Ell ENIGMA DEL
CATO ENCARNADo

Miles y miles de libras de coloran-
tes alemanes, de gran valor. habian ST.
do robadas en- los tiltimos dias. de los
almacenes de la firma manufactured
Textile Alliance, de Hoboken Des-
pues de var:os dias de investigaciones
inntiIes, ell 'Jefe Stone, del "Depar-
tamento de Invest gaciones'' de New
Jersey, tuvo que llegar a la conclusion
do que los cacos no ha bian dejado nj
una sola huella que permitiera seguir-
les la pista.
'Seria inutil tratar de dar con los
colorantes ''-dijo ell Jefe Stone-s'pues
estos no tenian ninguna SERIAL mar
ca por la cual pudiesen ser identified
dos, y ademas su precio en- ell mercado,
daba grandes facilidades los ladro-
mes para deshacerse de ellos Lo uni
co que podemos hacer es vigilar aten-
tamente y esperar que algo extraordi-
mario nos de la clave del problema -
algo extraordinario hubo de SUI
ceder-quizas mas extraordinario de
10 que Ell mismo Jefe Stone esperaba.
Como cuarenta dias despues de los
acontecimiento, ell Jefe Stone oyo que
uno de sus agentes le contaba a otro
un espectaculo raro que habia podi-
do presenciar la noche anterior.
"Yo estaba en- la encrucijada de
las GALES Quinta Y Jackson, ''-decia
ell agente-" cuando vi a un cato ST,
no hay NADIA extraordinario EN- yer
un cato, pero es el case que este cato
era sumamente raro. Era color anaran-
jado, al menos la mitad de su cuer-
po, y la otra mitad era sumamente en-
carnada -
-G"Un cato acknowledgements
to ell otro.
echandose reir escandalosamen-
te, continue: "Que historias de bru-
jas me cuentas?" IGatos encarnados7
ia, ia, ia. . Y ell ingenuo no cesaba
de reir.
Pero ell Jefe Stone no estaba para
bromas, nj mucho menos pens6 que ell
agente del cuento estaba borracho. 81
no que vic en- ell hecho la ansiada pis-
ia que habia de conducirle la solu-
cion del problema que tanto lie habia
lsecho pensar dTante las dos nltimas
semanas.
GCual era esa pista como Sc las
averiguo ell Jefe Stone para resolver ell
misterio de los colorantes robados? Po-
dria I'd resolver Ell problema? Ell Je-
fe Stone 10 hizo.

Hace va tanto tempo que no Sc
dan carreras en- el "Quintana Rae
ing Park, que una buena parte dc
los hipicns de esta capital ha llegadC
a creerse que de ahora en- adelante
tan solo funcionara ell hip0dromo dC

estado hablando extensamente con
don Deogracias Viera, propietaric
del Qulntana, quien nos ha demos
trado que NADIA esta mas lejos de
su mente que suspender la celebra-
ci0n de carreras en- su magnifico hi
podromo. al efecto nos ha dado
interesartisima information que tras-
mitimos nuestroS lectores.
LA PISTA SERA EXTENDIDA
Nos dice nuestro amigo, que la
pista del Quintana ha de ser extern
dida a una milla. Los hipicos sabe:,
que aun cuando el Quintana es bas-
tante eXtensO, Sc hacia notar el he
cho de que la pista debia ser ex-
tendida. Ell ST.. Viera, teniendo en-
cuenta esa recesidad, sc propone ex-
tender considerablemente la pista, de
manera que los caballos tengan to-
das las facilidades para correr, ha-
ciendo car1eras que dejen completa-
mente satisfecho al publico. Y TO eS
tan solo ESQ, sino que la pista ha
de ser afirmada nuevamente, por 10
que no sera de extranarse que cuan-
do Sc reanuden las carreras en- ell
Quintana, varios caballos que no es-
tan acostumbrados a correr sino es
en- pista airmada, den algunas sor-
presas los hipicos, hacienda carre-
ras excelentes.
Ell GRAND STAND SERA
CAMBIADO
Adcmas, ell gIand-stand sera cam
biado por complete. Al Sr. Vicra no
le importan gastos con tai de dejar
al publico satisfecho, a! efecto,
todo el grand-stand viejo q. hay ac
tualmente en- el Quintana sera qui-
tado, en- su lugar, Sc pondra otro,
ercargado eXpresamente a los Esta-
dos Unidos, con todas las comonida-
des adelantos modernos. FL sobe-
rano que paga y Ordena, tendra
pues grand-stand nuevo al reanudarse
las carreras en- el Quintana, un
grand-stand soberbio, propio para
pasar c6modamente sentado esas abu-
rridas tardes de los domingos, que
nos hacen veces hasta aborrecer
esta vida tan monotona.
HABRA CARRERAS EN-
OCTUBRE
Y no hay tai cosa de que no Sc
han de dar mas carreras en- el Quin-
tana Racing Park. Ell Sr. Viera nos
q. durante el mes de octubre,
Sc reanudaran las carreras en- el
Quintana, con mas entusiasmo que
nunca. Y con la ventaja de que pa
ra entonces habra una pista mas
extensa, completamente afirmada, Y
un grand-stand moderno traido eX-
de los Estados Unidos.
Pueden irse preparando, pues, los

para cuando Sc reanuden las carre-

important Of the things we wish to
mention. This is the flag. On at
least half a dozen public buildings,
flags such as they are, are displayed
whipping themselves to shreds,
through sunshine and shadow, through
fair and stormy weather, and only re-
placed by another to meet a similar
fate when there is little more than
the binding edge left to wave.
Few flags are displayed, on Memoir
ial Day, Fourth of July or Armistice
Day, unless a celebration is held here
and about the only way one is reminded
that Flag Day or Colorado Day, Wash
ington's or Lincoln's birthday have
arrived, is by the signs on the bank
doors stating that this is a Legal
Holiday. And then we scratch our
chins and hunt up the old almanac
and find out just which holiday it is.
Sometime within "a hours after the
death of President Harding flags were
hoisted or lowered as the case may
be, to proper half mast, and then
allowed to hang through all kinds Of
weather night and day, even on our
state armory building, the required
80 days. On one building it was kept
so for nearly go days before someone
remembered it and drew it to the
top.
Then the flags are hung, in many
instances, just any old way so they
are up. So far we do not recall seeing
any hung upside down. On Colorado
Day we saw but one flag hung out for
the occasion besides our own, and
that was draped. Heaven forgive us
when we drape the Stars and Stripes.
On one Armistice Day a display of
merchandise was set on the flag, in
one window.
One way to remember how to hang

GOOD ROADS AND TAXES

Motor vehicle owners in the Unit.
ed States paid over All million dollars
in taxes last year. There are only
100000 miles of surfaced highways in
the whole country. So auto and mo-
torcycle owners in one year pay more
than $1,000 taxes for every mile Of
good roads. The hole made in Amer
lean pocketbooks by autos reminds
one Of the craters on the moon. But
the auto is easily three-fourths a ne
cessity, only one-fourth a pleasure de-
vice. 1t is cheap at any price con-
sidering the time it saves. Time. af-
ter all, is the thing of greatest value
among our many forms of wealth.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH OUR TOWN

There are many things about our
town which are mighty fine. For
instance, the sugar factory with its
millions paid to farmers and to en-
ployees; the canning factory where
the women and girls make their pin
money, and hundreds OF other things.
But there are something's which
could easily be improved or done away
with, without requiring a bond cleo
tion or the expenditure of any money.
There are obsolete signs in every
quarter. Signs of bounders who re.
manned long enough to hire a painter
a few hours, and who have waxed and
waned and cast their radiance and
bad debts over half a dozen communi-
ties since that time.
A crude sign which was placed at
many months ago, warning travellers
to take This Road to Grand juno

matte finger down Fifth, thus side.
