6RD RIVING heavy car over the /
BOrderland route is no tango !

GIN RIVING a heavy car over the
ID Borderlana route S no tango 5.:o
tea" SAID John W. Walker,
who arrived Thursday in his Mitchell
"13" from Tombstone. Ariz The roads
were SOFT, and in some places we left
no tracks, but took them along with US.
In places the car would sink into that
soft, adobe mud until there seemed to
be no bottom. There was only one thing
TO do and that was to dig out the mud
in front OF the wheels with my hands.
The result Is that l was badly in need
of a woman blacksmith to manicure
the mud from under my nails when I
arrived in FL Paso. 1 am going to buy
d lighter car, for my Mitchell is entirely
too heavy for driving over the noun
tain reads around Tombstone and in
other parts of Arizona All / need is a
basket wireless mast and coming
tower on my car to Join the Atlantic
fleet off Vera Cruz"
1.-THE problem OF feeding the refugees
and other people who have so largely
increased the population of Preside is
certainly stupendOus one. said DR..
c. p Bertrand, meat inspector of the
United States bureau of animal indus
try. over $500 pounds of meat were
shipped by one packing house alone to
Maria Wednesday and this amount will
probably only provide one meal apiece
for the vast horde OF hungry people in
that section"
while this record taking of the
physical condition Of each child is
! bringing an enormous amount of work
upon all the teachers. and especially at
this time, when we are busy with our
end of term reports and promotion
records" said one Of tn Getty school
teachers, 1T is bringing out some in
teresting facts 1 have noticed that al
most all of the pupils in my room who
are backward in their work are those
who have had the greatest number Of
diseases, and while it is a fact that We
all know, still the card index has
brought 1t to our minds more fOrcibly
than ever that the mental attainment
of a child is conditional on its phys1-
cal vitality"
you can say for me that the Bor-
derland route between FL Paso and Los
Angeles is in splendid shape and IS the
best road to follow" says Earl More
house, who is touring from Los Angeles
to New York in a Chalmers 80. we,
Bob Gray and I, have Travelled over II
nearly a month and have found II eX-
cellent. The best stretch is between FL
PasO and Phoenix There is some heavy
sand west of Yuma on the Borderlaud,
but any average car can negotiate IL

Frank Tobin gave FL Paso the inter
urban" said Harry S. Potter. Of the
Electric Railway company. Friday. Al
though he was too i'll to be at his Office
then, he took hold of the campaign 10
raise money and obtain the rightOfWay
for the interurban and he kept the pro-
iect alive when many Of those who were
more interested than TObin had dropped
out Tobin worked hard on this line
and he did much to develop the valley.
He kept after US until we finally COLI
scented 10 build. Then he started after
the property owners and 1 know that
he bought much of the land for the
rightofway out of his own pocket To-
bin was a real city builder and he viii

Not that I am going to drive that

ter Of information I would like to know
if the speed laws are applicable2
Reasoning the thing out, of course
they cannot be. The reason for the
purchase of the auto patrol, as I I'M
! derstand it, was to get immediate &C
tiOn on these hurryup calls The au-
tOmobile is putting the horse out OF
business. I wonder what is to become
of old John and Charley who have
hauled the patrol these many years?
''Times were never as good IN 81
Paso as they are today" declared
Charles DeGroff today. The mer-
chants were never doing such a good
business as today: their books show
this. They We're never selling so much
stuff as they are right now. The
business in FL PasO right along in all
lines is exceeding that of any previous
month in the history of the town, and
the merchants know it"
