WANT CHAUTAUQUA HERE
Southern Conference for Education
and Industry Invited to Conte
I An invitation has been extended
he Southern Conference for Edu-
?atlon and Industry to hold its con-
emplated Chautauqua of the South
n -San Antonio. President S. C.
vile of the San Antonio Real Estate
Board wired Dr. B. Johnson. Rock
1111 S. C.. president of the pro-
>osed Chautauqua as follows: "On
lehalf of the State of Texas and the
?lty of San Antonio we cordially
urge you to consider the advantages
>ur community offers as the ideal
ocation for a Chautauqua of the
South.”
The plans for the big project pro-
ide for the construction of bulld-
ogs and equipment costing avprox-
mately 12000000 which when
completed will compare favorably
with those at Lake Chautauqua
few York state.
]LD FOLKS NEED
“CftSCARETS'' FOR
LIVER BOWELS
Salts calomel pills act on
bowels like pepper acts
in nostrils.
Enjoy life! Don't stay bilious
sick headachy and
constipated.
’ Get a 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to the
ipowels some regular help else they
[juffer from constipation. The condl-
* ion Is perfectly natural. It is just
is natural as it is for old people to
'palk slowly. For age is never so ac-
ive as youth. The muscles are less
plastic. And the bowels are muscles.
I. So all old people need Cascarets.
pne night as well refuse to aid weak
byes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow-
Els must be kept active. This is im-
portant at all ages but never so
vnuch as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh phy-
sics. Youth may occasionally whip
ihe bowels into activity. But a lash
ran't be used every day. What the
■powels of the old need is a gentle and
Jiatural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
luch tonic Is Cascarets and they cost
inly 10 cents per box at any drug
rtore. They work while you sleep.
URGES SUPPORT
FOR CATHDLIC
ASSOCIATION
Father E. F. Garesche Sees
Golden Opportunity for
Women’s Organization.
NEED IS POINTED OUT
Outlines Activities of Sodali-
ties or Civic Centers
Over Country.
The formation and maintenance
of a San Antonio Catholic Women's
Association on lines similar to the
Y. W. C. A. was urged by Father
Edward F. Garesche of St. Louis
Monday night before an audience
which packed the assembly room of
the Gunter Hotel. Father Garesche
was introduced by Father G. P.
Mulvaney C. S. V.
"There is a golden opportunity in
San Antonio for such an associa-
tion.” said Father Garesche. "The
Catholic Woman's Association al-
ready organized and chartered by
the state has acquired property
near the Alamo for just such a pur-
pose. While the right to the prop-
erty has been acquired it has not
been paid for. We must have these
organizations in every city in the
country and now is the time for
San Antonio to gain the glory of
being one of the pioneers in the
movement.
To Be Self-Supporting.
"You can put a building that will
make your civic center the admira-
tion of the country and maintain
it under a system that will cause it
to be practically self-supporting. It
should have baths a gymnasium
offices for rent to Catholic organi-
zations. a dormitory and an assem-
bly hall or auditorium.
"I urge all present to put them-
selves on record as suporting It and
suggest that you find out if you
can not make some personal sacri-
fice in order to give more.”
Father Garesche has organized
sodalities or civic centers and so-
dality unions in a number of cities
in the United States. In explaining
how he came to be engaged in this
work and the need of these organiza-
tions. he said:
"A great change has come over
the face of society in the last thirty
years. Instead of a people clinging
to their homes we now’ have « mov-
ing population and there arc many
Catholics drifting from one place
to another. The effect of modern
inventions—the moving picture the
automobile etc. —has been to make
us live a sort of community life go-
ing out after our pleasures instead
of enjoying staying at home. Some-
thing must be done to re-establish
on a solid basis the sanctity of the
home.
Immigrant^ Need Help.
"There are 15.000.000 immigrants
in the United States and of this
number no less than 7000.000 are
Catholics. About 2.500000 of them
can not speak English. They need
schools to teach them the language
and good citizenship.
"The poor are overwhelmingly
Catholic. This is a glory to the
church but it imposes an obligation.
The hardships and dangers to young
girls working for their living are
manifold and 9.000.000 of them are
working for less than a decent liv-
ing wage. They must have amuse-
ment and recreation and as the
clergy is too burdened with its pres-
ent duties to be able to spare the
time the laity must organize and
carry on the work of supplying this
need. A well supported Catholic
press should also be built up.
"Then there is the problem of the
foreign missions from which the
European war hag withdrawn the
greatest part of their support; the
problem of Catholic sociability and
companionship and that of lodgings
for young men.
"The Y. M. C. A. is trying to fill
these needs. And let me say here
that it is a noteworthy fact that the
sodalities in Europe are doing the
work that in this country is done b)
the Young Men's Christian Associa-
tion.
PraLsca Y. M. C. A. System.
"I have been studying the work
and the organization of the Y. M.
C. A. It has a staff of paid work-
ers who devote all their time to it
and it has reduced its organization
to a business-like system. Its meth-
od and system and the fact that it
stirs up the spirit of self-sacrifice
are its great points of strength. Cath-
olics must also base their organi-
zation on self-sacrifice and lay di-
rectors must manage it. Another of
the great points of strength of the
Y. M. C. A. is its unity throughout
the country. The Catholics must
start soon if they are not to be left
away behind.
"There are 360000 women in the
Y. W. C. A. and 4 0000 of them are
Catholics. The men's association
tends to athletics and the women s
to dormitories and sociability. Some
Catholics drift away from the
church through these associations
and many probably 500000 will not
join them who would join similar
Catholic organizations. The church
must supply this want.”
In describing the sodalities or
civic centers. Father Garesche said:
"The sodality through devotfon
to the Virgin aims to inculcate
three things—personal holiness help
of neighbor and defense of church.
It is for people of every age and
class and either sex. There is great
need of more efficient organization
In the parishes and of an organiza-
tion co-ordinating their public work.
The sodality aids in building up and
organizing parishes and the sodality
union gives a centralized organiza-
tion for the latter purpose. It will not
interfere with existing Catholic or-
ganizations and the church is es-
tablishing them in schools and par-
ishes.
Activities of Sodalities.
"The members of a sodality form
groups to follow whatever activity
they want such as committees for
various charities church work etc.
To promote city-wide activities the
sodality union a federation of the
individual sodalities Is used. The
chairmen of the parish committees
form the union committees and
they after discussing questions rec-
ommend courses of action to the in-

TODAY’S BEAUTY HINT
It is not necessary to shampoo
quite so frequently if your hair is
properly cleansed each time by use
of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers may be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox obtained from your
druggist in a cup of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates a thick
lather soothing and cooling in its
action as well as beneficial to scalp
and hair. After rinsing the hair
dries quickly and evenly developing
a bright luster and a soft fluffiness
that makes it seem very heavy.
dividual sodalities. General meetings
are held periodically. In the sodali-
ties of Boston alone which are about
to be organized into a union there
are 50000 members.
"What we need is to get e\ ery
Catholic doing his or her share in
the work of the church. We have
the people now but few of them do
any work and unless they do the
work of the church will fail. The
great problem of the church is to
create interest and to organize. We
should form an organization paral-
lel to and supplying the needs of the
young Catholics in th e Y. M. C. A.
and the Y. W. C. A. It must be one
great organization and it must have
the same general organization as
the two societies mentioned. We must
have the support of all Catholics and
all of them must be interested in

At the close of the lecture cards
were passed around on which the
members of the audience were asked
to pledge themselves to give various
sums to the Catholic Woman's Asso-
ciation of San Antonio.

RUTH BINfiAJUN PUTS ARTISTICALLY
AT CONCERT IN COMPLIMENT TO HER
Exceeds Even the Expectations of Her Friends in Program Covering a
Wide Range —Mary Gaj I Aubrey and Orin Kirkpatrick Are Well Re-
ceived.
Ruth Bingaman pianist demon-.
strated her right to her reputation |
for talent artistry and skilled per- (
formance at Beethoven Hail Mon- ;
day night. Though she has mane
other appearances before San An-
tonio audiences the Monday evening I
concert tendered by the citizens of
San Antonio in compliment to Miss
Bingaman was the Hrst opportunity
given the public to form a compre-
hensive idea of her ability as a pian-
ist. She not only fulfilled expecta-
tions but exceeded them.
The concert as a whole was a pro-
nounced success. Mary Gayl Aubrey
contralto and Oran Kirkpatrick
tenor who assisted Miss Bingaman
met with an enthusiastic reception.
While the fact that all three per-
formers are San Antonians may have
added to the pride of the audience
it did not influence their applause.
On the contrary it seemed to add a |
critical attitude to their appreciation I ■
which increased the value of the
spontaneous response.
Hall Is Well Filled.
The crowd that attended the con-
cert was representative of the music
lovers of San Antonio. The house 1
was comfortably filled and the clos-
I est attention was given the perform-
ers. Young girls members of the
various musical clubs of the city
I acted as ushers.
The program was opened by a
group played by Miss Bingaman.
I “Chromatic Fantasie” ( Ba< h >. "Tam-
bourin”. (Rameau 1683-1764. Go-
dowsky) in which she immediately
won her audience's attention.
Miss Aubrey followed with four
songs: (a 1 "Nur wer die Sehnsucht
kennt” < Tschaikowsky). (b) "Verge-
bliches Staendchen" (Brahms). <c).
' Wigenlied ’ (Mozart) "The Winds
Are Calling" (Landon Ronald). As
an encore she gave the contralto
aria from "Samson et Dahla" (Saint-
Saens). Miss Aubrey has a contral-
to voice of richness and beauty
combining strength and sweetness.
Received With Enthusiasm.
Oran Kirkpatrick was received
with great enthusiasm. His voice is
a tenor of wide range strength and
pleasing quality. He was obliged to
respond to several encores. With
the first number of his group of
songs the aria "Celeste Aida" ho
won his audience completely. His
other songs were "In Waldos Ein-
samkeit" and "Wir wandelte.i” by
Brahms. "For You Alone." by Gvchl
and "’Neath de Willers in de Gras v .”
(’owles. Mr. Kirkpatrick and Miss
Aubrey were obliged to repea■ the
duet from 11 Trovatore Home to
Our Mountains’’ (Verdi).
The number which called out Miss
Bingaman's greatest artistry was the
Beethoven Sonata Pathetique. Mar
interpretation of this showed unucr-
stabding. technique and a decided
poetic (juality. Her final group l^d
