She went before me through q double

and large furniture. It was thIckly car

laughed and coaxed him. Under her en-
couragements he ventured to look up, and
then threw himself back, stifened and
shrieked, pointing at me. Its her hair!
It's her hair! See her hair!"
For few moments his mother was fairly
unnerved; then she began to laugh again,

poor, frightened baby in her arms. "Oh,

JUAREZ IS PREPARING A
 PRIMROSE PATH" AS LURE
 FOR THIRSTY AMERICANS

JUAREZ, Mex, April 24.--New sa- looms and gambling houses continue to be erected here against the time when the passport restrictions are removed and Americans may come to Juarez to quench their thirst for "hard liquor" and lighter beverages.
 On the principal business corner of the town, where the two main streets meet, a large building is being erected with wine cellar for the use of American saloonkeepers who were forced out of business by the Texas statewide prohibition. A large keno hall for gambling is being built in connection with these saloons and just across the street beer garden is be- ing established where once the Mexi- can federal general commanded the defenses of the town from the rebels.
 Visions of rush of tourists to Juarez after the nationwide prohibit tion amendment becomes effective on July l are being drawn by the curio dealers, gambling, house keepers and saloon men here. However, move ment has been started to have the state of Chihuahua declare Juarez is a dry zone to prevent this expected influx of tourists, it being held that this will give Juarez bad reputation and attract undesirable characters out of the United States.
