! What has become of the old fash
toned Belington boy who used to sit
still and listen when his parents were
talking?
The orator who rants about better
ing the outlook of people ought to
remember that the outlook Of lot
of people would be helped If it was
narrowed down to what they could
see from cell window.
Don't always let the fellow who
is going to pay you know just how
hard up you are.
We heard Belington man say yes
terday that the only way to keep
cook is to marry one-and even then
she wants you to keep cook.
Why is&it that some people think
they are in pretty good shape when
they have some money in their poe

body in town.
We're not limiting, of course, but
we often wonder what became of
those big-hearted fellows who used to
bring the editor pumpkin or sack
of potatoes along about this time of
year.
The pretty Belington girl soon
finds it out, but the homely one goes
to the mirror oftenest.
We read in daily paper that
"science has discovered a substitute
for coffee" And here we'd been
thinking some of the restaurants of
this country were the ones that dis
covered it.
Maybe one reason why things don't
get back to normal any faster in this
country is that we crave peace but
demand excitement.
"If we ever do have as many air
planes as we have flivvers," said a
Belington man yesterday, "then let's
hope they equip their monkey
wrenches with parachutes."
Strawberries are priced at $3.50
quart in New York City. And the
worst part of it is some people are
actually buying them.
Pity the poor editor. He no more
than gets the problems of the work

AS far as some of us around Be-
lington are concerned, it's good
thigh for the bankruptcy courts that
Christmas comes but once year.
They are talking about simplifying
the in come tax blank. Here's hop
|. ing them it so simple we can get a.
long without it altogether.
Blessed are the poor in pocket, for
scandal in their family seldom gets
on the front page Of the big daily
papers.
If the average Belington man could
make his wife and the rest Of the
folks believe it, he'd be sure he's
nothing short Of an angel
Dead leaves bring memories. They
often remind Us Of the Hve-cent CT
CARS we get Whit Of now and then.
The old-fashioned Belington girl
who wore enough underwear on a
cold day to fill a trunk now has

ARTESIAN WELL IN
AT ROOSEVELT PARK
FOR BATHING POOL
May Put Air Pressure
Pump to Increase
the Flow.

At the depth of 400 feet the well
that the city of San Antonio is dig
ging in Roosevelt Park came in with
an artesian flow, Monday afternoon,
averaging about 65 gallons per min.
ute. and the municipal swimming
pool was being filled for the first
time Tuesday morning. 1t is thought
that the flow can be increased by use
of an air pressure pump. which will
be installed Tuesday afternoon or
Wednesday morning.
The mayor was rather disappointed
at the quantity or water found, but
expressed his satisfaction at the quail
ity. The water is mixed just bit
with sulphur. which will make the
pool much more, sanitary for bathing.
After the well was brought in. late
Monday afternoon, it was decided not
to release the water until the swim
ming pool had been thoroughly cleaned
and prepared. Fire Chief ]. G. Sar-
ran and Crew No. 10 assisted in clean
ing the pool, Tuesday morning, and
officiated at the release Of the flow
of artesian water into the pool.
City Fire Marshal G. Russi. who
has been advising the mayor during
the digging of the well. stated that
the flow could be materially increased
by the addition of an air pressure
pump, provided that the head flow"
of capacity underground. is available

Kept Awake By

Many people are often kept awake
or hours at night by a peculiar nerv-

fines the distress begins as soon as

tack may be accompanied by ex-
RENE nervousness or a terrible feeling

zach moment is your last Oh earth.
Most persons troubled in this way

since seeing the well, that the flow
can be increased at least ten times
by air pressure, if the quantity can bC
secured.
John Little. driller of the well
stated that he thinks the flow can be
greatly increased with air pressure, as
he believes that the pressure is all
that is lacking. Mayor Tobin stated
that if the flow is not. increased by
artificial means, he may decide either
to go deeper for a larger flow. or Ia
use city water for the pool. Another
well will not be drilled, the mayor
said.
If the pool is filled by Wednesday
morning, the mayor will allow bath
ing. However, if the work is resumed,
or if experiments must continue in
the drilling. no bathing will be allowed
until further announcement by the
mayor.
When the proper supply of water

QUOTA END OF
MANIFESTATION
BILL NOW UP
Interest in Washington
Centers in Attitude
Of Coolidge.
NO WORD FROM TOXIC
Predict President Will We,
to Bill That Excludes
japanese.
NO WORD FROM TOXIC

Wellington, d. C.. April 18.-The
Senate having made doubly clear its
emphatic rejection Of Ambassador Ha-
nihara's protest against exclusion of
Japanese from the list of immigrants
admissible to the United States, inter-
est in this phase of the immigration
question turned today to the attitude
of President Coolidge and the reac-
ton of the Toxic government.
The Senate, meanwhile, had before
it the troublesome quota provisions of
its immigration bill, but expected pass
age of the measure by the end of the
week, after which the points at which
it differs, from the House measure
must be ironed out in conference be-
fore the President is called upon to
pass finally upon the problem.
No indication has been given of
President Coolidge's future course with
reference to the exclusion question. He
has, with Secretary Hughes, opposed
incorporation of such a provision af-
fecting the japanese, and there have
been limitations in some administra-
ton quarters that he may veto the
measure, but congressional leaders pre-
dict that he will sign it.
Adoption of the amendment exclud-
ing Japanese immigrants yesterday
was more or less formal completion
|of the Senate's action Monday ii re-
|jecting, by majority increased by Am
|bassador Hanihara's vigorous letter the
proposal of the immigration commit
tee which would have given legal sane
ton to the "gentlemen's agreement"
Dispatches from Toxic saying "new
Important instructions" had been sent
4 to Ambassador Hanihara we're read
with interest here.
No statement was made at the en-
bassy, however, pending a conference
today between the envoy and Secretary
Hughes.
