IS I AY walkers are worse than any
jay automobile driver that ever
was" said J. j. Raster. Jay
walkers will cross from one side Of the
street at any point in the block, many
times doing it in the center Of the
block A man driving an automobile is
naturally looking out for the street
crossing. When approaching a corner
the autoist viii slow down. That is
the point where the autoist naturally
expects pedestrians TO make their
crossings. Now, a jay walker when he
strikes the middle Of the street, may
take a notion to stand there. He isn't
looking out for anything. If an auto
mobile comes along the jay walker ex-
meets il to dodge him. Automobiles are
not so constituted hat they can dodge.
II the automobile does not dodge then
the jay walker expects 1t to stop That
part Of il is all right, but there may
be times when the brake will not work
or clutch may slip and the man in
the automoolle can't stop the ma
chine right on the dot. These are con-
tinEencies that pedestrians should
take into consideration when crossing
the streets"
"The corporation court is proficient
in every sense of the word" said J. W.
Brown. IF an American is being tried,
Judge ColdWell will try him in English.

Quoted in Spanish Il is mostly Span
fish in the corporation court The de-
PENDANT in this way is assured OF a full
and complete hearing Of his case There
is no chance for the judge to overlook
anything in his favor. There are so
few Chinese cases coming up in the
court that I do not suppose the judge
has seriously considered mastering
that language If there were many Of
these cases II would not surprise me
TO hear the proceedings conducted in
the Chinese language. OF course that
would require a little time before It
could be done
1T is strange to me that the city Of
FL Paso doesn't take measures TO put

Seventh street i'm better sanitary con-
dluon,' said Col F. j. Herman OF the
Sixth infantry. BY putting Earba Ce
cans at frequent intervals through this
district and making the residents put
their trash in them much could be ac-
compllShed Most Of the refuse could
be burned I don't think the task Of
cleaning up the district would be such
great one"

Many people have the idea that a
pageant is merely a procession. or
purely pantOmimic." said Miss Mar
Earet Kinnon. the physical training
