Fate of Towns Unknown.

Nothing was known as to the fate
Of the towns of San Luis Rey and
Oceanside, in the path of the San Luis
Rey river, but if the flood was of the
reported magnitude it seemed impos-
sible that the former, with it's ancient
Franciscan mission, could have escap-
ed humiliation.
Oceanside is summer resort with
two good-sized hotels and a popula-
ton of about 1000. The San Luis Rey
valley contains one of the great Miller
and Lux cattle ranches, which dot the
state for ZOO miles and are known to
cattlemen throughout the world.
Sea Route Only Open Way.
Railways, highways, telephone, tele.
graph-all ordinary means of commu-
nication and relief were gone, with no
prospect of early recovery. Only the
sea route remained and from it aid be.
gan to come. An expedition from the
United States warships in San Diego
bay was started in launches and bar
ges for the Otay valley.

Killed by Own Invention.

One man gave up his life In the
search for a new explosive few
years ago. He was a scientist named
Wartenberger. He had spent years
of his life in the midst of awful perils
in search Of new explosive. He
found one at last which the expert
ments of the United States govern
ment experts satisfied them was even
more powerful than dynamite. The
government offered Wartenberger ST.
100000 for his invention, providing he
could perfect a method of firing the
fearful stuff by means of electricity
instead Of a fuse. While he was en-
gagged in these experiment an explo
sion occurred which killed the urfov
tunate inventor.

Higher Home Efficiency.

A revolution is going on in the
homes of America. It is being brought
about by the study of such subjects
as health, home nursing, child well
fare, foods and food values, textiles
and the making of clothing, the FAM
lily budget and household manage
ment. The outcome will be better
health, and greater comfort and happi-
ness for all at less expense. Because
there is demand for such instSuc-
ton. and because the ends sought are
so desirable, schools and colleges Of
agriculture all over the country are
offering short sessions for the study
of the subjects named.
