HINTS FOR
VACATION
One Place Where You
Can ALWAYS Get Cool

No heat! no dust! There's an air
of romance at the beach.
That's why the beaches grow ever
more popular with vacationists and
week-enders. After trying motoring,
mountain golf resorts and long trips
north, most folks find that the safest
bet, after all, is the nearest seaside
city, with good beaches and good
hotel.
Jacksonville is gay today. The his
toric old city is drawing more and
more visitors every summer. The
Aragon Hotel, right in the center of
things, with its cool, spacious YER
anda, is delightful headquarters
from which to visit the sights of the
town or the perfect beaches near
by.
Motoring, boating, golfing, fish
ing, bathing, or Sightseeing diff
ferent program every day, if you
wish-and for evening pleasures,
the theatres, dancing, or the cafes.
It's a combination hard to beat,
no matter how far you might travel,
quickly reached and, by comparison,
very inexpensive.

Boys Must Pass Rigid
Tests Before They
Can Qualify.

Boy Scouts who will enjoy the "ole
swimmin' hole" at the scouts en-
campment at Landa Park, August 20
to so, will be fully taken care of and
protected while in the water by the
Boy Scouts Life Saving Corps which
has been organized for the camp by
Scout Commissioner Arthur Michael.
The corps is composed of those
scouts from the different troops in San
Antonio who have successfully COM
pletcd the rigid life saving tests pro-
vided by the Red Cross and Boy
Scouts manuals.
Before receiving their certificates
and emblems as first class life savers,
the boys must undergo strict qualifying
tests lasting over n period of six hours
In which the various styles of swim
ming and carrying a senseless body in
the water are gone through.
Next they are instructed how to
handle a person struggling in the wa
ter, how to break the various grips of
such person and bring them to safety
and the different methods of artificial
respiration necessary to restore a per-
son to life and consciousness.
The life saving corps is composed of
30 scouts who have received their GER
tificates as life savers.
This corps will attend the camp and
will be organized as a body and details
made to watch over and care for the
other scouts while in swimming or at
other Aquatic sports.
"This is only one of the many de-
tails that we have provided for the
care, safety and good health of the
boys while at camp" said Commission
er Michael.
eve want parents to rest assured
that all precautions will, be taken to
this end and that nothing will be left
undone to prevent any and all acct
dents while the boys are at the camp"

WORKER ON 'ONE-MAN' CAR
NEXT THING TO TWINS

Mr.. and Mrs. Public's expectation
that the motOTman-conductor of one
man street car be a sort of super
human capable of edoing five or six
things at the same time beside guiding
the car safely, gives operators of one
man street cars in San Antonio most
of their trouble.
Take the word of T. J. Owings, as
sistant superintendent of transporta-
ton for the San Antonio Public Ser
vice Company, for this statement.
Mr.. Owings is the man who has
charge of whatever disciplining is nee
essary among the trainmen, and the
man to whom all complaints emanat-
ing from street cars are referred.
ACTS AS TWINS.
Seldom, if ever, is "as busy as the
operator of a one-man car during
peak hours" heard used as an ex-
preston in connection with being ex-
tremely busy. But an operator dur
ing the rush" period is just about
as busy as anyone else who has sew
eral things to do simultaneously.
mo, sir, this is not the Beacon
Hill car" you are likely to hear him
say in the course of a run.
o Or it might be:
"Yes, ma'am, this car stops at Lo-
Gust street"
will you step nearer the back of
the car, please?"

ARMY ADOPTIN
EFFICIENCY
METHODS
Camp Normoyle Sets Pace
in Saving Money
and Effort.

Not so many years ago such a thing
as an efficiency expert in the army
would have been considered an an
omaly, and anyone who would have
had the temerity to suggest the in
stallatiOn of labor-saving devices
would probably have been considered a
fit subject for examination by medi-
cal board.
But time has changed the thought as
well as the complexion of the army,
and now announcement has been made
that there will be appointed efficiency
experts for all the corps areas.
Already efficiency measures have
been applied to the operation of the
huge motor. repair shops at Camp Nor
moyle, where Lieutenant Colonel w. F..
Terringshaw, depot commander, has
taken personal interest in improving
the service and lowering the cost OF
operating the plant.
REARRANGE DESKS.
One of the first things Colonel Her.
'ringshaw did when he took charge at
Normoyle was to order a rearrange-
ment of desks intall offices so that the
light would fall over the left shoulders
of the workers. An exception was
made of the typewriter desks, which
were placed so the light would be at
the typists' backs.
Workers had strenuous objections to
make until they found that the
changes had eliminated a constant
source of eye strain and headaches.
Parts used in repairing trucks are
hauled around the shops in electric
dOllies. Calculations showed that by
re-routing the supply trucks many
miles would be cut off the total dis
lance travelled each day. The change
in the route was made at the cost of a
concrete walk over part of the dis
lance, but this outlay was more than
justified in the saving of time and
effort.
USE NATURAL GAS.
Motors repaired at Normoyle are
tested for "a hours before they are
installed in trucks. Gasoline was for
merly used as fuel for running the
motors during the tests. 1t was also
used by mechanics in cleaning their
hands.
Gasoline is costly, and its use is
limited in quantity by appropriations
made for its purchase.
Natural gas was piped to the test
block to replace the more costly
fuel.
These are only a few of the many
changes that have ben made at Camp
Normoyle in the interest of greater eff
ficiency. They are all made with the
one idea of improving the operation of
the plant in the interest of the worker
as well as of the government.

RELIGIOUS MEETINGS

Twenty-three visits and talks were

A total of 1868 persons attended
these meetings which were held at

Many magazines, religious papers
and pamphlets we're distributed
through the month and an increasing
interest was shown by those attend

THIEF TAKES ENOUGH
LOOT FROM GROCERY
TO OPEN UP STORE

Jose Garcia Cartines, who runs a
grocery store at 1901 North Flores
street, believes he is going to have a
new business competitor.
At least, he said, burglars who
broke into his store Monday night
stole enough provisions to open up
another grocery.
While Cartines was sleeping in his
rooms above the store, providers en-
tered through a side window and stole
80 pounds of lard, 80 pounds of sugar,
Is pounds of salt bacon, 10 pounds of
sweet potatoes. hoop of cheese and
two cartons of cigarettes.

WINTER GARDEN
PECAN RANCH
PLANNED BY
{. A. MAN /
700 Acres to Be Planted
in Nuts at Cost of
S25O,000

The Winter Garden district. in San
Antonio's trade territory between this
city and the fertile Rio Grande Var
ley, will see a 700-acre pecan ranch
containing $4,000 producing trees in
side of six years, if an undertaking
planned by Robert S. Allnutt, 622
Gunter building, is carried through
successfully.
Mr.. Allnutt recently acquired the
title to the 73G-aCre Hugh Ward ir-
rigated farm a short distance above
where the FIio and the Leona rivers
merge, between Pearsall and Dilley.
and it is this place which he plans to
convert into a pecan ranch. In ths
course of five years, if Mr.. Allnutts
plan succeeds, $250,OOO would be spent
on the project.
ALWAYS GOOD MARKET.
1.-Two hundred acres already are fit
for cultivation. and this winter / plan
to clear 400 more acres Of trees" Mr..
Allnutt said.
Il was attracted to the idea of
establishing a place where the produc-
ton of pecans on a large scale could
be had for several reasons, chief
among them being that no matter what
the crop of pecans is, there always is
a ready market for them. This is due,
l think, to the fact that such a very
small percentage of people in the
world are acquainted with tie nut
and no matter how great the produc-
ton, new consumers to whom it is
gradually being introduced do away
with any surplus"
WILL PLANT GRAPES.
Mr.. Allnutt and his associates win
inter-plant with grapes of the seedless
variety recommended by G. ]. Moore,
formerly of the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass railway, until the pecan trees
come into full bearing. Then the
grapes will be removed. he said. Ir-
rigation will be furnished by an eight
inch 1600-foot artesian well on ths
north end of the property, and another
like well which will be drilled. he said.
Native pecan trees from three to
eight years old found in the bottoms
of the Frio. Nueces and Leona rivers
will be transplanted and topworked
with paper shell pecan buds to insure
an earlier production than if younger
trees were set out on the property, Mr..
Allnutt said.
Mr.. Moore will be resident manager
of the plantation.
