Thrilling Escape From Juarez

Conditions in Mexico are bad enough, in all con-
science without Americans going out Of their way to
make them appear worse than they One Of the
most prolific sources Of transformation all over the
United States is the irresponsible who spends hour
OF day this point and goes back home to pose
oracle on Mexico Texas and other provinces Of heaven
Some of these people, to gain little local nOtoriety
tell the most astonishing tales Of hardship danger and
adventure To read their interviews in their home
papers, would gain the idea that when they escaped
from here they had fight their way out with knives;
they even show their torn shirts to prove their stories;
fortunately most Of them their carved leather
hatbands lasting mementO Of their frontier ex-
periences.
An AsheviHe, N. C., paper the other day contained
interview with Rush Oates It IS not clear whether
he has been most influenced in his es development
and career by the Rush the Oates part Of his name
but certainly nobody viii dispute with him the posses
sion of the J.
Says he, IN the AsheYille paper:
Going to Juarez from FL Paso Americans
warned that when they the bridge which separ-
ates the United States and Mexico. they take their
lives in their own hands They go into Mexico with
that warning in mind and few disregard it."
It is safe to say that if any such warning given
to J. Rush Oates when he last here It intended
by the policeman in the most kindly spirit to keep him
from breaking his neck running back when
inspiring fire whistle blew for dinner.
Juarez is almost quiet a cemetery, and con-
siderably safer than a bridge party.

"Nopel' Tommie said And, very
sadly. Kittie went on back through the
woods with her doll Matilda Janet
Lollypopcandy. Uncle Wigglly didn't
think Tommie did ust right, not TO
let his sister play. but the old RABBIT
gentleman said nothing and kept on
through the woods and over the fields
Uncle Wiggily had not gone very far
before all of a sudden he heard loud
yelling and calling and meouwin- IN
a Clump of trees
That must be Tommie and Joie Kat
playing cowboy and Indian said the
rabbit gentleman to himself. I guess
they must be having lots Of fun. It's
too bad Kittie hasn't some one to
play with. I think III find her and
tell her a fairy story"
Uncle Wiggily started back to find
Kittie Kat and the cries and shouts in
the wood became louder The rabbit
gentleman could hear one of the cat
boys calling
Help. Help, uelp, Oh. viii no one
help me. oh, Uncle Wiggily- Jole-
Somebody please cone and help me-
'-Ha, Ha.' laughed the rabbit gem

that was Tommie Kat, playing a make

think he was in trouble 1t sounds
very natural the way he calls. But
OF coudse it's only in fun"
So Uncle WigEilv kept on looking
for KiJtie Kat and her doll, Alice
Houeybee Ticklefeather. and the rab-
bit gentleman laughed again as he
heard Tommie calling:
.Helpi Oh. come quickly some one;
Oh. Pm caught fast"
That really does sound as though
TCmmie were in some sort OF trouble
Uncle WiEgily thought Hes making
noise enough for two cats"
The rabbit gentleman could not find
Kittie. He looked all over in the
woods for her and he was thinking
she must have gone back home, when
all at once, as Uncle Wiggily turned
around a corner b. a chestnut tree,
he saw queer sight In front Of a

Dear Miss Fairfax
The girl am engaged to told me
an untruth- I forgave her, and now her
friends advise her TO give me up, as
1 have shown distrust. and as 1 put
myself out of my way. to find her out
in a lie. The fate of our friendship
depends on your decision. and until the
answer appears we have decided to
remain apart 1 am very fond Of her
and believe nv love is returned. so
would find it pretty hard if trifle like
this should come between US.
F. ". B.
If the girl admits that she was IN
truthful you certainly have done no
thing wrong. She would be foolish to
allow outsiders to influence her hap
piness.i Cant you make up your diff
ferences and make it a point to stick
