FROM MEXICO
CARED FOR
i
, EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—With sympathy and
understanding as its masonry, an in
tangible international bridge is being
constructed here by Mrs. Georgia B.
Burlingham, wife of Lloyd Burling
ham, American consul at Salina Cruz,
\ Mexico.
Mrs. Burlingham is the director of
the hospitality house that is main
tained on the American side of the
Rio Grande by the national board of
the Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciation. This institution hel^s the
new immigrants into the United
States from Mexico—especially the
women and children—by taking care
M of their bank checks, furnishing them
with lists of reliable boarding houses
and providing them with a place to
rest in while their passports are be
ing arranged for.
Effort has been made to interest
Mexican officials in Juarez to co
operate with the American authorities
in taking care of the new arrivals
here. It is reported that of all the
Juarez officials that have been ap
proached so far, none has refused to
aid in the work. The underlying plan
*is to bring the two countries to a
closer understanding.
At the hospitality nouses tnere are
sewing machines where neighbors may
drop in and sew, and twice-a-week sew
ing classes are conducted by volun
teer teachers. Classes in English are
also held two afternoons a week for
women and girls who live in the
Neighborhood. A piano and a phono
graph are part of the equipment. Re
quests for “jazz” music are seldom re
ceived, but grand opera is a favorite.
The hospitality house, it is said,
aims to be a “laboratory of American
ization.”
AUTOMOBILES TAKING
PLACE OF RAILROADS
IN SOUTHERN STATES
9
EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Six thousand automo
biles, trucks and trailers, worth more
Athan six million dollars, are supple
menting the railroads in development
of commerce in the Southwest out of
El Paso. A radius of five hundred
nines covers the commercial activities
carried on from the border city into
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and old
Mexico.
Indicative of the extent of the au
tomobile business here are figures
showing $4,000,000 spent for am ot 10
biles in the past year; $2,750,000 .'or
gasoline and $500,000 for Jires.
RECORD CROP OF CORN
DURING PAST SEASON
JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The corn crop in the
state of Chihuahua during 1919
sSfcgunted to 1,986,000 bushels ,as
compared to 1,027,000 bushels in 1918,
and 1,828,000 in 1907. The state statis
tician reports that these figures are
probably 20 per cent below the actual
crop, and that this year’s yield, in
spite of many difficulties, is larger
than the pre-revolution crop.
OPEN GAMBLING NOW
0 PERMITTED IN MEXICO
JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Since gambling was
resumed in Juarez several weeks ago,
under an arrangement by which the
owners of concessions pay $72,000 for
the privilege of operatipg for six
months, the tax of 25 cents which was
collected on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande on all automobiles pass
in* the international bridge has been
removed. The tax is still collected
from the American side.
BONDED WAREHOUSE
PLANNED FOR JAUREZ
JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Efforts are being
made by the Juarez Chamber of Com
merce to provide a bonded warehouse
for the accommodation of American
s^ud Mexican shippers. A large brick
building has already been selected for
the purpose.
The advantage of such a warehouse
is that shippers can send large quanti
ties of goods from the United States
into Juarez without having to pay th<
duty all at one' time. They can leav<
the goods there until they are sold
at which time only it will be neces
sary to pay the imposts that may b<
due.

| The Help You Want on Washday \
s 5 :*:•
| | While lifting boilers, struggling with tubs and straining over I jg
jlj* | the scrubboard on washdays, haven’t you often yearned for | jg
| I relief—some economical and convenient means of having | jg
ig | your family washing done ? I g:
•g » I gj
jg | Our Family Laundry Service will appeal to you if you have. I ig
v*- • 9 .5 <<
It is something different from
j the usual laundry service—
and its cost is very moderate.
When our driver brings us
your family bundle, we wash
|j everything, using from nine to
twelve changes of pure, soft
water and suds of mild white
soap. We dry the clothes
without wringing or flapping
on the iine—a spin in our
magic basket and a few min
utes in a gentle breeze of
warm, clean air, does it.
Then we iron the flat pieces,
like the bed clothes and table
linens. Such other pieces as
require it, we starch.
Finally, we wrap them all in
a package and deliver them to
you immaculate—leaving only
a small amount of the ironing
for you to do yourself
Could anything be simpler?
All of the heaviest and most
unpleasant work of washday
is done by us. Only the light
est duties are left to you.
You will be pleasantly sur
prised, too, at the reasonable
ness of the cost.
But more important still, you
will find immense relief in
having no smelly Mondays to
live tnrough, no irksome labor
over the scrubboard and no
weekly troubles with clothes
lines and soot.
If you will telephone, write or
visit us, we will be glad to tell
you more about this service.
Or better, leave us your ad
dress and we will have our
driver call at once for your
family bundle.
