Ralph Cameron, vice president of
the company. left Friday for Detroit.
where he will visit several parties who
have offered to finance the Medical
Arts Building Company's project. Ar
rangemen:s have already been made for
the 100000 loan.
An attractive feature OF this new
building will be a tower in which will
be large clock facing Alamo Plaza,
West and East Houston streets. An
other special feature will be the rec
reation rooms on the twelfth story.
Here the doctors will have club rooms,
an auditorium. dressing room, loung-
ing room, museum and library.
The building site on which this
building will be constructed is valued
at S2J0,000 as it stands today. 1t
probably is one Of the most suitable
sites in San Antonio that could have
been picked by the Medical Arts Build
ing Company for the construction of
this fine building. The site is not far
from the famous Alamo and is right in
the heart of San Antonio's business
district.
Officers composing the company are
Clifton George, president; Ralph
Cameron, vice president, and Clarence
Garrett, secretary-treasurer. Direc-
tors are: George c. Saur, G. V. Nave
rick, William Pardue Jr., Ralph Cam
eron and Clifton George. chairman.

upon," says Mr.. Barrett, "for its flat
iron shape makes it possible to have
many more outside suites OF rooms
than would be the case were the build
ing any other shape. Rents are there
fore likely to be somewhat higher than
in many other San Antonio office
buildings of modern construction. But
perhaps the most important feature OF
the whole project is the fact that al
ready. tentative applications have been
received for more than one-half of the
total space in the building. and when
il is completed. We should have n full
income from the very start, and. II
the demand continues as we except 1t
to. we should not have to allow even
$4,000 for vacancies.
AS is the case with any business
project, the question of management
is a most important one. Regardless
of the merits of n proposition itself. it
is imperative that the enterprise be in
the hands of men capable of putting 1t
over successfully. That is certainly
true in this instance. Connected with

of the biggest business men in the city
of San Antonio, or in the entire south

When Frank p. earle, San Anton
ian, drilled three oil wells on his small.
tract of land between the Culebra and
the Castroville roads near -e Potran-
co road, he found soft shale at a
depth of about 200 feet which had a
peculiar odor. An examination by
biologists and chemists disclosed that
the shale contained Ichthytol. TIL
oil wells were abandoned, although
Mr.. earle reports that he encountered
a good oil showing. A shaft is being
sunk for the purpose of mining ne
valuable Ichthyol. Ichthyol is used
for medical purposes and heretofore
has been shipped in to the United
States from foreign countries.
In addition to Ichthyol, it is be
lieved that other valuable strctas will
be found before the stratum of 1ch-
thyol is encountered at 200 feet.
When drilling the oil wells Mr.. Car'e
says he encountered hard rock JUS
before finding an oil stratum, thai
proved to be red granite. A fine pol-
ishing stone es well &c mica, iron ore,
traces Of silver and showings of god
are said to have been found near the
shaft.

This Is a type of bungalow which Is
the outgrowth of typical American re-
quirements, and suggests itself par
ticularly for those localities where the

A word as to the outer finish Of this

served that shingles have been used.
Drop siding or ship lap could be used
to good purpose, and staining would
give a pleasing exterior, in combina-
ton with the white-painted trim.
Inside. a plain papered, painted Or
calsomined wall would be preferable
for the living room. The small win
dows shown in the illustration merely
represented the personal likes Of the
owner of this house. 1t would be more

velours Grapes at the windows, one
could have a room which would be a
really comfortable place to rest in.
The same decorative treatment carried
through the house, with a variation in
the wall tlntlng of each room, would
make il a neveT-ending source of pleas

skeleton of the house is perfectly sound
and capable of offering a h%abltation
for many years, and, as a matter of
fact, in many old structures we find
materials and workmanship not dupli.
Gated in later-built houses. BY judi
cious and intelligent remodeling, the
old house a be brought to conform
with the most modern ideals in APP
pearance and style.
The for retaining the old
house, while changing and mOderniz-
ing its outward appearance, lie in the
use of portland cement stucco. In its
essentials, remOdeling with portland
cement stucco merely means the over
coating of the old house with q layer
of durable, fire-resistive and attractive
portland cement stuccO. At the same
time, all ~eXtraneOus and unnecessary
Ornamentation can be eliminated.
In the case of a wooden house, the
walls, if in good condition, are not
changed in any way that Is, the clap
boards or shingles are left in place, a
layer of metal Hath stapled over them,
and the stucco applied directly on the
lath. Thus we are not changing the
structure, but rather only adding an
additional thickness, an "overcoat"
that keeps the interior warm and less
ems heating cost.
In some cases the trim around win
dOws and doors must be added to bring
them out to the new finish line Of the
Stucco. When clapboard or shingles are
in poor condition they are removed and
the metal hath and stucco applied over
the sheathing boards.
1t must not be thought that stucco
can be employed only for remodeling
frame houses. since one of Its most
important uses is the o~vercoatlng and
~remodeling Of old brick and stone
houses. In houses built Of these ma
terials the walls. If in proper condL
ton, may receive the stucco directly
without the use Of metal lath, that is,
the stucco Is piastered directly on the
surface, and because Of the nature of
the stucco, II binds to the old wall sur
face and becomes practically a part
of It.
Many of the old brownstone or sand
stone houses are remodeled in this
way. Not only does the stucco pro.
tect the soft natural stone, which may
show signs Of disintegration, but the
whole appearance Of the house is mod
ernlzed.
The building, when remodeled with
stucco, gains a distinctiveness and in
~dividuallty which sets II apart from Its
n%eighbors, and these new qualities are
bound to increase Its renting or selling
value
In the remodeled house exactly the
same texture finishes and wide variety
of colors may be obtained as In new
stucco work-in fact. to all outward
appearance. Ii the remodeling Is skill
fully done, the house becomes a new
one to such an extent that ever the
most expert eye cannot detect that an
old house exists under the new surface.
