WILM~TTE LIFE March 29, 1929 Walter in Hia Spring .· Debut at DaUaa Meet I Rut Walter, captain-elect· of the Northwestern basketball team, will make his first appearance of the sea-· son Saturday with the unive~sity track team at the relays at South Methodist university in Dallas. Walter injured his knee during the basketball season and was unaQle to ~et into condition for the indoor track meets. His specialty is the quartermile in which he holds the conference championship. At Dallas he will run. on the mile or two-mile relay team. Tom Warne, the pole vault sensation, will make his outdoor debut in the same meet and will be out to better the 13 feet 7~ inches world's record he made two weeks ago.

Two little Spaniards tried half an hour yesterday : on the train to ask me something, speaking very loud and gutturally. Finally in despair I handed out my French-English dictionary and after half an hour niore of combined diligence they pointed to a word. I read "copy-book." It finally transpired when they had resorted to the universal language of signs that they v:ondered if I would like some tea. The connection between "copy-hook" and "tea" was obscure but fearing apoplexy I didn't press the question. Barcelona, my first stop, is the Chicago of Spain. A bustling whirring city, yet struggling under the handicap of its tiny streets as a giant struggling under · irritating cords. A little donkey pulling his two-wheeled cart, which with its white hood looming behind him looks like the snail shell he has just walked out of, can hold up · a line of motors. and trucks for half a mile.· Barcelona has much of interestthe fourteenth century palaces with their exquisite stone work and tropical patios, the beautiful and impressive cathedral containing the famous "Christ of the Tnvincible Armada"-but it is· a night in Barcelona which interested me most. Not the conventional "Night in Spain" of the musical comedies, but a far more interesting one which I watched at intervals from my balcony as from a box at the play. During the evening all is movement, life, color. The Spaniards promenade endlessly on their boulevards, talking incessantly their soft explosive language. As midnight comes and goes, life gradually thins out on the boulevards. and the smaller darker streets gather it in. Directly across from my balcony is a tiny gambling place,. set in a hole ~n the wall. Here all mght long three or four men ply their game. The clink of coins, the rattle of dice, a iurious burst of language , silence again. Fewer and fewer people go lv·, the taxis hoot along the streets lea"ing the silence trembling as draperies in the wake of wind. One of the gamblers turn away. To prove that it is Spain, in a voice of purest melody,_ l}e breaks into a song. The others J0111 in, frequently, as if under the director's baton, droning quickly away into silence and the sound of the coins. The stars are brilliant overhead, a dying moon climbs wearily toward the center of the sky. The game goes monotonouslv on. An hour more and the moon has reached its place only to find it has been superceded by the dawn. No taxis now but the market wagons take up the sacred trust of noise. They thunder down the narrO\v streets as locomotives gone mad. Some cocks crow, they are on their way to market so atl unwitting they are greeting their last dawn. The light is stronger. A flock of birds rise up in a great whirl and disappear. The gamblers are tired at last, they turn away. A one-legged news vendor hobbles up excitedly to his post, an old woman in a shawl creeps out under a vast market basket. The pleasures of the night are past, the business of the da~· has begun.
