LECTURES HERE THIS WEEK
Captain Furlong to Talk on Sooth
America—Discovered Historic
Wreck.
Everything is in readiness in San An-
tonio for the second draft which will
Induct men in Class A1 into the National
Army. New draft regulations have been
received by local boards ami are being
I stud tod by examining physicians. New
J certificates have been received to be used
in calling men to the colors. The new
certificated are unlike the pink cards used
in the first draft. The old cards com-
manded the men to appear for the examina-
tion. The new certificates inform the
ineu that they have been honored by be-
ing chosen for members in the National
Army. The certificate Is one that can be
framed and one which any registrant would
be proud to keep. In addition they come
from the President.
Under the new rules for physical ex-
aminations few men will be exempt. Many
of flip requirements In the. first draft have
been waived. Men with one limb partly
impaired, with slight curvature of the
spine, with certain diseases <>f the lungs
or even appendicitis will not he rejected.
Men who have flat feet will be accepted
hereafter if they are able to march and car-
ry weight. The requirement for eyesight
formerly was'20-70 vision. Now men with
20-100 vision will be accepted, provided
nothing else is wrong.
Some of the formerly disqualifying con-
ditions men may have now and he accepted
are as follows: Certain social diseases in
certain stages, depressed skulls, slight ab-
normalities of skull bones, slight spine
curvatures, slight adhesion of lids to eye-
halls, slight everslon of lids, color blind-
ness, all but complete obstruction of nasal
breathing, nasal polypi, enlarged tonsils,
adenoids, moderate enlargement of the thy
roid. lung diseases unless registrant is con-
fined to his bed, and appendicitis.
Men with only one good arm or one
good leg will be referred to the advisory
medical board as will all other doubtful
cases. Men confined to their beds with
ailments which they claim arc incapacitat-
ing or incurable will be closely investi-
gated. The orders from Provost. Marshal
General Crowder caution all examining
boards to be on the lookout for malinger-
ers or men who claim to have diseases
or deformities when they have none.
All examinations must be given In a
large. well lighted room. Some of the
things physicians are to take close note
of are mental characteristics, speech and
the condition of the skin.
With the certificates of induction into
the army are sent instructions on a sep-
arate circular. The instructions state that
failure to report on the day and hour
specified is a grave military offense for
which the registrant may he court-mar-
tialed. Willful failure to report for tha
purpose of evading military service is a
capital offense.
The registrant is instructed to bring
with him. when he reports to his local
board, nothing but hand baggage. No
registrant will be permitted to take trunks
or boxes. Each registrant must bring a
pair of large, comfortable shoes to relieve
his feet after wearing army marching
shoes. Not more than four suits of under-
clothing must be brought. Six extra pairs
of stocks, four face towels, two bath tow-
els, a comb, brush, a tooth brush, soap,
tooth powder, razor and shaving soap
are the limit of baggage. Less may he
brought. The registrant should wear
strong, rough clothing anil a flannel shirt,
preferably the kind soldiers wear.

Salvation Army Organization Makes Appeal
to Public-Spirited Citizens.
The Salvation Army Rescue Home is
asking San Antonio people for a light
motor truck in which to do their necessary
hauling.
Such a gift, according to the matron.
Staff Captain C. L. McCabee, "will be ap-
preciated by the Army and by all those
whom it will benefit. The Rescue Home
is entirely dependent, upon voluntary con-
tributions and is furnishing a shelter to a
large number of unfortunate women, some
of whom are only 13 or H years old. Last
year the organization look care of ninety-
one women and thirty two babies.
"We need the truck primarily because
our little pony we have had for six or
seven years is giving out. Feed is also
almost too high for us to be able to af-
ford, particularly if we do not use him
often With a light motor truck we would
only be under the expense for. gitsoliue the
lime t#h truck was being used."

C apt Charles Wellington Furlong, Qnar.
termaster's Reserve Corps, will this week
give two illustrated lectures on Souih
America. On Wednesday his subject wiil
l»e Argentine: on Thursday, Brazil. Moth
lectures will be given at the Main Avenue
High School at S:i5 p. m . under the
auspices of the Carnegie Library. They
will be the last in this year's course, Dr.
Ax soil having cancelled his Shakespeare
group.
"These lectures of Mr. Furlong will be
vitally Interesting, in respect both of the
subject and the lecturer." says one of tli°
management responsible for bringing him
"South America, as all the world knows,
has attracted Increasing attention of late
years, both as a continent interesting in
Itself.and as a market.
"It is, only within comparatively recent
times that people In general have begun to
recognize how closely akin are the interests
of the two Americas. The first Pan Amer-
ican Congress, to be sure. was held in
l*2tf; the I nited States sent delegates,
who arrived, by the way too late to take
part in the deliberations: yet the contin-
uous history of the Pan American Union
dates only from The Pan American Con
gross of 1880-00. Since the latter date pop-
ular interest has backed up the union, and
the union in turn has stimulated and In-
creased popular interest.''
The lecturer is a man eminentlv fitted
to speak on this subject, both bv training
and «by experience, as artist, writer, ox
plorer. ,
Born in Cambridge. Mass.. in 1874 \jr.
Furlong was educated at De Vonux Mill
tary College. Cornell, Harvard. Massachu-
setts Normal Art Schoof, Ecole des Beaux

eau and Laurens. He has been an art teach-
er. explorer of North Africa who discov-

years before and of South America, both
of which continents he has depicted with

Hereafter any one who gives a cuecL
or draft without having sutficient funds
to meet the chock or draft in the bui.k
can be subjected to either a fine, a
jail or penitentiary sentence, in case it
can 1)0 proven that he gave the check witn
intent to defraud and knew that ho did
not have funds to meet it.
This law, called the "swindle act, ' has
just been upheld by the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals or the State's court
of last resort for such cases. The iaw
was passed in 1013 by the Thirtj -third
Legislature of Texas, and v\ as included
as a part of the "Bogus Check Law.'
While local convictions have been wou
on Its legality, it was not till a short
time ago that a case was apealed to tLu
highest court as a test. This case was
that of "Krtieger vs. State." and lias been
officially recorded on page <520 of the
Southwestern Reporter.
The law is of interest to practically all
business men throughout the city and
State who suffer continually at the hands
of defrauders.
Adolf Grasso, secretary of the Retail
Merchants' Association of San Antonio, has
been notified to inform nil retail secre
taries throughout Texas, grocers being
large victims of such swindlers.
If the check passed is for less than
$•">0, it is a misdemeanor carrying a money
fine or jail term: if it is for more ibau
$.*>0, It Is a felony punishable by a peni-
tentiary sentence.
The law also covers the drawing of
checks upon other persons, firms or cot
porations aud carries full punishment ac-
cording to the following specifications:
"The obtaining by any person of any
money or other thin- of value with intent
to defraud by the giving or drawing or
any check, draft or order upon any bank,
person, firm or corporation, with which
or whom such person giving or drawing
said .heck, draft or 'Tiler has not at
the time of the giving or drawing of
such cheek, draft or order or at the time
when In the ordinary course of business
such check, dratt. or order would tn,
presented to the drawee for payment, suf-
ficient funds to pav same and no good
reason to believe that such check, draft
or order will be paid.
"The special enumeration of cases of
swindling above set forth shall noi be
understood to exclude any case which
by fair construction of the language comes
within the meaning of the preceding «>■
tlele."
The upholding of the law by the high-
est court will come, it is said, as a sur-
prise to a number of lawyers and other*
who did not feel assured that the act
would hold good if appealed.
WOULD BENEFIT BY
WARY ROADS
SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS HAS
BEEN PLAN-NED FOR
THE STATE.
I
(By George A. Duron. State Highway
I >epartment.)
The great need of military roads has
suddenly made Itself manifest to the War
Department as well as to the general pub
lie. It is now a matter of common knowl-
edge that the excellent highways of Franci
made it possible with the use of uioto-
trucks to change the results of the war
from a sure defeat of the allies to a final
victory.
Pershing's expedition into Mexico
brought clearly to our attention the im-
portant role that, motor transportation
would hereafter fill ill modern warfare.
Great troop movements have already taken
place in Texas over our highways, and
it is telling uo military secrets in calling
your attention to the fact, that the ftth
Regiment of Cavalry was moved over them
from Marfa to San Antonio, a distance of
450 miles, and that at. the same time n full
regiment, being the Kth Cavalry, was
moved over the highways from Fort Bliss
at ESI Paso to Marfa, and that a regiment
of engineers went overland from San An-
tonio to Corpus Christi, and that an im-
mense army wagon train traveled overland
from Fort. Sam Houston «t San Antonio
to Fort. Bliss at El Paso, and that at this
time a trip Is being made by motor ord
nance repair trucks on a tour of the Texas
border forts. There is now a constant
stream with traffic of troops and equip-*
ment and military traffic over our State
highways. Oil account of the enormous
resources of Texas and on account of its
salubrious climate, enormous numbers of
soldiers are being trained within the bor-
ders of the State. Large bodies of inoit
and a tremendous amount of armv equip-
ment with vast expenditures of money are
now found on every hand within this State.
All of the most important points of con-
centration of troops in the State, with a
few minor exceptions .are situated in the
heart of the industrial and agricultural
nortions of Texas, along with the greatest
concentration of the population of Texas.
A system of military highways has been
planned for the purpose of conserving the
resources of Texas* and for the purpose
of concentrating our efforts in order to
accomplish the construction and mainte-
nance of the most vital arteries of motor
vehicle transportation of the State. In
my opinion, these highways are of vital
importance to the milltar yand also to the
Industrial welfare of the State of Texas,
and to the Nation.
The entire system of highways consti
tutes one of important military highway*
but In order to accomplish the desired r"
suits we must begin with the most ini
portant and concentrate our efforts on
same for the fulfillment of our purpose.

candle moulds are now the property of
Mrs. K Goldstein of San Antonio, a da'ugb

these as relics of « priceless value. His
lather and* mother also brought to Texas
the first Fnglish Bible. His mother, Mary
Bailey Policy, was a most remarkable
woman and she, too, contributed much to
the early civilization of Texas.
Mr. Polley was educated in a college nt
Florence. Alabama, and ho was a grad-
uate of that institution.
Ho was a young man nearing his major

throughout tJie war and was a private in
Hood's Fourth Texas Brigade, an organiza
tion that won fame far and near during
that long and bloody struggle. Mr. Policy
lost his foot at the battle of Gaines* Mil!
lie was one of the best informed men who
survived that conflict and contributed
much valuable information to historians
who afterwards told the story in print.
Mr. Policy, while always a.(dressed in

that he was a high private.
Having settled in the Ciholo In Wilson
County In 18.10 and residing there prior to
the .-all to arms, be came back to this
county at the close of the war.
In December, 1^6, he was married at
Seguin to Miss Martha IjeGetto, who has
been his life companion for fifty one yea's
and who survives him.
General Polley and wife moved to Flores-
ville in 1*7tf and he engager} in the prac
tieo of law For many years he was on
of the leading members of the bar in this
section. Hcvserved two terms In the Texas
Legislature from that district. 1S81 82.
For a number of years General Policy
was very active in those organizations
which have kept kindled the fires of of the
beloved Confederacy. He was the first
Adjutant <rcneral of the Confederate Vet
erans* Association in Texas, and devoted
his time and energy toward making It a

the m ist successful they ever held and
«ne of the most enjoyable occasions in

He was not a member of any church, but
had a great respect for all churches aud
contributed freely to the various religious
f .'ganizations.
His body was buried in Floresville Sun-

"This week is "father and son" week in
San Antonio.
The event is a National one. and Mayor
Sam C. Bell has sot aside the days of
February 11 to lj for the celebration of
the event.
Ho has asked the Young Men's Christian
Association to act as a loader in the
promotion of activities here, which will in-
clude a mass meeting at one of the up-
town churches not yet dccldetf upon, next
Sunday afternoon, und a banquet at. the
Young Men's Christian Association build-
ing next. Friday night
It. Is declared that the fine ties of love
and comradeship that, exist or should ox
1st between father and son. should dt
least once a year be emphasized particu-
larly since they are of such priceless value
in the life of a boy. The observance fos
tors the saeredness of this relationship,
and forces to mind the responsibilities of
both.
Mayor Sam C. Bell has asked part leu
larly: "Let every civic organization, moral
and religious Institution, endeavor to em-
phasize this important relationship be-
tween son and father, and to tins end I
urge ministers of the city to preach ser-
mons on Sunday. February 17. concerning
it. Also I urge that father and son gstn
orlng* be arranged whenever possible
during the week. The family relation is
the foundation upon which a wholesome
society must naturally rest. In our in-
dustrial and commercial organizations our j
hours of labor and daily wage almost over-
shadow the primary relations of life,
and in our complex affairs there Is r. i
tendency for families to bo scattered. If '
is also necessary for our religious ami '
social interests that fathers and sons have |
a closer relationship one to another. This
event will emphasize strongly, too. that j
the logical 'big brother' for any boy is that j
boy's own father.
Tn order to secure a place at the Young
Men's Christian Association banquet it is
necessary that seats be reserved. No |
father will be permitted to bo present un-
less accompanied by one or more sons.
Governor Hobby of Texas has Issued n
proclamation asking the State to cele
brate the week. He has suggested that
Sunday schools and all organisations min
istering to the purity of hody life ho'd
meetings concerning the family relation
ship and recommending a simple dinner
\shere each boy should bo'urged to bring
his father and a program of brief ad
dresses in which both fathers and sons
participate be given
The too picked Scouts of the city began
their work of securing funds to carry on
the work of the Alamo Council for this
year. Just before noon on Saturday. The
first day's report is very encouraging and
the fallowing are put on the honor roll as
the first "supporting members" to be se-
