, Internationa^ Newspaper Display Week
was a decided success in San Antonio, ac-
dfrfdlpg to the store keepers who gave
special attention to window decorations.
Shores were attracted Into the stores who
might have been casual pasgersby and
tttflpy became purchasers for the reason
uplt something in the window was por-
H#yed for them too forcibly to resist,
waffho windows inspected yesterday are
Sgt to be considered least because last.
Sfcine of the displays visited yesetrday j
ui among the most attractive in the city.
They are as follows:
iMSrafonolas re the basis of the San
AHioiiio Music Company's display. In the |
left. window there were three of the ex-
that exceeds those of Whisenant's Drug
Store at the corner of Travis Street and
Avenue C. lu the Travis Street window
is an assortment of goods <>11 display tfit
Indicate an entirely up to snuff stock
within.
The display star.ts with cigarettes on the
top row of shelves. Toilet kits lor men
and especially interesting to soldiers fol-
low. There are wrist watches galore.
Aluminum ware adds to the windows de
luxeness. Soap boxes, and shaving cups
in this metal are shown.
A line of toilet goods for men follows.
Lather Kreem is a specialty. Other shav-
ing creams, tooth powders ami talcums are
shown. Itelow is a line of pipes and mani-
cure sets. Shaving brushes and razor
blades adjoin them. Safety razors, flash-
lights, hair brushes ami thermos bottles
complete one of the strongest windows
seen.
In the left front window is a gum dis-
play. Gum displays are plentiful this
week and this is one nf the best. In the
right window Lazell's talcums predominate
with tootli brushes again. There is also
a well designed placard boosting the sale
of Liberty bonds with a picture of the
President.* At the top the window is
draped with a I'nited States flag in crepe.
The II. F. (Joodrieh Co. window is novel
and clever to the Nth. degree. A large sign
at the rear announces in motor vernacular
and large hand painted tppe that it is
1.004 miles to the largest rnbber factory
making everything in rubber. At the left
and at the right is a large tire. Also at
the right is a life sized placard of a news-
boy selling The Express which, of course,
contains the advertisement of the company.
Guide books are set here and there and
on the window floor is a large road map
of Texas. These, with an inner tnbe in a
box, complete a display that has "pep" In
every cubic inch.
LANTERN DISPLAY ATTRACTIVE.
If Diogenes were to try one of the lan-
terns displayed in the windows of the. True
ger nardware Store he might have 1 >ss »1n-
fieulty in locating the honest man he was
seeking. But here are lanterns better than
a person finds every day.
The lantern display Is in the left window
and te display is as superior as the lan-
terns. There are several varieties includ-
ing the electric kind. A large electric lan-
tern forms the center of the display and

• The left window of Herman's Drug
Store is devoted to Coca Cola advertising,
cMefly. Posters of cardboard assist the
display. Cough medicines also form
lights. All of them will appeal especially
to farmers and ranchmen and other per-
sons with work to do at night.
In the right window guns and ammuni-
tion form the basis of the display. The
guns are rifles and shotguns, hot.li single
shot and repeating. Arranged around them
is the ammunition.
Tlie feature of the window is a display
of trench mirrors made of a high-grade of

this street will be seen many broken down
jitneys and In the center many scattered
packs of greasy, marked cards; those who
travel this way leave the money that be-
longs to the many in the hands of a few.
When these men get home, they will not
have the price of a breakfast and unless
the folks kill a fatted calf, they will go
hungry. IIow much better to go down the
narrow path of heads up. pockets full, and

furnished by the French and. Hrltlsh au-
thorities to the American-Hrltlsh-French-
Relgian Hllnd Relief War Fund, of 590
Fifth Avenue, New York, show that there
are in England, France and Helglum more
than .'{.000 soldiers who have been totally
blinded in the war and nearly '-,."i,ooo
blinded in one eye, a large proportion of
whom will eventually lose the sight of
the other as the result of shock or of

by explosions or amputation, the loss of
both arms or both legs, or a leg and a
hand, and in many cases have been ren-

Consider for a moment what this means.
Try to imagine the tragedy, the horror
of It! Hut you cannot, the thing is im-
possible. To understand It at all one
must be hero, In the midst of it, seeking
what there is to see iu the earnest desire
to help the sufferers and alieviate their
torture of mind and body, and undergo
one's self the anguish of such a quest, un-
dertaken in order that we Americans may
be privileged to minister to the victims'
stricken in this particularly horrible man-
ner who have fallen by the way along the
Via Dolorosa that leads to the salvation
of the world.
This is u situation with which no gov-
ernment. no Red Cross can cope satis-

Thanks to the liberality of the British
public who have subscribed £i,f»00,000 to
care for their blinded, there will be no
further need for the A. H. F. R. to help
St. Dunstan's, the great Institution In Lon-
don under the direction of Sir Arthur
Pearson (himself blind), except to con-
tribute 10 per cent from our general fund
for the after-care of Its graduates. The
French, however, have been too occu-
pied with the war on their own territory
and their resources have been too severely
taxed for It to be possible for them ade-
quately to aid their blinded.
A final word. 1 should like te em-
phasize that the blinded soldiers who
stumble from the battle-field, having made
the supreme sacrifice of their sight so
that those they left behind might never
witness the scenes that froze their blood
and so that all peoples might develop
In freedom and peace for all time, want
neither pity nor charity. They ask only
a chance to take their places again among
their fellow men equipped to earn their
own living at an honest trade. You ana
yours, whom they have helped to save,
owe help to them in your turn and are
glad of the opportunity to extend It. Do
it right now!

An offber of artillery, wandering along
Ninth Street, on his way to division head-
quarters yesterday afternoon, met one of
the men of bis command hobbling along
ami leading one of the cavalry horses be-
longing to the regiment.
"What's the trouble. Curlew?" asked the
lieutenant, 'and why aren't you riding?"
"Yessir." replied the roolrle as he hur-
riedly mounted his nag and started down
j the road.
I The lieutenant happened to glance back
J a few second later Just iu time to see the
1 iccruit, again dismounted, leading his
j horse around the corner. He hurried bacn
' iiud called the recruit over to him.
What's the big idea?" he demanded.
) The rookie, more or less flustered, salut
ed and thou stepped over and "talked fast"
t" his commanding officer for a few nun
utes. As he talked, the lieutenant began
to smile, then finally laughed outright
"Well. I've tried to tell you Curlew, to
grip the horse with your knees and you
wouldn't slide so much. And if you d Ml t
slide, you won't get hi —and the rest
in a lower tone. "<;<» o*pr to the regi
mental infirmary and get some soothing
salve."
The lieutenant was laughing to himself
a!! the way to headquarters, and when he
told the story, the majority of the officers
enjoyed h little laugh themselves.
I know. I've been afflicted with 'em
since we started lessons In equitation,"
admitted one of the officers.
<if course, anyone not in on the show
wonders what " 'cm** is, but if you have
never ridden and do a little riding today,
you'll get "'em."

the task which the American-British-

undertook two and a half years ago and
to which it has devoted its sole and con
stunt energies with a large measure of
success, thanks to the generosity of the
American public.
Let me tell just what we require in
order to carry on tills constructive work
to which its founders and their voluntary
staff are devotlug their own money, time
aud lives:
We want thirty generous-hearted Ameri-
cans each to adopt for life one blinded
soldier with both arms or hands ampn
tated; £5,000 set aside by each donor will
more than provide the pension of 1,200
francs per year required, which will dou-
ble that given by the French government.
We want 130 generous-hearted Ameri
cans each to adopt for life one blinded
and mutilated soldier who can do little
or no work and has a family to support;
$3,500 put aside by each donor will pro-
vide the pension of 000 francs per year
necessary.
We want 100 generous-hearted Americans
to send us $600 each to purchase cot
tages for 200 blinded and mutilated men,
who are included in Nos. 1 and 2.
We want 2,500 generous hearted Ameri-
cans each to contribute $200 for the pur-
pose of sending 2,500 blinded re-educated
men to their own homes and give them
nn opportunity to make a new start In
life and earn their own living.
We want $500,000 for our permanent fund
to provide for our after-care project ami
to enable us to maintain additional pen-
sioners.
We want $2,000,000 towards our general
fund to carry on the work of re education,
to run our workshops, to keep up our
markets for raw materials and our ex-
changes, to maintain our industrial school
and our superior school, and to enlarge
and improve our schools for future re-
quirements.
Any Americans blinded In the war will,
of course, benefit to the fullest extent and
be reeducated to fit them for any wain
In life to which they are adaptable by
inclination, knowledge or previous occu-
pation.
Having made known specifically Jnst
what our needs are, it is proper to tell
just what the A. B. F. 15. has (lone.
