There was no palatial lounge and

not enjoy the luxury Of private

with mts, women and children. He
notes that the deck above his head
was so low that though Seated on his
trunk writing his journal, he could
not SIT erect The space between
decks was little more than three feet
He complains or the rough weather

passengers were seasick. There is,

quality of he drinking water, which
did not improve in the two months re-

Ziegfeld Draws on Alamo
for Setting of New
Success.

New York has drawn upon historic
and picturesque San Antonio for color
for its latest theatrical success.
And the Alamo City has delivered.
The reception given the San An
tonic numbers in the Ziegfcld Follics
of 1925, produced at the Amsterdam
Theater by Flo Ziegfeld, world-famcd
producer of follies, is proof positive of
this fact.
New York audiences, ever critical,
have been swept off their feet by this
latest offering.

sic by Raymond Hubbell and Dave

Tobin Says.

City officials are convinced that a

day of weapons and instruments used
by them. The discovery was made by
Olmos Dam workmen.

s. A. POSTOFFICE
FIGURES SHOW
INCREASE
Receipts Indicate City Fast
Boosting Outside
Business.

Postal receipts, which serve as a
business barometer indicative of the
commerce carried on in a city, show
that San Antonio steadily is increas-
ing the amount of business which
passes through the doors of solely To-
cal firms and also outside houses with
branch offices here.
Postal receipts for June, July and
August, 1925, showed an increase
averaging around s per cent over the
same three months in 1924, according
to figures on file in the office of Post
master P. G. Lucas.
This, business men say, is a fair
indication of the rate at which a city'S
business is going forward because a
great amount of merchandise figured
in a city's total is sold to out-of-
town customers, and great portion of
this passes through the mail.
FINE AVERAGE.
In spite of drouth conditions which
apparently would have made buying
less, postal money received for all
classes of service for the last three
months has been near 100000 month
~, and in. no one month lower than
$4,000.
The first 10 days in September
showed an excellent average, figures
show, but this is explained by the fact
that several large businesses, which
do much fall directly mail and cata-
log advertising, were shipping this
matter during the latter part of Au-
gust and the first of September.
500 INCREASE.
4 comparison of money taken in at
the local postoffice shows: June, 1924,
ST., 9S3.31, increased to $SS,G67.76 for
June of this year; July, 1924, $780,
1850, increased to $SS,319O4; and
August, SIS, 1O753, increased this year
to SSS,913.09.
The first 10 days of September
which showed such a good promise of
being a banner month due to the ad-
vertising matter mailed, revealed that
there was little more than 500 in
crease over the same advertising period
last year.
For this year, the amount was 1884,
966.63, while a year ago it was 1884,
S6195.

of the huge bowl. Then the prisoners
were taken away from him for polit-

COST SMALL.

Street Commissioner Paul Steffler
Tuesday took up the battle cry for an
amphitheater. He first mentioned the
present rock quarry and then remem-
bered that the city already had bet
ter site. So now he is committed TO
that.
The seats, according to Commission
err Lambert could be chiseled out Of
the solid rock forming the walls of the
natural bowl. Ample room for huge
stage remains within.
And Commissioner Lambert plans a
scenic tunnel between the amphitheater
and the Japanese sunken garden, adj
joining. A Venetian scene, with Condo
las running between the garden and
the amphitheater is one of his plans.
The cost of the whole project, Com
missioner Lambert believes, would be
small.
SAN ANTONIANS LIKE PLAN.
San Antonians, beginning with
Mayor TObin. favor the PROJECT, the
only question with city officials being
the acquisition of the funds. This is
what they say:
IAN amphitheater which easily
could be built in the natural setting
afforded by the abandoned rock
quarry at Breckenridge Park would
be a wonderful asset to San Antonio"
Mayor John W. Tobin declared.
1--WE have an ideal setting and could
build something which would eclipse
anything in this country" the mayor
said. "But-we can't do it now. We
haven't the money and we're just
building a big auditorium. That is one
of our achievements we must leave 10
the future"
