THE year of 1924 closes with 20
troops, 20 adult lenders (volunteer),
and 454 girl SCOUT
During the year OF 1921. the girl
scouts have given e9s hours to com
munity service, a part Of this time
given to knitting the slumber robes.
The commissioner and leaders have
through work of this kind tried to
make the scouts feel that their duty
is to the community and all that
they can do for others. instiiling the
idea that scouting means service
and first OF all service TO the com
munity in which they live.

BY IL. B. DURHAM.

In this enlightened country,
where the influence of the church
las been such an important factor
ln the progress upward OF our
eople, it is not difficult to answer
lat question.
We have our school houses every
where because we believe in educa-
ton. in enlightenment. We believe
that an intelligent people are a safe
and a happy people. But we can
not afford to have the schoolhouse
sppplant the church sphere. Both
should arise and stand side by side.
The spiritual values of life are by
all odds the most important values,
and, too frequently. unless contact
is had with churches, there is a lack
OF development Of a proper regard
for high spiritual values.
We may criticize the church, and
its imperfections will be admitted
even by those who r its most ar
dent opponents, but honesty will
compel thinking folks to admit that
the church has been the great spirit
uslizl~s Influence of all time. How
AYef poorly it's adherents may have
nrscticed its teachings, the church
has been teaching those spiritual
virtues of faith. humility. honesty
and unselfishness, that have been
the humanizing influence which
has brought the race up from bar
barism to this good hour.
Men seek places where churches
are In which to rea their families.
One man said to me the other day
that he had not been to church for
a long time. but that his boy was
% going to be old enough for
sunday school. and he was going TO
start going again. That is fine
50 with your boy-but who. pray.
has the obligation of maintaining
the church until that time?
And then. is 1t not possible that
this mans spiritual life would be
beiicfiited by a quiet hour of wor.
hip, ct least once a week. where he
could forget the things that perish.
and for one hour think on those
things that are eternal. l.. G.: The

100000 Of Recent Bond
Issue to Be Used on
Roads and Bridges.

With another 81 100000 bond issue
just approved for municipal improve
ments, Paul z. Steffler, commission
err of streets, is outlining a tentative
program of street and bridge work.
Excepting the 100000 needed TO
complete the 100000 municipal
auditorium, the entire sum will be
expended on street opening, widening
and paving projects. Fifty thousand
dollars will be spent on new storm
and sanitary sewers, which work is
done under the supervision of the
street department.
Opening and widening of streets
will require the greatest portion of
the new issue, S450,O0O. according to
Commissioner Stefrer.
One hundred thousand dollars will
be expended on three new concrete
bridges, one of which will replace
the bridge now spanning the San An
tonic river on Fourth street.
The remaining 100000 will be used
for the paving of streets alone.
One of the widening projects, start
ed recently, is the widening of Mar
ket street.
This project will be one of the first
to be considered since the approval OF
the new bond money.

past, the lobo roved from Mexico to
Alaska but unlike the coyote, he
did not flourish under civilization and
is about extinct. except where he may
be found in ZOOS. There is one lobo
in the Breckenridge Park ZOO.
