FRANCE has fatty rejected the Ger
! man proposal Of four-power pact
to preserve the peace Of Europe for u
generation, basing her action on the
provision Of the French constitution
that the power to declare war shall
rest with the parliament. This, of
course, is a technicality, France being
unwilling to make an agreement that
would impair her liberty of action in
compelling payment of the German
PREPARATIONS.

CTANLEY BALDWIN, British cham
- cellor of the exchequer, and his coll
leagues on the commission for the re-
funding of the British war debt to the
United States arrived in Washington
last week and prepared for their work.
Great Britain owes the United States
about $4,5OOOO0,000. 1t is said the
British commission will ask more lib
eral terms than are provided in our re-
funding law, which fixes interest at not
less than Az per cent and the maxi
mum term Of the loan at 20 years.
G ENATOR BORAH has withdrawn
" his resolution for world economic
conference, after it has accomplished
what he probably expected it would.
It compelled the administration to
come out in the open with its views in
the matter. From the White House
came the admission that the United
States is vitality concerned with the
restoration of peace and prosperity in
Europe and that the war debt problem
cannot be settled within the terms of
the funding act. Secretary Hughes, in
a speech at New Haven, suggested that
the problem of Europe be turned over
to an international conference of ex-
nerts and financiers.

Preparations are going forward
rapidly for the annual pageant for
the Fiesta de San Jacinto to be
staged this season in a vast amphi-
theater, seating seven thousand, now
in process of construction on Romano
street, near the bridge. The prop
erty is that bought by the city for
the auditorium. The amphitheater
will be the size of three city blocks.
The stage proportions are one hun
dred and thirty feet by one hundred
and ninety feet. This will allow
apple space for the movement of the
fifteen hundred school children who
take part in the pageant.
The author of the pageant, also its
director, this season is Emile Weston
of San Antonio. The name of the
pageant is "The Awakening of San
Antonio" and its story is told in
two acts.
The beginning revals a woodland
scene, the stage banked with native
shrubs. To the sounds of tie music
Of her native birds, San Antonio

resenting red birds, jackdaws, blue
birds, Mexican canaries, woodpeckers
and visiting birds such as the cedar
waxwings and orioles will dance back
and forth across the stage in move
ments like the swooping of wings.

The color5 of this episode will be
brilliant. the bright reds OF the red
birds, all the brilliant green's and yell

The second act of the pageant takes
San Antonio back to her origin. Be
fore her will pass the spirit of Spain.
Two hundred children in Spanish cos
tunes will dance Spanish dances, the
Jota, Bolero and others.
An old Spanish love scene and a
Spanish bridal party will follow the
mad gay dancers, and the day will
draw to a close. But it is a bright
sunset, for sunshine surrounds San
Antonio throughout all the year. Sun
beams carrying long ribbon stream

aiding the architects TO draw up
plans. Through his work the expert.
ence of the entire country during the
past ten years is put at the disposal
of the local organizations which have
direct charge of erection and main
tcnahce of the institutions.
The association is ALSO conducting
a national health crusade among
school children. Supplies for the
study of public health measures are
now being distributed TO S.000.000
children. Only $4,000 of this num-
Der live in Texas. but the number
in this state is growing rapidly as
organization progresses. The asso-
citation is doing preventative work by
teaching health measures to the chill
dren.
Another phase of the national work
deals with the establishment of tuber
culosis clinics. Hundreds have been
established within the last few years
as a result of the activities of the
association.
Mr.. Strawson is now making an or
ganization tour of Arkansas, Okla

ing the sale of Christmas seals. which

WHERE MONEY GOES
Christmas Seal Proceeds. Put To Use
In Many Ways.

Few people realize what is being
done with the money raised from the
sale of Christmas seals. according TO
Arthur j. Strawson. supervisor OF
field service of the National Tuber-
culosis Association with headquarters
in New York. Mr.. Strawson and
Dwight T.. Breed. executive secretary
Of the Texas Public Health Associa-
ton, came to San Antonio to meet
with the Public Tcalth Committee of
the Chamber OF Commerce ut > p. m.
Wednesday.
The most successful sale of Christ
mas seals ever conducted in San An
tonic was directed by DIR. W. e.
Farmer in 1922, Mr.. Strawson said.
Part of the proceeds OF the sale were
used by the local committee to defray
the expenses of Camp-Laf-A-Lot for
children during last summer. Part
of it was also used to pay the salar-
les of three public health nurses in
San Antonio.
The state and national work is
also supported out of the funds raised
by the sale of seals. The Texas Pub
lie Health Association conducts a
statewide health educational cam
paign. A Mexican worker is employ
ed BY it TO work among the Spanish
speaking. people, and negro is en-
ployed TO do educational work among
the people of his race.
The state association also employs
n supervisory nurse who spends all
her time in organizing and developing
public health work. A worker is also
kept at Austin to handle the work Of
tha madam, haatth thof 10 ha-
ing conducted in the public schools.
Five. per cent. of the money realized
renders aid to both local aud state
health organizations. An institution
al adviser is employed by the nationa
body. He helps TO locate hospitals
and acts in an advisory capacity in

Awful Distress Now Relieved

There is perhaps nothing more dis
tressing to people who are bothered
with them, md surely nothing as dis
pleasing TO other who them as
pimples, blothches, bumps, rash, scro-

similar skin disfigur,:s.
And now that Black and White
Ointment is proving to b, 50 depend.
able in quickly getting rid of these
diseases of the skin, it seems foolish
for people to neglect using it. and
making themselves attractive to others
instead of being sighted all the time.
