CsXTI HEN I am at home home in Toledo, Toledo,
for my men," said J. N.
WHY'S, president of the Willys-Over-
land Automobile company. I have not
( touched my golf clubs for long time,
Z although I need the exercise after be-
1 ing in an office all oay 4Hu L love 10
J play the game But mink 1t IS a
J good example to set the speed at nigh
I so that my men may get the lnsplra-
4 ton right from the engine But when
! come west and have six weeks, I
/ loaf, play golf at Pasadena ana for
! get business and automobiles, although
! I never entirely get the subject out of
| my mind
/ cut a S1O,OOO,OO0 melon with his en-
! plOyes is being watched with interest
1 in the automobile world NO one but
/ Henry Ford knows how It worked
/ out We had a few men quit and go
/ to Detroit but from what can under
! stand, the Ford plant was flooded with
] applications for men VINO were look
! ing for a soft snap at minimum of
I IS a day. We have no snaps nor min
1 imum wage scales in our Overland
! plant and every man gets exactly what
he earns paid our plant foreman
100000 a year until he died and
| thought he was cheap at that. The
Detroit automobile makers feared an
upsetting of the labor market but I
have heard of no serious effects from
the announced policy of Mr.. Ford"

'tJ. N WHY'S was in earnest when
he told you that he was planning to
erect a big Overland automobile plant
, in Ell PasO when the was was over in
Mexico said A. P. Coles, who is a
personal friends Of Mr.. WHY'S and
made a trip abroad with him recently.
He can get unlimited capital for any
thing he undertakes as MS success has
been so phenomenal in Toledo. If he
asked for 100000 he would get it.
His payroll is S35, 600 a day and he
employs more than 5000 men IN his big
factories. He inspected a number of
sites here, studied the situation both in
Ell PasO and along the border and de-
claTed before he left that FL PaSO was
the most logical place for an automo-
bile factory.
1.-THE idea of the University scholar
ship has proved intensely practical"
said Mrs Charles Klnkel; IN every
instance the scholarship has gone to
boys or girls who have needed the
scholarship financially in order TO
take up university work, and although
the scholarship provides only for the
Freshman year at the university, this
first year has in almost every instance
aroused such interest and enthusiasm
in the student that he has continued
with the university working his way
for the remainder Of the school course.
Every dollar contributed by the sub
sCribers to the University Scholarship
fund has gone direct to this fund, not
q cent of it has been spent for ex-
penses. These have been betrayed by
a fund raised separately for the eX-
penses- For the scholarship per
centage of so in all of the High school
work is required. It is the ambition
Of those interested in this scholarship
IDEA for worthy students, to eventually
raise a permanent fund so that the
scholarship can be given annually
from the interest on the fund, as that
would make the scholarship more
permanent factor"

There is going the rounds Of the
18th cavalry q story concerning one Of
the newly received recruits and his
difficulty in learning to ride horse
back. The recruit who rode as though
he had never been upon horse in his
life suddenly broke from the troop in
drill and gauOped away over the
maneuver ground who gave you per-
the captain when the rookie managed
to turn his mount about and come
back to the troop. ASK the horse
answered the rookie.
1.-THE new quarters under construc-
ton at the post are going to be eX-
ceptionally NICE said Capt W. b.
Hunt, depot duarteTmasteT. 1.-THE con-
structiOn work is progressing steadily
Although the carpenter work and IN
terror finishing may not show 50 much
progress from the exterior the build
iEgS are at a point now when every
bit of outside work shows and it
makes a pretty busy appearance, with
the row of bungalows under construc-
ton on one side of the parade ground
and the barrack buildings going up on
the opposite side. Fort Bliss is busy
place just now.
Although I caught cold In the
rain Tuesday night, the MARTINEZ ban
Quet was worth it," declared John 7.
Cain. 'Ir Martinez's talk on South
America was most interesting and I
would not have missed II Tor any Inlng-
That must be an awfully rich cOun-
try"
"The way in which the Argentine
republic looks after the emlgrants ap-
peals to me-" said police chief I. n.
Davis "As soon as an emigrant lands
in that country the government takes
charge of him and feeds him for
time The officials ascertain just what
the emigrant wants to do in the line
of engaging in a profession or bust
ness. If the emigrant states that he
wants to be a farmer, the officials find
out what sort of a crop he wants to
grow and then sends him to that part
o. the republic where that particular
character of crop is successfully
grown"
'I wonder if there will be lynch
ing in Ell Paso when Castillo arrives
tbere?' incurred Maj. ROdOlfO FierrO
trainmaster to Gen. Villa. HE has
done more to injure foreigners than
his own people and I should think
that there are many in Ell Paso who
would like to see him str1ng up To a
telegraph pole. In any case, I hope
the American authorities see fit to
turn him and his band over to US. for
We would see that justice was dealt
him" and the major laughed when he
made the final remark.
