SPAIN FULL OF MUSIC NOW
Bands Of Hungarian eypsles Fled
From France at Beginning of
War to Avoid Internment.

Spain is filed with music. At near
ly any hour OF night or day one can
hear the twanging and twinging of
musical instruments. The country is
overrun by orchestras of Hungarian
gypsies.
These bands are among the most fa-
nous in Europe. They usually are To-
Gated at Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice and
other centers of gay life. When the
war began these players, being Hun
garians, had to get out of France or
be interned as enemies. II they had
returned to Hungary they would have
had to put rifles on their shoulders In
place of violins. So they all migrated
Into Spain, filling the country with
music.
Spain already had its share of gyp-
sizes, relics of the days of the Moors.
These greeted the newcomers with
open arms. They play together and
often hold grand entertainments, at
which one of the Hungarian gypsy
bands play, an Austrian-Pollsh gypsy
sings and a Spanish gypsy dances.
Pastor Imperio. the fiery queen Of the
Spanish gypsies who married the king
of the bull fighters, Guyio, is one of
the star dancers.
1t is said the weird, Oriental strains
Of the Eastern gypsies combining with
the wild toreador music of the Span
iards makes strange but pleasing
music. A few bars of American rag
time is introduced now and then to
give dash to the dancing Of the tango
and one-step. This medley of music is
heard everywhere, at entertainments,
theaters, hotels, concert halls and even
in the streets, for Spain is crowded
with these wandering players.

The Man With the Hoe.

In the poem that caught general at
tention a few years ago the man with
the hoe was presented as a stunted OBJ
ject, a pathetic failure, without re
ward for ceaseless hard work, a crea-
ture who never had a chance to know
the Joy OF living. 1t was a false note
at the time, but suggested u subject
worthy of thought.
The national secretary of agrlcul-
ture has reviewed the food situation
and he declares: "rhe farmer who
makes five bushels of grain grow
where three grew before contributes
as much to victory and the future peace
and security of the world as any man
in the trenches" So runs the argu-
ment everywhere in a world crisis in
which energetic, practical action is a
grim necessity. A danger must be
overcome lest It overcome civilization.
The real man with the hoe is now in
evidence.-st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM
But He Could Tell Folks at Home
That He Had Seen Exhibits In
Art Museum, Anyway.

He was little and bent and aged and
a queer old felt hat Topped about his
ears. But his eyes were bright and
his chin stuck out at an aggressive
angle.
He evidently was on the home
stretch through the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art. he stood gazing with a
puzzled expression at a Venus de Milo.
Then he passed on to a piece Of fine
art, a pair of sculptured legs which
apparently were speeding through mid
air for no reason at all and with no
body to support. After gazing Mt these
for some time the little man from HI
Holler or some such point scratched
his head, then turned and made bee
line for the outside door, a relieved
expression on his face.

CARRY A SlX-TON BUILDING
~ by "a Feet, Without Aid Of
Any Machinery.

Carrying a six-ton building, without
the aid of machinery, or other equip
ment, was one of the unusual tasks per-
formed by $50 North Dakota soldiers
when they were on the Mexican bor-
der, according to the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The frame structure
that was moved housed the army Y.
NJ. G. A. at Mercedes, Tex, and meas
ured u by "a feet.
Because Its site was undesirable, 1t
was proposed to hire a contractor to
move the structure to a new location,
but the army engineers devised n plan
by which the men themselves could
perform the task and so save money.
They estimated that with $50 soldiers
helping, each would have to carry less
than so pounds. Accordingly the build
ing was well braced and Its walls pro-
vided with runners. Since there was
no floor the men were stationed along
all four walls, inside as well as out,
each soldier standing next to beam
inserted beneath. At the word of
command they lifted the building from
the ground and marched away with 1t,
to site 200 yards distant.
