El Paso's Housing Problem

In such weather have been experiencing lately,
the problem Of housing the very numerous Spanish
speaking labOring population becomes increasingly in
sstent upon the attention of thoughtful citizens In
winter, poor housing is to slight degree more
question Of discomfort than of danger. In it
is matter of death and of public menace.
The whole community IS in a measure responsible
for the existence of novels that not fit for habita-
ton The community has the power to require decent
habtatons and 1t does not exercise the power; it has
the law, and it does not enforce the law.
In winter, 1t is usually said that 1t would be in
humane to dsposess the howell jewellers In hard weather
But 1t is necessary to get after the sometime
and why not now, during the summer season, when
the discomfort Of changing their abodes would be less
for the unfortunate than the discomfort of remain
ing where they are?
is easy to show that decent houses for the poorer
classes pay the landlords we-pay extraordinarily
high interest Men and women do not choose to live
worse than beasts. The community should to it
that decent housing shall be provided for all its people
All that is necessary is to enforce the requirements of
law. The land and capitalists will do the rest
they are made to feel the force Of public opinion
It viii pay to furnish decent houses But the ten
dency of humankind is to do the least that is per
mssible in regard to tenement construction, and
long such places disgrace FL Paso permitted
to exist, just long they will exist

Humane Side Of Preparedness"

Speaking about the necessity Of preparedness for
self defence as fixed national policy, Gen A T. Mills,
chief of the division OF militia affairs gives this
sage to the people of the United States:
Average Americans Of intelligence realize the
resources but they fail to realize that
these resources Of ours cannot be availed Of in a
minute 1t takes months to make soldiers and many
TO make munitions and j you
civilians to give thought to bringing your to
understand the real obligations Of citizenship II

opportunity TO himself for it. for if il is fated
that is to die he will then die nObly and be
honor TO his parents and country. II he is not
trained and is called, and he dies. his taking OF Will
be an ignoble one"
Every boy and above the age of 10 should
have elementary military training If he shall not
have had it in school, it should be made by law a
part Of his required public duty Such training in the
elements Of military preparedness constitutes bur
den the individual the community. On the
contrary it is distinct service to the individual help
ing to fit him better for his life work. whatever il
may be. And to the community it may day

That remark of Gen. Mills's deserves to have uni

state is going to take him It is better for your
science you give him opportunity to prepare him

This is not miltarism- It is humanitarianism

but stick to the land. They are found
in mountains along with mountain
goats. edeIweiss, guides. tourists,
chalets and other phenomena. The
glacier. however, is larger than any
OF these. 1t is even larger than the
rich traveller who acts as if he was
renting the country with his room al
the hOtel-and il is almost as large
as the said rich travellers bill when he
leaves and the hotel proprietor gets his
turn TO be Impressive.
The glacier originates in the upper
regions Of eternal snow. This snow
had no chance to melt and as more
snow keeps falling all the time it
finally gets squeezed into ice. When
a valley has been filled with ice the
whole mass begins TO slide majestical-
y down hill When it reaches the tor
rid zone where the tourist pays his
hotel bill the lower end Of the glacier
melts off and forms river while more
snow crowds in behind the upper end
and makes more glacier

many miles long They are also a

the subject it viii not be amiss TO re-
view the facts dug up IN Texas IN the
last few weeks in regard to the
Robertson bin, which required foreign
companies to invest IS percentum OF
their premiums collected in this state,
in Texas securities, and the Gibson
bill. which removes this qualification
Up to 1907 the northern companies
had collected in premiums S12,OOO.OOO
In the same time they disbursed to
beneficiaries so, 100000 with $1,000 900
invested in Texas, taking S4S,OOO,OOO
out of the state.
Since 1907 20 odd companies left the
state and at once raised an enormous
fund to fight the law.
Official records show that $4,000
was spent by the insurance companies.
Nobody knows how many more thOus-
ands were used that are not on record

season crack about ten feet wide and a
few hundred feet deep. When the tour
list steps into a crevasse he usually
stays there until the glacier carries him
down TO its terminals and delivers him
in fine state Of preservation about ~
years later
The most remarkable thing about the
glacier is its motion. A glacier does
not make as much noise as a 10 year
old boy running his fathers automobile
but il gets there just the same. 1t has
a relentless forward movement which
nothing can stOp-not even a federal
judge with an injunction Still it is
not hard to dodge a glacier A moder-
ately active man can keep out Of its

goodbye to a personal friend who is
taking a trip on glacier.
Millions OF years ago most OF the
world was covered with glaciers and
they came down as far as New York
city. These happy days have gone,
however. and the New Yorker who
wants ice has to tip the ice man for
carrying 100 pounds OF it up four
flights between his thumb and fore
finger.

A New American Invention

In the American Machinist, a trade publication of
the Hill Publishing company, there is an advertisement
of the Cleveland Automatic Machine company an
nouncing machine for making poisonous shrapnel
shell The advertisement reads in part:
