Wise Doctor.

Some time ago Brown began to
feel little under the weather, and
a physician was summoned. A few
days later a friend called to see how
the patient was getting along.
Sorry to see you penned up, old
boy" remarked the caller, sympa-
thetically. What seems to be the
trouble?"
"Just run down a Bit" answered
the patient. "The doctor says / will
be all right in a short time"

visitor. 81 understand the doctor told
you to take plenty of fresh air."
YES" smiled the patient. He

Bitter Fighting of War.

Geneva, Nov. %, via Paris.-It is re-
ported unoficially in dispatches from
Laibach, Austria, that the fortifica-
tons of Goritz have been almost de-
stroyed by the Italian artillery.
Intense bombardment of Austrian
position in the Goritz zone Of Italian
artillery continues, according to the
official statement issued at Rome. A
successful attack was begun north
west of Oslava, and Italian infantry
obtained firm footing on part Of the
summit of Monte San Michele.
The bombardment of Goritz and
the battle which has been in progress
on the Isonzo front for the last two
weeks has been marked by some of
the bitterest fighting on any front
during the war. The Italians already
hold Monfalcone, and this, with the
capture of Goritz, which seems near,
probably means the early fall OF
Trieste to the Italians which would
give the best part of Austria's coast
line to Italy
The Serbian town of NovipaZar,
which is only twenty-five miles from
the Montenegro frontier, has been
taken by the Germans. This an
nouncement was made by the war Of
fee at Berlin, which reported also the
capture of 4,4OO Serbians on Sunday.
The Serbian legation at Rome re-
ports an important Serbian victory at
Leskovats, in the Nish district, after a
battle lasting several days. The Bull
garian losses, the legation adds, were

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN 1914 SHOWS
A CAIN Of 100000 IN THE YEAR
Throughout the Year There Was Uninterrupted Era
of Building in Both Business and Residential Sec
tons Of the City and the Year 1915 Promises
to Show Greater Gain
TT Ell PAsO experienced any "h

z Ell PASO experienced any hard
times" during the year 1914 it was
not reflected in building opera
lions. The sound of the hammer
and saw, the bricklayer's trowel and
the steel workers rivets was incessant
from year end to year end and a total
of nearly 100000 worth of buildings
erected. This was in excess OF nearly
100000 over the value of buildings
erected during the year 1913. To be
exact, the valuation of buildings erect
ed during 1913 was S1,341,246 while
the buildings of 1914 aggregated ST.
934297, an excess of S593.O33.
Mostly for Dwellings.
Most of this comparatively vast sum
was spent for dwellings, either in the
form of detached houses or apartment
buildings. thus enabling Ell Paso to
maintain its well established reputa-
ton as a city Of homes.
While the year saw the completion
Of the First National bank building
the remodeling of the City National
banak building .nd the erection of adj
ditions to the FL Paso Gas plant to
the value of $4,000. the erection of
the Alhambra theater at a cost of
$4,000, and the rebuilding of the
home of the Union Bank & Trust
company, practically all Of the ST.
934,297, given above as the figures for
1914. was spent on dwellings or apart
ment houses.
Notable Buildings of the Year.
Among the most notable apartment
houses erected during the year, were:
the Wright, $40, 900: the Ramsey, S1O,-
600; the Pickrell. $4,000: the Lambert,
$4,000; the Booth, S21 900; the Fenneu,
$4,000: the ROberts-Banner. $4,000;
the Nagley. $4,000; the Montana, S1S,-
900; the Groom, $4,000; the Lake,
S35,0G0; the Britt $4,000: the Texas
Tavern, $4,000, and the Howell, s15,-
600.
Among the apartment houses in con-

temptation are the Phillips. $4,000;
the VillebrandA $4,000; the Oregon.
$4,000. and another Booth apartment
TO cost $4,000.
Splendid Private Dwellings.
Of the more notable dwellings erect
ed during 1914 might be mentioned
that of DR.. James Vance at a cost of
$4,000; senator Claude B. Hudspeth
$4,000; Charles H. Leavell, $4,000;
Alfred F. Kerr, $4,000. and NJ. Ainsa
$4,000. Besides there were many
more modest homes built at costs
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, includ-
ing those Of J. B. Gibson. R. l. Dan
iels. G. A. Martin and Miles j. Murray
all on Montana street and all costing
over $500 and J. T. Primm's in Rich
mond Terrace at a cost of $4,000 and
judge J. G. McGrady in Government
Hill at a cost Of $4,000.
It is true the total includes SIS. 900
for the proposed new St. Patrick's
church and another $4,000 for the
proposed FL Paso MON stOckyards
both Of which viii probably be under
way this year, but that does not de-
tract materially from the showing for
the year as they would be overcome
by the lapse from 1913 into 1914 as
shown in such cases, for instance, as
the First National bank building.
No Radical Architectural Changes.
From an architectural point Of view,
1914 was not marked by any radical
change in the style of buildings
erected. In the residential section,
where land is still comparatively
cheap in the matter of price the bun
galow is still in favor. From an ar
tistic point of view it probably is well
that this is so. No type of architec-
ture lends itself so well to variety
Of taste in the matter of construction
and ornamentatiOn. In a whole street,
lined on either side with bungalows il
is rare to find two alike, except in
the fact that all are Of but single
story in heighth. The interior ar
rangement may be just as varied.
Gives Play to OriginaIity.

holder but through the scope given the
exercise Of originality on the part Of

the designer, who in a great majority
Of cases is the owner and future Occu-
pant, has a beneficial effect by way
of developing the artistic taste of the
community.
1t is doubtful if in any other city
of its size, in this or in any other
country. may be found so many beau
tiful homes, owned by wage earners
and others Of the moderately well to
do, as are found in FL Paso.
No Wooden Construction.
There is very little wooden construc-
ton in Ell Paso. brick, stone and rein
forced concrete being almost ex-
clusively used. a fact reflected in the
particularly low key rate established
for FL Paso by the fire underwriters
While in 1914, April and August,
judging from the figures. would seem
to be the favOrite months for build
ing, there is really a remarkable uni
fOrmity the year round. The estimated
value of buildings, as shown in per-
mits issued during the year, by
months. follows;
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-02-06

The outlook for the present year
is considered by architects and, build
ers as better even than that as shown
by the total for 1914. There seems to
be good reason to believe that not
only will the new high school be COM
pleted but that the proposed new city
and county building and public market
be gotten under way and that a much
needed auditorium viii be financed
and built
There is also reason to believe that
if the necessary legislation can be
secured a modern, though small, pack
ing house viii be erected in or near
the city which will involve the eX-
penditure Of in the neighborhood Of
100000.
All of these, together with the usual
run Of buildings in the residence por-
lions of the city, win give employ
ment TO hundreds Of men engaged in
the building trades, as well as to those
employed in supplying materials for
buildings.

the money market because of the al

 The motor soup kitchen is entirely a new provision for the wounded, it's functions being to keep in close touch with the field ambulances and provide hot. nourishing drink for those who have received first aid Soup, meat extracts, tea, coffee and cocoa will be served. The motors carry their own water supplies.
 A number of courageous women volunteered for this service. but their services were not accepted, as the war department does not allow women to go as near to the firing line as the soup wagons would have to go.

LIFE OF AEROPLANE MOTORS

PARIS, Jan. G-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) s)-The life of aeroplane motors in use is not over $50 hours, and to assure this much of them they must be taken apart. clean. ed every 50 hours, according to the experience of French aviators since the war began.
 As the cost of one of the motors. when ordered by the hundreds. is 15,- 900 francs each. the expense Is a heavy one. One factory near Paris is de- llyering 15O new aeroplane motors a month.
 It is difficult to know details of the aeroplane work, but it is assumed that from five to ten aeroplanes go out of action each day. disabled by hostile fire or wear and tear
