DYE TRUST EMPLOYEES
RECEIVE BETTER PAY

BERLIN July 2 Employees of
the German dye trusts companies earn
on an average about $677 year, ac-
cording to figures submitted at the
annual meeting of shareholders at
Frankfort recently. This is conSid-
erab1y more than they earned prior to
the war.
Total salaries paid out during 1926
came to about $55, 100000. Added to
this was sum of $2,800,000 for state
social welfare, as required by law. The
companies assessed themselves $5O00,-
600 voluntarily for social welfare prof.
ects of their own, bringing the total
expenditure for pension funds, better
ment of living conditions, etc., up to
nearly 500 a head. in the soft coal
mines operated by the trust the 5 per
cent levy on wages for the obligatory
social welfare fund, is doubled.
The dye trust at the beginning of
1927 was employing 88, ,152 persons. The
figure for the same date in 1926 was
$5, ,406.

The public gathering place in the

great open air dances are held. These

they have failed to produce that

PUT GERMAN AIRBRAKES
ON ALL FRENCH TRAINS

PARIS, July 2 09-Thanks to the
Dawes plan, French freight trains will
have airbrakes instead of the present
primitive hand brakes. The change
will take five years and will cost
$4,000.
The necessity for the change has
long been recognized. Plans had been
drawn up, but owing to lack of funds
they seemed doomed to slumber indie
finitely in their pigeon holes until
Andre iTardieu, minister of public
works, had the idea of using Frances
rights under the Dawes plan. BY the
program drawn up by M. Tardieu, a
large part of the work will be carried
out by German industry under the
heading of payment in kind, and the
rest by French industry.

Aqua PRIETA Wins name OF
CLEANEST MEXICAN CITY ON
BORDER; HAS fine RESORTS
Maintains Friendly Relations With Douglas at All
Times and Through All Sorts of TribuIatiOns
SAFE. FOR TRAVELLERS TO VISIT
Law and Order Is AS Good AS Anywhere and Tourist
Traffic Is Encouraged Heartily

Aqua Prieta, the cleanest little city
on the Mexican side of the border line
between this country and the south
ern republic, is situated just al the
end of G avenue and is really a con-
tinuation of Douglas, with few va
cant lots and a barbed wire fence be-
tween.
Contrary to the popular belief among
people who do not live on the border
, there is nothing mysterious nor dan
gerouS about Aqua Prieta. Law and
order reign there Any man, if he be
an American citizen, may visit that
city at any hour of the night or day
and if he conducts himself in proper
manner, he will encounter no trouble
of any sort.
The town is not large but its streets
are straight, it's. homes are picturesque
and its people are friendly to Ameri-
cans. 1t is essentially resort city
The principal business is the resort
business and there are large number
of cabaret-cafe establishments, all OF
which cater to the American trade al
most exclusively.
The Mexican residents of the city
are mainly Smelter workers and en-
ployeS of the resorts, with fair
sprinkling of officials. There is a
detachment of Mexican federal troops
stationed there, number of state po-
lice, municipal police, customs guards
and immigration patrolmen.
AS the city is a port and the south
ern side of the gateway TO Sonora
there is more officialdom there than
in the average city in the interior of
a country. Border towns arc not like
interior towns in any country.
There is an international atmos-
phere. The people of Aqua Prieta buy
their clothes and their household fur
niShingS in Douglas, and the people
Of Douglas, in return, buy many things
in Aqua Prieta, Two languages are
spoken in Aqua Prieta. This is also
true of Douglas. Two police forces
work in both towns the American
force of Douglas and the Mexican
force of Aqua Prieta. Relations be-
tween the customs and immigration
forces Of the two countries are not SO
cordial, owing to the dangerous and
very serious nature of their patrol
work, but there has never been an in
stance of warfare between the two
sets of officials while on patrol, as
has been repeatedly reported from

eta and progress, in things educational
goes forward rapidly. Sanitation is
well looked after and new laws and
regulations regarding the disposal of
garbage and the, inspection OF food
stuffS are being passed at intervals.
There are certain quarters of the
city that have a great historical in
terest, owing to the many revolutions
and to the fact that in nearly every
great armed political struggle in the
republic this city has been fought
over by contending armies, sometimes
for months.
A large number of the men who
have at one time or another held the
office of president have carried on
their career with at least one visit
to this city in the course of their strug-
giles for supremacy.

When Douglas relaxes and seeks
amusement and change, it goes to
Aqua Prieta When Aqua Prieta re-
lakes and takes holiday, 1T parades
! the streets of Douglas The Aqua
Prieta Chamber of Commerce is as
modern and progressive an instltu-
tion as one could expect to sec any
/ where and one of the principal items
that it considers and works on is en-
couragement of brisk tourist trade
from the United States.
There are no formalitieS to crossing
the border between Douglas and Aqua
Prieta. At times there have been
cards to sign and pictures to show,
but at this time there is absolutely
no restraint except that persons must
enter through the port gates, must
submit to search of their cars, both
by the American officials and by the
Mexican officials and must answer any
questions asked.
At this time few persons are stopped
on either side except by the customs
men on the south side who open the
doors of cars and look to- see If there
is anything contraband in the car
That is all. They then wave their
hand for the car to drive on and
that gesture is as if they presented
the keys to the city.
The moral tone in Aqua Prieta is
high. Gambling, considered the curse,
financially, if not morally, of rhe av-
erage border town, is taboo here. At
the veriest suggestion that someone
is about to open gambling den, the
town is up in arms and the fever
spreads to Douglas and to Washington
and Mexico City. Once, not SO long
ago, both the Mexican authorities and
the American authorities closed the
port in order to discourage this prac-
itice.
The gambling den was forced to
close at once for the Americans who
supported the games of chance could
not enter the city and the Mexicans
I5who worked at the smelters in Doug
las could not go. to work.
This port holds the record for it's
friendly relations between the two re-
publics. It has never been perma
nently closed and there has never been
time when Americans were not safe
in Aqua Prieta except when, IN past
revolutions, they might have been
struck by stray bullet.

The White House club, the one old
established and popular establishment
of Aqua Prieta, stands on one of the
principal streets of the city and di-
rectly south of the port gates, so that
anyone visiting Aqua Prieta foc the
first time will have no trouble il. find
ing the place.
This club is operated by U. S. Will
liams and A. T. Sammarcelli and has
been run by them for many years with
one rule of business that vhey must
secure the best in refreshments OF all
kinds and they must serve this high
quality output in creditable manner.
Besides a large general reception
room where most of the customers
congregate, the White House main
tains a large number of booths with
tables and all arrangements for the

serving of dinners. An excellent cafe
service is kept up at all times and the
most appetizing of both Spanish and
American dishes can be secured there.
One of the fine things about the
White House is that persons who are
in hurry or who do not wish to get
out of their cars can drive in at the
rear of the club, park their cars under
roof and ring a bell that hangs
from this roof, SO that it bangles just
bY5ide the drivers seat. A waiter
appears instantly and takes the order.
This order can be for almost anything
imaginable and it will be served imme-
diately on tray that can bet set in a
car seat or held on the lap.

The Douglas Business and Profess

professional women.
One-fourth of the members may be

ness or profession. The Douglas clubs
chief work is a scholarship loan fund
for deserving girls. Two girls nave
been enabled to take higher educa-
tional work through the use OF this
fund and are now teaching. Three
more girls will attend Tempe normal
school this year because Of the aid
given by this money.
Each year the club sponsors q home

organization in the city puts an act
in this show and prizes are awarded
| for the best acts. This annual vaude-
vile has been very popular ever since
it was started and the competition in
these acts is keen and the shows are
on a very high order
Through the fact that the proceeds
of these shows go into the scholarship

way, participating in this work OF

Weekly here, which has been build

were nearly 300 stations waiting for
wave lengths, and that the applZca-

Caldwell reminded the klansmen
that the law demands that building
permits be obtained before con-
struction is begun. The Khan station
is nearly completed.
Khan officials, in return, said that
the hackers of the station were pro-
ceeding in an orderly way and that
the radio commission would be
shown that the application filed
represents the wishes of millions of
Americans"
The Khan application for build
ing permit shows that station of
5000 watts power is desired. This
would be one of the most powerful
