call to mind the types of women to
whom they originally belonged.
The fan I used in Carmen" was
given me by a nObleman while I was
visiting Seville, It was an heirloom
and dates back to the early middle
ages.
Catherine de Medici is credited
with having. introduced the fan into
France about 1860, where it was
quickly adopted not only by women,
but by effeminate men.
In Spain the fan plays an inn
pOTtant part, although the Spanish
woman has her mantilla, the most
fliTtatiOus adjunct known to cOqUet-
ry. A skiIlfUl manipulation of this
other weapon, she carries it with her
always even to bUllfghts.
The fan has been put to a variety
of uses. The Sibyls are said to have
been in the habit of tanning them
selves while delivering their Oracles
certainly an indication that the fan
was not regarded in those days as in
any. way connected with frivOlity.
: A French author has said there are
100 ways of using a fan, but he
names only one. This consists, he
says, in holding this weapon and
shield of coquetry that its bearer
may receive a love letter, Unobserv-
ed.
i The American woman, to my mind,
is the most successful user of the
fan. She can make it express any
phase of a mood and every degree OF
that phase.
The debUtante has a dainty affair
of ivory sticks and point lace; the
young matron a scintiIlating one of
guaze and spangles; the adventures,

Cheaper Money Brings
Great Change to Valley

The change that has taken place
in the business affairs of this section
in the last ninety days is remarkable,
due to the cheaper money that has
become available to farmers and busi-
ness men. This is notable in many
ways. For instance, the trustees sales
which were very common short time
:go have become rare, those feeling
the stress of finances having gener-
silly been able to make turns and Sc
cure loans at reduced interest. An
other very pronounced change that has
taken place is the low interest that
is available for those making pur-
chases at auctions, the money loaners
soliciting these loans in many cases
at rates never before known here.
d To certain extent this change is
already beginning to be felt in gen.
eral increase of business, but in the
main the improvement has thus far

According to Inspector w. c. Cass,
the cleanup campaign in Ell Centre
proved even more successful than eX-

where rubbish has not been cleaned
up as well as desired by the authori-
ties. The two collectors employed by
the city had so much work to do gath
ering up the rubbish and hauling it
away that they could not complete
their work in the time provided, and
the hauling will continue today. m

rubbish to be gathered up until they

Ell Paso, May 2-The day has brought forth nothing

HEAVY DEMAND FOR
LABOR IN VALLEY

Frank Valley, local employmenl
agent, stated today that there is al
almost unprecedented demand for la
horers in the valley at 1925 to $2.5l

He explains this by the fact that
tine ranchers are unusually busy at
this time of year and that numbers OF
men are required on the Irrigation
Districts work on the levees across the

yelopment work in the northern part

DR.. Dernburg's editorial is distinctly
friendly, conciliato,y and hopeful He
concludes:
at is to be hoped that an under
standing will be reached which will
conserve our national dignity and
whereby we may retain our relations
with the United States without hav-
ing to lessen the force of our activ-
ity."
Much to Consider.
DR.. Dernburg declares that in max
ing the decision Germany must take
into consideration her relations with
all neutrals, the effect of the entrance
of new and powerful enemy, the con-
ditions respecting food and raw mate
rial in Germany, and the possibility of
attaining peace.
at must be determined what con-
cessions will ward off the threatening
American danger he continued, "and
in how far our prospects of defeating
our enemies might be lessened thereby.
Briefly, our entire situation must be
weighed in the balance. We must let
neither national sensitiveness nor a
super-feeling of honor govern us and,
if we feel strong enough to achieve
victory, even if we make certain con-
cessions, then we may make them
without forfeting our self respect. y

The Sussex, declares Dernburg, was
torpedoed contrary to assurances Civ

the proof adduced at least admits the
possibility that the American claims
that Germany is responsible may be
well grounded, although the represen-
tations to America show that it may
have been due to mistake by the
commander, rather than to bad in
