' because of Its change of but It is chiefly the Spain of Madrid and the well beaten path between the easily accessible cities, that most tourists travel. Most Travelers have their first experience with the Spanish carabinero either at the customhouse of Iran, south of Blafritz, or at Port Bou. on tim Mediterranean side. Then they hasten to San Sebastian, on one end of the Pyrenees, or to Barcelona, on the other, and after a brief stay, proceed to Madrid. Later, If there Is to Toledo, ' and southward to , time, Seville and Granada.' Thus merely the high spots are touched, while ; the unlimited beauty and interest of Spain lying along the bypaths remain scarcely known and ore still waiting to delight the .venturesome traveler. . In seeking Spain one of the1 best places to start tle quest, 'is on the Spanish Rlvieray along the Mediterranean coast from Gibraltar to The center of thty district Almeria. is the seaport of Malaga,, a city of 150.000 inhabitants, surrounded by a semicircle of mountains which forms a natural rampart against the cold from the north and gives to this delightful spot a mildness of winter climate unequaled In all Europe. 'As a general description of Malaga today, one need employ only three words: clean, modern, charming. Polite , traffic officers perhaps one should say because they are dressed bobbies, in ueat uniforms of British pattern- -; direct' the stream of automobiles just as they; do in London. There are broad ' t hvenuesf, lovely villas. and parks; in which an endless variety of bright flowers Is always in bloom. Indeed, this Andalusian city, nestling on the blue Mediterranean, has am bitlon and Is exerting effort toward Its accomplishment to attract the tourists, dr at least some of them, who have grown tired of returning year after year to the French Riviera. In the Market Place. One center of interest Is the market place, a large covered building built around r picturesque Moorish arch which serves as its entrance. There are aisles of stalls devoted to meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit ; , but the market bus overflowed its banks and now extends out into the adjoining streets, where in open air there are rows of fruit and vegetable stalls in charge of peasant men and women. Apart from the fruit stalls Is a stand selling earthen water jugs, of various sizes, arranged along the sideThese' are open at the neck, walk. hut have a tiny spout In the side. The peasants drink by holding the jug well above their heads and letting the tiny stream of water fall into their open mouths. A novice at this method has considerable difficulty not only with the aim, but also with swallow ing against the steady stream of liquid The. crescent ,of mountains which surfounds Malaga is about 60 miles from point to point and is formed of - five ranges. They still bear their quaint Moorish names: Sierra de Mijas, Sierra de Abdalagis, Sierra de ,Alhama. Sierra de Tejeda, and the Sierra de Almijara which drops suddenly Into the sea near Almunecar. The old word sierra" means, in Spanish, a saw, and it is vividly descriptive of these irregular, sawtooth mountain, lines along the sky. Each rahge in in itself cut and scarred into jagged peaks and precipitous chasms, the tops being of barren and forbidding rock. Then, lower down, is a covering of palmetto grass, thickly Interspersed with1 aromatic herbs thyme, rosemary, and lavender and on the lower slopes, In symmetrical rows, like soldiers, thousands upon olive trees. thousands of sliver-gree- SPAIN Bible Story of Locusts Retold t , Infarit Mortality , Cut in Ten States Washington.

Centuries ago, long before Christ, a swarm of .locusts descended, upon Egypt, ravished the land, and was later swept into the Red sea. The Biblical historian responsible for the book of Exodus re ported the locusts as a plague sent by the Lord to' punish IHiuranh tor of Israel. Phalying ,to raoh repented and the locusts were destroyed,' writes Ernest Main In the the-child- ren Chicago Tril,hine.

Stop their-- progress. Natives of Basra almost had resigned 'themselves to' the ever increasing swarms. Pests Blown Into Gulf. Then, suddenly, when almost al! hope of stopping the destruction had left, up came a strong wind which blew the ravenous pests Into the Persian gulf, where they were drowned. Scriptural scholars note the parallel between the present day plague and the deliverance and the plague and deliverance of the Israelites centuries ago. They read in Esodus how the Lord visited his wrath on the Egyptians because Pharaoh had broken a promise to free the children of Israel. "And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt . . . for they covered the face of the whole earth so that he land was darkened, and they did eat every herb of the land.

The narrow streets in Malagas center which one passes every day are mentioned often.

Now It has been cleaned up to some extent and the inhabitants are less Importunate. In Malaga, as elsewhere In Spain, one sees many apprentice boys of twelve to fourteen years. Every plumber, carpenter, and electrician has a small boy to carry. his tools and help fifith the job. in many cases taxi drivers have a boy to t do the cranking and other onerous tasks. The hairdressers boy accompanies him to the house, carrying a little bag, and sits on the steps while Madame is being marcelled.
