he moved his family to Lima, Peru, when Henry de Velasco was two years old. Two of Henry de Velasco's broth CTS, Francisco and Eduardo de Velasco. are today prominent in the affairs of Peru.
 The father of Henry de Velasco was once urged to become president, but he chose retirement from public life in stead.
 Another of the kinsmen of this splendidly beautiful girl has won niche in history. This was her. great granduncle. Narcisco Lopez, who was the first white man to raise a free flag in Cuba, in 1860. For his patriotism he paid with his life.
 The Tovars went to Spanish Ameri ca direct from Spain. Miss de Velasco traces her descent from that noble house on the maternal side of her fathers ancestry. Henry de VAlasco's mother was a daughter of the son of Count Tovar whose county in Spain was a district whose chief town lying between two mountains, today remains one of the most picturesque spots to be found in all Europe.
 Miss de Velascos charming person. alitv has made her exceptionally popu- lar in the social life of more than one California city. In Los Angeles she was member of the Theta Sigma so- rority In San Francisco she has taken a prominent part in the social life, be- ing a p1ember of the Entre Nous and L'Amistad cotillions. She is also a member of the Catholic ladies aid so- ciety.
 The contest in which she won the distinction Of being the most beautiful girl in the state noted for the beauty of it's women proved the biggest com petition of it's kind on record. Photo graphs were entered from every sec 1 ton of the state, coming from hamlets and ranches lying two and three days !

HOW SOME PARTS OF THE EARTH
 GOT THEIR NAMES.

Asia, the oldest continent known to man, gets its name from the Sanskrit word "Ushas,' meaning land of the dawn" Europe is derived from the Greek words meaning the broad face of the earth Some scholars, how
 ever, believe that the name comes from a Hebrew word meaning 'the land of the setting sun. The ancient people of the east knew little of Europe, save that it was the land where the sun set, so they might have called it "The land of the setting sun" AlgierS is a newer

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25-Han to Miss California! The prettiest girl in all the golden state has been discuV- cred by the Portola festival committee. She is Miss Emma de Velasco, native daughter Of the hundreds of photo graphs entered from all parts of Cali fornia in the PortOla S10O prize beauty contest, Miss De Velasco's has been ad- judged the most beautiful. She will be the poster girl of the big festival to be held in San Francisco October 22-25 next, in which the Pacific coast will celebrate the four hundredth anniver sary of the discovery of the Pacific ocean by Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
 The festivals queen will be chosen later
 No filter beauty could be found for the honor of representing the spirit of the west in this celebration, with it's strong Spanish flavor, for Miss de Ve- lasco is the direct descendant of noble Spanish house. Her great great grand father was one of the counts of TOvar who had not little to do with making the glory Of Spain, and her more inn mediate forebears have had a leading part in the history of South America.
 Born in Los Angeles, and eduacted there and at the Santa Monica high school, this Californian girl has lived in San Francisco since 1905. Not only is she beautiful, but she is charming and talented as well. being a musician of note, who has sung at many private concerts She is a business girl too, being private secretary to one of the most important lumber dealers of the Pacific coast.
 Miss de Velasco whose home is at 311O Buchanan street, San Francisco, was born March g. 1888. Her mother, who was Miss Amalia Laglar Leis, is of German extration. In her fathers veins flows the blue blood of Castle.
 Her father, Henry de Velasco, was born in Venezuela, and finished his education at Stonyhurst College. Eng lapd Though a cosmopolite and a globetrotter, he has held California his home for the last thirty years. He served as captain in the war between Peru, Bolivia and Chile in 1S79 winning distinction.

SPECIAL BOND ISSUE
 ELECTION IN DIST. 1
Authority Needed to Make Contracts for Paving As We'll As the
 Pay for Same

A special school bond issue elec- tion will be held today in the Cen tral school, for district number l. for the purpose of having the tax payers express their opinion upon the proposal to issue bonds on the district for the purpose of paving.
 This issue of bonds is placed at $35, 5,0O0 all of which will not be spent at one time. This amount was fixed however so as to cover other paving matters that will come up from time to time in the near future. At pres ent it is desired to pave in front of the Central school building on Center street, but owing to the fact that the board of trustees cannot enter such a contract with the payers until such time as the taxpayers Of the district have expressed them ' selves on it., the election has heen called
 The polls will be open from 9 o'clock in the morning until o'clock
 in the afternoon and all taxpayers in the district are qualified to vote on the proposition
 Because of the iminence of other paving matters the board saw fit to place the amount a>a sufficiently large sum to take care of the com ing propositions. These bonds will be issued as the occasion demands. Under the propositions of the city council it will soon be necessary to pave around the other three sides of the Central school building and money as well as authority to sign the contract for the work will be needed when the time comes. rms is the reason for placing the amount larger than is needed immediately.

SPANISH QUEENS
 COSTLY DRESSES
Victoria Eueene Somewhat Extrava
 gant.
(New York Sun.

(\eW Olk Sun
 The Queen of Spain, like her hus band. is very expensive dressed ac- cording to the general standard of European royalty. Her Majesty, in decd. has the reputation of spending more on her dress than the consort of any other reigning European roy alty.
 It is in some ways rather curious that this should be so. for the Queen of Spain was brought up. like all the members of the Battenberg House. in an atmosphere where economy was very strictly, studied.
 As matter of fact. her Majesty, when Princess Ena, had dress all lowance of only $500 per annGm, which even among the by no means extraVa gantly attired ladies of the English Royal family, was regarded as an extremely small allowance, and among them the cleverness in dress ing as well as she did on small sum- was often quoted and talked of.
 But when the Princess became queen she developed decidedly eXpen- sive tastes in the matter of dress, and her dress bills now run into the tens of thousands per annum.
 Her Spanish Majesty purchases practically all her gowns in Paris, and she is beyond question more punctillious about being modishlY at tired than any other royalty. queen Victoria never wears gown that is not absolutely in every detail in ac- cordance with the prevailing mode, rarely wears a gown more than half a dozen times, never has a gown altered and never, at home or abroad, is seen two days in succession in the same costume.
 Her Majesty purchases from 50 to 70 morning and afternoon gowns in the year, and taking the average price of these at $125 each would bring her expenditure on day gowns alone up to $S,150.
 Her expenditure on evening gowns amounts generally to $10,OOO, and sometimes it must exceed that figure
 Queen Victoria of Spain has par ticular fancy for white materials; next to white, mauve seems to be her favorite color, and it predomin- ates in many of her colored dresses.
 The Queen of Spain of course or ders a large number of gowns at time, sometimes as many as fifteen
 
 Her Majesty, however, has an un- derstanding with most of the mod istes whom she patronizes that any gown she does not care about when it is complete may be returned
 Here are some details of a few gowns, With prices, in the Spanish Queens wardrobe:
 An evening gown of ivory lace and chiffon, with petticoat and bodice of painted gauge, $315.
 An afternoon gown of the richest mole colored velvet, trimmed with ermine overdress of mauVe plaited silk, s160. Lace Gown with curirasse bodice in crochet guipure, $210.
 On one occasion a gown that had been returned by the Queen of Spain was shown to a lady who had the reputation of being one of the most smartly attired women in English so- ciety She promptly ordered gown l like it to be made for her and hap pened later to wear it at a garden party at Buckingham Palace, at which the Queen of Spain was pres ent. Her Majesty at once recognized
