SAVING THE STRING,

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Ny mother taught me never to throw
ANYTHING away. We always saved the
string from bundles rolled it up and
put it away in a string box. We never
had to buy any string. We did just the
same about wrapping paper and many
other things. We never wasted any
thing. Such ways of economy helped
US materially to get along comfortably
on a very moderate income.
Those habits cling to me still I still
save the string but it seems to me that
people in general are now far more
wasteful in little things han they used
to be. An Old Fashioned Woman.

SUGGESTS ANTI-sPITTING LEAGUE

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Is it not possible that we brag 100
much concerning our progressive
spirit in FL PasO? In more than one
respect indeed we lag behind the times
and even fail to emulate the snail VINO
at least does not crawl backward. FOR
instance, there was a day when mem
hers of the Civic league made occa-
sional and efficient use of the rive
Dollars afSpit" ordinance. 1t was only
a scare, but it worked just the same.
Now the filthy n disgusting haolI
of expectoratiOn, which decency alone
should prohibit is unchecked on our
streets, sidewalks, front yards-every-
where, in short. Few are the spots
which escape pollution, and the OFFEND
ers against health and cleanliness are
to be found among sick and well, doc
tors and laymen, and are of both sexes.
Here is a chance for the various
woman's clubs to get busy-to found
an anticipating league, to enlist mem
bers to do as other clubs and other
cities have done in the name of com
mon decency, and remove this relic or
barbarism, even as laWlessness IN every
form can be checked by honest en-
deavor. A northern city sent a Million
aire to the rock pile recently for per
sistent speeding on the streets. Hav-
ing no millionaires 70 spare, such
drastic measures either as regards
speeding or splitting scarcely befit US,
but on the other hand We need not sub
nit cupinely to nuisances loathsome,
dangerous, or both.

rHE EXAMPLE oF CoRrEz.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The repulse of the Germans in their
first advance on Warsaw was certainly
not more decisive and disastrous than
the expulsion of COrtez from the city Of
Mexico after he had actually estab-
lished his camp there. On a second at
tempt may not the Germans succeed as
completely as COrtez overwhelmed the
~barbarians opposing him?

The service Sunday morning at the

Splendid music was rendered by the

virtues of the society. He said in

to inspect the new Milwaukee terminal
on the old DAILY tract, just south of

them being in cases of much impor-
