BLESSED
At COL0RFUL
CEREMONY

Parrots. chickens, canaries, geese.
dogs, cats and other pets bedecked
with ribbons, bowed their heads rev.
erently as Father Gcrardo Alsina
blessed and sprinkIed them with holy
water at the religious ceremonies held
at San Felipe de Jesus church at 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
These services were held in COM
memoration of Saint Anthony Abad's
birthday an1iTcrsary, for according to
the traditions Of the church the Saint
when he was in the desert in the SER
vice Of God. blessed the animals to
cure them of ailments and diseases.
CUSTOM REVIVED.
With Sundays ceremonies Father
Alsina revived in San Antonio an
ancient Spanish custom widely prac-
ticed in European and Latin Ameri-
can countries, which has become
obsolete in the United States.
According to Father Alsina. in
Spain, on Saint Anthony's birthday
anniversary the animals which are to
receive the holy blessings parade in
an almost endless procession through
the streets of the city passing by the
cathedral or church where the bless
ing is to be bestowed. A priest from
u balcony sprinkles holy water on
them and invokes the blessings.
Usually the religious solemnity is
ended with a banquet and merry
Fiesta"
A throng of about 800 people from
the Mexican quarter of San Antonio
gathered with their pets in front of the
tiny church of San Felipe de Jesus
on Bank street Sunday. For hours
they waited patiently for Father
Alsina TO come out Of the church
and bestow the blessing on their ami
mails. Several automobiles were park
ed on both sides of the street.
TALKATIVE PARROT.
AS Father Alsina accompanied By
three altar boys emerged from the
church after the regular rosary ser
vices, he was surrounded by the anX-
ious crowd who followed him to the
churchyard where the blessings were
given.
There was an aged parrot, - years
old. owned by Mrs. Robert Leasing,
1876 East Lambert street. which, ac-
cording to his owner, is the most talk
alive parrot in its neighborbhood.
Perched docily upon her shoulder,
he talked incesantly before and after
the ceremonies but kept still when
Father Alsina passed him praying and
sprinkling holy water.
A barking and restless collie dog,
Teddy" owned by Mrs. George Gar
cia, 416 Probant street. also stopped
his barking and stood quiet during
the ceremonies.
Carrying white duck, gray with
dirt and mud. barefoot boy with
ragged clothes fought his way through
the dense crowd and knelt at the feet
of Father Alsina.

The Douglas branch of the Salvation
Army is greatly in need of aid in meet
ing the requests for assistance during
the last few days, according to an
pouncement of Capt. Paul T. Helms
Thursday. Clothing bedding, food, fuel
cash and anything. that can be used in
relieving suffering among the poor are
asked of the people of Douglas.
The request is not in the form of a
drive for funds on the part of the Sal
vation Army, but merely to ask Doug
las people to give whatever they can
spare. During the past few days there
has been such heavy demand for cloth
ing, bedding, food and fuel that the
Salvation Army store. at. 91e avenue
is almost depleted, of stock.
Any persons who have anything that
the Salvation Army can use in this
worthy work, or who feel able to con-
tribute some small sum of money in
helping the poor, are requested to tele-
phone Salvation Army headquarters at
1888 Thirteenth street, telephone GA,
before a. m, so that a driver can
call for the articles. Information of
such articles may also be sent in by
mail to the Salvation Army, Box Nc.
