NEWMAN ON "SPAIN"-Sunday.
Spain" in all its glory will be revealed
by E. H. Newman, traveltalker, Sunday
afternoon at the National Theater.
Monuments left by the Moors afford
many reminders of these remarkable
people, without whom Granada would
never have known the Alhambra.
Cordoba would be bereft of its cathedral
and there would be no Alcazar or
Giralda tower in Seville.
This year Mr. Newman says he en-
1oyed unusual privileges being permitted
to enter and photograph at will the
priceless possessions in the palace of
the King and royal family. The Prado
Gallery, in Madrid, with its rich collec-
ton of VelaSqueZ Murillo, Goya, Ribera
and other Spanish masters, was for the
first time thrown open to his cameras.
Grandees of Spain invited him to their
palaces. giving an opportunity to obtain
intimate glimpses of hitherto forbidden
places. From Gibraltar in the south
to Barcelona and San Sebastian in the
north, Mr.. Newman brings a complete
story. Not the Spain that is usually
portrayed, but new and charming
version OF country with its historic
background. Here there is romance.

A|RPLANE SECRET
Ethylene Glycol Is Fluid De-
Yeloped to Cool Engines

Washington, March 81 Pp-Ethy-
lene glycol. common base for many
anti-freeze solutions, was announced
today as the chemical developed by
army engineers to replace water as
an airplane engine cooling fluid. Use
OF the chemical is foreseen as open
ing an unlimited field for future de-
velopment of water cooled engines.
The fluid. which is clear, colorless
and odorless. boils at 3S7 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t is the first and sim
plest of polyhydric alcohols. and its
constituents can be obtained on the
open market at reasonable prices.
Although simple in its compost
ton, the chemical was found to be
the most satisfactory liquid for
cooling arplane engines after six
years of research by air corps en-
gineers in the Wright field labora-
tories near Dayton, Q.
Use of the fluid which is said to
make possible a IS per cent reduc-
ton of weight and air resistance
offered by the present day water
filled radiator, is expected to solve
q problem that has been perplexins
acronautical engineers since the
Wright brothers constructed their
first plane.
Radiator Weight Cut
The cumbersome. heavy radiator
necessary for water-cooled engines
can be cut to one-fourth its present
size and weight by use OF the chem
ical cooler. The result is an increas'.
Of speed. reported by army engi-
neers to be II miles an hour on
standard pursuit plane and pro-
portionatc increase in payload.
Because Of its very high boiling
point, 115 degrees above that OF
water. cthylenc glycol. as a cooling
fluid makes possible high speeds
without ovcrheating.
It is estimated multi-cngined
planes used for transporting pas
scngers on commercial airplanes
will be able to increase their speeds
as much as 10 per cent and their
payloads by several hundred pounds
through use Of the chemical fluid.
Only minor changes are required
to make present water-cooled en-
eines suita BILE for using the chemical
must be made tighter and closed

Fuel used in such engines will be
treated with an extra amount Of
benzol OF tetra ethyl lead TO offset
any added tendency toward detona-
ton.

DR.. Caldwel's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for A years, and pc
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless of how
much one tries TO avoid it. OF next
importance, then. is how to treat Il
when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor Of getting as close 10
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vege-
table compound. 1t cannot harm
the most delicate system and is not
habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasa mt tasting, and
youngsters love il. 1t does not gripe.
Thousands Of mothers have written
US to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve Of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu.
man beings to put into their systems.
In q practice Of ~ years he never
saw any reason for their use when
a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will
empty the bowels just as promptly,
more clearly and gently. without
gripping and harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation. 1t
robs your strength. hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let a day go by with
