Here is a letter worth reading:

We are about one third on
the way to Philadelphia Weather
fine. Altitude ranges from syeee
TO 5000 feet. We enjoy each day.
II the road is rough we make a de-
tour. Had some very interesting
experiences. Last night We slept
in one story adobe house, the
guests Of Senior Lopez at Quemsao.
y. M senor has a wife and thir-
teen children, two cattle ranches
and town house. We paid 81 each
for our beds, which were clean,
both beds and pillows made OF wool
from the ranch sheep. Senor and
wife speak only Spanish. We talk
ed with several Of the children, VINO
speak English. The FAMILY are
quite well educated. They have a
piano and other Eastern appoint
ments, and live in a desert town
fifty miles from the next one.
mo one can imagine the vastness
of this country until they ride over
IL. The towns are from twenty
FIVE to fifty miles apart The val
leys and plains are used for pas
ture. Cattle and sheep at every
turn. We meet SO many tourist
cars-from 100 TO $50 a day, all
bound for the Coast Fords and
Bucks mostly. Khaki clothes for
both men and women, and all the
women in trousers. These people
camp and keep house along the
road. They are a dirty-looking lot.
"A prominent Western cOstumer
has given as his opinion that all
women will wear trousers by ls24.
What think you Of that
The writer Of the foregoing is a
woman rs years old. She is Mrs.
BlankenbUrg. widow OF Rudolph
Blsnkenburg, who was one Of the

and once its mayor. Mrs. Blanken-
burg went across the continent in
her automobile some months ago.

II Senor Lopez. Of Quemado. is
wise he will stick around his one
story adobe structure and not come
East with the sonora and the thir-
teen muchachos. Families OF that
size are not fashionable east OF the
Mississippi. Besides. he and the
sonora might feel bit crsmped
with 100000 neighbors within 4
mile or two after living so long

them and the next town
And why should they come East
The East is coming to them. What

ITALIAN REVENUE INCREASES

Receipts OF the Italian treasury

crease of nearly 2eO,0eo.ooe lire over

Somehow the allegation that the mayor OF New
York sat at banquet board at which the demon
rum was notoriously in attendance does not i'm
press as matter OF grave import. Leaders Of
both great parties recently attended conventions at
which there thousand times as much whisky

Mr.. Compers denies that he ever said that he
would deliver the labor vote to Cox. In way
the denial needless. Politicians know that the
labor vote is never delivered-it doesn't even de-
liver itself. American labor has never learned to
vote as unit. 1t would not be hard to cite his
orc illustrations to show that the surest way for
a public man to lose the support of labor is by
trying to do something for the wage earning
classes.

The first jury of women to act in New Jersey
