FORGET DEBT TO cERvANTEs
Residents Of Town ImmortaIized by
Great Writer Have Voted 20
Change lts Name.

The inhabitants Of the little Spanish
village Of Puerto Lopiche, disdainful
OF the fact that Cervantes immortalized
their town in "Don Quixote." now de-
sire to change it's name.
The question was submitted to a
vote of the inhabitants and 1t was de-
ci1ed that Puerto Lopiche should here
after be called Puerto de San Juan. In
honor of the order Of st. John, which
occupied that district In the Middle
ages.
Several Spanish newspapers have ex-
pressed their great indignation at this
ingratitude, reminding the villagers of
their obligation to the great Cervantes.
But apparently the people of Puerto
Lopiche remain entirely unmoved by
sentimental and literary arguments, de-
claring that Puerto de San Juan sounds
better than Puerto Lopiche. That, they
believe, IL the prime consideration
It has been observed that in other
places the inhabitants of places made
famous by great writer's do not always
appreciate the honor bestowed upon
them. Witness the good people Of
Tarascon who certainly have no great
love and esteem for Alphonse Daudet.

SOME QUEER NATURE FREAKS
monument Park. Near Colorado
Spr'n0a Contains Sandstone PHI.
lars Like Giant Mushrooms.

monument park. near Colorado
Springs. contains some queer freaks
OF nature. Among the most singular
- group Of light grayish-yellow sand
stone pillars, twenty or more feet
nigh. capped with thin layers Of dark.
coiored rock, which resemble the tops
OF giant mushrooms that have been
,snriveled and partially dried up. The
dark-colored Gaping being Of a much
harder rock than the pillars, has to
some extent protected the latter from
disintegration. The climate of Colo
RADIO being extremely dry. the wealth
ering of these rocks progresses at q
much less rapid rate than would be
the case were they situated in the re-
gion of heavy rainfall east of the Mis-
sissfppi river. This fact accounts for
the great number Of strange rock
forms which are found in the arid re-
gion, the process Of disintegration be-
ing relatively slow.
In the East, where rocks gather an
excess of moisture and then freeze
and thaw, they deteriorate much more
rapidly. This is noticeable in the case
OF several historical monuments which
nave been moved to the United States
from the dry desert lands Of Egypt,
where they stood unchanged for CEN
turtles; but under the climatic condi-
tons OF our Eastern states they have
already shown signs of change and
disintegration.

Summer, to most people-though the

the more you will like summer, the
more you will dread winter.
For summer, with its luxurious

Spring corresponds to our baby.

Autumn Ia like the waning years of

own. when we suffer for our neeli.
renee and mistakes and are rewarded
for our effort. Most of us, when we
look backward In the autumn of life
say: IF only had my life to live
over again
Winter, Of course. corresponds to
human death, the alternating of old
growth until new growth is ready to
sprout and bud.

DEVELOPMENT Of the Horse.

The earliest horse whose bones have
been found was little animal about
the size Of dog. He had three toes
IN front and four behind. Horses seem
to have appeared quite early In Amer
lea, and many, no doubt, walked the
very ground you are standing on,
many feet below the present surface.
Horses found life easy. and AS the
years passed their race grew larger.
They became more adapted to running
On open prairie lands. where hard, hrm
feet served best.
Now, 1t Is a principle Of animal ma
ture that the less surface Of the body
1Asre Is on the ground the better.
Horses have reduced their feet to only
four hard, hoof-tipped toes. but the
remains Of other toes still show under
the skin.

InduStriaIS Show Greatest
Buoyancy Since French
Invaded Ruhr,
w. C. DURANT CAUSES STIR
Gary Says Steel Pros
poets Are the Best in His
tory of Industry.
By WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Sterling re-
flected no misgiving at the opening
over the prospect of prolonged occupa-
ton of the Ruhr by French forces and
stocks which appeared to have broken
further away than ever from European
affairs in the previous session showed
even less concern today.
Early dealings were given to trans
actions based on developments affect
ing individual stocks. Fisher Body
jumped to 1872 up 20 from the recent
low on the offer of w. c. Durant to
purchase the entire capital stock at
5000 a share.
Industrials in the first hour dis
played the greatest degree Of buoy
ancy since the market first felt the
restraining effect Of the French adven-
ture. 1t is a long time since such
definite statements regarding steel de-
mand have been made as those of
Judge Gary and Eugene Grace. These
utterance resulted in stimulating not
only steel shares but stocks OF all
companies in a position to benefit by
the trade boom which steel pros
perity forecasts.
The head of the steel corporation
says:
I'VE cannot fll domestic require
ments."
Bethlehems president characterizes
the domestic steel demand as ''enor-
nous" and adds that I'VE do not need
to increase exports at the present"
The fact is that the steel industry
is turning out every ton of steel con-
ditions permit and is rejecting orders
because Of inability TO make deliveries.
Steel stocks. as a whole, have not
reflected the improvements in the in
dustry or the excellent last quarter
reports that have been published so
far.
Twenty active industrial stocks
Thursday averaged 97.79, up SO per
cent; twenty active rails averaged
S6.46. up .35 per cent.
