Eight TONI tom beaters then followed

was 200 feet in length, and was manipu-

paper mache, suitably painted and deco

represent the scales, the presentmeut
was sufficiently realistic.
To the Chinese the appearance of the
dragon is highly suggestive. 1t is the
representation of that invisible power
that can overcome evil. Whenever apy
calamity overcomes district or city
then is the dragon brought out to chase
away the evil that is bringing on disso-

Before her majesty the dragon
writhed and twisted and reared his

neck indicated none other than peaceful
intentions.

had the distinctive appearance per-
fectly familiar to everyone. In ancient
mythology Minerva was the Goddess OF
Wisdom. War and all the liberal arts.
In dispute with Neptune an appeal
was taken to the supreme tribunal, and
it was decided the award should be
given to the one who should give to the
earth the most useful present. Nep-
tune struck the ground with his trident
and horse sprang forth, but Minerva
produced the olive, and obtained the
victory by the assent of the assembled
gods, who decided that the olive. as the
emblem of peace, is far preferable to the
horse, the symbol of war and aggres-
sion. Very suitably, then, California
led in the parade and Neptune was rele-
gated to second place.
Perhaps, however, in the fire depart
ment was seen the most perfect eXem-

which is the desire of the most advanced
