BORDER SHOWS
BIG CHANGE in
FOUR DECADES

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 80. U.P)-
Border life was much different 40
years ago than it is today. Here
are some of the recollections of E.
Strauss, who now lives in Juarez
Mex, across the border from Ell
PaSo.
Forty years ago, according to
Strauss:
You went TO Juarez in mule
drawn car.
You insulted your girl friend if
you took her into cafe.
There we're three saloons in
Juarez and scores in FL Paso OTIS
much different today.
Gambling was allowed in Juarez
but once year, but Ell Paso was
wide OPEN.
Vice of every description flour
ished in Ell Paso, but Juarez resi-
dents we're unconcerned about it.
Juarez had population of about
$4,000 persons; Ell Paso about 5000
Americans took girls to Juarez
to high class dances and parties
1t was a disgrace for a girl to be
seen in a saloon.
Americans did all their drinking
on the American side.
"Yes, sir, them was the days,
sighed Strauss.

Daily Report Of

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 U.P>-Tho
stock market today Jagged along
in a narrow range with trading
dull and uninteresting.
The market lacked feature and
neither bears nor bulls risked COM
mittments. There were several
periods of firmness when prices
moved up to previous closing levels
but none of these was pushed.
AT the close today the industrial
and utility averages were slightly
under the December 81 closing fig
ures, while the rails were slightly
higher. The net result for Janu-
ary, therefore, was exactly zero.
Far more interest was displayed
in the cotton and grain markets.
Japan was reported heavy buyer
of cotton in the near positions, os-
tensibly for war purposes. Shorts
covered in wheat and sent the
price up The japanese activities
in Shanghai were brought into the
gossip as responsible for this rise
but otherwise it was unexplainable.
The bond market provided an in
teresting feature in the japanese
government section where selling
went ahead to the close. Japanese
government 5l2 per cent bonds
made a record at Sc, off 27s from
the previous close. Japanese yen
rallied to the previous close after
an early decline. the recovery being
brought on by artificial support.

LANGUAGES TAUGHT
TO POLICE OF PARIS.
Prefect Hopes to Have Every
Man a Linquist to Help
Foreign Visitors.

PARIS, June 2 (N.A.N.AD.-For
some years Paris policemen have been
encouraged in the study Of foreign
languages and a certain number have
been passed for special duty as pro-
1cient linguists. M. Chiappe the prefect,
has now decided that this is net enough.
Every young policeman in future will
have to know at least one other tongue
besides his own.
Study Is going on apace and 1t Is
hoped that quite soon one out CT every
three policemen will be able to speak
English German or Italian. At present
$50 talk English. 180 speak German 100
italian and 100 Spanish. These men are
posted on the main thoroughfares and
near railway stations race courses and
theaters
Uses 80 Key Words.
The English instructor to the police
force is NJ Confida, who makes no dii-
ficulty about coping with a class of a
hundred young men. NJ Confida en-
ployes the most up-to-date methods, for
he is young and enthusiastic teacher
He has reduced the study of English
to only 80 key words for his beginners
class. His "blackboard' is worked cleo
trlcally with colored lights playing upon
different strips Of glass bearing the Eng
ish words. The gendarmes are very at
tentive and most keen to get the coveted
interpreters badge
One of M. Chiappes objects in this
Nguistic drive is to remove the private
Interpreters and casual guides from the
streets, public galleries and museums
where they make themselves nuisance.
The prefect hopes, by hard work and
the wholehearted cooperation of his
men, to make it possible for almost
any foreigner in the Capital to be able
to obtain instantly directions or advice
from the nearest policeman he sees.
Every man linguist' is the slogan of
the force and enthusiasm is not lacking
Also Study Slang.
The French language itself is not
without difficulties for the raw young
gendarme and every day it becomes
more important to be conversant with
of attention is now being paid to
this French thieves Latin, which
dates back to the fifteenth century
and the "Cour des Miracles"
There may be said to be something
like a vogue for this secret tongue
A new book by Francis Cargo, the
novelist Of the Paris underworld, filled
with people who express themselves in
the ancient words. and very interest
ing work called The Mysterious Life
Of the Argot" have no doubt had a
good deal to do with present inter-
est in French slang
Paul Reboux one of the most pop
ular journalists of today has stated
that 1t Is objectionable not to be
able to speak "Argot." He descibes
1t as a magnificent vehicle for express
sing vigorous thoughts and further
persuasion is not necessary for it has
become really fashionable to borrow
words from this language.

TWICE TRIES SUICIDE
Man Jumps Into Shallow Creek
Then slashes Throat With Knife.

GARY. Ind, June 2 R.-A man
identified as Carl G. Hoopengarner,
about 40, Of Sturges, Mich, twice at
tempted suicide here yesterday and was
taken to hospital in a critical condi-
ton.
Police said they had information that
he once was an inmate of an asylum
at Kalamazoo. Mich. He first jumped
into creek, found that the water was
only three feet deep, and then lay down
on a railroad right of way and slashed
his throat with pocket knife.

English Monetary Unit
Adopted From the Roman

The English monetary unit. the
pound, was originally pound weight
Of silver. and corresponded to the Ro-
man libra Uatin pound weighD, from
which is derived the "f" designating
this denomination. This pound was
soon known as the Pound Tower be-
cause the chief mint Of the country
was established In the tower, and by
1t the weight of English coins was reg
ulated. 1t contained 5,4O0 grains and
was divided into IL ounces Of 20 pen
nyweights each. The Pound Troy su-
perseded the Pound Tower In 1927,
and contained $3.50 grains.
The shilling, division Of the pound
weight of silver, corresponded to Ro-
man solidus, and the penny, which rep
resented the 240th part Of pound,
corresponded to the Roman denarius.
Hence we have the abbreviations (, s.
and d.
The Roman system Of computation
was adopted by all European coun-
tries after they had accepted Roman
Christianity. In England 1t was adopt
ed by Ethelbert of Kent at the begin
ming Of the Seventh century.

Treasure Beyond Price
Il Excavators' Reward


From east to west archeologists have
announced their discoveries Of tombs
filed with the treasures and splendor
of ancient kings.
Professor Garstang has found the
tombs Of the kings who reigned in
Jerico 35 centuries ago as vassals OF
the Pharaohs.
Over 500 vases were found in one of
these royal tombs, and In a tomb Of
earlier period, 1000 years old, hum
dreds OF Bronze age objects were dis
covered.
Don Alphonso Case, excavating in
Mexico, opened tomb Of the rulers
Of the Mixtecs, who preceded the Az
tees as lords Of Central America.
This was about the time Columbus
first reached the New world. Little
did he guess that he had come to a
land with a civilization which had
achieved the treasures brought to light.
Don Alphonso reported that the
finds were worth millions-utensils of
gold, jars of onyx, skulls encrusted
with turquoise, vases, and beautiful
ornaments made by skilled craftsmen.
The scene Of this find Is among the
ruins at Monte Alban near Oaxaca.
