MAYOR FAVORS
NEW s. A. GAS
C0MPA

San Antonio will look with favor
upon any company that can assure the
city an adequate gas supply with a
material reduction in rates.
Mayor John w. Tobin said Tuesday
that if the city's demands can be met
he sees no reason why a franchise
should not be granted.
Seagraves and Moody interests,
through their representative, w. o.
Harper, it is understood, are preparing
to ask the city commission to grant
them the right to furnish San Antonio
with gas.
With the proposed line branching
off from a line to Houston, Mayor To
bin declared his first demand would
be that the interests assure San An
tonic an adequate supply.
"If the supply should become low,
would want it thoroughly understood
that our city would continue to get
enough gas to keep warm" he said.
IL would not want San Antonio's
supply to be diminished SO that Hous-
ton could keep warm" the mayor
explained.
Mayor Tobin's second stipulation is
that the company furnish the city a
substantial bond to assure its prom
Uses.
And 1 would want the bond under.
written by San Antonio bankers so we
would be absolutely sure of getting
the money" he declared.
The third requirement outlined by
the mayor is that bond also be fur
nished to offset any damage the laying
of new pipes should cause.
"In my opinion, if these demands
are met, believe we ought to let
them provide us. with gas" Mayor
Tobin said.

COURT HEARS
AIR POLICY
FLAYED
Alien Scheme to Secure Air
Foothold Near Canal
Is Barred.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-tR-
The governments air policies both at
home and in far-off American posses
sions were assailed today in defense
testimony before the Mitchell court
martial.
Captin Robert Oldys of the air serv-
ice, called to support Colonel Mitch
ellis charge of near reasonable disre-
gard of national interests in aviation.
declared he had in his possession Il
letter written by the American min
lister to Guatemala in 1923. warning
of a scheme by alien interests to estaD-
lish a foothold in Central America,
near the Panama Canal.
The minister, the witness said, I'M
successfully invited the Washington
government to establish an air mail
service to Central America. Actual
presentation of the letter in evidence
was delayed, temporarily at least, by
objections from the prosecution.
QUOTE REPORT.
Captain Oldys also quoted at length
from the aviation report presented in
1923 by the Lassiter board of army
officers, containing recommendations
TO. air defense of the Philippines and
Hawaii which the witness said he had
bmeen approved by the secretary of
war. but never carried into effect.
This report, he said, described the sit
uation in the air service as "unfortu'
nate and critical"
So many objections were interposed
by the prosecution that Colonel Blan-
ton Winship, law member of the court,
reminded Colonel Sherman. Moreland,
the prosecutor of his previous state
ment that he would not object to
testimony intended to prove the truth
of Colonel Mitchell's charges if it was
offered in extenuation of mitiga-
ton.
TELLS OF CRASHES.
Colonel Moreland said he must con-
tinue to object on the ground that
the evidence being offered was "in-
competent, irrelevant and not obtain
ed from the best sources"
Captain Oldys then told the court
that while he was stationed in
Hawaii there were so many forced
landings and airplanes smashes, that
there was a threat to hold pilots
financially responsible for the loss of
their craft.
When the captain said there were
no tactical air units on the Pacific
Coast, Major General Howe, presi-
dent of the court, asked:
HAS Rockwell Field been aban-
doned?'
There is a depot there"
ANY flying personnel"
"Only a dozen officers. They test
machines turned out of the depot"

Medical association conven-
ton in the second of its four
day session here.
DR.. w. 3. Carroll and DR.. S
Driver, orthopedic surgeons of Dallas,
gave an all-day clinical exhibition OF
their work on crippled children, at
tended by hundreds of visiting physi,
clans.
Before the eyes of their fellow doc
tors, the local surgeons showed how
deformed feet, twisted backs and other
contortions produced by disease or re-
sulting from birth, are Strengthened.
REPLACE FOOT
The badly deformed bone of a Grip
Fled child's foot was removed from the
foot, remodeled and replaced as il
should be, so that the patient will be
able to walk normally.
A boy. paralyzed since birth by o
hemorphage of the brain, was present
ed. The hemorrhage had caused con-
traction of the leg muscles because
certain nerves feeding the leg had be-
come so active the muscles would not
relax and the patient was unable ia
move his legs properly. DIR. Carroll,
by making an incision in the boys
back, passed the knife between many
vital structures and cut part Of the
over-active nerve fibers.
This, he explained, reduced the con-
traction of the MUSCLES so the patient
would be able to control his legs. AT
ter this operation the surgeon exhib-
tied a number of patients who had
been operated on a few weeks ago
and were now able to walk for the
first time.
"Not many years ago." said DIR.
Carroll, "the world was startled by
the announcement that surgeons were
crushing the bones of unfortunate
cripples and moulding them into
proper shape SO they were almost per-
feet after healing. Surgeons who be-
came interested in this work soon
found that near miracles could be per-
formed on persons crippled either
since birth or by disease or injury.
Many surgeons began to turn their
attention to this work of rebuilding
the human body and the result was
the development Of new speciality
called orthopedic surgery. The former

OBTAIN CHARTER.

The charter was obtained by Henry
c. King Jr., and was filed Tuesday
in the department of the secretary
of state.
The newly organized company with
a capital stock of $150,OO0 has as its
incorporators \ S. Busby and w. j.
Blair of Sah antonio and +. F. Nye
of kerrville. These men. with Mr..
King, form the directorate.
Mr.. Busby and Mr.. Blair are both
experienced in the manufacture of
bricks and other clay products, Mr..
King said Monday. While they have
not been actively engaged in the bust
ness during recent years, he said, they
both were formerly identified with the
industry.
START IMMEDIATELY.
The plant taken over by the new
company, Mr.. King said, has a ca
pacity of approximately 10000 bricks
per day.
Experts and the staff of laborers
have already been engaged, he said,
and the plant will begin producing at
once. The plant will concentrate at
first, he said, on the manufacture of
nothing but high-grade bricks. Offices
will be kept in San Antonio.

A nice compliment, but the press
isn't so much of a safeguard against
either. When bigotry is sufficiently

extremely polite. When oppression
takes the form of well organized CAPT

EORCE is necessary, as the late
Albert Brisbane said, more than
half a century ago, to explain the
working of cosmic machinery.
If gravitation had worked through
eternity, to balance it, without some
power of counter gravitation, all the
matter Of the universe would long
since have been gathered into one
solid lump. The theory of distributive
explosions and inter-stellar collisions
would only satisfy the mind of
child.

MARTINS FERRY, Ohio. May
.16.-Failure to eat breakfast before
going to school may be responsible
for the poor grades Of some pupils,
according to students in home eco
nomics classes in the local high
school.

was decided to quiz 140 girls con-
cerning their habits in the early
morning. OF, this number, forty
four said they ate no breakfast,
ninety-two partook of light break
fast and fourteen enjoyed a hearty
meal.
A check-up of school grades
showed that, of the fortyfour who
ate no breakfast only five were
doing fair" or better, work in
their classrooms, while thirty nine
were listed AS failures in some Of
their studies.
In view Of this situation, it was

PARIS IS CRAZED
OVER HORSE
RAGING
Two Hundred Million Dollars
Spent by Public in Five
Years Since War
BY international News Service.

PARIS, May 16.-Two hundred
million dollars have been spent on
horse races by the Partisan public
in the last five years, according to
the official government figures re-
Gently published by Count de Saint
Quentin.
For 1924 alone the Paris tracks
received more than four and one
half million dollars from those
who passed through the turnstiles'
Out of that sum $2,0O0,O00 was
given away in prize money and a
large percentage of the balance was
taken by the government to main
tain breeding establishments, to
foster agricultural developments and
to subsidize state charities.
The extraordinary popularity Of
horse racing shows no sign OF
waning. On the contrary, the gross
receipts for 1924 were $1,000, 900
more than the total for 1923.
A proportionate increase for 1925
is, therefore, a logical expectation.
Last year the stands at Long
champs were considerably enlarged,
and this fall similar improvement
will increase the capacity Of the
Saint Cloud track SO per cent.
