SIS II HERE seems to be some mis-
understanding about the build
ing Of the Rescue home" said
Mrs. c. F. Elliott. who is the chairman
Of the finance committee Of the Rescue
Home association. Because the home
is to- be turned over TO the Salvation
army, does not mean in any way that
the idea OF building the home is to be
abandoned, as has been enormously in
ferred by many people. The Rescue
Home association is going to continue
in its work to build the home and to
see it firmly established. From the
first, it has been the plan to have the
management Of the home completely
in the hands of the Salvation army,
because the Salvation army has proved
more experienced and more capable in
conducting home of this purpose and
in dealing with the kind OF Deople for
whom such a place is needed That
the property is to be turned over to the
Salvation army is true, as it was
deemed necessary for making less con-
fusion in business arrangements, but
the transfer is to be made with pro-
visions that will insure the perpetual
use of the property for 4 rescue home
in FL PasO. The Rescue Home assOci-
alton, which is an Incorporated assOCi-
alton under the laws of the state, viii
remain in active existence and do act
i've work, and be an assisting board to
the army in everything concerning the
rescue work.
MY idea of the acme Of nothing to
listen to-. said. the conductor on the
late night Mexico car, is the humOr
imported by the keno players, 365
nights per year. There are two or
three stock wheezes that we can be
sure of hearing at least dozen times
each night First there's the grand old
standby, No, I haven't any package
from Mexico, but you'll find one stand
ing on the back platform That's
rare old antique that has been ban
tered around since COrteZ. It's always
good for one litter at least. Then this
line Of repartee comes next: Inspector:
Have you anything from MeEicOE Yes,
an imported vacuum pocketbooR- The
boy that pulls this always looks up
with a happy smile, waiting for the ap-
plause. And the real joke is that they
get q laugh every time. It's bad enough
runs a night, but the death rate among
inspectors who have to listen to that
chatter on every car, must be appau-
ing"
From present indications" said
James Monroe, city ticket agent Of the
G. H., spring and summer traffic out
of FL PasO is going to be a record
so much business that we have had to
put on another man and, when all the
summer rates are put into erect i
look for a record breaking year.
'eThe work of the wOman's club IS
hammered by the lack Of a club house,
said Mrs A P. Averill, land when we
get a club house Of our own we VIZ
surprise even OURSELVES in the work we
can accomplish. Many clubs conduct
study classes in connection with the
departmental work of the club, ana
these accomplish a very great amount
of good, but we cannot follow this plan,
admira Bile as it is, without our own
place of meeting. It is not always
good plan to have the meetings at the
members homes, and for such a large
number of meetings as these classes
would mean, when we must rent nan
the expense would amount to more than
we could at present afford
cotton that is being brought here
from the LaEuna district in bond can
not be touched by the state courts,
said w ". Carpenter, deputy collector
of customs 1T cannot even be at
tached after It is delivered on the boat
which is to carry it out of the country, |
for it will remain in the hands OF the
customs officers until it passes hthe !
three mile limit. where jurisdiction Of /
the courts would end. I am not a law J
yer and do not know what the claim !
ants can do to recover their cotton in !
the United States court of equity but 1 /
am sure that none of the state courts /!
could have Jurisdiction over the cotton /
which are being sent through /
here to Europe by way Of Galveston /
and New Orleans"
