather makes me afraid
for these fruit trees that are budding
out" said park commissioner J. J. Con-
ners. Il anticipate some cold, freezing
weather and in the event that it comes
I am afraid that the fruit trees. as
well as flowers, are going to suffer.
The warm weather we have been haV-
ing has started the flowers to bloom
ing and the trees to budding. There
would be no way to save the trees
if a freezing spell strikes them"
'T hope the the idea Of building
stadium on the High school grounds
will materialize," said L. A. Moltane
1T would be a splendid thing for the
whole city, besides being a boost for
that section Of town. and increasing
both its attractiveness and property
value. The situation Of the hills is
ideal for such n project, which would
Paso. As long as the whole scheme
Of the land and buildings has to be
laid out it gives the school board the
chance to plan for big things and to
do this up right, even if this should
require several years before the conn
pletion of the project"
IF dust carries germs" says G. L.
Bancroft, there is a good deal of dan
ger in visiting the Mexican prison
camp at Fort Bliss. If there is any
breeze at all, it stirs up the dust and
when the wind is heavy the whole
plain where the prisoners are camped
is filled with flying sand. I see by the
Herald that smallpox and scarlet fever
have been discovered among the pris-
oners. Visitors who are drawn there
only by curiosity ought to be careful
about approaching the camp"
although this position has been a
trying one, will be sorry to leave
Juerez," says Gen. z. A. Benavides,
commander OF the, Juarez garrison and
ordered held in readiness to go south
at any hour. 1T has kept me busy
attending to the thousand and one
things that have come up IN Juarez.
1 think have made some good friends
on the American side and am sorrow
full at the thought Of leaving them.
But on the other hand it will seem
good to get back near Torreon, which
is the home Of most of the men in my
command"
Manual training in our public
schools is doing great deal for the
boys" said D. E. Chenault, one Of the
manual training instructors. Perhaps
the most important thing accomplished
is the cultivation Of the boys patience. !
In working on an object that takes a
great deal of planning, the boys are
often at first impatient and want to
ut 1aHr raT -
the model. They find, though, that it
lakes more time in the end to correct (
the mistakes made from too hasty
start than it does to plan every detail
of the work carefully before begin !

when I buy another automobile
said George R. LIE Baron, "the first |
thing I will ask the salesman is !
whether he has a service station in FL 4!
Paso and whether or not that station
will be in existence three years after
7 buy the car. This is as important I
as the make of the car the kind of an
engine or anything else which is con-
sidered in buying an automobile A |
service station means that your car !
will be cared for by mechanics who /
their cars. Another thing |
I have noticed since I have been driv- /
ing a car. A man will take the best \
of care of his blooded horse. have it ]
carefully groOmed and stabbed. But he /
will drive an automobile as he would I
never think of driving horse and |
then, wonder why the blamed thing /
breaks down"
Billy S. clifford, the American actor, !
while in England, was invited to spend !
a weekend in the country by a dis /
and elderly duchess, who |
rather patrOnizes Americans.
After Clifford had arrived and had I
been shown to the great hail. his
hostess came in. "Oh, Mr. Clifford"
she gushed ct am so glad, so very
glad to have you as my guest! You
see I love Americans, and know all
about you. Oh, indeed, yes do 1
know all about you"
Clifford looked around apprehen-
sively. IF that's So" he asked, how
did I get in
