A sOLDTER,s QUESTION.
Fort Bis. Texas, 3

Fort Bliss, Texas, Jan. >.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Why Is 1t that a soldier IN uniform
cannot walk the streets OF FL PasO
with respectable woman without
being stopped and insulted by the
members Of the department OF JUS
tice?
What are the soldiers of FL Pzso In
the eyes Of the officials? Are they
desirable citizens or undesirable citi-
zens? That is a question that We
would all like to know. 1t seems that
they don't think So or they would
try and make better and more eff
ficient plan in trying to clean up the
city.
The only thing that we can see Is
that they are trying TO clean out the
soldiers only-not men that are avail
atle for military service
Now the question is: Why are not
the civilian men stopped on the
streets OF e Paso with women hang
ing on their arms and insulted the
same as a soldier in uniform
Is a soldier in uniform not consid-
cred as much gentleman as one not
in uniform?

IS SHE NTEREsTNGf

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
A is a rather pretty. sweet girl.
At first meeting the young men
seem very greatly attracted to
her. This lasts for about four
meetings, when, one by one, they
gradually become less attentive,
and in due time seem to forget
she exists. She does not cheaper
herself by allowing men to buy
her JeWelry or to bestow any af-
lection on her whatsoever. She
is not on the market for a hus-
band. but simply desires the clean
friendships which so many OF her
girl friends seem to enjoy As
q rule, the young men who ad-
mire her most are the boys whom
she disllkes, whereas the men she
admires greatly pay practically
no attention to her. At present
she Is greatly in love with a
young man who some time ago
was all attention. but is now very
ina5ten at ss AMI acts rather bored
our friend may be one Of those
colorless personalities who have no
real charm or intelligence with which
to forufyS sweetness. You say that
the man who formerly cared for her
now acts rather bored when in her
presence. Doesn't that tell the whole
story? Because she is sweet. holds
herself aloof from cheap lovema king
end accepts no gifts. does not of ne
cessity mean that she hrs anvthin -
interesting to say or is capable Of the
fine, clean friendship which she de-
sires. Possibly she is self-centered
or even stupid When she writes a
letter in the third person and at
tempts to make it appear that she IS
discussing the concerns Of her friend
A and then signs the letter A, she
suggests that she is a fairly concefted
young person who trusts in her own
cleverness and who has not the prop
er respectful regard for other peo-
Pies brains. After all. intelligent, I'M
selfish. friendly comradeship is the
spirit OF man and a girl.
