Do You Look Forward To a

Do you regularly antici

Or do you dread going to
bed, only to stare, sleep
less, at the walls? Tho
difference between sleep
ing and staring is simply
a matter of nerves.
When your nervou9
system is in a sound con
dition, you are certain to
sleep well. . But when
your nerves are worn out
and beyond your control,
your rest is broken and
your awakening leaves
you languid and irritable.

Primitive Water Carts
(Prepared by th Nntlnnal Orographic So
ciety, Washington, D. C.)
No region in nil North America Is
aiore frequently mentioned or more
widely misunderstood, pcihnps, ns ro
gards places, routes, distances, nnd
the customs of the people, than the
Mexican border. The nnmc Itself
brings to mind a blending of modern
Americanism and the romance of tho
old frontiers. It hints nt turmoil and
Intrigue, nt wild night rides by cavalry
ralrols, nt gun-runners nnd smugglers.
It suggests, too, brown-faced, snappy
eyed senorltas In red skirts and man
tlllns, peddling tongue-bllstcrlng tit
mnles nnd mild dukes; of Mexican
women washing clothes, babies and
dishes lu Irrcgulnr ditches; of burros,
hens nnd pigs fornglng about the door
ways of flut-topped, squatty adobe
huts.
In mnny ways the soclnl cleavage of
this border Is shnrp and startling. It
cuts us off abruptly from another peo
ple, showing nn odd, Interesting cross
Fectlon of diverse civilizations.
Nor nre nil the people along this
line either Yankees or Mexicans. Thou
sands of Chinese nre settled there on
the Mexican side; nnd beside them
nre Turks and Jnpnncsc, nnd 20 Indian
tribes speaking 20 of the bubel of
tongues henrd In Mexico.
Thousnnds of settlers migrate to this
I'Orderlnnd ench year, losing them
selves In the vast, hnzy-blue stretches
of Its open country; but they are
Americans nil, mostly from the Mhldlo
West nnd the South. The hordes of
Finns, Slavs nnd Nenpolltansthnt pour
Into our Atlantic ports never get this
far; they stop In the manufacturing
centers of the East. In Texns nnd
California, of course, nntlve-born gen
erations are found; lu the newer states
of Arlzonn and New Mexico most of
the residents (barring children) lmvo
come from other states.
. Rough and Difficult Trip.
Adventurous, colorful nnd full of
contrasts ns It Is, the 1,800-mlle trip
ulong this crooked historic lino Is
inugh and dlfllcult and has been made
by few people.
Some of the wildest nnd least known
regions of our country nre piled up
ngnlnst this border. Ask nny dough
boy, of the mnny, mnny thousands who
have done a "hitch" on the Mexican
border, what he thinks, for Instance,
of AJo or the Vumu sector.
From the gulf up to El Pnso, nlong
the Texas frontier, the Itlo Grando
forms the boundary between tho
United States nnd Mexico; thence to
the Pacific the line Is marked by stone
or Iron monuments (save n short break
xnt the Colorado), so set that one Is
supposed to be visible from the other.
The Itlo Grande part of this border
has caused both Uncle Snm nnd Mex
ico much work nnd mental anguish.
During bnd tloods the line ns formed
by the river squirms around In so ns
tonlshlng nnd lively n manner that
whnt Is Mexican soil one dny mny be
In Texns the next, nnd vice versa.
Then, too, there Is the over-recurring
problem of dividing the waters of the
river for Irrigating purposes. Around
nidi places ns Laredo, Tex., this situ
ation nffords many nn acrimonious In
ernntlonnl argument.
No spot on the wholo border nffords
more of Impressive grandeur thnn the
region nbout the mouth of the Pecos.

El Paso ("The Pass"), great borijci
mart of west Texas, Is set on the
edge of a rich stretch of the Rio
Grande valley. It stands at the point
of Intersection between two old high
ways, the first channels of trafllc estab
lished by white men In America. It Is
the only large city from "San Antone"
to Los Angeles, n ride of l,r00 dry,
dusty miles. It Is well served by both
American and Mexican railways, and
Its merchants buy and sell goods for
hundreds of miles below tho Itlo
Grande. Despite the nrld country
nbout It nnd Its occasional blinding
dust-storms, Its climate Is exception
ally good, owing to high elevation.
The largest Irrigation reservoir any
where Is the grent Elephant Ilutte
dnni, which stores more water than the
world-famous Assuan dam on the Nile.
This big dam, built In the IUo Grande
nbove El Pnso, at n point In New Mex
ico, holds wntcr enough, we are told,
"to cover Massachusetts to a depth of
six Inches."
.Tunrez, El Pnso's sister city across
the Itlo Grande, like most Mexican bor
der towns, Is known chiefly because
of Its pitched battles and Its bizarre
methods of entertnlnlng sporty Ameri
can visitors. A wooden bridge spam

From the point nt Monument No. 1
where the boundary line crawls out of
the Itlo Grande (nt the southeastern
corner of Now Mexico), It strikes west
Into a wilderness of singularly dry
and empty nspect. For 40 miles nlong
this march the traveler must curry
his own wuter. Near Columbus n
few small trees nppenr.
To the west lie the rough, hostile
foothills of the Dog mountains; near
here, In the Snn Luis range, the lino
leaches n point 0,000 feet above the
sea, marking the continental divide.
Through San Luis puss runs the old
emigrant' trail.
Slightly west of the one hundred and
eighth meridian the lino turns at right
angles and runs south for u few miles,
thence west ngnln.
In the Snn Bernardino valley the
lino strikes the first running water
after quitting the Itlo Grando 101
miles to the cast. In the whole 700.
mile stretch from the Rio Grande to
the Pncltlc this line crosses only five
permnncnt running streams, and th
average rainfall throughout Its length
Is only eight Inches, Save the ham
lets of Columbus and Hnchlta, the
New Mexico section of the border Is
almost uninhabited.
Hurdling this line In pursuit of Go
ronlmo nnd his Apaches was for years
a fovorlto outdoor army sport In these
parts; but nowadays most ambitious
residents arc mining copper, roping
nnd branding cattle or fussing with Ir
rigation ditches.
Not long ngo coyotes were chnslng
horned toads over an empty desert
where Dougks, Ariz., now stnnds, with

"Blstee In a Canyon.
West of Douglas, eight miles north
of Nnco, on the line, nnd quite hidden
In the barren Mule mountains, lies the
quaint upside-down, busy, hustling Ills
bee. Its main street runs up a deep
canyon, mnny of its houses clinging
llko pigeon cotes to steep hillsides.
Of our whole border, the California
section Is perhaps best known to
Americans because of denser popula
tion, excellent motor trails nnd prox
imity to cities like Snn Diego, Los An
geles, El Centro and tho bclow-the-sea
border town of Calcxlco, opposite Mex
ican. The Incredibly fertile Imperial
valley of California sweeps north from
Cnloxlco to tho Salton sea, more thnq

From Calcxlco tho line runs west

(famous for races nnd gambling ca
