Lower California U ?** expanat*# | region that ??*v*r b*en w#!l known and has long been misunder stood. Kven we of Upper California, despite our close proximity, knew Itttla of the peninsula except Ita ex treme northern part, wrltea Arthur Berg. In the I a>* Angeles Time*. Few of us realise that It la not an utterly barren waste; that It Is a tropical country with a salubrious climate and many regions of luxuriant vegetation , that Its northern and southern parte lire utterly unlike one another, and that rich resources abound that are only waiting to be developed. Despite Its Jagged, barren heights and cactus clad mesas, w hich glow In the flery rays of an anobscured sun, It was a land rich In history when the timbers of the Mayflower were yet tre^s In the forest. Once sought and guarded for her ores and her Jewels, this peninsula, which to the Spanlah conqulatadores was an lslafcd glitter Ing In the axure web of romance, a land for which the padres gave their llvea In fanatic devotion to the croaa, now lies practically unnoticed, Ita ro mance and history forgotten, and Ita possibilities If not overlooked, at least neglected. Between 1527 and 1032 Hernando Cortes sent four expedltlone on voy ages of discovery up the weRt coast of Mexico, but the first three accom -pllsT^nSfhrny~aTuT fKe fourth failed to return. Finally, In 1R33, , Lower California was discovered by Xitno | ner. who anchored In the bay of Santa I Crux, (now ta Paz). fater Cortes himself visited Santa Cruz and se cured u quantity of pearls and Indian slaves. In 1?W? FranclsCo de Ull.oa Hailed up the Oulf "f California and discoverrd the mouth of the Colorado river. In spite of this discovery, Lower California . was known as an inland for more than 100 years and t\pr peared on EuropeiU* maps as an island up to as lat ?? as v17-IH. All attempts of Spain to colonize the California peninsula ended In dis astrous failures until the task was del egated to the Jesuits, or Com pany of Jesus, In 1097. These Jesuit missionary priests .were possessed of the tact of the French explorers, the persistency of the English colonial set tlers and the bravery of the American frontiersman. Padre Salvatiorra made the first mission settlement In Lower Cali fornia on October 15, 1007. at the hay of San Bruno, on t lie east coast. For 70 years thereafter the Jesuits con trolled the peninsula, and those 70 years represented the era of Lower California's greatest activity and greatest -prosperity. During their sojourn the Jesuits charted the east coast, explored the east and west coasts the islands adja cent thereto and the interior in a manner that has never been excelled; founded 23 missions, of which -314 proved to he successful ; formulated a system of mission life never thereafter surpassed ; not only instructed the In dians In religious matters, but taught them many useful art"* ?* we?? ctrb tlvated and planted the arable lands and Inaugurated a system of irrigation .which, had they been given time for a more northerly advance, would have given Upper California a marv/lous agricultural development early la the ^nineteenth century. The establishment of the mission In Upper California was a much easier task than that which the hardy Jesuit priests faced and conn**?1"^ Lower California. Frown on Cuddling. At Scarborough, England, during au application to the licensing Justice for cinema license*. It was stated that when the Justices visited the Palla dium they saw noibe young couples cuddling. Mr. Herald Standing, the manager, ftnld he had not seen It. The chief constable asked him If ho knew that locally 42 settees In one part of the building which seated two people each were known an -the "cuddling chalra." Mr. Standing said he had not heard It, and that be had seen no kiss ing and cuddling. The license was granted on tho court's being given to understand that more lights would bo installed and the settles divided to prevent cuddling. ?olleve it or Not. He waa a stranger to the ways of a city and made his way about with dif ficulty. He entered a large depart ment store and wan standing near the elevator when he heard the maa di recting the running of the elevator* nay: "Take tho elevator to the rlgfct, It will take you anywhere." So the stranger entered the elevator with the assertion: "I wish te go to i the terminal station." "Take the next rsr," came the quick j rejetnder. That's More Than 8otne Do "Whoever told you you could play j golf?" sneered the expert. "Who? Me?" askedthe novice. "I'm ; playing Just as well as any of the ) o<thers. sm I not?"

HELPED TO WIN GREAT WAR Many Thousanda of Chinese Laborers Took Useful Part in th* Re cent Conflict. A little known but Interesting side light on the World war is the fact that China was represented in the greaj conflict by 150,000 laborers, of whom 100,000 worked with the Eng lish forces, find 50,000. with the French. They were recruited In China from the low or coolle-lubor classes In units of 500 men. During tho early dnys of the war and up to the middle of 1017 they were sent In transports down through the Indian ocean, up, the Red sea and over the Mediterranean sea past Gibraltar to France. But sub marines in the Mediterranean made travel too perilous and the route was changed. The balance of the 300 units of 500 men each were then sent over the Pacific to Vancouver, B. C., wher* the Canadian- Pacific would transfer across ,our continent to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and thence across the Atlaritio to France. Each man's queue had been cut off ! and an identification dtsk, or "brace | let," in army vernacular, placed around j his wrist. ' lie tvas given 60 cents a , day, two-thirds of which was set aside for his family or dependents in China ? more money than he ever knew about .before In a month ? and this proved to be a magnet which drew i thousands upon thousands of coolies j to the recruiting station at Tientsin. Barge, 63 YeSr* Old, Sinks. On old double-deck barge called the Harvest Queen, built in 1857, sank slowly upon the mud alongside th* barge office through failure of her pumps to keep out the flood until re pairs could be made In her leaking sides. She was towed here from Nor ioYn by ?>e co??i g&ttrb cvttsi 7." hattan and was to be used as a tem porary houseboat for the men of the coast guard service, who were com pelled to give up their quarters In the municipal ferry terminal at South Ferry. Although the barge tfaft a rep utation for being ah unusually leaky craft in her old days, an investigation will be made to ascertain If she was helped to the bottom by persons who ; had no wish to he housed aboard af I her. ? New York Tribune. I . Just Like Peacock. Although the American redstart Is ? little bird only five and a half Inches lan if, it has one trait In common with the gorgeously plumed peacock, name ly, that It seems to be very fond of Ita handsome plumage and Is contin ually spreading Its tall feathers, says the American Forestry association, Washington. The male redstart, whos* colors are red, orange and white, doe* not attain the black portion of Its plumage on back, tall and wings until It Is two years old, this part of tha bird during Its early life being strange ly mottled. The female Is grayish, yel law and white. Lazaretto. . The words, lar^retto and lazsr house, meaning a hospital or place for the reception of persons suffering from contagious diseases, and especial ly the leprosy, are derived from the Italian word of like meaning, lazzer etto. All are derived fram Lazarus, the name of tbe poor leper In the par able to be found In the Gospel of St Luke, chapter sixteen. This Is the only case In tlie New Testament where a proper name occurs in a parable. TTie words derived from that proper name show Hie Influence this parable has had on the mind ef Christendom.
