FINEST SWIMMING
POOLS IN SOUTH
TO BE OPEN SOON
Roosevelt Park and San
Pedro Park to Offer
Summer Attractions.

Two swimming pools. among the
finest in the South, will he added
attraction features for visitors to the
Fiesta San Jacinto this year. This
was determined Saturday when Mayor
John w. Tobin announced that he
will have the San Pedro pool cleaned
and ready for use early in April and
expects to have the water flowing into
the Roosevelt Park pool by that
time.
The San Pedro pool was opened
last season and proved to be one of
the most popular recreation resorts In
Bexar county. A larger outlet was
provided so that the pool might be
drained more quickly, thus insuring
clean, fresh water at all times. All
that now remains preparatory to open
ing it is to give it thorough clean
ing. This Mayor Tobin expects to
have done as soon as the weather
warns.
The Roosevelt Park pool was COM
pleted after the season closed last
year and has not been used. 1t is
slightly smaller than the San Pedro
pool, but is its equal in every other
respect. Mayer Tobin recently let a
contract for the drilling of an arte-
sian we'll adjacent to the pool in order
to cut down the cest of providing the
water. The cost, had the city de-
pended upon water obtained from the
Water Company, would have been pro-
hibitive.
The driilers on the Roosevelt ParI;
well had reached a depth of $40 feet
Saturday and expect to complete the
well the early part Of this week. There
is an artesian well in the same vicin.
ity which was drilled to depth OF
$50 feet and Mayor, Tobin believes
that water in the city well will bs
found at the same depth.
The Roosevelt pool has been pro
vided with a large outlet which will
admit of emptying it in a short time
and with water flowing into it con
stantly from the artesian well, fresh
water at all times will be offered the
bathers. 1t is expected that the
Roosevelt pool will prove as popular
with the residents of the South Side
as the San Pedro pool has with those
of the North Side. Incidentally, the
building of the Roosevelt pool is one
of the most important projects yet at
tempted for furnishing amusement and
recreation for South Side residents
Building of the pool was made pos
sible by the laying out of the Roose-
welt Park by Commissioner Ray Lam
bert who filled in an old pit and made
it a beautiful park.

Palmer Speaks on Merchant Fleet

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May ia plea for
adequate and reasonable preparedness
against war by preparing for war" was
made by Secretary Wilbur of the Navy
Department here last night, speaking
before the American Marine Congress.
The nation cannot surrender achieve
ments of its honored dead "to a plea
of pusillanimous pacifism." he said.
The world has learned again in the
great war +that war is not a paying
business" Secretary Wilbur continued.
Germany, disarmed, disheartened, dis
couraged and well-nigh bankrupt, is a
living example that war does not pay,
and yet men do not always regulate
their actions along the line of financial
profits. We are not always cool, cal
culating and deliberate. Human pas
sion sweeps us off our feet.
THE war to end war began 1000
years ago. Its first Soldier died on the
cross. The cause has been notably ad-
vanced, but not wholly won. We have

Sees Merchant Fleet Need.
Secretary Wilbur said that the great
war had demonstrated the necessity
of a merchant marine as a measure
of national security.
eff Germany had had the oppor-
tunity to use her merchant marine
as transports she would have smoth-
cred England and won the war;" he
said.
L. c. Palmer. president of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, said Amer
lea would keep its flag flying on the
seas and would insist that its ships
receive an equitable share of the
ocean-carrying trade.
"On every overseas trade route OF
any considerable Importance to Amer
lean commerce there are American
services, either privately or govern
mentally owned" he said. THE cargo
services as a whole are at present
losing. on the average, about S25,OOO
per ship per voyage.
1.-The maintenance of these services
has had considerable weight in keep
ing ocean freight rates at a low level
but. of course, abnormally low rates
cannot build up the American mer-
chant marine, and we must always
keep in mind that that is our definite
objective.
"At prese Mt the differential with re-
spect to foreign owned lines is such
that we are at a disadvantage with
out some aid to overcome that diff
ferential. / am in favor of freight
rates that will make the routes more
