gates to be held the following March. The

stitute was to HI.
Final action oil tho resolution was de-
layed because of tho time having arrived

ing by an express demand of tho people.

sition from two sources, there bring pre-

T SUFFER
Use Soothing Musterole
When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. It draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustanl. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec-
ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neural-
gia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the back or
oints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises,
chilblains, frosted feet — colds of the
chest (it often prevents pneumonia). It
Is always dependable.

Under tho terms of the resolution pre
l'erred by the House two delegates e.i« ii
from the Senatorial and congressional dis
trlcts are to he selected in Si arch and the
convention to lie called in June of 1920.
Opposition to the 'ailing of a convention
at this time is advanced by noiii« members,
who cite unsettled conditions as a reason.
together with absence from the State of
thousands of men who are now serving
their country in France.
The Committee on Constitutional Amend-
ments this afternoon reported out unani-
mous in favor of the resolution by llepre-
seutativo Richards of Caldwell to provide
for dividing net profits of state prison
larms and systems us recommended by
Governor Habby.
Tho House passed to its third reading
the Caldwell bill making an appropriation
for cleaning the State library.
The bill by Senator Buchanan declaring
pipe lines cornwou carriers and placing
them under the jurisdiction of the Ball-
road, Commission was passed to Its third
reading. 'J he bill was amended by llagby
of l.avuca to include all lines carrying
fuller's earth, a process for refluiug oil.
The bill removes any restriction as to
size, the maximum now bring eight inches,
Osborne of kaufuiann discussed tho dif-
ferences between the House and Senate
resolution. The Senate resolution by Mc-
Nealus provides he said, a selection of
delegates at tho time the people spoke
ou the amendment. Under tills plan lie
said delegates would be selected without
knowing whether the proposition would
carry. Mr. Osborne wanted to first sub-
mit it to the people. The House measure,
lie said, would call the convention whether
the people want it or not. The resolution,
he said, came before an appropriation of
HOO.OUO.
Scott of Jackson opposed, as a signer
of the House minority report, any effort
to call a convention at this time, or with-
out first submitting tbe question to the
people. He declared the platform silent
ou the matter, therefore not a popular
demand.
Terrell of Cherokee declared the pres-
ent. Constitution now out of date, as is
evidenced by the number of aiucudmeut
measures before the present session, uiauy
of which have been passed. lie is de-
clared tbe Constitution delegates to the
Legislature power to call such a conven-
tion. Mr, Terrell declared the talk about
destroying the homestead law a Joke; that
the present homestead law dishonest, be-
cause it permits men to avoid their debts
by exempting large holdings.
Bertram of llopklus moved tbe previous
question. Judge. McCord of Gregg closed
the debate on tbe Osborne substitute. He
said the Legislature has no legal right
to call the convention and favored sub-
mitting the proposition to the people.
The question, he said, did not euter into
the campaign issues and therefore not a
popular demand. The substitute was
adopted by a vote of 98 to -4.
Bagby of Lavaca offered to strike out
the caption and took the floor to discuss
the measure. Mr. Pag by submitted that
/.t tho present time, conditions are not
ripe for calling the convention or writ-
ing a new Constitution because of the un
certainty of the public mind.
Time for consideration of local bills
having arrived, the whole matter weut over
until tomorrow.
Heard of Milam gave Jiotice that tomor-
row be will move to reconsider the vote
by which the House passed the Fair-
child resolution proposing to Increase the
pensions of Confederate veterans. Mr.
Heard takes Issues with the statement
that there is now $1,000,000 surplus in
the fund and submits figures to show
that $107,257.93 is all that was available
at the last report. Me will propose an
increase in the tax rate of J cents to in-
crease the pay. This will give, he said.
;m increase of only about $5, making about
$30 a quarter.
Representative I. 15. Reeves, who gave
notice of minority report,,on the sub com
uiittee report made by ths eoinmittee which
invent igated the prisons of the State, will
introduce a resolution in tl»e House to--
morrow asking a Joint committee from
the House and Senate to Investigate tho
matter of changing the locution of the
present systems and to make recommenda-
tions for certain Improvements in the
rcnair and manufacturing plants of tho
prisons
The House refused to concur In the Sen-
ate amendments to the House bill to In-
crease tho pay of court stenographers be-
cause tho Senate added a number of coun-
ties to the original list which was for tho
few larger counties of the State. A free
conference committee was appointed.
The House went into recess at tl o'clock
p. m. to convene at 10 o'clock tomorrow

court that tho defendant claims the power
thus to favor add prefer certain individuals

adequate consideration, and has declared

San Arftonio is threatened with failure for
the first time in putting orer a war sub-
scription. The campaign closed officially
Thursday but as the funds have not been
subscribed in the full quota allotted this
district it has been announced thai at-
tempts will be made to redeem the good
name of San Autonio and put the "city,
over the top" and that booths and solici-
tors will continue their efforts until the
full quota bas bee® raised.
Letters have been sent to all lodges,
fraternities and other large organizations
urging that they get behind the movement
and help to make the campaign a success.
It is pointed out in these letters that the
good reputation of San Antonio is at
stake, for only about one-fourth of the
amount assessed has been raised, and that
Immediate uctiou is necessary.
Bexar County is asked to raise $96,000
for tbe r.'lief of Armenians, Syrians and
Greeks, people who have been Christians
for S«H> years and are starving and dying
by the hundreds daily. It is estimated
that this amount will save 7,000 for one
month or keep life In the bodies of 800 for
a year.
Further relief measures are planned for
Sunday when Col. .T. E. Shelly will organ
isse polo matches and other athletics for
the purpose of raising special benefit
funds. Aerial exhibitions will be a part
of tbe day's activities by courtesy of Col.
H. c. Pratt, commandant at. Kelly Field.
A special feature of the program planned
by Colonel Shelly will be a jump from a
falling airplane in a parachute of original
design and invention by H, W. Iiottrlell of
Kelly Field.
Bottrlell bas participated in a number
of these parachute Jumps during other pa-
triotic fund campaigns and to most San
Antonians he needs no introduction. For
the last few months he has been detached
from the 145th Aero Squadron, his Kelly
Field organisation, anil bas been making
experiments with a parachute which will
be practicable for airplane use to enable
aviators to free themselves from wrecked
planes in air. It is this parachute he will
use Sunday if it is possible for him to
participate and this will be the first prac-
tical demonstration of such a parachute In
America. The Jump will be made from a
machine which has been thrown into a
nose dive in order that, the conditions may
bo identical to those under whifh a falling
flier would have to quit his machine.

In order that discharged negro soldiers
be shown some appreciation of their serv-
ices iu lb-- a mi v a movement baa been
started by the Young Men's Christian As-
sociation which may result in the organ-
ization of a uegro branch of the associa-
tion being established here. The imme-
diate purpose of the movement, however,
is to furnish recreation and entertainment
for the returning negro soldiers of Sail
Antonio.
Professor K. D. Cordon. State secretary
for Voung Men's Christian Association
work among the negro soldiers with head-
quarters at Dallas, arrived in the city
Wednesday to co-operate with A. D.
George, soldiers' secretary, in directing the
movement. An executive committee con-
sisting of tho negro pastors of the city
and two laymen from each church was ap-
pointed Wednesday to woa uuder the su-
pervision of the Y. M. O. A. Dr. S. J.
Johnson is chairman and O. J. Carter is
secretary.
A subcommittee of three was named to
select a suitable place to equip recreation
rooms for tho discharged negro soldiers. A
negro secretary will probably be employed
and will have headquarters at this build-
Ing. A banquet for the discharged negro
soldiers similar to the one recently given
the while soldiers, will be staged as soon
as the committee can make the necessary
arrangements. This will be the first event
of this kind In the State. Funds will be
furnished bv the Natioual War Work Coun-
cil of the V. M. C. A.
The committee will be busy this week
In securing the names of every discharged
negro soldier and each soldier Is requested
to send In bis name ami address to some
member of the committee.
It is hoped that out of this temporary
work will develop a movement for the es-
tablishment of a permanent Y. M. C. A.
for the negroes of San Antonio. Few
cities of the sire of San Antonio are with-
out an organisation of this kind, ami Y.
M. C. A. men feel that there Is an urgent
need for It.

TEXAS POSTMASTERS MEET
AT MINERAL WELLS MAY 27
Major Bell and Commissioner Ueuer-
mann, together with a number of county
officials and representatives of the Cham
her of Commerce, visited < amp Normoylc
Thursday in company with several army
officers, lo look over the improvements
being made there and discuss the better-
ment of the road leading from the city to
the camp.
The visitors were greatly surprised at
the size and substantial character of the
buildings being erected there by the Gov
ernment and are thoroughly convinced that
tho camp and shops are to be permanent
Mayor Bell says that it looks like tht
Government was getting ready to hold it
world's fair, Judging from the si/.e of the
buildings, and all are of concrete aud steel
construction.
The officials of the camp are not satis-
fied with the road conditions between tbe
camp and San Antonio aud are urging that
a more direct hard-surfaced road be con-
structed. In order to make a direct route
tho road would pass through private prop-
erty owned by the Coleman-.Fulton Com-
pany and W. D. Malone, and both of these
parties have agreed to donate a thirty-
loot roadway through their holdings, if
the city aud county will pave the entire
distance.
However, neither the camp officials or
the city aud county officers believe that a
thirty-foot road would be wide enough to
accommodate the heavy travel between the
two points und an effort will be made to
sc ure a fifty-foot highway.
A direct road would bring the camp
within a little over four miles from the
center of the city, or about one mile from
the city limits. This would leave about a
mile of the road in Bexar County. Tbe
city and county officials agree that this
road should be paved aud are willing to
bend every effort to do so at the earliest
possible moment. This will require about
n mile of pavement inside the city and
something over a mile in the county.

Texas Independence Day and George
Washington's Birthday were jointly cele-
brated by the students of the Brackenridge
High School Thursday morning with an
Interesting program of songs, music and
patriotic speeches.
David Griffin, song orgunt/.er of the War
Camp Community Service, led in tho sing-
ing of National liymns aud popular war
songs. After the audience had finished
singing "America," Nat Washer made a
brief talk, touching on the significance of
both anniversaries. This was followed by
an address of welcome to the new fresh-
man class by Marshall Johnston, principal
of the school.
The program, although primarily to ob-
serve the two holidays, is part of a general
plan of Mr. Griffin's to promote the sing-
ing of both popular and patriotic songs
1n the schools of the city, and in business
houses with a large number of employes.
A number of the larger business houses
have agreed to start, one day in the week
with tt sing, to include everyone in the firm
from the office boy to tbe geueral man-
ager
The wffkl. i-ommuolty sings for the en-
