Catalonia has given q definite lead
along this road. At first sight the
number and variety of its workers
organizations are bewildering and un-
widely, but closer scrutiny shows that
most of them interlock and overlap to
no small degree and that, from ap-
parent chaos and divergent views,
there gradually is being produced

unity. From the outset this process
was facilitated in Catalonia by the

The conclusion cannot be avoided
that the Largo Caballero government
is big step on the road to prole-
tarianization; that Is to say, toward
unity hitherto lacking among Span

Efforts Of the Spanish government to
suppress the Fascist rebellion are ham
pered by three difficulties:
First, lack of unity and absence Of
a single directive force, both in uii-
tary and political Affairs.
Second, the fact that the govern
ment is not only conducting civil
war, but Is trying to steer q popular
mass movement, which, in Catalonia,
for instance, already can be described
as q social revolution and elsewhere
is tending in that direction.

Lord Wilmington recently was in

the Cirque ports by the grand court
of Shepway, writes London cor
respondent in the Chicago Tribune.
To have witnessed the installation
was to have seen the greatest pos
sible muddle of ancient and modern

with notable record CARRIED in all
the finery of uniform that an ad-
miral can boast; "barons" an d
"combarons' dressed in scarlet
cloaks with trimmings of blue and
gold and the arms of the Cirque
ports on the shoulders; others in
black knee breeches and white satin
embroidered waistcoats; still
others in black frock coats and top
hats. All were gathered on Dover
college close for the ceremony. The
old court which had a real service
to perform was held at Shepway
Cross, but this modern one was held
under a marquee, where the lord
warden undertook the duty of main

tanning "the franchises, liberties,
customs and usages of the ports"
The post of the lord warden is to-
day a sinecure. 1t costs the holder
about $400 a year and there are
various titles attached to it which
are more or less meaningless. Even
the "Cinque Ports" is a misnomer,
since there are seven ports-Hast-
ings, Dover, Hythe, Romney, Sand
witch, Rye, and Wincheless.
The mixing of ancient customs
and costumes now meaningless with
those modern elements for which
can be found no ancient pattern is
the result of the Englishman's love
of pageantry and his passion for
the romantic past. Sometimes it

times it is funny.

She retorted: "I'm not count

He turned submissively away;

full of linen.
Nancy, during what followed, had
no sense of dealing with the body of
Dan, whose flesh and blood she
loved. This was an impersonal task
that must be done. She and Mary
Ann stripped off his garments, and

CHAPTER TX

Doctor Breeding, during that in
terminable time while he waited
beside Dan, with Mary Ann facing
him, and Nancy at his left drip
ping ether on the towel, felt him
self helpless as even the stoutest
swimmer must be helpless in the
full sweep of a mighty current. And
when at last he began, he watched
like spectator this conflict between
his will-which desired Dan to die
and his deed. He wished to bungle,
to be inept and clumsy; but de-
spite himself, those 1ong-tralned nm
gers went about their accustomed
tasks, seeking out the hurts that
must be mended, discovering them
infallibly by touch alone.

Wroth Silver

Ever since the year ITO the par
ishes surrounding Knightlow, STREET
ton on Dunsmore, Warwickshire,
have paid Wroth Silver to the Lord
of the Manor on St. Martins day.
Shortly before sunrise the money is
placed in a niche in the remains
of an old stone cross, and then is
collected by the Steward OF the
Manor, according to Tit-Bits Mag
azine. The fees are purely nominal,
ranging from one penny to two shill-
ings and threepence-halfpenny. De-
faulters, however, are dealt with
severely, and have to pay fine
of twenty shillings for every penny,
as well as a white bull with red
ears and a red nose. But there has
been no necessity within living me-
mory to enforce this fine.

| hands lifted, protecting them
against any least contamination. He
said: "You know it's hopeless, Mary
Ann. We're not properly sterile.
Infection"
Nancy, with the can Of ether in
her hand, cried miserably: 81 can't
open this!"
"Stick an ice-pick into it," Mary
Ann commanded. "And-don't touch
anything that we're using after
ward, Nancy. You're not clean now.
Doctor-we'n have to risk infec-
ton" Her voice broke for min
ute in something like a sob. 'For
that matter, there's infection enough
already inside, him. Begin!"
'He's not ready yet"
Mary Ann was white with des-
peration, white with haste. "Dan,"
she cried. His lips moved. "Dan, if
it hurts, lie STILL" she commanded.
"Nancy's going to give you ether
now. Just breathe deeply. You won't
feel it long"
Nancy came with the can, the pun
gent smell of ether preceding her.
"Pour it on the towel, Nancy" Mary
Ann commanded. 'Now lay the tow
ell over his facel" And then, CURLY,
over her shoulder: Ruth, scrub
your hands with soap and water and

afterward. We may need you" To
Doctor Breeding: "Tll assist, do
everything can"
"We'll have an explosion here"
Doctor Breeding muttered. "These
fumes, and the stove"
cts a gas-stove," Mary Ann in
sisted. "Not lighted"
"Coal fire in the water heater"
he insisted.
She said in a still fury: "We've
got to risk somethingl"
Doctor Breeding picked up a
razor-blade from the kettle. It was
still hot enough to burn his fingers,
and he dropped it, with an exclama-
ton.
Careful" Mary Ann cried in a
deep evaporation.
Doctor Breeding steeled himself;
he picked up the blade again. He
looked at his hands.
These hands of his were, miracu-
lousy, steady. He studied them as
though they belonged to some one
else, astonished at their rocklike
firmness. Himself in turmoil, his
body and his soul shaken as by a
tempest, it seemed to him incredi-
BILE that these trained hands of his
should be so still and sure.
Dams chest was heaving, his
breath labored. His face was COW
cred by the towel. The fumes OF
ether filed the kitchen.
They stood in silent group, wait
ing; Doctor Breeding by Dams side,
Mary Ann facing him across the ia
BILE, Nancy at Dams head. Ruth,
holding her scrubbed hands out in
front Of her, white and motionless,
stood near, awaiting any command.
Old Margaret, the cook, bowed her
head, and her lips moved silently.
There was no sound save Dams
long, rafting inhalations; and the
clock licked on the wall.
"He's ready" said Mary Ann.
Doctor Greetings thoughts began
to race. It was moment before
he realized that, at her word, and
without command from his will, his
hands had begun their business
here.

service and never set foot off of his

"Smitty" who, in my reportorial
days on Park Row, was general
roustabout at Andy Horns saloon.
Smitty was born in the shadow
of Brooklyn bridge and grew up
there. He had travelled the various
boroughs, but no matter where he
went was always within the greater
city. Finally he took tour to for
eign parts. He went to visit his
sister, who'd married truck gard

Smitty about the landscape.

HIGHLANDER Beer Has
Proved Very Popular

The Missoula Brewing Company
was the first brewing plant in Mon
tana to market its product upon the
legalization of beer, the first High
lander draught beer reaching the
thirsty Butte public June rs, 1888,
via fast express service on the North
Coast Limited, shipment Of High
lander beer being made to Bertog-
lio-McTaggart, Highlander distribu-
tors for the Butte territory. High
lander met with great favor from
the very start, the principal reasons
for this being that the Missoula
Brewing Company fortunately
opened under its pre-prohibition
management and with foreman in
every department that had been in
its employment since 1906. Since
1898, many vast improvements have
been made in the plant of the Mis-
soula Brewing Company, among
these beng a doubling OF the stor-
age and aging cellars, new two
story bottling house, modern
throughout, a new modern refriger-
alton system, and new modern nat
ural beer gas collecting system. The
Missoula Brewing Company is very
proud of its record of using nothing
but the highest priced brewing ma
terials and at no time using any of
the less expensive brewing substi-
tutes of the modern day. This large
Missoula industry has a payroll ex-
cedeing seventy persons during the
summer months and has been pub
licly acclaimed by the union leaders
of Missoula as the fairest and strong
est union industry in Western Mon
tana.
