ments. For example, try to say
Viola" without giving your mouth
some good exercise. Each letter in
the word viola" demands a differ
cnt movement. 1t begins with a COM
preston of the lips, then the mouth
opens for the making of the letter
80, then the lips are drawn into a
circle for the "0"; the tongue cleaves
to the roof of the mouth to make the
a., and the "A" demands an open
downward compression of the lips.
So it is with every word We speak.
Each vowel or consonant must be
made with its own particular move
ment, or the word is mis-pronounced
When we consider the tremendous
amount of gymnastic exercise the
mouth must take during every con
versation, it seems strange our lip:

MOTHERS Of TEN
LEAVE BABES
ON CARS
Life Holds No Surprises
for Lost and Found
Department.

Babies enough to fill good sized
home for orphans and groceries enough
to feed them have been left on street
cars in San Antonio and turned over
to Office Craighcad, who has charge
of the Lost and Found" department.
Life holds no surprises for him, he
says.
Everything from apples to vans
has been left on the cars he said,
and if anything portable, begins with
II / believe it has been left too. By
joye,' he added, there have been
articles that begin with II left too
"a well known ginger cookie and a
certain magazine
BABIES ARE LEFT.
Babies, he said, are not at all I'M
usual in articles entrusted to his care.
Funny part of it is" he continued,
rs that sometimes we have to send
EN- to the police station because they
arc not called for before night"
One of the rules governing the de-
partment is that any, article not
called for by the owner within 80
days is returned to the finder During
the six months ending September so,
1902 articles were turned in and but
few remained the allotted 80 days.
No baby, as yet, has remained I'M
called for that long. 800
MORE UMBRELLAS
Umbrellas probably head the list of
cleft" articles, be says.
Although thousands of students use
the cars every school day, he says
that the number of school books left
is rather small.
Ladies' handbags are not unusual,
be said, but in many instances they
evidently "had spent down to car
fare" as but few cents would be
left, though sometimes considerable
sums are found.
LEAVE MONEY
Nearly $50, he said, was turned
in by a conductor on the last day OF
September, but it had not been there
long before the owner telephoned about
it and the money was delivered to her
when she called next day. .--
Bank deposits, with the slip made
out, were regularly left by woman
who lives on Alamo Heights for some
time, until the conductors formed the
habit of handing them to her when
she prepared to leave the car.
Many a man probably has gone
hungry or had but a snack because
the good wife left the meat or vege-
tables on the car, he said.
Nothing is. certain but the uncx-
pected, according to the old saw.
No surprises are left for the lost
and found man-for he expects any
thing. .r

The company is now erecting
$4,000 mixing plant and industrial

opened and widened S250,000.
An additional 500, 900 was spent on
new bridges. Work is progressing
rapidly on the new st. Mary's street
bridge and the one at Lanberts

two of a number built.
Construction of new storm sewers

100000.
IMPROVE PARKS.
One hundred Thousand dollars was
spent on improving the city's parks,
which number more than so.
Three new parks are being built
at the present time, the largest Of
which is the 210-acre sister park di-
rectly north of Breckenridge Park.
A 13-acre park and swimming pool
are practically completed on the tract
adjacent to the Mission pumping sta
ton, acquired with the purchase Of
the Water Supply Company.
The third park is being made at
Woodlawn lake. Commissioner LAM
