SELLS FOR $4,000
Property on Navarro and Crakett
Streets Sold by Gross Estate.

The property on the corner of
Crockett and Navarro streets has been
sold by the estate of Hulda Gross TO
Whitmore Morris and j. Locke for
$4,000, according TO William f..
Schultz. real estate man who made
the deal. The building, which is To-
Gated on the property, is occupied by
the Hugo Grote Automobile company
at present. Improvements TO the ex-
tent of $4,000 will be made on the
property.
The new owners will start improve
ments in the near future 1t was said
that the building will be remodeled
and that when finished will have ade-
quate spas, for five stores.
In 1867, the property. facing Ma
varro street and extending from Com
merce street TO the river. was bought
by Frederick Gross for $1120. At that
time, Navarro street was known as
Gross alley and went under that name
for a number of years. Numerous
improvements were made on the street
and several years ago it became Ma
varro street.
According to Franz Gross. the prop
erty has been sold because the estate
of Hulda Gross is being divided among
the heirs.

hi investors OF the country esch

year.
~Fake stock promoters resort to al
kinds of methods in disposing of then
stock. In recent years, some pro-
moters have published their own news
papers and magazines for the purpose
Of building sucker lists.
Persons with small sums of money
to invest should, by all means, in-
vestigate investment propositions be-
fore putting any of their savings
into them. 1t should first be deter
mined whether the officers are re-
liable; then, il the company actually
owns the production and leases which
it claims. Some oil promoters in the
past have said in their literature that
they, owned vast leases in the heart
Of producing fields, when investigation
showed that only a small portion of
their vast leases was located in prov
en- territory"
The National Vigilance Committee
of the Associated Advertising Clubs is
cooperating with the Better Business
Bureau organization in an effort to
curb the activities of the fake stock
promoter, Mr.. Tompkins said. Their
efforts, he declared, have resulted in
the exposure of numerous fake pro-
motion schemes and the saving Of I'M
told money to the small investors of
the country. The bureau, he added,
does not seek to dictate TO people how
they shall invest their money, but
stands ready TO give any advice that
may helm them in investing with the
greatest degree of safety.

TO PROHIBIT PARKING
OF CARS IN FRONT OF
SCHOOLS DURING DAY
Ordinance Is Passed by
City Council Monday
Afternoon.

Parking of automobiles in front OF
/ Sau Antonio's two high schools. Main
Avenue and Breckenridge is prohibited
under the provisions of an ordinance
adopted by the city council Monday
afternoon. The ordinance was intro
duced by Commissioner Phil Wright
at the instigation- Of the Students
Council of Main Avenue High School
and is for the purpose of preventing
parking parties" during school hours.
The ordinance becomes effective al
once.
Commissioner John p. Pfeiffer, pre-
siding as mayor pro TEN in the alb
/ ence of the mayor expressed the opin-
ion that the ordinance will fail TO have
the desired effect.
Il do not think it will have the eff
| feet of stopping the parking parties
the mayor pro TEN said. "They will
only remove their cars a block away
from the school and that will make it
more dangerous. The teachers at these
schools certainly ought to control their
pupils and it is sad commentary that
they have to come to this council for
assistance
Commissioner Phil Wright explain
ed that the pupils are not allowed TO
leave the grounds and that if the
cars are not parked directly in front
of the schools, the pupils will not at
tempt to use them. The ordinance is
effective between the hours of s a. m.
and 4 p. m. on school days only. Ii
applies to the west side of Garden
street directly in front of the Brack-
enridge High School and on Romano
street and the west side of Main
avenue at the Main Avenue High
School.

BARELY MISSES DEATH
Dropping OF Emergency Basket on
Street Car Saves Boys Life.

The life of Valentino Ochoa, g.
year-old school boy, was saved only
by the timely dropping of the emer-
gency basket on the front of street
car No. 3S2, when the child was
knocked down and fell beneath the
car, at 5 20 Monday afternoon.
Mrs. F. Flore-. PIG Kings highway,
in front of whose home the near
fatal accident occurred, dragged the
unconscious form of the boy from his
perilous position.
Rushed to a local hospital, the
Ochoa boys scalp near the forehead
was found to have been badly torn
and thrown bac. exposing large
section of the skull. His right shout
der was broken and his left leg frac-
tured near the knee. -.
According TO information obtained
by the police, the boy was running
rapidly across the street, pursued by
another boy. Both we're engaged in
play. The Ochos boy is said to have
run directly in front Of the rapidly
moving car.

 Our hearts bleed for his wife, who in her writ with us, endeared herself, for all time, to Alaskans.
 It is bitterly hard, at such time, to become reconciled to the Great Plan of the Universe that calls for the snatch ing from our midst, of one so human, so modest, so kindly and, withal, so cap ble and So sorely needed as Warren G. H arding, our beloved president.
