OPPOSE NEW TAX
Kiwanis Club Goes on Record Against
Dinkle Bill.

Resolutions protesting the proposed
tax legislation now before the Texas
Legislature were adopted by the Nj
wants Club at its luncheon Friday at
the Gunter. On motion of r. o. Huff,
the club went on record as being OPP
posed to the levy of state income tax,
on the grounds that it would penalize
commerce and work a hardship on wage
carners. The action taken by the XII
wants is similar to that Of other Organi-
cations throughout the state.
Music as a Civic Asset was dis
cussed by DIR. Sigmund Spaeth, The
speaker said that good music improves
the standing of any community and that
its value was no longer disputed. If
every man would listen with open ears,
he would unconsciously and inevitably
become lover of good music, Doctor
Spaeth declared.
The cooperation Of the Kiwanis Club
in securing the Attwater natural his
tory collection at Houston as a nucleus
for a museum here was asked by Miss
Ellen d. Schulz. head Of the science
department of Main Avenue High
School. Miss Schulz said that Dallas
was making strong bid for the col
lection and that San Antonio must act
quickly.

forms of ventilation fail to provide

"Swartwout" ventilators are built
of copper or galvanized rust-reslstlng
metal over u frame work OF galvanized
metal, Mr.. Turner says. The nam
portion of the ventilator is suspended
on a skeleton of steel channels and an
gle-iron, revolving on bronze bearings
and bell metal balls placed centrally
within the ventilator. The bearings
are rust-proof and enclosed. A full
size wired glass-top can readily be sub
stituted for the metal top, he says,
making a combination skylight and ven
tilator. The steeply pitched top makes
a self-cleaning skylight No position OF
