U. S. BOUNDARY MOVED 2
BLOCKS TO OBLIGE KIDS
Nogales, Ariz., December 25.—The
law’s the law and all that but just
as justice sometimes peeps over her
blindfold so does Uncle Sam occasion-
ally clear his throat and look the other
way.
Christmas is one of he occasions
when he relaxes a bit along the Mex-
ican border at this point. Knowing
this an army of several thousand
Mexicans, mostly children, were look-
j ing forward Tuesday to pushing the
boundary line two blocks northward
on Christmas Day for a celebration.
Each year the business men and
wealthier residents of Nogales, Ariz.,
and Nogales, Mexico, provide a huge
Christmas tree for the poor of both
■ cities. Santa Claus distributes toys,
j food and clothing around the tree. The
| tree is located at the best available
; point, two blocks north of the bound-
ary line. In order to avoid red tape
and delay and hence disappointment
to many, the immigration authorities
back up two blocks and consider their
new station! the line for that day.
There’s no difference in kids, any-
how, they argue.

ABOLISHED IN MEXICO

relinquishment of the policy of pro-

throughout the country he believes
it will be possible to make a large
economy by omitting the military
escorts and releasing a large number
of soldiers for other work. Armored
cars and trains were abandoned last
summer, but two squads of soldiers
continued to ride in thecoaches.

CHARITY HOTEL IN LITTLE DAMAGE IS
BUFFALO CLOSES DOORS , DONE IN VALLE Yr
Buffalo, New York, December 26.—
Hotel De Gink, a holstery for home-
less men, which had become known
throughout the greater part of the
country, closed its doors yesterday
after serving Christmas dinner to
more than 1,000 outcasts. ^
The institution has been sponsored
by Mayor Frank X. Schwab, who will
relinquish his office January” 1st. Its
work will be taken over by various
city and social agencies.
Complaint was made from some
sources that the De Gink attracted
thousands of undesirables to Buffalo,
where the holstery provided free
board and lodging. The real reason
for the closing, however, was said to
be lack of funds with which to carry
on the work.
