The grounds are easily reached, and
the buildings are near together The
Canadian, anthropoligical and other
exhibits are of unusual excellence.
Many Of the displays were taken from
San Francisco when the exposition
closed there and may now be seen in
the city by the sea. In the delightful
atmosphere, neither hot nor cold, all
the visitor has to do is to enjoy him
self.
In the Philosophical World
Nearly all who visit San Diego visit
Point Iona, where the international
Philosophical headquarters are situat-
ed. Every afternoon an outdoor mu-
sical program is given followed by
exercises and lecture in the temple.
They call their theosophy a widsom-
religion, and declare that it has ex-
listed from immemorial time. They
believe that the spirit in man is the
only real and permanent part of his
being; the rest Of his nature being
variously compounded. And since de-
cay is incident to all composite things,
everything in man but his spirit is i'm
permanent They also believe that
the universe is one thing and that no
act or thought occurs without the
whole perceiving it. All are therefore
bound together by the tie of brother
hood. The universe is not an aggre-
cation, but whole, and that
worlds appear strictly according to
the laws of evolution They believe
in the cultivation of the spiritual ma
ture and that each spirit is NANTES
tation of the One Spirit-thus a part
of ALL
The young men and women as we'll
as those in charge do practically all
Of the work in the buildings and
grounds. There are hours for study
and recreation and hours for manual
labor. Many live in cottages about
the beautiful grounds and assured the
visitors they were in an ideal atmos-
phere. Point Lone is peninsula
bounded on the one side by the bay
and on the other by the almost bound
less Pacific.
Center of the Playground
Southern California is great play
ground and Los Angeles is the center
of this diversion sought region. Los
Angeles has become a wonderful city.
1t claims population now of more
than half million people and is the
largest city west of ST. Louis Her
parks, theatres, hotels, museums and
sea shore not far away are all to at
tract the traveller. 1t is a city where
pleasure is sought and found. The
cost of living is not high-the only
necessity being reasonable amount
of money to pay for what you pur-
chase. Long Beach, Venice, Pasadena,
San Diego and many other
places are easily reached by automO-
bile, and thousands of pleasure seek
ers' are on the roads all the time The
highways have been covered with as
phalt so they are like city streets.
1t is little wonder, when the climate
and other attractions are considered,
that so many so to Los Angeles and
remain there.
A Glimpse Into Ancient Times
Some years ago an old pitch lake
was discovered at Los Angeles and in
