This theme will be carried out by
the pupils sketching their own lie

be most effective in making the home
beautiful and then reproducing their
ideas in draperies, fire screens and

San ANTONIO IS GROWING
OWN FLORAL OFFERINGS

For "a years the Hauser Floral
company has been supplying San An
tonic and the adjacent territories
with cut flowers and floral offerings
of all kinds. For 80 years the COM
pany was located on East Commerce
street. From there it moved to the
site now occupied by the Palace Thea
ter and remained there for IL years.
The next move was to the present
home which is in the Gibbs building.
According to Frank II. Hauser, the
company has enjoyed satisfactory
business this past season and at
present is preparing for large win
ter business.

FLOWERS GROW HERE.

Most of the flowers used are flow
ers grown in San Antonio. Mr..
Hauser believes that San Autonians
should patronize home industry first.
In fact, during the dark days of 1920
and 1921, the Hauser Floral com
pany became one of the few bright
spots.
Not only has the Hauser Floral
company succeeded in getting large
business, but it has grown from week
to week and is still growing.p In fact.
it has grown so rapidly that even
some of its old friends were not ac-
quainted with the fact that it can and
is producing some of the most attrac-
tive floral offerings in this section of
the country.
I'VE take an interest in your work,
make suggestions if you want them.

order is large or small, We endeavor
to do our utmost to please you,' stat

Just a Death
Benefit

Editor of The Times:
TINE Government Employees Re
i tirement Fund is created by
Withdrawing from each employees
salary $3.50 a month. Thus has
been accumulated a sum in the
Treasury of the United States
of S37, 900, 900 belonging entirely
to the clerks and not to the
Government.
Unfortunately. this sum was
placed at the disposal of Congress,
which, session after session, de-
clines to accede to the requests
of the clerks for an increased
annuity, which is theirs by right
of having the money and TO
meet the increased cost of living
About the average annuity is
$45. which will just pay the
hoard of a clerk, with nothing left
for clothes, medicine, washing,
etc.
Congress will not even act On
the bills that have been offered
for the relief of the clerks by
increasing the annuity and low
ering the age of retirement. AS
the act now stands it is just
about a death benefit. Yet these
same Congressman who refused
to increase the annuities of these
poor wretches. voted themselves
an increase of $4,000, which sum
is more than the average clerk
receives for salary per annum.
AS there seems to be no future
in sight for this bill to pass, can
you tell us how to get this sum
out of the hands of Congress
altogether? | am sure you must
be in sympathy with the Govern
ment clerk-as he is the chief
industry of Washington-which
has no other, no factories or big
business-every activity feeds
off of and exploits the Govern
ment clerk. He keeps the stores,
churches, street cars. food stores,
real estate men, and all others
going.
Not to consider his fate is TO
invite Socialism-the rank and
file were not treated right in re-
classification nor in the retire
ment matter.

on the southern half Of the globe
must tend to make the southern
summer, as a whole, milder and
more equable than the northern,
Notwithstanding the greater near
ness of the sun, the effect of
which, at maximum. is only q
per cent increase of solar heat.
OF course, do not mean to say
that there are no extremely high
summer temperatures south of the
equator. The argument only APP
plies to the hemisphere as whole.
And, on the other side, we must
remember that not only is the
southern winter seven days longer
than ours, but it occurs when the
earth is farthest from the sun. We
ought, therefore, to find the south
ern winters colder than the north
ern. The immense Recovered
Antarctic continent and its vast
encircling ice fields indicate that
this is so. But here again the
presence Of the great southern
oceans probably ameliorates the
climatic conditions, making the
land temperatures less severe
than they would otherwise be.

"A discussion by you of the
relation Of the earth and sun
during the different months
will be sincerely appreciated.
understand that the earth is
closer to the sun by about g.
100000 miles in January than
in July. Do the South ATTITUDES
receive more solar heat in jan
uary than the north ATTITUDES do
in July?-W. A. t., Detroit"
r HAVE already discussed this
subject from the point Of
view of the northern hemi-
sphere. But the world on the
other side of the equator is so
rapidly filling up, while keeping
step in other respects with its
elder brother of the North, that
it's problems are of growing in
terest for all.
Now, the months of April, May,
June July and August together
with the last eleven days of
March and the first twenty-five
days of September, belong to the
summer half of the year in the
northern hemisphere, while the
months of October, November, De-
cember January and February,
together with the last eight days
of September and the first twenty
days of March belong to the sum-
mer half of the year in the South
ern hemisphere.
In the southern half of the
world it Is midsummer on the
22d of December while at the
same time it is midWinter on the
northern half. Conversely it is
midsummer in the north on the
21st of June, while at the same
time it is midwinter in the south.
Warmer in South.
The earth is nearer the sun
about January 3 and farthest from
the sun about July 8. But, OF
course, the changes of distance are
not sudden but gradual. This can
be seen if we calculate the dis
tances of the earth from the sun
at the beginning of each month IN
succession.
On January 1 the distance is
about 81 $40, 900 miles; on t'ebru-
arv l, 91,54O,000; on March /,
90 ,O60 900; on April 1. 92,85O,OOO;
on May l. 93,6O0,000; on June l.
94.15O,OOO; on July /, 1880, 200; on
September l, 93,74O,000; on October
/. 92,99O.O00; on November /, o.
100000, and on December l, 81
$4,000.
This shows that all of the south
ern summer months Including
spring and autumn), receive more
solar heat than do the correspond
ing summer months.
Consequently, the southern sum-
mer should be somewhat warmer
than the northern. But II you
will count the days from March 20
to September %, and then from
September % around the rest or
the wear back to March 20. you
will find that the northern sum-
mer half OF the year is seven days
longer than the southern. This
is because the earth travels faster
when il is nearer the sun, and
SO passes from the autumn equl-
nox to the spring equinox quicker
than from the spring equinox to
the autumn equinox.
Effect of Seas.
Now, since some of the summer
temperature is due to aCCumula-
ton of heat during the time when
the day is longer than the night
,as It always is in summer t1mel,
the relative shOrtnesS of the south
ern summer has a tendency 10
ameliorate the climatic effect pro
duced by greater nearneSS to the
sun.
But a more marked ameliora
+iOn results from the fact, Whclh
is very striking when you look
at a globe Of the earth, that the
southern hemisphere is decidedly
water hemisphere in contradis
finction from the northern. which
is lust as decidedly a land hemis
nhere. This prevalence of water
