Lindsey A. Whita. county engineer
Vow didn't have anything TO do
with locating that road, but as an
engineer the reason for its many
twists and turns is no mystery 20 me.
It was this way: At the time that
road was built, Fabens was the out
post Of civilization. there was moth
ing at all beyond Fabens but desert.
il they had built that piece OF road
straight. Il would have stretched
away out five or six miles beyond
Fabens. and since there was nothing
that could be done with such a five

Its end struck at the right place"

Have You ST?

NEXT to developing enjoying the music and other
amusements can produce BY and among ourselves,
the way provide fit recreation for folks Is to bring
the artists who have achieved fame elsewhere and who
have the gift Of bringing delight with them We have
talked often and much about the need Of good and
cheap amusemens Now Fl Paso once more has the chance
offered It TO hear the best musicians at prices low to
amount almost to free admission.
The Womans club has arranged four popular concerts
during the winter Three singers and volinist all Of
nigh repute and conspicuous artistic attanmens to
furnish the programs
Last year the popular concerts given in the club
building The seating capacity small and prices had to
be higher in proportion. This year the club is going to
try the experiment Of giving the concerts in Liberty hall
where thousands be seated
The price under the advance subscription arrangement
is only 81 for the four concerts IS cents for each Seats
may be reserved at slight additional cost But the hall
IS big and the arrangement Is such, that anyone who
pays the IS cents admission may be assured Of good
place TO and hear.
It looks as every seat ought to be taken in advance
for the four concerts by purchase Of the little books Of four
tickets 81 each Is there any why the Womans
club whose resources are slender and which still debt
to pay its club building should shoulder any risk what
ever in carrying through this public project?
Doesn't the general public it to itself to make this
enterprise succeed2 What of talking complaining OF
ccsing If, when such remarkable opportunity offers
do not up with psltry little share help
make the venture success?
If the advance sale is not much larger THAI it has been
up now, the club VIII have to meet loss 1t has signed
contracts with certain guarantees which it must make good
It would pity if seats at IS cents each for artistic
concerts Of high merit to remain empty, while the
Womans club must pay the artists just if the hall
filled
If there should be any surplus which is unlikely the
balance would be used for another Of popular
cers to assist IN other public enterprises Of the Woans
club. There money profit in the thing for anybody
ana II IS purely public benefit.
It is suggested that the public which for these
things take little fesher interest in this particular under
taking and help with dollar OF two to insure the present
and permanent Of valuable project IF there
