What the Buick is to the gasoline world the Milburn Electric, is to that division of motorists who are more occupied with the social capacities of a motor car. So popular has it become in this respect that it often is used by business and professional men in preference to their regular gasoline cars.

LAND IS IN DEMAND IN SPAIN: LANDLORDS HOLD VAST TRACTS SEVILLA, Spain, Dec. 6 "Let us have land," is the constant cry of the Andalusian peasant, repeated often, as he sees his sons forced to emigrate because they are unable to procure possession of a piece, of ground to call their own. This condition, arising from the fact that enormous tract of land are in the hands of noble families who refuse to allow them to be made' productive, is the cause of the frequent agitation among the peasant class. Pascual Carrion, a leading agricultural engineer, in calling attention to the misery among tho peasant?, says no effort has beon made by the gov1' ernlng classes to remedy this condition. He declares 80 to 100 inhabitants could live on and supply their needs from every square kilometer of land in Andalusia. f Official figures show that in the province of Sevilla, there are only 43 persons per kilometer; in Cordoba, 37; in Jaen, 30; while Malaga and Cadiz are 72 per kilometer. The reason given for this meager population is that in the province of Sevilla, 1,00 persons own more than half of the 1,750,000 acres, while in the province of Cordoba CO per oenf of its acreage, amounting to 1,!)50,000 acres, is owned by only 000 persons. Most of these owners are absentees, who rarely visit their properties. Kenor Carrion falls for some such measure as was taken by England in similar circumstances in Ireland, where the English government advanced 200,00.000 during the years from 1912 to 1918 to allow tenant farmers to acquire lands from the big proprietors.
