BY THELBIA BEESON,
Third Year in High school.

vi PAso! How much the name
II stands for, now and in the past
- At the present it stands for
progress, civic Improvement and ad-
vancement. Years and years ago it
stood for the only place where pro-
lection and shelter could be secured,
the only place where food and water
could be had for journey Of about
1000 miles.
Ell Paso was first known over $50
years ago by the followers of Coronado
in 154O-1542. These people founded
large, prosperous agricultural villages.
However. the most authentic history
dates from 1898. Onate and his fol-
lowers coming from Zacatecas fOrded

Juarez now stand. They took posses

provinces in the name of the Spanish

authors, but the most authentic state

Some one has said that civiliza-

the scent with remarkable ease. But
CIVILIZATION and soap work together with
great harmony and produce joyful re-

Soap IS missionary, but it does not
collect key of money and 90 over the
ocean TO some benlghted strand, in order
TO get on the Job. When a cake OF
soap wishes to extend the borders of

tenement ward, nine blocks from the
LOUIS Quatorze district. where the bath
TUBS are used for coal bins and the chill
Gfen wear last years coats of dirt
through the winter for underclOthes.
Alter cake of soap has worn itself
away IN this district, the results are SO

IIlehds ON the street even to leeWard
without noticing them.

100 Years Ago Tooay

ENRY kIRKE BROWN, who IS
ranked by many as the foremost
American sculptor of his period,
was born 100 years ago today in Leyden
Mass. He received the ordinary training
of a farmers boy, and made his first
attempt in art wheE. lad of II years,
Through the aid of friends he was en-
abled to spend several years IN Italy.
Upon his return to the United States in
1916 he opened a studio in New York
and with the aid Of skilled wOrkmen
from Europe made the first bronze casts
ever attempted in America. His bronze
statue of Dewitt Clinton, in Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, was the first bronze
statue ever executed in the United
States. Other of Mr.. Browns well known
works are the statues of George Wash
lngton in Union square, New York; OF
Lincoln, in Prospect park, Brooklyn. and
of Gen. Greene, in the capitol at Wash
ington. Mr.. Brown died in Newburg,
