In the swift rush of daily news, more is said of military leaders and their campaigns, of statesmen and changing governments, than of the deep social and economic transformations behind the news, or the character of this land and its CIVIL , people. Long before King Alfonso fled, these changes were of course, under way, and because of them his monarchy failed. These transitions have gathered momentum, until today this once romantic land of duennas, monasteries, bullfights and leisurely pastoral life has written a new and dramatic chapter in its long history. Where centuries-ol- d country lanes and mountain trails used to wind, fine new concrete roads now streak over the hills. To a large degree, men have exchanged their saddle mules for flivvers, and the highwheeled, clumsy oxcart yields to the whizzing motor truck. Senoritas Bob Their Hair. From the Bay of Biscay down to the blue Mediterranean, traditional peasant costumes are being discarded and men are dressing in senplain blue overalls. Black-eye- d d oritas today lay away the mantilla, get their hair bobbed as typists, teleand hunt phone girls and shop clerks, as do their sisters in many lands. New thinking, as well as new machines, changes the way of Spanish life. Bullfighting still goes on, but now the intrepid toreadors belong to a labor union! You may still find guitars and fandangos, for Spanpeoiards are ever a music-lovin-g ple, and possibly you may find here and there a lovesick couple mooning at each other through an window. More and old more, however, the radio supersedes the guitar and the girl has come out from behind the historic grillwork and gone to the movies with her sweetheart or to the street barricades to fight with him! One fact to grasp, in understanding the social muddle here, is that Spain is divided into 50 provinces; and not so many years ago it was commonly said that it also had 50 different national dances and costumes, together with almost as many dialects. Comparatively sudden advent of d roads, faster vehinew news broadcast and cles, speeches by air, and the breakdown of church influence, all combine now to dissipate this old conservative provincial spirit. Thus has Spain been turned into a milling, restless land. For the first time country and town life are freely blended, and the peasant can hear the exciting talk of city radicals and revolutionaries that yesteryear came only as a remote murmur. Spain is now becoming so modernized that busses of every kind and color race along from village to village, from town to city. Till a few years ago, many country people never journeyed more than 20 miles from home in their lives. Now by cheap, or even free, rides in war times, Jthey travel all over the time-honore- city-job- iron-barr- ed high-spee- country I Polities! Parties Are Many. With the rise of the republic came, of course, more liberty of speech and action; but, born of the fiO provinces and their 50 different ways of thinking, came also wide division of opinion and action. Political parties of all shades sprang up in great variety and number. Certain factions held that progress should be attained gradually through education of the masses masses as yet untrained in the art of government. This is obviously a slow process and one would suppose that in a romantic land of manana" a slow process would be acceptable. But the manana idea is another of those old Spanish customs so rapidly disappearing; many now demand a quicker approach, a faster progress. Thus a peck at Spain of today reveals a startling modernity of thought, civilization and comforts and contrivances, superimposed upon the stubborn ! j ; j er survival of many foal ways and prejudices that bend or break but slowly. Irrestibly, however, the cities put on a more modern dress and quicken their pace. Consider, hastily, some of the cities and towns that have figured in recent war news. The New York of Spain. Take a look at Barcelona, the New York of Spain. It is the largest city in the country, the most important financial and industrial center and by far the busiest seaport. The sun shines in air crisp and exhilarating as you stroll down the Paseo de Gracia, Barcelonas most important thoroughfare and indeed one of the most interesting and modernistic streets in the world. Fine motorcars (no trucks allowed on this wide avenue) stop and go at modem American traffic signals. At the foot of the Paseo is the very heart of Barcelona the Plaza de Cataluna a large open space filled with statues, fountains, flower beds, paved 'paths, and benches. Always animated, human streams flow in and out of its subway entrances. The Plaza, too, is the center of fierce turmoil in every political upheaval. It is surrounded by large, ornate structures banks, hotels, and new telephone office building with copper-gree- n tower, a Yankee skyscraper indeed in a Spanish metropolis! Flying at another comer is a welcome sight for American eyes the Stars and Stripes indicating the splendid offices of the United Stater consulate general. Use American Cash Registers. Big signs advertise American automobiles. Indeed, of all cars in the Plaza are of familiar make. There is a large American bank a few doors up the street; in bookstores are displays of American fountain pens, and in the tobacco shops even chewing gum! All these business houses use American adding machines and cash registers, and the offices hum with American typewriters. Many of the fine new apartment buildings are equipped with American doors and electric refrigerators. Here foreign trade" is a pulsing thing far removed from the dry statistics of our commerce. Rambla" really means a dry ravine, but in Barcelona the word is used to designate a wider street or boulevard. The original fascinating Rambla of Barcelona is like no other thoroughfare in the world! It is a long, straight avenue with a wide promenade for pedestrians in the center and is lined with tall plane trees. Busy stores flank the Rambla from end to end, interspersed with an ancient theaters, cinemas, church or two and a large numbe of cafes. Under bright, wide awnings that canopy the sidewalks and shade the little tables, idlers sit and watch the lifeblood of the metropolis stream up and down its main artery streaming at a much quick tempo since recent shooting started! Like the Paris boulevards, each section of the Rambla bears a different name. First come ornamental kiosks displaying an amazing variety of newspapers and magazines in every European language. Then comes the bird market. Arranged in cages of all sizes along the promenade is a bewildering show of yellow and brown canaries, gray parrots from western Africa, green ones from Brazil, tiny parakeets, all setting up a lively chatter. New World Gives Way. The next section is the brightest of all the Rambla de las Flores. Here open-ai- r flower stalls, bossed d by peasant women, of-flowers of every color and shade. Love of flowers is one point at least upon which all divergent political parties can agree! Following the flower stalls come more kiosks where one may procure ice cream or soft drinks. Buildings begin to look older now the New World gives way to the Old and finally we come out into the wide water front, with its ornate customshouse, the tall statue to CoPaseo lumbus, and the palm-line-d de Colon. To the right, in the shadow of the huge, somber stone barracks, is a long double line of bookstalls. Sloping up on the right of the harbor is the high hill of Montjuich, with a sinister old fort upon its crest. In turbulent days of riots and strikes, executions of ringleaders take place here. three-fourth- s black-haire- WNU Service. er of the type now used by the U. S. weather bureau for unmanned flights with light recording instruments. Since a single sounding balloon ind is able to carry a strument to an altitude of twenty miles it is obvious that 2,000 soundt ing balloons could lift an gondola weighing 1,000 pounds to the same lofty position," he said. It is my intention to construct such an assembly and to make scientific observations at the altitudes reached by sounding balloons. Before making such a flight I intend to test the possibilities of the composite balloon by making, in the near future, an experimental flight with eighty sounding balloons attached to an open gondola." On this experimental flight, Mr. Piccard expects to be contented with the modest altitude of about two miles. He added: ir As a whole, our new craft, if it works, will work like a very large dog team and the pilot will be the driver of 2,000 sky dogs.' There is a widely accepted story of a multiple-balloo- n flight 150 years go, with a craft said to have been invented by two prominent early members of the American Philosophical society in Philadelphia. Published in France not long after the first balloon flights there, it went into great and convincing detail and was all a hoax. But the story has persisted, and is solemnly repeated in every history of aeronautics and in all the encyclopedias. However, multiple balloon flights really were made in both this country and Europe during the 1820s, so the Piccard proposal has precedents of quite respectable standing. half-poun- air-tigh- lighter-than-a- Fear of Dead Is Blamed in Indians Babel of Languages Washington. Dead men tell no tales, but they helped create the babel of over 100 languages spoken by American Indians. This theory is advanced by Dr. John P. Harrington, Smithsonian Institution ethnologist and authority on America's ancient tongues. Widespread among Indian tribes, he explains, was terror of the dead so intense that even a dpad persons name was not whispered aloud. Since Indians commonly bore personal names such as Blue Reindeer or Strong Bow, relatives and friends, after a death would find it advisable to invent new words or at least change slightly the words of the dead Indians name. This doubtless accounts in part. Dr. Harrington says, for there beinj: over 100 Indian languages, many as different as English and Russian. Laws Now Bar Child Marriage in 39 States Washington. The wave o pared these with similar information obtained from men and women of eighty, ninety and years of age. Jews More Susceptible. Relatively far more of the older people were of British race stock, although the method of selection of this group for study and the time of immigration may have influenced thia factor. Jewish people are more susceptible to heart and blood vessel disease, the study showed. The old men and women had longer-live- d ancestors than the young patients. These factors are beyond the control of the individual, but living conditions and habits which he can control evidently also play an important part in causing development of heart diseases. Country life, for instance, is not as hard on the heart as the stresses of city life. Nearly of the men and women past eighty years old lived in the country or small towns, while nearly of the young heart patients lived in large cities. The older persons all claimed to have been moderate eaters and while, as the doctors pointed out they may have forgotten the hearty appetites of their youth their body build was generally lean as compared to the heavy build of the young heart patients. Smoking Flays Big Part. of the older peoOver ple exercised considerably till well past middle age. The young heart patients had many of them been strenuously athletic in their youth but only few continued to exercise regularly. A striking difference between the two groups was found in their use of tobacco, and this together with other evidence of the effect of tobacco, the Boston physicians believe, suggests that smoking plays an important part. A little over half the old group were smokers but only a few were heavy smokers. Over of the young group were smokers, more than half of them heavy smokers. The two groups were more alike in their use of alcohol. A surprising finding was that severe infectious disease, generally supposed to impose considerable strain on the heart, had occurred, with the exception of diphtheria and pneumonia, more frequently in the older group than the young group. Irregular and few hours of sleep and nervous sensitiveness and nervous strain were other conditions' found much more frequently in the young group. one-hundre- d three-fourt- hs nine-tent- nine-tent- nine-tent- hs hs hs Fainting Spells May Be Latest Strike Technique in France Washington.
