OVER LIES HURDLES

; Is there a separate kitchen; what
about the quality, quantity and
preparation of the food?
Is the food nutritious and varied

Is the general home atmosphere
congenial. happy and moral or is 1t
quarrelsome, vulgar or degrading?
Do members of the family gather
together evenings?
Is the influence Of parents felt,
What type of visitors frequent the

ton. etc?

What is the, general condition Of
TIE neigbborhood? -y -
Is it densely or spaseiy popu-

Investigations into social status
may require hours of time and re-
peated visits.
1t takes considerable experience
to do this kind Of work well but,
unless it is done well. it Is mora
than not having it done at all.

SAN ANTONIO,
OCTOBER 9, 1925

One shows, self-control and
strength Of purpose; the other weak
ness and lack Of spirit.
One. is prepared for; the other is
slipped into.
In one ease the man likes and
chooses the work. In the other he
hates or is indifferent to it,
In the rut progress stops. spe-
cialization leads sc--swhere.
A nut is a road that runs around
and around a mountain at the same
altitude. 1t never gets any higher.
1t does not lead up. --.---
Specialization is a rut that leads
to the mountain top.
Both a rut and specialization keep
getting deeper and deeper as you 90
on. Gradually the desire or ability
to get out becomes greater.
But in specialization as you wear
deeper you are nearing the top. In
the rut you are Just sinking more
out of sight while remaining At tho
same level. -
Neither the typical specialist nor
the man in the rut is an All-around
man.
The difference is that one has vol
unfairly dropped out Of much Of
life for some big end, while the
= other was unable to avoid 1t.

Nowadays individuals, especially
women. are taking lively interest
in social service.
Either as investigators for char
liable or other public service organ
izations, or for private inquiry,
visits are made to the needy and
home conditions and social stand
ing are investigated.
1t requires considerable tact to
do such things effectively and n
certain knowledge of what consti-
tutes searching and valuable in
quiry is important.
In every case under investigation
six general fields of questioning
should be followed:
First. the financial status Of the
family under consideration.
Here the kind Of work done is as
important as the amount of money
it brings in. Otter a change of
work is what is required.
Then. again, average earning ca
paeity should be arrived at. A
single weeks single income means
nothing.
Debts should also be considered.
Secondly. housing conditions.
How many rooms does the family
occupy and sre they crowded and
unsanitary?
Also. is the family paying too
much for what it gets? Often poor
people, although living in squalid
quarters, are being overcharged by
grasping landlords.
Thirdly. the food supply.

In one Of his books, my friend,
DR.. Frank Crane, says: "Be chill
dren, all Of you, be children. God
save US from an elderly, respected
world. Be children and learn how
to play
Have you ever observed the diff.
ference between one old man and
another? One is spry. good natured,
alert and young in spirit despite his
years. The other is lame and halt
ing, uncertain on his pins, and ever
cross and grabbed.
1t is a pity TO grow old. Old
age and death must come. Of course.
But why encourage age? Why go
out to meet increasing years:
There are fundamental reasons
why some persons seem much older
than others who have had exactly
the same number Of birthdays. 1t
isn't a matter Of the spirit alone;
there are physical reasons for thu
difference.
Local disease. characterized By de-
cay or pus formation, will pro.
lucc conditions capable Of under
mining the strongest body and the
sweetest spirit.
Neglect Of the mouth, the preEer-
walton Of few old roots Of teeth,
permitting a chronic nasal catarrah,
bronchitis or running car to 90 on
year after year without real attempt
at cure, disregardiDg an obstinate
constipation or a persistent diar-
rhoea, and overlooking o long -stspd-
ing il,Olyment Ok the gencrative
orgsns-in one or more Of these
careless acts may be discovered the
foundation Of rapidly progressing
old age.
But if there is no underlying
physical defects, if all the organs
are sound and functioning as they
should, there is no excuse for giving
way 70 advancing years. Here is
where We need the stimulation Of
DR.. Cranes advice. We need TO an
swer his appeal b. the determiHa-
ton 10 be young. TO be children.
When you advance in age create
new interests If you have tired Of
the old ones. Cultivate a hobby.
Collect stamps or coins. interest
yourself in the church, the lodge or
in politics. Get pleasantly excited
over community matters.
Learn TO play golf or even TO run
an automobile. Every day see

Specialization
By. DIR. FRANK CRANE

At first sight there is not so much
difference between specialization
and a rut.
Both are a narrowing down of &C.
tivity to small phase of the whole.
Both mean a missing of many of
the other sides of life. p
Both mean. combining of inter-
ests and sense of giving up.
The outstanding difference be-
tween the two is that specialization
is a road with a third rail.
The rut is not.
The third rail is ambition.
A man voluntarily enters the con-
filming path of specialization. He
has a big end in view. He has the
power Of ambition to drive him on.
The other is involuntary. The
man just slides into the rut. 1t is
the line of least resistance. -.
The former course is dictated
from within the man himself. BE is
master Of his choice.
In the latter the impetus comes
from without. The man succumbs
to the pressure of material things
outside of himself.
In one he sacrifices in the other
he submits.
Specialization is road lined
with gates which can be opened from
within. A rut is road in which
the gates are locked from without.

Fire Prevention Week

IF Fire Prevention Week is to be success, San
Antonio must continue to maintain its record for low
fire losses. The mere proclamation of period de-
voted to the elimination of the causes of fire means
nothing Cooperation between all citizens is essential
Individual careessness is to blame for most fires.
The match or cigarette thrown heedlessly aside the
leaking pipe left unrepared the unnsulated wires
responsible for tremendous losses America suffers
more than any other nation from fires and nine out Of
ten fires can be prevented by common and ordn
airy caution.

Butthorn Starfish.

While technically a member Of tho
tarfish family, the butthorn starfish
differs from its brethren in that it
has no tentacles on its five arms.
Thus it cannot open shells and feed
on luscious oysters like the rest Of
the tribe. But while Mother Ma
ture has been unkind to the butt

has provided it with another way 10

This music, mind you, was played
on bells high in the air on a busy
street with an endless train Of autos
and taxis pouring by in two direc-
tons, honking, sputtering, grinding
gears, splitting the air with their
noise. And yet, as you stood upon
the sidewalk and listened TO the
loud, clear, sweet outpouring of
these wonderful bells, you forgot
all about the noise of the traffic
hardly noticed it, in fact--and be-
came absorbed in a wonderful flood
OF melody that seemed to fill the
heavens.
And that minuet! You had the
feeling that somewhere, above you,
in the wide expanse Of the darkening
sky, tall, stately figures, clad in
the styles of long years ago, were
moving TO the rhythm of a digni-
fled dance, bowling 10 one another,
pirouetting, swaying TO and fro.
smiling and enjoying themselves, all
in perfect time. A lively tune it
was, too, and full Of action and the
spirit of dance. But entirely diff.
ferent from the jazz Of the day.
The tall apartment houses that
surround the church echoed and re-
echoed the sweet clangor Of the
bells. You had only to shut your
eyes and listen in order TO have
ripping stream Of glorious music
and a vivid picture Of old-tine di-
version strike your senses with
startling reality.
Thousands Of people stood upon
the avenue and the side streets
listening with intense pleasure.
Many automobiles stopped-blocking
the traffic-while their passengers
listened, spell-bound, to this aerial
melody.
IL was a touch Of European life
at its best. The commune life Of
people, forgetting themselves, in the
enjoyment of a moments sincere
pleasure.
VIC have too little Of such life in
this country.
There ought to be q carlton in
every city in the United States.

San Antonio Must
Stand Comparison
With Atlanta

| ~ YER in Atlanta Georgia campaign is being
III conducted this week to raise s250,000 to adver-
- tse that city. The drive was formally launched
| last Tuesday morning
- The preceding paragraph should be of tremendous
interest to San Antonans.
Atantans doubtless, would be interested in the fol-
lowing paragraph which is nearly repetition of the
| first:
"Over in San Antonio, Texas, campaign is being
conducted this week to raise s25O000 to advertise that
city. The drive was formally launched last Monday
noon"
San Antonio and Atlanta each first in its state,
is determined to maintain its position.
.. Note, if you please that the method has been
adopted by each to maintain its supremacy.
Note also that the amount sought in city equals
that in the other namely, S250,000
Atlanta is to Dixie what San Antonio is to the
Southwest. Each is the center of an undeveoped
pire, and each is of approximately the population
the population of Atlanta being slightly in of that
of San Antonio
Geographically neither San Antonio nor Atlanta
may be classed seaport Yet each is connected with
port
But when the possibilities of San Antonio and of
Atlanta are brought into the discussion the parallel
must end San Antonio is the center of vast The
empire of Atlanta is comparatively small.
The population growth of San Antonio has been
greater not only proportionately but also numerically
during the last one and one-half decades.
) = In 1910 Atlanta had population of 154S39 and
San Antonio had population of 1854. On July l,
1924 the population of Atlanta according to the latest
bureau estimate available at this writing, was
227,710, and that of San Antonio 191,398.
One should consider the fact, however, that during
the decade covered by the last census the increase in
population in Texas 1871 per cent and that OF
Georgia only II per cent The density of population
in Georgia in 1920 was 493 persons square mile Iii
Texas the density was 1877.
From a purely physical point of view San Antonios
possibilities are greater than those of Atlanta.
One reads in newspapers from that city that promi
nent business of Atlanta have protested that the
to be raised too low. The protest has been
heard here
Over in Georgia the prediction has been made that
the effect of the advertising campaign shall have
been felt subscribers will voluntarily increase their
pledges. The prediction has been made here.
1t is evident that the spirit of loyal San Antonians
does not differ from that of loyal Atlantans.
comparative quanttative analysis is being made
this week.
San Antonio must not suffer by comparison. It must
not be said of the Alamo City that it failed where
Atlanta succeeded.
