Civil War Makes World Conscious of Modern Changes Felt in Spain Prepared by National Geographic Society, r Washington, D. C. WNU Service. ' war CIVIL the in Spain startling changes which have swept that ancient land in recent years. 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 people. After reading Bob a lecture, Tom kicked him out. Added a foot note, so to speak.' In Reverse He was a congressman, but kindness dictates that he shall remain nameless. To a friend , who had expressed some doubt . regarding his policies, he retorted, Ill have you know, sir, that I am walking in the footsteps of George Washington! I see you are, replied the friend; but for some reason unknown to me, you are headed the wrong way. Laissez Faire . Isnt our friend, the political boss rather abrupt and dictatorial? answered Senator SorYes, ghum. He wont last much longer, What are you going to do about it? Nothing.

CHEEK UP, BOY Long before King Alfonso fled, these changes were of course under way, and because of them his mon' archy failed. These transitions have gathered momentum, until today this once romantic land of duennas, monasteries, bullfights and leisurely pas- toral 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 oritas today lay away the mantilla, get their hair bobbed and hunt city jobs as typists, telephone 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 Spaniards are ever a music-lovin- g people, .and possibly you may find here and there a lovesick couple mooning at each other through an d 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 new roads, faster vehicles, speeches and news broadcast 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 time-honor- iron-barre- high-spee- remote, murmur. Miss Lovely Whats the matter, Mr. Shye? You seem nervous have " you lost anything? Well er I I think Mr. Shye Ive lost my nerve! Confidential , ed . . Spain is now becoming so modernized that busses of every kind and color race along from village to village, from town to city.
