The delegates came from all over

represented $1,000 planters.

cigarettes and smoking tobacco In
France is a government monopoly.
inspections of the growing crop are
frequent and inspectors are legion.
Planters are told how much acreage
each may devote to tobacco and how
many plants shall be raised on each
acre.
There are frequent inspections
during the growing season to see
that only a certain number of leaves
grow on each plant. The inspec-
tors pull off all leaves over the
specified number allowed.

Women Are Burden Bearers
Women probably hold in Moroc-

double carrying on their backs for
many miles huge packs OF fodder
for the horses and cows. Men
ride stations only. for mares do no
work and carry no loads because
their sire myth must be saved so that
they may foal strong healthy colts.
But no burden is too heavy for wo-
men. You will see a man riding
omfortably astride his horse or
donkey and his wife trudging be-
hind in his dust and carrying his
baby and the family belongings.
And yet you see no discontinued fe-
male faces. Crushing labor has been
their lot for countless generations
and they accept it as stupidity and
patiently as the donkeys.

Motoring In Spain
After leaving French Morocco, DR..
and Mrs. Grosvenor motored
through Spanish Morocco. visiting
Tetuan and Ceuta. and then crossed
the Straits OF Gibraltar to Alge-
cirase. Contrary to the prevalent
belief. they found the motor high
ways of Spain excellent with the re-
suit that they had a comfortable
and most enjoyable ride from Alge-
ciras along the coast to Malaga.
thence over the superb mountain
passes behind Malaga to Granada
where they visited the Alhambra IN
which Queen Isabella gave her
Jewels to Columbus to finance him
and sent him on his historic voy-
age: then they motored through
continuous olive orchards for sew
eral hundred miles to Seville where
is Columbus tomb, to Toledo and
Madrid.
Spain Is a remarkable country
and particularly interesting to
Americans because of her historic
associations with our continent. Her
people look happy and are prosper

heartily. Her cities. cathedrals. land

there was no real dream at all. but only the

saw was quite unlike what probably did hap

And You Become King
BY BRUCE BARTON
Copyright. 1927

~ NE Of the first self made
men in history was Sar-
gOn !. His biography,
- carved on an ancient
tablet, has been deciphered as
follows: "Sargon, the powerful
king, the king Of Akkadia am 1;
my mother was poor; my father
knew not; the brother Of my
father lived in the mountains.
-. Akki, the irrieator, reared
me to boyhood. Akki, the irri-
gator, made me a gardener. My
service as a gardener was pleas
ing unto Istar and became
king"
He claims no special genius,
you notice. He was born poor,
he started at the bottom, he
worked hard and got to the top.
Success stories differ in their de-
tails, but IL you will compare
Sargon's admirable paragraph
with any page Of "Who's Who"
you will discover that the essen
tails have not changed.
I once was allowed to visit the
Office Of a very great corpora
ton. Its president and vice
presidents receive immense sal
aries and are popularity regarded
as giants Of the industrial world.
Yet one Of them said to me-:
There is not single brilliant
man in this organization" He
was right. Fifty young mon had
exactly the same start with that
company as the half dozen who
are now at tho, top.

ence, and if it succeeds. ii
will be in spite of, not because of &C.
neva.
Three factors make Geneva difficult
Tor disarmament, my observations here
show. In the first place. Geneva is
conference bored. The city sees SO
many conferences every month, every
week, and almost every day that no
new enthusiasm can be worked up
even at the novelty of seeing the
President Of the United States con-
vene conference at that most Ameri-
,can-shunned spot, the secretariat of
sthe League of Nations
Pail Upon Geneva.
Secondly. Geneva is disarmament
discouraged. For more than one year
now the League of Nations has been
holding intermittent sessions of the
preparatory commission on disarma-
ment AS the name implies, this is
merely a preparatory gathering to de-
eide upon what shall be discussed at
the real disarmament meeting. But
the nations assembled have not yet
even agreed upon what to discuss So
pessimistic pail has settled down
upon Geneva and nobody believes that
any arms conference can ever be sue.
cesSful
But decidedly the worst handicap
which Hugh Gibson and his col.
leagues are facing here is the lack
of unified press support and the lack
Of any unified public opinion behind
them. Since the preponderance of
newspaper men here are from Switzer-
land, Germany. France. Italy and
other countries not participating in
the conference, most are critical and
many are openly hostile. So every
morning the delegates find a rather
critical array of continental news.
papers awaiting them at breakfast.
Spurred by Opinion.
Compare this with the Washington
Arms Conference. There the dele.
gates were spurred on by what was
probably the most powerful public
opinion ever united in one country.
A committee of prominent citizens
was appointed to inform the delegates
OF the condition of this opinion and
from all parts of the United States
100000 letters poured into this COM
mittee urging the adoption of the
opinion as strong as this could not
be disappointed. not even by for
eign nation. To oppose it meant seri-
ously impairing the friendship of the
American public, something which
BRAND did not realize when he pied
for higher naval ratio for France.
Even as the foreign minister of an
allied and much-loved France, it cost
him considerable popularity.
After they returned to Japan. Ad.
miral Kato and Prince Tokogawa de-
scribed this power of public opinion
as irresistible. Kato was a silent man,
not given to extravagant language.
But in one speech he reminded his
audience that, although he had built
up the Japanese navy and had fought
for appropriations for every battle
ship as a father fights for the sup
port of his family, yet when he stood
in the conference hall at Washington
and sensed the united determination
of the American people and the dele
gates for the scrapping of offensive
navies, he realized that a new era
