Providing All the

II you should happen. some fine

not have had a drink or two too
much after all.
Ever since the fall Of 1891 the taxi
cabs have been heated by radiators
in the floors. through which heat was
brought from the motor to the in
terror of the car.
Now one enterprisinE company

For the person travelling alone in a
taxicab something to read is desir
able. Sitting there with nothing to
do except watch the clock perform
Its little act gets monotonous after q
while. IL ones nerves are strong
enough to hold out after the first two

There is no excitement in watching
the poor unfortunate pedestrians; one
can see, or even be n of them al
any time. The only other pastlme
with nothing to read, Is to watch the
chauffeur try to knock the tenders
of passing machines or take pot
shots at pedestrians crossing the
street. That is exciting for a while
but as 1t soon becomes evident that
the driver is a VIGOROUSLY poor shot
missing nine targets out OF ten, II
loses interest.
This stunt Of equipping the ma
chimes with newspapers is just a sug
gestion of the many things that mas

ger. About $4,000 worth of machin-
cry is being installed by the company
in the newly acquired building. Weld
ing in all Of its branches and the
manufacture and repair of number
of articles will be featured by the
shop.
The Metal Welding & Manufacture
ing Company is fortunate in acquiring
the services of Mr.. Anstett, manager.
who has been a welder for the last
seventeen years. During the last two
years. he has been chief welder for
the San Antonio Machine Il Supply
Company and prior TO this he has
held positions with prominent shops
in other cities Of Texas.
Nothing but the best grade of weld
ing will be given TO customers, says
Mr.. Anstett. and every job turned out
will be guaranteed indefinitely.
Equipment Costs $4,000.
About four weeks ago the company
acquired the building at 232 Nolan
street. which is considered an excel
lent location. New machinery and
equipment is being installed which
will cost about $4,000. 1t is expected
that by the end of the first six
months the shop will employ from ten
to fifteen skilled workers, and it is
hoped that within another two years a
new building will be constructed by the
company. which doubtless will he

STEAL A HANDBAG
Thieves Take Valuable Papers From
Goliad Man at Depot.

Thieves stole leather handbag,
owned by II. l.. Price, of Goliad, Tex.
said to contain valuable papers, at
IL 40 Friday night. The theft of the
bag was made from an automobile
while the car was parked on West
Commerce street, Just beyond the 3.
A. l.. railway tracks.
Mr.. Price reported the bag contain
ed several papers and documents
valuable only TO him. 1t also con-
tanned a number Of insurance policies,
clothing and a pistol.
Several pairs of shoes and severai
dozen writing tablets were stolen
from a car. owned by l.. J. Edwards
of Pipe Creek late Friday afternoon
while the car was parked near the

much larger with adequate space for
additional machinery. The shop winch
IL being established on Nolan street
probably is one of the most up-to-datc
of its kind in San Antonio as well
as in Texas, says Mr.. Anstett.
The shop is equipped to turn out a
finished job, he says, and this means,
for instance, when a mOtorist brings
in broken fender to be welded, it
does not 90 out of the shop with all
the paint burned off and with dents in
it. A complete machine shop is being
established.
Acetylene generators, oil and pre-
heating apparatus. steel tanks, vulcan
izing and pressing machine boilers,
ammonia tanks. water heaters, will be
manufactured in this shop.
Turn Out Finished Work.
For many years, says Mr.. Anstctt,
San Antonio has been in need of weld
ing shops equipped to turn OUT nm
ished job. In the majority of weld
ing shops. not only in San Antonio
but in other cities, the welder. so far.
has considered his job done when he
sticks the two broken parts togerner
or repairs the hole in the tank, what
ever the case may be. The customer
is then forced to seek machine shop
where he gets his job partly fin
ished by having it smoothed off. in
many cases with an emory wheel. The
next step in the job is finding paint
shop. that is, if the article is a fender
or something of that nature which re-
quires paint.
The new shop at go Nolan street
is equipped to do all these things, says
Mr.. Anstett, which makes it one of the
most modern shops of its kind in
Texas.

tions point to capacity auditorium

Mrs. Ben Milavetz, who is spoons
oring the course stated that she is
greatly pleased with the prospects
for large crowd, and she urges all
who are planning to attend to make
their reservations now. Mrs. Mia

especially have taken advantage of
the opportunity thus afforded.

ternoon he will be the guest of the

a banquet at the Fay hotel. A
large number of range and Duluth

BOOK WEEK TO
BE OBSERVED

Good books mould character just
as surely as surroundings and associ-
ates. The ideals and aspirations
established by the favorite heroes
of childhood are never forgotten in
fluences in later life.
1t is most unfortunate if in any
household books are considered to be
a luxury. Even the families who
have easy access to well-stocked
public libraries and who avail, them
Ives of the opportunity that it Of
fers should not feel that the pur-
chase of books from time to time is
an extravaganza. The purchase of
books of certain type might well
be an extravaganza for anyone; but
in the ownership of a considerable
number of books of the better sort
the contentment of the home may
largely rest. Some of the young
people who regularly forsake the
house in the evening in order to go
to the movies" might stay at home
if there were plenty of books to
read-and books that they could call
their own.
If it is necessary that the pur-
chase of books should be regard d
as luxury to be seldom permitted,
it should be the older members of
the household who should most stint
themselves. Books mean more to
children than to grown-ups; they
are usually more profitable to child
rem than they are to grown-ups; and
the possession of them by the child
will stimulate a desire for reading
and an appreciation of literature far
more than will the temporary loan
of volume from the public library.
Parents are most of them at loss
to know what books to give their
children. Tastes change with gen.
erations; and the failure of child
to appreciate some work that de-
lighted the parent in early youth
is likely to chill the parents interest
in trying to provide books for the
child. Publishers and booksellers
and public libraries are all cooperat-
ing more earnestly and intelligently
than ever before to assist fathers
and mothers who want to get books
for their children, yet who feel be-
wildered in trying to make choice.
A recognition of the Importance of
books for the young as social and
civilizing force is growing among
the dispensers of books; no longer
do they look upon the bust So of
distributing such books as a rather
minor detail of their work.
Next to his personal associates
the books that boy reads probably
exert a greater influence upon him
than any other one factor in his life.
Parents are awakening to this fact,
but their problem is to choose from
the huge mass of boys literature
the volume which the boy will like
best and yet those which will be best
for the boy. To meet this need,
the National Organization of the
Boy Scouts of America has appoint
ed Consulting Book Physician who
has made an exhaustive study
of boys books. From h e
thousands of books carefully re-
viewed, eight hundred have been
chosen. These books have been
grouped under various virtues, such
