NEW LAWS NEEDED TO
COPE WITH CRIME

The law enforcement committee of
the American Bar Association vents
that organization to appoint a COM
mission to draw up standard pro-
cedure for the courts to follow in the
pursuit of crime. Delays and techni-
calities enable many criminals to es-
cape in this country. This committee
says the means used to cope with
crime and criminals are neither ade-
quate nor efficient.
The United States must show the
same determination in fighting crime
that it did in winning the war.
Our people scarcely realize how
prevalent crime has become. Years
ago these dark deeds were unusual,
and they got big scare-heads in the
newspapers. Now they are so COM
mon that they do not attract near so
much interest.

This cut illustrates Burnett's NO
- CHART method of examining eyes
for glasses.
EYES THAT GO OUT
Are usually eyes that have been abus-
ed and neglected. If you would have
seeing eyes when you are old, take
care of them in youth and m d d | e
life.
PARENTS, SCHOOL NURSES AND
TEACHERS, ATTENTION!
Never permit any doctor or dispen-
ser of glasses to furnish glasses for
children by having them read letters
on chart across the room and try
ing to tell when they think they see
best. You grownups, who have had
glasses fitted by chart examination,
must admit that it was very confus-
ing to you. How then, can you ex-
pect child, who is naturally more
or less frightened at the ordeal, to
get satisfactory results? Bring the
children to me. examine the inter-
Tor of the eyes and prescribe glasses
without using the patients Judgment.
Ny way is 95 percent better for ev-
erybody. examine eyes by artificial
light all the time. Ii you are busy
during the day come in after supper.

PLANS 80 HOMES IN
HIGHLAND PARK AND
COUNTRY CLUBP PLACE
H. {. Thorman Announces
Second Half of Great
Campaign for This Fall.

About so more homes will be con-
structed during the next three months
in Highland Park and in Country Club
Place by H. c. Thorman. well known
home builder. The recent building cam
paign launched by Mr.. Thorman is
pronounced a great success. Only six
homes remain unsold.
Thirty of the new homes will be
built by Mr.. Thorman in Highland
Park and so will be constructed in
Country Club Place. The new homes
will be Of the same types as have al
ready been constructed by Mr.. Thor
man. All will be bungalows of Colonial
and English types of architecture as
well as of the California style. 1t is
expected that work on the construction
of the homes will begin shortly after
September 1.
During the last two Years Mr.. Thor
man has constructed about 100000
worth of homes in San Antonio. most
of them in Highland Park. About so
of the homes were constructed on diff
ferent streets in that residential dis
trict while about fourteen were COL
structed in Country Club Place.
More than 100 lots were pur-
chased by Mr. Thorman in Highland
Park at one time during the first of
1923. 1t is safe to say that Mr.. Thor
man has launched one of the greatest
and most beneficial home building
campaigns ever seen in San Antonio.
His houses represent the highest type
of the modern home, having practically
every convenience in addition to ex-
cellent location. Modern plumbing fix
lures are especially noticeable in the
homes constructed by Mr.. Thorma1
and their floor plan arrangements are
yet to be excelled for ventilation as
well as convenience.

Business Is Good.

L0ckiart, Tex, Aug. 25.-This city
had the busiest day on last Saturday
of any day for a number of years. Fol
the past two weeks the cotton has beeh
opening so rapidly that it has been
pouring in to town faster than ever
before. All stores were jammed with
buyers and not nearly enough clerks
can be gotten to attend their needs
Cold drink stands and eating houses
were packed to the doors until late
into the evening. Thousands of farm
ers and cotton pickers had pockets
bullying with money and were making
much needed purchases. All the bank
doubled the tellers at their Windows
and still they were swamped with tbs
heaviest business that was eva.
handled in the city of Gonzales. The
entire cotton crop is practically opened
all over the county and much diff.
Guilty is being experienced in securing
sufficient pickers with which Il
gather it. Given two or three week,
of dry weather and the bulk of tn
crop will be harvested. A heavy rail-
just now would be a catastrophe.
