frequently commented upon vari-
Gus agencies of the Federal Gov
eminent dealing with social well
fare. Frankly few realize the
human factors which Influence
Government affairs. There are
branches of the Government
given over to scientific investiga-
ton of the elements affecting
the efficiency of public servants.
One of the Government agencies
has revealed some very interest
ing sidelights on the selection of
Government representatives and
the necessity for constant chang
es in personnel.
For instance, investigators have
produced reliable statistics show
ing the effect of climate and
light ON the nervous system. It
has been shown that certain
types of physiques are necessary
for civilian service and for sol
diering in the tropics. One re-
search expert has discovered that
slenderness is of vital survival
value in hot places. The idea is
that such men can keep cool
where stocky men would die of
tropical fever. The Government
has also discovered that climate,
but more particularly light, af-
fects the irritability Of it's SOL
diers and civilian employees. In
this scientific age biology is COM
ing into its place in everyday
life, as well as in the school room.
The Smithsonian Institute, which
is under the direction of Con-
gress, has carried out extensive
work along these lines. The
recent debates on immigration
policies showed the Importance
of these subjects.

San Antonio Smiles on
Youth Whose Mother Was
Taken by Grim Reaper.

Little Antonio Reyes Christmas is
almost complete.
And now Santa Claus is going
shopping so that when Christmas Eve
comes and all of the stockings of An
tonic and his II little cousins are
hung over the mantle they will not
be passed by.
FUNERAL TAKES MONEY.
All of the money that the three
families of .Antonio's cousins out at
Won Omy on the Medina river had
saved up for Christmas was swept
away in the need to pay funeral ex-
penses for Antonio's mother. She
died when in San Antonio on a shop
ping tour for Christmas.
Mrs. Laura Lang, 1911 Paso Hondo
street, brought in a big box to be sent
out to Antonio all stuffed full Of good
things. And a letter was received
unsigned with 26 cents in stamps for
the fund. Mrs. p. Green brought in a
dollar and "a Friend left another
dollar. so the money fund now stands
at S19.26, not including the box and
donation of dolls.
USEFUL GIFTS
The presents that will be given will
be useful ones and the Firemen's
Santa Claus will see that the children
get toys.
So in few days someone win visit
the little cluster of homes on the
Medina and see just what is needed
and then the job will be completed.
In the meantime, Christmas is look
ing lot brighter for the thirteen little
children and part of the sorrow has
been taken from their lives.
