NARCOTIC THIEVES
FOILED BY SAFE

Narcotic thieves, after a weeks
respite, were foiled Sunday night in
their attempt upon the Denver
Heights Pharmacy, blackberry street
and Denver boulevard.
After working the combination OF
the safe, where the drugs were stored,
they failed to get beyond the second
door. Thwarted, they contented them
selves with taking a dozen cartons of
cigarettes.
J. C. White, manager of the phar-
macy, believes one of the burglars
secreted himself in the store just be-
fore closing time.
Detective Pat Fox has been assigned
to the case.

Courtship is a precarious PROPOSE

Sunday evening he was talking to
a girl of his acquaintance, when an
other youth appeared on the scene.
He objected to Warren's attentions
and began to quarrel. The situation
grew in proportion until Warren was
attacked by the rival with a knife.
The last chapter of the episode

REGISTERED AUTOS INDICATE
One FOR EACH BEXAR FAMILY

Has your family its automobile:
According to Judge K. Neil Camp
bell, Bexar county tax collector, there
is an automobile for every five per-
sons living in the county, which, ac-
cepting the standard of five as fam
ily, makes one automobile for each
family.
The estimated population Of the
county on which Judge Campbell bases
his figures is 225,O0O, while approx
mately $4,000 motor vehicles have been
registered this year. And registrations
are coming in at about the rate Of
1000 per month, according to Joseph
]. Gallagher, chief deputy in the auto
department of the tax collectors Of
flee.
EXPECT $4,000 ALTOS
The sum of S45,2S5, 900, second only
to few other property values, is rep
resented by this large number of auto
mobiles owned in Bexar county, Mr..
Gallagher said. This is taking $1,000
as the average worth of Be1ar owned
automobiles.
Taking the percentage with which
automobile ownership has increased IN
recent years as basis, it is expected
that nearly $4,000 automobiles, rang

tered in this county for 1926 when
the license paying period opens in
October.
Fifty or more makes of automobiles
may be seen on the roads of Bexar
county, there being 80 dealers each
selling a different make. The num-
Der of cars bought outside of San An
tonic in the absence of their agencies
here more than makes up for the re-
naming 20, according to automobile
men.
SAME NUMBERS
A car which delivered sold here for
$3.50, Is years ago, now can be bought
for $500. This, however, is a well
known car of popular make, and while
other and larger cars have decreased
in price considerably, few have
equallcd this cut.
Bexar county next year will have
the same license numbers as for 1928,
and Collector Campbell is pcrfecting
plans whereby anyone desiring tn,
same number may have it by advis'
ing him to that effect in advance. An
other convenience for the car owner
which Mr. Campbell plans is that Of
allowing him to mail the proper papers
and fee TO his office and receive his
license in that manner,

1t Belongs to Inspectors
Who Endure Heat to
Keep Motors Going.
"Turn on the fan !"

"Turn on the FAM"
Hundreds Of times throughout the
day this request is heard in business
offices. homes, places of amusement,
factories and other places.
Through the medium of electricity
and the motor in the fan, cooling
breezes blow in the general direction of
the fatigued housewife or the perspir-
ing business man, causing each OF
them to forget momentarily the in
tense heat of the hour.
But how many users realize that
they are seeking comfort at the ex-
pense of another's GOODNESS?
MEANS ANOTHER'S HOT.
Few realize that someone is endur.
ing a heat ranging between 135 and
40 degrees, to help keep the four.
bladed piece of machinery running.
Five or six men whose main duty
is to inspect steam condensers are in
the employ of the San Antonio Public
Service Company's two plants, on
Presa and Villita streets and on the
Conception road, at all hours of the
day.
At intervals of fifteen minutes, and
frequently oftener, these men descend
into pits far below the street level to
look over the oil supply running over
the bearings and other parts of the
machinery which is a part Of the pro
Nss which leads up to the generation
Of electricity.
HEAT INSUPPORTABLE.
Seldom do they spend more than
three minutes at a time in the dingy
little pit where the condenser is
housed. The heat caused by steam
striking the cold water makes it i'm
possible for them to remain there
much longer than that.
And when the inspector rises to the
top Of the tiny stair which leads to
and from his condenser pit, with its
temperature Of 40 degrees, some San
Antonian who has just climbed twenty
steps to his office probably is say
ing, turn on the fam.

AFTERNOON WORST

The afternoon, when Mrs. So-and-
So can't get her number as quickly as
she thinks she ought, is the time when
women are most impatient, for then
it is that most of the calling is Gone
BY women. Men are more liable to
become irritated over phone service
in the hours between 0 and u a. M
One type which very seldom troubles
the operator is the "shiek' calling
his "sheba'' for date, for then he
is usually in such a happy state OF
mind that he is not bothered by the
telephone service, Mr.. Martyr says
Continual complainers, as well as
others, are often taken through the
office of the telephone company, and
having seen $50 or 800 girls answer
ing an average Of 245 calls an hour
a-piece, seldom complain thereafter.

He got up on the wrong side Of the
bed that morning, so-he tried TO

Or, his breakfast was not what he
thought it should have been, and
again, he tried to pacify his anger by
being as disagreeable as possible to
the voice which asked him, number.

Or, still again, he was just per-
petual crouch and never had CHEEKY
word or a bit Of patience with any
body.
Women are not exceptions. No
less an authority than Harry Martyr,
district manager of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company, says women +
constitute the major portion of the
estimated Is per cent of telephone sub.
scribers who are in the class known
as disagreeable.
OPERATOR GOOD JUDGE
This, Mr.. Martyr says, despite the
fact that men make more calls in BUSH
ness than women do.
When a person picks the receiver
from the hook and, placing it to HIS
ear, speaks into the mouthpiece, little
does he realize how near to forming
an exact opinion of his disposition or
character the telephone operator can
come. The tone of voice used, the i'm
patience shown, calmness when some
unexpected breach in the service oc-
ours, conduct when things go wrong,
and any number of other little things
help the telephone girl to determine
the nature of the subscriber.
However. in this as in everything
else, Mr.. Martyr says, there are ex-
ceptions which have been called to his
attention, for better and for worse.
CENTRAL" PLEASANT
Whether or not the telephone user
answers in a CHEEKY voice, the en-
ployes of the Southwestern Bell are
taught to question and reply to them
in voice filled with expression, to
make the subscriber think that the
central is performing a personal
service, rather than a mere mechanical
duty.
Everyone is supposed to get service
within 10 seconds after the hook is
lifted from the receiver, Mr.. Martyr
saws. but of course. when an operator
learns from constant answering OF the
signal that the party at the other end
of the line has a pleasant voice, IN
dicative of a disposition of that ma
ture. she naturally is more anxious
to give excellent service.
