 In Death Struggle
 Field Headquarters, Spanish Northern Rebel Army, July 20.-- (UP)--0overnemnt and rebel forces locked in 0 death battle for the passes to madrid, fought in the hills today for the road to the capital.
 The opposing armies were in the vicinity of Buitrago, 4b miles from Madrid. The rebels at that point were through the worst of the moua- tains and well on the easier down. grade to the capital If they could turn back the stubborn government defence.
 Both sides intensified their aerial bombardments to wear down the others morale. Hundreds on both Sides were killed or wounded nH tons of bombs m dgrenadeS poured c rain of death from tho heights Of duadarFama, where the rebels have massed 10000 troops against an even bigger loyal army.
 Writer Arrested
 The United Press correspondent arrived to watch the battle from the 0uadarrramas Heights. The rebels arrested me on the suspicion that I was a spy and I was clappcd into jail for four hours until I proved that was not from Madrid. Civil guards watched mo with guns ct alert during my detention.
 After my release, I saw intensive aerial action. Five planes from Madrid bombed c bridge near Buit- rago, wounding 90 rebels and kill- ing one. Rebels brought down two loyaiist planes in one engagement during which government planes shot down one rebel plane, the oc- cupants of which escaped death despite the bombs poured at them, Wounded men from various enc agreements were speeded to the hospitals in trucks padded with straw and flying the Red Gross flag. The hospitals were mostly schools converted to medical uses.
 The rebel artillery, invisible from the air by . camoufiage of tree branches. fired continually on the attacking airplanes.

In most competitions it has become habit to remark
to the losers "well never mind, we can't all win
Out Griffith Stadium today there is being concluded
a competition in which ALL THE PARTICIPANTS
WIN-the annual company competitive drill of the
Washington High School Cadets.
Some of the companies and of the individual
participants will march off the field this evening bearing
flags medals, or other visible tokens of honor.
But all of the approximately 1900 youths UiU
march back to their schools after the drill NTH the
consciousness that each has IUOn an individual
UictOry.
Each has accomplished something in the long and
firing afternoons of drilling throughout the school year
Each knows that he has done something for himself,
for his school, for his city and for his country during
the hours that he has subjected himself to his own dis
cplne and to the discipline of his comrades and pals
Washington city is justly proud of the High
School Cadet Corps
For nearly fifty years the youths of the cys high
schools have banded together in this military organiza-
tion to train themselves in military drill and i'm
portany to train themselves in the mental discipline
which the corps maintains.
By now the corps has become nationally and interna-
tionay famous its alumni having spread its traditions
far and wide
Those traditions once more are being exemplifed
the competitive field.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THEM IS
THAT NOBODY IN THE CORPS CAN LOSE.

Article I of our Constitution
provides that a Representative
must live in the State but not
necessarily in the district from
which he is chosen.
However, many State laws and
the custom in practically all
States require that a Represen.
tative live in the Confessional
district from which he is elected.
1t is thought that only in this
way can he be sufficiently ia
miliar with local conditions to
capably represent his constitu,

$50 miles without a ham. to set a
sail or steer a course.
Everything aboard ship was in
apple pie order. Mrs. Briggs sew.
ing was neatly arranged in the
cabin. The few valuableS of the
captain were untouched and the
entire lack of disorder proved con-
clusivelv that there was neither
mutiny nor riot when the ten per
sons left the Marie Celeste.
The English briggs Captain
Morehouse put prize crew
aboard the ship and took her to
Gibraltar. The English authori-
ties investigated and the Ameri-
can owner crossed the ocean to
do some investigation of his own.
SEA ROMANCES
The explanation arrived at by
these Seafaring men, an explana-
ton which to Mr.. McFee is as
simple and as satisfactory as any,
one might wish, was that Captain
Briggs had abandoned ship pre-
maturely owing to some slight
leakage in the alcohol drums
which made up his cargo. The
deduction was that some flow of
fumes or gas from these gave rise
to an exaggerated danger. There
upon the company of 10 from the
Marie Celeste put off into the
ships yawl to be drowned in some
way, most likely on the shores of
a volcanic island in the Azores.
But why should an imaginative
world accept such simple,
straightforward story from men
who were on the scene almost i'm
mediately after the Marie Celeste
was discovered? There is no rea-
son.
We would rather read and half
believe the stories they tell us Of
how a shark overturned the Marie
Celeste. how the captain went
mad when his wife died or how
it was plain case of piracy
arranged beforehand in New York
OF such stuffs are sea romances
made.

PORTUGAL

Portugal is fast coming into its
own as an ideal place to visit.
The English are especially fond
of Portugal, particularly the beau
tiful coastal resort of Estoril which
they have been introducing to
their friends across the Atlantic.
Here is a country that is glori-
ously beautiful. one that blends
the modern with the old. where
living is economical and people
are gracefully and naturally cour-
teouS. The charms of Estoril are
unknown to most travellers. yet
Estoril is far more beautiful and
worthwhile than the Riviera. Be-
sides, the climate is infinitely
nicer.
1t is about an hour by motor
from Lisbon to Estoril. or about
half an hour by train. Roads.

lovely little villas set in rare tropi-
cal gardens. And by the way. such
a villa can be rented for a ridicu-
lous sum. while splendid servants
are equally reasonable to hire.
Good roads, fine hotels and
surprisingly efficient telephone
service make life pleasant in this
part of the Iberian peninsula. At
Estoril there are rows and rows of
Moorish tents. instead of cabanas.
There is splendid casino and the
scenery is superb.
A LOVELY PORT
Near Estoril is a lovely. little
port, Cascaca, distinguished by its
quantity shaped cliffs and lovely
little houses. Not far away is the
famous town of Cintra, call by
many great writer's and artists the
most beautiful little own in Eu-
rope. It's ancient palace. with
