CLUBS BEGIN TASK
OF RAISING $60009
FOR SALVATION ARMY
San Antonio Asked lor
Small Sam and Promised
Big One.
Tbe Salvation Army went on the
street* of San Antonio Monday morning
Mi help to carry on its work members
of the Elk-. Rotary. Kiwanis and L on*'
(!ub carrying the appeal to the purses
of the city for the $60000 asked. How
generously San Antonio responded will
K* known Tuesday at nnon. when the
first report is made by the workers at a
luncheon to be given in the St. Anthony
hotel.
Monday to Saturday hr.* been termed
“Reecue Week” by the Salvation Anny*
Car the funds collected will go towards
hs rescue work. The appeal is nation-
wide. The southwest district of Texas
has been asked for $86000. and in
vmalhr towns the American Leginn has
volunteered its services in gratitude for
the work of the Salvation Army among
the soldier* during the war according
to announc m "ts made by the campaign
committee here.
Personal gratitude of the men still in
the army was evinced by a soldier who
still bears visible token of his part in
the war when he walked into headquar-
ters the other day. before the drive for-
mally opened to give $lO out of the pen-
sion granted him by the government.
••There is no tendency on the part of
the Salvation Army to stand on its war
record though” said a campaigner. “The
institution- for which we arc asking this
money are doing home service. San An
tenio doec not have to t»e told of the Srl-
ration Anny work. The Red Shield
Hostel on Commerce Street the Rescue
Home on River avenue and other activi-
ties speak fop themselves.”
The Salvation Army is asking fop only
s6o*ooo in San Antonio but plana to
spend $175000 here if the campaign is
suorpssful in the Southwestern division.
If citucna of Texas Oklahoma and
Jxmisiana give as Salvation Army
workers hone this sum will be expend-
ed in building a new rescue home mov-
ing the present wooden structure to the
back of the three-acre lot and erecting
a brick building for th* home which
shelters girls from the entire division.
The sym requested embraces provision
for all/state rescue work the relief
work corps in Austin and San Antonio
the hotels for m^n and boarding homes
for girls industrial homes for boys and
girls and all other work undertaken by
the Red Shield Army.
“The Salvation Army service is limit-
ed only by its personnel and the finan-
cial aid given its enterprises for the un-
fortunates.” said J. H. Savage chair-
man of th*' state advisory board for
Southwest Texas which work- as a lay
auxiliary to the Salvation Army.

“This is a rather difficult problem to .
handle.” said CommL-aioner Wright I
! Monday. ‘The Mate law require* that
railway locomotives whistle upon the ap-
proach to street crossings. It is of vi-
tal importance in a damage in t W
I seem* that the wbistl ug in many in-
stances is overdone. 1 believe we will
। succeed in eliminating the shrill
whistling at the crossings. A dull blast
I think would be sufficient. 1 uin
sure the meeting will result in discon*
tinuance of unnecessary whistling.
Personally. I believe that tbe enact-
ment of an ordinance making it com-
pulsory for every person driving cither
a horee-drawu or motor vehicle tn stop
before pai-sing over a railroad crossing
would make it poss'ble for railroad en-
gineers to at least put the soft pedal
on blowing of whistles.”
