boasted Drocourt-Queant line, or,
as the Germans call it, the "Wotan

British are driving far through it
and the Germans are hurrying
eastward, leaving behind only
pockets of machine gunners, and
even resistance from these is
gradually melting away.

to Make Ell Paso Delight

Recently a tourist from the north
met in FL Paso an old schoolmate and
companion who had come to west
Texas for his health several years be-
fore. The northerner was agreeably
surprised to find his old friend in the
best OF health, although working in
an office

Fairly States the Cnse.
The man had fairly stated why Fl
Paso has become famous as health
resort. over 300 days with clear sky
during each year, with accompanying
temperature never extremely not or
cold, is the heavyweight reason that
thousands who could not endure the
humidity Of summer and damp cold
of winter in the north have prOspered
here. Good water, plentiful and d.
versified food supply pleasant sur
rOundings, cOngenial people excel

wholesome amusements and all kinds
OF work for all kinds OF men are a
few Of the additional reasons why
hundreds OF tubercular patients VINO
came here almost without hope have
fully recovered and are among the
successful business men OF the city.
In the early history Of FL PasO It
was common for fasteners to stare
in amaZement that a city should
spring up from such an arid site and
grow with such rapidly Residence

it is in sight
For several months the manufac-

THEN Old Nineteen Seventeen
M left FL Paso he Travelled over
1905 miles more Of paved
streets than when he entered
the city. when Young Nineteen
Eighteen arrived here he saw that.
even before his coming, complete
preparations had been made for the
building OF over six miles more Of
pavement FL Paso now has 1905
miles Of paved streets, according to
statistics formerly compiled by the
Taxpayers league.
The liberal use Of bitulithic and as
rhalt. that has made FL Paso the best
paved city in the west, is keeping the
city IN the lead, not only in extent Of
paving but in quality. There is no
better grade of city pavement than
the bitulithic used here, Of which
there were 1L51 miles laid in the city
during 1917. Other kinds, also good.

amounts built. are asphalic concrete,

adam, $50 miles; asphalt macadam.
5-61 miles There were also con-
structed Of miscellaneous kinds, 1872
miles. Street pavings approved and
ordered by the city council for 1918
are, 70 date, approximately 119.04S
yards at a cost OF S19O.A76.SO.
Abundant labor and easy access to
unlimited supplies OF rock have aided
greatly in making the city's streets
beautiful, making 1t possible for FL
Paso to build bitulithic pavement
much cheaper here than in any other
city in Texas In some parts Of the
residence district paving has been
LAID 20 feet wide. 10 feet being left on
each size for parking purposes How
ever, nearly all the streets being con-
rracted for now are made from 80 70
50 feet wide in the residence sections
Records in the office Of the city sur
Teyor show that the city now has
4T.49 miles Of bitulithic paving alone.
FL PasO Is Different.
IN a matter OF streets and sidewalks
Il Paso differs very noticeably from
al other pioneer cities Of the border.
Almost without exception early street
and sidewalks. from Brownsville 10
san Diego, were narrow and cramped-
II most border cities the narrow
lanes and lean sidewalks remain, an
modern parts OF cities usually have
spacious streets, but the lanes Of ear

many southern cities otherwise beau

Tourists Immediately notice that FL
Paso Is a pleasant contrast to the
lane and board-path districts OF many
other cities. There is room for every
body on the sidewalk. with room to
spare. There is no continual cOllid-
ing OF vehicles and fears for your life
IN narrow streets. because there are
no such streets IN FL Paso. In the
beginning the city had some narrow

summer. but prostrations from heat
are unknown The dry heat is not Op-
pressive like the husnidity Of many
other places Cool nights during the
summer always makes sleeping pleas
ant The comfort Of sleeping in the
open during winter is attested by the
fact that FL Pasoans occupy their
sleeping porches the year round. Very
few residences in the entire city are
without screened pOrches for sleep
ing purposes
Undoubtedly the conditions OF ma
ture are reflected in the population
of any community. The snaD, the
smile, the characteristic warmth Of Fl
Pasoans are largely the reflection of
sunshine and bracing air. Its incOm-
parable climate has gained Fl Paso
many citizens and bestowed on many
a new lease OF life.

Fat persons. particularly those
from ten to sixty pounds above

This can best be done by getting
plenty Of fresh air, by breathing
deeply and by taking a few drops Of
oil Of korein four times a day, also
in following the other simple rules
that come with the box.

Prof. Anderson Said to Have

London, April 11.-Negotiati re-
garding the possibility of peace be-
tween the United States and Austria
Hungary have been carried on be-
tween Prof. Anderson of Washington
and Count Stephen Tisza and Count
julius Andrassy former Hungarian
premiers, according to a Vienna dis
patch to the Berlin Tageblatt as
quoted in an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen.
According to the Vienna dispatch
the foreign office admits various at
tempts have been made to obtain q
general peace and the emperor has
had negotiations for such discus
sion through international connec-
tons.
The AustrO- Hungarian foreign
minister Count Czernin, has returned
unexpectedly to Vienna from visit to
German headquarters where he con-
ferred with Emperor William.
The stand taken by the Czechs
against Count Czernin, the dispatch
continues, overshadows the cOntro-
versy between the count and Premier
Clemenceau of France. In Prague, on
Saturday, a Czech meeting against
Count Czernin will be held. The posi-
ton of Czernin is said to be much less
secure since his recent speech con-
corning the alleged negotiations with
