I a I i 1 Hepoie, ai a Fine Art, Found in Spanish Town If proof be needed that Spain, geographically as well as historically, Is a sort of bridge between Europe and Africa, the ancient Saracen town of Klche, near Alicante, supplies It. It Is an odd little town with Its twisting, zigzagging streets, Its medieval towers and buildings and Its ravine where not a drop of water flows. In every doorway a man is seated making soles for sandals. Indeed the entire town appears to be dedicated to the manufacture of sandals which you see everywhere In dies and hales, overflowing the shops. In the center of the town Is a tiny, green fquare, as neat and trim as a salon, beneath ancient, overarching trees.

Nearby are two or three cafes, which serve as the club for the city notables; and the triple rows of wicker armchairs on the sidewalk are occupied by silent, gruve men who neither drink nor talk. Here they remain, as motionless as statues, for hours at a time. "1 have never In my life seen so many people sitting down as there are In Spain," remarked an American woman who was In our party, "I should like to bring some of my fellow countrymen here to teach them the art of which they are abysmally Ignorant the art of repose." ltay-niond Kocouly In I.e Figaro, Paris.

Mr. America' CXXIimUITIXXIZIIXZIXraXXXTTTTTTTn pi Inllns, Texas. The open In jj of Hcufc'un county, Texim, as a gxi-nt oil-producing nrea lmn furnished ono of the iiiOHt Interi'HlIiiK chapters In the history of oil-Held developments In this country. A year or so ago a pnrty of Tpxhs hUHlnesa men olitulned from the state authorities leusten on many B(piHre miles of prairie hinds In that county for the purpose of exploiting the acreage for oil. The lease In question were located ahum miles from the nearest oil production.

After the company hud 8dd stock for alfout -0 cents a share and raised more money hy the formation of an Hilled organization to which a consld-erahle acreage was assigned the work of drilling a test well in this wildcat territory was undertaken. A railroad that has heen Itj the hands of receivers for long time passed through a large section of tills property. Iielievlng the railroad wag In a hopeless condition, the receivers had petitioned the stale aulhorllles for consent to ahandon the property, which was In reality a streak of rust, and to sell the rails and other assets os Junk. The state railroad commission declined to grant the request. After loading up several flat cars with derrick timher, casings and other material necessary to drill an oil well, the Pioneer Oil company of Iteagan county directed the railroad ollicials to convey the material to a point along the hroken down railroad, from which point the (hilling material was to he hauled some miles liy place where It was considered most deslrahle to start the test will.

After the drilling material had 1 transported ahout fifty miies frmu the loading point the rail began to s' ltle and finally the weight of the locomotive and freight curs caused the roadway to sink In Texas gumbo to the depth of several feet. Being imable to proceed any fariher, the drilling material was unloaded and It was then and there decided to drtll on the spot. The well came In a large high-gravity producer. It opened up what Is now considered the most promising light oil field In Texas. 'i We have the exclusive sale of General Tires in Cherokee County.

i rTTTIIIIITITTITIiriTTTlTrTTZ311IIIlXIXXX Modern Ideals Make Cave Men Seem Tame Another ideal of the flapper has heen shattered. Her vision of the cave man Is all wrong. He did not catch them young and treat them rough, nor did he a-woolng go with a big club and prove his devotion to bis sweetie by dragging her around by her unbobbed tresses. A professor of Belolt college has been looking up the records of the gay Lotharios of sixty years back and cannot find a thing to show they were the tough hunch we had always supposed them to he. The fnct is they were a mollycoddle, nambypnmby set of young fellows, who would have made a sorry showing with the present day maids.

Instead of wielding clubs they found great thrill In stringing heads and begging the hands of their loved ones on their bended knees. That Beloit professor has done the men of the present age a great service by showing up the cave man In his true character. The young men of today do not pack clubs and stone hammers and may not be rough enough to come up to specifications, but we cannot accuse them of putting in their time stringing heads. There Is nn opportunity now for some favorable comparisons.

When Canada completes the job of expanding the Welland ship canal, It will offer a channel for vessels of M.OtK) tons capacity, with lock chambers 820 feet long.

This artificial waterway provides the way for vessels passing between Lake Erie to Lake Ontario "to climb up ami down Niagara falls." Canada has already spent SfftO.UOO.OOO on improvement and plans to spend another $50,000,000 before the work is finished In 11)29. Within five years big ocean steamers can come directly up the lakes to Cleveland, Chicago, Duluth and other important shipping points. The Well land lock chambers, 820 l'eet long, will admit the passage of almost every type of ocean vessel. The lock chambers of the Panama canal, capable of handling any boat afloat, are only feet lcwig. The near approach of this notable Improvement In the Welland canal, the total cost of which Is borne hy Canada, may prove an incentive to a speedy decision on International plans for the continuation of the seaward route Improvement through the canalization of the St.

Don't we sometimes take a mean delight in dominating a situation, In lording It over another person, in exercising our small rights till they become veritable acts of despotism? There's the husband who habitually places his wife In the position of a menial by requiring her to ask for money. There's the nagging, fussy wife whose "nerves" keep the entire family In subjugation. There's the bully brother who makes life for his small sisters utterly miserable.

And outside the family there are others who turn their functions In society Into realms of absolute power. There's the bad-tempered boss, and the overexneting teacher, the snappy petty official. But whether our tyranny Is an innate one that lies In our character or an acquired one that has come through chance position in life, most of us have It in some form or other. There's no need of adding, we'l be better people and the world happier, too, without It. The Designer Magazine.

S. LIPSCOMB Secretary Matrimony Tangled by British Empire Laws London. Odd laws complicate matrimony In various parts of the British empire. Delegates to the British Commonwealth league revealed that: In South Africa a wife may pledge her husband's credit to half his Income. Australia has six different marriage laws.

In the state of Victoria divorce law contains five grounds for divorce India has two chief marriage laws. A Hindu marriage is under a religions sacrament; a Moslem marriage a contract. Divorces are facilitated for Mohammedans, but there is no divorce for Hindus. Mohammedans permit marriages of children, who may repudiate the contract on coming of age. In Canada marriage licenses used to be sold by jewelers, but they always tried to sell the wedding ring to the contracting parties, so now only authorized clerks may sell the licenses.

CIXXXXXXTTTTTTTITrrrTTmrrtlXIIIXITTTTTTZTTTXIITTITtTi TTTIIITTTTtIXTTTTTITItirTTTTTTTTTXIITIITIYYTTTTYTT3 The Skylark The skylark is to me the most wonderful bird in the world, because there is no sense but just rare beauty to his way of singing. Like some mad spirit, Borne blithe bird soul, he flies in ever widening circles towards the heavens, singing as he climbs higher and higher, until you swear his very throat would burst. Then when he Is only a flashing speck away up almost out of sight, he dives like a graceful monoplane, trilling his pure Joy, wild with life, mad with abandon in the exotic nonsense of his feat. Suddenly he checks his fantastic drop and then, as softly as a leaf floating downward in a gentle breeze, he glides to earth and his song is ended.
