How San Antonio May
Continue to Gain
Momentum

INERTIA may be loosely defined that property by
which matter tends when at rest to remain so, and
- when in motion to continue in motion. The law of
automobiles To stop is expensive because inertia must
be overcome again before progress can be resumed
San Antonians have overcome inertia More San
Antonans talking about and working for the Alamo
City today then at any time in its history More out
siders are interested in San Antonio.
The great force that has overcome inertia from
within and from without the force that has given the
initial impetus to progress and set into motion the ma
chinery of development is publicity.
Let us refer again to the physical properties OF
matter AS momentum increases additional energy is
required to retard progress Yet body will fin
ay to state of rest if the propeng force is not suf
ficenty great to overcome reardatve forces such as
friction and gravity,
The law of inertia applied to human affairs Is
recognized in the Biblical quotation ITO him that hath
shall be given" 1t is recognized in familiar sayings
such as: "a task we'll begun is half DONE, and The
first 500 is the hardest The hardest thing to do in
almost any undertaking is to start.
San Antonio by virtue of its inherent and acquired
advantages and not by the exercise of its own voton
has become the largest city in Texas But San Antonio
can longer hope to keep with the progress of the
Southwest unless conscious effort be made to increase
the momentum of its progress.
The constant application of the force of publicity
will accelerate positively the development which IS
under way already Inertia has been overcome. Let us
not waste time and money by stopping.

But we need not worry about

as our locks and window fastening

What we call bodily resistance

Throughout your life you may
have been light-hearted, gay and
spirited.
You have given little attention
to the serious things of life.
Suddenly you develop a desire to
be thought solid and substantial.
Your effort to fill that role is
failure because it is unnatural.
Your failure leaves you discour-
aged, disguised, dissatisfied.
But il it is not natural for you
to be calmy serene and slow OF

By DIR. FRANK CRANE

Both have their use.
We need the broad outlook to
remind us that we are not jewellers
here. but only campers, and that
our real home is somewhere beyond.
We need once in = while to think
Of the ground under onr feet and
all around us. This steadies us in
our thoughts of tho eternal.
We can very well after a fashion
get intoxicated with thinking Of vast
subjects. Those whose minds arc
constantly on the contemplation OF
death can hardly lead sane and nor.
NAL lives here.
On the contrary, those who look
only at this life lose that element OF
mystery and wonder that comes to
us from looking at the other.
We are jewellers by the sea. Once
in a while it does us good to raise
our eyes and look out toward thoss
vast distances, toward that ocean
upon which our fellows have voy'
aged never to return.

not a one of them, nor all Of them

It's good to be alone. 1t gives you

But loneliness! To feel out of it,
or misunderstood, or disliked! To
feel the lack of human sympathy !
To live in a large city and know
you don't belong!" To see happy,
eager faces, only TO compare them
with the soul hunger gnawing and
aching within! Not to be loved by
anybody or anything!
That is suffering! That is the

How can one counteract its devas-

"No Mans Land"

Indian Territory (now the state OF
Oklahoma). 1T was north of Tex
as, east of New Mexico and south
of Kansas. It did not belong to,
and was not subject to either OF
these states or the Territory, and
was a refuge for evildoers from
them all. The second "No Mans
Land" was q narrow strip of land
in Chester County, Pennsylvania
between Maryland and Delaware.
Years ago there was considerable
dispute over this bit of land, and
it led to confusion in the matters
of jurisdiction, the paying of taxes,
and the like.

Lagniappe seems to be a gesture
of generosity. Something thrown
in gratis out of a spirit of good
nature. What a splendid thing it
would be il more of this spirit were
displayed in the many relations Of
life!
supposing the workman, who, I'M
der the union rules, works exactly
eight hours a day were to throw in
an extra hour, occasionally, just out
of good nature. Or, supposing the
employer who pays his workmen &C.
carding to agreement were to throw
a few extra dollars into the pay en-
velope at the end of the week. Just
for "Iangniappe." Wouldn't it be
Nifty"
But the workman wants double
pay for his extra hour. And the
boss would think you were crazy
to suggest that be pay more than he
has to. So "lagniappe" will prob
ably not travel very far along in
dustrial lines.

it's another of this seasons string

charm is most reliable, the story
OF the little girl reared among plain
EngllSh-speaking folk who finds her
self heiress to throne in one of the

Central Europe. The performance
does not leave as much to sugges-
ton as IT might easily do and brings

it assists the situation. Mr.. Morosco
IN producing the play consults the
tastes OF those who prefer an artis-
tic consistency to happy ending.
But the happy ending has come to
be a part OF every story of the new
ly discovered princess. An affection
ate public will not readily dispense
with it any more than it would con-
sent to rewrite the denouement OF
Cinderella or Jack and the Bean
stalk. The cast is not OF uniform
merit and there will probably be re-
placements. One OF the touches OF
pathos in the playhouse which the
public never sees is the actor in the
auditorium, notebook in hand, study
ing a role with view to succeeding
