that approximately 100 plasterers are
at work in this city.
Mr.. Sultenfuss has gone after work
in the Valley on a large scale. He
states that because of the promising
future in this section OF the country,
he has undertaken this particular type
Of work.
BUILDING STEADY.
"Never before in the history of this
city has it witnessed better real es-
tate values. San Antonio has steady
building Mt all times. Records show
that at. this time there are approx
mately $4,000 homes in this city. Dur
ing the past eight or ten years. build
ings have been put up of better and
more permanent materials. San An
tonic is rapidly coming to the front
and better classes of residences are be-
ing built each year.
Mr.. Sultenfuss adds that everyone
has said that 1925 is destined to be the
greatest year in the history of San An
tonic. but / add more emphatically
that the real development of this city
will take place during the coming year.
Without doubt it will be the most
profitable year ever witnessed in San
Antonio. More home building and
more speculative buying will take
place during 1926. The public is
just beginning to learn what real pros
perity means. Thousands of people
are en- route to this city at this time. 4"
concludes Mr.. Sultenfuss.

Of passersby for the Physicians and
Surgeons Supply company at 127
Losoya street. The verse is placed on
card nearby, in the show window.
Here artificial limbs of all types
are constructed and surgical supplies
are stocked.
BUY AT HOME
One June l, 1924, the Physicians
d Surgeons Supply company was in
corporated. Aside from the manufac-
ture of artificial limbs. a complete
line Of surgical instruments, office and
hospital furniture is carried. Glassware
and enamel ware, laboratory supplies,
rubber goods, gauze, cotton, 5andages,
sterilizing outfits and complete sur
sicsl equipment and furniture for the
doctors office are stocked.
Prior TO the opening Of this shop
in San Antonio, 80 per cent of local
business went to northern STATS. This
supply house not only enables doctors
10 get their materials in less time bu!
it eliminates the transportation costs
and keeps money at home.
In connection with the very COM
plete line of surgical needs carried by
this company, it also supplies anes-
thetic gasses. This stock consists OF
oxygen, nitric oxide. ethylene, and
carbon dioxide. Z. W. Beckett. man
ager Of the Physicians & Surgeons
Supply company states:
I'm accordance with the number Of
physicians and the population of this
city, San Antonio is the largest user
Of gas as anesthetic Of any city its
size in the United States"
FITS LIMBS

work. He does all the measuring for
artificial limbs.
The time required to complete this
work depends upon the particular
class Of work handled, but most any
case can be completed within a week.
IAN braces made are subject to the
physicians inspection and approval, >
adds Mr.. Beckett.
Artificial limbs are made of English
willow wood, which has been seasoned
five or six years, all of selected ma
terial. The wood is treated to pre-
vent absorbing moisture. this is done
to insure the wearer Of perfect fit
as long as the limb wears. The limbs
are all hand carved. Ball bearing
knee joints, self-oiling and noiseless
ankle joints are used.
After the limbs are shaped out they
are fitted. The finishing Of the limb
is the next step, the inside is treated
with shellac, then a very fine quality
of rawhide is wet and put on and is
then glued on with waterproof glue,

artificial limbs made by the Physicians

SKILLED WORKMEN.
This company has a contract With
the Veterans Bureau TO make all ar
tificial limbs.
Only one man is employed TO do
the actual work Of making limbs. He
has been engaged in this particular
type Of work for 30 years. He has
worked in five different countries.
According TO Mr.. Beckett, as soon
as the Medical Arts building is COM
pleted the Physicians and Surgeons
Supply Company will occupy a portion
Of the ground floor. The stock will
be enlarged. Mr.. Beckett also states
that his company sells to all small
hospitals around San Antonio, as well
as local hospitals. The new operating
room at the Santa Rosa was recently
equipped by this supply house.
Two travelling men are employed
who cover a 100-mile territory.

More permanent materials are now
being used in the construction of
buildings and homes than ever be-
FORE" according to W. E. Sultenfuss,
contractor. Mr.. Sultenfuss bases this
statement on the fact that during two
years of business in San Antonio his
work has increased from fifty dollar
jobs TO larger jobs costing many thou
sands.
Each day, the advantages of per-
manent homes and large buildings
are becoming more familiar TO the
public. "Plastered interior is perman-
ent," according TO Mr.. Sultenfuss. 1t
is fireproof. warmer in the winter and
cooler in the summer, il lessons the in
surance rate and increases value of the
structure. 1t is also more profitable
to re-stucco a home than TO re-
paint it.
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
Mr.. Sultenfuss started his first bus
mess in very small way with an of
flee in his home. For two years Ire
operated there. His business grew
rapidly until in November he moved 10

The End of the Dress

Brown was definite. He knew his

at this moment he stepped into the
revolutionary movement and cast
aside uncaringly the political respect

years. eA

scoffing bus driver. 4ygs
'"That's the stuff to give 'em, Com

comrade, lighting still another cigar
cite, in spite of the obviously disap-
proving glances of the elderly COM
rades. GAN power to the workers,
don't forget to spare a copper for
the out-of-work trade union leaders. :"
And so saying she swung out of the
room banging into everyone with the
knapsack which Brown had good rea-
son to believe carried "seditious lite
rature."
''Well, strikes over, we may as well
get back home. Work again tomor-
row."
The voice of Mr.. Brown floated out
Of the sitting atmosphere of the
crowded hall; it floated into the
street and is still floating across
Great Britain unobserved by the gen.
eral public or even by the special
strike police.
Someone told me-" she said, that
this was only dress rehearsal. Well
there's been a good deal of rehears-

DISMAY,' establishment and bias
II phemy were rampant when the
news came thru that the general
strike had been called off.
Old men strikers who still sang
"God Save the King at the end of
strike meetings and who did not quite
approve of the young women com
rades smoking cigarettes, were dis
gusted at the action of Judas" H.
Thomas to whom they had been for
years so pathetically loyal.
"What's the matter with the gener-
al council?"
who's put the wind up them? Just
as we were setting in to win, too"
"Yah, leaders! Afraid of their
jobs, that's all. If the workers were
not such bloody sheep, there'd be no
soft Jobs going for shepherds"
This last remark was made by a
young man whose vitriolic tongue had
often source of anxiety to the more
elderly members of the strike COM
mlttee. But there did seem, so often,
DO be something in what he said. This
time, especially.
IF this T. U. c. won't carry on the
job properly for us, then Wen have
to find another T. U. c. that will"
said builders laborer splitting re-
flectively.
We've been let down badly some
how, there's no doubt about that"
said a transport worker who had been
quite moderate at the beginning OF
the strike.

represent U.S. this was from an old
railway worker who had supported

The Revolt of the Sidewalks
BY SAMUEL A. HERMAN.

WALKING north on Sheridan Road
w with all the time in the world at
ones disposal, being unemployed, a
person will probably notice the pretty
mansions, and spacious homes Of
the moneyed class. A stranger es-
pecialy may be interested in the type
of people one meets there or in the
classy appearing machines, among
which Rolls-Royces are especially no.
ticeable by. their frequency. But was
not a stranger to this city nor q
stranger entirely to the neighbOrhood.
What struck me one fine day when
the sun felt unusually good-natured
and smiled down upon the city with
golden rays of sunlight, was the side
walks my feet passed over as stroll
ed along. Smooth sidewalks they
were that made me feel like walking
on and on and on, never stopping, nor
resting but keeping in motion ever
lastingly. The faces of the sidewalks
were MOI plnCHcu, nOF WiinhiSu, anu
failed to discover one that was brok-
en- down from too much toll. Rather
were they slick and well fed and con-
tent with life as they stretched along
for blocks ahead Of me. Costly shoes
passed over them that were worn on
feet housed in costly hose Of the
finest silks. Canes Of the rarest woods
lightly tickled the sidewalks, carried
in the hands of idlers who wore the
finest of gloves. Carriages with
babies sleeping in them were rolled
pleasantly along by the maids OF
wealthy families. The sidewalks up
held their easy burdens pleasantly
and smiled back at the sun above.
Life to them was one long unevent-
full Nirvana without pain or troubles
of any sort. So, impregnated with
their optimistic outlook on life, ]
glided along until the sun went to
sleep beneath the blanket OF night.

A week passed. The day was chilly
with an eastern wind that blew dust
into the eyes making walking ex-
tremely unpleasant. So finding my
self on Taylor St., / boarded a car
going west. 1t occurred to me to
look again at sidewalks, so l glanced
thru the window. The sidewalks
seemed racing east as the car sped
in the opposite direction. And what
sidewalks saw! Punched, thin, brok-
en- down by years of heavy burdens,
cracked and wrinkled, and all dried
up as if suffering from stomach dis
orders. Gloomy sidewalks, narrow
poverty-stricken sidewalks, sickly, de-
spairing and round shouldered side
walks rushed by me in one confusing
bewildering mob, rushed on and on
dizzily into the distance. / forgot for
a moment that they actually were
standing still. The apparent became
the real to my excited Imagination.
The revolution was on l said to my
self. These downtrodden sidewalks
are refusing to be slaves any longer
while the easy going sidewalks of
Sheridan Road bask in the sunshine.
They are demanding that the
aristocratic sidewalks do their share
OF the work, that they carry
their portion Of the weight in the city.
They are demanding their lot of the
sunshine and joy, their due amount
Of the rest and comfort. They are
rushing to meet the idlers OF the
north side and put an end to their
lazy existence. The crash is on! The
class struggle has intensified until the
proletarian sidewalks are up in re-
volt. A newer society will soon be
formed wherein all sidewalks will en-
Joy leisure and work hand in hand to-
gether, where work and play viii be
synonyms, where every sidewalk win
do its share cheerfully. Three cheers
for the sidewalks OF TOLL

BY PAULINE scHULMAN.

OTROLLING along on 43rd street,
~ New York, 1 noticed that the doors
Of Aeolian Hall were free and open
for everybody. Aeolian Hall is known
as a high brow concert auditorium
and who would not like. to listen to
good music2 So entered. On the
stage were seated ladies and gentle
men, dressed as for a performance, the
ladies, in gorgeous evening gowns, the
gentlemen in black tuxedos. A tall
slender girl arose-I thought she was
going to sing-but instead she began
to talk, introducing herself as the
chairman of the meeting for the even
ing. The meeting, it appeared, was
called for the purpose to Safeguard
medical freedom" and to protect per-
sonal rights" Also to protest against
compulsory vaccination.
The chairman then introduced one
of the speakers, Miss L. r. Sire, presi-
dent of the Women's Democratic Club.
Miss Sire began her speech by telling
the audience that she was very busy
and surely would not have come to
this meeting had she not realized 'the
great Importance and significance" of
her presence. Miss Sire further ex-
planned her opposition to those who
take healthy human beings, particu-
larly children, and inject rotten serum
into their blood.
What we will have to do" said
Miss Sire, "is to fight against this in
human practice" She virtually COM
manded all ito unite all forces and
fight the battle of righteousness"
Eyes, a united front is what we need
and must have" and with still greater
emphasis she exclaimed: This is
call to arms"
When l heard the last remark, the
call to arms, looked around me to
see whether there were any uniformed
men with brass buttons present, who
would yank Miss Sire off the stage
and hustle her into a patrol wagon.
But l soon realized that none of the
guardians of the law were present,
and even if there were any about they
surely would not have dared to COM
pei a lady in a beaded evening gown
to board a patrol wagon. That con-
veyance is for the present reserved
for the convenience" of striking
women and girls.
Miss Sire spoke of "the hungry
going to school with empty
stomachs, and that the legislature and
congress are not doing anything for
them" She also touched on the
housing problem"
Listening to this harangue, 1 said
to myself:
1T is too bad that at this meeting
one cannot enter into a discussion, or

at least ask questions. What would
your first question be were you per-
mitted to ask one?"
Why" said l, 'the first question
l would ask Miss Sire would be no
other than the following: Since you
know that the democratic and repubA.
can parties are not doing anything for
the public, why do you support either
party?" Then would relate the incl
dent of the student in one of the
classes of Columbia University, who
asked for a definition of the word
"proletariat" The definition as given
by the instructor was thus: "Prole-
tarians are those who toll, who main
tain themselves by means. of produc-
ing wealth for others, who do not pos
sess any property and have to live
from hand to mouth. There is another
class of people called the bourgeoisie
who derive their income not from their
own labors, but from the toll of the
proletariat."
WELL" would l continue, "since
your party, Miss Sire, is not only in
favor of private ownership, but also
protects the rights of private property
which breeds these same diseases into
the social body that the rotten serum
Of which you speak breeds in the
human body-then why do you work
for that party of yours?" Another
question would I ask Miss Sire: 'If
capital is not the agency which injects
the rotten serum into the social body,
then what is the cause of wholesale
legalized murder which is called war,
what is the cause of prostitution, theft
and murder?" Miss Sire in her speech
mentioned "the mob in broadcloth and
high hats, who with clubs in their
hands, rule and control the state, be-
cause they are well organized. We,
too, must unite and the slogan shall
be zone for all and all for one" Then
| would have asked one more ques-
ton: Tell me, Miss Sire, this: Sup
pose you were to see striking workers
of certain industry ON the picket
line. would you speak to them Of
unity solidarity one for all and all
for one,' as you have spoken here to
us tonight? If so, tell me, did YOU
raise your voice in behalf of the 10000
men and women who are out on strike
in Passaic, N. j.? No, you did not,
and never would, because this would
be against the principles of your party,
for the party you represent protects
not human beings, but capital, which
is greater menace to mankind than
your pernicious serum"
l would have asked many more sim
liar questions, but this was not a
meeting for discussion. This was a
call to arms" A call to arms by
those who can utter nice words, but
who can do nothing else except talk.
