GYPSlES OF SPAIN.

Quick to Use Their Knives In QuarrsIs
Among Themselves.
One of the things to attract the no
tice Of every traveller that visits Spain
is that strange race which he finds
scattered here and there in small
groups in the remote rural districts or
near the great centers of population.
1t presents type that can be mis-
taken for no other in the Spanish do
minions.
The lips thick. the eyes large, black
and piercing; the hair long. black ana
straight; the complexion olive tinted,
the Spanish gypsy. whether encamped
in a sheltering ravine or under the
arches of an aqueduct Or in the shad-
ow Of an overhanging cliff. is indeed
Spanish because born in spain, but in
all else he is gypsy.
Time was when SpaniardS of the
true blue blood called gypsies New
Castilians," or Egyptians" or Moor
ish footpads;" but, while their traits
have undergone no change. their name
is now definitely gitanos or gypsies.
Between 10000 and GO,O0O is the
number now in Spain Most of them
have no fixed abode, but in some parts,
and notably in Andalusia. there are
several small settlements, for towns
they can hardly be called, where these
wanderers have taken possession of
caves in the mountain side, whence
they sally forth to tell fortunes and to
filch. Wherever they are they are in
clined to be quarrelsome among them
selves and to enforce their arguments
by means of wicked looking knives,
which they WELD with great deXterity,
America.

much concerned with the expression OF
ideas to give itself UP entirely to the
creation of beauty" its symbolism Is
somewhat limited, artificial and lit
eral, and it tends to be static. Still,
cher dancing is penetrated with the
finest spirit Of Indian art, in much the
same way in which Isadora Duncan's is
imbued with the art of Greece" Mr..
Fitch further suggests that much or
ancient Greek dancing survives In the
Spanish dances of to-day: Many OF
the poses found in the Greek figurines
are essentially those OF Spanish
women" He adds the curious bit of
information that in the early days OF
the Roman Empire Iberian dancers
created a Juror in the imperial city
comparable to that which the Russian
dancers have achieved in the Paris,
London and New York of to-day.

parison of the German laws on sick
ness, accident and invalidity and old
age insurance with the corresponding
provisions "A the British National In
surance Act Of 1911, the Old Age Pen
sions Act Of 1908 and the Working
mems Compensation Act Of 1906. The
comparison is not carried out between
that part of the British National Insur-
ance Act which relates to unemploy-
ment, and the present German methods
Of dealing with this problem, because
no imperial or state legislation has Yet
been passed on the subject, and the ex-
periments made thus far have been
local, on municipal or private initia-
tive. That the whole subject Is OF
great and immediate interest to us In
this country needs no demonstration
and the book will be found to answer
all needs of information here.
Mr.. Dawson proceeds from an anal
ysis of the acts themselves TO con-
sideration Of such matters as the cost
Of insurance, the attitude of employers
and workpeople, and, above all else,
the prophylactic results of sickness in
surance. lie aflrms that the many
sided preventive work which IS being
done constitutes so far the peculiar dis
tinction OF the German system:
In Germany, as everywhere, what the
workingman values more highly than
distress benefits is n fair and full use
OF his faculties. What he wants is not
sickness pay, but q healthy life; not
accident compensation, but sound inns
and unimpaired energies; not inhrmlty
pensions. but the opportunity and the
power to follow as long as possible the
employment of his choice. Hence, In
their aggressive campaign against dis
ease and their constant endeavors TO
lessen the risk to life and limb in indus
trial occupations, the insurance authori-
ties have from the first been conscious
OF the goodwill OF the working Classes
1t Is undoubtedly still too early to
draw conclusions concerning the influ-
ence of the cost OF social insurance on
the fortunes of German industry. Thus
far It has borne the burden well by
means Of greater efficiency in labor
saving appliances, modernization Of
plants, intense specialization and the
like Mr.. Dawson points 10 tho en-
pire's constantly growing export trade
in the face of competition not bur-
dened by insurance taxes as proof
that the handicap is not serious ono

one, and may yield different results
