States Is located so miles west of Del
Rio, on the Ell Paso division Of the
Galveston, Harrisburg G San Antonio

time by only two other bridges in the
world, one in Bolivia and one in
France. Since then two other bridges
have been constructed In Africa, that
surpass the Pecos bridge, making II
at the present time the fourth highest
In the world.

Anglers, guides and sportsmen gen.
orally, who are Interested In conserva-
ton of the country's inland game fish
supply, are warned by the bureau OF
fisheries to take especial pains to pre-.
vent forest fires, as these have been
responsible for widespread destruc
tion of. fish.
Streams that once teemed with
trout now have not single fish MS the
result Of a forest fire, bureau officials
say. They believe their destruction
resulted from the Increased alkalInity

World Cities on Same Parallel.


If you had to travel directly east
from the city hall distance of 1922
miles you would cut right through the
southern suburbs of Constantinope.
1t is remarkable that so many cities
of first Importance are situated on the
same parallel. That narrow belt,
hardly more than 80 miles in breadth,
which encircles the globe between
1920 degrees and ALSO degrees in
north latitude includes Constantinople,
Rome, Madrid, New York and Chi
cago-fiye cities as important or his
torical as any other five perhaps in
the world.
London is considerably north of
New York. 1t is situated in about
51.45 degrees north latitude, thus
being in about the same parallel as
Calgary York Sun.

 "Of the 429 prescriptions analysed 96, or about one in five, were found to be inaccurate, as compared with 29 out Of IFS in 1921, says the report
 Coupled with this statement of the apparent carelessness of the Eng fish drug store clerk is the disquiet- ing information to the Britisher that the percentage of adulteration of drugs increased from 6.7 per cent to 7..3 per cent during 1922. Adverse reports were made on 423 samples out of B. S63 samples taken.

CHAUFFEUR DID SHOOTING WITH REVOLVER BELONGING TO
 NOTED ACTRESS

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.-Courtland operator of Denver, Colorado, was shot and seriously wounded in his apartments last night in the presence of Mabel Normand, and Edna Pur- by Dimes that Joseph Kelly, alias H. A. Greer MabePs chauffeur, did the shooting with Miss Normand's revol- ver The chauffeur when arrested sai lily and that Miss Normand was in an intoxicated condition and the chauf- feur sought to take her home He al- legged that Dimes interfered and tried to smash him over the head with whiskey bottle, when he pulled the re- vOlver and fired to save himself from injury. Ii is said that Dimes will re- cover.
 This is the second shooting affray Mabel Normand has been involved in, she being the mystery woman in the William Desmond Taylor murder case at Los Angeles a year or so ago. It will be remembered that Desmond was shot and killed at his bungalow in lonely spot in the hills near this city at which time he was in com pany with Mabel Normand. The iden- tjty of the assassin was never reveal ed It was stated some time after ward that Desmond Taylor was en- gagged to the movie actress and that the engagement had been broken off.
 Hollywood movie circles are much agitated over the recent affair, realiz ing the unpleasant notoriety accruing from an affair of this kind.
 The infatuation of Kelly for Miss Normand, his employer, and his jeal- ousy of her wealthy Denver acquain- tance are said by the police to be the motives that prompted him to shoot Dimes. It is alleged that Dimes is an admirer Of Miss Purviance. He has been twice divorced though only 33.
