ply accuses Doctor Hornaday OF ego
tism, conceit and an imperfect knowi-
edge of conditions throughout the
country"
President John E. Burnham OF the
American Game Protective and Prop
agation association has this to say
among other things, as to Doctor Hor-
naday's charges:
This attack on me and on the BIO
logical Survey was carefully planned
as the opening gun of a campaign
against the Federal Game Refuge DILL
1 have been getting letters from the
West warning me against an attacA
which was to be sprung In New YORK
Commercial game dealers, opponents
of tho Migratory Bird law, advocates
of spring shooting of ducks, and that
type of men. are all aware how Doc'oI
Hornaday Is being used This Is not
in any way to be construed as a renee
ton on Doctor Hornadays personal
character, which is of the highest But
he Is easily led by rien with Interior
motives, who have taken advantage OF
his disappointment over the failure OF
his cam paign for the arbitrary cutting
of bag limits.
Doctor 4ornaday is the only out

Doctor Hornaday publicly asserts
that his efforts to reduce the federal

migratory game birds are being frus-
trated by manufacturers OF arms and
ammunition. These, he claims, exert
their influence through John B. Burn

brings pressure to bear upon the bu-
reau of Biological Survey OF the De

100000 Population
For San Antonio
In 1896

~ HAT San Antonio Will have population OF oOO-
900 by 1886 is the prediction confidently made
u by Mayor John W Tobn and others. If San
Antonio enters the hamiion class by the end of the
coming ten-year period its present population must be
little more than doubled.
It has been said that the ratio of population growth
normally tends to decrease with the growth of the city,
In other words the small normally will double its
population rapidly than large city, although the
latter will have larger numerical increase.
This assumption, however, is probably based on
averages and not applied to many notable cases
of city growth and is seldom if invariably true
throughout the of the growth of the average city
In 1880 Chicago had population of 503,185 In
1890 the population had more than doubled.
Since 1870 the population of Los Angeles has
doubled or nearly doubled during each decen-
mum. The ratio of population increase in Los Angeles
probably will be greater this decennium than during any
in its history with the possible exception of the period
from 1900 to 1910
If the population increase in San Antonio within the
next ten years $4,000 100000, this city will not
have broken any record.
We can not begin too soon to appreciate the fact
that the era of development in South and Southwest
Texas is far from its meridian The great advances
made during the last few years have covered scarcely
fraction of the resources and possibilities of this state
Nor can we begin too soon to realize that the of
development has begun.
Every sign favors the prediction that San Antonio
will have population of 100000 by 1885, There no
insurmounable obstacle the way to this achievement
Precedent is in favor of this city.
San Antonio has everything and little more than
other American cities. Conditions that have contributed
to the wealth and population of Americas mammoth
cities are becoming manifest in the territory of which
San Antonio is the capital.

With some of the customs also
there must have been some mystic or
religious significance.
Many people carry rabbits

a sort Of charm.
Thus, often unconsciously we
moderns subscribe to ancient ideas,

Modern woman has. Of course,
made self-adornment necessary
art.
Nor has it been modern woman
only. Clothes and jewels have been
a sort of passion to the female sex
for centuries.
Man is not exempt from self
adornment either, although he is
more conservative, changes style
less often. and does not bedeck him
self with jewels as much as his
sisters.
Savage males, however, are just
as prone to succumb TO self-adorn-
ment as savage females.
The purpose Of this article is not
to decry self-adoi nment.
Only should it be denounced if it
beroaves an oyer-powering passion
for which more worthwhile things
are sacrificed.
Women who will lose their self
respect in order TO get clothes and
jewels, are not the kind that make
the best society or the best wives
and mothers. That goes without
saying.
Such women simply are over.

There is keen rivalry between

Labor Day has come and gone.
In the midst of a good deal of po-
litical bunkum that is given to the
public on the matter, it is refresh
ing to find an article by Kathleen
Norris on the value of labor to
women.
A hundred years ago, she points
out. it was beneath woman's dig
nifty to do any kind Of useful work
except homework. All she could do
was to cultivate her accomplish
ments and get ready to be married.
She could paint on china or give
music lessons or teach school, but
not do nursing. study medicine or
engage in office work or anything
of that kind.
A girl who had to employ her
talents in making money was I'M
fortunate and was looked down up
on by her fellows.
In some circles this is true to-
day. Some women and most men
have a way of looking down upon
the working woman. But in spite of
that the working woman has come
to the top.

Once upon a time, it is said, an
ancient was struck by a great idea.
He put a huge bellows in the
stern of his sail boat. When the
breeze stopped blowing he tried to
proPel the boat forward through the
calm BY blowing wind into the
sails.
The little essential detail be had
overlooked was that the force Of the
air being driven from the bellows
would Offset the force Of the air
against the sail.
For the forward movement Of
the breeze in the sail there was the
backward movement from the air
expelled from the bellows.
Reaction equaled action and he
stood still.
He was up against the unacceptable
law Of nature. the law of compensa-
tion.
Men Of all centuries have tried
frantiSally to climb over, crawl I'm

this inpregnsble wall, and in vain.

EXPECTATION OFLIFE
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

Great improvement in health sta
tistics may be accounted for by
these community activities. But an
even greater factor in increasing the
expectation of life is found in the
observance of the simple rules of
personal hygiene.
Everybody knows now that you
cannot be well if you have decayed
and Assessed teeth, bad tonsils or
neglected intestines. Ventilated
sleeping and living rooms, the avoid
ance Of dust and the practice of
cleanliness are given thought by
every well-informed person. Exer-
else, sunlight, sensible working
hours. well-balanced meals and ap.
pealing recreation have added years
to every life.
The eight-hour day, one rest day
in seven, a vacation every year and
the avoidance of unnecessary fatigue
are vital factors in the improved
conditions. A more philosophical at
titude toward life has done away
with much unnecessary worry and
fear.
You have 1t in your mind to de-
terminc-within reasonable limits,
at least-how long you are to live.
While the expectation Of life may
be much greater for the race, what
it is to be for you individually de-
ponds on your own cooperation
with the public officials.

Labor Day and Women
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

We are now accustomed to seeing
girls not only in offices and shops,
but girls taking up the study of the
various professions. There are wom-
en- lawyers and women doctors, and
there is no reason why woman
should not do any kind of useful
work as well as men; that is, any
work she is qualified to do.
Modern conditions of life do not
call for strenuous muscular ability.
They call more for mental agility,
and women are as proficient men,
tally as men.
Recent investigations show that
they make as good automobile driv-
ers and doctors as do their male
companions, and doubtless in most
fields women are justified in TAX
ing an interest.
OF course marriage and the bring
ing up of a family are woman's
legitimate destiny, but the best way
to prepare for this is to be independ-
emit of it and not to be forced to
marry for economic reasons.

A few weeks ago the New York
State Department of Health put
out some interesting facts relating
to the expectation of life. The re-
port mentions 1910 when the aver
age age in New York was twenty
four and half years. 1t contrasts
this with 1925 when the estimated
average age is thirty and quarter
years. This represents an increase
Of almost six years.
To have a gain Of this amount
there must be a material lengthen-
ing of life. 1t is probable the average
duration of life has increased fif-
teen or twenty years since 1910.
These figures are SO interesting
that I will give you another en-
couraging statement. The expecta-
ton of life of a baby born in 1923
in New York City is almost ten
years greater than it was in 1901.
Public health education has ac-
complished this. Perhaps l should
say public health education plus vol
ultary and enforced practice OF
health giving methods.
The publication of the milk sup
ply comes first among the measures
which make for health. Pure water
is given every community and the
authorities demand protection of
the foodstuffs. Some of the in
fectious diseases have been driven
out BIZ successful scientific attack.

BartenderS' Union

r ERE is astounding news. The American Fedora
RI ton Of Labor, in convention at Atlantic City,

members the Barenders international Union Can this
still be thus?
And this union reports membership Of q 900!
Shades of Gambrnus Are there $1,000 bartenders in
the United States today? And are they tending bar?
II so, where are the bars?
Surely no bartender of olden days would stoop to
dispense the stomach-chling output Of saltwater
fountain and still pay his dues as union bartender
Can it be possible that there $4,000 bars where the
ancient spirit still lingereth?
