industry. The figures show that
American corporations are the
directive force in slightly more
than 80 percen of SPANS
heavy industry, with particular
control exerted in oil, mining
and metallurgy, electricity,
chemicals and pharmaceuticals,
communications, railroads n d
the automobile industry.
I have touched only briefly on
these aspects of American inter
est in Franco Spain, but the
conclusions are, I believe obvi-
Gus. Spain, which was once
within the orbit of the Hitler
Mussolini forces, is today wholly
within the orbit of the Ameri-
can-British forces, the forces
who are actively working for
war. Spain itself becomes one
of the keys to peace or war.
Indications are, however, that
the peace-loving peoples of the
world, the people who know
that fascism is a contagion, will
not allow the "closer relations"
between us. and Franco Spain
to happen.
Evidence of this determine
ton may be found in the enthu-
siastic participation of millions
of eople in 80 countries
throughout the world where
Free Spain Week is being OBJ
served this week.

Young Philosopher
Observes Trains
Prize Contribution
BY Borboro Thompson, IS
Mckinley Technical High School

Mckinley Technical High School
I was sitting on the fence near
where our street runs into the rail-
road tracks. AS I sat there, large
fast streamliner came roaring down
the tracks and went sailing by. It
made me think. That's the way we
are nowadays. We're fast, speeding
along without looking around us
We'fe Sleek and smart, just like that
'silvery train and we go rushing
down the tracks of life and time
leaving nothing behind but the low
dismal, wall of a whistle.
I had a chance to compare that
train with an old, black, steam en-
CINE that came putting along. 1t
chugged noisily by, showering the
surroundings-and me-with Gin
ders. The engineer waved bright
1y, and the engine gave friendly
toot.
I figure that we all can be like
those trains. We can speed on down
the silver expanse of our lives. We
can become mechanically perfect
and probably 60 fast and far. Yet
when that train was passed, there
was nothing left. The rusty, black
old locomotive left something be-
hind it. Something more than Gin
ders. 1t left pleasant, friendly
warm feeling.
So, like I say, I guess you can be
riding either train!

Boy, IL, Takes Ride
On Lake Michigan
By Bobby Rogers, II
Bethesdo Elementary School

1t was about II am. when I ar
rived in Milwaukee, Wis, with my
father. After dinner a friend of
fathers took me on a tour of the
town. Some of the interesting
things we saw were the Lake Mich
igan shoreline and adjoining parks,
one of the largest metal pipe indus
tries in the world with its research
buildings, and the ZOO.
Soon after supper I took a r.
block walk. We then went to the
water front below Lincoln Park
where the boat Minora was waiting.
Capt. r. H. Knight, harbor master
of the Milwaukee docks, was on
board. Within a short time we were
off.
Our voyage carried us around the
sea wall and light house in Lake
Michigan with a night view of the
sky line. Capt. Knight told me that
1912 boats came into the Milwau-
kee harbor last year. The total of
freight brought in was 8,550,000
tons, which included cars, coal
sand. grain and many other indus
tial products.
The captain let me steer the boat
part way back to the dock which
was great fun.

Have you ever stopped to think
what Gods world is?
Have you ever thought of the wind
in the trees,
When wintry winds blow, or soft
summer breeze?
Have you ever thought of the birds
on high
Singing their songs as the days
go by?
Have you ever thought of the lovely
spring flowers
And gay little children who gather
them in bowers?
Have you ever thought OF long
clear stream
Where everything seems like a
glorious dream?
Have you ever thought of a church
on a hill
Where God in His glory spreads
good as His Will?

Ph0t0srapher-Arthur L. Schoeni
Critic-Henry B. Beville, National
Gallery Of Art.
To convey the illusion Of height
Is extremely difficult in photog-
raphy. In this picture of Sugar
Loaf Mountain we have the peak
of the mountain in the foreground
with tho valley in the distance
below.
The figures In the foreground add
to the feeling Of depth, but the two
strong horizontal lines formed by
the tree limb and the ground have
tendency to lead the eye into the
picture and directly out again, not
affording an opportunity for rest
to enjoy the view. Instead of
emphasizing the feeling Of height,
these lines actually counteract that
illusion.
A few methods are suggested to
overcome these faults in an other
wise good scenic view: Cd If the
camera were changed to a position
excluding the limb of the tree.
greater dominance could be given
the sky and the distant landscape:
or CD more dominance could be
given the foreground eliminating
the conflicting horizontal line of
the tree limb. Also, the introduction

for the tourist. Tourist costs in
France, I have found, are up about
Is per cent over last year; in Italy
about IS per cent-this despite the
radical devaluation of the franc and
the lire in terms of American money.
There are certain exceptions and
mitigating circumstances. In France,
for instance, the price of hotel
rooms is strictly controlled, and
one can get an absolutely first-class
room with private bath in Paris
for about - = day. In fashionable
Cannes I was charged slightly less
than - for . beach-front room in
a de luxe hotel-but in the of sea-
son month of June.
In restaurants, the tourist finds
that the figure on his bill bears
little relationship to the estimate
he has made from the prices shown
on the menu. He finds a cover
charge has been added, even in the
most modest restaurant, and q IS
per cent service charge Che is ex-
pected to leave an additional tip
anyway, and various little charges
for a napkin, for butter, for may
onnaise, and any other little luxury
the self-conscious tourist doesn't
dare refuse when 1t is put on his
table.
Nevertheless, the whole price
which is considerably more than the
average native pays-compares so
favorably with swollen food prices
back home that the American tour
ist accepts the bill without COM
plant. An excellent dinner in q
famed Paris restaurant, including
bottle OF fine wine, costs about
$6. In a restaurant Of compar-
able fame in New York, the cost
would be higher without the wine.
1T is in the luxury shops that
the two-price policy attains its
highest effectiveness. Shopkeepers
can smell an American from the
moment he steps on the thresh-
old and prices 60 up with each
advancing step into the store. II
an American has intimate friends
in France or Italy, he sends them
out to do his shopping and thereby
saves about 40 per cent on his pur-
chases.
Being an old hand at European
travel, have sometimes complained
about American prices being
charged in low-living STANDARD
countries. This evokes such an
guished and endless monologues on
the selfishness Of Americans that
I find it much less trouble to pay
without comment"

Girl, II, Describes
Charm of Hearing
POPS Concert
Prize Contribution
By Mary Jeanne Kreek, II
hornce Mann School

In early June, when I went to
Boston to see my brother gradu-
ate from the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology, I attended
the Boston Pops" concert and it
was far more interesting than l
had anticipated
l had seen the Symphony Con-
cert Hall at the commencement ex-
ercises of M. I. T. The hall has a
first and second balcony built in
shape of a horseshoe 1t is beauti-
fully decorated in green and gold
and is owned and operated by the
Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Even though I had seen the hall
and heard the orchestra, I was not
prepared for the delightful evening
ahead of me. The first floor looked
like a giant tearoom, completely
filled with small green-gold tables
each with five chairs-facing the
orchestra. During the concert
the people on the first floor were
constantly being served iced drinks
sandwiches and other. light re;
freShmentS. The seats in the f1rSt
and second balcony are stationary
but there is a tearoom on each
level. There are two long inter-
missions each evening. s;..>s Be-
The music was even more, enter
tanning than it is over the radio
The orchestra is very free with its
encores and the evening I was there
they replayed the Sabre Dance" at
the enthusiastic request of the audi
ence. The orchestra seemed happy
and the audience seemed very
happy all during the concert.
These concerts are held about
every night in the summer and
the seats are always all sold out
days in advance. l can understand
this because if lived there I would
go back often.
