Full many. a turkey was born to
gobble unheard, and sacrifice his wish

That, by stealing an idea from a
certain poetic gem, describes what will
happen to uncounted thousands of
turkeys on the San Antonio market
this Thanksgiving Day.
Just how many turkeys will be con-
sumed or what price will be paid for
them at Thanksgiving cannot be esti-
mated, according to A. A. Snyder, of
the Snyder Produce company, because
it still is too early in the season.
Bad news for the turkey family is
seen in the knowledge that the desire

VICAR To SOLVE
HOUSEWIVES
D|SHWASH|NG
PROBLEM
Woman's Ancient Enemy
to Be Conquered With
Music Over Radio.
BY BESS CARROLL

II you were to ask any housewife
casually what her favorite household
task is. she wouldn't say "dishwash-
ing"
If you gave her time to think it
over, she wouldn't say "dishwashing.
But at last dishwashing. ancient
bane of housewives, will become wonl-
ans favorite indoor sport.
For Tho Light is going to make
dishwashing n pleasure.
Did you ever hear of radio dish
washing? Neither has anyone else,
for The Light has just invented it. 1t
is painless process of laundering
dirty dishes, whereby the gruesome de-
tails of the ordeal are entirely forgot
ten. 1t is the kind of dishwashing
that people will "cry for" when they
try it.
MUSIC LIGHTENS TASKS.
Every day at noon station VICAR,
super-radio station of the Southern
Radio Corporation of Texas and The
San Antonio Light, will broadcast mu-
sic. Definite announcement will be
made soon.
Any task is made easier by music.
When we die there is music. On an
equally sad occasion according TO
benedicts) when we marry, there is
music. Perfectly sane people, not af-
flicted with st. Vitus Dance, will hop.
jump, twist, gyrate and step on each
others feet because of a tango played
by jazz orchestra.
And soon the busy housewife can
flip her dishrag in time with the
tunes Of the air, doing her daily dozen
dishes to music and rafting smutty
pans in rhythm with "I'll See You
In My Dreams"
BATTLE NEARLY WON.
The jolly, cheering music of the air
will make most housewives forget they
ever met dirty dish. They will be
dancing from sink to kitchen cabinet,
their feet answering the summons of
a Turing fox-trot-their minds alb
sorbed with melody and not with
greasy dishes.
Therefore, the battle of the dishpan.
woman's Waterloo. is practically won.
For cons housewives have tried to
defeat the endless array of dirty dishes
that must be conquered three times
day in the Battle of the Sink.
1t was battle that was never won,
for though soap and water and elbo-I
grease can dispose of one painful of
dirty dishes, there are always more.
CURE WON'T DO.
Once upon a time a man-probably
a henpecked husband--suggested, after
bordering over the dishwashing prob
lem, that everybody stop eating. That
was finally accepted as the only real
cure for dishwashing, but even that
won't work.
The only practical current cure for
dishwashing. before the radio method
was invented, was to marry man

ways increasing, from year to year.
HIGHER DEMAND.

The increasing demand and the shori
crop means that many turkeys which
would have enjoyed the privilege of
being able to gobble until Christmas
or perhaps later date, will have to
die before THANKSGIVING Day.
Last Thanksgiving approximately
IS cars containing 10000 pounds of
dressed turkey each were either sold
in this city or sent on to other mar
kets, according to produce men. Prob
ably five or six of the carload lots
were consumed locally. they said.
Farmers were paid from 20 to 30
cents per pound for live turkey, and
by the time the bird was placed i'll
the hands of the housewife, she paid
so cents per pound up for it.
START MOVING SOON.
San Antonio draws its gobblers
from all directions, with most of them
coming from the hill country to the
north. AS far as Mason in that di-
rection, turkeys are marketed on the
local produce row.
Shipments of turkeys for other than
every day demands have not begun
and are not expected until after a
cold snap, according to Mr.. Snyder
Meat shipped from here must be
through dressing plants not later
than November IS, he said, in order
to reach outside destinations fol

DEMANDS SHARE OF
HUSBANDS ESTATE
Mrs. Fisher Had Fled Skipper
Home In Fear twenty-five
Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago Mrs. Mar
garet c. Atkins Fisher, fled from her
home at Milton, because, according
to report, she feared that her hus-
band, Captain John F. Fisher, a mas
ter of schooners and a prominent
figure in maritime circles, would in
jure her.
Until recently Mrs. Fishers where
abouts were unknown. Fisher died
in Philadelphia last August. After
his wife left him he moved to Full
adelphia, where he lived with a mar
ried son, one of four children by a
former marriage.
Learning of her husbands death
few days ago, according to Phil
adelphia dispatch, Mrs. Fisher re-
tanned an attorney and began fight
for share in her husbands estate.
Captain Fisher died without making
a will. The value of his personal es-
tate is about $2,700. He and his wife
retained joint interest in property
valued at 100000.
1t was learned that since she left
her husband, Mrs. Fisher has been
as a designer in Philadel-
phia. Under the interstate laws of
she is entitled to one
third of her husbands estate, while
in this state she is entitled to one
half of the property in Delaware.
