Olympic Team Looks
Good Enough For
Uncle Sam

The United States seems
pretty well off as far as the
Olympic games of 1924 are con-
cerned. The athletes already
have a ship to take them over
and back, they viii have a hotel
of their own in Paris to live in,
and the recent college meets
East and West have shown that
the educational institutions have
more promising athletes than
ever before.
There is every reason TO be-
lieve that the athletes who have
shown such surprisingly good
form this spring will be even
better next year when the time
comes to go abroad. America
will have strength in events in
which it has been weak in the
past. Javelin throwing has been
developed on this side during
the past season or two, and so
has the discus throw. Athletes
everywhere have been giving
more attention to the distance
runs, a branch Of sport which
had been neglected here.

these big successes, the leading
teams in the senior class were

They counted on meeting Pet.

THE EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM


To the Editor:
Isn't there some one in San Antonio
who can solve the unemployed Ques-
ton? Cooperation among merchants
to the effect of giving men preference
over women. Women whose husbands
are at work should not be employed,
girls having good homes, should stay
at home assisting their mothers with
household duties. Mothers should not
permit their daughters to go out to
work simply to buy fineries. Cigar
stands should employ young men, most
appropriate. / say, shame on the mer-
chant who employs women instead Of
men. How many war veterans, men
of families are today without EN-.
ployment? Is there any wonder Of the
awful crimes that are enacted daily
ldleness is the mother of vice. | know
of several cases where a war veteran
returned to his former employer seek
ing employment, was told there was
nothing for him, or we can give you
work at lower salary than pre-
viously. Let each business house
make ruling to help the unem-
ployed men. whenever possible, at
least give them n chance.
Let us see the men get work.
Everybody help. MRS. J..

of the people wanted, they Should
have; whether they found it best for
themselves or not, THAT is just, the
majority should rule" How about our
street markers? Over 5000 citizens
Of San Antonio endorsed in writing
the contract between the city and the
San Antonio Metal Sign Co., whereby
the company should mark the streets
and have the privilege of pleCing the

Do realize that these SO counties comprising
third the Texas and 400 of the population in
