The Wheel of Fortune, weekly pub
LEGATION of the San Antonio club, has
started in October, 1912, and was the
first of such club organs in the In
ternational Association although near
ly all the clubs now publish them.
1t is notable fact that the first
writing for publication ever done by
J. II. Sprague was in The Wheel Of
those early days. Mr.. Sprague, then
n San Antonio jeweler. now devotes
all his time TO writing and is a regu-
lar contributor TO the Saturday Even;
ing Post, Scribner's and many other
magazines of the highest class.
Still other community activities of
the Rotary Club included: Purchase
and presentation to the city of two
black swans: installation Of colored
electric lights along the river in the
downtown district; dedication OF the
Commerce street bridge during the
administration of former Mayor Gin
ton G. Brown and several other enter
prises of like import.
Following the international cOnven-
ton of 1914 which was held in HOus-
ton the club entertained many Of the
delegates who made the side trip to
San Antonio. The district confer
ence of 1918 also was held in Sar
Antonio when delegates from all the
clubs in Texas attended and were en-
tertained. In this same line Of work
the San Antonio club has helped to
organize clubs in Austin. Becville,

San Antonio is a convention city.
Conventions mean much TO any city

and that is especially true Of the visi-
tor to San Antonio. attractive in all
respects as it is. And then the con-
vention of our neighbors fosters good
relations in the surrounding territory.
More so now than ever should and
will San Antonio have more and larger
conventions, equipped as it is with
the accommodation of the magnifi-
cent new auditorium.

Chester Crowell, writers who have
gained national fame in their profes-
sion and who have been members OF
the club. Bert J. Mclean, another
member, also has had several articles
in the magazine.
GOOD ATTENDANCE.
Prominence also has come TO the
club in the International Association
through its uniformly high percentage
of attendance in the last four years.
During that time it has been among
the first ten in attendance among
clubs of its approximate size and
several times has lacked only a point
or two Of taking the lead.
The revolving Student Loan Fund
of the club has received national no
tice because of the success with which
il was raised and is administered.
Rotary and other clubs and in some
cases firms and individuals all over
the United States have sought inform
alton regarding the fund and upon
being supplied have instituted similar
help for deserving students desiring
60 attend college. The San Antonio
clubs fund amounts 10 $4,000 and
reyolves over a four year period. Each
wear from 30 to 40 loans are made
10 boys and girls who otherwise would
not be able to attend college.
The Student Loan Fund is perhaps
the greatest of the club activities but
n number of others deserve mention
in any review of the clubs work dur
ing the fourteen years of its eIist-
ence. -
CLUB ACTIVITIES.
The Rotary community Christmas
tree was started in 1913 and is an
annual feature of San Antonio's holi
day week largely looked forward to
by old and young alike. Each year
a handsome cedar tree is erected on
Alamo Plaza and on one evening just
preceding Christmas toys. candy and
fruit are distributed from it 10 the
orphans and poor children Of the city.
The tree is beautifully lighted and
decorated and is one of the big al
fractions for all throughout the week

Another club activity which has
brought pleasure TO thousands OF
children is represented in the burros
maintained at Breckenridge Park for
the free use OF the little folk. \
member Of the club conceived the plan
and funds were raised in the club
for purchase and presentation to the
city Of the saddled and bridled fleet
of fift,2n which ten years ago in
augurated the service to the children
Of San Antonio and TO those of the
tourist population. The April issue

HUMAN FLY TO
CLIMB GADSDEN
BUILDING TODAY

"The secret of success in any haz-
ardous occupation is to fight off all
thought of fear" is the statement of
Babe White, world famous Human
Fly" who will give two exhibitions of
daredevil nerve sin Douglas today by
climbing the Gadsden building with his
bare hands whites first exhibition
will be at 2:3O this afternoon, and the
second will be given at 1880 tonight,
at which time he will perform under
the brilliant glare Of a huge search
light.
White, who is a psychologist as well
as a finely trained athlete, has never
suffered a fall during his II years of
stunt performing. He states that his
work as human fly requires espe-
cially developed muscles, (wh1 he he
keeps in constant condition by steady
training Reverting to the subject of
fear, he states:
Il am accustomed to divide fear into
two classes-the fear that makes one
slump, or just go weak, or the frantic
sort of fear that causes one to hang on
for dear life. They seem to be equally
dangerous. / try to conquer both and,
as fatter of fact, they never appear
unless l am very tired.
"As strength decreases, fear steps in.
Whenever j feel myself growing tired,
try to regain confidence by a slight
rest, or if that is impossible, Danish
it by substitution; that is, think of
something else for a minute. 1t would
surprise you to know some of the
things the human fly thinks Of when
he is momentarily stuck on the side
of some building and striving to fight
off thoughts of falling by thinking of
other things"
Besides climbing buildings with his
hands alone, White goes the average
human fly one or two better by per-
forming death -defying stunts in the
air. Among his more daring exploits
are those of balancing himself on the
ball at the top of a spire, walking a
slack rope between two buildings 25O
feet high in Mexico City and hanging
by his teeth, one hand or one leg from
an airplane in flight.
Whites first performance here will
take place in the afternoon, at which
time he will wear bright colored cloth
ing. At night, while working under
the glare of the searchlight, he will
wear white clothes so that his move
ments- may better be seen. He invites
everyone in Douglas to witness his
performances here.
