GREAT SOLDER NET
DEATH LIKE CAESAR
Wallensfein One of GYeaf-
est Military Leaders

The man who probably came near
or to making himself Napoleon
than any other in Europe from the
assassination Of Caesar to the appear
ance Of the COrsican, was Wallen-
stein, whose tremendous influence
made him an outstanding figure in his
tory.
Just three centuries ago. In 1926,
Wallenstein raised an army for the
Holy Roman empire to oppose the
Bohemians, after the latter had been
augmented by the Danes and other
northern Protestants. He smashed
the forces opposed to him and drove
them through Hungary. Then he
drove north, clearing great sections
of Germany, but was repulsed In an
attempt to capture Stralsund on the
Baltic. He had, however, been so
thoroughly victorious that his foes
seemed conquered. But as so often
happens, the triumph had been too
complete Wallenstein had been ar
rogant In his treatment of the princes
for whom he was fighting and they
suspected he planned to overthrow
them and make himself a dictator
over central and eastern Europe.
They brought about his dismissal by
Emperor Ferdinand
Gustayus AdoIphus, who had made
Sweden the master power of the
North, then entered the arena and
France was backing him with sub
sides. The victors were suddenly put
on the defensive by the march Of the
Swedes through Germany. while their
allies the Saxons, occupied Bohemia.
The princes who had brought about
Wallensteins fall had to implore bin
to rescue them. At first he declined,
then consented when offered not only
command over all the imperial armies,
but power over conquered territory
greater than had ever been bestowed
by monarch.
Wallenstein quickly pushed the
Saxons out of Bohemia and overran
Saxony. Gustavus Adolphus had to
march north to meet him and at Lut-
zen, in 1852, the great armies met
The Swedes won the day, but the de-
feat did not lessen Wallenstein's
dreams. Plots and counter-plots thick
ened, until eight or nine of his cfa-
GERS were bought and agreed to as
sassinate their leader On February
night in 1884, at banquet in one of
Wallenstein's castles, three Of his fol
lowers were slain. The conspirators
hurried to Wallensteins quarters and
found him in bed With his customary
courage, he threw his arms outward
inviting the sword thrusts. The blade
of an assassin went through his
breast. Boston Post.

.Irsst Like a Man

Frank L. Dame, president Of the
North American company, described
what he considered the first case on
record Of a customers paying a gas
bill and Immediately asking for a
second one. TIE case was reported
by the management Of North Amer
lean subsidiary, says a news story In

NAMES AND DOTNGS
INSCRIBED ON ROCK
Proud c0nsaistadOres Left
Record Of Deeds.

Abruptly ending a low mountain
range and jutting out into a wind
swept valley like bold promontory
in gray-green sea FL Moro rock
guards a vast, silent region in western
New Mexico. Although it is the most
precious cliff historically in the Unit
ed States and as a national monument
is valued by the government, few
people who make overland trips ever
turn aside from the main highway In
order to view its grandeur or to pom
der upon its significance. The rocks
perpendicular walls. like huge escarp-
ments, tower 215' feet sheer from the
valleys floor and extend wedgelike
for hundreds Of feet back until they
merge into the mountain chain Their
smooth, hard surface, pinkish-yellow
in color, is ideal for inscriptions.
Charles F. Lummis calls the rock the
"stone autograph album" Upon II,
more than 300 years ago, the invading
Spanish conquistadores carved their
names and the dates Of their visits.
They called it El Moro, which means
the castle, but the name by which 1t Is
known now is Inscription rock. With
their sword points the Spaniards
carved their names, not in fun, but
as a record of their advent.
Inscription rock is situated S5 miles
east of the Indian pueblo of zuni,
about so miles southwest of Grants,
1 N. NJ. which is on the transcontinen-
tai highway and is near the Mormon
settlement of Ramah. The trail to It
leads over the vast lava flow which
lies like a huge snake through that
region, making difficult driving for au-
4 tomobiles. The rock is on the historic
\ trail which extended from Zuni to the
puebIos Of the Rio Grande and the
route which the conquistadores fol-
lowed in their quest for the seven
cities of Cfbola, the tabled story OF
which led to the discovery of New
Mexico by the Spanisrds in 1889 "A
/ few hundred feet back Of the wedge
shaped front Of the rock prehistoric
trail, with its separate fOotholds worn
deep In the stone, leads to the top,
where the remains Of two pueblos may
be seen.
The autographs, inscribed in quaint
Spanish difficult to decipher, are
found near the base Of the rock. They
cover many decades In time, from the
invasion By Coronado's men, the
leader himself passing to the south of
It's location, down to the advent on
September II, 1S4s, II ]. Il. Simpson
and q. H. Kern, an artist, who were
probably the first Americans to visit
the rock. One Of the most important
Of the names Is that OF Juan de Onate,
the founder Of New Mexico. On re-
turn trip from San Gabriel, n. M, to
the Gulf Of California be stopped at
the rock and wrete these words In
Spanish: Passed by here TO Com
mander Don Juan de Onate from the
discovery of the sea of the south on
the 18th Of April, 1906" This was
two years before the English settled
on the east coast. Onate's army con-
sisted Of two missionaries and thirty
soldiers.

Treat Diseases of AGED

That the ills Of the old need as
much attention as those of the very
young is the contention Of the Czech
medical faculty at Prague, where
clinic that treats exclusively the dis
eases of old age has recently been
opened, according to advices received
by the American Medical association.
Prof B. ITSELF of the medical faculty
of the University of Prague who Is
in charge Of the clinic, stated in his
Introductory lecture that two groups
Of diseases would be studied. those
that are peculiar to the old and those
that present different aspect when
they occur during old age. This clinic
is of particular interest to the repub-
lie Of Czechosloyakia on account Of
