caravels" from a lengthy tour of Spain.
One of the most astounding things he
found there was the transformed city
of Madrid. The Spanish capital is
city of extreme contraSts-its streets
are either wide and beautifully paved
or very narrow and paved with cobbles.
In climate it has all the extremes of
cold and heat, of hot sunshine and chill
winds. One street reminds one of Lon
don, another of Paris another of Milan
and the old part around the markets
looks like Spain Of the story books.
The city is built on ground of such
varying levels, each offering extensive
views, that few streets give the impress
sion of monotony. To an American,
Spanish hours seem a bit eccentric
dinner at o'clock, theaters starting at
II and the cafes beginning to fill up at
o'clock in the morning.
The second topic in the series will be
"Andalusia and the Alhambra."
LOWELL THOMAS-November 9.
Lowell Thomas, who has lectured in
13 countries of the world, will come to
Washington November to deliver his
lecture entitled with Lawrence in
Arabia and with Allenby in Palestine, -
at the National Theater at $3.50 o'clock.

Col. T. E. Lawrence, who became the
'uncrowned king of the Arabs" and
Gen, Edmund Allenby, known as the
"deliverer Of Jerusalem" OF the per-
sonalities, exploits, and place in history
of these men Mr.. Thomas will talk, his
vivid word descriptions supplemented
by colored motion pictures taken on the
scenes OF the events in the Near East.
1t will be remembered that Lawrence
was modest and peaceful archeologist
with an intimate knowledge of Arabia,
who became British officer. One daY
he asked for a two weeks leave of alb =
sence, leave that, according to Mr.
Thomas hasn't expired yet" Col.
Lawrence donned the Arabian costume
and because the Arabs knew and trusted
him he did what had been considered
impossible, welded together into an
effective fighting force the various war;
ring tribes and factions and helped to
conquer the Turks. No less colorful is
the tale of Allenby's campaign in Pale
stine and his driving the Turks from
the Holy City; restoring the shrine of
Christianity to the Christian world.
Tickets may be had at the Willard
Hotel Social Bureau, the National Thea
