Electrification of Railroads Il Co.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BARCELONA, Spain.-Spain Is un.
dergoing a rapid transformation, and
the latent energy of the population has
begun to burst forth into new ente
prises which promise national pre-
perity.
In Catalonia the movement is show.
ing itself more rapidly than in other
parts, probably because the region is
more closely connected with the out
side world and possesses a people
which is by nature progressive and
laborious.
One OF the forms the transforma.
ton Is taking in Catalonia is in elec.
trifcation Of railroads. The lines run.
ming from Barcelona to Manreso and
to San Juan de Las Abadesas are
now almost completely electrified, and
the work is to be continued on other
local lines belonging to the Northern
Railroad Co.
The region Of Catalonia is well sup.
piled with potential waterpower.
All through the north of Spain
progress is being made with the con.
struction of new means of communica.
ton, which will serve to open up fresh
markets for districts now entirely cut
off from connection with centers of
population.

WOMEN'S PASSPORTS

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Women are more careless
with their passports than men. Every
day during the tourist season several
Americans enter the consulate at
Faris with worried air and the
news that their passports have dis
appeared. Four out Of five are
women.
Most OF them are unable to ex-
plain how their precious paper hap
pened to get out of their possession.
With proper Identification they all
receive new passports. For those
whose European tours have just
begun and who expect to visit several
countries the extra visas make a big
dent in the pocketbook, or that part
of the budget originally set aside for
shopping expenditures and the pur-
chase Of presents for the kin back

NEW YORK.-Ruins and debris OF
crusaders castle in Palestine have
been studied by an expedition from
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
as a. result the everyday life of the
knights who set out for Jerusalem to
recapture the tomb of Christ from
the infidel Is beginning to be clearly
understood.
In a report Of the museums eXpedi-
ton, just issued. DIR. Bashford Dean,
curator of armor, points out that OBJ,
jects used in homes of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries are rare, because
whatever existed in towns and Las.
ties of Europe has been thoroughly
picked over and lost since early
times. Only religious books and art
have survived to- show q little Of the
crusaders existence.
Castle Wall Preserved.
The great castle Of Montfort, just
explored, has remained very much as
the Saracens left it after a victorious
and destructive siege against the Hos
pitalers in 1871.
From the articles and fragments of
articles discovered in the ruins DIR.
Dean states:
I'VE know today many objects as
sociated with the crusaders daily
life-his pottery and glass. his pitch
ers and bowls, his wooden spoons, his
thimbles and needles.
I'VE have seen his tent peg carved
with heraldic bearings which his peo-
pie hammered into the ground prob
ably with the. type of heavy hammer
which here turned up and carved pos
sibly with the very chisels. or the
rings to which he tethered his steed
and how they were fastened to the

glass. We know even definitely what

course, the grostesqueries Of
Dickens play on human fraility
are robustly present. However
often they appear, there is a
sustained and warming novelty
in the puzzled "Bless-my-souls"
Of Pickwick; the japeries of
Sam Weller and the rantings
of Jingle.
John Cumberland, put to the
test of trailing an enormous
false stomach around, verges on
flawless portrayal if there can
be any such for a character
that never finishes building
throughout the thousand or
more pages of bookprint. Cum
berland adduces what believe
to be the ideal amount Of
gravity and clouded perspective
that so permeates the honorable
founder of the Pickwick Club.
Charles McNaughton does SO
finely by Sam Weller that there
is regret when he leaves the
stage. Hugh Miller's Jingle is
another corking job. Unquali-
fled praise also for Bruce
Winston as Tony Weller; Kath-
crime Stewart as Mrs. BardelI
and Ruby Halter as Mrs. CIup-
pins.
Since there are above fifty
in the cast, not a third of those
who give good accounts, can be
mentioned, but the gentleman
who makes the opening har-
rapgue to the jury in the trial
scene, and thereafter browbeats
the witnesses into victory for
his client, is to a good many
OF us the outstanding portrait
