It is named after Benito Pablo Juarez. one of the Mexican presidents, a man born in 1896 and of Indian parentage. He was educated by a wealthy Mexi- can and studied law. Mexico was in it's usual state of revolution and he became enmeshed in it and finally it's president for time. He lived in Juarez several years and the house in which he lived is still pointed cut as a show place. There is also a very fine monument erected in his memory which Is really worth a trip from Fl Paso to see. History tells us that Juarez was a man of unusual at tainments for one of his birth. He was absolutely fearless of danger and was usually sincere in his reforms.
 The town is truly Mexican and once across the bridge one might as well be in the heart of Mexico from the ap- pearance of the people and the old adobe houses. Of course, there is a plaza and a market place for they exist in every Mexican town. The market place is a poor excuse of a sales place for, ill-smelling "jerked beef" (fresh beef hung out to dry in the sun), fruits, chickens and eggs
 The chickens are usually sold alive and the method of killing them would drive a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals into mysteries. The market never seems very lively for the people have little money and many of the peons live on

the little they can raise on their land The plazas are where the MeXicans who are "ne'er to wells'' sit around and are perfect examples of Dickens "MicaWber," who was always waiting g for something to turn up.'' There is jail which is always well-flled. The postoffice was runied by Villas men and a present the business is done in a sort of shack. A peculiar situation arose in posting letters during one of Villas occupations which made mail coming from there rather interesting. Villa decreed that his stamps must be put on all mail and as the United States had not recognized his govern ment they required the Mexican Fed eral stamp in order to send the let ters through the United States, conse- Quently the sender was compelled to put a stamp of each kind on every delivery.
 Bull Ring
 The finest bull ring in Mexico, ex- cept the one in Mexico City, is located in Juarez and every Sunday there is a bull fight which is witnessed mostly by Americans who go from Fl Paso for that purpose. It is given with all the tawdry effects in costumes and with all the brutality shown at the best bull fight in Spain. Women are admitted, although few, even of the better class of Mexicans attend, but after the American has sat through the horrors of one of these affairs he

thorities that it was the forests of France which played most important part in keeping the Hun from Paris. The American army had to be sup piled with lumber cut in France. The war could not have been won with out this material and it is doubtful if tonnage facilities would have per mitted of it's being exported in suf- hclent quantities. It would have been necessary at any rate for the allies to have fought longer than they did. France had been practising scientific forestry for many years and on this account had the wood when the call came for it. This is an example by which the United States may well profit.

pretty soon comes to the conclusion that any nation whose national sport is the inhuman torture of animals can not amount to much as a nation. There is perhaps some skill in killing the bull (Who never has chance) by striking him, at certain vital spot, but there certainly is no true sport in driving blindfolded old horses direct ly in front of a maddened bull and
 allowing them to be disemboweled while the populace applauds. AS tna boys are delighted with this process as our own boys are charmed with baseball one feels that the kindness of the future generation oS Mexico is hopeless.
 Chicken Fighting
 Chicken fighting is another brutal sport in Juarez and men will go about carrying roosters to which spurs have been tied seeking matches and when one is found there is blood and bets, for while the chickens often fight to death the men bet every cent they have, although their families may be starving. Unfortunately betting on chicken fights is not confined to Mexi-
 cans, as the writer has seen many Americans in the game.
 Fine Race Track
 | The great race track at Juarez Is known throughout the world and with ] it's massive grandstand and wonderful track it is really a splendid setting for this king of sports." It is conducted solely by Am erican money and during the racing season street cars run direct 1 from Fl Paso to the track thus doing away with the customs formalities. | Some of the most famous horses in | the world have made records there and the sporting fraternity and the men who really own good horses have rubbed shoulders there. Of course, the race track people stay in Fl Paso, for there is no fit place to stay in
 Juarez, and go to and fro each day during the season.
 As might be expected Juarez has ] many gambling houses, frequented by
 Americans and the shooting up seems
 to have found it's way into their blood
 for riots and fights are by no means
 uncommon in which the American sport plays a part.
 | Now that John Barleycorn" has tbeen knocked out in the United States the next season at Juarez during 1 Villas absence is likely to be lively.

this is recognized in regular lumber grading rules. A small knot or some other slight imperfection in grain or texture is passed. Not so with aero planes. There can be no margin of safety there. Every bit of wood that enters into its makeup must be per feet. A thousand feet of lumber may have to be taken out of the forest to secure fifty or hundred feet which will measure up to the standard re- quired, or the whole lot sometimes may be rejected. This shows the need of more tree planting and of proper est policy which will provide for the future.
 Principal Woods Used
 Walnut, mahogany, spruce, ash, white oak. maple. birch, cherry and Douglas fir are among the principal woods which have been most ex- tensively used in the mar ufacture of aeroplanes. Walnut is tho best wood that grows for propellers, as also for gunstocks. This Is because of its strength and 1ightness combined, and the fact that 1t does not warp nor does it splinter like most woods when struck by projectile. Spruce for many parts of aeroplane construction, how ever, will continue to be in great de- mand for the wood has many quail ities which make it most desirable for this use.
 Practically all of the framework Is of spruce and it bids fair to hold it's place, with a possible supplementine by bamboo. Metal tubing has been tried, but has been found unsatisfac- tory. Straightness of grain, strength. lightness and freedom from defects, these are the reQuiSites The ssstruts"

In making 1,7o0 or more revolu- tions a minute it can be realized what terrific pressure is placed upon an aeroplane propeller. This amounts to thousands of pounds to the square inch; and in the sharp turns and maneuvers, sudden drops and quick ascents. pIunges down and pulls up along the highways of the air which the modern airship is compelled to make, there is greatly added strain on all the parts. This means that any piece Of wood which could not give" properly would break. The best of spruce for airplane manufacture is the Western variety, or Sitka spruce. There is a large supply of it, but diff fculty in getting the highest grades. Ash is used somewhat in propeller blades, but serves its main purpose for engine beds.
 France will always furnish a historic example of the value of well-cared for forests. It is admitted by military au-

also cultivated and many Mexicans nave become wealthy through it's manufacture. Its cu1tivat tion requires rich soil and as soon as the old plant withers young sprouts spring up from the root upon which large leaves ap- pear. The harvesters bore through the central stem of the plant and get from ten to fifteen pints from each plant. It is then mixed with a sort of leaven and becomes sweet to the taste. It is drank by the peons, and although 1t seems to be a cultivated taste many United States visitors are devotees of the Juarez "cantinas."
 Sketch of the Town
 The city itself is a town of the State of Chihuahua and is fertile for stock raising anC fruit cultivation when it has time between Villas raids. Its population in normal times is about 1000 persons, but very much smaller during the shooting up season when the natives, as far as possible, eni- srate to the United States and find refuge in the Mexican quarters of Fl Paso.
 Juarez has poor sanitary conditions, but these are helped by the fact that it lies $500 feet above the sea level

of soldiers were ready for an emer- gency. The United States did not want war with Mexico, in fact. it has never wanted a war and has been forced into it when the behavior of other nations has reached a point where our country could only maintin it's honor by taking Up arms and many people believe that Mexico will never be finally settled until the United States soldiers cross the Rio Grande and make the natives understand that America can stand no more.
 From time to time the Juarez diff faculties clear up and Fl Paso once more settles down to business, but with an idea that the real fight will come some time and is merely being put off
 ,Juarez is well-known to Americans and is frequently called one of the show places of Fl Paso. It lies just across the "silvery" Rio Grande, a dirty, muddy stream and is connected by an international bridge. It gives employment to a number of men of both nations, known as Custom Off cers,'' but those who have made ire quent crossings between the cities know that it is about as valueless an office as can be made and the town serves as a great sporting" place for Americans.
 As Mexico is one of the wettest places in the world our prohibition will probably make 1t more popular and tn, "cantinas" will have to be enlarged and our sports will even take to "pulque" drinking, a vile intoxicating liquor made from the maguey plant It is said that one or two drinks of this will make a man fight with him self and those who have seen men under the influence the S'' in Jaurez can readily believe this is true.

 Parts Are "BuiIt Up"
 Most of the parts of an aeroplane are of built-up or laminated wood in which thin layers are glued together to form the part needed. This has many advantages. In the first place, the smaller the pieces of wood that are employed the more likely they are to be free from defects. Further, the lamlnation divides the stresses and pre- vents them from coming in full force on any one grain. It is, on the whole, another exemplification of the old adage that in union there is strength. Another advantage is that laminated stock can be built to form curves. or can be bent to a curve without split ting or weakening the piece.
 The main reason for such large use Of spruce in aeroplane building is its uniformity of structure and freedom from defects. It has the quality of be- ing what 1t appears to be on the sur face. If one picks out piece of spruce that looks good and is clear and straight, he may be sure that 1t is good. Other woods which may look as straight and clear will occasionally deceive. Propellers, like the other rarts. are made of built-up pieces. -5ome propellers are made entirely of black walnut, laminated, of course, just as if different kinds of wood were used. Others are made of mahogany, of mahogany and spruce in alternate

These are among a few of the uses to which aeroplanes will be put.
 finest Grade Only
 Only the best quality of wood can go into the construction Of an airship or a seaplane. Therefore it is neces- sary to cut cown many trees to pro- vide the material needed for a single plane. Of course, the pieces which are cast aside as worthless for aero plane stock can be used for furniture and other purposes; but it shows some thing of the extra drain which Is going to be made on the forests of the country. The American Forestry Association which is urging a national forest policy points out some of the various kinds Of wood which are call ed for in the building of aeroplane parts and why this or that variety is preferred for propellers. posts or ribs.
 For ordinary commercial uses a piece of wood which has some slight defect may be employed with safety and no lives are endangered. In fact

TO GET OFF AN UNUSED POSTAGE
 STAMP

WAA OST PEOPLE do not know that HEY an unused postage stamp which LII ' has been attached to a letter that 1t is decided, later, not to mail. can be very easily separated from the envelope it cleaves to-without the troublesome soaking in water that takes time when one wants to use the stamp in hurry. And most peo- pie do want a stamp in a hurry.
 The trick is simple enough: Simply tear the envelope from the stamp in stead of trying to wrest the stamp from the envelope. Cut the envelope away from the stamp. leaving just a margin of paper for thumb and finger to grasp; then with the stamp turned away from you and the paper toward you. begin to peel away the paper at on corner of the stamp, then another, then another. Presently the paper will be loose at. all the edges and a little care will get it quite off the stamp at the center. Try this. next time you want to use an already past ed-down postage stamp and see how easy it isl

0A O. sir. they just can't make aero planes bone dry. They have tried
 Ito make the propellers "bone dry'' D h with terrific tests. but a propeller has to make 1.7OO or more revolutions q minute to make good and even at that It will drip sap af:er a test. This is true of wood even when 1t has been fried to the lowest possible moisture content.
 If trip across the Atlantic Ocean akes 24 hours and the propeller makes 1.700 revolutions minute 1t will be seen that the propeller will make two million. four hundred and forty-eight thousand revolutions in negotiating the distance. This strain seems all most beyond human comprehension.
 There is no substitute for wood in the manufacture of aeroplanes. No other material has been found ''hich so combines strength and lightness. or which resists the tension upon rapidly revolving propellers so as to stand the strain. More and more wood will be in demand for this purpose. The busi- hess of flying Is going to take its place alongside the other great industries of the world.
 With transatlantic flight now a reality 1t is only a question of time probably not long--before aeroplanes will be making regular passenger trips across the ocean, outdistancing by far the swift greyhounds of the deep which were the last word in ship construction On land aeroplanes will be needed more and more for

Even tn, Carranza government pro- tested against this invasion of Mexico, as they called 1t. General Pershing's s men had q sIirmish and several of our men were lost. It was then thought better to withdraw and for a while Villa was quiet. But after a time he began again and his first bit of activity was to shoot up Juarez. Whether he thought this a particular easy mark or whether he felt that his coming so close to the United States was an in suit to that nation or whether the last raid was the result of German propa- ganda in Mexico is not known: per haps it is a mixture of all three. How ever. Villa Is q menace to the peace of Mexico and a trouble maker for the United States as well. That he is fear less, no one doubts, and his savage treatment of prisoners often equals that of the Huns. A man without the slightest education, yet with a per sonality which draws the Mexicans to his standard he is continually fighting At one time he was friendly with Car ranza and while spending some time in Juarez the writer interviewed him and he declared himself friendly to- ward the United States, but a short time later was generally mussing up Mexico and insulting America.

Nearly every house in the city bears marks of his work from time 10 time. Several work from time 10 time. Several times he captured the city and each time many buildings were ruined and a number of people killed. Recently he paid another visit.
