THERE SCARFOR
EACH FAMILY
IN COUNTRY
Records Show Each Five
Persons Should Have
an Auto.

Have you a little automobile in
your home?
II not, you should have. There's
some for you.
Registration figures given out by
II. Neil Campbell, county tax collect
or. show that there is an automobile
for every average sized family in
Bexsr county.
His figures prove undisputedly, that
Bexar county literally is a county on
wheels-and nice, easy-riding, pneu-
matic-tired wheels at that.
BIG GAIN.
Since the first Of the year 43.2GG
motor cars of sundry sorts have been
registered against 30.724 for last year
Estimating the population Of BcXar
county at 100000. and dividing that
by the number of automobiles reg
istered it shows there Is one automo-
bile of some kind for every five per
sons, and since five is the number Of
the average family, it tends TO show
that every BeXGr county family has
an automobile, or at least there is one
automobile for every family, whether
they own it or not.
Up until April l.. S9,052 pleasure
vehicles have been registered against
sc, $50 for last year-a gain OF PIP.
Motor buses 10 the number of 34G are
registered. While the motor bus gain
can not be estimated since bus regis
trations were included with pleasure
cars last year, it is generally believed
that there has been a noticeable in
crease and the fact that bus registra-
tons were included with pleasure We
hicles last year. makes this years
pleasure vehicle figure even more con-
vincing.
TRUCKS JUMP.
Commercial cars. chiefly trucks, |
showed the smallest gain. Since JAN
uary 1, 1864 have been registered !
against 3s44 for last year.
Motor vehicle transfer figures for |
1925 compared with those OF last year |
give evidence Of the greater prosper |
ity Of Bexar county. In 1926, 1921 |
transfers were recorded against 6S2S |
for 1926.
''Bexar county citizens are not only |
buying more automobiles than they |

Editorial Comment
The Dawes-Watson Bill


The fate of the Haugen bill in the
Senate will be settled this week.
1t has found new and powerful
friends. Some of its former enemies
in the grain and milling, the commits
sion and brokerage trades have been
bought off by concessions and
changes. 1t has found new friends in
certain levels of the banking business.
Vice President Dawes and Senator
Watson of Indiana have made it their
! own 1t ought to be known now as
| the Dawes Watson rather than the
Haugen bill.
The bill has been revised" Who
soever is deceived thereby lacks wis
dom. 1t has is no way been bettered.
| Now as always, 1t proposes to raise
the cost of living in America and to
hand the farmer a subsidy out of the
Federal Treasury. All the blather
and blah in the Senate cannot hide
what is tucked away in the bill. The
support of General Dawes has not
taken away any of it's iniquty. The
fact that he is busily trying to under
mine the Administration of which he
is part does not make it any less a
wicked and dangerous measure.
J The heel of the Senate should
bruise its head There have been
many vicious measures offered in the
present Congress. This Dawes Wat
son bill now being pressed so strong
/ ly upon panicky Senate deserves the
! palm for viciousness.

A REMINDER

A special edition of the report OF
the physicians Of the American Medi-
cal and Sanitary Relief in the Rus
sian Famine, illustrated as 1t is with
photographs Of disease and famine
manifestations, is an impressive re-
minder of what is termed the most
dramatic medical campaign in the
history of medicine. The photographs
accompanying this special report are
so grewsome they have not been
given general publicity. They afford
a conception of conditions horrible to
contemplate, an insight of that to
which disagreement and emergency
may bring a great and potentially
rich country.
That it was possible to give as
great a measure of relief is attribut-
able in considera BILE part to the skill
and knowledge of Herbert Hoover as
an organizer backed by the Red Cross
AID the generosity of the American
people. So it was made possible to
expend sixty millions for famine and
eight millions for medical relief to
the advantage Of hordes of sufferers
A tremendous undertaking carried
| through creditably. the recollections
Of which should not be permitted to
fade. but make for better understand
ing between two great peoples.

THE soorLEeelNe HABIT

Bootlegging Is not confined to
ardent spirits. Not only do the
bootleggers of booze conspire with
the bootleggtng Of drugs but, what
ever Of success there may be attend
ing their operations naturally az
fords encouragement to all those,
who hope to get easy money at the
expense of the world in general.
A rather startling statement is
issued by the American Fair Trade
League to the effect that the twenty
million car owners in this country
are annually losing something like
a billion dollars because of inferior
lubricants bootlegged to them as
genuine and the wear occasioned
by this inferior quality.
This Is rather tall talk but 1t sure
ly is worth thinking over. And
while we are about that we might
inquire into the bootlegging Of in.

HAWAII AND MAINE MEN

Maine Is a long distance from the
1898 there was lively interest. es-
pecially in this city, respecting the
affairs Of that part of the world.
John L. Stevens, a distinguished
concerned in those affairs. for he
was this countrys minister to
Hawaii and he 1t was, who ordered
American bluejackets ashore to
maintain order when the revolution
oVerthrew the power of Queen
Liliuokalani. Indeed, Commissioner
Biount under the Cleveland admins
tration gave the world to understand
that but for this interference the
revolution would have been unsuc-
oessful. Cleveland decided that it
was proper to restore the queen to
the throne and refused to consider
the proposition that this country
should annex the Islands as a ter
ritory. The restoration of the queen
was defeated, however. by her re-
fusal to grant amnesty to the rev.
olutionists and no administration
would dare to turn over to her saw
age spirit Of revenge American ciu-
zens on the Islands.
Among those was Sanford B. Dole.

As the little rabbit hoped along
toward the swamp, the breath of
the skunk cabbage and the woodsy
smell of ferns came to his little
pink nose. Yes, these lovely per-
fumes were blown toward him by
Billy Breeze, that happy little
zephyr, who. with his brother. Willy
Wind, sang such merry songs in the
treetops.
Just beyond, maybe a dozen hops
or so, stood a small hillock of open
pasture, edged with alder and but
ton bush standing in the shallow
water close to the Old Duck Pond.
From the hillock the daisies winked
In the bright rays of Mr.. Merry Sun
and the squaw weed waved between
the swamp and the knoll. All of a
sudden the bunny boy spied Grand
daddy Bullfrog, summing himself on
a little cranberry bog island Yes,
there he sat in his duh green coat
and yellow vest. his fore feet at the
edge of a bronze lily leaf.
Hello, Granddaddy Bullfrog,
cried the little rabbit.
"Well, well, well, il it isn't my
bunny friend!" exclaimed the old
gentleman frog. where have you
been these lovely June days?"
Here and there and everywhere
answered the little rabbit, slipping
his knapsack off his back and hang
ing his red striped candy cane on
an alder branch. How clean your
yellow waistcoat is"
Yes, Mrs. Frog is very particular
about it" smiled Granddaddy Bull
frog. you see, female frogs have
no yellow vests. so she takes great
pains to keep mine in good condi-
ton. She is fond of pretty things,
and the old frog looked down admir-
ingly at his ample waistline.
But. Oh dear me, All of sud
den, quick as a wink, almost before
you could even think, big, strange
frog leaped savagely upon him from
behind, and clasping his forelegs
around poor Granddaddy Bullfrog' s
neck. began slowly to strangle him
Taken unawares as he was. the old
gentleman bullfrog had little chance
to get away, and pretty soon his
eyes commenced to bulge almost out
of his head and his mouth to be
forced slowly open. Forcing him
inch by inch across the lily pad
the stranger frog did his best at
length to topple gasping Granddad-
dy Bullfrog into the water and
finish him.

bunny, opening his knapsack with

The Cardinal "Red Special-

IN. l. lllneSD
In marked contrast with the process
sion of the Cardinals to Chicago by
the 'Red Special was the journey
of the first known European, French
priest, to visit that city's site. 1t was
beside the portage path between the
BASIN of the Great Lakes and the
Mississippi Valley-a trail across the
water shed over whose brim the
water often spilled in the season OF
the Spring freshet-that the first
European habitation was built to give
shelter to Father Marquette. a Jesuit
priest, son of an old and honorable
family in Laon, France, on his mis-
sion to the Indians in that region.
Where his hut stood in 1878. a cross
now stands, inscribed to Pere Mar
quette as the first white man known
TO have passed that way. He little
dreamed that a mighty city would
spring from the black loan or that
princes of the church would walk in
that path after him. His thought,
with all his passion for exploration.
was for the salvation of the souls of
the savages, as this entry in the &C
count of his journey witnesses:
Had all this Voyage caused but the
salvation of a single SOUL l should
deem all my fatigue we'll repaid and
this | have reason to think. for when
l was returning l passed by the In
dams of Peoria. where I was three
days announcing the faith, in all their
cabins, after which, as we were en-
barking, they brought to me on the
waters edge a dying child, which I
baptized a little before it expired. by

gasped the poor old gentleman frog,
Strengthening his pink bow tie that
had become twisted way around his
brilliant left ear drum during the
dreadful scuffle.
"Oh. I'm so glad / happened
along" cried the little bunny. What
would ] do if this had been the end
of you?'
'T1l never forget your kindness"
promised poor Granddaddy Bullfrog.
Nor will | forget every once in a
while to keep a sharp lookout for
that strange bullfrog's smile" and
with a wave of his right foreleg, he
went home to see Mrs. Frog.
