 BEAUTIFY CITIES
They Believe That Beautiful EnviOn- ments Make Better Men
 and Women

San Antonio, Tex, August 3.-(Special) Civic improvement is running at high tide in Texas, almost every city and town having awakened to the advantages of beautiful surroundings as a commercial factor.

 They take the position that the chil- dren are the best things reared in Texas, and that those who grow to manhood and womanhood where the surroundings are beautiful will make better men and wom- en. other things being equal, than those who have been accustomed to filthy streets and a general happy lucky ap- pearance of the town in which they were reared. In almost every town women's clubs-aud these are a powerful factor in both civic and social life of the Lone Star state-are taking an active interest in the movement for civic beauty. In fact, no factor in this work is more potent for the progress of the movement than the Women's clubs of Texas.
