GENTLE zEpHYRs

T1s such splendid time to take walk Wherever that perchance may be, Down by the riverside Or down by the great big sea- Down by the brookside vale, Or down through Q shady glen, Those gentle 2ephyrs never fail To please the longing souls of men. It was today with my good old friend I went down the road and through the wood. We enjoyed most delightful trend, We just stopped and looked and gazed and stood. Now 1t is very near the close of day, Those gentle zephyrs seem to cheer All those who may be far away, And all who come back here to stay. wen not forget those pleasant hours We 9ondly passed this day. The rocks and woods and trees and flowers Seemed very lovely by the way. But those lovely gentle Sephyfs Wsil blow for many day, Until the frost next winter Drives all the warmth away. So let us thank the God above For 60 many pleasant hours, For we know that He Is love- And wiu send ug sprngtime showers

 Keep on eye on the spanish Fa- lange in Latin Annerical
 That word has gone the rounds of gossip in nearly every group tn- terested in the welfare of the West- ern hemisphere. It has been discount- ed or magnified out Of all true pro- portion SO that today the Falange is reported and reputed to be every- thing from an innocent cultural so- ciety like the English Speaking Un- ion, up through all the grades Of aYlti-C Communism to include the charge that it is e Cer1nan-dorn- mated fifth column assigned to de- stroy Pan- -Americanism through ter- rorisnl.
 PHILOSOPHY VARIES
 IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
 Actually, the Spanish Falange is none of these things and, para doxically, it is all of them. It is one thing in Mexico, another in Chile, still another in Argentina. To that extent 1t Is mysterious and and irdefinable.
 The origin of the Spanish Fa- lange, however, is no great mys- tery and from the information of various authoritative sources in Europe and Latin America the or- ganization, methods and aims of the Talangists can be put together to make a reasonable, rational and accurate record.
 The Spanish Talange came into being before the Spanish civil war as one of Spain's many political parties. It was revolutionary, but right wing reactionary. Roughly, 1t was in inspiration and concep- ton the same breed of cat as Ital- ian FaScislm or German Nazisrn. Franco was not then connected with 1t.
 After Franco began to get help for his revolution from Germany, the Nazis sent down delegate from Berlin. He was General von Faupel, a soldier who had lived in South America for many years. GERMANS REMARK
 OLD IDEAS
 As head of a German military mission von Faupel was more than just 6 good soldier and, backed by the German Government, he brought along with him into Spain certain ideas which, though old Spanish empire in origin, were strictly remade in Germany.
 These ideas stenmed back to the 10th century when there was
