THURSDAY,
ANOTHER DAY
IS ADDED TO
AGE EXEMPTION
Ages of Voters Who Register
Friday (Tomorrow) Will Not
Be Published In the Light.
NONE CAN TELL WHO DID
Names In Future Will Be Mixed
Up So That No Apprehension
Whatever Need Be Felt.
So many men who visited the tax
office yesterday and today showed
some apprehension about the publi
cation of age that the bar has been
[lifted for another day—Friday—this
being tomorrow. If you get a poll tax
receipt or certificate of exemption to
day or tomorrow your age will not be
published.
From the beginning of the registra
tion the Light has been printing the
age of applicants for voting papers;
this for the best of reasons. It was
the only possible means of identify
ing the voter, inasmuch as frequently
the precise street number does not
appear upon the receipt or the cetrifl
cate. Often only the name of the
street is used. Sometimes the housu
or jacal where the voter lives has no
number upon it, the city officials hav
ing been as lax in numbering houses
as In all other respects, doing the
work strictly on the manana plan.
Therefore it follows that in some pre
cincts dozens of voters of the sftme
name register from the same street,
giving no house number. To place
the particular voter about the only
clue is the age given.
The rule is being waived now prin
cipally for the benefit of the corpora
tion emoloye, who is afraid the age
limit may be applied in his case if,
his real age is printed in the news-I
paper. This is a campaign when
every voter in San Antonio should be
qualified and the men of age and ex.
I that they have plenty of money which,
■ however, they are holding to see what
I is to be done at Washington.

DIAGNOSE DREAMS.
DR. JOHN D. QUACRENBOB.
This noted physician who practices
mental or hypnotic suggestion, and
is the author of "Hypnotic Therapeu
tics," scouts the idea that analysis of
dreams will serve as a basis for diag
nosis in nervous diseases.. Diagnosis
of a Welsh rarebit dream is futile he
declares. "We can dream more in a
minute than we can act in a year,”
he says. Dream diagnosis or "psycho
nalysls,” is to be experimented with
in a new department at Johns Hop
kins hospital.
perience are the ones most needed,
for as a rule they vote right.
Three days have been left open fot
these men, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of this week. If you want an
automobile ride to the tax office, this
free of charge, ring 10,000, either
phone, and you will be under no ob
ligation whatever for the service. Pol
itics will not once be referred to on
the ride.
Remember that the age will not be
printed, and that more than this, the
names will necessarily be mixed as to
date in publishing them later, owing
to the rush at the tax office. So no
one can tell by scrutinizing the list
that any particular man took advan
tage of this -exemption.

FOH6EIS THE ALAMO
Mme Labadie Surprised In the
Wonderful Changes In San
Antonio Since First CVisit,
‘The new San Antonio is wonder
ful said Mme. Harriet Labadie yes
terday at the St. Anthony hotel. ”1
had not been here in a number of
years, and when I went out this morn
ing for a little walk I can’t tell you
how I felt. I didn’t know where 1
was. The change has been wonderful
and so much for the better. To ex
plain better what I mean, one of the
young ladles who is traveling with us
asked me how she could see San An
tonio in a little time. I told her that
was easy. I took the Menger for the
starting place, for we had stopped
there before, and then explained ah
about the Alamo. This morning I
didn’t know where the Menger was
nor the Alamo either.
"Of course, of all places in Texas
San Antonio is the place. Fort Worth
and Dallas were splendid in their
treatment of me, but after all San
Antonio is the vital point in all Texas,
because of its rare history and the
old world flavor which it still retains.
"I had never been In a country in
the making until I went to Alaska
and there I enjoyed every minute of
the time. Think of the 2093 miles
trip down the Yukon to Nome. 1
hadn’t been back in the States three
months until I began to long for the
awful greatness of the country ana
the wonderful air.”
Mme. Labadie, who is to read
Thursday and Friday night in the as
sembly room of the Y. W. C. A., has
been before the public for the past
twenty years and has made an envi
able reputation as a public speaker.
Her career began when she was nine I
years old, at the instance of her fath
er. who was imbued with the idea I
that she had marked talent and ;
placed her in charge of a private I
tutor. She was afterwards sent to
school, where expression was the fea
ture of the work.
Completing her course. Mme. Laba
die taught a number of years and is
now the head of a school In Phila- I
delphia which bears her name, but j
during the past twenty years the de
mand for her reading has been so in-
I sistent that she has never had an en
) gagement west of Pittsburg. Het
method of reading is one that at the
present time is all her own. At the
opening of the scene she gives her
audience a general idea of the seance,
and by mental suggestion makes them
see the characters which she lives
and whose parts she speaks.
Thursday evening she will read the
play of “Gossip,” by Jose Echegaray,
and Friday evening she will give
"Hedda Gabbler" by Ibsen.

Direct Street Car Service
FOR
Highl&ndP&rk
Regular 15-Minute Schedule between the
Park and Houston and Navarro Streets
The San Antonio Traction Co. will begin operating through cars from the cor
ner of Houston and Navarro Streets to Highland Park within the next few
days.
A regular 15-minute schedule will be inaugurated and be effective from 5:30
o'clock every morning untill 12:30 every night.
This new through service brings Highland Park 15 minutes closer to the busi
ness center.
Not a minute closer than it ought to be.
But 15 minutes closer than it has been under the car service we have had
heretofore.
For Highland Park to date has developed faster than any other property in San
Antonio, notwithstanding this 15-minute handicap.
Everyone going to Highland Park during the past year has had to lose at least
15 minutes in unnecessary travel and in waiting at the transfer point.
Has looked at the property as being at least 15 minutes farther from the center
of town than it really is.
In spite of this handicap Highland Park has grown as no other district in San
Antonio ever grew before.
Over 900 lots sold in a little over a year.
Over 400 of these lots sold during the past three months.
Forty homes either completed or now under construction.
That’s the story of development with a 30-minute schedule and a stub branch
line.
Now, what will be the development when the people of San Antonio realize
what quick transportation will do for this beautiful property.
Go up to Highland Park and answer this question for yourself.
See the development that has come in spite of the handicap.
And you Will realize what the next 60 days means to Highland Park.
With the handicap removed.
With Highland Park at last put upon a basis where it can grow as it should grow.
Where a district has made the growth this one has under a handicap, what will
it do now?
We can’t tell you, but we believe that the story of what has been done pretty
nearly forecast what is about to be.
We believe that more people will visit Highland Park in search of Homesites
than ever visited it before.
That we are getting within a few weeks of the end of our selling campaign in
the new section of the Park,
We believe that within 30 days there will not be a lot in this new section that
will belong to this company.
When you go up to Highland Park we want you to stay long enough to realize
more than this.
We want you to learn that Highland Park lots are selling at lower prices than
any other good residence lots in this city.
Don't just look at the total prices, but size up the improvements that go to make
up the greater part of that price.
The improvements that you expect to have some day around your home, no
matter where you buy.
The improvements that you will sooner or later have to count as a part of the
cost of your lot.
These improvements are ready for you in the beautiful new section of Highland
Park.
And they are paid for.
Get down to the bare lot, and remember that all our lots are 50x150 feet, some
larger, none smaller, and make the comparison.
And you wil learn that you can buy lots in Highland Park for less money than you are re
quired to pay for far-away staked lots and a bunch of promises.
Isn’t that an unnatural condition?
Aren’t Highland Park lots worth at least 200 or 300 per cent more?
How long do you think such a condition will continue now that we have direct car service
without transfer and a fifteen-minute schedule?
The answer is easy —lots in Highland Park will more than double in value within the next
six months.
