you ought 10 see the canteen car
L at Fl Paso.- was the remark one
wounded soldier made TO another. as
they lay in their beds in base hospital
number 20, at Chatel GurjOn, France.
James l. Hughes, en- route to his
nome at Prescott. Ariz., stopped to
receive the Inequalities extended 10
soldiers by the women Of the Red
Cross canteen car at the union sta
ton While talking with Mrs. J. L
Campbell. captain Of the canteen ser
vice in FL PasO. he told Of the above
remark which he overheard while he
was in the hospital
When the Sandstone Division was
en- route TO the coast preparatory 10
going over. they all found out what
an ideal and thoroughly original can
teen FL Paso had When they got 10
France they naturally spoke Of IL 10
their comrades, until the FL Pas0 can
teen is well known by soldiers
Mrs. Campbell says that many OF
the soldiers who are passing through
Fl PasO after they have received their
discharge, say that they have been
looking forward with pleasure to the
time when they would pass through
FL PasO and see the much talked Of
canteen, and receive the hospitality
Of the good women in charge.
some few days ago several young
women OF Fl PasO visited the Canteen
and told Mrs. Campbell that they had
heard so much about the canteen from
their soldier friends that they had
come to find out what the car was
like They were impressed with their
tour Of investigation.

Letters To The Herald


Editor FL Paso Herald:
Some days ago the chief Of police
gave out statement. to which con-
siderable publicity was given. that ne
intended 70 stop the children from
skating on the sidewalks
We noticed nothing said about the
thing really seriOus-the hundreds OF
children that are allowed to play in
the streets OF this city. Take a drive
about town any time Of day. and
dodge the children playing football,
skating, playing baseball, and running
helter-skelter crosswise or any old
way on skootmobiles; you viii have
TO dodge them II you don't run oven
them. for they expect you TO get out
Of their way.
sunday on Epson avenue q little girl
about eight years old fell flat in front
OF my car. and tonight a boy about 6
years old angled across the street
on a skootmobile, heading straight IN
front OF my car and paid no attention
to my signal whatever.
]. therefore. suggest that the chill
d. en- be allowed to play all they
want to On the sidewalks; they don't
hurt anyone there. and can't get hurt
them selves; but II they play in the
street. arrest every one OF them. and
take their parents along. Something
has got TO be done about il. CThe cleo
ton viii soon be over.)
