FRIDAY.
Texas aud in other states through which
the highway is to pass is made tip of
icsideuts along the route who arc in-
tereating themselves in making it a
permanent improved highway.
Texas it was said by delegates at the
convention Friday is somewhat tardy
in actual construction work compared
to other states through which the trail
passes. They point to the work iu Cali-
fornia where the trail is almost com-
pleted. and to Louisiana where the
state has provided money for bridges
over waterways which will remove seri-
ous obstacles to the route of the trail
as State Highway No. 1 and state
money will pay for building it.
Officers of the association were en-
thusiastic Friday morning at the pros-
pects for results iu Texas as a result
of the good attendance and expressed
the opinion that the mot-ting promises
to furnish the stimulus to local organi-
zations necessary to enable them to
carry out their part of the work.
Dinner Friday Night.
The convention was to begin at 12
o'clock. The business sessions were to
occupy the entire afternoon with the
delegates guests of civic clubs and as-
sociations of the city at a dinner Fri-
day night. The convention business
will be concluded Saturday.
Particular interest attaches to the
highway from the San Antonio view-
point iu that it will be an all-thc-year-
round route from coast to coast and
in the winter wheu other routes are
closed by snow and ice Sail Antonio
would profit largely from the tourist
traffic both ways. This city is about
mid-way from the ends of the proposed
highway. .

German Mork Turned French.
When the Germane went to Colmar In
Alsace a stork arrived with them hr mas-
cot. This bird built its nest under the
roof of a French cottage where it was
caught by the patriotic peasant nnd paint-
ed in broad stripes of red nnd blue like
the French flag. Thia caused great anger
among the German soldiers who searched |
the village but could not discover the
culprit.
An order was given to shoot the bird
flying the French colors. Fifty shot*
were fired at the bird which wounded in
the leg flew off in the direction of the
Voageft Mountains. But last summer af-
ter spending the winter in Algiers the
wounded bird again arrived under the
ogres of the Frenchman’s cottage safe
from the German sharpshooters although
carrying one wounded leg as an evidence
of th*ir brutality.
The colors are still vfvfd upon Us wings
and It has come to light that they were
painted there by a captain who had been
twice wound*d at Verdun and vas not
recognized by the Germans during their
occupation of Colmar.

A MATTER OF FAIR PLAY
Consider the plight you would be in if your
income of five years ago was all that you had
now to meet living expenses. You couldn’t pay
your rent buy clothes for yourself and family
and meet your household expenses.
Then how do you expect a traction company
to give the same service make improvements
pay interest on the investment and pay in-
creased bills for fuel labor and materials on the
five cent fare which was hardly sufficient even
in the old days?
Think this over and in all fairness you will
agree that it is the public duty to accept addi-
tional cost for street car service as to accept the
other increased costs that are incident to the
new conditions under which we live.
