 The new San Diego is a modern town. The Spanish padres have moldered into dust the Indians have passed away tine Spanish soldiers silver spurs no longer jingle at the mission gates. But the bright sunshine. the balmy air, the spac- ious harbor and the teeming soil-these things could not be taken from the land. The coming of the Gringo has made these things more useful and has speeded prog ress so that a thriving city has replaced the sleepy mission, and the wheels of industry revolve where then the Indian woman ground her corn and acorns in a stone metate.

SAN DIEGO IS RENOWNED
 FOR ITS SCENIC BEAUTY

San Diego, Cal, April 15.-This city of San Diego where the greatest naval event in the history of the Pacific ocean is taking place, is the oldest town in Cal ifornia and was the cradle of caucasian civilization on the western coast of this continent-the Plymouth Rock of the Pa cific. Here Cabrllo first planted the flag of Spain in 1542-just 50 years after the discovery of America by Columbus. Here, also was founded the first of the Span ish missions by Padre Junipero Serra in 1769. The ruins of this mission still en- dure, preserved as a relic of historic in- terest Here are the ruins of the tunnel built by the mission priests to convey wa ter from the hills to the valley-the first attempt at irrigation, which Is the prime factor in this regions present prosperity.
 The settlement grew slowly under Span ish rule, and equally as slowly under Mexican domination after the Mexicans had thrown off the Spanish yoke. Even after the American acquisition there was but slow growth until irrigation made fer tile the semi-arid region which com prises most of country roundabout When men brought water from the mountains, the land changed it's dusty coat for gar ments of green and gold; the white sails of ships from every sea gladdened the harbor, and the population trebled. It has doubled within the last three years. and is now growing at a rate which will soon cast the census figures in the shade. Its commercial importance is considerable, and the opening of the Panama canal will make the city metropolis; for this will be the first American port for all vessels bound northward from the canals western end.
 San Diego has the most equable climate in the world. Only twice in 40 years has the thermometer fallen to S2 degrees Fahrenheit. and it has never gone lower than 32. The extreme limit of warmth is 90 degrees, and that has been reached only twice In 40 years. And this is not the humid heat of the east, where even 80 degrees makes men drop in the streets. but a genial mixture of the warm Sdry, desert air with the delight of the cool sea breezes. Ninety degrees of tenn iberature here is more tolerable than 75 degrees in Boston, New York or Phila- delphia The climate of San Diego more closely resembles that of Naples, Italy, than any other in the world.
 San Diego is called the best show town of it's size on this continent. It supports seven theatres, running seven

of their motor cars, anghting from their carriages, hundreds and thousands of peo- pie who will be on the street Saturday will be tagged unless the earth opens and swallows them up before pretty of whom will be armed with tags some girl gets in her work Every person who has tag pinned on him is expected to contribute any amount from cents up to s1OO
 In one of the cities where tag day was signaly successful. it was considered a distinction to have the greatest number of tags. One man received 40 tags. and each time he gave a small forfeit from a dime to a dollar.
 In order to make tag day successful in the proper spirit it Is necessary for everyone to enter with great willingness into the occasion. Not only those who will distribute the tags. but those who receive them.
 Cooperation on the part of the entire community will make the day one of the jolliest in Birmingham's history and if thousands of dollars can be raised in this way for one of the greatest philanthro- pies in this city it is not asking too much of anyone to beg that the spirit of the day be met in the way that it deserves, and that those who are tagged will accept 1t good-naturedly.
 An important meeting of the board of control of the Boys club and also of the two chapters will be held this morning at 10:30 o'clock in the club rooms Each matron on the board or a member of either chapter will select a committee of young girls to assist them on tag day.
 The ladies who are interested in mak- ing tag day a great success will be on the streets all day from o'clock until 6.
 Tine public is somewhat prepared for tag day. At all the moving picture shows it has been announced every evening this week. Look out for tag day" is the slogan at the moving picture shows. Everybody is talking it. Those who know about it are enthusiastic. A thousand questions have been asked by the curious. What Is tag day?" is on the lips of hun dreds of people. Nothing has ever aroused so much interest, because it seems a little mysterious. Grown peo- pie, pretty girls, pinning tags on thou sands of pedestrians in the busy streets

 Instead of confetti being thrown pro- miscuously, Birmingham is to have a tag carnival. Tag day will be observed in this city on Saturday. While the newspapers have explained it's significance. it does not seem to be fully understood how the programme of tag day is carried out
 In Atlanta, where tag day was recently observed for the benefit of the Shelter ing Arms, $40OO was raised for this in- stitution, as a result of tag day. Many of the most prominent women of that city took part in its observance and all of Atlanta entered into the spirit of the day Birmingham will be tagged as systemati- cally as was Atlanta.
 Stationed on all the street corners in the down town districts, at the restau- rants and moving picture shows will be scores of pretty girls and women, each thing like ar express tag.
