The International Bridge.
OU can see El I’uso two ways.
You can be a little hysterical,
as I am, over the border-town
thrillingness of things. Or you
an close a cold, canny commercial eye
and get a chamber-of-commeree angle
on Its go-West-young-man opportuni
ties. I never saw a town where they
care so little about dust storms and
so much about industrial chances,
writes Zoe Beckley in the Pittsburgh
1 Mspntch.
My ninth story window is in as hand
some a hotel as ever reared Its elegant
facade from the gilt and marble, Turk
ish rug and hat check belt of New
York city. It has all the modern con
veniences with a few western develop
ments like free newspapers at your
door In the morning.
Now look out southward, past a
rocky mountain almost at your elbow,
into that longish, squat-buihlinged
street where tiie sun shines and the
dust blows. At its end runs a ribbon
of muddy water, too shallow to wet the
ankles of a Chihuahua pup. The Kin
Grande!
Beyond you see a blotch of brown
cubes scattered on tilt- slope of the
grltn and rugged mesa, with the shot
marred, whitewashed Cathedray of
Guadalupe rising feebly in their midst.
Mexico!
The cubes of 'dobe houses, where 1
whole families, including the dog, the
burro, the pig and the flea, live in dirt -
i-h desuetude. Itagged, sans furniture,
building their mesquite wood tires on
the mud floor! Mexico! You are
looking frmn the twentieth century
into the sixteenth, with only a street
and a bridge to join them.
Neat Shops Scare Trade Away.
Now we'll descend and walk toward
that famous though mangy-looking in
ternational bridge where the neat Unit
ed States sentry and the forlorn cot
ton-clad, grubby Uarranzlsta meet face [
to face every 20 seconds at the raid
I’ast the poor 'dobe houses, through
the doors of which you get glimpses
of family life unpleasantly intimate,
we go into the Via Diabolo, called by
Jack London the wickedest slum in
the world.
I cannot vouch for its depravity, but
X should think it must lie the dirtiest,
dustiest, poorest, weirdest, rowdiest,
tawdriest and most tieterogeneous, bar
ring possibly some sinister suburb of
Algeria.
(iuming houses are the staple Sun
day attraction. Sweating crowds of
men and women rim the tables, the lot
tery booths, the wheels of fortune—
and, to judge by most of the patrons,
of misfortune—that fill the burnlike
shacks.
One man in five is gome sort of sol
dier, wearing some sort of fragmentary
uniform.
Poverty and Squalor.
Notice the rakish cartridge belts—
some worn straight around in rows,
some over one shoulder, some over
Imtli crossed back and front. Ammu
nition is debited to the men, and they
have to take care of it! The begrimed
fellows, with the bits of leather
thonged about their bare feet, with
dirty serapes on their shoulders, art
of tlie piteous peon c\uss.
You have seen poyerty and squalor
at home, but never such as this: Tlit
poor at home at least work in the hop#
of overcoming their wretchedness
Xlere all is sodden. No opportunity,
no umbition, no hope at all.

die. Near the bridge the Mexicans
get dirtier, the street dustier, the shops
shabbier.
“We don't fix up the place much,” :
one storekeeper told me. “We'd lose
our Mex trade. They don’t feel com
fortable coming into a fussed-up, flossy
place!”
That wooden Jumble over there to
the left Is the market. Note the Mexi
can women on the ground, shawls to
the eyes (they believe all Illness comes
from something In-breathed; hence the
covered mouths) selling stuff.
The flupjueks they claw from a buck
et and stuff into the palm of the pas
serby are tortillas, Mex bread. They
are not considered shopworn because '
the customer finds them wanting in
, quality, but are casually shipped hack
again into their receptacle.
Apparently the wearing qualities of
I tortillas are excellent. You have seen
! a limp stack of them examined and
I rejected by half a dozen prospective
j purchasers, yet they look scarcely
frayed, and arc still quite salable.
Hear the music? Guitars, tambour
j ines and voices. A group of greaser
lads are playing, half for sheer love
of it, half for the coins the people eat
ing at the long, sloppy tables will
throw them. Lunching and dining at
the market place is the sociable Mexi
can mode.
Baths Their Passports.
There Is a government bathhouse by
the river hank, where certain cere
monies must he performed by the
rebellious citizens of Juarez before
they can commute regularly Into El
Paso as house and hotel servants,
workmen and clerical employees.
Now we cross the bridge. Afoot, the
military authorities and customs men
treat you indifferently. In the trolley
rar the examination is more elaborate.

if in all the world there is to be seen
more wanton cruelty and horror for a
trifling fee tell me where it is! Yet
women and young girls flock there,
bringing dressed-up children us to a

A huge motor dashes up to the beg
garly “plaza” in a choking dustcloud.
It grazes the toes of squatting beggars
and loafing men, sideswlping the un
ruly Mexican horses on which half
drunken “soldiers” loll.
From it step half a dozen Mexican
afticers in expensive, well-fitting serv
ice uniforms, brave leather puttees,
spurs and festoons of braid. The
crowd stares and cringes. The slim
young officer tosses silver dollars to
a subaltern, who buys tickets, and with
great eclat they pass inside to their
hideous entertainment.
You wonder what is in the mind of
the resplendent officer as he views
the ragged, half-starved desperadoes
of his “army.” Some sophisticated
persons whisper to you that few names
