ISLETA, N. M, WAS
 FOUNDED IN I540
Is 25 Years Older Than St. Au-
 gustine, Florida

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 5.--Ysleta, Texas, and Isleta, N M., are two diff ferent towns, but their history has been confused for perhaps cen tury. Now and then someone makes the claim that Ysleta, Texas, is older by about 25 years than St. Augustine, Fla, said to be the oldest town in the United States Yet in reality it is Isleta, N. M.. if either. which is older than St. Augustine, modern historians say.
 Records have been found which credit Coronado with establishing a town in 1540 named Isleta or Ysleta. Some historians ins their research tried to establish the identity of that town 12 miles from Fl Paso, known as Ysleta Now, however, it is we'll established that Coronado was not close to Fl Paso, and that the nearest he got to this city was about 12 miles south of Albuquerque, N. M. The same distance from Albuquer- que as Ys1eta is from Fl Paso, is a town called Isleta, which is the one probably referred to by Coronado, ac- cording to Mrs. J. M. Frank, teacher of history at the Fl Paso nigh schOoi.
 Ysleta, or Isleta, as the name of an Indian tribe. does not appear in history, until as late as 1S4o, so it is presumed that the Indians were named for the towns rather than the towns for the Indians.
 History tells of trouble between the Tigua Indians and Spaniards around Albuquerque, and in Isleta. and of other trouble there and of In- dians fleeing from Isleta to the coun- try near Fl Paso. The Indians driven out, it is believed, established the present Ysleta, close to Fl Paso. This was in 1880. At that time it was called Isleta del Sur, Isleta of the South.
 In recent years, Isleta del Sur has been changed to Ysleta and Isleta has retained it's ancient spelling. The difference in spelling has not been an- accounted for.

ORDER IS LIKE THE KU KLUX Is Known There as the ''Order Of
 the Crusader

London, Feb. b.-A strange secret society known as the Order or iht Crusader. which seems to blend with an antique ritual certain points of re. semblance to the Ku Klux Klan and the Fascist of Italy, is springing up In England.
 According to a member of the or- der it was founded two years ago. During the last two months 1t has been conducting an intensive cam paign for membership, and while it refuses to divulge the number of its members, 1t claims to have them in every section of Great Britain.
 The avowed object of the society is to bring back the spirit of the Cru sader to everyday life.
 Meetings of the order are held be- hind closed doors. On ceremonial oc- casions the members are dressed in a striking garb. Officers wear crimson robes with a large white cross on the left side, and other members adopt black gown with a white surplice over it, on the breast of which is a red cross
 some or I0e elHDlGlIio Ol tut order are suggestive of a different purpose, however. In the ritual sword is carried to symbolic "serv- ice" spurs arc worn to represent "chivalry." and Loyalty" is expressed by carrying banners.
 The literature of the order states that it aims at forming Fin every ward orseach town and in every large village aqconciave of crusaders. com posed of real leaders of public opin- ion in the locality" Later on they intend "to get crusaders into parlia- ment, on county and local councils, in the churches and out of them"
 The initiation of candidates, as re- gards time, place and ceremony, close ly resembles the Ku Klux Kan.
 When each candidate is initiated he is expected to make donation of two or more, there being no limit, to be used by the officials as they see fit.
