CARNAT|ON

.FAV0R|TE
Rose Comes Into Its Own
When Breezes Of
Winter Blow. y
What is your favorite flowerG

What is your favorite flower?
Is it the pink carnation?
If not you are in a minority in San
Antonio.
According to florists the carnation
is the most popular year round flower
of all, so much so that in a measure
San Antonio might be called the Scar
nation City"
Flowers have their season of popu-
larity, controlled in a measure of
course by the seasonal supply, but
even beyond this, one or two flowers
hold high preference over the others.
In the fall the chrysanthemum rules
with lordly sway.
The gorgeous balls of golden yellow,
snowy white, flaming crimson, or va
riegated colors holds a lead in popular
favor unsuccessfully challenged by
any. other product of the florists art.
When winters bracing breeze bring
color to cheek and sparkle to the eye,
it is then that the Queen of Flow
crs," the stately rose, comes into its
own, and rules by right of divine love-
illness.
When April skies and May showers
invite all outdoors and tender moon
beams throw an enchantment over all,
it is then that the timid and blushing
sweet pea makes coy appeal that is
Irresistible.
And in July and August when,>a all
nature yielss in languorous abandon to
the ardent kisses of the sun god, it
is the riotous colors of the gladioli,
from palest pink to palpitating scar
let, running all the chromatic scale,
that captures the fancy of the flower
lover. ~
And so the kingdom of the flowers
comes and goes but the carnation sure
of its place in the heart of San Anton
ians, retains their loyalty.

TONE THIRTEEN
To BE HEARD
IN j. 5.
Mexican Musician to Begin
Campaign to Prove
His Theories.

Grace-notes, quarter tones, half
tones, and steenths will fly with mad
abandon, and the solid structure of
music will be attacked vigorously,
with the mystic figure of Tone -
gazing ominously on the battle, as
Julian GARLIC attacks the United
States this fall with his new musical
theory, which if it works, will put
the skids under classic music" He
will begin at Laredo on September
%, and may come to San Antonio.
Garlic, Indian professor of music
in Mexico City, and widely known
over the world as a composer of note
and as one of the most ardent work
ers for the cause of quarter, eighth,
and sixteenth tones with variations
in conjunction with his theory of the
18th note, claims everything is ready.
INSTRUMENTS BUILT.
He says his musical instruments
have been built. They will play awe
some variations of quarter, eighth and
sixteenth tones, sounds which no man
has heard according to music's die
tates. He also has soloist, Miss
Ahedo, who sings in quarter tones, as
well as a chorus of other ladies who
can do the same. Incidentally, he has
an orchestra of 30 musicians from
Mexico City.
Aztec land, long known as the
country of revolutions, in peace time
may produce a musical revolution.
That is what Carrillo is attempting to
prove. For that purpose, he begins
his much talked about tour.
BATTLE OF CENTURY.
This winter, he will match wits
with one Igor Fedorowitch Strawin-
sy, one of the modern irrepressibles,"
who has put the spirit of an automO-
bile factory, mixed with accordion
music from cheap fairs, "jazzy"
strains from nondescript cabarets, and
so on, into his music. This battle of
the century will be staged in New
York this winter. Carrillo is going TO
have 18th tone piano built in
Gotham. Then, after conquering the
United States, he plans to sail for
Europe, and so on for world tour,
disseminating the idea of, the 18th
tone, the music of the future"
Carrillo and Strawinsky will stage
competitive concert in New York,
runs the announcement. The compos-
er of lie Sacre du Printemps,"
"L'Oiseau de feu," "Petruchka," and
others, will match rumble with rum
bic, shrill NATURALIZATION with steely
chord, trabismic cacophony with Cy.
clopean emphasis. What the victor
will get nobody knows.
The 18th tone theory is not new.
Many composers have tried the split
tones from the present half-tone sys'
tens. Carrillo claims success, the dis
covcry of an additional 18th tone, and
the perfection of revolutionary instru.
ments.

SPARED of-at last have been gained.
No longer must a man deny him
self the right to wear glorified hosiery
and scenic handkerchiefs, merely be-
cause he was not born to bright and
fluffy things.
Whether the new correct styles for
young men are actually the result Of
revolt and self-expression, or wheth-
er men have simply stolen women'S
stuff-as, particularly in the matter of
hosiery. they seem TO have done-no
one can say. For the better-dresseda

BRIGHT HUES HERE. re"
Whence came the popular red, Law
cnder and variegated neckwear? Why
has MILFORD adopted shrieking, scintil-
lating hankys, adorned with floral and
domestic scenery? Why are men wear
ing crossword puzzle garters and ze-'
bra sox?
Summer has established certain def
mite styles for the better-dressed
young man. Stanley Frank, we'll
known clothier, has evolved an ideal
"better-dressed man" from the best
sellers in mems wearing apparel for
the summer months.
Linen is extremely popular, and il
smart for street suits as well as for
the dance" Mr.. Frank said. The
sclf-plaid is a novelty in suits, and
is enjoying an immense vogue" assl
HATS ARE LARGE.
Milford with the desire to be smart
in spite of anything his teacher may
have said about him in his youth
must wear broad-brimmed hat. Pan
amas are all of wider dimensions this
year. For the young man the high
crown and narrow band are best.
The Prince of Wales is bound. to
influence mems styles, and the WalS
collar-long, slender-pointed and mar
rows "the thing" for the pastel,
colored, soft summer shirts.
Silken socks that look suspiciously
like Milady's hosiery creations of the
carly spring are correct for tie
younger men this summer. These socks
are striped, plaid, spriggled and spot
ted. And the new garter is a cross
word puzzle pattern Of black and
white, calculated to defy the threat
ening collegiate vogue of going garter
less. There will probably be fewer
shins au naturel, now that this al.
Turing, mystifying garter is out. ~.
BALLOON SHOES.
One of the newest correct styles for
the young man is the balloon-tced
shoe. From the instep to within a
few inches of the tip of this slipper.
the bell shape of the balloon-bottom
trouser is evident. Light tan is the
preferred shade in shoes. fir
The white handkerchief is no more.
Bright flowers bloom in the new mas
culine hanky-of hues calculated not
to blush unseen. Ties, though still
shown in the ultra-conservatiye pats
terms, are bright and wide, and often
match the handkerchief. Belts range
from medium width to very wide.

Washington, Nov. %. R)-Colo-
mel william Mitchell took the wit.
ness stand today before the court
martial trying him FOR breach OF
discipline as Il result of his public
criticism OF the admi nistration OF
tn" army and navy air services.
For the third time within Il few
months the air crusader repeated un-
der oath his reasons for aSSail ling
those in charge Of governmental
aviation. and for his advocacy of a
Ia rger and better trained and equip
ped air force.
Much of his Testimony hinged upon
the same points he had stressed last
Spllng before the house aircraft com
mittcc, and later before the presi-
dents specia! air boari.
His Testimony
Colonel Mitchell began his tcsti-
mony with long and detailed ac-
count Of his army career, including
the service in the air in France, for
which he was awarded many decora-
TONS.
From that point the witness was
led under questioning by his counsel
Rcpl sentative Frank X. Reid of H.
inol5, 10 an expression of his Opln-
ION on various phases of aircraft de-
vclopmcnt. The colonel testified that
at the end of the World war aviation
was uSt beginning to come into it
own, and had the conflict gone on,
Il destructive air warfare would have
been directed against Germany's
nerve centcrs.
He rccited long succession Of
recommendations regarding aviation
made by him and rejected by the war
department. He said he never had
been able to have a study made Of
the precautions a city like New York
should take to defend itself from an
air attack.
Could Bomb New York
"lf an enemy came within 100 miles
Of New York; he said, che could
stand off in an ajrship, after picking
up an identifying point, and l be-
licvc every aerial torpedo he fired
would fall within an area of the size
Of New York City,
The defense turned Colonel Nit
.chcll over to Maj6r Allen Gullion,
assistant trial Judge advocate, after
less than two hours of questioning.
No mention was made of the San An
tonic statements on which charges
against him were based.
