YOUNG Silent
ON 'PAY-OFF'

Twenty.four hours after he re-
turned to Washington for the an
nounced purpose of paying OFF hun
dreds Of Government workers their
Christmas savings which he col
lected, and of facing pending Grim
,nal charges, Damon Young, for
rner clerk in the War Department,
has announced no plan for making
restitution.
Meanwhile those who have en-.
trusted months Of savings to
young, and whose Christmas holi-
DAYS will be made or broken by
his action, are torn between, hope
and despair. Approximately two
hundred persons are believed to
have deposited their funds with
Young before he disappeared with
out paying off,"
At police court, when Young
surrendered yesterday. and shortly
after he was placed under $500
bond. his attorney. r. j. Quigley.
promised to issue a statement later
in the day. Both the attorney and
Young also stated that Young would
"pay back every cent.
No Plan Announced
Later yesterday, Quigley said he
had not talked with Young, and
could not say Just what procedure
would be followed In paying back
the money.
He also stated that he had not
gone over the accounts to learn
what the amount of Yeung's liabili-
ties are. Attorney Quigley ex-
pressed the belief, however, that the
estimate Of $4,000 was too high.
Mr.. Quigley could not be reached
at his office today. 1t was said
that he was in conference with g.
client, but it could not be learned
whether this was Young. It is ex-
pected, however, that Young will
confide in his attorney today and
that public statement win be is
sued bearing out the promise made
yesterday when Young surrendered.
At the War Department today,
where Young formerly was en-
ployed, It was stated that he had
made no appearance there, and that
all that was known OF his return
was what had been read in the
newspapers.

NAVY
POLICY inks

The fight of the "big navy"
group will be carried into Con-
gressional debate despite the de-
termined stand Of the Administra-
ton for the budget. program, it
was indicated today.
The assurance which President
Coolidge Is understood to have
given Representative Butler R),
Of Pennsylvania. chairman Of the
committee, that the Administration
stands for adequate preparedness,
failed to appease the navy friends.
The $3.50 ratio OF the Washing
ton arms conference has become
the platform of the proponents of
strong first line of defense.
They demand the ratio be at
tanned not only in the arms limited
by the conference but also in sub
marines, aircraft and cruisers.
The hopefulness Of President
Coolidge for success Of another
naval arms conference IL not shared
by Chairman Butler and many
members of the naval officers COM
mittee. They assert that the
United States can only force dis
armament by embarking upon
preparedness program that serves
as a warning to the rest Of the
world.
Having already delyed into a
comparison of the American navy
with those Of Great Britain and
Japan, the committee called navy
experts to testify tomorrow on the
ability of the navy to man great
dirigibles in time Of war.

Progress Of the
Medical Profession

untiringly worked for. Legal measures were
recommended and successfully achieved.
Among these were: birth registration, sanitary
sewers, garbage disposal inspection of milk,
meat and other foods board of health, and
city hospital.
With the growth of the. society, meeting
places were shifted from homes and offices to
the courthouse, situated at this time on Soledad
street, and then to fraternal halls, and finally
to home of it's own. Permanent quarters for
society meetings. became necessity and this
was provided for in the form of public medical
library, supported by members of the profes.
sion.
Doctors became better acquainted with each
others capabilities, partnerships sprang into
being, and mutual aid and consultations asked
for were readily obtained. From this the pa
tients were greatly benefited.
The medical profession, by means of it's
group influence, helped in the moulding of
beneficial sanitary and health measures In
1907 the present Medical Practice Act of Texas
was passed. This act has been used as a model
by many other states.
The progress of medical education has been
for the benefit of the people, as illustrated by
our splendid hospitals, with all their modern
equipment, refinement in diagnosis, and COM
forts and conveniences.
Gradually better offices were established
and more thoroughly equipped profession was
brought about
Finally, but not least, came the need of a
building for the medical profession. This has
been made possible through the completion of
the Medical Arts Building which stands near
the Alamo, and spells the progress of the med
ical men and the community that they must
ever care for and guard.

few of, the outstanding points Of collective en-
deavors are known.
Between the years of 1886 and 1912, there
came to our wonderful valley of peace, two
colonies. The New Braunfels colony under the
leadership of Prince Salm Salm, established
their homes on the site now known as New
Braunfels. With this group was a surgeon,
Ferdinand Herff, who was graduate of Bres-
lau, Germany. The De Castro colony which
settled at Castroville, brought DR.. George Cup
PIES Scotchman, who graduated from Edin-
borough and had been made oficia de Sonta
(officer of sanitation) of France.
San Antonio was fortunate when these men
of education and culture settled here, to later
unite in a common cause, the welfare of our
community Through the efforts of these two
men, an organization of nine medical men was
formed for the study of civic problems and sci
entific advancement of the community. They
were granted charter as the BeXar Medical
Association, in September, 1853, and thus, dis
trict subordinate medical society composed of
BeXar and Medina counties, came into being.
Then in 1874, the West Texas Medical Society
was granted charter to run for twenty-five
years.
The reorganization of medicine took place
in 1903, and county medical societies were
formed, to become the single units in great
organization. These were organized into dis
trict societies, which in turn combined to form
the State Medical Association Finally all were
grouped into the American Medical Association
In the early days, the small societies met in
the homes and offices of the founders, where
public and medical questions of all kinds were
discussed. Local Improvements of great i'm
portance to the health of the community were

for the candidates who had pub
lished statements pledging them
selves to enforcement, coopera-
ton with the higher authorities
and the protection Of youth
against vicious influences.
Grateful
The mayor-elect, John Appel
gren, when interviewed, said
there was little to say at the
present time except that he sin
cerely appreciated the confidence
a plurality of the voters had ex-
pressed in him. He believed that
his election was the result of de-
claring plainly his position on the
issues. He predicts a prosperous
year and one of material develop
ment for the city and country. He
declined to make comment on the
subject of appointments.
The election of Mr.. Appelgren
leaves a vacancy on the council
and an alderman from the second
ward will be named by appoint
ment.
Mayor Thompson facetiously
remarked that he attribute his
defeat to a paucity Of votes.

HAROLD LLOYD'S FOR
HEAVENS SAKE" A RIOT.

Strict orders were given by
Harold Lloyd to the publicity and
advertising departments of Para
mount, that if any stories were
sent out on "For Heavens Sake"
his first Paramount release, pro-
duced by the Harold Lloyd Cor
poration, superlative adjectives
were to be thrown into the dis
card and made taboo.
But he didn't say word so far
as comparisons are concerned.
And it's only fair to let the pub
lie have some idea of how good
the picture really is. Those few
fortunates who have already seen
it, swear that For Heavens
Sake" which, by the way comes
to the Liberty Theatre Thursday
and Friday, is on the same high
level with such former Lloyd sue
cesses as "Grandma's Boy" and
''The Freshman"
It's not necessary to say an
other word. Any film which can
come up to those two-must be
good. Most likely, Lloyd will give
The devil to the chap who passed
The word along; butts not a
crime to tell the truth. That's
what the Constitution says-and

GORDON REELECTED

City election passed off quietly
Monday and light vote was
polled, possibly so per cent of
the total. Little attention had
been paid to registration. Over
80 voters deprived themselves of
their vote by neglecting to be
properly registered in the proper
precinct and thereby being open
to technical objection. Some
names had in some manner been
omitted from the poll list.

The thnee-cornered contest for
mayor proved rather close, John
