Bismarck, IN. D., March 22.-The
inspection Of North Dakota's national
guard and military equipment, COM
menced about ten days ago, will not
be completed until next Monday, when
. second visit must be paid Fargo.
The armory WAS not open to tnspec-
fion whom Adjutant- General Tharal-
Son and Captain Ridenour. U. s. A..
were there last week, the annual
automobile show being in progress in
the building.
The adjutant general and regular
army inspector looked over Co. A. and
its ., equipment at. the Bismarck
armory: this evening, Mandan COM
pany will be. inspected, and Thursday
Dickinson will. come in for q once
over. Tho officers return here Fri
day to spend two days in checking
cover state supplies at the adjutant
generals headquarters, and will leave
Sunday evening for Fargo to complete
the round Of the state. Everything,
the adjutant general advises, has been
found in excellent condition, and the
standard Of the troops has especially
appealed to Captain Ridenour.
The adjutant general has received
no special orders in connection with
the present national crisis. The North
Dakota National guard Is in prime
tion's call on a moments notice, and
that is about all that possibly could
be asked OF the boys. Under new fed
eral and state regulations the guards
men now are subject to six years
service, but that provision is by no
means as serious as 1t sounds offhand.
for 1t merely means that after their
three years original enlistment ex-
pires they will, II they wish to take
the oath. become members of a re-
serve force which may be called into
active service in time Of need. The
new term Of enlistment makes no
change in the length Of active service,
and as the guardsmen's present terms
expire they will cease to be liable for
any service II they do not choose to
voluntarily bring themselves within
the reserve provisions Of the federal
and state acts. No definite action with
regard to recruiting the guard up to
the minimum strength required by the
fedeyal statutes has been considered
as yet. The appropriation provided
by the last legislature is larger than
heretofore has been made available,
but is about a third less than the
amount required to maintain the state
guard on the basis the war depart
ment dictates ;''',

TUCSON DRIVER
 CLAIMS RECORD
 WITH MITCHELL

Ed. Stewart, well known cafe man of Tucson, claims economy record to California and return, and when in terviewed, gave the following details of his trip:
 We left Tucson on June 1, in a comparatively new Mitchell Six tour ing car, with the speedometer set at zero, and started on out trip; first to Phoenix, then to Los Angeles, by way of the Parker Cutoff; from Los An geles to San Diego, and then back through Los Angeles to San Francis co, by the Coast route. While in San Francisco, we visited all the towns within a hundred mile radius. Leav- ing San Francisco on out return trip we travelled the Inland route, through Modesto, Merced, Fresno and Bakers field then on to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles back home by way of Needles, Prescott, Black Canyon, etc. We arrived at Phoenix on the morn ing of July 10, having been gone just five weeks. During this entire trip of $500 miles not a mechanical adjust ment was made, not even one. In fact the tools were never taken out of the tool kit for any purpose what ever, and we never had a puncture on the entire trip. All tires look like they would be able to make another trip like the one we just completed

 The South Sea islands. another in accessible part of the globe, have like
 wise succumbed to the lure of the movies. In the island of Tahiti there are no less than three shows and business is brisk The South Sea islander will sell his shirt or, if he does not posses such luxury, his girdle, for the price of a ticket for the pictures.
 One of the queerest places in which picture show has taken place is in the middle of the Arabian desert It was given three years ago by party of European film agents, who were accompanying an Arab caravan from Smyrna across Asia Minor A screen was rigged up from bed sheets and an acetylene lamp pressed into service for the lantern. The orchestra con- sisted of Arabs, and their instruments were tom toms and camel bells. An hours show was given, and the spec tators, composed of some hundreds of Araos attached to the caravan, grouped themselves on the desert sand, with the sky for their roof

LIFE IN MADRID |S NOT AFFECTED BY
 OUR MODERN WAYS

One thing allures me about Madrid It is the only large capital of western Europe that dares to be itself Brus- sells and Berlin, Paris and Vienna, London and Stockholm, all are bit standardized, says Will Irwin in Sat- urday Evening Post. The women wear Paris fashions, the London clothes. There are the same old cafes, the same old uniformed orchestras, the same old grand opera houses, the same old everything. No sooner does a fashion in public living start in Paris than it is copied somberly in London, strenously in Berlin-where the speciality is being gay with your teeth clenched-merrily in Vienna and decorously in Stockholm. At least it was so before the war
 But Madrid, even at the very first glance, is itself. Half of the women, no matter how we'll dressed or how ill dressed otherwise, drape over their heads that bit of lace known to the language of Spain and romance as the mantilla. It is the only correct thins for church; and a visit to church is part of the days routine for every conservative Spanish woman. On the first hot day out will come the pie tured fans with which they guard the Castilion plateau.
 Only once or twice on this visit have I seen a motor car truck. The work is all done by great cream colored Snanish oxen with immense horns
