The prompt action of the Salvation Army
j in coming to the relief of hundreds oi
• destitute families in Corpus Cbrlstl was
: ■ I ted by Lieut. Col. George Woods as an
' other Incentive lor San Antonio to "go
j "ver the lop" in the Snlvatlou Army drive
! for $."0,000, which will bo launched here
I next week, in an addren before the regu
liar weekly luncheon of the t'ilj Club
Thursday noon at the Uunter llotf.
Col. Woods has Jus' returned from for
pus Chrisii. The Salvation Am y has
, taken over the refugee camp, he said, and
are operating ix army range* which feed
I hundreds ut homeless people daily. TenD
! have been erected, where several thousand
, people receive temporary shelter The
j teals are floored, and -• reened with mos
'(Ulto bar, and every effort has been made
to make the people as comfortable as
' possible. s
"Maybe you've not heard much of tin
Salvation Army's work down there. Tim
truth ot' the n atter is we've been,so bus)
j we forgot to take a press agent along,
| and we haven't even had time to not it v
I the papers. But the work's been going ot.
just the same, for that's what the Salva
tion Army is for -to help I lie fellow who
is down and out. no matter what the
emergency may be. We dan't work for
glory or honor, and you can tell by the
looks of ns that we're not working for
money It's the religion back of it that
keeps the Salvation Army going.
But the work in Corpus Christ! is only
one phase of the work of the activities of
the organization. Col. Woods >ald. He told
of the work of the army in Kranee, vers
briefly, and laid particular stress on the
rescue work being done in San Antonio
"The doughboys have told you all about
the Salvation Army lassies in France," he j
said. "The principal reason why San An
tonio should support the drive is because
of the rescue work we're doing here. It i
is the intention of the Salvation Am y to
spend every cent of the $50,000 right here, j
"The plan is to build a large community j
house, niodeled after the oriu in Oklahoma
City," he said, "where poor boys and girls
can find wholesome re reatlon, and where
girls can obtain shelter at small «-osl
We also intend enlarging our rescue home
on River Avenue. A maternity hospital is
also included in the plans. This hospital
would be entirely apart from the rescue
home, and would accommodate the wives
I of poor men. who could not afford the
j usual hospital charges."
Col. Woods was introduced by Jack
Burke, chairman for the day Mr. Burke,
1 speaking for the club, offered the co
. operation of the members in putting over
t he drive.
C. C. Williams, chairman of the Federal
Highway Council, was also a speaker at
I the luncheon Mr Williams advocated the
creation of a Federal Highway Conimis-
1 sion to care for large trunk lines between
the States, only in this way can the
1'nited States have a definitely connected
systeuv of highways, he said. He urged
the members of the City «'lull, to suppor*
the bill now before the Senate providing
lor a Federal highway commission, and a
special appropriation to be used by the
(Jovernment in maintaining the principal
highways connecting various sections o;
the country.

The oil tanks of the Sunset Fuel and Oil
Company, at Port Aransas, which had been
reported demolished, arc not so badly dam-
aged but what they can be salvaged, ac-
cording to Clinton Kearny. San Antonio
engineer, who returned from Port Aransas
yesterday. Behind the sand hills a num-
ber of houses were left standing, he said,
and are at present occupied. In the opin-
ion of Mr. Kearny, damage at Port Aran-
sas is not so great as in Corpus Christi.
ltockport and Aransas Pass.
Mr. Kearny expressed the opinion that
the dyke built 00 Mustang and St. Joe
Islands would have prevented damage to
the port altogether had they been higher
and of more substantial structure. Ac |
cording to Mr. Kearny, there is no reason
for abandoning the port, and rebuilding I
the dykes iu more substantial fashion will
prevent future danger to residents there, i
I he oil tanks, too, should be rebuilt, Mr.
Kearny says, for with a more substantial j
foundation they would have weathered the 1
storm The damage to the docks was 1
caused by the British cotton steamer Me
man, which was anchored at Port Aransas
during the storm, he said. The main part
ot the docks remains intact.
"There's absolutely no excuse for aban
doning the port," Mr. Kearny said, "Cit
liens of this section should uw ail their
influence to prevent it,"
' "rl'"s Christ! the vexing question
is whether to rebuild the city as It was
ami riBk hrlng swept uwa.v by another
stnrni, nr whether to remove the entire
"t.v to the Mutts, entailing n I.iks of thou-
sands of iloilars to the merchants. Then,
is also so,no talk „f lM,i|.jl,iK a son wall

THE CHIROPRACTOR AND THE X-RAY
Chiropractic is the scientific method of adjusting the sub -
luxated vertebrae, to relieve nerve impingement, and therefore
remove the ruuse of disease. The Chiropractic works on the
spine only, and makes his examination by palpating down the
tips of the spinous processes with the tips of the fingers
lie lists the subluxations, as he flndfc them, which is exactly
:ts lie feels them, and Is as near correct as feeling can be.
There are many things, however, which do not make this
method infallible, such as bent spinous processes, exostotlc
growths and other abnormalities. It is here that the X Hay
is brought into use. as these plates show the condition as it
actually exists. It is the safe method, and recommended by
I he (ireat Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic Our X Ray
rind Klinoyeopic laboratory is the most completely equipped
in the Southwest.
