Great Southern Overland
Known as "Jackass Mail"

The first transcontinental mail
service, known as the "Great South
ern Overland" was inaugurated by
James Birch three years before the
Wells Fargo Pony Express came in
to existence, states a San Diego
(Calif.) correspondent in the Boston
Herald.
Known to pioneers as the "Jack-
ass Mail" the line operated from
San Diego to San Antonio, Texas,
and then eastward to the Atlantic
seaboard.
The southern mail route ran
across San Diego county to Fort
Yuma, on the California side of the
Colorado river 1t went through
Tucson, Ariz., to Ell Paso, Texas,
and on to San Antonio, Texas, for
total distance of 1900 miles
There connections were made by
rail, stage and steamer to eastern
points.
Often compared in historical i'm.
portance with victories Of the army
in the war with Mexico a decade
before, Birch's mail line is credited
with aiding in preserving the West
for the United States.
AS investment, the Great
Southern Overland" was no shoe
string venture. Its financial report
listed assets of more than $500, 900.
The line owned 1000 good stage
horses, valued at 900; 148 old
stage horses, $4,000; al Spanish
horses, $1,140; 127 mules, $19,050,
and So coaches, $44, 100"
Coaches and wagons, as we'll as
saddle ponies, were used in carry
ing mail and passengers over the
route and when inclement weather
begged down the roads, so horse
or mule drawn vehicles came to an
impasse, riders-and sometimes
passengers-mounted mule or horse
and logged over the mountains on
saddle route shortcut.
Yuma Indians and bandits
logged the trail of many intrepid
mail carriers, and often, after
crossing 100 miles Of desert east Of
San Diego, the pioneers would find
their charted water holes dried up
or filed with sand.

7avo4ite Recipe
OK the Meek-
Baked Peaches for Garnish
or Dessert.

CANNED peach halves baked in
- their own syrup with the addi-
ton of sugar, butter and sus-
picion of cinnamon make an ideal
fruit to feature with the meat
course or they are equally de-
licious to have for dessert. Serve
them hot or cold but hot fruit
during the winter months is es-
pecially good.
Baked Peaches.
I No. 21a can peach 8 tablespoons
a n cup brown sugar Cinnamon
Pour the peaches and the syrup
into shallow pan, cake pan is
convenient to use. Turn the peach
halves so the cut side is up.
Sprinkle the sugar over the
peaches, place piece of butter in
each peach where the pit was re-
moved and sprinkle them ever
so lightly with cinnamon. Bake in
a hot oven (450 degrees) until the
sugar on the edges of the peach
begins to brown, or about 30 min
utes. If you wish a more pro-
nounced brown edge, set the pan
of peaches under the broiler for
a few minutes.
Canned pear halves are de-
licious prepared in this same man
ner.
If the fruit is served as a des-
sert, plain cream is nice to serve
with it.

Rugs, Draperies
For Sur,Iit Room
By BETTY WELLS

''This will be the first time I've
bought everything new and I'm wor-
ried to death for fear I'll make mis-
takes" writes M. F. II enclose
diagram OF the living room and
sample of wall paper. In nice
weather the sun is in the room all
day so think reds would seem too
warm. Since the walls are in this
tan paper with a little dull green
in it, want a friendly color for
contrast and was thinking of getting
an olive green broadloom rug (size
IL by 15). Would this do? What
then for draperies? Must they be
solid because walls are figured, or
should l reverse the colors, using
fabric with green ground and
brown figures or leaves? If the
upholstered furniture were any 9th.

The speed with which Bayer tab
lets act in relieving the distressing
symptoms of colds and accompany
ing sore throat is utterly amazing
and the treatment is simple
and pleasant. This is all you do.
Crush and dissolve three genuine
Bayer Aspirin tablets in one-third
glass of water. Then gargle with
this mixture twice, holding your
head we'll back.
This medicinal gargle will act
almost like a local anesthetic on
the sore, irritated membrane of
your throat. Pain eases promptly:
rawness is relieved.
You will say it is remarkable.
And the few cents it costs effects
abig saving over expensive throat

And when you buy, see that you
get genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.

For Chest. Colds

Distressing cold in chest or throat,
never safe to neglect, generally eases
up when soothing, warming Mus
terole is applied.
Better than mustard plaster,
Musterole gets action because it's
NOT just salve, It's a "counter-
irritant"- stimulating, penetrating,
and helpful in drawing out local con-
gestion and pain.
Used by millions for 80 years.
Recommended by many doctors and
nurses. All druggists. In three
strengths: Regular Strength, Chill
dren's (mild), and Extra Strong. APP

As Discipline

Besides performing at least one
good deed every day, each of us
should perform one unusual dis
agreeable duty each day.
Some people won't go into any
kind of movement unless they are
allowed to run things, and gen
orally they are permitted to.
Silence under oppression fosters
lot of rancOrous malice.
Facts are of no account if you
don't reason from them.

ney, sponsored by The Star, will clash
in the opening contests next Thurs
day, when the crack War Department
team, several times winner of the
Mellon Trophy, meets the F. B. l. out
fit, headed by Astor Clarke. Right off
the bat one of the two better teams
in the tournament must go down in
defeat. It's a characteristic of the
type Of competition in the coming
tourney, but it won't necessarily mean
ultimate defeat for the loser. The two
will meet in the initial contest at the
Belle Haven course. near Alexandria.
Tommy Webb, a long hitter and for

Clarke is no slouch and John L. Quig-

Buchanan Shares Record.
The War Department team includes
Tom M. Belshe. former individual
Government champ; Col Kenneth
Buchanan, co-holder of the Army

Capt. F.. L. Parks.
But there aren't many soft spots
along the line in the schedule of this

Procurement clashes with Treasury in
one of the feature matches of the
tourney Thursday. With big Bill
Harvey as the spearhead of the Pro-
