BIG SHOPS FOR
MEXICAN LINES
ON THE BORDER
Will Employ 500 American
Machinists and Nearly
Thousand Helpers
(itv Tbe Asmtfiatf'tl l’r«**si
El. PASO Tex.. Jan. 13.—Plans
for the inauguration of a large re-
pair shop at some point on the bor-
der. to put into condition the hun-
dreds of disabled Mexican locomo-
tives are being pushed by Ramon P-
de Negri director general of Mexican
railroads according to his announce-
ment here. He says the pans are
annost complete.
The shops would employ 500
American machinists to do the skill-
ed labor and from 500 to 1000 help-
ers and common laborers at a con-
servative estimate.
American niai hinists would be
furnished by the International Assso-
riatipn of Machinists and would re-
side on the American side of the
border.
J. W. Kelly international repre-
sentative of the machinists who has
just returned from Mexico City is
a close friend of Mr. de Negri and
has had several conferences with
him regarding the shops he said.
Juarez is looked upon as the most
favorable point for the shops on ac-
count of climatic conditions and
railroad faci’ities through El Paso.
The aveiage monthly payroll for
500 machinists and helpers at their
present scale would be almost $100-
000 a month officials said.
Mr. Kelly organized five Mexican
locals of machinists with a total
membership of 4000 he said. Three-
other locals now are being formed.
President Obregon and Mr. do
Negri are members of the- Interna-
tional Association of Machinists
and the president is a practical ma-
chinist Mr. Kelly said.

SAN ANTONIO GETTING
ITS GASOLINE CHEAPER
THAN ALL OTHER CITIES
(Itjr The Associated I'ross)
SAN ANTONO. Texas Jan. 13-
Ciasoline is selling for less money
in San Antonio at service stoti >n.?
that elsewhere in the United
States except Dallas Bartlesville
Okla. and Kansas City and front
tank wagons the price is less than
at any other i oint except Dallas i
according to oil men here. Crude
oil prices at the same time are on
a level with other markets which I
causes some complaint on the part
of refiners who say the crude should
go down or the gasoline up.
The tank wagon price on gasoline
in San Antorio is quoted at 17
cents per gallon and the price in |
Dallas is 1"* cents. A f'most place?
in the United States the tank wagon
price runs fro rt 20 cents a gallon
to 2fi cents in Connecticut. Th«
service station price in San Antonio
is 19.5 cents Dallas IK cents; Wi-
chita. Kansas. 20 cents and else-
where in the United States from 21
cents up mostly around 23 and 21
centr.
Crude oil prices still are running
at around $2.25 per barrel al* i
1 hough it is understood that one re-
finery has began paving a price bas-
ed on analv: is of the oil. from $1.-

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND LOOSENS TEETH
Very Next Dose oT Treacherous
Drug May Start Terrible
Salvation
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calo-
mel is dangerous. It crashes into
sour bile like dynamite cramping
and sickening you. Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be put in-
to the system.
If you feel bilious headachy con-
stipated and all knocked out just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substl
tutc for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn’t start you!
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without mak ng you sick you just
go back and get your money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not
be trusted any more than a leopard
or a wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver
Tone which straightens you right up
and makes you feel fine. No salts
necessary. Give it to th? children
because it is perfectly harmless and
cannot sa ivate.—Adv.
