seen headed for the ancient little

profiting by these visits. for TWO

What is best about It is that every
thing is clean and enjoyable. The
dancing halls have no connection with
saloons OF places where anything ex-
cept soft drinks are sold, ana nice
gatherings Of young and older folk
may be seen dancing every evening
On Saturday nights, one of the places
furnishes a regular orchestra and

"El Paso has had about the busiest
time for the last two weeks that il
has experienced in a long time" said
Edgar W. Kayser. First il was the
sale of the Liberty bonds and last
week the Red Cross campaign Occu-
pied the time Of the citizens. In both
instances the people have worked
with a spirit which have never be-
before seen here. They threw them
selves heart and soul in both cam
paigns with the result that FL Paso
has again shown its strength and
unity in emergency"
The disposition which chief of po-
lice Zabriskte has made under the
counclls order of the segregated dis
trict IN FL Paso is one Of the most
complimentary actions that has taken
place in FL PaSo for some time" said
George LeBaron- The police are also
exercising great precautions in pre-
venting the spread Of the sredlight'
residents into other parts OF the town
by carefully watching the hotel reg
lsters and tracing any Of the more
suspicious characters. Should the So
called road houses be maintained mn

The average height of the womer
of France is five feet one inch. Our
American girls average five feet three
inches, and they are half an inch
shorter than the average English girl.
But our girls are the heaviest, aver
aging III pounds in weight, whereas
the English woman's weight is only
115 pounds, and the French woman
maintains an average weight of only
112 pounds.
But regardless Of weight or height
or the lack OF weight or the lack Of
height, the American boy is not going
TO find In France as beautiful women
as he left at home. The grace and
beauty of the daughters of France
have received a great deal of favor

prevented the American woman from
receiving the publicity that is her
due, for the truth is the American
woman is more beautiful than the
woman of any other country-and we
