Confederate Veteran. ISLETA, N. M., FOUNDED IN 1540 iEL PASO, Jan. 2#.—iYsleta, Tex. and Isleta, N. M. are two different towns, but their history has been con fused for perhaps a century. Now and then someone makes the claim that Ysleta, Texas, is older by about 25 years than San Augustine, Fla., .said to be the oldest town in the United States; Yet in reality it is Isleta, N. M., if either, which is older than San Augustine, modern his torians say. itecoras nave Deen round which credit Coronado with establishing a town in 1540 named Isleta or Y» leta. Some historians in their re search tried to establish the identi ty of that town 12 miles from K Paso, known as Ysleta. Now, how ever, it is well established that Cor onado was not close to El Pasio, and that the nearest he got to this city was about 12 miles south of Albu querque, N. M., The same distance from Albuqucr que as Ysleta, which Is the one pro^ bably referred to by Coronado, ac cording to Mrs. J. M. Frank, teacher of history at the El Paso high school Isleta, or Ysleta, as the name of an Indian tribe, does not appear in history, until as late as 1840, so it is presumed that the Indians were named for the towns rather than the towns for the Indians. History tells of trouble between, the Tigua Indians and Spaniards a round Albuquerque, and in Isleta, and of other, trouble there, and of Indians fleeing from Isleta to the country near El Paso. The Indians driven out, it is believed, established the present Ysleta elose to El Paso. This was In 1880, At that time it was called Isleta del Bur, Isleta of the south. In recent years, Isleta, del sur has been changed Ysleta and Isleta has retained Its ancient speling. The difference In spelling has not been accounted for. Virginia good .

While war department authorities frankly admit the problem of the family Mr. A. A. 0. acquired while pleasantly sojourned in Rhineland joint arrangements have been made so it is believed that the ‘'Frau” and “Kinder” will have every reason to realize “Amerika” as the land of milk, honey and human sympathy pictured them by the irrepressible head of the family. Two of the debarkation points fall within the Southern Division— Charleston, S. C. and Savannah, Go. being the ports designated along with New York ,at which all depend ents will be unloaded. Soth of these representative Southern cities have active , wide-awake Red Cross chap ters and preparations have already been made to care for those In need of aid. As the government cannot furnish transportation to points in the interior for the dependents the Red Cross has arranged to function in cases where the men are not able to bear the expense personally. Supplementary aid is to be ren dered on a broader scope according cases, including help in securing employment for the discharged men to the necessities of the individual The regular Red Cross service for returning troops will be carried out Letters being sent to every Southern chapter from division headquarters emphasize the fact that the service to returning soldiers, their wives and children is a Red Cross respon sibility and that men discharged af ter arrivel of their families should receive Red Cross service for them selves and their families, under or dinary circumstances, for six months after discharge.

C. Marshall and Lt. C. L. Weber, who disappeared on Decem ber?, while on a cross country flig.’rt : from San Diego to Tuscon, Arizona, | recalls similar plights that have be | fallen other army and navy fliers | and the searches that were madi | for them. While army officials .have long given up hope that the fliers would be found alive, the belief i3 stil faintly adhered to that their bodies and the wreck of their plane may be eventually recovered. However, declare army officers who have flown over that wild part of the country, the chances are slim. Eith er of the two regions in which the officers may have been forced t» land is a desert waste. That section to the east of Tuscon, where a plane believed to have been theirs was last seen, is extremely rocky and moun tainous, Searchers could look for months without coming upon the rav ine in which the wreckage could lie hidden for a long time, they say. The sands of the desert to the west and south of the city are so fine that a slight breeze would be sufficient to cover the wreckage under a dune in a short time. _ PROBABLE EARTHQUAKES ARE NOW LOCATED I By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—While man can never hope to harness the forces of nature to the extent of prieventing, or even foretelling, earthquakes, it is not impossible, says the Carnegie Institution of Washington, that scientists may be able to devise methods of forestall ing their disastrous effects by the selection of safer locations for cit ies and by appropriate methods of construction. Earthquakes have occurred ever sin ce the crust of the globe began to form. Indeed, the condition of un stability is the earth’s normal one and man long has suffered in conse quence, To say then that what man kind has characterized as a phen omenon which is as sure and as in evitable as an eclipse of the sun, might be ended finally seems almost an impossibility. Yet such thorough studies of the nature of quakes and their occurance have been cade in recent years that in future years, construction of great buildings, dams, and even cities, may be af fected by recent discoveries in geo logy. TO SET STYLES FOR MEN (By associated Press) DETROIT, Jan. 27.—Styles for the present year are expected to be set here during the fourteenth an nual meeting of the National Asso ciation of Merchants Tailors, Jan uary 80 to February 2, inclusive. The fashion decree will be contain ed in the report of the fashion com mittee. One of the most important ques tions to come before the convention according to Wilbur W. Stewart oi Philadelphia, association president, is the lack of workers in the cloth ing trade, said Mr. Stewart to have been caused by restrictions on im migration. "It now requires 13 days .to fill an order for a suit of clothes” Mr, Stewart said. ‘This is harmful tt the business and we will seek to find a remedy at the convention.” DANISH FINANCES HAVE RISEN ABOVE ALL OLD RCORDS State Department has become Very expensive business Men Declare MUST GET BACK TO NORMALACY <Bv Associated Pr<->si COPENHAGEN, Jan. 29.—An insight into Danish finances is to be found in a recent speech in the Rigs dag by the chancellor of the exche quer. He says the situation is by nj means enviable, and he calls for im mediate reductions in state expendi tures as preferable to increased tax ation. The. expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1913, According a Danish economist. Ten years ago the annual total in come of Danish citizens amounted to 775,000,000 crowns, of which 82 000,000 or a little more than li per cent were paid to the state in taxes. Denmark now confronts a budget of 550,000,000 crowns, or nearly seven times as much as be fore the war. Between 1914 and 1921 Denmark had a national in come of 12,750,000,000 crowns, of which 2,437, 000,000 or about 20 percent, were paid into the national treasury. Hence it is seen what an expensive luxury the state has be come. “Denmark must strive hard to get back to normalacy in her expen ditures,” a leading Danish business man has said to the correspondent of The Associated Press. It is no good nibbling at the salary of the in dividual official. That merely makes for inefficient public servants, and will only reduce expenditures a few millions. No, it is necessary to scrap whole departments, or at least re duce the number of personel by one fhfrd or one half of the present num ■b’er, Government departments hav in so-called good times, a tendency j newlyappointed official creates work for another one. The result .has been : far too many officials and more ex pensive street car and railroad fares ' gas, electricity, etc., without a cor 1 responding increase in quality of | commodity, or service.” i STALLION STAKES DRAW IMPOSING LIST OF SIRES (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 29.— Thirty-five of the greatest sires in the country have been named in the championship Stallion Stakes ot 1925, number 16, the entries to which closed Dec. 30, according to announcement made here today bv James Clark, assistant secretary of the American Association of Trot ting Horse Breeders. This is three more than were named for the stake last year. The 1922 progeny of these sires are eligible to contest as three year olds in the rich trotting event in 1925. Last season this futurity which is second in importance only to the great Kentucky futurnity, was raced at the North Randall track during the August Grand Cir cuit meeting, its money value being ! more than $11,000 and was won by the unbeaten three year old trot ter, Lee Worthy, 2:03 1-2. The 1925 futurity will have a money value of $14,000, it is estimated. The Matron stake, number 16—a companion event to the champion ship stallion stake—drew 600 nom inations. This stake is for weanlings and foals of 1922, to race as thre* year olds in 1925. Last season the list numbered 560 nominations. The increased entry this year is attri buted to the increasing interest in harness horse racing, especially in futurities. The value of the 1922 Matron stake race was about $7,500 It was raced at Toledo. The tracks for the 1923 stallioi ed ■ about March 15. It is believed and matron stakes will be annour. - North Randall will stage the form er and Toledo the latter event. !*fccr.e your Subscription to Qasetta.
