Towns Along Mexican Border Highway To Send Represen'tives.

D . J . Guinun, secretary of the new­ly organized chamber of commerce at Sanderson, was a visitor in the city Monday an met with a number; of the representative citizens here at luncheon Monday noon. '

The main object of Mr. Guinan's visit was to get some pointers on how to successfully operate a cham­ber of commerce, he. said, and inas­much as the Sanderson organization is only a few weeks old and in need of advice from older organizations, Mr. Guinan came here to talk oyer matters with the chamber of com­merce secretary and other officiels. '

N Discuss Highway.

to An important matter discussed with Mr. Guinan was that of obtain­ing more trade for the Mexican Bor­der Highway which runs through both Alpine and Sanderson. This is the most direct route from El Paso to San Antonio, according to high­way officials, and also in much bet­ter condition than other routes tra­versing this section of the state and it is the desire of all towns located on the Mexican Border route to get together and advertise these facts.

As a result of Mr. Guinan's visit here it was decided to invite repre­sentatives of all the chambers of commerce on the Mex-Border route from Sanderson to Valentine to meet here on Monday May 23, which is a regular meeting day for the Alpine chamber, and discuss plans for bet­ter advertising the Border route and thereby attracting more tourists trade.

An effort will be made to get all these organizations lined up and backing the southern route which is already attracting many ' tourists. The meeting will be , verv-.important and it - is -tliertksircpia^ehaTribey^^ commerce officials here that a big attendance be present on that date.

Good Things Cost. We"occnsionally hear, when we ask

, a Marfa citizen why this or that im-•'proverrieni; is not being made, that "it costs money." And we consider it a-

_ bout the flimsiest answer that could be given. Community betterment does not ' mean, cxtravagence. Every im-provemeni; comes under the head of

. a gocd thing, and of course good thingi; coiit money. But don't we get our money's worth out of them?

;There can be no progress without ex­pense; wis cannot have the comforts and the things we ought'to have with out going into our pockets for them. Public improvements come under this head. No one wants to see a town go past the danger point in the matter of debt Eut-'the'r is such a thing as

; "false economy." If we are going to • stand still, block progress and be con­tent to do without the things we ought to have simply because "they

.cost money" then we're faHing into a rut well never get out of.

WE recently were given the tremendous advantage of having the mammoth Firestone factories brought to us. In Tire Educational Meetings we were

shown, by means of motion pictures, charts, tire samples and complete engineer­ing data, the details of Firestone tire design and construction—and how Fire­stone, and Oldfield tires'and tubes are made in the world's most efficient and economical rubber factories. • : ' <

Firestone pioneered the original low-pressure tire and made it practical by Gum-Dipping. The motion pictures showed us how the cords of the carcass are dipped in a rubber solution, thoroughly saturating and insulating every fiber of every cord with rubber. Simple demonstrations and tests ulustrated the great advantage of this process, which supplies the extra strength to withstand the extra flexing strains of low-pressure construction—-one of the reasons why

' Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires are establishing such unheard-of inueage records.

'. .'We learheH why the Firestone Balloon Tread gives, extra safety, comfort and long wear. We were shown..why Firestone, from the very begin-. -ning, designed and continue to use. the round

-Balloon Tread, niinimizmg; "shoulder breaks", so ~ destructive to" tires,; Excess'rubber at the edges of a Balloon Tread is wasted—actually detrimental to dre mileage. In the Firestone Tread the small units and tiharp projections are sdenti^cally placed .

"The point of interest 'in >this whole golden story is the - fact that it has attracted renewed at­tention to the wealth hi precious minerals to be found - in'Texas, and incidentlly has brought into the light of publicity thef fact that the Lone Star J State has what is probably ' the • richest quicksilver deposits in the U.

"The promised completion of Orient Railroad -fn Mexico and Texas to connect at Presidio has aroused the hopes of the people of that section of the approach of a period of prosperity such as has seldom been the lot of any people. Building north from Chihuahua the railroad now is within 40 miles of Presidio, and construction from Alpine, the end of the northern spur, to the border will penetrate a wonder­fully rich country not only in mineral wealth but in ajrricul-tural possibilities.''

"CROM one Coast to the other, ~ A- The Commander is smaihing records of speed, records of hill climbing, record] of sales!

5000 Miles in Less Than . 5000 Minute*

In a recent sensational test at Cul­ver City, California, under the auspices of the American Auto­mobile Association, Harry Hart: and three other noted pilots drove The Commander—a strictly stock, fully-equipped enclosed car-5000 miles in 4909 minutes, totalclapsed time, establishing ten new world records.'

This Is better than mUe-a-mlnute speed for 81 con­secutive hours and 49 minutes—the fastest speed for the farthest distance evi:r attained by any stock car!

The Commander Ott.t»Cltmbs AH Other Cars In another public contest, five automobile dealers in Batavia, N . Y. , challenged Studebaker's repeated statement that The Commander will out-perform any car selling within a thousand ' dollars of its price. Tlie scene of the contest was a long hill near Batavia with an average grade of 10%.

The Commander won every test made — creeping test, standing •tart and flying start Then, to cap the climax, The Commander carried seventeen caen, weighing' 2794 pounds, to the top In high gear, the speedometer reading 35 miles at the start and 22 miles at the finish.

Harry Hartz wired qs, after set* ting 10 new world records in

The Commander! "Based on my experience driving mj per. tonal Studebaker Commander; ana In malting the recent record run at Culver

' City Speedway with a Studebaker Com­mander strictly stock model, it is my opinion that it will maintain any given speed, up to 65 miles per hour, longer, more tmoolhiy, and at lest expense per hour traveled, for gasoline, oil and re. pairs, than any other stock automobile now being buiit in the United States.''

C , the Capitol Garage dedicated its new building by inviting a l l the automobile dealers to d}igs-e in an indoor hill* climbing contoit—a climbof twenty ramps, ten stories in height. . Hie Commander wound its way easily up the steep ramps in high gear—and 5000 people cheered

i its; victory over the field* After* the contest, K)2 drivers of difFcrenfccars tried to equal TheCommander'ii time-record—but every one failed!

What The:!e Records Mean to Y o u " You probably will 1 sever need milc-a-minute jpced for 5C0C miles—you may never .want to enter a hill* climbing contest. But these remarkable records are further proof of.wliat we have demonstrated time and again on Studebaker's 800-tcre Proving Ground—• that The .Commander, in (very phase of every-dsy driving will out-pi:rform and out-live any other car,_ six or eight, selling for less than $2500.

OKANAGAN SERPENT VICTIM vOF COLD

Monster's Death Struggles Watched by an Indian

.Vancouver, It. C—"Heaving, crack-Ing Ice, thrown, np Into mounds, near the shore of Okanagan lake, a few miles north of Kelowna B.' C , " says a dispatch from there, formed'the basis of reports that "Ogopogo, mystery monster," died' daring Uie recent cold weather..

Peter Simon, half-breed Indian,.ac-.cording to the dispatch, said that while hunting along the shore he saw the ice "torn asunder by some monster's struggles . and fragments thrown for up on the 8hori."

"Timidly venturing near," It con tlnues, "'Peter said he could see the giant form, sinuous and powerful, out lined beneath the Ice, the tall feebly thrashing for freedom and the huge head, bearing a resemblance to _ sheep, raised twice in the agony of its struggles.

From his vantage point behind a tree, Peter watched the final battle for life, saw the great form become more and more I'eeble, then subside, gently into the ice. Creeping to the lake shore he made certain the mon­ster was dead, then, dropping his rifle, rushed frantically back to Ke-lowna."

This "Ogopcgo," or sea serpent, gained much publicity for Okanagan Lake, B. C, when It was first reported as striking terror Into the hearts of the native population last summer by Its sudden appearance In their lake.

In appeoranoj the "Ogopogo" Is' de­scribed as measuring 20 feet from the tip of Its black-whiskered.snout to the end of Its scalp, serpent-like tall. It has a head like a sheep, a body like a boa constrictor, and two fins near tlie head similar tp automobile tires In texture.

Franklin Lightning Rod Goes to Museum

New York.—The Museum of the Peaceful Arts, which is to be built in this city with- u bequest of $2,500,000 made by the late Henry R. Towne, will have among Iti possessions, part of the lightning rod set up on St. Paul's cathedral, London, in 1770, on the ad­vice of Benjamin Franklin.

The lightning rid recently was sup­planted by one oi! modern make, and the authorities o:* the cathedral pre­sented to the truiitees of the museum a piece of the old one, ten and a half Inches long and weighing nine and a half poinds. 12. J. Bolwell, clerk of the works, St Paul's cathedral, In a letter accompanying the gift, wrote:

"Lightning conductors did not seem to be In vogue at the time St. Paul's was completed, but somewhere about 1770 Benjamin Franklin was called In to advise on this matter. His system appeared to be that existing metal work between the ground level and the cross should simply be connected up by means cf rod Iron. The speci­men piece which you have was taken 'from a position between the ball sup­porting the cross and the lead dome.

"A ring of rod was fixed around the lantern, Inside, and various tappings were taken downward from this aud passed through openings In the wall and then connected with the dome. The points of each length were halved together and bolted through."

" f l T H O , having viewed a display of v v millinery designed for immedi­

parts extreme stylishness to tbe;, nai pictured last In this collecUoni

. GROUP OF N E W H A T S

Just recently introduced Into tho styling of our hats and accessories.

Then there's the list of colors smart for spring. They're "different."' At least their names are—monkey skin (delicate pink), mother goose (ivory), also bonbon fondant (candy pink). "What's In a name?" say you. Let the answer be sought In tbe adorable felt hats which flaunt these very tones and tints for spring.

Interesting are the things being done with felt. There are the new frosted felts; It's "love at first sight", the moment you glimpse them. They are Just what their name lmpllea, "frosted" all over, the loveliness of their color accented because of their misty whiteness which veils them.

Pyrography felt, processed Just as we used to burn wood with a red-hot needle point, Is creating quite a sen­sation In style circles. Quaint hier­oglyphics and figures, also scenic ef­fects are literally burned Into the felt. %

There Is a craze Just now for mot­tled and spotted effects. The little first hat in this group Is smartly spot-

knows that her wardrobe Is stocked with all lovely essentials attributing to dainty dress. Of course a di­aphanous chiffon or a billowy tulle or a shimmering taffeta frock Is going to look its enchantment the more If It be worn over an adorable lingerie "dance set" such as this picture show.!.

Nor. a style point or a beauty detail is lacking In this exquisite creation of supple crepe-satin whose fluttering ribbons and sheer lace so add to Its charm. Even a cunning little lace pockf.it Is there and a modish lace yoke

Very important Is the fact that En-like the straight unbroken 1. les of the regulation costume slip this garment which takes Its place Indicates a def­inite waistline. Please to observe also that the wide filmy lace which flounces it is finely platted. Further­more, the crepe satin Itself Is plaited." this being u characteristic feature of the latest French lingerie imports.

There remnlns yet another "beauty secre:" to disclose In regard to this entrancing bit of lingerie, and that

ted with brown on beige felt. And the tiny face veil I Yes, they are wearing them In Paris.

Nothing quite so smart as "black and whitel" The hat and purse of spotted calfskin here pictured answers this style call with emphasis. Jlodlsh-ness is interpreted by the frosted felt hat shown In the top corner to the right, for Its crown is pinclioci and creased most cleverly. Furthermore Its grosgraln ribbon trim spells ut­most chic. Black felt • secUoned with cocoa felt Is the stylish compose theme expressed by the model In the lower left corner. A beret crown Im-

has to do wltb Its color which Is pale yellow. To be sure It might Just us well be peach or flesh pink, or rose shade, hydrangea or light blue or even orchid, for each Is fashionable—but yellow Is the "latest," so reads the most recent style message.

As to night robes, they are trending to shorter lengths and to more frilly feminine effects. For these Inde­structible voile Is a favored material and they are lavishly trimmed with lace. Interesting necklines and lace yokes mark their styling.

THE CITY HUM i

It didn't seem to make any differ-. e n c e to the city Teddy thought as he

sat way up high

In Hi* Daddy's Office.

and looked down at the buildings and roofs- and the streets far be­low. • , N o w i t may sound as though he had a very dangerous seat , but it was not dangerous at all . '

He was In his daddy's office and his-daddy had his office high up in one of the city of­fice buildings.

Outside th ere w a s everything going on.

. There were automobiles rushing along the street or jammed all to­gether so It appeared with tbe traf­fic.

Trucks of huge size were thunder­ing along, too.

They were building In several places nearby, too, und the* sounds of all the great machines were adding their notes to the general hum.

It seemed I'umiy to Teddy as be sat and looked nt all the buildings how much was going on and how little he seemed In tho hugeness of the city.

It seemed as though If he yelled outside the window no one at all would hear him. 1

And it seemed, so curious to think how big one fell: at times and again how small on* stemed.

.When he went for walks In the woods and si.w little flowers peeping np from undm* leaves and wee birds leaning to lly and little frogs and toads hopping; about lie felt as though be were very big.

He felt as though he had so much power and he was glad that be had power and yet that be would never use It to hurt: anything smaller than himself.

Bnt here In the city It seemed as though everything else were so big and as though hu wert so small.

A n d y e t h « quite enjoyed It,

He loved sitting up In bis daddy's office, looking out of the window, seeing the roofs of buildings and tbe tops of build-i n gs a n d the river In the far distance.

He loved seeing tbe sky and the clouds just over the buildings—or at least not so very far away. '

And theo It seemed so particularly wonderful.

One by one and then almost at once all the city lights came out and be looked over the city which seemed like fairyland, so big and with so many offices and buildings and houses und theaters and streets and people.

And up from the crowds, up from the buildings, up from the dazzling lights and the brillinnt signs and the strange, wonderful thrill of It all, still came the city hum—the city which took all the voices and all the sounds to herself and then made them all Into a lovely tittle humming song—all, all her very own.

In the Woods.

Apple Without an Ache Pauline, during her short life, had

evidently had some painful experience with green apples.

She called In the grocery store to buy herself an apple. The grocer had on display two barrels, one of which contained applen, large and green, the other, apples small and red.

She.picked up one of the large green apples and looked'longingly, though rather dubiously at It, then rather re-' luctantly she lifted one of the small, red apples, and advancing to the sales­man said, "Which of these apples ain't the stomach ache kind?"

Tragedy at Football' Uncle Robert took Bobby and bis

chum, Jean, to the high school foot-bull game. At tlie gates he was hailed by a young girl selling chrysanthe­mums and he bought a couple.

"I'll carry these till we get home," he told tlie children, "then you may each have one."

However, being jostled In the crowd, the head' of one of tbe flowers was broken off.

"Oh, Mr. Robert," exclaimed Jean, tragically, '"wait that Bobby's or mine?"

With the Youngtiera "What's an appendix, Tommy?" "An appendix Ii; part of a diction­

ary." " 'Taint, either. It's what my Uncle

Robert bad cut oui*. of him." "Well, I guess maybe he swallowed

bis own words sometime." .

St*:-: 'J

The Jeff Davis County Chamber of Commerce met as a whole in regular monthly session at the court house last Friday night. The chief subject for discussion was the recently much talked of mail route from Fort Davis to Balmorhea.

Such a route, besides tying up the cross country route from Pecos to Presidio," would give this region the Fort Worth and Dallas papers and general mail from the north from 12 to 24 hours sooner.

The towns, of the region are co­operating in petitioning the postmas­ter general for the route, petitions going in, it is understood, from Al-

•pine, Marfa, Balmorhea, Pecos and Ft. Davis.

An area as large as some eastern i states would be affected by such a - route. It would improve the mail

service to tfiis region tremenduously.

"He walked on his toes," said the Mexican. *

Being the Sheriff Lee naturally took these clues immediately, but a glance showed him that "somebody" hadn't made the imprints, but that

; they were the tracks of a good sized bear. . .

Bruin had monkeyed about over the field and. scratched around an old straw, stack, evidently in search of grubs.

Bears are scarcely a novelty here. -Three or^our years' ago State Land CommissiSneg Robinscn, shot one^e-

THE STATE OF TEXAS ) COUNTY Of JEFF DAVIS )

In the District Court of said County, July Term. 1927.

To the Hon. Judge of said Court: Now comes R. D. Gage, who re­

sides in Port Gibson, in the State of Mississippi, hereinafter called the plaintiff, complaining of John"'Z. Means, who resides in Jeff Davis County, Texas, and W. H. Browning, Jr., who at the present time is alleged to reside in Harris County, Texas,

Mondy night a demented man left the train here and created considerable excitement in town before being apprehended by Sheriff Gourley and deputies Miller and Hill. The man was go ing from Georgia to Los Angeles and left the train here, supposed ly to send a telegram, but failed to get on the train again and was not missed by the conductor until the train was some dis­tance out of town. During this time he was sejzed by .the hal­lucination that someone was after him and made a run over the town seeking a place to hide. The first place he visited was the home of Mrs. A. C. Jones who immediately phoned to the officers, from there he ran from place to place seeking someone who would take him in. The of­ficers finally overtook him near the residence of T. A. Beard and lodged him in jail until an agent came and took him to his des­tination. '

came, into'the southwest. While hp' details have yet been worked, out the plahisto erect a gigantic" dam on the river, and build great electric plantH - which; will siip-; ply power, and [light to the towns all through this region. This Js a go 1 den dream,vof startling proportions, Jjiet it ; is ; .entirely practicable' and;far (mbfe likely of being successfully• accomplish­ed than the big proj ects on the Colorado, River, where the fight­ing of three states for the writer prevent any of. them v from get­ting the benefit^?;- H \3 r

More than twenty years ago a young fellow'stood on the banks of the Pecos far u p in New Mexi­co as the flood waters from the nearby mountains were carrying away the timbers of a wrecked Santa Fe Railroad 'bridge and predicted that some;day in the future that stream would be made to propel electric cars from town to town, to turn the wheels of commerce,.light the houses and cook the meals of a thick population from 'those, same mountains to the valley of the Rio Grande. May it not be that the prediction of that poor ig­norant railroad man is nearer to

think? While the great river is not

much good for anything else ex­cept stock water, it is designed by nature for the production of power. From its head among the snow-capped hills to its mouth on the Rio Grande it flows neaiv ly all the way between high rocky bluffs which form a deep narrow canon making the erec­tion of a dam for power purposes comparatively easy after cheap. No. other stream we! have ever known is so completely walled in for practically its entire len­gth as is the Pecos. While the one enterprise now being pro­jected would only utilize a small portion of the possible produc­tion, but it would be a starter and the rapid fall of the river will permit, the erection of such dams comparatively near each other while the combined capa­city would conserve enough of flood waters to furnish a flow to all, over long periods of drouth.

1 Sundiy was thc town of Nevada. ;" Caught in the path of a terrific

twisting wind, the village .of 800 was . crashed like an eggshell early Mon-' day, iind Monday night was seeking a - roof <rverhead ahd coffins for its dead. : . Its-Baptist church, the one brick building which suffered least, was l i morgue where lay, on pine boards ,14 of its 16 dead. Its houses were flat-

: tened to the grohd or. scattered to the four winds. Its business build­ings were wrecks, and beneath fallen

.roofs and collapsed'walls lay more than! 60 of its wounded, who-sought the vrreckage of their homes after re­ceiving emergency treatment. More

..than 20 more seriously injured were taken to Dallas, McKinney and Greenville. Upward of 300 were with out adequate shelter Monday night,

~as all the ablebodied residents work­ed far into the night to relieve suf­fering and bring some order out of

.. chaos. y The wind which came out of the( : night about 2:30 a. m., did its work with vengeful fury. It.notyonly de-

' molished three-fourths of the dwell­ings and -wrecked virtually all the brick business structures, but in one

„ residence section several blocks square ,j it picked up' the frame houses, tore * them- apart plank by plank and scat-- tered the splinters over the landscape
