Will Americans
Become Poems?
Continued from page one)

CONTINUED from page one)
The people of the United States
have been led to believe that they n
a free people for so long a time that
they may be a little fractions at first;
but when they wake up n of these
mornings to learn that some n in
Wall Street, New York City, owns
their farm and everything that they
once thought belonged to them, that
the same Wall Street gang owns their
states ,theirtcounties, their cities and
towns, their schools and churches, and
in fact there amt a single damned
thing left that they don't own, then
Americans will commence to realize
that they are poems.
1t may be however that the world,
the country and the people are not
so much different from what they
ever were and it is only that we have
grown older, more sensitive to the
imperfections, and have become child
ish and pettish, prone to find fault
with everything, and even have the
gall to criticize the acts of God.

carty spent IL years in Old Mexico,
San Domingo, Hayti, Spain, Spanish
Honduras and South America.
During his residence in this country
Mr. McCarty was engaged in various
occupations, his first job of engineer
ing work being done with Russell
Kimball.
After leaving here in 1910 Mr.. Nc
Carly went into Mexico where he was
engaged in railroad construction work
during the Madero administration.
During his stay in Mexico he had
the unique experience of being host
pom several occasions to Francisco
Villa and some of his lieutenants at
the time Villa was at the height of his
reign as the most picturesque bandit
in Old Mexico.
After leaving Mexico in 1911, Nc
Carly went into Hayti for a few
months where he was engaged in rail-
road construction work, proceeding
from there to Spain where he was
employed by the Ebero Irrigation and
Power Company of Barcelona, in the
foothills of the Pryenees.
This company was at that time en-
gagged in the construction of three
hydro-electric plants, the largest of
which was on the Segre River and
developed 10000 H. P. During this
construction work, which employed
$4,000 men, 600 of them Americans,
McCarty was division engineer.
At the successful conclusion Of the
work in Spain, he next went to San
Domingo where he was engaged in
road construction work for the DOM
inican government. During his stay
in San Domingo, he, with his wife and
baby, was occupying a house in Do
mingo City when one of the periodi-
cal revolutions, for which the country
is noted, broke out, and their home
was hit twelve times by bullets from
rifles and machine guns.
The McCarty's were in Hayti dur
ing the revolution when the Presi-
dents palace was blown up and 25C
people were killed, including Presi-
dent Laconte.
1t was claimed that there were g.
100000 rounds of rifle ammunition
and go tons of powder in the palace
at the time of the explosion, and the
palace was razed to the ground.
Following their thrilling experience
in Havti and San Domingo the Nc.

months in studying the ranching and
stockraising industries at close range.
He contracted with the Argentine
government for the construction of
46 large brick buildings to be used for
the housing Of government employees.
Mr.. McCarty's observations of the
Argentine, its peoples and customs
are interesting.
The gaucho or South American
cowboy finds his work similar to the
range riders of this country except
that there is no open range in the
Argentine.
The country is taken up with i'm
mems ranches comprising many lea
CUES of land. A league Of land is
5000 acres. and the smallest of the
ranches comprise a league or TO- of
land.
Stock, both cattle and sheep, is
handled in a manner similar to the
range practice of this country except
that feeding is not necessary as the
range grasses are abundant and very
nutritious. 's
On the pampas or treeless plains,
there are no rocks or trees and the
black rich soil grows wonderful for
age, two acres of which will keep an
animal in good condition the year
round.
! Cattle and sheep are branded, ear
marked and handled much in the same
manner as our stock. At shipping
time the stock is loaded in end-load-
ing cars, a sufficient number of cars
to accommodate the number of stock
are placed end to end, with a plat
form between the cars, and the entire
herd driven through the train until
all tn cars are filled.
The gauchos, contrary. to our cow
BOYS. wear small hats and large: pants
which resemble pantaloons as much
as anything, falling well below the
boot tops, and a multicolored outfit
that is extremely picturesque.
Their saddle is called a ricado and
is made of two rolls of mating, raw
hide covered, which is ,cinched parall-
ell to the horses back, the rider sit
ting far back and practically over the
animals kidneys. The ricado has nc
horn or pammel. The gauchos are all
expert ropers. handling a 40 foot raw
hide rope with ease and skill, but
their craftsmanship is poor as compar-
ed to the ability of our western
broncho busters.
Land in the Argentine ranges in
price from s1.O0 per acre for the
grass lands, to $4,000 per acre for the
lands used for agricultural purposes.
Large quantities of wheat are
grown, and two thirds of the worlds
supply of linseed is raised there with
out irrigation.

NO SPOTS ON THE SUN THIS
YEAR-SHINER GETTING
READ TO TAKE VACA-
TON, is OPINION

WASHINGTON, May 5.-A sum-
mer of "freak weather" is in prospect,
because of solar conditions, govern
ment weather experts and scientists
predicted tonight. After an extensive
study of conditions on the sun.
: Repeating statements made to the
United Press on April %, that the
sun is taking a vacation" just as it
has every II years for a long time,
scientists at the Smithsonian Institute
and weather bureau said that "topsy
turvy weather conditions" would pre-
vail all this year.
Scientists do not forsee a SUM
merless year." such as prevailed in
1916. when the people wore over
coats in July and 10Y and frost were
common in the dog days. They do
not know what to predict except that
the weather will not be that Of a nor
NAL summer. They do not know
whether the sun is wholly to blame.
Being able to assign no other cause,
however, they rest their case on the
known fact that the sun is not be-
having normally this year.
The cold spring in the United
States, unusually hot weather in
Furone, unusual hurricanes in the
Pacific, a tornado and cloudburst in
Washington, d. C.-these are all evil
dences, the scientists say, of the I'M
settled conditions which make wealth
er f~orecasting well nigh hopeless.
As nearly as the scientific men can
explain it, what happens to cause such
conditions is this:
Every II years during the 200 years
covered by reliable data, the sun has
ceased developing Sun spots" These
snots. which broke out on the surface
of the sur like volcanic craters on the
earth, indicate that the sun is working
full time, and their appearance al
WAYS is accompanied by plenty of
heat and normal meteorological con-
ditions on the earth.
When the sun spots do not apneaI
the sun Goods off" and rests. This
yenr for instance. it is furnishing the
earth from three tn four per ZEN less
heat than usual. Under such condi-
tons, the scientists say, the weather
on earth "iust goes to pieces." Con-
ditions are extreme-either very hot
or very cold, very rainy or very dry
very calm or very stormy. Storms
during such times are likely to be OF
unusual violence. Drouths and heat
waves of killing intensity occur.
The weather also is "spotty" ac-
cording to the scientists. One side OF
the earth may be burning up, while in
: another quarter unreasonable snow
sleet and hailstorms and killing frosts
occur.

Auto Fuel from
!. Waste Paper

London, Eng.-Waste paper may
save the motorists of the world against
high fuel prices!
This possibility is offered through
the discovery of microbe, by the
action of which it is said one ton of
waste paper can be made to yield fifty
gallons Of alcohol suitable as motor
fuel. The discoveries are two Bri-
fish chemists, H. Langwell and H..
Lloyd Hind.
The microbe, says its captors, is a
rod-shaped bacillus which can develop
so much heat in its growth that other
germs, which might interfere with the
alcoholic fermentation, are automa-
tically killed. Apart from yielding the
motor alcohol, the chemists say, this
germ is capable Of developing some
$4,000 cubic feet of gas, suitable for
internal combustion engines, from one
ton of waste paper.
Thanks to the breweries in this
country, even more alcohol can be OBJ
tanned through these bacilli. For, say
Langwell and Hind, it is found album
dainty in the waste hops left over
FROM the brewing process.
Of course, such motor fuel from
this source is. out Of the question in
the United States.

Brady Says Hit
Ball Before Turf
BY MIKE BRADY
(Western Open Champion)


While the golf beginner may have
plenty of trouble trying to hit the
ball at all, especially when. he is try
ing full swing, it is just as well
from the time of first taking up the
game to try to acquire the habit of hit
ting the ball before hitting the ground,
particularly with the mashie.
That is the general way of attain
ing backspin and in these modern days,
when courses are so thoroughly bunk
ed and greens so carefully guarded, it
is almost obligatory to have backspin
to get any where in the competitive
ranks as well as TO get the most en-
joyment out of the game.
It is CALLING for one man to see his
playing companion or opponent stick
a ball on a green and see it stop after
rolling a comparatively few feet, while
his own ball hits about the same place
and runs like a scared rabbit across
the green.
Watch the star golfers and if you
get a chance mark in some way the
spot where the ball rests and then note
where the mashie digs into the turf
You will find the break in the turf al
most invariably in advance Of the spot
where the ball rested
The club has hit the ball on the
down stroke and as the ball passes
over the face of the club it is set to
spinning, whence comes the bite when
the ball lands.
Far too many golfers hit the ground
first and that is the chief reason why
so many mashie shots are topped-be-
cause the blade is rising when it hits
the ball.
