PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND’S OLDEST MUSIC HOUSE ESTABLISHED 186s

Late in the afternoon we set forth with Weybum as our destin- ation. It rained a great deal of the time but not heavily. Just as it was clearing we came upon a truck, loaded with oil. It was stopped on the road. We investigated and found that the highway was ﬂooded for at least half a mile. 'I‘wo cars were already ﬂoundering in its depths. The occupants of these two cars were scheduled to provide the music It a dance that night. The ﬁrst car passed the flooded area. without

to the ditch. The water was now almost up to the tOp wire of the fence on the low ground. The first car returned to aid number two, pulled it out backwards, turned in the water and ran into the ditch. 'I'heire it stayed. We could see the men wading around in water past their knees. But all efforts were futile.

_ Meanwhile trailie waspiling up at both ends of the ﬂooded area. The rain had ceased. The highway sup- erintendent and his men came to the rescue. The water had washed out the railroad and was pouring through in two places. The section men could be seen hurrying along with their red flags. The water hav- ing found an outlet was slowly lowering on the grade but the deep iiftchm could not be seen, all other roads not being gravelled were rendered impassable by the rain. The Guperintendaht fearing the grade would be washed out hurried the traffic along. One of the men did his best to pilot the cars across. He stood upon the running board. lust as they thought the danger paged the car skidded into the

The superintendent took the women and children of! the stranded cars and drove them into town. He sent a derrick out to rescue the unfortunate can. Perhaps the mu- sicians got there that night after all.

The section men filled a hundred bags with sand and placed them in the washout under the rall- road track to form a foundation on which to build a structure strong

when we reached the town we learned there had been a terrible hail storm accompanied by heavy wind and a cloud burst. It was the worst storm that had ever been seen in that country. Hundreds of windows were broken in the tow-n of Weyburn, and car tOpS were torn to pieces by the hail and wind. The storm swept teh country from Wey- burn to Regina while we were on the road between these l/wo places. But owing to it having taken a more direct route than we did, we were all unconscious of its fury. It was not until we reached town that we learned of our narrow escape from the hurricane.

It rained steadily all that night and the next day till noon. We spent the day in town hoping it would be better travelling later on and water lay everywhere. A big truck wac down in the mud on a side street. The idle oi the town gathered to give advice and after a strenuous effort the vehicle was raised.

There was some dimculty in es-' tablishing Peter's claim; but in the end everything worked out satis- factorily, and he was one of the happiest boys on earth.

"Wonderful how it happened," he used to say afterward. “If the Smith's hadn't taken me from the Home I'd never have known a thing about it. But I guess things like that don't just happen, they're planned.’

Spains Famous Elastic After-Luncheon Hour

The new regime in Spain has made the afternoon siesta apply so widely that even the tobacco shops now close for two hours in the mid- dle of the day.

Madrid in the after-luncheon

hour is like the famous "Deserted Village." for the hour is the most‘ elastic in Europe, lasting never| less than two hours and more often I three or four.

Most business houses open be- tween D a. m. and 10 a. m.. and close down for at least three hours in sununer. generally from 1:30 p.m.‘ Ito 4:90 p.m. But Spain being what

it is, that does not mean that the [employee get back at 4:30. They , generally arrive about 4:40 and give ‘themselves a few minutes to get m-lly going. Krid closing time i comes at s p. m.

to 1:30 p.m. and then take four hours for luncheon and the after-

p.m. and close at 8:30 p.m. Government employcs. who make up a large part of Madrid's popula-

tion, have their working hours ar- ranged ‘so that the habit of taking an afternoon nap is not interfered with. Oiiically they are supposed to work from 8 am, to 2 p.m. but in the Ministry of Firlance, the strict- est of all, the hours are 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. The Ministry o! Agricul- ture's hours are from 10 to 2.

In many other offices the general run of employes begin their work- ing hours about l1 a. m. They usu- ally start with a leisurely perusal of the morning newspaper.

Towards 1:30 p.m. they begin looking for their hats and prepar- ing for the luncheon appetizer. The rest of the day is free, except in a very limited number of ceses.

Many Government employes, after having done their day's “work" form 11 to 1:30, go to out- side jobs during the late hours oi‘ the day. A large percentage of newspaper employcs are in Govern-

ment offices in the mornings.

Life in Madrid is virtually at a standstill from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., so there is plenty of time for everybody to go home to lunch, have a. siesta, linger over a drink and a cup of coffee in a cafe, and

still be back in time for work. From noon, t0 3 p.m. is, in fact, known as "midday."

And, in Spain, there is always another day tomorrow.

ODD HOUSEHOLD IS REVEAL- ED

RACINE. Wis., July 20-A young mother, her two children, her for- mer husband and his fiancee are members of what is probably R-a- cines most unusual household.

Mrs. Linda Beagle, 2'7, today told how she obtained a. divorce June 22 that her husband might be free

to wed again. Jay Beckie. 32, a

machinist. remained at the home so the money he paid for roomand board would augment the $30 a month he paid alimony.

Miss Lydia Weber, N, the fian- cee, was invited to enter the housz hold when she lost her job.

The two children are Doris, elgh and Richard six.

"We all live together-but why not?" Mrs. Beegle asked. “My ex- husbandb alimony is not much t4 live on. So he pays the board rmc room. We are friends-not such good friends, I'm afraid, because i' takes longer for one's pride to die than for love to die."

The wedding will be as soon a: the sate law allows, next June 22 Miss Weber said.

"Perhaps the best contribution A

nation can make to world rehabili- tation is to put its own house in order."—Bainbridge Colby.
