day afternoon at South Alamo and
Nueva streets. The fire apparatus
was responding to an alarm at the

ately following the crash. When. in
but moments time he ascertained
no ono was hurt and his car was
locked with that of Collins. he Ieaped
from his car. and caught the big
Seagrave motor truck as it came
laundering by the scene of the wreck
few seconds later. thereby continu-
ing on his why to the fire practically
without delay. The fire, however.
proved of little consequence. A spark
from flue it was reported had ignit-
ed the single roof at the home of
NJ. Griggs, 123 Grape street. Chief
Sarran had slowed down his car while
on Nueva street, to negotiate the
curve into Alamo street when the

and today remodeled club house for
Woodlawn Hills golf club, This large
subdivision is practically at the city's
door and contains approximately
quarter of million dollars worth of
homes already with more in prospect

views of San Antonio and the purple

a number of them have their homes
already built while others will build
this spring. it is stated. Many tracts
of from an acre to ten acres have
been bought by San Antonians as i'll

You II Get Rid of
BLackheads Sure

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid Of
blackheads, that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of Gallo
mite powder from any drug store
sprinkle a little on hot, wet cloth
rub over the .blackheads briskly--
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear. Black
heads are a mixture of dust and dirt
and secretions that form in the pores
of the skin. The calonite powder and
the water dissolve The blackheads so
they wash right out, leaving the pores
free and clean and in their natural
condition.
