Sunday and make eloquent prayers
and then will put in all of their time
the other six days of the week trying
to get the best end of deals from
their fellowman. Now, while i do
believe that we have just and a
forgiving Gcd, yet, i cannot believe
that this same God would be so I'M
just as to answer the prayers of
any such people. May God help them
to realize their wrong doings before
it is too late.
Many Of today are too easy to for
get things that they ought not to
forget, for insta-ce, there are some,
no doubt, that have already forgotten
about the influenza. which swept over
many hundred thousands of people
and perhaps there were q lot OF peo-
pie at that time that promised their
God if He would only spare their
lives they would live better life
for Him and try TO be prepared to
meet anything that might be sent
upon them in the future. Many. no
doubt, have forgotten the World War,
which took so many precious lives
and many have forgotten the flood
We had here in San Antonio some
two years ago. which took with it
many lives and there are many. no
doubt, that have already forgotten
the recent disaster that was sent on
Japan, which took with it the lives
Of about 100000 people Now, firm
ly believe that our Creator sends
such things upon the people to show
them his power and to convince them
of the fact that they should at all
times live the kind of life which
would enable them to be ready to
meet anything that might be sent
upon them. May God help each and
everyone to see their wrong doings
and live life pleasing to Him and
not to lay awake half OF the night,
which many are doing these days,
trying to study out some plan by
which they can get the best end of
a deal from their fellowman the next
day. This is not right: we should
help our neishbor instead and if we
will do this and trust in God to help
us. We need not have any fear in
the least as to His not doing so. be-
cause He has promised us He would
and His word is good.

THEY JUST LIVE HERE.

To the Editor:
Its chilly IN here in the hills, but
after reading your editorial in to-
nights "wednesday paper headed
Insulting Americas Guest" 1 thought
l would warm IN a bit and give out
some information on that subject, that
has apparently been overlooked in the
rush of the worlds series and other
events Of moment.
In the first place it's a bit of libel
TO indicate the rioters in the New
York demonstration last week as
FAmericans. Those folk just live in
America. that's all. Americans them
selves have better party manners than
to give their guest the ''razz" when he
steps in the front door. They keep
such things for his departure in case
he makes bore of himself. / noticed
that in another place, however, you
referred to them as pretending TO
represent Americans" Pre-
tending-that's right.
Secondly. that while the demonstra-
ton in itself may have been techni-
cal insult Though it wasn't even n
technical knockout to the great well
GOMEZ and wasn't a nice thing to put
on. if it had been staged by Americans.
hardly think Mr.. Lloyd-George had
any such thoughts as your editorial at
tributed him as possibly having. i

rather think he enjoyed the while thing
and will tell you why.
He has been called willy, and not
without reason. Therefore he is a
rather knowing man and must know
that we Americans are inherent lovers
of fair play and good sportsmanship
and that when some untoward incl
dent, as these demonstrations. occurs.
our spirit of fairplay is outraged and
we become disguised at the perpetra-
tors. Therefore the visitors must rea-
son that the great body of Americans.
who are just now holding rather aloof
from the greatly discounted ..merican-
touring Europeans. will listen to his
words with more sympathy. if they be-
lieve that his Celtic admirers co have
acted in an unbecoming manner. 1t
resolves itself into just another (note
the another) diplomatic error on the
part of the Celtic party in this coun-
try. Maybe he instigated the demon.
STATIONS just to get our symathy y
That is food for thought big British
plot.
Lastly. the banners and their in
scriptions. Especially the one about
booze flooding this country. That was
yet another diplomatic error. for i'm
habitants Of this ''desert" rather would
applaud than condemn anyone who
ships in goodly supply of the forbid
den stuff and there seems to be just
suspicion in some quarters that the
very leaders of the Celt-anti-British
factions are great supporters. directly
or indirectly. of some of the country's
biggest bootlegging. Therefore no use
to try TO stir up Americas on that
score. II they can get Johnnie Walker
or some other of the famous brands ii
would be "down with the British
(liqUor)" all right, but in different
manner from that meant by the demon
stators of Gotham. So all hail to the
paraders and since they injure no
cause but their own. let 'cm rave.

MOVIE TITLE READERS.

To the Editor:
Did you ever 60 to a moving pic
ture and have perfectly good show
spoiled by some person so inconsidcr-
ate of others feelings as TO read the
titles aloud. so loud in fact. that
everyone within a radius Of fifteen
rows could hear them? IL so, you
will agree with me in that:
l. Such people are menace to
public peace and tranquility.
=. Managers of the local theaters
should take such action as will insure
ones being able to sit through pic
ture without being tortured by these
Doors, viz: Flash a slide ON the screen
similar to the following:
THE majority of our patrons are
graduates Of the elementary grades
and can read for themselves. Plea e
don't read the titles aloud. If you
must read aloud confine your efforts
20 the privacy of your home"
A gentle hint of this nature might
stop them. If not. couple Of stron
policemen could throw them out gent.
ly but forcibly.
i believe the percentage Of offend
crs of this kind is very small but II
people to spoil the picture for them.
I've noticed that most Of the ones
who do this sort of thing are women
who read to their children and then
explain every phase of the story. II
they're not old enough to read fol-
themselves leave them at home but for
heavens sake don't read aloud to

caught momentarily on the tail OF the

The wreck, however, proved the quail

to land his ship safely and was unin-

UP by an ambulance. He kew nothing
after striking the tail of the ship. and

after landing.
Sergeant Bottriell said that he made
his first parachute jump % years ago
at Nashville. Tenn, from balloon.
Since that time he estimates that he
has made 500 jumps from balloons and
airplanes. He made his first jump
from an airplane at Kelly Field in

HAD A GOOD TIME.

To the Editor:
After all of us old Confederates have
got back home from the State Reunion
at San Antonio we want TO congratu-
late the good people of your city for
the hospitality they showed us while
We were there. All the veterans ex-
pressed themselves as never having at
tended better reunion in or out of
the state.
Being native born Texan and
having known much of the early his
tory of San Antonio ! knew what the
people Of that grand old city would do
il they got chance to do something
big and they did and did it well during
the reunion. We r'ant to thank every
one that was kind to us, the pro-
prietors of the Bexar Hotel, the cafes.
and especially the ladies. God bless
them. At San Antonio we got the
best accommodations that we have ever
had at n reunion. We had the key to
the city during the daytime and at
night we were beddcd comfortably
without having to use our coats for
pillows as we have had TO do at some
reunions.
We had free transportation all over
the city TO see the sights and we Gid.
There were some sights that made our
old eyes bulge out. Why even some
of the police told us to go and get
drunk aad they would not arrest us.
OF course we knew it was all joke,
more than one way, hus il did sound
good coming from big policeman.
The first place We visited was the
Alamo where some of my relatives
spilled their life blood to save this
old state. the best one in the Union.
The next place we went was Kelly
Field where Uncle Sam has more than
a thousand soldiers. They were all
glad to see us since we were all old
Johnny Rebs. We had lots of fun
with them talking about the change of
firearms since theNold days. We went
out to the field to see Uncle Sans
boys cut some of their expert tricks up
in the air with their airships. They
were all exciting but the best one was
a parachute jump of 5000 feet showing
how a pilot may save his life if his
plane is disabled.
We then went 70 Breckenridge
Park and there we saw the sights. /
want TO say this much before close
and that is il anyone contemplates go

Veteran Parachute Jumper Here
Tells ofFalzing Through Space
Sergt. Ralph W. Bottriell,
Kelly Field Soldier, Says
Jumpers Are Now Racing
to the Ground Has Made
500 Descents in Last q
Years.

Even parachute jumpers refuse to be
left out of the racing IAN :. according
to Sergt Ralph w. BottrieIl of Kelly
Field, who says they are jumping from
airplanes at the same time and to see
who can reach the ground first. Ser
geant Bottriell is the foremost para
chute expert in the army and one of
the most noted jumpers of the world.
He has made special study of para
chutes for years, and had much to do
with the invention and development of
the "free" type parachute. the type
that has been adopted by the army air
service.
But back to parachute races. That
sport is one which requires much more
skill on the part of the contestant
than merely jumping from plane and
letting the big umbrella float him to
the ground. 1t is sport that carries
a thrill for both contestant and spec
tator, and one which requires most
accurate judgment of distance on the
part of the jumper.
The racers jump from their respec-
tive planes at the signal from a third

usually five to six hundred feet, each
trying to get ahead of the other. Fin
ally the rip cord is pulled and the
parachute opens. But still the race
lacks a whole lot of being over. The
next move on the part of the contest
ants is gathering in their hands the
cords attached to one side of the para
chute and pull them toward him. This
causes one side of the parachute TO
collapse, and once more the jumper
starts toward the ground with increas-
ing velocity. When as close to the
earth as the racer dares to fall, he
releases the cords and allows the para
chute to open again and floats him
safely to the ground.
Jumped -Four Miles High.
Sergeant Bottriell states that he will
jump from as high an altitude as a
plane can fly. Until last year he held
the worlds record for parachute jump
ing, having jumped 10000 feet at Nc
Cook Field in 1920. This record was
broken by one of his own students.
Lieutenant Stevens. at the same field
last year, the latter jumping $4,000
feet The plane from which Lieuten-
ant Stevens jumped. however, was
equipped with a supercharger. and
thus was able to attain greater alti-
tude. Sergeant Bottriell said that his
pilot flew around for IL minutes at az
altitude of 10000 feet trying TO go
higher but the plane would not make
it.

LIVING TOO FAST.

To the Editor:
Many people of today are going
through this old world. at terrible
rate and it might be well TO term it
"at break neck speed" so TO speak.
regardless Of ever giving a thought
as to what their future may be. That
seems to be the least of their thoughts.
Their minds seem to be set on nothing
but the almighty dollar and to get
it in any way that they can and TO
accumulate this worlds goods and to
lay up treasures here on earth.
Many don't have the right love
one for another. That is why there
is so much crime all over the land.
You can't pick up newspaper these
days. but what you will see an &C.
count of eight or ten murders and
crimes OF different kinds that are
committed each day and il many of
the people of today had more of that
Cody love in their hearts, then they
would not want to commit murder,
or do any injury TO their fellowman.
for God is love and love is God and
when there isn't any love for God
in a persons heart, then the devil
has taken full possession of them.
Then you need not be surprised in
the least at anything they do. because
there is nothing that is too mean for
the devil to do.
Now, this is very wrong and con-
trary to the Word of God yet so
many that claim to be Christians will
do things just the opposite Of what
God has commanded them to do.
Those kind of people are only profess
sors of religion and not possessors
and it is known fact that many
of this type will go to church on
