SALVATION ARMY
ANNUAL APPEAL is
BUT A WEEK OFF
Plans Ready for $4,000
Drive to Start
81. March II.

with little more than a week be-
fore the Salvation Army Home Ser
vice Appeal, March II, II and Is, we
are lining up a representative num-
Der of men and women who will COM
prise the teams for the three-day
drive" James Caldwell, appeal chair
man said Saturday in speaking OF the
campaign for $4,000 for operation of
the salvation Army's many activities
here during the present year.
While we have signed up a large
number of workers We need more Of
them that the plans of small districts
and ample workers may be worked
cut. The women of San Antonio have
especially shown interest in the COM
ing campaign, and we are looking TO
them for major successes; their dis
tricts will comprise some of the best
territory in the city and it would not
be at all surprising if they do not
beat the mems teams in the amounts
collected during the drives.
Some of the larger industries have
already completed collections in their
establishments and these amounts are
being held until the appeal dates when
the money will be turned over to the
teams. Despite the fact that San
Antonio has been literally swamped
by drives and campaigns for funds
within the last two months, we con-
fidcntly expect to raise the entire
SOL 900 budget.
This confidence is based on the
past support that has been shown to
the army. None of the money to be
collected here will be expended on
but the most worthy and
necessary improvements and projects
of the Salvation Army in San An
tonic. This is unquetsionably the
most important city in the Southwest
and reflects credit to the citizens who
have made possible the advancement
and accomplishments.
A meeting of the advisory board
has been called for Tuesday morning
at IL o'clock in the appeal headquar-
tiers, Maverick building, by Victor
Keller, president of the board. "The
primary purpose of the board meet
ing Will be to decide on the details
of how the campaign is to be conduct
cd" said Mr.. Keller.
"Those who have studied the pam
phlets that have been distributed
showing the expenditures of last year.
and outlining the proposed work of
the present year. have been unanim-
Gus in their declarations that no 9TH
err institution of the scope and activ-
ity of the Salvation Army here could
operate on half the budget we are
asking.
business experts and especially the
bankers of the city are pronounced
in their praise Of Adjutant Ida l..
Anderson who is in charge of the Sal
yation Army Women's Home and Ma
ternity Hospital. This institution
alone is significant of what the Sal
walton Army is doing. There are
hundreds of people in the city who
find succor and haven at the hands of
the Salvation Army--we can not for
get any Of them--ahd / know that
the people of San Antonio win not
forget. Rr
Members OF the board and the
other workers in the campaign are
very busy people, but they think moth
ing of devoting the time that is neces-
sary for the success of the appeal.
1t is such splendid and important
phase Of the life of San Antonio that
it can not for moment be showed out

GUESTS OF STORE
THURSDAY NIGHT
Eat at Banquet and Then
Go to the Ma
jestic.

A little over thirteen years old and
the president of one of the city's
busiest concerns, which has increased
twelve-fold in a period of two years.
such Is L. Bremen, president of the
Solo Serve Company of this city, who
celebrated his fifty-third birthday
Thursday evening, with a banquet
and Majestic party to officers and
employees of the company. Since his
birthday comes in Leap Year. or
every once in four years, it is readily
seen that he is only little over thir-
teen. Despite this handicap. he has
accomplished wonders in the founding
and building up OF business organi-
zation which seems never to stop
growing.
Over forty officers and employees Of
the Solo Serve Company were enter
tanned at the banquet held in the
army room of the Gunter Hotel, and
appropriate speeches and musical Sc
IectIons were rendered for the oc-
casion. Following that. a Majestic
Iheater party was given.
The main feature OF the occasion
was the speech made by Mr.. Bremen.

True success can be won by three
cardinal principles. he said. Hon

absolutely necessary for the building
Of successful life, as well as bust

a great thing may be achieved
through luck, influence or dishonesty.
Absolute integrity must be preserv-

lie further stressed the point of
aiming at a particular object for sue

only by a concentration of ones

pressed himself as greatly gratified
at the fine spirit of loyalty and CO.
operation shown by officers and en-
plOyes, and said that he was sure
that even greater and more brilliant
years awaited the business.
I. Il. Ewing, vice president of the
company. made a talk on loyalty, say
ing that be had observed a very good
spirit among the personnel, and felt
lrde and pleasure in the fact that all
mad contributed in a noteworthy man
ner TO the success of the organization,

other problem. The weather was cold

they were scantily clad and weak

The mother of that little family is

FOLKS

Sonora Amelia Lyons Alfaro. wife
of the minister from Panama. is one
of the several Anglo-Latin matrons
in the corps, for she is the daughter
of English parents. who. though long
resident in the isthrnus country, had
kept to their native customs and reared
their family after it's mode. But Sonora
Alfaro was born in what Is now the
small republic, though at that time it
was a part of Colombia. Seemingly she
is entirely Latin and she speaks Eng
lish with a trace of accent and the faS-
cinating slowness of those who use it
only occasionally.
Though here less than two years,
sonora has attained as firm hold on
the affections of Washington as the
minister has on its esteem. There is
a group of five children. ranging from
a youth who is in the senior year at
Georgetown University to a pretty
little girl of six. Coming from a
cline where summer is perpetual and
where the chief staple of food is fruit
and nuts and only the lighter and
more delicate kinds of meat. Sonora
Alfaro faced a problem to keep the
little ones in good health. Though
she has enjoyed Washington and at
tained an enviable prominence in its
social realm, she has often been
forced to grieve for her many and de-
licious fruits and melons and to de-

and could not at first acquire taste
for such as the Washington markets
provide.

away in the night, So peaceful was
her end that It was hours before
Clayton could awake to a realization
that his wife was dead.
The horror OF the situation came
to him very slowly. and It Is doubt
full that he ever fully realized the
enormity of his sorrow and the fear
full responsibility that had devolved
upon him with the care Of that wee
thing, his son. still nursing babe.
The last entry IN his diary was
made the morning following her
death, and there he recites the sad
details in a matter Of fact way that
adds to the pathos of 1t; for it
breathes n tired apathy born Of long
sorrow and hopGlessness. which even
his cruel blow could scarcely awake
to further suffering:
My little son Is crying for nourish-

piest Of her young life.
That ii would have been beset by
worries and apprehension had she
been in full command OF her mental
faculties Clayton we'll knew; so that
while he suffered terribly to see her
so, there were times when he was
almost glad. for her sake, that she
could not understand.
Long since had he given up any
hope OF rescue, except through acct
dent. With unremltting zeal he had
worked to beautify the interior OF
the cabin.
Skins Of lion and panther covered
the floor. CupbOards and bookcases
lined the walls. Odd vases made by
his own hands from the clay Of the
region held beautiful tropical flow
ers. Curtains Of grass and bamboo
covered the windows, and, most ar
duOus task of all. with his meager
/ assortment OF tools he had fash
Toned lumber to neatly seal the walls
and ceiling and lay a smooth floor
within the cabin.
That he had been able to turn his
/ hands at all to such unaccustomed
labor was a source of mild wonder
10 him. But he loved the work be

life that had come to cheer them.
/ though adding a hundred-foId to his
responsibilities and to the terrible
ness Of their situation.
During the year that followed
Clayton was several times attacked
by the great apes which now seemed
to continually infest the vicinity of
the cabin; but as he never again
ventured outside without both rifle
and revolvers he had little fear of
the huge beasts
He had strengthened the window
projections and fitted unique
wooden lock to the cabin door, so
that when he hunted for game and
fruits, as It was constantly neces-
sary for him to do to insure susie
nance. he had no fear that any ami
NAL could break into the little home.
At first he shot much of the game
from the cabin windows, but toward
the end the animals learned to fear
the strange lair from whence issued
the terrifying thunder Of his rifle.
In his leisure Clayton read. often
aloud to his wife, from the store OF
books he had brought for their new
home. Among these were many for
| little childrenzpicture books, prim-
ers, read ers-for they had known
that their little child would be old
enough for such before they might
hope to return to England.
AT other times Clayton wrote in
his diary, which he had always been
accustomed to keep in French and
in which he recorded the details of
their strange life. This book he
! kept locked in a little metal box.
