c ELDERS TAKE SECOND PLACE Writer Asserts That Spanish Children Are the Worst Spoiled Youngsters on the Earth. ,W. B. Trites. a writer, who recently returned from Spain, was talking in Philadelphia about Spanish ehildreij. j "Spanish children." said he. "are the ! worst spoiled, and Spanish parents the most indulgent, in the world. The din- j J ing and reception rooms of Spanish j hotels swarm with screaming, frolick- ! ing, fighting children, but the Spanish ! guests smile indulgently. A child of 1 six eats as much as it likes of every- j thing on the table, and accompanies | its parents everywhere. At three or i four o'clock in the morning, the usual j hour for Spanish entertainments to come to an end, innumerable tiny tots, exhausted, are bundled into waiting carriages by loving parents. If you ask them why they didn't leave the poor babies at home, they shrug their shoulders and answer, helplessly: . They wanted to come.' **Z suppose the only reason one doesn't see Spanish babies seated at the cafes behind glasses of beer qr whisky is because they prefer their sugary sirups." Mr. Trites smiled. "An English newspaper correspondent," he continued, "strolled through the reception room at the Madrid ho, Id at which I stayed, when a Spanish .< mother said to a friend beside her: " That Englishman doesn't like chil7 dren.' " How do you know? said her friend. " 'Because,' was the reply, *my little Oarlos went into his room yesterday, while he was out, to have a little fun with his typewriter. The child only played with the machine and sharpened the pencils on his desk with a razor that was there. And yet I notice that whenever the Englishman sees Carloi now he looks cross.'" War i Wild Animal* In Banff. Although Banff. Alberta, is a hustling Tillage during the summer and is thronged with tourists, wild deer from the mountains are to be seen daily on * the streets and at night stately elk ? leap from the roads in the bushes to escape approaching automobiles. If a Banff cottager expects to eat his own "garden truck" he builds a deer-proof fence around his patch. The grounds of Brett hospital are open from the treet and the other night a half-dozen mule deer made a raid upon the flower garden. Banff is the capital of Rocky Mountain park, and shooting game within the park limits is forbidden by law.^ The deer, being unmolested, have become very tame, and even a bear now and then pays a friendly visit to the village. Not long ago a bicyclist, speeding down one of the aide streets at night, hit a dark object and turned a somersault or two before he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he looked around and discovered a bear f hitting the trail for home as fast as four legs could c?rry him. Although tame and somewhat obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do not relish too close an acquaintance with man, and hhve proved themselves to be not only picturesque but perfectly safe neighbors. Was Out of Small Change. Chen Chi Fat, wealthy Chinese importer and exporter of Panama and Hongkong, was short of small change when he proceeded to settle for the ' transportation of himself, wife and three children, who had been booked , to leave San Francisco for the Orient on the liner China. He tendered a certified check for $300,000. When General tassenger Agent H. N. Thomas as asked if that was the only sort of change he had, Chen exhibited another check. It was for an even $500,000. Thomas never smiled as he asked if the patron wished gold In change. Chen said this would suit him, but when four men started to pull a big truck ^ from the Bank of Canton, Chen decided that a certificate of deposit would be better. He has made a fortune in Panama hats and is going * to Hongkong to establish a new agency. Find River Jordan Unclean. Bathing in the River Jordan, famous in sacred history, has lost its popular* ity as the result of the discovery by American physicians that it is a dangerous disease germ carrier. One of the first steps taken by the American Red Cross unit reaching that region was an analysis of the river water, Red Cross headquarters here has been informed. It was found laden with the germs of skin diseases and other maladies. There has never before been restrictions on bathing in the stream, regardless of the physical conditions of the bathers, but the revelations of danger lurking in the Jondan's waters caused the local authorities to place a ban on the unrestricted bathing. * Coffins Rented in Moscow. Unofficial advices to the state department state that practically all stores in Moscow have been municipalized as a rule without compensation to owners. Eggs are quoted at 11 rubles and matches at four rubles a box. Individual coffins are reported to be | ' no longer used, but are being rented I out. The mortality ?ate is very high,' with typhus, grip and erysipelas being I especially prevalent and overcrowding the hospitals. Need American Machinery. There is a large demand in Greece j for marine engines of from 50 to 200 j horsepower. In the past much of the ! tuter-Isleud trade was carried on by | small sailing vessels, which were not. equipped with auxiliary motors. ! ammmfp| nci P^,Saj^5BS*5SS*S$S*5658SeS55*SSS*SSS*5 rf^O&\ ^ .
