SPANIARDS' DEBT TO MO0RS
Art Of Tile-Making Is a Legacy WhIoh
Invaders Left When They
Were Driven Out.

The Spaniards have been fighting
the Mo0rs for the last 1000 years,
but the MO0rs, during the centuries
of their occupancy Of the Iber.an
peninsula as cOnquerOrs, developed
much In the way OF art and architec-
ture that is most highly valued today.
To them we owe, for one small item,
the tiles which so beautifully adOrn
our bathrooms and which, utilized in
various ways. contribute so much to
the artistic finish of dwellings and
other buildings. The MoOrs estab-
lished at Seville great tile factories,
and at the present time that city is a
very important tile-making center.
In Its nelghborhood are deposits OF
clayey earth highly suitable for the
purpose, which is ground fine. sifted.
dampened and stamped with designs,
then burned with slow fire. Colors
are applied aud the tiles are finally
baked with high heat for twenty-four
hours.
Many Of the designs are artistic, rep
resenting scenes from Don Quixote.
bull fights. etc. Sacred paintings are
reproduced In tiles for churches. In
fact thanks to their ancient enemies,
the Moors, the Spaniards have de-
veloped art In tiles far beyond any
thing with which we are familiar.

Grid. Reminder Of Ancient Times.


Girdles of metal, adorned with
brilliant ornaments. now quite COM
monty used largely for purposes of
ornamentation In women's dress, Is a
reminder, or the revival Ola custom
of ancient times. when they were
worn by both men and women to con-
fine to the person their long flowing
garments. They were not always of
metal, but often Of linen or leather.
The girdle also served as the support
of weapons. utensils. bags or pockets,
etc. In the Middle ages books were
sometimes bound with strip of fexi-
BILE stun hanging from one end Of the
volume, which could be drawn through
the girdle and secured.
Among some people, even in this
day, the girdle is put to practical
use. Being large and loose, the scab-
bard of a sword or long dagger Is
passed through the girdle instead Of
being hung from II. a hook or pro-
jecting button serving to hold 1t In
place.

cease this week, the board agreed.
The top of the hill has been cut
80 feet from its peak, but the frost
has prevented the grading from
the slopes. About 10000 yards Of
dirt are yet to be removed from the
slopes but this will not be done
until spring.
Bids In Six Weeks.
Bids for the construction work
will be asked from outside con-
Germs as well as local firms, the
board decided. However, the call
for bids will not be made for about
six weeks.
Landscaping OF the entire site of
Augustana buildings was discussed
and the board has consented to
have sketches drawn which will
show the landscaping of the entire
property, and not only Zion hill, as
was originally agreed upon.
A more important step was taken
by the board when it instructed ar
chitects to make a study of the
grounds on which there is any pos
sibility of the college building and
to draw plans, similar to a sketch
OF a city plan, showing where the
college may place buildings. This
will be a permanent map of the
layout Of the college and will mean
months of study.
The chapel organ will be i'm
proved and several changes made
in the instrument, the board allow
ing the petition of the music con-
servatory. The cost of the i'm
provements will amount to several
hundreds of dollars.

Reforming the United States Senate.

Attempts have often been made to change the
character of the United States senate but clings
fondy to the practices that gained for it the dis
tincve title Of ''the greatest deberative body in
the world" Nowhere else in the world, perhaps,
is more time spent in desultory and useless de-
bate, in oratory that is let of apropos of nothing
at all. all provocative of delay in public busi-
ness. On that memorable 4th of March, 1917,
when Gilbert M. Hitchcock, as champion for
Woodrow Wilson, was holding the fort to keep
Senator George w. Norris from getting chance
to fire off his speech on the armed ship resolu-
ton, John Downey Works, about to leave the
United States senate forever claimed the right
to sing his swan song. colloquy about IS fol-
lows cnsued:
Does the senator from California think that
anything he will say will have the effect Of chang
ing any senator's mnd"
NO" answered the senator from California
Gould anything one of the senator's might
say change the mind of the senator from Cali
fornia?"
No, but it is my constitutional privilege to
speak and l am going to speak"
And speak he did, taking up an hour Of time,
relief to the democrats, who were anxiously
watching the clock that they might end the strug-
gle to keep Senator Norris from getting the
floor What he said Is emblamed in the Record,
and consists mainly Of words.
This instance is multiplied many times. Sem
ator Wadsworth Of New York says many demo-
cratic senator's are now repeating speeches, that
they may delay business Senator Borah is
anxious to bring up the practice Of pairing, that
senators may be compelled to attend sessions
Both these plans look to similar end, that Of
compelling the senate to do business and cease
wasting time in aimless discussion of everything
under the sun but the measure under considera-
ton.
