San Antonio Lions club, twisted his
ankle on October 31-the day that
Lions Field was presented TO the city
when he slipped and fell during
ball game played between the Lions
Field team and the clubs of Lions
playground.
Because the twisted ankle hurt
with a stiff leather shoe around it,
Mr.. Higgins borrowed rubber gum"
shoe from Il. C. Oliver, city super
visor of playgrour'-. Mr.. Oliver
has his headquarters and a store of
first aid equipment at Lions Field.
The ankle ceased to hurt and Mr..
Higgins almost forgot about it. On
Thursday, November 5, a stranger
came to town from Los Angeles. Mr..
Higgins and the stranger became
friends. They went riding together
Thursday afternoon in Mr.. Higgins
car. Mr.. Higgins remembered that
he should return the rubber shoe,
so he took the stranger by Lions

yestment abroad by Americans dur
irg the year ending June 80, 1925,
of $1,3S2, 100000 and the net gold
export from the country of $115,000,-
600 as further contributions to gem
eral stability.
1.-THE greatest voluno of construc
ton operations Oh record" was also
proceeding internally in the United
States, representing an investment
for the year of $6,000.000.0O0, and
the secretary noted to results as "for
the most part well calculated to meet
the permanent and growing needs of
the nation"
Illustrating the situation by index
figures, Mr.. Hoover's review said
that, taking 1919 output as 100, dur
ing the fiscal year 1926 manufactur-
ing production in the country was
us; mineral production 124: rail
road freight haulage no: factory

St. Mary's Parish Autumn
Harvest Draws Xmas
Shoppers.
By BESS CARROLL.

Santa Claus must have caught
rheumatism Mt the North Pole, be-
caose he has come to San Antonio
six weeks ahead Of time.
He is located in the basement of
st. Mary's Church, where the Autumn
Harvest of st. Mary's parish is going
on.
Part of Santa's past that he has
kept secret these many centuries was
found out when he displayed his wares
in the big basement-Santa does en-
broidery and tatting. Imagine a
clumsy old fellow like Santa Claus,
an expert at chimney climbing, the
original aviator and aerial race driver,
knitting by the fireside on winter eve
nings. Yet he must. One whole
booth is filled with beautiful hand
made linens.
SECOND ANNUAL SALE.
The second annual harvest sale OF
st. Mary's has started Santa early on
his Christmas visit to San Antonio.

handsome furnishings for the house
(things that Santa could hardly carry
in his sleigh) and an amazing assort-
ment of toys-all the makins' of
Christmas, are on display in the Is
booths that line the Harvest bazaar.
The bazaar, which started Thursday
and ends Saturday night, attracted
throngs of shoppers. The basement
opens at ) 80 o'clock in the afternoon,
and attendance prizes are given at the
conclusion of each evening.
TALENTS DISPLAYED.
Though the mad pace of the rest
less age" forces some of us to SO
through life with our clothes pinned
on and our hooks holey, the Autumn
Harvest proves that many San An
tonic housewives find time to sew.
The exquisite and elaborate handwork
on one bedspread is valued at 500,
while mandarin negligee made Of
solid embroidery is worth $500 in
work alone.
Many talents possessed by women Of
st. Mary's parish are on display in
the bazaar-hand-mad floor lamps,
oil paintings, statues and baskets and
pretty frocks. The talent most en-.
joyed by the masculine population is
found in the supper room of the base
ment, where an oyster supper was
served Friday night. A turkey sup
per will be served Saturday night.
