SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1918.
WASHINGTON AGREES TO ECHO-
ING OPERATIONS TO RELIEVE
CONGESTION HERE.
A general housing permit providing ,"r
tl e building of small houses aud opurtment
houses to meet actual needs will t»e
granted the Chamber of Commerce, accord-
ing to a telegram received Friday from the
I'nlted States Houslug Committee in Wash-
ington, on the condition that net profits on
lots and on buildings, both those for sale
and those for rent, will not exceed from
10 to TJ'/j per cent.
The message was in reply to a request
from the Chamber of Commerce f<-r ;i
special permit of this kind in San Ant<>i,i.»
in view of the fact that every application
sent in to VVashiugtou through the Council
«it Defense for the building of new houses,
has been flatly rejected. The permit was
obtained on the groundg that the building
of houses was an absolute necessity in
San Autonlo to meet ttie demands created
by the influx of population.
As a large amount of building material
is already on hand in the city, and there
is plenty of labor, especially men too old
to serve in the army, and not so situated
sm to be able to go East to work In the
munition factories, and who have come
here from the drought stricken regions in
search of worx, an exception was made
in the case of San Antonio.
Plans for the working out of this propo-
sition were discussed at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce Friday afternoon. It was de-
cided to appoint the building committee of
the County Council of Defense as a com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce to
handle the situation.
Among other matters discussed by the
Chamber of Commerce at this meeting was
that of encouraging moving picture
directors to come to San Antonio this
winter. Many of them are leaving New
York because of the scarcity of fuel, and
it is deemed a propitious time to Interest
them in the wonderful opportunities San
Antouio offers as a moving picture center.
Plans were discussed for the entertain-
ment of Prime Axel of the Danish Navy
who will be in San Antonio on October
•TO and 31. Details will be arranged at a
conference Monday morning between Mayor
Hell, General D. C. Cabell, commander of
the Southern Department, General George
If. Estls. commander of Camp Travis, and
the bonrd of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
At the Majestic.
I'he qualities that make for an all-jjoiind
successful vaudeville program ure hard to
define, but this week's bill ut the Majestic
meets every requirement.
Leona La Mar, "The tiirl With the Thou-
sand Eyes," H unquestionably the mystic-
marvel of the age. She not only tells
you your name, age, date aud place of
birth, your business or profession, past
experiences and future prospects, but she
does it with a speed and accuracy that is
positively uncanny. It is doubtful if any
other woman performing, or attempting
to perform these mental miracles, has at-
tracted so much attention among students
of the occult, or who has been the subject
of so much heated controversy in the sci-
entific world. On Wednesday afternoon.
Miss La Mar gave a matinee for ladies
only, at which time she answered such
questions as women do not like to ask
before a mixed audience.
In the musical romance, "Wlshland,"
«1. K. Kmmett and Mary E. Ityan have
a vehicle singulurly well-suited to their
vocal and artistic abilities. The story
is a bit of oriental Imagery told In verse,
and the setting which Mr. Kmmett and
Miss Ryan have provided is one of the
most gorgeous and most costly in vaude-
ville.
Charles Wilson, who bills himself as a
nut comedian, does not scruple to describe
himself for exactly what be is. He has
n trained oyster which he exhibits along
with himself, and there Is about as much
sense to that as there is to anything else
that goes into his act.
other acts on this week's bill are the
Gypsy Troubadours in a song and dance
revel, Hobson and Hentty, "Two Oirls and
a Piano'; Jennings and Mack In "The
Camouflage Taxi"; and the I>e Bourg Sis-
ters, foolish French trixters, featuring
"The Girl ln tUe Box."
MOVIE ATTRACTIONS.
Double Dill at Empire.
Among favorite screen stars in this roun-
tfy. few have a greater or more enthus
lastic following than Dorothy Dal ton
whose recent pictures, "Tyrant Fear." "The
Mating of Marcella" and "The Kaiser's
Shadow," were seen here with such sue
cess. Miss Dalton has an entirely new
characterization ln her latest Paramount
offering, "Green Eyes," written by Ella
Stewart Carson, and produced under the
supervision of Thomas H. I nee, which will
be presented at the Empire Theater for
the last time today and tonight.
In this unusually captivating photoplay,
Miss Dalton appears as the beautiful wife
of an aristocratic Southerner, who is
several years older than herself, and who
is obsessed by the fear that she may lose
her heart to a younger man, nnd he be
derived of her love. This man Is so per
slstent in his Jealousy that, she packs it])
and returns to her home, determined never
to see him again.
But it develops that the separation
brings her to a realisation of her love for
her husband and she returns to his home,
lie receives her with open arms and both*
agree that jealousy will no longer have
any part In their lives.
How this young woman convinces her
husband of her love, in a scene of Inten-<o
dramatic power, is shown In the develop-
ment. of the story, which, it is said, will
be found to be one of the best in which
Miss Dalton thus far has figured.
There is a double bill at the Empire to
day and tonight. The added attraction in u
Mack Sennett comedy. "Sleuths:" starring
Beri Turpin and Charles Lynn, and It Is

that It will be made to all of tJue people o?
the l ulled State*, Instead of to those lu
the territory eaat of the Mississippi Kiver,
and will curtail pleasure motoring; every
day lu the week instead of Sunday, the
only motoring day for the middle class
motorists.
By this new patriotic appeal, the public
will be asked to curtail uou-esseutial mo-
toring from 10 to 20 per cent at all times,
every day In the week, and no special stric-
ture will be placed ou Suuday motoring.
Dr. Garl'ield said tonight that the quick
conservation effected by motorlcss Sun-
days may have reached such a stage that
substitution for that, method of saving
might be made after Sunday, October l.'l.
The new appeal will be of variable sort—
when the need is for only a 10 per cent re-
duction of non-essential motoring, the Fuel
Administration will tell the public what
the need is und ask its co-operation ac-
cordingly, varying the call for curtailment
as the need varies.

help she obtained from the use or
Cardui 12 years ago, when it built up
her health and strength, says further:
"The next time I used it (Cardui) was
about 4 or 5 years ago. I had...and
was just able to drag around for a
good while, getting worse all the time.
I suffered intense pain in the lower ab-
domen and back...Could hardly do
my work, it was all a drag.. .and walk*
ing was very painful for me. I finally
had to give up and go to bed, where I
stayed about a week.. .and then turned
back to Cardui, my old friend.
"After starting the Cardui, I was
able to be up in 2 or 3 days...The
pains were relieved soon after begin-
ning to take the Cardui, and when I
got up, walking was easy for me.. .Col
back my health and strength.. .and in
3 weeks was able to do moat or my
work...
"It's a fine medicine, and haa been •
good friend to me, and I am a friend to
it too. It's through taking Cardui I
have been well and strong and in good
health for the past 4 or 5 years...1
will always praise it."
Cardui should do for you, what it
has done for thousands of other won>
en. It should help you. Tr^ Cardui
