COLOR AFFECTS MIND
Headaches and Nervousness Often
Caused From Improper Decoration.

Lack of harmony at home. atrocious,
iangling draperies, nerve-racking color
combinations. flat. dull walls have a
noticeable effect on the occupants boil
mentally and physically, says well
known local decorator.
Headaches. nervousness and irrita-
bilty can easily be caused by improper
color combinations. Those dreary. cold
cheerless rooms might be made the
most attractive in the home for with a
little knowledge they can be decorated
so attractively as to cause visitors and
friends to comment on their charm.
Recent Investigations show that color
has a tremendous influence on peoples
minds.

One Of City's Finest
Churches Built by Con-
gregation Of 200.
PASTOR DESIGNS IT
South Sides" Church Of
Christ Had Humble Be-
ginning z Years Ago.

line comparatively small congrega-
ton of the Grove Avenue Church Of
Christ is constructing one-of San An
tonio's finest church buildings. 1t is
about completed and will cost approx
mately $4,000. 1t will be equipped
with the latest in church fixtures and
has an unusually convenient arrange
ment of its sixteen Sunday school
rooms, large auditorium, basement, Of
flee and other features.
1t is not considered an uncommon
occurrence in San Antonio for church
to construct $4,000 edifice. but con-
sidering the fact that the Grove Ave-
nue. Church was established only about
two years ago and that its congrega-
ton is made up of about 200 people,
the achievement is especially note
worthy.
Beginning with a mere handful of
members two years ago. the Grove
Avenue Church of Christ has held SER
vices in a small frame structure. which
apparently was built for residence.
The membership soon began to in
crease as the residents of the South
Side and many other sections of the
city of the same faith ms that of the
Grove Avenue Church of Christ heard
of the newly established church.
Pastor Designs Building.
Last May, construction was begun
on the present church building which
is nearing completion. 1t occupies n
site adjoining that of the frame build
ing on Grove avenue at Presa street
in which the church has been holding
services.
At a cost Of about $4,000. which
sum was raised and contributed by the
200 members of the congregation, the
present building is being constructed.
W. d. Bills. pastor of the church, de-
signed the new building and has super
vised Its construction to great extent.
]. A. Johnson is the contractor.
The building. which has two stories
and a basement. is constructed with
red brick and trimmed in white stone.
1t has sixteen Sunday school rooms,
two of which are equipped with folding
doors that open into spacious audi
torium.
A large balcony in the auditorium in
addition to the first floor will seat
several hundred people. There are pri-
vate rest rooms for men and women.
an office, a bantistery with robing
rooms conveniently situated. base
ment and other features. which tend
to make this new edifice on of the
finest in the city.
French Grey Finish
A special feature of the interior
decorations of the church will be the
finish. All interior woodwork includ-
ing the pews will be finished in French
gray. Heretofore the majority of
church buildings have been finished in
hard oil and white and cream enamels.
Only recently a few churches have
adopted the French gray finish.
Opening services are planned for
Sunday, October q. and a special pro-
gram is being arranged, according to
an announcement by the pastor.
"In all probability the church will
hold its first services next Sunday but
there is a chance that work and finish
ing touches will not be entirely CON-
pleted by then. In this event the fol-
lowing Sunday will be the opening
day." the pastor announces.

DESPITE DECLINE IN
PRICES CATTLEMEN
ARE DOING BETTER
Rains, Easier Money, and
Mexico's Recognition !.
Cause Bright Outlook. :;

Despite the disastrous decline in ths
cattle market during the last two
years and the fact that today's prices.
are the lowest in the history of the
cattle industry for many years, most
of the stockmen have sr.vived. and
with the large supply of-money avail-
able at low rates of interest on good
ranch lands, every indication points 10
improved conditions in the cattle busi-i
ness during the next "a months, says
r. r. Redus of the Redus Land Com.
pany.
Mexico, under the new government,
is calling for tens Of thousands ofeat-
tie, sheep and goats to restock its
ranges, and many buyers are searching
for low-priced cattle with view Of
taking profits from now on. he says.
Splendid rains in South Texas and
Mexico during the last 90 days have
given a wonderful grow" of grass,
which insures fat cattle during the
coming fall and winter. With the re-
cent high price of cotton. says Mr..
Reduss and the splendid yield in the
San Antonio district, together with
good crops Of corn. and other grains
with fair prices for all. together with
the fact that much of the farming ter
ritory has had liberal payments for oil
and gas leases all add to the future
values Of farm lands in South Texas.
The fact that San Antonio is the
gateway to Mexico will cause thou
sands and thousands of people duri',-
the coming year to view the rich lands
and fat cattle and enjoy the splendi9
climate of Texas. Obviously. this will
increase the value Of the farming In
terests in South Texas. he says.
During my eighteen years Of con-
tinuous experience in the land busi
ness in South Texas. have never kls
more calls for land in Mexico and 7
South Texas farms than have hads
the last 60 days and owing to my eie
experience. I feel safe in ne
ing that the coming two years ~
show a substantial increase in na-
farm land in South Texas" Mr.. j. =
says.

Desire for Publicity Makes
Bandit Out of Bill Carlisle

robbers get lots of publicity ergo, he
would become Il tram robber, and he

lar train robber the modern West has
produced.
Every episode of Bills outlawry was
characterized by his itch for spectacu-
larity and equally characterized by
his shrinking from hurting others.
Was Own Press Agent.
He press-agented his robberies by
sending notification in advance that
at a certain time, at a certain place,
he would rob certain train. He did
il three times before he was caught,
meanwhile reveling in an avalanche
of publicity. Repeatedly he risked cap
ture to obtain newspapers carrying
sensational stories of his crimes.
Finally run down, sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life. he boasted that
be would escape and immediately rob
another train. And he kept that prom
Use.
Assigned TO the prison shipping de-
partment, he substituted himself for
the contents of a package case that
had been filled with shirts, and was
carried to freedom by his captors.
Within SO hours he had robbed an
other train.
Since his recapture he has been
tanner. but his hankering for notoriety
is undiminished. He says he'll be
heard from again. startlingly. He
probably will-the spotlight awaits
