TO make:a person walk spanish Is
TO make him come up to time, or to
make him act under compulslon. It re-
fers to the old sport among boys in
which one boy selves another by the
collar and the seat OF the trousers and
forces him along on tiptoe. Hence,
by extension, 1t means to walk ginger
aly. Apparently the expression origis
nally referred to the manner In which
the Spanish pirates used to handle
their prisoners while starting them out

Inflated Currency Freed
 Germany of Mortgages

Berlin, July 5.-Thercs is probably no country in the world with real est ate less burdened with mortgage than Germany today, says Manfred Wron- kcr-Flatow, legal adviser of the Amer ican Chamber of Commerce in Germ- any, writing in a trade publication of that organization He estimates that more than 90 percent Of all German mort gages were cleared off and release given for payment in paper marks in the imitation days.
 All this has been achieved asserts the writer, "at the expense of those persons and institutions, who formerly looked upon a mortgage as the most secure form of investment, and whose faith has been rewarded by utter im- poverishment."
 Considerable real estate was bought in Germany by foreigners especially Americans, after the November, 1918, revolution when owners of house prop erty in many instances were compelled to sell at great sacrifices in order to avoid being ruined because of legisla- ton designed to protect the tenants
