Mi sombra ahorcada sobre dos abismos
tene la grandeza tragica de 10 mfo.. =.
Mi sombra es la luz--tu luz, alma

Las ventanas la miran
pasar de una casa otra
como ell oleaje de un mar desbordado.

Mi sombra
lleya la luna en- un brazo,
ell nnbo policromo de los astros
en- la inmensidad de sus lineas.
Mi sombra es una esponja
impregnada del humor del Universe.
Ella tacha escribe cifras luminosas
en- la pizarra de la Noche.
Mi sonbra es la sombra de la Humanidad
Mi son1bra sobrepasa mi anhelo
Vedla alucinada desequilibrada
con su melena cafda al mar,
con ell amelia de su coraz6n en- ell mar
sus ojos errantes sobre los horizontes.
Vedla informe, desproporcionada,
sobre sus zancos
sacudiendo .con sus aspas
los palisades narcotizados.
La luz reyela mi sombra,
que es mas luz que mi luz.
Mi sonbra es mi realidad,
contra mi luz. que es mi ilusi6n.

who had read the story in Tuesday 5
Light concerning the sick man who

typewriter paper. The man was told
that the donor of his machine hal
"heard about his wanting a typcwrit-
er, and he was as much pleased rs a
small boy is with new air gun from
Santa Claus.
The man. who is located at South
to.i in the Bexar county tubercular
colony. wanted a typewriter so that
he could try to earn enough money
TO release him from his present de-
pendence on charity. He believes
that he can write stories on technical
subjects. that will sell. because he
has written articles that were accept
ed By good magazines.
Half a dozen offers of typewriters
for the sick man reached the Asso-
ciated Charities as soon as the office
opened. following the appearance of
the story in Tuesdays Light. The
first offer was accepted. and anoth-
er woman. disappointed at not being
able to give her machine, said that
she will send the man SD worth of pa

GENERAL LEWIS SAYS
CITY DESIRABLE FOR
BIG MILITARY CENTER
Bids Farewell on Eue of
Departure for
Europe.

Conditions in San Antonio are
such as to make this city especially
desirable as location for a large
garrison of soldiers" were the words
with which Maj. Gen. T.. VI. Lewis,
Eighth Corps Area commander. who
expects to be ordered TO foreign duty
on the expiration of extended leave
that has been granted him by the War
Department, expressed his opinion OF
San Antonio.
The cooperation of the city and
county. authorities has been extended
General Lewis stated.
On the eve of his departure on a
tour of Europe, General Lewis ex-
presses his appreciation of the cor
dial relations that exist between the
army and the people of San Antonio.
Mrs. Lewis and l will carry with
us pleasant memories of the days We
have spent in San Antonio and hope
to come here again., he stated.
General Lewis came 10 San Antonio
in 1921 and was in command at
Camp Travis for about year. In No
vember, 1922, he became commanding
general of the, Eighth Corps Area.

four months in visiting Italy. France,
Belgium and England and the occu-
pied part of Germany. He will visit
some of the battle fields of France
and Belgium.
According TO his present plans, Gen
eral Lewis expects to return ia Sar
