There are a number Of mutual bene-

THE police department of FL Paso
has done good and timely work in
! rounding IN the hoboes that have ar
rived here in considerable numbers
/ lately" said justice J. J. Murphy. They
have grabbed them in large crowds as
they came into the city, thus stopping
/ any crimes that would likely be COM
mitted If they were permitted to run
unchecked. I may add that I think
! the El Paso police very efficient at all
/ times, and that as a result the city is
4 freer of crime than most cities having
/ the same amount of transient travel"

although the growth of FL Paso has
( been remarkable in the last few years,
/ the valley has kept apace." said Har-
/ old Kilburn. The Elephant Butte
! dam is. of course. primarily RESPONSE
| bic, but the growth of the city has also
! been an important cause. Settlers in
the valley know that they will have a
| regular and steady demand for their
products and they are thus insured a
4 market El PasO will help itself di-
I Tectly and indirectly by purchasing,
/ whatever vegetables. fruits and meats
/ are grown in the valley"

: Nowhere in the republic of Mexico
are affairs more muddled than in Low
1 er California" said c. L. Sinclair, Of
/ San Diego. 1T is almost Impossible to
/ tell what faction the border garrisons
! recognize. At MexicGli, in one week,
/ the officials declared for Villa, Car
/ rama and Gutierrez. There are few
! troops in the territory and reports re-
ceived at the border indicate thatecOn-
ditions to the south are very bad. The
/ whole southern part is overrun with
bandits and all industry is at a stand
/ still"
The FL Paso High school has one Of
! the finest team of girl basketball
/ players ever assembled anywhere,
/ said George JOsephs, Of Boston. "Hav-
ing a daughter Of my own who played
I several years with the champion girls
! team of Massachusetts, I have always
/ attended girls games whenever posi-
! bic during the past few years. I have
seen girls teams play basketball IN
/ every city in Texas Louisiana New
! York and may other states and have
4 never seen their equal / DO not mind
J admitting candidly that they form a
superior team even to the one which
my daughter captained.'
Mexican typical music, as played
| by orchestras like the one which has
! been here en- route to san Francisco. is
| the finest I have ever heard" said Pc
drO PinOn. These string orchestras
! are composed Of the finest musicians of
! are exquisite. The one which is here
I going to the San Francisco fair is the
! same one which plays at the Country
! club in Mexico City and its music is
the NEST wonderful thing I ever hope
TO hear. 1t was too bad that the mu-
I sicians could not give a concert here
! for it would have been A rare chance to
/ hear Mexican music played by real
! Mexican musicians.

1.-THE invention of photographs has
certainly been one of the most enjoya-
bic things for the poorer people" said
! Mrs. Paul Hcermans. People who love
music. but who might never have the
opportunity to go to New York or Chi
| cago, where CarusO and the mosi
famous and most perfect of the singers
appear, can enjoy hearing these sing
ers' voices in their own homes. 1t i;
most beneficial in the way Of givine
/ pleasure and relaxation.
