which said in part:

Of the latter.
The loss was not noticed by Mrs.

DETECTIVES Harris and Herbst
answered the call sent in from the
theater and assisted the management
in a search OF the building, exhaust
ing the possibility that it had been
lost rather than stolen.
The Richards arrived in the city
Sunday from the Pacific coast. Rep
resenting their life savings, the money
was to be invested in a small bust
ness in San Antonio, where they had
come to repin their health.
With the banks closed on account
of Labor Day, it was impossible TO
deposit the money, Monday.

Deaths Among Babies Show
Substantial Decrease
for This Year.

. Infant mortality in San Antonio
is on the decrease.
Through the efforts of the city
health department, which maintains a
free clinic and a corps of trained
nurses, the death rate among children
under two years of age gradually is
being cut down. A further reduction
is in sight.
Although births for the first six
months of 1925 exceeded those for the
same period for the last two years,
there were fewer deaths as compared
with 1924, figures compiled by City
Registrar d. w. McGee, show. Dur
ing the first six months of 1925 there
were 2033 births. During the same
period there were 39G deaths among
children under two years of age.
With the total number of births in
the first six months of 1924 at 2O21,
there were 4G6 deaths among infants.
In 1923 there were 354 deaths among
children, with the total number of
births only 1850.
DIR. w. A. King. city health officer,
is in charge of the city's free clinic
and the public health nurses. 1t is
to the latter that he gives credit for
cutting down lie infant mortality
rate.
Miss Delight Stone, head Of the
nurses department., maintains a
schedule for other nurses and the
homes of the poorer classes in San
Antonio are visited regularly. Moth
ers are given advice as 10 the proper
cal, of their young offsprings and
are furnished with medicine and other
essentials.
Our work is just beginning 70
show results" Miss Stone said. With
improved facilities for the treatment
of children at our free clinic we ex-
pect n cut down the mortality rate
still further"

TEST PURITY
!. FOR C|TY'S
. USAGE.
Project Plan Will Keep
: San Antonio River
From Going Dry.

Possibilities of the Olmos dam pro-
ject creating a reserve water sup
ply for San Antonio were seen in
tests being made by the city Tuesday.
al we find no impurities in the
wat' it will be piped into the San
Antonio river, which will eliminate
any possibility of, it ever going dry
as was threatened by the drouth this
summer" Mayor John w. Tobin an
nounced.
We're not necessarily making the
tests to see if the water will do for
drinking purposes" the mayor re-
piled when asked.
The Cara dam, a $3,00O,OOO pro-
ject in Dallas, similar to the retention
dam being erected on the Olmos by
the city, will be used to supply the
North Texas city.
Colonel S. p. Crecelius, food pre-
vention engineer, inspected the dam
a few weeks ago.
Although the artesian wells, from
which the water department gets its
supply, held up satisfactorily during
the dry weather this year, there is a
possibility that in other years the
flow will become inadequate.
This is verified by the small flow
of the San Antonio river at the
present time.
The flow from two additional wells
in Breckenridge Park were turned
into the river last week.

WRIGHT RAPS
:. BOULEVARD
SYSTEM
Police Commissioner Says
Rule Is Unnecessary
in San Antonio.

San Antonio will not get boule-
ward system. 81.
Declaring that such traffic law
would be a constant menace to pub
lie safety, Fire and Police Commits
sioner Phil Wright recommended that
the petition for a boulevard system,
presented by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce last week, be refused, at
the council meeting, Tuesday after
noon.
The boulevard system requires all
drivers on the cross streets to come
to a dead stop before crossing the
boulevard, while the drivers on the
boulevard are permitted to run at
top speed without restraint or re-
sponsibility," Commissioner Wright
reported.
RULE UNFAIR
with all responsibility resting on
their shoulders, the drivers on the
cross streets must cross the race track
or so-called boulevard carefully and
cautiously, or some car on the boule-
ward will knock them sky-high," the
report continued.
'The driver of every motor vehicle
should exercise due caution and be
held equally responsible under the law.
The boulevard system, to my mind,
is so manifestly unfair it should not
be installed unless the traffic on a
street has become so congested moth
ing else can be done"
Chief I. o. Miller and Captain Gus
Klockenkemper made thorough sur
yeys of the traffic conditions on the
suggested bouleyards during the past
week.
MAKE TEST DRIVES
Test drives were made and count
of the number of passing automobiles
was taken between 4 80 and $50
p. m.
On Broadway the number of cars
passing per hour was HOS; West
Commerce street, S65; North Flores
street, SAT; South Flores street, S3S;
East Commerce street, So; South
Presa street, sol; Garden street, 776;
Main avenue, 633; San Pedro avenue,
610; West Houston street, $50; and
Eoot unuStnp cfrnnt oO7
THE driving tests showed the loss
of time due to interference from
cross street traffic amounted to only
is seconds per hour of travel. Com
missioner Wright averred.
Another argument used against the
system is that in Dallas and Hous-
ton the only two cities in Texas where
the system was inauguratcd, more
than 65 per cent of autoists violate
the law.
Both cities have a greater death
rate also," Mr.. Wright said.
A recent report issued by the gov
crnment showed San Antonio with the
second smallest death rate in the
United States for a city with more
than 100000.
Il believe this good showing is
