The figures of the Census Bureau
show, that in spite of the natura! pop
ulation increase of nearly one and
half million from 1923 to 1924, the
number of marriages in that time
dropped from 1.223.924 to 1.178,20G. or
al per cent, while the number OF
divorces grew from 1855, 096 to 170.S67.
In 1923 there were 10 divorces fci
every "a marriages, but in 1924, the
same number of couples got divorces
for every SO marriages. Texas, the
biggest State, had the biggest divorce
list, and Illinois and Ohio followed
after. New York had the most mar
riages and Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Texas We're next.
Divorces in States do not indicate
social trends, as IL rule, but are gen
orally dependent on the nature of the
local divorce laws instead.

Offers Profitable Support
for Plants Consuming
Raw Products.

San Antonio is in the heart of the
greatest undeveloped districts in the
world. Many thousand acres are be-
ing opened to the pillow and new kinds
of crops are being planted.
As the district grows, San Antonio
grows. In an attempt to keep pace
being set by this great section, San
Antonio must get new industries.
Here are some Of the things that
Southwest Texas and San Antonio
need and would favorably support:
1. Cotton and wooden mills, which
would use wool and cotton direct from
the producer in West Texas and make
it possible to establish more manufac-
turing plants of women's and mems
wearing apparel, etc., and which could
export their products to distant mar
kcts and compete favorably with other
manufacturers located in the largest
market centers.
TANNERIES NEEDED.
2. More tanneries to convert our
raw hides into various kinds Of
leather.
8. A glucose factory which could
use the corn produced in West Texas
and supply Texas manufacturers with
that material.
4. A pulp factory which could eco
nomically use tho different fibers
growing in West Texas and make 1t
possible to establish manufacturing
plants of wrapping paper, paper poN
board, building board and roof cover
ing.
5. A number of dehydrating plants
to dry grapes, figs, peaches, sweet
potatoes and other fruits and yege'
tables, in order to induce the growers
to increase their production and ex'
port same in a similar manner as
practiccd by other vegetable and fruit
raising communities.
6. A mandatory Of fire brick, re-
torts and terra Gotta.
z. The installation of coke ovens
which could utilize our vast deposits
of bituminous coal and make it pos.
sible to smelt our great deposits OF
iron ore at profit.
MONEY NEEDED.
There are numerous other possibili'
ties as big but TO reach the parties
which could be interested in these I'M
limited resources is our problem, fol-
il takes money to bring about neces'
sary DEVELOPMENTS. Every, one Of
these undertakings will ultimately b
a profitable investment and 1t is mere
/ " a matter of time, as such great
possibilities cannot lie idle muci

San Antonio's history is the most
nwe-inspiring and unique Of any city
in America. The city is surrounded
BY missions. battlefields and relics Of
early Spanish conquests and struggles
for freedom from the tyrants Of Mex

Alamo. whose history stirs the heart
Of every Texan and whose duty 1t is
they feel, to keep alive the memory
of the men who gave their lives with
in its walls that the liberty Of Texas
might be preserved. Here it was
that William Barretta Travis, DAVID
Crockett and James Bowie, with $50
followers, took their stand against
Santa Anna and his Mexican troops,
knowing that such a stand meant GER
tain death TO every one of the gar
rison. Here il was they persisted,
these stalwart frontiersmen. No one
remained 70 tell Of the terrible
slaughter Of Santa Annals ultimate
triumph.
During the course of its history,
San Antonio has passed under the
shades Of six flags-Spain. France,
Mexico and Lone Star Of Texas, the
Stars and Bars Of the Confederacy,
. and the Stars and Stripes. No other
city in America can boast of as va
ried history.
Nature has wonderfully blessed San
Antonio with a climate that is nc
where else equaled in the United
States, having as it does 800 days Of
sunshine each year and furnished tC
the tourist everything that he could
possibly wish, hunting. fishing. motor
ing. bathing. polo. golf and tennis.
Within 40 miles Of San Antonio
reached by improved roads is Medina
Lake, the sportsman's paradise. Fish
ing and boating can be enjoyed
throughout the year; its waters teen

HISTORIC CHARM.

Such was the birth of this great
American city, now the metropolis Of
an empire, a paradise Of beauty
which has never lost its individuality,
its classic charm, its typical Spanish
color and its lure for the traveller. for,
following the example Of the Holy
Fathers, there have been pilgrimages
to this city through its 200 years Of
growth; pilgrimages for adventure, for
wealth. for health. and for devotion.
