YESTERDAY

JUAREZ, Mex, April 30.-His coat was out at the elbows. Whirling sand from the streets of Juarez had made visible unsightly splotches upon his clothing. He was collarless. A three days growth of beard and the heavy lines across his face made him less attractiye-almost repulsive- Even upon the nauseating criminal cur rents that wash back upon Juarez, he was human derelict.
 From one of the Juarez dives he led a we'll dressed youth. He was just a lad of the small town type, evidently of refinement and culture. Probably, still in his teens, he was having his fling. He was almost helpIessly drunk The two boarded the Juarez car for Fl Paso-

 What's the big idea?" asked the conductor, who had recognized and known the character of the speaker.

 It was an emblem of gold stars with crescent and stars as the mo- if If was a Greek letter college fraternity pin.
