THE LONG, LONG TRAIL OF
THE GYPSY

Now that the weather is becoming
mild again, some fine day you will
discover a camp of gypsies near your
doorstep. and wonder where in the
world they came from. The world hes
been wondering for many a century
whence the original gypsies came.
George Borrow relates that the first
gypsies made their appearance in Mol
davla In 1917. and no one seems TO be
very certain in regard TO their place
OF origin. The original 5000 increased
10 formidable proportions In a century
or two, and Maria Theresa and Joseph
II tried TO civilize them, with no sue
cess.
In the early days each little band
had a captain whom they honored with
the title Of count To secure the COW
eted position this leader had To be
valiant and courageous in the pillag-
ing expeditions for food and sagacious
and crafty enough TO settle their els
putes. For this he was allowed a third
Of anything that the band stole.
Despite their marauding tendencies,
and their more or less cOntemptuOus
attitude toward people not "of the
blood" they have a code of morals
which contains many excellent require
ments. A true gypsy must not have a
quarrelsome disposition, and he never
reveals the secrets Of the brotherhood.
Though they make the rest of mankind
their lawful prey. they are capable Of
great sacrifices for each other. They
pledge themselves never 10 marry out
OF their own sect, nor will they teach
their language TO anyone not a gypsy
by blood or adoption.
Their daredevil spirit perhaps has
had a passing influence on most of the
countries in which these wanderers
have lived. At least England Is ac-
credited with having contracted her
love 81 horse racing from them. and
they are nearly always 10 be found
among her jockeys and in attendance
upon her Derbys.
Pretending a knowledge OF the meta
physical and dabbling in fortune telling
have always been within the province
Of the gypsy women. They have
claimed that they could witch away
troublesome ailments OF the heart and
have compounded queer love philters
which instead OF imbuing the unfortun-
ate taker with a steadiness Of aim with
his love arrows, have poisoned his d.
gestive tract.
But they realize the monetary value
OF the myth concerning their ability
20 divine the future, and have since the
beginning 81 their history capitalized
n. In Spain where a large proportion
OF the race now lives. travellers say
that they find neatly whitewashed
caves lighted by electricity. and that
even gypsy royalty WIN caper and ca
reer around In fantastic dances for
the coins OF q casual visitor.

one part Of the Pacific then In another.
One OF the greatest regions Of vol
canic disturbance has been in and near
the island Of Java. in the southwestern
corner Of the Pacific. where that body
of water meets the Indian ocean.
VOlcanic-made in the first place. and
constantly being remade by them. Java
has more volcanoes than any area Of
its size in the world. Estimates OF
the active and extinct craters range
from 100 TO $50. Everywhere in Java,

lent upheaval' of Krakatoa in 1888.
Then mother nature turned anarchist
and planted a gargantuan internal ma
chine on the doorstep % Java.
Krakatoa is a little island In the
Sunda strait. between Sumatra ana

height Of the Washington monument.
Skyscraper waves flooded adjacent is
lands and rolled halfway around the
earth. Every human eardrum heard,
though il may not have registered, the
air waves as they vibrated three or
four times around the earth.
Krakatoa levied a smaller toll In
isolation, and many OF the $4,000
deaths from Krakatoa's eruption were
at far-distant points by drowning.

able stories of the earth opening up
TO swallow a dancing girl. Such tales
betoken another physical feature OF
the island fraught with human trag-
edy. Not only has it steaming vents,
spouting geysers, sulphur lakes. but
great chasms open and close. and they
have been known TO swallow villages.

Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, Eng
land, famous as the greatest of the
supposed Druid temples and one OF
the most striking of the uninscribed
monuments of the world. has not en-
tirely escaped the hand OF the vandal.
The larger monoliths are TOO massive
for easy removal. but some of the
smaller stones have disappeared and
are reported TO have been built into
bridges and mill dams of the adjacent
countryside.
Relatively small stone circles and
parallel rows of .nonoliths known as

stones belong 20 approximately the
same period which is the late Neoiith-
&c age. While the larger circles like
the Stonehenge and Marlborough Rocks
doubtless are temples for sun worship

the smaller groups OF stones mark bu-

CHIEF DEFENDS ARREST
OF STREET CAR hAGNATE
Detroit Holice Head Says Burdick
Planned to Start Fight in
Track Row.

DETROIT. January 11.-DeyeIop-
ments in the controversy between the
city and the Detroit United Railway
Company, which fared up early Sun
day morning. when the city effected
q forcible crossing with the tracks
otter the lines OF the D. u R., are
coming rapidly.
Acting Mayor Lodge has ordered
thorough investigation of the ar
rest and detention of Ellsworth j.
Burdick. assistant general manager
OF the ID. u. r., who. with a tempo
rary Injunction. attempted to stop
the work of laying the city rails
across those of his company. Mr.
Burdick. who. the police say, was
disturbing the peace. and was taken
across the bridge to Belle Isle and
left marooned there during the. early
hours of Sunday. while the track
laying proceeded, announced yester-
day evening he would file suit against
the city for personal damages.
Police Commissioner James Inches,
reporting to the acting mayor, justi-
ned his course in sending 200 police
men to the East. Side street inter-
section when work was begun. by
asserting the D. U. r. proposed to
start fight: N. Bardick. he said.
did not go to the scene merely to
serve his temporary Injunction, but
to direct a fight.
The police commissioner cited the
presence of several wreckfnS cars,
big snow plow and a number Of large
trucks with drivers on them waiting
for signal as evidence physical re-
eistance was planned. Mr.. Burdick.
as responsible head of the company
present, he said. was properly arrest
ed for invest iGation on a charge of
disturbing the peace.

LOSING SEA CONTROL.
England Cannot Maintain Tr1di-
ton, Lord Rothermere Says.

LONDON. January 9.-viscount
Rothermere. former secretary OF state
for the air forces. in an article today
in the Sunday Pictorial. under the
caption. The Folly of the Big Bat
tleship.' submits q startling conten-
ton directly challenging the tradi-
tional basis OF the British naval pol
icy. The doctrine he propounds is
that it is no longer possible for any
nation TO possess command Of the
seas,
Lord Rothernere wholly condemns
British participation in big battle
ship rivalry with the United states
and Japan because they obviously
are building against each other and
not against u.s." He urges that Great
Britain cannot afford to spend any
money-on naval construction at pres.
ent. Furthermore. Lord Rothermere
declares, III the United States and
japan persist in pursuing antiquated
forms Of warfare, that is no proof
the capital ship will survive" and
concludes that mo nation henceforth
will enjoy naval supremacy. That's
a nasty pill. but we must swallow it,"
he says.
