estimated that $4,000, 900 invested in

fact that. to short-circuit stockhold-

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 15.-(P)-
Florida's penal system drew sharp

Only closing arguments and the
charge of Judge George Copper Gibbs
remained before the case could 60 to
the jury. A night session was planned
Friday night but was cancelled when
JNrors told the judge they were IA

The state contends Maillefert was
placed in the sweatbox for punish
ment for attempts to escape in such a
weakened condition that he was
hanged by the chain placed about his
neck to force him to stand upright.
The defense contends the young pris-
oner deliberately hanged himself
rather than serve his nine-year sem

Changing Spain Is Alluring


It's influence accounts In part for the
construction in Spain of 5000 miles of
perfectly surfaced and entirely modern
highways. 1t has arranged with the
Spanish railways to put on sale special
tourist tickets at a 33 per cent reduc-
ton. Today, briefly, it performs the
services OF travel agency, an unbiased
guide and a knowing friend, and asks
not cent for what it does.
The traveller has discovered Spain; in
discovering Spain he has discovered also
that he knows nothing whatsoever
about it. He imagined that Spanish
roads were bad; they are the best in
Europe. That Spanish hotels were
often dirty; they are invariably clean
and almost always comfortable. That
Spain was a country without travel
organization; its information Offices are
the most efficient in the world.
Country of Paradoxes.
Spain, essentially, is a country of
paradoxes-some amusing, some irritat-
ing, all likely to stretch the credulity
Of the person who has never travelled
there. And about no country, perhaps,
do so many popular misconceptions ex-
ist. Elderly ladies with romantic ten
dencies have written glamorous descrip-
tions of the Alhambra, composers who
have never been east of Chicago have
turned out exotic Spanish" songs, and
Americans have come to believe that
Carmen was merely an average Spanish
woman, that the castanet is the ma
tional musical instrument of Spain, that
every Spaniard is a Don Juan and a
toreador at heart, and that manana is
the word that all Spaniards live by.
And so we think of Spain as land
of orange groves and gardens, not
realizing that it is the least fertile
country in Europe, and, after Switzer-
land, the most mountainous. We pic
ture Spain as bathed eternally in white
Mediterranean sunshine; actually two
thirds Of the country's area has a cli-
mate not unlike that of New York. We
have been taught that Spain is 200 years
behind the rest of the world; it is gov
erned today by men as capable, as lib
eral and as enlightened as any in
Europe.
Similarly, we imagine the Spaniard to
be volatile, excitable, lazy and romantic: !:
as a matter of fact, he is extremely
hard working and reserved almost to
the point of being taciturn. We think
of Spain as gay country, but Spanish
architecture is frequently austere, Span
ish literature essentially realistic and
Spanish music almost invariably sad.
fairly large share of these miscon-
ceptions can be attributed to the fact
that since the beginning of the World
War Spain has more or less been

q PAIN for a decade has been the
ugly duckling of the travellers
Europe. The hotelkeepers of
~ Paris, of London, of Berlin, of
Rome have bowed their way to
aff1uence. Spain, lying off the main
highways of travel, has watched this
tourist tide sweep by outside her door
SIep and has remained, in the large,
unknown and unexplored.
But the Riviera is virtually deserted
this year; the majority of South Italian
resorts have had a wretched season;
and great many patriotic Englishmen
have been shivering in Glorious Devon
to the tune of or 10 guineaS a week.
Meanwhile, by some curious irony, the
Mediterranean Coast of Spain has had,
IN this Winter of depression, rather
more than its normal crop of tourists
even more, perhaps, than crossed the
Pyrenees and disembarked at Gibraltar
during the boom years.
And now another Easter has come
to Spain, bringing with it a pageantry
and splerdor unequaled in the Christian
world. Along the winding Gale de las
Slerpes of Seville, in the last week,
hooded figures have moved in long
professions by torchlight, carrying i'm
ages of those saints which, despite the
revolution and a great many anti-cleri-
cal demonstrations, still represent the
essential faith of Spain. In Valencia,
in Murcia, in Malaga, in Valladolid, in
fully a hundred towns, similar cere-
monies have taken place, some tre-
mendously impressive in their magnifi-
cence, some profoundly touching in
their poverty.
This year, as always, the color and
beauty of the Spanish Easter has at
tracted crowd of travellers, particularly
to Seville. And, with Easter over, Spain
will look forward to the most successful
tourist Summer Of her history.
Credit Given Travel Agency.
The fall of the peseta, which in five
years has slipped from more than Is
cents to less than 8-thus making
Spain, which had been one of the most
expensive countries of Europe, by far
the cheapest-has, Of course, in no
small measure been responsible for this
abrupt and sudden change in the uSu
ally regular tides of travel. But had it
not been for a single organization, the
Patronato Nacional del Turismo Cor
National Board for Travel in SPAIN
this change could assuredly not have
taken place.
Miraculously, in five years, Spain
has ceased to be a country which one
visits in spite of the discomforts of
travel; it has become perhaps the easi-
est country for the first-time tourist in
Europe Most of the credit for this
quite astonishing progress must go to
