GGTL PAsO should hold traffic
ordinance education day." said
George LeBaron. "The new
traffic ordinance mas many provisions
and the people Of the city would be a
long time in familiarizing themselves
with all Of the regulations. I think a
good plan would be to Edetail all the
police that can be spared on the day
the ordinance becomes effective and
station them at the principal street
crossings. Civilian volunteers could
also be secured for the work. Each of
the policemen would familiarize them
selves with all the provisions of the
ordinance and, II this system were
maintained day or two. the public
would soon become familiar with the
new regulations"

are fighting in the convention forces
are without foundation" said Julian
Beranza. villa has not prosecuted the
priests, but he has taken a strong stand
aainst those who, under the cover Of
the church, have plotted aainst the
best interests Of the country. The very
last class that he would have any deal

sense, are the priests

state are pretty quiet" said John F.
Quad, who spent the holidays in Gal

shape than the interior cities, but none
Of them seem to be holding up as well

preston. In Galveston there is cOnsid-
cradle shipping, but cotton is not NOV

less than the usual number OF Migrants
passing through Of course. FL Paso,
being on a line of trans continental
travel. is always infested more or less
with tramps. AID we are not free Of
them now. But under the general con-
ditiOns existing throughout the coun-
try we might expect a larger number
than are now visiting the city"
Even the children are interested IN
the war news" said Mrs. Edith era
ham Coyne, the librarian. "As much as
they like fairy stories at the story
hour, they repeatedly ask for stories
about soldiers. The war has had
most noticeable effect in altering to
a large extent the kind of literature in
demand by the borrowers Of books at
the library People are reVerting back

This campaign. if it is to be a sue
cess for the County and City Democrat
lie club ticket, must be conducted as
business is conducted and without per-
sonalities." said W. B. Ware. 1.-THE
days Of political campaigns in which
abuses. personal encounters, charges
and counter charges were made have
passed and politics has been lifted to a
much more dignified plane. This is as
it should be for there is no reason why
a man who offers himself for public
office should be villified for his efforts.
The County and City Cub has started
lut to put this sound political principle
nto practice. The conduct of the af-
fairs of a city or county like FL Paso
city or county is a big job for big
business man."
