braved all hardships and dangers in
many lands where the white man is
not known.
Her travels have taken her into
all OF the republics OF South America.
She has traversed the wilderness OF
the Amazon valley; has crossed and
re-crossed the great chain OF the An
des mountains; and has wandered
in the great plains OF Argentina. The
wilds of Africa have called her. as
well as the lure OF ancient Asia.
In her writings she has made a
lasting name; last night at the High
school she proved herself a charming
lecturer on her beloved subject of
travel
When seen by a representative OF
The Intelligencer last evening. she
said that she had little to talk about

MRS. ADAM MS SAYS

NOTED WOMAN EXPLORER GIVES
LECTURE AT HIGH
SCHOOL.
Tells Of Journey Through Peru, over
the Andean Divide and Into
Upper Amazon Forests.

Mrs. Harriet Chalmer Adams, who
enjoys the distinction of being the
greatest of women explorers, lectured
at the High school last evening upon
"Andean Travel and Adventure" With
her first-hand knowledge OF South
America and the conditions of its many
republics. so vital now to the trade OF
Uncle Sam. she urged the teaching Of
the Spanish tongue TO the young men
OF the day.
The business man OF the future, she
pointed out. will be called upon to use
the language of the majority Of the
South American republics more and
more as time goes by. The degrees of
latiture. 40 North and 40 South. she
said. were drawing closer and closer
together in similarity OF interests. She
also said that the ambitious young
man should learn to speak Portuguese,
as this language Is used TO great ex-
tent in Brazil
Mrs. Adams is charming. both in an
pearance and in manner OF address.
She spoke first last evening upon her
early ambition TO travel She told OF
her trip through Southern California
and Mexico TO Panama. where she re-

Beginning the realization OF this re-

Peru. the most ancient land of the
Americas. BY the use Of lantern slides
she illustrated many OF the most inter
esting points in this strange land Of
the lncas. She told of the ancient civ
ilization. old when Babylonia was new.
and described the relics Of that civiH-
zation which have come down TO the
present day. She said that IL was her
belief that the missing link between
the ancient Incas and the peoples Of
Asia has been found. She showed pic
lures In Inca statuary bearing written
characters greatly resembling the an
Client Chinese characters.
Her narrative OF experiences among
the cities OF Peru was interesting and
