Bring Your Soldier's Photo
To The Herald To Be Saved
HEBOES are being made every day in France. It is right that their pic-
tures should be preserved. Some may never come back; even if they go
through it ail and get home safely there is no harm in preserving their pic-
tures as they looked when they went away.
With the idea of preserving a photographic record of every El Paso
soldier who has gone to war The El Paso Herald will undertake to collect
and care for all photographs left at this office. A cabinet has been pre-
pared to be kept in a fireproof vault. The Herald would be glad if every
family having a member in the army would send his photograph to this
office to be preserved in these records. Plain black and white prints are
preferred.
It is the plan of The Herald not only to preserve these pictures but to
print as many of them as possible from day to day and to have the pictures
on hand in event of the death of any EI Pasoan. or of his citation for
bravery.
The pictures wilt be preserved for the community; that is the main
object of gathering the collection but The Herald hopes to be able to print
hundreds of these pictures as its small tribute to the men who are offering
their lives for their country. Bring the pictures in immediately.

Often Mines Swept Ashore'
and Careless People I
Are Killed.
By CLAIR PKICB.
London Eng- July 20. Eighty per-
cent of Britain's mine sweepers are
engaged in keeping the' route for
coastwise merchant traffic clean of
mines.
In the North Sea where a large pro-
portion of Britain's sweepers work
the wlllter nights are usually about 14
hours long and the winds which
sweep the North Sea are subject to
change without notice. Frequently it
will be necessary for the skipper to
take the bridge in the middle of the
night to combat a sudden gale which
has swept down upon him. The vessels
have to separate to avoid the danger
of a collision and by dawn they are
scattered over a good deal of the
North Sea.
1'nJ Water Rxnlsalons.
All the sweepers crews will tell you i
that their sole envy is ine cutter in is
is the little craft which blows up
wrecks st the bottom of the war
channel. The cutter's crew are all ex-
pert divers and when the cutter has
been run ont to where a mined ship
has gone to the bottom the divers
are sent down with dynamite to blow
up the ship and thus keep the chan-
nel clear.
This is a ticklish job. for which
the sweepers are especially grateful
for If there is any exigency which
sweeper crews swear over more than
any other it Is when their sweep wire
parts on a wreck at the bottom of the
war channeL
Blerflnir Up a Wreck.
It Is impossible to sweep around a
wreck for any way you try to work it
your sweep wire will catch and part
Bnt the cutter takes prompt care of
wrecks In the channel laying its
charge of dynamite carefully around
it and then withdrawing and push-
ing a firing button. The water bulges
upon the surface in a curiously silent
manner as the charges go off; but the
bottom of the sea carries the sound so
well that although It Is practically
inaudible on the surface. It conveys
the Impression to Inhabitants on the
shore that heavy firing is going on
somewhere out to sea. This complete-
ly finishes the wreck however and
after one blow up the sweep wire
passes over the spot as though there
had never been a wreck there.
Anether Han Crime!
But the particular reason which ex-
cites the envy of the mine sweepers
for the cutter is that the concussion
of the cutter's dynamite kills endless
quantities of fish. Just as the old Jug-and-llme
trick used to do In the Wis-
consin lakes before Wisconsin de-
clared It Illegal. And all the cutter
has to do is to steam back where
the wreck was. and scoop them up off
the surface. Then It goes back to' the
station from which It set out with dy-
namite an hour before laden down
with fresh fish. And on the sweepers
although occasionally they do a little
fishing they actually buy fish at the
base very often! Imagine a lot of
fishermen aboard a fishing trawler
buying fish!
Playing Whs Fire.
A good many mmea which have
broken adrift from their moorings
after a gale over the North Sea. wash
inshore and. after rolling around la
the shallows finally go off. unfor-
tunately killing sobs of the local in
hlbltanta who gather to watch the
frightful globes. It seems incredible

patterns of pure Wool material at the Pre-War Price of
$32.50

The reason for this sale is twofold:
FIRST: We want to show our appreciation to our patrons for
their business.
SECOND: This is our dull season and we must keep our
tailors busy.
This SALE is also an inducement to new patrons to become
acquainted with FISCHBEIN'S fine Tailoring Seroke.
This is your last opportunity to purchase PURE WOOL
TAILOR-MADE CLOTHING at PRE-War Prices and the
wise buyer who believes in real economy will come here early Mon-
day and select a suit.
Makers of Ready-Made Clothing have heretofore pointed out
the advantage in prices of their clothing over Made-to-Measure
Clothing.
Now you can buy a FISCHBEIN MADE-TO-MEASURE
SUIT cheaper than you can a Ready-Made not considering
the many advantages of the Tailored Suit.
Our reliability is Well kpown and when We make an unusual
offer such as this you can be assured you are getting a genuine bar-
gain. A 11 suits during this SA LE will of course be made in our own
shops and you get the same high-grade Workmanship and pure wool
material that you Would if you Were paying our regular price.
We only have a limited number patterns and we
advise you to come early and make your selection.
