Get the Habit and the
World Will Laugh
With You.

San Antonio has a lot to be thank
full for this Thanksgiving.
Take Jimmie English, for instance.
Just look at her smile in that pic
ture. But Jimmie could smile last
Thanksgiving, too, when the world
ahead looked bleak and dark, and life
in a hospital ward was her only out
look.
Scientists have learned a great deal
about smiles lately. 1t seems wncn
you smile, you kinda start your good
nature oscillating and you broadcast
happiness. And everybody near you
can't help but tune in.
People don't know how much they
really can smile. just look around
your office. your school room or whar-
ever you happen TO be. and see how
many people you can see smiling.
SMILING EASY.
In fact, some lOng-whiskered scieu-
fist has figured it out, that it takes
thirteen muscles to produce smile,
while it takes 50 to 147 to frown.
In one of the pictures you see Miss
Olivia Baldessareli, 135 Ancona Placs,
who can smile one of those smiles that
is contagious like the scarlet fever or
the Charleston. When the cameraman
asked Miss Baldessareli for her pic
ture she was discussing some deep sub
ject like philosophy, but when he said,
swatch the birdie" those thirteen mus
cles just simply wouldn't behave.
Then there is Miss Russell Hughes,
80 CORTLAND Place, classic dancer,
who can smile even if it isn't Thanks
giving. She can smile at any and all
times, even when she sits in the den
fist chair.

Ben Crosses Sandy When
Boy Friends Invite
Them to Dine.
CHAPTER 8

She sat on a little stone
bench, her hands tightly
clasped. She said with
white, drawn mouth: I'm
crazy--just crazy"
1t was so still here - so
still and mysterious. The
walled-in garden, bathed in
this dim, undulating light
with a perfume and warmth
touching over the flowers might have
been the remotest spot on the earth
and she its only inhabitant.
Sandy felt like this-pushed away
alone and forgotten. The beating of
her heart oppressed her with faintness
and heat.
For long time she sat motionless,
staring at the shrubs and at a bed of
stocks that were so fragrant and so
delicately colored in pink and laven-
der.
Suddenly, she said quietly: 'T'n
have to go back-in the end I'll have
to 20 back" In all her life she had
never felt such utter. appalling quiet.
Back there in the room Murillo was
waiting. He had poured out the drink
Then he had turned. found her gone.
He was probably stepping out on the
misunderstanding her at once. He
would be a little indignant. He had
right to be. He was her husband.
She said this to herself. Husband
-yes-he was her husband. She was
married to him. She had stood up be.
fore a whole church full of people and
taken him for her mate. She had
known what she was doing.
Why then was she so alarmed
Why did she run out here in this
foolish way?
She put these questions to herself
accusingly. And she began to walk
rapidly between the shrubs. She said
repeatedly: 81 went into i'll went
into tim not afraid! What have
I to fear?"
The whole drama Of her courtsh;p
flashed before her. She'd marry him
again-she'd have to-she wasn't try
ing to get out of it. Images of herself
and her insolent gaiety came with a
taunt. The way she had shrugged so
breezily. telling the world: "I'll get
by! Nobody's going to high-hat me,
my dears! l can handle little Benny
venuto! What. no. a husbandw
These images heightened her agita-
ton. They filled her with burning
resentment against herself-everybody. |
She wasn't brazen now. Everything
was altered-subtly and finally al
tered. The tears rushed to her eyes
Oh, why hadn't someone told her she |
was going to feel like this? Why hadn't |
she known? She felt betrayed-aban-
doned and betrayed.
She tried desperately to toss back
her head-steady herself to go breez-
ing into the room, laugh at MurillJ,
flaunt past him.
But she leaned against a tree fac
ing herself ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
her future. She was married to Ben
Murillo. She was out here alone with
him. She didn't love him. She was
afraid of him. She didn't want him
near didn't want his lips on
her mouth. There was no escape.
He faced her with eyes half closed,
not in a dream now but with annoy
ance. why did you, do this, Sandy?
I've been walking around this fool
place half an hour"
"Ob, twas warm inside-the walls
coming together-love the night air"
"A rather peculiar thing to do at
o'clock in the morning"
She gave a high, unnatural laugh.

things. It's a way have" She stared
at his thin. saliow face as though she

U. S. Would Make Bills
Smaller; S. A. Bankers
Approve.

Would the people Of the United
States be satisfied with less" money!
That is a question treasury officials
are trying to get answered.
It Is not question of smaller
amount of money-but smaller money.
San Antonio bankers seem to favor
the change-in fact some of them are
enthusiastic over it. Others do not
think so much of it.
j. X. Beretta, president Of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, not only
favors smaller money but the elimin-
alton of some denominations and many
designs.
Fine" Mr.. Beretta said, Il think
the smaller money would be a good
thing. Besides the economic saving, it
would be easier to handle. think the
number of designs could well be de-
creased by at least half and that
'twos' and 'twenties' should be dis
pensed with. They play no worth
while part in our currency system and
more errors result from those two than
all others"

of the Treasury Department was to
fix date quite a while in advance for
the change TO be made and furnish
banks with ample funds of the new

THE MODERN BARBER
SHOP
Rx THoMAs ARKLE CLARK

THE barber shop, as first knew 1t,
= was, like the livery stable, dis
tinctly an institution which only
males frequented Women never en-
tered it; If they glanced in curiously
as they passed, as no doubt they some
times did, it was hasty and a fur
tive glance which they hoped would
and immodest thing to do, like look
ing in at an open door as one passes
down a hotel corridor. If one of the
children had to be shorn, he was put
in charge Of father or one of the older
boys. The barber shop it was agreed,
was no place for a woman and a poor
place for an innocent boy.
The cuspidor, or box filled with
ashes near the stove was prominent
among the furnishings; the Police Ca
zette gave a journalistic and artistic
entertainment to those so inclined,
and politics and the questionable joke
flOurished. The barber shop was a
clearing house for the village gossip;
it was a loafing center for those who
gave their best energies to whiting
and chewing tobacco. One spent a
pleasant if not a profitable hour at
the barber shop when l was boy.
1t was a sort of mems club for the
villagers who had no steady jobs and
for the rustics who came into town
at week-ends or Mt other stated inter-
walls. If the shop was on front
street, as it usually was, one could
sit or lie in the chair while the barber
gave him a shampoo or softened up
his beard preparatory to shave, and
watch the world go by-young and
old, rich and poor, society favorites
and street Arabs-all playing their
parts on the little stage that lay in
front of the barber-shop window.
There was nothing then TOO sacred
or too private to be discussed in
barber shop. There was no problem
of society or athletics or politics or
religion or education too difficult or
too complicated for immediate and
final settlement by any tonsorial
tyro. The questions Of the day re-
quired but a few moments for final
adjustment There was no individual
. so dignified as to escape having his
character and his principles analysed
and valued if he dared to cross the
BARRIERS stage. One spoke frankly in
the barber shop.
But the scene has changed, at least
in the country village. Woman and
bobbed hair have been the purifying
elements tried to get haircut a
few nights ago. When | wandered
into the shop thought for a moment

Come on, hurry along" said Old
King Thunder to Old Queen Thunder.
Lets have a surprise party to the
Earth people,"
Lets do that" said Old Queen
Thunder
Now, as you know without a doubt,
when Old King Thunder speaks to Old
Queen Thunder they yell at each other
and roar at each other at the very
"tip-tops" of their voices.
This is the way they enjoy talking
Just the way we will talk in fairly
low voices, or shout only when we are
excited, they shout If ever they speak.
Sometimes their voices are louder
than at other times, but they never
speak in low tones.
They love their noisy, loud CONVEX
sation, and they have brought up all
their children to talk in the same way.
Can you imagine belonging to fam
lily that never once said:
You would never hear that If you
belonged to the Thunder family.
In fact, many time has King Thun-
der shouted to one of the Thunder
Cloud children and said:
what a weak lhtle rumble. Roar
louder Give real rumble Let's
hear how you can do it,"
And then you will notice that the
little distant rumbies and the little
roars become stronger and louder, and
then great, great rolling ones are
louder than all.
The huge ones are King and Queen
Thunder talking. The ones that get
louder and louder but never the loud
est of all, but yet are very loud rum
bles after having been little ones
they are the children.
