(By Associated Press)
EL PASO, Texas, April 12. — El
Paso is the merging point of two re
publics, and the contrasts on the bor
der here are sharp. Mexican news
boys call American newspapers, while
American newsboys sell Spanish pa
pers, and at least one local paper ap
pears in both Spanish and English.
American restaurants make a spe
ialty of Mexican dishes and frequent
ly have Mexican orchestras playing
during meals, Mexican performers,
and serve American food prepared by
Mexican cooks.
The American moving picture the
atres show the captions of the films
both In Spanish and English, while
the theatres catering to Mexican trade
show American films with similar
translations. Ticket sellers must
speak both Spanish and English and
American and Mexican musicians play
side by side in both American and
Mexican theatres.
Political notices are frequently pub
lished in both languages, while poli
tical speeches are often made in Span
ish for the Mexican voters and trans
lated for the American voters present.
American stenographers are required
to take dictation in Spanish and to
translate Spanish documents. Few
American firms doing business on the
border can be without a Spanish in
terpreter, for the Mexican trade.
Mexican policemen guard American
homes and American policemen patrol
in the Mexican portion of the city.

PORKERS SUFFERERS FROM
HIGH GOST LIVING
(By Associated Press)
DENVER, April 12. — Hogs and
pigs are the latest sufferers, due to
the high cost of living. The frugal
housekeeper no longer discards kit
chen and table scraps, which, in the
past were delectable morsels for the
porker. The Hog Growers’ Associa
tion, a corporation which has a con
tract with the city for collecting and
disposing of Denver’s garbage, is hard
put to it to feed its stock.
On the other hand, the municipal
inspection department asserts thal
the city’s alleys never were in a more
sanitary condition. There is nothing
left to become unsanitary.

DU IS REAL
DISCOVERER OF
FULTON
(By United Press)
NEW YORK. April 13. — The re
cent decision of a Wisconsin court,
by which Mike Collins was declared
to have an Interest In the fortunes of
Fred Fulton, Minnesota heavyweight,
should carry a message to Tommy
Dixon, the former bantamweight of
Kansan City.
The claim of Collins that he discov
ered Fulton wasting his young life by
daubing plaster around on walls and
made him a fighter should supply
Dixon with plenty of laughter. Force's
claim, also that he was the original
Columbus so far as Fulton was con
cerned, should add a snicker to the
former scrapper.
Some years ago Dixon got Into a
fuss with Ollie Kirk, or some other
bantam around Missouri, and he fell
out of the ring while the fight was
hot, snapping his arm. He beat it
Into the wilds of Nebraska to recu
erate. While resting there he ran
across a ponderous man of Inches,
who imagined he could develop into
a crusher of white hopes and Dixon
took him In hand to develop him Into
a fighter.
Dixon was a clever boxer and a
smart ring general. He showed the
big man a lot of tricks and finally
matched him for some bouts In Ne
braska, which the heavy man prompt
ly won.
Then Dixon drifted back to civili
zation and began to predict what his
discovery would do to the brigade of
white hopes then extant.
And his name? Merely Fred Ful
ton. He spoke it right out loud, and
It was published broadcast. How it
ever happened that everyone has for
gotten that Fulton had has chance
then at the hands of Dixon, only to get
himself all tangled up through an al
liance with Mike Collins is a matter
requiring deep thought.
Anyway, Dixon should be an inter
ested spectator at the rival claims of
Force and Collins.

MUTUAL LOIN SOCIETIES
IN FRANCE
(By Associated Presn
PARIS, April 13. — To provide
credit on reasonable terms to trades
men and manufacturers of moderate
means whose situation might other
wise be precarious after the war, the
French parliament has authorized the
organization of mutual loan guaranty
societies and mutual banking socle
ties. It is proposed that the two types
of organization shall co-operate in pro
viding credit. Merchants and manu
facturers are to unite in associations
and accumulate a fund to bo deposited
in the mutual banks. Then If a mer
chant desires a loan the guaranty
company will endorse his note, which
he can discount at the mutual bank
If the borrower fails to pay the note
at maturity the mutual guaranty so
ciety must pay It from its collective
fund.
The minister of commerce has been
authorized to advance 12,000,000
francs without interest to enable the
mutual bankH to meet their immediate
needs.
