Their automobile was backed out of
the garage, filled with doll buggies,
chairs. blocks and more than score
of other toys, and driven to Fire Sta
ton No. 2, just off Alamo Plaza on
East Crockett Street.
Here there was a surprise awaiting
Bebe.
Jack Specht, The Lights camera
man, had learned that she was coming
and was on hand to "snap" her.
Bebe remained about the large fire
house for more than an hour.
She had the firemen show her some
of the many toys they have already re-
paired and reprinted.
Bebe could hardly believe they were
once old ones such good workmanship
was in evidence.
Fire Chief ]. G. Sarran, the Fire
man-Santa Claus, reports each day
finds more toys coming in, but that
people mustn't stop just yet.
According to rumors, Santa Claus
is laid up with bad touch of bron.
chitis and will not be able to visit
every home this year.
Chief Sarran and Phil Wright, fire
and police commissioner, who cooper
atcd with The Light in the distribu'
ton of the toys last year are conf
dent twice as many homes will be Wis
tied this year.
Soon The Light will ask the pool
San Antonio kiddies to mail in theil
requests.
Their addresses and wishes will b.
turned over to the fire chief and hi
will endeavor to fill them Christmas
morning.

Tot Gives Unselfishly
That Old Santa Claus

Firemen Renew Appeal for
Discarded Toys to
Rebuild.

Little six-year-old Bebe Doolittle is
Just learning to read.
This partly explains why she has
given all of her old toys to San An
tonic firemen for distribution among
the poor at Christmas time.
Bcbe, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
f. w. Doolittle, 121 Burnett Street,
picked up a COPY of The Light the
other day.
She saw the picture Of John Ga
roni, four-year-old son of Deputy
Sheriff and Mrs. John Garoni, who
also gave his old stock of playthings
to the fire department which will re-
build them for poor San Antonio chill
dren.
Bebe got her mother TO read her the
story about the little boy who gave
so unselfishly.
Il want TO give my old dolls and
my automobile, too" Bebe exclaimed
when her mother finished.
And her wish was not to be denied.

than you can find in the average five
and ten cent store. Receipts, checks.
hair pins, matches, powder puffs, car
books, and even real greenbacks are
sometimes found, according to Mrs.
f. II. Humphrey, librarian.
Most of the articles left are such
things as matches, receipts and hair
pins. 1t is seldom that anybody leaves
anything valuable. Only recently, how
ever, a woman left some bills, she re-
ported, in a book. In this case the
librarian simply gave her the names
of persons who had taken the book out
since she had it.
Sometimes articles are left by those
who read in the library. Unmailed
letters are often left and in such
cases the librarian has them mailed.
But love letters that have been al
ready read are not uncommon. AT
least the librarian and her assistants
suppose they are love letters because
of the hurry in which those who leave
them return for them. Often they are
very excited for fear the letters may
have fallen into other hands.
In once city woman left a garter
"a pretty blue one-in n book. She
had read the book in bed and used
the garter for a book mark. Most
articles left in books have been used
as marks.

According to A. NJ. Fischer, who for
eighteen years was proprietor Of an
all-night pharmacy in San Antonio, the
before-dawn customer is the "man"
part of "manners" what he
wants when he wants it, and some
times openly scrrowful because of the
errand that drives him out in the dark.
Next day the same man is seemingly
patient and would never show the
weakness of self-pity.
Seldom is the midnight customer
communicative, Mr.. Fischer says-and

PRUNE DOOR LEADS
TO BIGGEST STILL

Pungent prune odors permeating the
atmosphere led to the seizure of one
of the largest stills captured in Bexar
County since prohibition, Thursday.
According to Deputy Sheriffs Peters
and Diaz, the distillery had a ca
pacity of more than 100 gallons. Fifty
gallons of high grade "moonshine" and
200 gallons of mash were seized with
the still.
Residents of the Bandera road re-
ported the place to Sheriff Stevens.
Prohibition agents took the case after
the discovery by Stevens deputies.

How can children be best educated?
What provisions docs the city make

state, the nation? What does it cost
per year to educate n child in San
Antonio? Compare this cost with
other cities. What provision does the
city, county and state make for or

to the city, the state, the nation?
These problems, and similar ones,
are grouped under one general title:
"How shall the people of San An
tonic and Texas solve the following
problems?" and the student is re-
quired to work out the answer for
himself to the end that when he takes
his place in the community, as an
adult citizen, he may be familiar with
those problems and eveptually, work
ing with others, find solution OF
them. .r.

8. A. PROBLEMS
ST UD|ED by
STUDENTS
Projects Involve Research,
Analysis and Thought
From Pupils.

Civic problems that confront the
citizen in everyday life of the COM
munity are being intelligently studied
in a series of projects outlined for
students in the public schools of San
Antonio. The projects involve re-
search, study and analysis by the stu
dents themselves, both by practical
observation of these problems in the
life of the city, state and nation; the
causes that led to these conditions,
and what is being done towards rene
dying them. 1t also involves the find
ing of a solution of the problems by
the student. as far as he may be able,
from his research, observation and an
alysis.
Among some of the problems to be
studied by the students are: How can
we reduce the amount of crime COM
mitted? What is crime? What does
crime cost the city of San Antonio?
What do the schools do to prevent
crime? What does the city and
state do to control crime?
STUDY PROBLEMS.
How can the health of the people
be improved and safeguarded? Garb-
age and sewerage disposal. Proper
sanitation. Pure, clean food. What
does the city do to see that food Of
fered for sale is clean and pure? Why
should such laws be enforced? What
does the state do for the health of the
people the federal government?
What provision is made for recrca-
ton Of the people?. Are there enough
school Fairgrounds, city parks and
plazas; baseball, polo and tennis
fields; swimming pools and children's
Fairgrounds in San Antonio? Are
they large enough? Are these things
worth the money they cost the peo-
pie? What does the state do for rec
reation for the people? Why should
Texas maintain state parks? What is
the federal government doing? Why
should the government maintain ma
tional parks? Would it be better il
they were privately owned; if not,
why?
How would you improve transpor-
eation and traffic conditions? Why
traffic rules? What are they in the
city of San Antonio? Why should
they be enforced? Why should GER
tain streets be paved and not others!
What does the state and county do
to aid transportation and traffic con-
ditions; the federal government? Who
pays for these? What is the duty of
citizens regarding accident proven
ttion?
