hended by Detective Miller on Travis
street clad in a natty suit of male
attire.
Detective Miller was standing on
Houston and Navarro streets when
he saw the girl. She was accom-
panied by a young man who after-
wards proved to be a relative. The
striking appearance of the young
fellow” and "his” style of walking
the detective says are what attract-
ed his attention. He followed the
couple along Navarro street to Trav-
is and then confronted them.
Both were escorted to police head-
quarters where it was learned they
recently had come here from Cen-
tral 111. intending to spend the win-
ter here with relatives and obtain
employment. The girl had failed
she said and decided to try as a
boy. Clad in the male attire she
had requested employment at sev-
eral places. When taken into cus-
tody she was making inquiries for
a job as a taxicab chauffeur.
San Antonio relatives of the two
were communicated with by the po-
lice- The young people were turned
over to them after being given to
understand such pranks would not
be overlooked in the future.

School Children
Should have their eyes exam-
ined. Inability to follow the
course of school work is often
the cause of a child’s lack of
progress in its studies. A pair of
our correctly fitted glasses may
transform an apparently stupid
scholar into an exceptionally
bright one.
The examination of children’s
eyes has been a specialty with
us for over a third of a century.

The initial meeting of the philan-
thropic <:t partment of the Woman's
Club. which was held Wednesday aft-
ernoon was a "social service day
; ffnir the program being In charge
■»1 Mrs. H. P. Drought. Every club
in the state has been asked to set
aside a sicial service day in October
or before the Federation meeting in
November. The program of Wednes-
I day's meeting was preceded by re-
* ports of the c.iok book committee
and nf Mrs. Rena Maverick Green
who reported on the public school
penny lunch proposition.
Mrs. F. W. McAllister was the
principal speaker her talk being a
report on the work that is being done
in this state for the delinquent boy.
in her work along this Une Mrs. Mc-
MHster has sought to find the causes
for dellquency before finding the
remedies. In her investigations she
has had the assistance of stiperin-
: p ndents of various eleemosynary in-
stitutions. who have furnished her
with statistics.
Her report was largely nn? of the
work being done for the boys of the
state at the Gatesville training
school. It was found that most boys
are sent there for offenses which are
either directly or Indirectly caused
by the delinquency or inefficiency of
parents.
Mrs. McAllister read the following
report of the superintendent of the
Gatesville State Juvenile Training
school:
"The Gatesville boy is the most
misunderstood misrepresented and
mistreated individual in Texas. The
criminologist analyzes and classifies
him. The philosopher theorizes and
speculates on him; the sentimentalist
weeps and molly-coddles him; the
politician rants and raves over him;
’he policeman chases him; his father
beats him; his mother scolds him;
his family knocks him. The world
hates hhn and he doesn’t give a
'darn.' He is an animated chunk up-
on the junk heap of humanity a
veritable Ishmael a wild man whose
hand is against every man and every
man’s hand is against him."
Mrs. McAllister’s talk was followed
by a short talk by Mrs. W B. Baugh
In regard to the establishment of the
state training school for girls. Mrs.
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
Baugh has been appointed by the
frtate chairman as supervisor of the
work of raising funds in this district.
The week of November 8 will be de-
voted to this cause $15000 being
the desired amount.
Mrs. Baugh extended an Invitation
।to the members .tf the club to meet
iwith her at 10:30 o’clock Friday
'morning. As the establishment of
this Institution is of great interest to
the members of the club it is
thought Mrs. Baugh will have the
complete cooperation of the club in
her work.
Mrs. J. L. Browne chairman of
the department of literature had a
word to say in regard to the first
meeting ci her department at which
there will be a prominent speaker.
She urged the members to attend
and not to allow the speaker whose
services would be gratis to be greet-
ed by rows of empty chairs. She also
asked for the donation of maga-
zines not more than two years out
of date to be distributed among the
charitable Institutions.

"Tlx* Red Widow" Tonight.
The Channing Pollock-Rennold
Wolf-Charles Gebest musical play
। "The Red Widow” will open Its en-
gagement at the Grand tonight with
<< matinee Friday at 2:30 and a per-
formance Friday night. This piece
the best of its interesting authors’
offerings comes heralded as the ex-
traordinary Astor theater. New York
success where for over six long
months its clever satire its pungent
wit and Hs clean thrusts at up-to-
date newl”-rich society caused inces-
sant laughter. Its musical numbers
held its audience enthralled. The en-
tire original production and brilliant
costume effects will aid in embellish-
ing this offering.
"Hanky Panky” Next Attraction.
Miss Virginia Evans prima donna
of "Hanky Panky” the famous musl-
j < al comedy which will appear at the
i Grand Saturday matinee and night
land Sunday night is one of Broad-
way’s brightest stars having enjoyed
la meteoric flight upward to her e»
sited position in the theatrical firma-
ment. Miss Evans a stunningly beau-
(iful girl possessed of every qualifi-
cation for making her a success was
born of wealthy parents in Texas and
received an unusually good educa-
tion. About five years ago her father
lost his fortune and she had to work.
Purely by accident she drifted to a
stage waa a chorus girl for three
performances became alternate
prima tonna of "Hanky Panky”
then prima donna replacing Chris-
tine Nielson toward the close of the
tour and then stepped quickly into
fame on Broadway through her re-
markable W’ork in "The Pleasure
Seekers” at the Garden the
world’s greatest playh.ouse.
"Their Getaway” Ik Thrilling.
"Raffles” the famous crook was
no doubt the pattern which Willard
Mack had in mind when he wrote
'Their Getaway;” a playlet that com-
bines the tense interest-holding
sometimes dramatic elements that
trade Sir Conan Doyle’s "Sherlock
Holmes” series famous the w*orld
over. "Their Getaway” is a master-
piece condensing into a limited field
action that could be well stretched
into three full acts ana merit big
production. However he wrote the
playlet for Charles Bachmann and
as the latter prefers vaudeville. Ma-
jestic patrons this week are having
an opportunity to see this great actor
in a great sketch. Beatrice Morrell
brings to the Majestic this week a
real headline act "The Parisian Har-
monists” who present "A Study in
Royal Blue” being quite the most
elegant and magnificently staged
s.nging act that has ever been seen
here. The Great Lester unquestion-
ed ventriloquist champion of the
'.corld is more entertaining than ever
with his "almost human” dummy;
Savoy and Brennan in a burlesque
ottering entitled "The Show Girl and
a Johnnie” are a laughing hit at
even show; Sammy Watson’s Farm-
-7 ard Circus a great treat for all who
see the quaint queer and unusual
performers; the Wiseman Sistersare
i treat and the Ambler Brothers
rave originated something in the way
of aerial aerobatic and equllibrlstlc
work that is little short of marvelous.
"Ttie Better Man” at Royal.

|by Rev. Townsend Brady featuring
William (’(•urtlelgh a Broadway (N.
Y.) favorite is the headliner at the

Better Man” tells the story of two
clergymen who aspire for the hand
of the same girl and who are also

diocese. The story is told in a very
dramatic manner with splendid
scenic effect and is pronounced bj*
both press and public as one of the
best sermons ever preached either In
the pulp't or on the stage. In the
making "The Better Man" into u
motion picture drama it loses none
(1 its gripping situations. The motion

tion of Mr. Frohman which Is a

Caution the Children Against This
The relief of /dismissal from school often displays itself by a
complete forgetfulness of the dangers that lie in playing in the
streets.
DON’T LET THE CHILDREN PLAY IN THE STREETS
WHEN THEY COME EROM SCHOOL. WARN THEM TO
KEEP OFF THE CAR TRACKS.
In some cities the law will not permit children to carry a toy
from school just to prevent such accidents. Our motormen take
every precaution. Don’t let your child be hurt through ignorance.
TELL HIM ABOUT THIS DANGER.
