Faith ef CUMseoJWho, If he Is honest towards

himself, could say that tbe religionof tils manhood was the same asthat of his childhood, or the reli-gion of his old age the same as thereligion of his manhood? It Is easyto deceive ourselves and to say thatthe most perfect faith Is a child-like faith. Nothing can be truer,and the older we grow the morewe learn to understand the wisdomof a childlike faith. But beforewe can learn that, we have first tolearn another lesson, namely, toput away childish things.

ft Mastery InporUThe question of the dependability

of the United States upon the re-sources of other countries Is a de-batable one. Some authorities claimthat the United States could sup-port Itself for an almost unlimitedtime;'others that the manufacturesof tbe. country would be seriouslyImperiled In the case of a complete,blockade. The United States ob-tains from abroad manufacturingmaterial and tropical foodstuffs.Practically all the coffee, tea andcocoa come from foreign countriesand about one-half, tbe sugar.

THE END OF ENDURANCEFLIGHT8

The refueling flight record set bythe "St. Louis Robin" will put anend to such feats. This fact willnot In any way minimize the honorthat is due Jackson and O'Brine.Their many days in the air willprove the strength of men and mo-tors to go on to a point where thereseems no end. After all that time-In the air the flight even loses someof the spectacular because ot tbesheer monotony and tested endur*ahce. . .

There, is sure to be tried a non-stop refueling flight around theworld, and It is just as sure to besuccessful. The big wonders ot avi-ation are without end. Air trans-portation baa opened a vast fieldfor the daring and for their skin andendurance. Likewise, it has beenmade practical for commerce, andthat Is the great proof of Its suc-cess.

About ten days would be requiredfor a round-the-world non-stop flightat the equator at 100 miles an hour.But the trip could be made in amuch shorter period of time, because we do not think of "around'the world" in terms of equatorialtravel. Then when there is devisedan automatic retueler, the planescan take on gas, oil, food, clean lin-en and the daily paper without both-ering anybody else.

Already the day of "stunt" flyingis about over. Now also will passendurance flights for endurancesake. The world Is ready to acceptaviation as a practical necessity.Hereafter, there will be reasons forlong flights other than tests of menand motors. Hereafter, those whofly will want to go some place andget there for some purpose. Thisis why tbe greatest time in the his-tory of flying has arrived, and whyevery community and every citizenshould be prepared for tbe adjust-ment ln transportation requirementsthat is upon us.

Simmons, engaged hi cheeking op anundipped cattle in connection with theJoint federal and state tick eradica-tion program being carried on. wnsshot to death a short time ago. Sim-mons and three other range riders badcaught some of Person's cattle whichhad not been dipped and were drivingthem to a vat when Intercepted byPerson. The Utter was alleged tohave threatened to kill one of tberange riders, and Simmons Interceded.He wns shot three Onies and died afew hours later. In a dying statementSimmons said that Person opened firewhen be told him he was under ar-rest and that he was shot twice before'••• could fire. Person was uninjured.He declared that Simmons fired first.

Is First Casualty.Person, who was an unsuccessful

candidate for the Arkansas legislature,in 1028, declares that be has been Infavor of the dipping program,'but dip-ping officials declare he baa not dippedany of bis cattle and that he fired atseveral negroes assisting them In dip-ping several days ago.

The death of Simmons Is the firstcasualty In the dipping war, but therehave been numerous other outbreaksIn Miller. Howard and Pike counties.Numerous vats were dynamited in allthree counties when the dipping pro-gram opened. Howard and Pike coun-ty cattlemen sought Injunctions againstthe dippers and held demonstrationparades and secret mats meetings andotherwise opposed the program.

When range riders were sent Intothe counties to check up oh cattlethat had not been dipped and withorders to seize them and forcibly dipthem, a mob of 600 or more Millercounty cnttle owners mnj-ched on thecourthouse and demanded thnt therange riders be recalled and therewere open threats that they would bekilled.

At Nashville, In Howard. county, amob of 300 or.more cattle owners at-tacked a group of range riders en-gaged In dipping cattle, and one wnshurt seriously. One prominent Howardcounty mnn was arrested and Is nowheld under a $2,500 peace bond by thestate and under $10,000 federal bondon charge of Interfering with federalauthorities. His hearing is set forNovember 11.

Riders Are Mobilized.After the mob action at Nashville,

state and federal range riders weremobilized from a large area and dippedmost of the Howard county cattleRumors that federal warrants hrulbeen Issued for several other promi-nent men in Howard county, includingseveral 'state and county officials, ap-parently broke the force of the opno-iltlon. Work of dipping was reported

to be progressing rapidly until tbe kill-ing of Simmons.

During the last few days oppositionhas been renewed and smolderingflames have flared again In Howardcounty with the assault on W. W.Boneycutt, enforcement officer, and 11.P. Aldridge, county supervisor. WillBranch was fined when convicted ofthe assault, in Munclplal court atNnshvllle, but a group of cattle own-ers promptly paid his fine.

Person has been at liberty with nguard appointed . by Sheriff FleetMagee since Simmons died. This leniency on the part of the sheriff tin?aroused the ire of state and. federaldipping officers and federal officialshave Indicated they will take a handIn the prosecution of Person, sincethe range riders are working underjoint supervision of state and federalauthorities.

Soldiers

By ELMO SCOTT WAT8ONVBR since the world beganmen have gone to war and,going, having sung songs.Among savages the singingof war songs was an es-sential part of the prep-•ration for battle, hut inso-called "civilized war-fare." soldiers have lightened cnmpnlgn hardship*or camp life monotony *>ysinging about their officer*their regiments, what the)

hurt to eat and the shelter, or lack ofit. in which rliey slept, ns well as anyiuiiiilM»r of other details of their every-day life.

In , this respect the- soldiers of~t*ieAmerican army, over since there wassuch nn institution, have been no • dif-ferent i troru the soldiers of other nntU'tm. What is a typical American sol-<lit>r song? The answer is: there Isno such thing 1 The. type of song thutwas popular among our soldiers .of oneperiod, the soldiers of another warwould scorn to sing. With but fewexceptions, perhaps, the songs whichwere sung during one war are ail butforgotten by the time unother warcome* along. For the soldier song Is•me of the most ephemeral things Inthe world. . . " • • •

Konnnutely for our national bnllnd-ry. there hug recently been collecleilin one volume' the greuler part of ourMiliiier songs "troin Yankee Doodle toParley Von," which are published un-der the title of "Sound Off!" by the«•.iBino|in|liiin Book corporation of NewYork. The collector of these songs. IsI.lent. Kdwnrd Arthur IMph of theUnited. 'Stales Military . academy atWest Point and two brother officerson rhe academy staff have co-operatedwith, him In producing o piece of workwhich, aside from Its Inherent inter-«« . IIIIK great historic' value. Theyare Lieut. Philip Kgner. teacher ofmusic, who. arranged the music lormany of the songs in the hook, andI .lent. Lawrence Sehick, instructor-indrawing, who made the illustrations.

In the foreword to the hook, PeterR Kyne, n veteran of the Spanish-American und World wars, makes the.following comment: "A soldier song IN.essentially, a song of rhe people, l i tmelody must lie simple, the wordNWilier 'mid or. humorous, and; it musthtive H resounding chorus In whirl,the tone-deaf can join without ftttiof discovery. It la for this reason tint;tiie most popular song of the. Worl iwar was 'All We l>o Is Sign the I'n.vKoll.1 sung to the' tune of "JohnI'.rownV Body.' Then, too, It lent It-s.-ll readily to improvisation. . 1 re-iiicmlicr a ••hief cook I Imil. He buda bellowing baritone and WHS one ofthe funniest m e n . I ever knew. Onu

•••lay. after having passed through threeP.rlilsh rent rumps, this fellow suddenlyrom-ed forth: 'All we dt> is go to rent<iiiii|w—*. A .to.v.itta shout greeted thiso|iemne line. The men knew Insluntlywhut i warn coming and with mlghtvvigor, indeed, did they i-nme In on the.laitt line: 'And we ntver gel a d—d

1776—E9Z9bit of rest!1" His song was a hit!

The oldest American wur ballad, ac-cording to Lieutenant Dolph, wus"Lovewell's Figlit." written about 1723In commemoration of Captain Love-well's victory over the Indians at Pig-wucket on May 8 of that year. Justbefore- the Revolution the Americansfrequently wrote bulluds to expresstheir Ideas about tea and taxation.These ballads, however, were not neur-ly. so popular among the soldier* ofthe Continental army as were song*which dealt with events of the wuritself, such as the famous "Buttle ofthe Kegs." "Moil Anthony Wayne,""Brave Paulding und the Spy."

"Neurly all of these Itevolutlnnurysongs were suaa>to. tunes borrowedfrom the British." says the author."This was natural, for soldier songsnre generally sung to old, well-knowntunes, or to popular music of the day.. . . It was not until many yearsafter the Revolution that we began tohuve u national music of our own."It is interesting to note that the oneoutstanding song of the Revolution,the one which has survived longest Inpopular knowledge und which was thebasis for other 'songs during nil ourwars, down to and Including the Civilwur, wus written originally by a Brit-ish army surgeon. This was the famous"Yankee Doodle."

Here. Is the story of its origin asLieutenant Dolph tells.it: "In the sum-mer or early fall of 17f>8, during theFrench and Indian war. a British armysurgeon. Doctor Richard Shuckburgh.who had spent most of his time InAmericu, was encamped with GeneralAbercronible on ,thc old Van Rensso-laer estate, hear Albany. A numberof provincial troops were mobilizingthere. Their rustic appearance was soludicrous thru Doctor Shuckburgb. whowas quite a wit, wrote a song aboutthem and set it to an old tune whichwe now know ag 'Yankee Doodle.1"

To the men who served in Francea decade ago and sung of "Mudelun.*it may he a surprise to know thut"Madelon" was a Holdier's sweetheartlong before the World war; in proofor that consider this stanza from «soldier song which appeared in ooeof the curliest American songsters andwas probably sung In the War of 1812:

Could you to battle march a wayAnd leave me here complaining?

I'm Hure 't would brenk my heart to stayWhen you are u»ne campnlicnliiK.

Ah. non, non. non!I'uuvre Uad.lnii

Could never leave her lover!Ah. mm, non. nnn!l'auvr« MauVlon

Would wo with ynii nil the world over.

Although the War or 1812 did norproduce ninny soldier songs—mainlybecause the army dldu'i huve much to!boast nhoiii until tieai ihe end of th«war! But there l» one exception tothis, statement anil It is "<>iie genuinesoldier xong tlmi Will live us dinu it*the repuhlh—'The Slur Span:li>d lian-ner.'" For this prnduiiof the inspirit-tiori of a volunteer soldier,Scott Key. IIIIH he<iimc ouranthem and had thrilled million* < r

Americans even though not one out ofa hundred cun sing It all the w«iythrough. '

Unlike the Revolution nnd the Warof 1812, the Mexican wur produced nogreat outstiindlng song which has sur-vived to the present time. In themain, this conflict saw the revival ofthe favorite songs of the two previouswurs mentioned, although the soldiers,both volunteer ami regular, seized up-on Ihe opportunity offered by variousevents In the Mexican cumpnlgtiR tocompose crude songs which were sungto familiar runes.

UK Balearic islands, in theMediterranean off the coast ofSpain, are "IT the beaten pathtoday, but once when thai In-

land sen wiis the center, of worldculture these Isles throbbed with lifeund activity.

There are five main islands In thisSpanish group, and several Islets.They are ruled us u military district,but the mother country bus been wiseenough to recruit the soldiers neededfor discipline from among the Islandera tiieimtelves, thus Insuring u sym-pathetic rale.

Majorca Is the main Island. It is ndelightful spot, not very well knowneven to .S|mnlanls and almost whollymissed by the stream of outside tour-ists thut courses through other partsof the Mediterranean. Tlie Island isalmost squure. about forty miles alongeach side, and lies us though harm-ing by a cord from the eastern endot the Pyrenees by one corner. Thus acorner points In ench of the cardinaldirections, while the sides are exposedto the northeast, the northwest, thesouthwest and the southeast.

Along the northwest side, which,fuces Spain, Is a high mountain rangewhose loftiest peuks, nearly a milehigh, bear patches of snow in winter.But even Iu the summer their tops aregleaming white, for they are of iiiur-hie and the crests of many are devoidof vegetation. The lesser peaks andshoulders are clad in u mantle nfdurk green pines while lower are.groves of ilex and flowering shrubs,on the gentler slopes of this northerncoast und in Its valleys nmn liusplaced vineyards and orange and olive(troves. The whole panorama, sweep-ing from the blue sea through vary-ing greens ro the shining white peaks,makes a picture of Incomparableloveliness.

It is south of the mountains thatMajorca's garden spot is found, andHie fertile plain that sweeps off fromthe root of the range to the hills thatrim the southeastern side of the In-land Is called Just tlittt, the "Huertn."This level region supports many thou-sands or Hcres of almond and apricottrees, and in the spring is a vast senof blossoms. Among the trees gar-dens are cultivated and grass Is grownfor pasturage. The hills that rim theplain have been terraced for centur-ies and on them rise tier lifter tier ofgra|>e vines and olive trees.

Palma Has an Ancient Site.I'nlma. the capital of Majorca, lies

in.a broad hay that indents the south-western side of the island Just south

| of the lii«h mountains. A city has'existed there probably since the days

there is little evidence now of anythingbut Spanish influence. Scatteredabout the city are uuiuerous interest-ing old piiluceg of the leading islandfamilies—one ut least fur almost everystreet. The population is about equalto that of Mobile. Ala., or i'ortlaud.Maine.

Majorca, like the Spanish, main-land, was overrun by the Moors. For•><J0 years they held the island with'alma (then Mallorcu) a flourishing

j dockyard for galleys. In the middle, of the Fourteenth century more than! 30.000 sailors und -MXI vessels were

in the MaJnrcHii service. The Major-can navy constituted one of Christen-dom's chief bulwarks against the rav-ages of the Barbary pirates.

Minorca Looks Vary English.During their prime as merchant

iblppers, the Majorcans were famousus the lending geographers of Eu-rope. They Invented crude but effec-tive Instruments or navigation and•irew the most reliable charts thenknown.

Minorca Is the easternmost anil sec-ond largest of the Italearlc Islundft.No one visiting Majorca or Ivliu. sis-ter Islands, would doubt their Span-ish ownership once he mingled withthe Inhahitnrits or studied the archi-tecture of rhelr buildings.

Bur Minorca, alrhough ruled hy theSpanish king nnd hut 'J7 miles eastof Majorca, differs from Its neighborislands. Kxcept in a few s|tots. Itspeople and Its buildings would fit anKngllsh village outside of London.Owing to early British occupation.Miss Minorca stays at home, whileher Spuuish sisters work side by sidein the lileds with rhelr husbandn;nnd instead of the soft oxhide Span-ish xmidul the Minorca maid weanshoes. And proudly she tells howLord Nelsnn, during the war withFriince. cume to Million. Minorca'scupltal. seized and lived In a man-sion house overlooking Muhon's tineharbor.

In the protected inlets around theisland are smull llshlni; villages,mude spotless by frequent coals ofwhitewash. Back or these villagesthe nulivi-8 raise sutllcient wheat forhome consumption. Wine, olive oil.potatoes, hemp and flux are producedin moderate quantities; melons. |iouie-groniites, figs und almonds are abun-dant; some cattle, sheep und goatsare reured; und were it not for thescarcity of fuel, the lead, copper, unitIron deposits could be profitablyworked. Near Mercuddl there are lineinurbie. limestone and slate quarries.Incidentally Mercudnl Is the ancestralhome of Admiral Farrugut.

In the Klghteenth c-ehtury the Brit-ish built u roail fiiim C'iududela - onthe northwest const to Muhon on thesoutheast coast. Travelers enjoy beau-tiful panoramas where some energeticMliiorcnn has taken pride In nls es-tate, but unkempt spots ure numer-ous. Stone monuments, caves, and his-toric relics have been discovered, butone has to penetrate deep Into thefields and byways to find them. An-cient, wlndow.less .stone structures arefound in the interior. Pottery andother antiquities are frequently un-eurthed by the natives. Scientistscould, perhaps, trace their origin toprehistoric times or to the time whenthe Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans orArabs occupied tlie island. Many, ofthe stone monuments are fulling topieces and some of the pottery am*historic Implements now adorn stonewalls where they were carelesslythrown l>y their finders.

Mahon Lacks Spanish Color. •Minorca .miicl |te expanded four

times Its iiuHirul size and then notmatch the men of Rhode Island.Its population could be housed .inu small: American city. More thanhair of the Majorcans live in Ma-lion, the capital, the most Kngllshspot on the Island. Kroni the' steam-ship, the city has a Spanish aspect,with church belfries tlomiiiuting thepiinorama. But in the streets, whichrise terrace above terrace up thecliff side. Knglish influence prevails.There is little Spanish color. .Shiningbrass fixtures, squure-paiuil windowswith white frames, and unshutteredwindows during the day time nre de-cidedly iin-Spanish.

At the other end of the British-made road, C'liidudeln. while not uaSpanish as Palma, Majorca, Is not asEnglish as Muhon. Like Mahon, itoccupies the Ride or u cliff overlook-ing u tine hurbor. Many of Its build-ings are whitewashed and even' rhenearby rocks me frequently Rivenwhite couts ailing with the houses;but here and there a dnUh of color—pink, blue, green or yellow—nnd anoccasional Iron grill balcony lend aSpanish touch. The easy-going lifeof the l.atln prevuls in ciudadelamore than In Mulion, line of the mootexciting events at fludadela Is thearrival of boats from the other Bale-aric islands or from Barcelona.

Minorca's authentic history beginswith the arrival of Mago. brother ofHannibal. In 210 B. C. He foundedMahon. The Island was the cause of.frequent conflicts between Kuropennsovereigns and the scene of pirateraid* for centuries. Under Britishrale. Minorca prospered from the ear-ly part of the Eighteenth century un-til the Seven Tears' war. The owner-ship of the little Island also was In-volved In the American Revolutionwhen the French and Spanish cap-tured It while England was busy over-seas. 8lxteea years later, at the be-gimlng of. the.- Ions; straggle with •Napoleon, the British again capturedMinorca and It remained British un-til 1802 when, under the Peace efAmiens, It passed to Spain.

Few Dresses CanPlay Many Roles

Interesting Week-End DudsServe for Sports, Semi-

Ing week-ends in the country presentsit rather complex dress problem lie-t-ntiKe of the. many, ways In which peo-ple NIIIIIM* themselves.

One lias to be reudyfor a iimmlnK dip. for un evening lit-fnir, iterhups for luiicliini: on thebench: fcr u ranter HIOIIJJ the bridleputh. for tennis or it round of jtolf.Or, if the scheme is different, it'; inn*be for motorinit, fornml luncheon, tenliidiMirs or iu n garden, or a plucc; Inthe pillery nt the shows ami toiirnu-iimhls. Anil, to make the choice morecomplicated, It is necessary to select«'ln>tlies that may lie packed into snuills|iu<-es nnd yet lie taken out fresh.

I if clothe*' for active sports thestyles ililx season are reasonablyconveniuni for such .occasions,('rocks tor tennis have settled intoone piece luTuirs of some' light niu-turiiil such us tint creiie or sluintung.which nre at once more chip' am*more comfortable than the suits ofyore mmte of llunnels and wool jer-seys. _ The idea comes .from France,

iere: leSKrefnird is puld to the tra-ditional Hjttrily fabrics that nreMiinetinies Imirt; swacper than agree-able;

Limn for Riding Clothes.Linen and heavy cottons are pop-

ular in riding clothes for either sideor cross saddle. Among the conserva-tives n few insist upon tweeds andKriglish goods, though they perish withthe heat, hut others have given cachetto the cool, comfortable habits of linenIn white, khaki, brown and some black.Nothing smarter has been shown Inyears than the new Jodhpurs of whitelinen or pique with n coat in color, orblack. One habit shown is a combina-tion of white suede breeches with acoat of coarse black linen and shirtof white cotton broadcloth. In a novelvariation on this model three materi-als are used, the com being of brownlinen, the breeches of yellow pique;and the skirt of champagne-coloredninon.

The Inevitable swing of the pen-dulum away from the sketchiest In-formality of a few seasons ago, whena sweater and skirt did all day duty,has brought into fashion agnin ntnoreformal luncheon dress. It is now con-sidered in belter taste to change fromthe actual sports frock to one morepretentious in the tailored type, oreven one of softer style. The two-piece 8emltailored suit* of spun silk,washable moire, etnmlne. linen andsome of the new jerseys are chic andsome nre highly original in designanil color scheme.

In a late Paris model n pout olhand blocked blue and white linenis worn with a plain white frock.Another model combines a skirt ofblack etatnine with n short Jacketof black and yellow linen nnd n tuck-in shirt of white crepe.
