Hoosier Vagabond

EL PASO, Tex. Dec. 19.80 far as I know, there have been heretofore only two mountaintop statues of Christ in the Western Hemisphere—both in South America. The famous “Christ of the Andes” stands on the border between Chile and Argentina. And the marvelous “Corcovado” looks down upon Rio de Janeiro. Now there is one in North America. It was built only this year. Tt is here at El Paso —five miles from downtown, on the brow of a bare, rocky mountain. ‘Christ in stone looks down upon the city, and on across the river to Old Mexico. For many vears the SpanishAmerican population of this border city has been trekking up this mountain—on foot, without shoes, on burros, any old way-—to worship at a little wooden cross set on the peak. That nurtured the idea of erecting a great statue. Pleas were sent out to Catholics all over the country, and eventually enough money came in to pay for part of the mountain and put up the statue. Not the least of the motive, I understand, was to face it toward MeXico, as a rebuke to that country for its treatment of Catholics

Sculptor Urbici Soler was commissioned to do th statue, That was last June. He did most of the carving in Austin. He worked rapidly, and the statue was shipped in pieces, toted up the mountain behind a tractor, and placed on its huge base this fall. The statue is 40 feet high. ‘Cristo Rey” they call it. which means Christ King. Tt is about 12 feet higher than the “Christ of the Andes,” but less than half as tall as Rio's Corcovado. Soler has seen these statues—in fact, he helped design the Andes Christus. 5 » »

A Little Disagreement

Scaffolding still surrounds the Cristo Rey, although it appears to be finished. But Soler says there is about six weeks’ work vet—work of chiseling softness into harsh lines But I don't know whether this will ever be finished. For there is a little tiff Urbici Soler is a Spaniard. He is also a geauine

Our Town

TUCKED AWAY in the archives of Indianapolis is Mayor John Caven's “Belt Road Message,” a document that has all the earmarks of a great State Paper. It was submitted to the Council in 1876, a year mavked by strife, strikes and a fear of future riots. Not until five years later was it generally known around here that God had a hand in building the Belt Railroad. Mr. Caven spilled the secret himself. In 1881, he wrote: “One day in September, 1875, I walked around the old embankment west of White River all the way through weeds higher than my head pushing them aside with my hands. I took off my boots and waded White River and, as the water was deep, I got my clothes wet. Climbing over the partiaily-dbuilt abutment on the east bank to dry, I sat there for two hours consider= ing the question of whether the great work of a road around the city coula be put in motion. It would combine all the benefits sought, not only furnish work for our laboring population during the savage vear of 1876, or at farthest 1877, but also relieve our streets, It would also bring here an immense cattle business and lay down a great taxable property “As I looked over that almost desert-looking river bottom. the outlook for moving in the matter to furnish bread to hungry people a year or two anyway, was gloomy, but T then and there determined that this was the only project that could accomplish the result, and resolved to maka the effort and see what will and good purpose could do,

And Then Things Happened

“Having got somewhat tired out (he was 51 at the time) I put on my boots and started home, and coms menced an investigation of the subject of bread riots and what makes cities—what had made great cities. I examined a great deal of history on the subject of what had made other cities—location, natural advantages, accidents, minerals, manufactures

Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. —The main significance of Vice President Garner's Presidential candidacy is that it serves as a forbidding barrier to a third-term race by President Roosevelt Mr, Garner plainly means to go to a showdown In the nominating convention, holding his delegates to the end. That is another way of saying that Mr. Roosevelt cannot obtain the 1040 nomination without a fight in the convention As a matter of practical politics, Mr. Roosevelt cannot afford to make such a fight. It would be suicidal, A convention fight always is a dirty fight. The candidate may strike a noble pose of holding aloof from all of this, But his agents, his hatchet men, his poison squad, are 60 the job. All convention fights are alike in that, A first-time winner can live down such fights, He must butter many bruised egos, and stitch up the wounds of the defeated rivals. But as it is all part of the game, a family fight, most of the damage is quickly repaired, all is forgiven and everyone pitches

Soler is mad at the Bishop. 1| didn't get to see the Bishop, but I understand he is Jlso mad at Soler.

He says ft spoils the whole mountain-—takes away its freshness and naturalness-—desecrates it. | Urbici Soler and I hiked up the mountain to see the statue.

Wants to Be a Citizen |

Soler is an engaging fellow, and I like him. He wants awfully to become an American citizen, but there is some technical difficulty. 1 hope he makes it. | Although he has all the outward attributes of the conventional foreign artist—the fire, the petulance, | the picturesque speech, even the big head of hair— still T must say that I admire him, because his sculptures actually look like something. | His art education is vast, He studied many Years in Spain, and then he went to Germany, He Was there throughout the World War, in Munich, going peacefully to art school all the time. After the war he went back to Spain, and then in the 20s he went to Buenos Aires and got rich. He lived there several years. He did portrait Airplanes of the U. 8. Marine € sculptures.

Mrs, Aldrich heard that nurses were going to be needed in Puerto Rico and realized that an interpreter would be needed who could speak Spanish, She had learned Spanish and therefore volunteered to go as an interpreter, not as a nurse, but she spent two weeks in a New York City hospital so that she would know what a hospital regimen should be. The other woman, Anna Bouligny from New Orleans, who was also awarded aA medal posthumously, went to do the catering for the hospital, Mrs. Aldrich recalled that she would go to market every morning at 6 o'clock with the cook and the lists of diets necessary and get whatever was needed and then supervise the cooking and serving.
