NJ live one. said AIVeS DIAOLL
He is coming here to give
a talk before the advertising club and
every business man who advertises or
reads advertisements, should hear him.
I heard him give a talk In Los Angeles
when L was out there last summer and
it was the best of its kind I have ever
heard. I am not boosting the AID cIuO'
but that is one feature that no bust
ness man can afford to miss. Mr
WOOdhead is one Of those natural
takers who does not depend upon his
CratOricaI ability to get him by, but
entirely upon his logic and fOrcetuI
way of putting it."
eve are wondering what viii hap
pen when the Mexican refugees from
Ojinaga get to riding back and forth
from the fort to FL PasO on the street
cars" said George Rogers, of the
United States railway mail service.
when the NacO prisoners were out
there we had to stand up to let a lot
of those camp followers sit down and
they had a number of knock down and
drag out fights on our cars. They are
a menace, for they have all been eX-
posed to the smallpox and our children
must ride down town and back with
them. 1 think the street car company
should run separate car for them, II
that is possible, and segregate them or
keep them off the line entirely
These amateur correspondents who
wear yellow pants and puttees give
me a pain" said Tod McCamy- They
come down here from the east, buy a
pair of those riding 'britches' and
legglngS and go to the front The re-
suit is that they look as much like the
rebel and federal fighters as possible
and are in double the danger from
bullets because Of their clothes than
they would be if they were dressed as
sane civilian would be. Knowing
the MeXican's character as / do, l
would 20 to war with all my Spangles
on if I was trying to get news. rather
than dress up like a hotel lobby hero
and take a chance on being shot first
and questioned later"
without detractinE from the Ad
club or any of its officers or mem
bers," said director of the chamber
Of commerce. 4 wish to correct the
impression that the Ad club was re-
spOnsible for placing a writeup or
other advertising in the Sunset mag
azine or any other one The Sunset
contract was made long before the Ad
club was organized and for the past
two months display pages have ap-
peared in the magazine and WrlJeup
has already been prepared and VIII
appear next month. There IS another
little correction which the chamber OF
commerce deserves TO have made In
the morning paper there was a story
about a brick plant and union head
quarters coming to FL Paso. 1t added
that the chamber Of commerce was not
inclined to favor either project. I
never was approached about either
of these projects and I have been
fairly active in the work of the
chamber. That was the first had
heard Of it
why does not the street railway
run an extra trailer on the Arizona
street car around o'clock at night
asked NJ H. MacCauum, as he reached
for a strap while the conductor rang
up the 18th passenger. Every evening
from shortly before 6 o'clock till about
20 minutes after. the cars are packed
as though we were Sardines. instead of
people. If traflers were put on the
three cars that run close to o'clock
line would be able to ride home from
their days work with some degree Of
comfort"
at is really surprising how limited
a vocabulary is used by the majority
Of people" said c. c. Golden. Il do
not believe that the average person
uses more than 500 words. A range
of from $50 uD would be more nearly
the average Our language IS IuII on
words which describe each different
shade of meaning. but we seem to
catch on to some particular expression
that suits us, and use it for every ana
all occasions"
'1 wish some one would boost TINS
sidewalk proposition declared alder
man W. s. Clayton. THE trouble Inal
we are experiencing is that John on
the corner of the block wants to put
down a sidewalk. but is waiting until
Smith puts his down. If that pOucy
was always carried out it would re-
suit IN no walks being constructed A
sidewalk is one of the best investments
thai can be made on a piece OF prop
ert! man looking at a lot with
view to purchasing it never considers
that he IS paying part of the pur-
chase price for the walk. Yet if there
is no walk he is apt to think that the
is not very attractive. 1t is
just like man gOlnS TO purchase
suit of clothes. If the clothes are
wrinkled and the man selling the SUIT
shows that he is not overly anxious 10
make the sale the purchaser IS go
ing to be backward about buying.

While the police, detectives and
sheritfs are being boosted / wish that
some one would boost the dogs,' de
clared Bill Ten Eycke. Il have al
ways cOntended, and always viii that
II would be a paying proposition Tor
the city and county to go in together
and purchase a pair of good blood
mounds to run down murderers- DoSs
like that are better than all the Of
ficers you can possibly get. When Lew
Vidal was killed if there had been
two good dogs in town the officers
would have been able to trail and
catch the murderer inStanter. one
man should be employed at a good
salary to care for the dogs and he
should understand how to work with
them"
The FL Paso chamber Of commerce
is a live organization. but I don't be-
Heve its members gully realize the
possibilities of this section" says T.
