HIGHER SIDEWALKS
FOR SHORT SKIRTS

PARIS, July 2 CF9-Higher skirts
justify higher sidewalks, say the SCI
entific members of the city traffic
commission. They think many side
walks and the safety islands are SO
low as to be too easily climbed by ex-
citable automobile drivers.
The commission delved into records
and found that the sidewalks and ped
estrian refugees called in French Fool
Protectors" s"-were made low in days
when women's skirts dragged the
ground. Now that skirts are higher
there seems to be no reason why Wo-
men can't step few inches higher.

it know very little about commission
companies. Douglas has several sub
stantial business houses which carry
on trade across the border. One OF
the best is the International Commits
zion company whose name suggests
its business.
This company has large interests in
Sonora and many enterprises under
its care that extend throughout the
republic. One of its interests which
is fairly well known to the public, es-
pecially to the poultry raiser and the
stock feeder, is the flour mill in Aqua
Prieta.
This mill is turning out chicken feed
and good grade of flour nearly the
year year around, and 1t supplies
large percentage of The bran that 10
fed to the dairy herds in the Douglas
district. This bran is known as
Mexico bran and is an excellent grade.
! The grain that is used in this mill
| is shipped for the most part from the
agricultural districts of Mexico, but
some of it is brought into the district
from points in the United States as
the operators have found it necessary
and advisable to keep the mill run
ming even when the supply Of grain
from the south is cutshort.
There is very little grain raised in
the immediate vicinity of this mill,
which proves that by proper use Of
the coarser portions Of the grain for
feed purpo2os any flour mill will pros
per when its supplies must be shipped
long distances. In this case the fin
ished product finds ready market in
the Douglas district Some Of the
flour, however, is shipped to other
places.

This pause is short and the attend
ants coming to work just before sun
rise find plenty to occupy them in
serving the carly guests of new

learned shat there is retreshment
in the hospitality OF this Glib that
starts the day right for them and
they take great pleasure in their early
morning vi5itG. A chat with the at
tendants and the other early risers,
refreshing breakfast, and away to

Many people who have been resi-
dents of the border country for years
and have come to appreciate the
pleasures Of an evening spent at such
q place as Che Gem have regular
habit of organizing parties at inter-
walls for g dinner and evening Of
dancing at this ho5pitable place.
McGivern makes O speciality of such
parties and usually delegates an at

different tables with special care. He
insists on good service and tries in
every way to convince his guests that
his one aim and ambition is to please
them.
The Gem is coming more and more
to be the gathering place of those
bent on entertainment. and an OBJ
server will see manv parties stroll in

McGivern caters to this trai. oil hui

see that everyone gets the thing he

Probably the best feature Of the
club is the managers constant de-
mand that the place be kept orderly
