MADRID, Dec. 23 QN.SO.
Mysterious conferences by highest
officials of the insurgent junta to-
day were accompanied by sensa-
tional reports from inSurgent
sources that negotiations for sur
render of unspecified important
units Of the loyalist army were
being carried on.
Gen. Francisco Franco con-
ferred at Avila, insurgent field
headquarters, with Gen. Emilio
Mola and General Saliquet, and
then left for, Salamanca, the in.
surgent base. Rumors-described
in Madridas as insurgent propa-
ganda-said Col. Jose Mangada,
chief of the Madrid defense coun-
ell, had sent offers Of partial sur
render to the insurgents. These
offers, said the reports, were car
ried by government militiamen
who penetrated the insurgent lines
near Toledo.
Fighting FerOci0us
Talk of surrender was not borne
out in the continued ferocity Of
the fighting.
Sixty dead insurgents were found
in the ruins of fort at Villaverde,
south of the capital, after it was
blown up by loyalist dynamiters,
Madrid asserted. A trench held
by insurgent civil guards in the
same sector was destroyed.
An insurgent attack in the
Moncloa sector was repulsed, Ma
drid announced.
On the other hand, insurgents
have taken advantage of rivalry in
Catalonia between moderate rad
icals and extremists, and have
launched a drive around Huesca.
At several points along the Huesca-
Saragossa front the loyalist Cata-
lonians have been driven eastward.
Newsmen Dodge Shells
Three direct insurgent artillery
hits on the History telephone build
ing in Madrid, nearly hitting a
group of reporters and news cen
sors, attracted less attention in
Madrid than the annual govern
ment Christmas lottery, held this
year in Valencia for the first time.
The government won in the
draw itself, for all tickets not sold
are drawn for the government.
Two of the first prizes, of 15,O00,-
900 pesetas each, and two second
prizes, 100000 pesetas each, went
to the government.
In a thrilling air battle over
Madrid, two insurgent airplanes
were brought down. One loyalist
fighter was hit, but managed to
land safely. A third insurgent
plane dropped propaganda leaf
lets on Madrid.
Power Plant Seized
Denying foreign charges that
Italy had taken virtual possession
of the Balearic Islands, Gen.
Queipo de Llano, chief insurgent
spokesman, said in his broadcast
from Seville today:
1--WE shall never give away a
yard Of our national soil, not
even in return for the sympathy
of other nationalist countries"
Gen. de Llano claimed capture
by the insurgents of FL Carpio, site
of SPANS largest electric power
plant.

farmers wives, drab and tired and un-

endless series of tasks to be done and
things to worry about. You saw wom-
en- you had known all your life who
suddenly looked at you shyiy and i'm
personally and told you their symp-
toms.
In New York you were merely the
fashionable DR.. Barry's handsome
young assistant. You knew you were
handsome because so many women told
you so. They weren't drab farmers
wives or women you had known all your
life. They were beautiful, hard-eyed.
Shapely women who told you their
cynical laughter and insisted that you
look at their bodies through sheer

at you while you placed your stetho-
scope over their hearts. Women who
wondered what an attractive young
man like you does with his evenings.

Sometimes it made him think he was
back in Chenille and hurrying out on

forget. But that was all right, too.

Counsels of Moderation

1t is both interesting and, to most folk, surprising,
to see the advertisements OF one of the largest firms OF
whiskey dsstillers counselng moderation in drinking.
Yet, on analysis, it appears to be the most intelligent
move which the liquor business has ever made.
Most folk will agree that drinking cannot be pre-
vented by law. The unfortunate experiment of national
prohibition provided proof enough of that. Almost every
nation has made efforts by political methods to control
the traffr in hard liquor" but nowhere has any means
been found effective exrept that Of education in tenn
perance. America has always been a whiskey-drinking
nation. The manufacture and sale of whiskey has again
been legalzed, except in a few states which, are still
dry" by popular vote. 1t is not the moderate use of
whiskey which lies at the root of the still active agita-
ton for prohibition; it is Incorporate and excessive
drinking.
1t is, therefore, a highly Intelligent move on the part
of the dStillers to join in the counsels of moderation, to
warn their customers against excessive indulgence. They
want to continue in business, but not at the price of
making drunkard.
Their situation is comparable, in some respects, to
that of the builders of automobiles. The increasing num-
Der of cars, with greater engine power and vastly higher
possible speeds, has been accompanied by an appalling
toll of human lives from motor accidents. Now the auto
mobile makers are giving vigorous support to the cam
paign for moderation in driving, just as the whiskey
makers are counseling moderation in drinking.
When alls said and done, the problem of temper
ance, whether in driving, in drinking, in eating or
in any other human activity is an Individual one. Every
man must solve it for himself. There is no mass method
of making people behave according to a fixed rule or act
at all times in their own best interests. Bw every effort,
such as this one of the whiskey distilers, to instil the
principle of moderation in all things, IS a step in the d-
rection of sanity and human progress.

Revolution in Europe

The turmoil in which the whole world, more or less,
has been involved for twenty years and more, finds its
latest manifestation in the bloody revolution now in
progress in Spain From all reports, France, too, seems to
be on the verge of a popular uprising.
It is difficult, from this distance, to place a proper
value upon the news that the cables bring. We have
nothing in our American temperament, our methods of
life or our political system, with which to compare the
situation in Europe.
Apparently the conflict in Spain is between two con-
hicting concepts of government, neither of which has
gained much Roadway in America. 1t seems to be a
struggle between Communism and Fascism, complicated
by strong anti church feeling and by an effort of the
monarchists to bring about a situation that would result
in King Alfonso being restored to the throne.
The only thing certain is that armed forces on both
sides are killing people by thousands, and looalng the
churches and the big estates of the nobility. The situa-
ton has been hkened to that which existed in Italy be-
fore Mussolni took charge; with the exception that no
store order.
Spain differs from most other nations in that it has
no great commercial middle class. Its population consists
on the one hand Of laborers and peasants and on the 9TH
er Of the so-called upper class Of mobiles and grandees
The upper class supplies the officers of the army, but the
rank and file come from the lower class, and the present
situation began with a revolt of soldiers against their Of
6cers>
1t is possible that the other European nations, par
tcularly Great Britain, may seize this opportunity to
step in and "pacify" Spain 1t is hardly likely that any of
SPANS ~neighbors wills be happy to see a new Fascsm or
a new Communist nation develop so close to them.

HANDLE SUMMER FOODS WITH
CARE

Disease germs have three avenues
of entrance into the human system.
They may be inhaled, swallowed, or
may get through scatched or incised
wounds of the skin.
In warm weather, when most of our
houses are wide open, the danger Of
inhaled germs is practically nil. Pure
air is a wonderful disinfectant, capable,
excep against the tuberculosis germ,
which should be guarded against at all
seasons.
Most acquired infections in summer,
are of the digestive tract; the bacteria
are swallowed with food or water. We
should, therefore, be discrimirative at
this season. Edibles taken raw, must
be scupulously clean, and thoroughly
masticated. Fruits should be ripe, fresh,
and free from punctures by twigs or
specks of decay. Don't give the child
a banana that is green, or part-ripened,

Good Sports

The American people have one saving grace when it
comes to politics. During a campaign they take their pol
itpcs very serious. They are strenuously active as long as
the campaign lasts and often some ugly thirgs are said
by overenthusiasts, which in many countries would lead
to riots ad death The saving grace here lies in the fact
that when the contest is over the American people have
the faculty of forgetting the strife and discriminating ac-
cusations of the heated period and accept the result
gracefully and without malice.-Flathead Monitor.
