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"^

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

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.

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

coast guard service, who were com

municipal ferry terminal at South
Ferry. Although the barge tfaft a rep

craft in her old days, an investigation
will be made to ascertain If she was
helped to the bottom by persons who

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.
