San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-07


An empire to the west that in years
to come will be dotted with green
fields Of waving grain and an inn
mense dairying industry. in all, equal
to the fertile territory that has Great
ed Chicago.
A Magic Garden of the Southwest
which has greater opportunities to
develop than far-famed California and
her citrus and truck crops. ~
A new world to the south, the rich
est on the globe, just coming from .
sleep of centuries, to pour out her
riches to her people.
And in the midst Of these three is
San Antonio, already sending out her
long fingers of steel to lay a network
of rails and good will that will raise
on the banks of the San Antonio river,
metropolis which will tower above
all others, when these vast empires
began to grow and expand.
S. A. NATURAL OUTLET.
That is the future of San Antonio,
the pearl that adorns the Great
Southwest that is to be, the Southwest
of years to come when the Valley will
supply the tables of the world with
fruit and vegetables, when the irrigat-
ed lands of West Texas will fill the
country's storehouses with cereals and
dairy products, when Mexico will take
her place as one of the leading ma
items of the world.
San Antonio already is the natural
outlet for West Texas.
She is rapidly drawing the Valley
toward her, and Mexico has felt her
friendliness and when the time comes
San Antonio will be the gateway
through which commerce between the
two nations will pas.
Great railroad systems which fore
tell the expansion of civilization have
looked into the future and see San
Antonio as the dominant figure in the
vast empire to be and are laying the
groundwork to throw a network Of
steel in all directions from the city.
RAIL WAR LOOMS.
Within two years the greatest rail-
road enterprises of the nation has
been centered on San Antonio, two
great systems openly in the field
fighting for supremacy and another
standing by awaiting opportunity.
The articles which have been pub
lished thus far have d t with the se-
tual, present day prosperity of the
city and have shown how San Antonio
is forging ahead to maintain leader
ship.
The masters of her destiny, the far
seeing business men who look into the
future, know that this is a critical
time and despite all opposition and
criticism they have made every blow
count, knowing that close behind them
are other cities who see the same
thing, and are throwing their entire
strength to forge ahead and take the
lead in the great inter-city battle TO
reign over the great commercial and
Industrial empire that is developing.
LIGHT IN FIGHT.
The San Antonio Light, realizing
that this city has the advantage of its
strategic location, has endeavored 10
back every movement TO keep San An
tonic far in the lead, that she may
reap the reward that is to come.
Now, when other cities are feeling
the press Of hard times, San Antonio
lis prosperous, The Light survey has
shown and the time is ripe when every
blow counts in the battle for suprfm.

San Antonio has three great fields
for development.

CONDITION
GOOD IN WEST
TEXAS
San Antonio Banker Is
Optimistic After
Visiting Section.

Cattle and crop conditions in West
Texas are good, with few exceptions,
in spite of the prolonged drouth, and
with the recent rains will be excellent,
according TO u. d. Bonner, vice prcsi-
dent of the Commercial National
Bank. Mr.. Bonner has just returned
from a 1000-milc trip throughout that
section extending from Maria and Fort
Stockton to Abilene and Midland and
points in between.
II found cattle and crop conditions
in West Texas good, surprising
ly so considering the prolonged
drouth," said Mr.. Bonner. with the
rains last week these conditions will
be excellent.
IN GOOD SHAPE.
AT Maria / found cattle in good
shape despite very dry weather. Cat
tie at Fort Stockton showed the eff
feet of lack of grass due to dry wealth
or. Cattle in the Approximation sec
ton were in very good shape.
Crops at Midland were short but in
pretty good shape. They were in need
Of rain. Crops in thu vicinity Of Abb
lcne were in good shape, some rains
having fallen, and indications we're for
fair cropS this season.
"At Graham dry weather retarded
crops. Cotton, however, was begin
ming to bloom. There should be a
good crop.
II found conditions at Cisco and
Coleman similar to those at Abilene.
BEST IN 90 YEARS.
Crop conditions at San Angelo
were good with the prospect for the
best crops in years. Everybody was
optimistic. Colorado City was the
most prosperous of all the points l Wis
tied. Crop conditions there were the
best. The town showed wonderful i'm.
provements and prosperity was reflect
ed everywhere. Those to whom |
talked declared the outlook the best
in 30 years.
."I was impressed with the steady
and solid development of the oil fields.
The day of the 'scalper' and lease ped
dlcr. and the fly-by-niGht promoter is
over and the work of large oil com
panics is an assurance of the steady
development of these sections and the
growth of the industry along sane and
conservative lines"

THAT ENDING.

never approved Of your ending, any
way!" .... ....
The hundred indignant readers who
loudly insisted was all wrong when
1 allowed Chickie's romance to van
ish in bitterness and tragedy, who all
but demanded the story be changed,
have now their vengeance.
This thought didn't keep the crccps
from running up and down my spine
when i saw my Chickic following a
path i purposely closed to her. Nor
did il keep me from all but calling
out, No! oh, he'd never do that!'
when Jake, for whom l confess an
infatuation, spurns Chickie.
DIFFERENT JAKE"
1t happened in the picture that
Chickie tells Jake her hidden, ap.
palling fear. He filings her with sur
rrising violence to the floor. This is
the traditional attitude of the old
fashioned roue, but the Jake of my
portrayal wasn't of their breed.
Had Chickie told him her story
girl wouldn't-he would have heard
her with warmth Of panied under
standing. He would have stcudicd her
in strong. gentle arms before going
with bowed head and saddencd heart
from the room.
DRAMATIC SCENE.
Why wouldn't that make a touch.

the movie heroes always make the

NEW HISTORIES
INTERESTING
TOPUP|LS
Dry Grind Eliminated and
Brevity Policy Followed
By Modern Writers.

United States history, written for
today, will not be the dry grind to
pupils Of the San Antonio public
schools, but one Of the interesting
and instructive narrative, according to
samples of volumes of history re-
ccived by the board of education. No
more will the story of our country be
a collection of dates, hard to rcmcm-
Der or memorizc, or the child's mind
burdcned by page after page of a mass
of uninteresting reading.
In no more striking difference is
the modern method of writing history
shown than in the description and
method of telling of the wars in
which the United States has been en-
gagged. In the sample volume, pub
lished in 1924, these are handled with
minimum of brevity.
PARAGRAPH TO REVOLUTION.
The early Indian and Colonial wars
are briefly passed over, sometimes
only a sentence being given them.
Just enough to tie them into the sub
jcct matter under discussion.
Only one paragraph is given the
Revolutionary War and that treats
with the military operations only, be-
ginning with the battle of Lexington
and ending with the battle of York
town. Only three dates are given,
those of the three most important bat
ties. Many pages, however, are given
to the causes which led up to the
war.
TREATED BRIEFLY.
One paragraph is given to the War
of 1872 and that cites only the i'm
portant events occurring on land and
sea. Texans may be surprised tC
learn that only one paragraph is given
to the Texas War for Independence.
1t is very short and tells only Of the
beginning of the war, the battle Of the
Alamo and the battle of San Jacinto.
The Mexican War of 1915 receives
two paragraphs and most of this ii
used in telling the why" of that wa.
The Spanish-American War is dis
missed with one paragraph beginning
at the battle of Manila and ending
with the peace treaty.
ECONOMICS AND POLITICS.
The largest space given is that to
the World War, and then only two
pages re necessary to tell of the
events during that war.
On the other hand, at the end oil
the book a great number of pages are
devoted to political, economic and so.
cial trends in the United States
Among those discussed at length are
the menace of Bolshevism, the five
power treaty, the four-power pact, the
limitation of naval armamcnts agree
mcnt, the swing from rural to urban
in population, social and moral urf'
rest and its causes, the increase in
education and immigration problems,
the trend of political parties, the rise
of the industrial era and the outlook
on world politics.

Strong Heart and Flexible
Joints Requisite to
Proficiency.
By BESS CARROLL

At last-something legal with a
kick in it has been found! There's
nothing still" about it, cither-it's
the Charleston, a dance that literal
ly is shaking a nation just now.
In the matter of figures and mo-
tons and speed, the Charleston is said
to have but one rival-thc st. Nitus.
All 1t takes to dance the Charleston
is a strong heart, an insurance policy
and limbs that are mostly joints
Also, it helps to be a chorus girl or a
ballet dancer or a tiSht-rope walker.
For there's more than one kick in the
Charleston, besides its side dips,
cross struts, and miscellaneous jazz
steps.
STORMING COUNTRY.
The Charleston is storming New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other
big cities of the East and West. 1t
seems to be bearing down from both
directions on the middle section oil
the country, and on the South. Yet,
though the Charleston is new and its
steps somewhat difficult for beginners,
it has already proven its popularity
in San Antonio. Miss Mary Howard,
San Antonio singer and metropolitan
star iutroduccd the dance in a down.

of the city's dance floors, the Charles
