Lower California Has Much Fer-;
tile Soil.
Really a Regien of Great Resource*
That Only Await Development, Ac?
cording to Writer In Lea
Angeles Newspaper.
? ??
Lower California Is an expansive
region that ha9 never been well !
known and has long been rolsunder
Itood. Even we of Upper California,
despite our cloae proximity, know
Tittle of the peninsula except its ex?
treme northern part, writes Arthur
Berg, In the Los Angeles Times. Few
of us realize that It Is not an utterly
barren waste; that It is a tropical
country with a salubrious climate and ,
many regions of luxuriant vegetation; I
that Us northern and southern parts
nre utterly tmfilre oae another, and
that rich resource* abound that are
only waiting; to be developed.
DespUe Its Jagged, barren height*
and cactus-clad mesas, which glow in
the -fiery ray* of an un obscured gun,
It was a land rich 1n history when
the timbers of the Mayflower Were yet
irees fn the foreit Once sought in*
jjuarded for her ore* and her jewels,
inks peninsula, which to the Spanish
conqulstadores was an island glitter?
ing In the azure web of romance, a
and for which the aadres gave their
rives In fanatic devotion to the cross, I
tow Ues practically aanottatd, its ro-!
fhance ana1 history forgotten, and Its [
possibilities, if not overlooked, kt least
neglected.
Between 1527 and 1532 Hernando
Cortex sent four expeditions on voy?
ages of discovery up the west, coast
of Mexico, but the first three accom?
plished nothing and the fourth failed
to return. FUrtrily, in 1533, Lower
California wast diicotsred by Xtme
nefc, who anchored In the bay of Santa
Crux (now La Fa?). Later Gort es
himself visited Sirnta Cruz *nd se?
cured a quantity of pearls knd Indian
slaves. In 1539 Francisco d?? TJlloa
sailed up the Gulf of California and
discovered the mouth of the Colorado
river. In spite of this discovery, j
Lower California was known as an !
Island for mtore than 100 years and ap?
peared on European maps as an island
op to as rate no 1748.
All attempts of Spain .to colonlzb
the California per Insul a endet! In dis?
astrous failures until the task was del?
egated to the Jesuits, or Com?
pany of Jesus, In 1697. These Jesuit
missionary priests were possessed of
the tact of the Freuen explorers, the
persistency of the English colonial set?
tlers and the bravery of the American
frontiersman.
t*adre Salvatierra made the first
mission settlement In Lower Cali?
fornia on October 15, 1697, at the bay
of San Bruno, on the east coa?t. For
70 years thereafter the Jesuits con?
trolled the peninsula, and those 70
years represented the era ofXower
Californias greatest activity and
greatest prosperity.
During their sojourn the Jesuits
charted the east coast, explored the
egst and west coasts the islands adja?
cent thereto and ths Interior in a
manner that has never been excelled;
founded 23 missions, of which 14
proved to be successful; formulated a
system of mission Ufa never thereafter
surpassed; not only Instructed the In?
dians In religious matters, hut taught
them many useful arts as well; cul?
tivated ahd planted the arable lands
snd inaugurated a system of Irrigation
Which, had they hfcfcn given time for
a more northerly advance, would have
given UppCr California a marvelous
agtLculturel development early iu the
nineteenth century.
The establishment of the mission in
Upper California was s rauoh easier
task than that which the hardy
Jesuit priests faced and conquered in
Lower California.
Srewn On Cuddling.
At Scarborough, England, during an '
application to the licensing Justice for
cinema licenses, It was stkted that
when the justices visited the Palla?
dium they saw some young couples
cuddling. Mr. Gerald Standing, the
msnager, ssld he had not se*n it. The
chief constable asked him If he know
that locally 42 settees in one part of
the bulldrag which seated two people \
each were known as the "cuddling I
chairs." Mr. Standing said he had not
heard It, and that he had seen no kiss- j
lug and cuddling. The lloense was
grants*1 on the court's being given to
understand that more llghtti would be
Installed and the settees divided to
prevent cuddling.
Believe It or Not.
He wss a stranger to the ways of a
city snd made his way about with dif?
ficulty. He entered a lauge depart?
ment store and was stsndlng near the
elevator when he heard the man di?
recting the running of the elevators
aay: "Take the elevator to the right,
It will take you anywhere."
So the stranger en'ered the elevator
with the assertion : "I wish to go to
the terminal station."
"Take the next car," cam* the quick
rejoinder.
That'* More Than Some Do.
"Whoever told you you could play
golf?" sneered the expert.
??Who? Me?" asked the novice. "Vm
playing Just as well as any of the
others, am I nol?"
'?Why. man alive, you tnok 14
xtrnke? to make tht? first hole! Is
that whet you can* good playing?"

QUICK CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Traveler In Arizona date Variation
With Comparatively Little
Physical Exertion.
Tn climbing; from the Painted desert,
which liea at the loot of San Francisco
mountain in Arizona, to the summit of
that peak, perhaps 2f> miles away, yon
experience a* much change of climate
and scenery and pass through as many
different zones of life as you would In
traveling from southern Son ore to the
region <of Hudson bay.
This Is due to the fact that altltuu* j
has the seme effect on cllmnte as lati?
tude. If you climb S00 feet upward
you have achieved the same change
t)f climate as though you had gone 2 I
degrees north. The result la that a
mountain top In Arizona 12,000 feet !
high above sea level has a climate
like that at the edge of the arctic elf- '
cle. Moreover, many of the same
plants and some of the same hlrda
that live In the subarctic regions are I
found on top of fian fYanelaco peak
?relics of that distant age when moat
of North America was covered by an
Ice cap and had rn arctic climate.
The desert at the foot of San Fran?
cisco peak Is one of the deadest and ,
hottest places on earth. Great areas
of it are without a sprig of vegetation.
There are vsst beds of brightly col- i
ored pebbles gleaming In the sue,
treat barren send fists, ranges of hills
that are stained bright red and blue
with minerals, but show not a touch
et living green. The heit Is terrific |
and Incessant.
Leaving this region in the morning, 1
by noon you find yourself on the moun
tnin slope In an arid region supporting
a low scrubby forest of juniper and
but pine. Two hours later you have ,
entered an entirely different zone, nnd |
are riding through a beautiful open ,
forest of yellow pine, with trees a hun?
dred feet high. Thf* gives way to a
forest of fir^ which ig dense and damp,
with heavy undeJhmsh along the
streams. Here hire's ant* squirrels
abound, and you njnj*VImpse deer and I
bear.
As yon continue upward the timber !
again dwindles In size. You pass
through a region of scrubby spruce, j
such as grows along the Yukon In
Masks, and finally emerge on the tree?
less crest above timberline, where the
climate Is almost arctic end the snow
lies deep In June.
Find Naturai Purple Dye.
A lhellfish exists on the Pacific
cos at of Costa Rica from which a spe?
cially flue purple color Is obtained and
used for dyeing silk thread. A report
received by the department of com?
merce states the discovery of this nat?
ural dye came to light through ao In?
quiry from Guatemala, where some silk
thresd imported from Costa Rica com?
mands a good price.
The dyers, who apparently are lim?
ited to a few qld persons, take the
thread to the shore, where the shell?
fish abound, and dye it there. The per?
son who picks up a shell blows his
breath upon It, whereupon a few drops
of greenish liquid ooze out. This
liquor is collected In an open clam
shell or other small container. After
a sufficient quantity has been collect?
ed the thread is passed through It
The thread soon afterward, on ex?
posure to the sunlight, assumes a beau?
tiful purple color, which Is absolutely
fast.
In ancient days it Is believed this
dye was called "Tyrlan purple," and
was even then so rare that it was re?
served for royalty.
Capital Feels Paper Shortage.
The paper shortage Is making Itself
felt in the post office department,
where the greatest difficulty Is being !
experienced In getting the needed sup- j
plies of stsmped envelopes. Postal
cards, also, are scarce.
A few weeks ago there was discov?
ered a large quantity of the old 3-rent
stamped envelopes, for which there Is
now almost no demand. They are be?
ing sold now for 2 cents apiece, plus
the sma'd charge for the envelope,
with a distinguishing cancellation
mark over the stamp. More recently
the post office department began to
sell a qrantlty of postal cards of the
vintage of about ten years ago. Ths
department is restamplng 400.000.000
2-geut postal cards issued during the
war.
No Rain Sticks for Marines.
Did you ever see a United States
marine in uniform carrying an um?
brella?
Pedestrlang on Sands street, Brook?
lyn, caught a glimpse of a marine re?
cruit carrying a contraband "number
Hhoot" during yesterday's rain storm.
At the very outset of the recruit's
Journey two older marines met him,
took the umbrella away from him,
broke It up before his horrified gaze
and gave him a severe lecture on mil?
itary proprieties.
There Is no service regulation tn
