Under a 100 day sentence on a va

out Friday morning with other mem
Ders Of the chain gang The guards
didn't watch him much, because he
was so old and feeble.
But when the guards were not

Less Booze, Less

Police Surgeon
Citizens Leaning to I andle
Autos; Suicides Show
Marked Decrease.

THE emergency hospital is almost
deserted now compared 10 the rush
and hussle Of the much greater num-
Der OF cases that used to be treated
here several years ago" said police
surgeon John a. Hardy. who has held
this position for several years.
Every kird Of case. accident. assault
or attempted suicide. has decreased in
numbers in a noticeable way during
the past month. according to the doc
tor. While the reason for this cond1-
ton may be many. the general opln-
ion of those in authority in the ponce
department is that the prohibition Is
the direct cause.
Fewer Auto Accidents
The most important fact in support
Of this assertion is that the number
of cases treated at the hospital in the
police station was always up to its
former normal standard until the day
the law which made FL Paso an arid.

on the day that the anti-hquor law
began making FL PasOans turn 10
soda fountains instead Of swinging

tai
Several Of the veterans Of the force
who have watched Ell Paso's streets
paved condition say that one reason
the number OF emergency hospital
cases caused by collisions and other
accidents on FL Paso roadways is
lessening is that traffic is better con-
troled and that the automobile is bet
ter understood by its drivers
Fewer Suicides.
John Jones no longer turns to the
left when Henry Smith, coming I'D the
road, expects him to turn to the right
and as a result Jones and Smith are
no longer injured in a resulting col
lision. And George Brown no longer
puts his gears into high when he is
trying to apply the emergency in a !
street" is the way one vet /
eran of the force put II.
Police officers think that FL Paso- !
ans are becoming more recOnciled to /
this life because the number Of at I

Of Another Day.
B. GEORGE BALAND,
Instructor in Music, FL Paso High
School


BellinTs La Sonnambula," which
was sung by the Italian Operrs COM
pany at the Texas Grand Thursday
evening, is one of those old fashioned
operas which our fathers and grand
fathers used to love; lacking the dra-
matte intensity and thrill of the
operas of today. and containing much
less elaborate musical construction,
but nevertheless requiring, in some
respects. ability On the part Of the
singers which the modern opera does
not require.
Bellini and his contemporary com
posers expected a perfection OF vocal
technique, agility and beauty of vocal
tone which are not used TO such an
extent in the II pre- recent operas.
OF all the singers in this company
Tina Paggi most completely meets
these requirements, and il was IN
doubtedly to hear her especially that
SO large an audience assembled
Thursday evening. And they were not
disappointed, for she carried through
her difficult part with grace, sweet
ness. accuracy and brilliancy.
1t is said that this opera was the
favorite Of Adelina Patti. and as one
listened to Miss Paggi's singing. from
the delicate and dainty beginning. on
through the opera. mounting higher
and higher till the successful close,
reaching T above high c Just before
the curtain descended at the end.
1t seemed natural TO think og the pop
ular successes of the great operate
sopranos of old She is to be con-
on this role. and on the
possibilities in that form OF singing
which lie before her.
BaSsO Gives Good Rendition.
As usual. the other parts were well
taken Grazianis voice Is not so suit
ed to this opera as Il is to the more
dramatic role Of Faust. but he carried
1t through with artistic ability of q
high order. The other principals did
good work, especially Francisco Cruz.

Of his arias in a style just suited
TO them The chorus was unuesEa1Iy

over hsi work in the earlier perform
ances. The ensemble work in "Ah

lJely following the discovery Of
ANNA. deserves much praise. the deli
ate pianissimO singing of the chorus
giving great pleasure to tie listen
srs. Altogether it was a delightful
evening restful after the more dra-
matte efforts Of some Of the earlier
1nes. and proved that these older
,peras have their legitimate place in !
he repertoire OF modern companies.

and into the pen he would go for
several years Examples of this. ac-
