ROMANCE OF LOST ATLANTIS
Spanish Scientists Announce That
Island Has Been Located off
Coast of That Country.

People who like their science well
mixed with romance will be attracted
TO the announcement of the Spanish
academy which says that the lost
island of Atlantis has been located Off
the coast Of Spain. Details OF this In
teresting discovery are not yet avail
able to the public, but that will leave
the curious all the more room for
speculation.
The age and vitality of the story
that there was once great and opu-
lent country somewhere west of the
Pillars OF Hercules which grew TO a
magnificence passing all description.
and then sunk into the sea has caused
more than one geographer to think
that somewhere back In the misty past
there must have been a solid basis for
the legend. Nobody knows how old
the story is. Homer knew II, and
Plato gave the world description OF
the place, but every mention of It,
however early, is accompanied by the
assurance that the date Of the sub
mergence was even then In the re
motest past.

Honor Awarded Scots

The best English is spoken in Glas-
cow, or at least John Masefield says
so. Mr.. Masefeld has given English
men shock with this statement.
While the Scots have consistently ar
gued for decades past that the best
English is to be found In Scotland
and especially in Edinburgh, 1t re-
mained for Masefield. himself an Eng
lishman, not only TO accord the high
est honors to Scotland but TO hang
them on Glasgow. English members
OF parliament, however, are not will
ing to accord any such distinction to
the members OF the Scottish labor
party. as the latter are frequently
hard 10 understand In debate. Mase-
field. who recently was Judge at n
Glasgow music festival, declared that
the quality Of speech Of Glasgow chill
dren came as n revelation. and added
that the children promised to be the
best speakers Of English. He even
went farther and said he fancIed there
might be n time when the Scots would
be the best singers of the musical
world.

"THE TRAIL OF THE AXE"

When "The Trail of the Axe" comes
to the Peerless nexxt Saturday, Dus-
tin Farnum will star in a role espe-
cially suited to his robust tempera-
ment and love for the great outdoors.
His greatest successes, such as THE

is in such environments that Dustin
Farnum is happiest as an actor and
happiest as man. The society"
play hampers him mentally as well
as physically for he is a big fellow
who breathes fully and moves freely
in open spaces. Artificial limitation
brings discomfort to him. His new

was played. The stars enjoyment of
his stay there is mirrored on the

tion, nor how serious, he attacks it

The guests were not the aristocracy
of the town, 1t must be admitted.
Matte saw her mother approaching
just as the children were preparing to
take possession Of the house. She
knew that her mother would send the

result that Matte would be sans stand

LESSON IN ROYAL WEDDING
Writer Sees Significance In Nuptials
OF Union Of the Duke of York
With Commoner.

The marriage Of the duke of York
and Lady Elisabeth Bowes.Lyon was
invested with an exceptional degree of
that human nature which makes the
whole world kin and with something
more. 1t was noteworthy reminder
Of the radical contrast between roy
atty In Great Britain and in some
other lands; for example, the states Of
Germany under the monarchial regime.
In one of the latter, Willis Fletcher
johnson writes in the North American
Review, such marriage would have
been impossible; 1t would have had to
be morganatic, the wife forever
doomed to rank inferior to her hus-
bands and her children debarred from
the succession. In Great Britain
though one of the oldest and proudest
monarchies in the world, it was not
only possible but also was not even
regarded as extraordinary, and 1t was
MS complete and valid as though the
bride had been Of royal blood. Before
the wedding a subject and COM
moner, instantly after that ceremony
she was royal highness," standing
IN direct and close succession TO the
throne as the wife of the heir pre-
sumptive. The fine tribute to woman
hood was obvious, and no less SC was
the demonstration Of the essential
unity between sovereign and people.
The best American democrats, who
justly boast that any native citizen
may become president, must appreci-
ale kingdom in which subject and
commoner may become queen and the
son Of n commoner may become king
and emperor.

NOT MEASURED BY WEALTH

The possession Of wealth no longer

gaining ground. This was the keynote
OF message to the convention Of In.
ternational Rotary in st. Louis from
Paul p. Harris, founder Of Rotary and
president emeritus of Rotary Interna-
tional.
"The time when rich men are the

Greatness in future will depend not

Rotary's peculiar formation, one rep
reser.ative of each profession and
each line of trade, makes it pre-emi
nently the best organization with
which to effect the purpose. 1t is n
large order.
"The advent of Rotary marked an
