C, Headquarters or me National Ueograpmc society, it was in Madrid that the Spanish premier, Senor Dato, was recently assassinated as he was leaving the Hail of Con gress. "While Madrid was not 'made from the whole cloth' as Canberra, the new capita! of Australia Is being fashion ed," says the bulletin, "in a way It as truly an artificial capital. Physically, the rather bleak table-land on which Madrid Is situated had little to com mend It as a site for a capital or it great city save the fact that It is al most the exact geographical center of Spain. But it was political pressure that really pushed the Spanish court to the former Moorish village of Mad jrlt; because Mho jealousy of caeh ' other felt by the Castillnns, the Ara-j gonese, the people of Toledo and Se ville and alt the other groups would not .permit the selection of, an existing city of Importimep when Sriain became united.

U ' Site Like Those tn American West "Picture a bare plateau iu the semi arid .AmBjjcan weBtj.,an insignificant stream several hundred feet below its crest, and Its top and sides deeply carved by erosion, forming 'arroyos' the beds of torrents formed quickly in the rainy season, but usually dry. Madrid, must have been much tike this when the Spanish, ia their fight to redeem the 'Spain irredenta' of those days captured the place from the Moors in 1083. Castlllan monarchs lived in the unimportant Madrid off and on for several hundred years, but it was first made the seat of the gov ernment of united Spain in 1560. It is thus one of the youngest of the great cities and capitals of Europe. "The smallness of Madrid when Philip II made tt the Spanish capital brought about the institution of queer tax from which flowed queer re sults. It was decreed that all persons possessing houses above a certain size must take in as guestB courtiers and nobles who attended the court. The canny Spaniards who carried on any building operations took care to build -houses Just short of the mark. They were ( termed 'spite houses by the courtiers,' and the Madrid of a few hundred years ago J (hpm became full of French Once Held City . "The small houses naturally did not bring beauty to old Madrid. In addi tion the town was poorly cleaned and even in the middle of the eighteenth century had the reputation of being one of the dirtiest capitals in Europe. The Bourbons early In the eighteenth century began to build palaces and public buildingB, however, and thej trench, during the brief hold which they had fn Madrid at the height of Napoleon's power, started a number of improvements. The network of rail roads which covered Spain during the nineteenth century, with Madrid as their focus, gave the capital Its great est impetus. manufacture, trade, wealth and population have come in the wake of the railroads. The population has passed, well beyond the 650,000 mark and is increasing rapidly. Fine streets. fine buildings, and wonderful parks and promenades have transformed the city's appearance In the last half cen tury. In the parks and around the city many trees have been planted. They have done away with the aspect of barrenness and have even mitigated to some extent the severity of the hot summer weather. Ha World Famous Picture Gallery "To the east, less than half a mile from the city's heart, the Puerta del Sol, where ten streets meet is the famous Prado and the 'Paseos,' or pconienades, that extend It to the northward and the southward. These great wide spaces and boulevards with rows of from five to eight trees in their center, form one of the most handsome promenades and 'show streets' in the world. "Across the space of the Prado is the renowned 'Mttreo de Prado' often Itself called merely "The Prado' a picture gallery which houses one of the world's most wonderful collections of the paintings of the masters. It undoubtedly rivals the collection in the Louvre, and is claimed by Span iards to surpass it. The Prado gallery is particularly famous for Its group of the best works of the great Spanish master, Velazquez, who lived and worked in Madrid. Statues to Velaz quez and to other famous Madrilenos, Cervantes, and the Spanish Shakes peare. Caideron de ia Barca, adorn the parks. "A mile or more to the northeast of the Prado across the city's most ex tensive park, 'The Retreat,' is what may be considered the antithesis of the world-famous picture gallery. It is a great circular ampithealro, a some what smaller Roman Colosseum. It Is the 'Plaza de Toros' the bull ring In which 14,000 Madrilenos gather on feast days to see their favorite mata- dores kill bull after bull."

The climax came in a fash ion show which effectively demon, titrated the "survival of the fittest,1, the event was held at Chautau qua Pioneer hail,' on Tuesday afternoon and evening of this week, ami In addition to local residents many altoluie(j from various parts of the vat- ley. The exhibit wits a splendid one. Music lent added charm to the occa sion, as did also the floral environ ment of vernal buds and btossoavi. A smalt admission fee was charged, the proceeds going towards upkeep of the children's playgrounds. .Women not able in state organizations along so cial, educational and economic lines were here, including Mrs; V. C. Hay hurst, of Portland, state .'president of the Parent-Teacher association; iter- tha Davis, of Corvallis, supervisor of home economics and vocational train ing; Mrs. E. C. Hitchcock, correspond ing secretary of the Portland chapter Daughters of the American Revolu tion; and Mrs. Lee Davenport, also of Portland, superintendent of American tzation of Federated clubs, a coterie of bright, well-informed ladles who will herald far and wide the success at tending Ashland's nltie exhibition At a business meeting of the -local Parent-Teacher unit in the afternoon. MrB. Louis Dodge was elected presi dent; Mrs. A, C, Joy.- vice-presi dent of Hawthorne school; Mrs. W. E. Blake, vice president of Junior high school; Mrs. Prescott, secretary. Before adjournment here last Wed nesday evening, the Southern Oregon Presbytery elected HeviiE. W. War rington, of Roseburg, moderator for the ensuing year; Rev. R., Hutchin son, temporary ciertc; itev. it, u. mm son, of Grants Pass, jiermanent clerk. A notable change in the ranks of the ministry was the transfer of Rev. K. P. Lawrence from Klamath Fails to Med ford, J. If. Cooley of that city assur ing the Presbytery that the call had been unanimous and that the Medford congregation were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their pasior-elect. Mr. Lawrence presided at the New Bra conference, activities Incident to con ducting which incorporated discus sions affecting evangelism In the churches, stewardship, world-wide missions, and religious education. Rev. W. O. Forbes, of Seattle, superinten dent of religious education in the northwest, was present at this session of the Presbytery, participating in a discussion relating to Important top ics. Donations to the memorial move ment fund lag. The Intent was to raise the necessary 700 by voluntary con tributions without recourse to any so licitation whatever, in fact it was thought that, with the banks as reposi tories, the amount required would be subscribed in a Bingie day. We might as well disabuse our minds of this glowing prospect, and go to it as of yore. At an rate, the monument has been contracted for, the bond implying that it will be In place by Decoration day, six weeks hence. In the mean time it behooves us to get busy, thru American Legion and other patriotic channels, raising the required amount forthwith. We seem to be able to fi nance almost any other phase of activ ity Implying a liberal financial outlay, and certainly nobody wants to witness a lien existing against a memorial shaft, which tribute of respect repre sents a veneration for the highest pa triotic Ideals.
