PREPAREDNESS IN
SUMMER TRAVEL

Plans for summer travel should be
based on the proper apparel with prop
er facilities for packing. Details for
comfort should be the first considera-
ton. A veil insures satisfaction II a
sudden automobile trip Is thrust upon
a guest. A comfortable pair Of walk
ing shoes Is almost essential to a pic
mic day, planned suddenly. Shoes for
comfort should Always be included in
packing for the week end or an extend
ed visit.
A waterproof coat, with all outward
signs Of a motor coat, Is a real treas
ure for the traveller. An umbrella is
also designed for sun or rain and may
be secured in attractive coIors.
Lake visitors need all the equipment
for a o'clock dip. Sun hats and sun
glasses for the beach prevent many
headaches. Summer furs answer their
purpose between dances at lake re-
sorts.
A work box, with thread and but
ton for the stitch in time," u an
emergency safeguard.
A few cases for small articles nee
essary to travel may be made of Gre
tonne or silk. They prevent anxious
moments Of searching when time is
limited.
Stationery, a fountain pen and
stamps occupy small space, but may
be instrumental in reuniting friends.

Scraps of Mexican History.

Something Of the vicissitudes of the life
OF Mexico may be gained from u brief
glance at a chronology Of important
events in the country OF a hundred revo-
buttons. After the subjugation of the AZ
tees by the Spaniards, Spain attempted to
rule the country by enslavlng the natives
and inducing the colonists to marry native
women in order that a new race with Eu-
ropean blood In Il might be established.
Various plans Of government were tried,
and finally the country was named New
Spain and made vice-royalty. Ga viceroys
ruling over It between 1885 and 1921.
Spain's purpose In retaining the country
was chiefly to exploit IT. without regard
for the future OF the natives but the ma
tives were In practically q continuous
state Of rebellion, In 1903 Napoleon shat
tered the military power of Spain and in
cidentally deprived II of the source of its
power over the natives Of Mexico. The ma
tives then had to decide whether they
would follow the usurper, Joseph Bona
parte, the revolutionary junta or the cap
tive king. But a taste for freedom created
a desire for more, and in 1910, under the
priest, Don Miguel Hidalgo, the creoles
rose against what was left OF the power
above them. Thereafter the principal
events were as follows:
1911. Hidalgo was defeated, captured and
executed.
1873 His successor, another priest,
Morelos, proclaimed the independence of
Mexico
1916. Morelos executed.
1921. After six years OF revolution there
was a compromise between Iturbide, a Gre
ole general against the revolutionists and
Guerrero, the leader of the revolution, and
an Independent limited monarchy was de-
cided on. The monopolists refused to abide
by the terms. The viceroy sent a force
against Iturblde. The vtceroy was de-
posed and another was sent who made
peace with Iturbide, recognizing Mexican
Independence. This viceroy died and the
home government repudiated his agree
ment.
1922 The first Mexican congress met.
Santa Anna proclaimed the republic
Iturbide sent a force against him. Itur-
bide proclaimed a monarchy. with himself
emperor.
1sS3 Iturbide betrayed and deported.
He was induced to return and was then

ton, emerged victorious.

Rebuilding the Railroads.

It has been said that almost no public
work lasts more than a generation with
out requiring in some fashion to be re-
constructed; practically, to be replaced
The Erie canal has been rebuilt once a
generation, bigger. There is already talk
Of making the Panama canal a sea level
ditch, even before II Is really completed
as a lock canal The railroads are ever
lastingly in process of rebuilding. Rails
Of 120 pounds to the yard have replaced
those Of 60; the big freight car OF today
would we'll nigh carry a carload of freight
OF the first decades of railroading.
Now comes promise of the greatest
revolution OF all. The convention OF
Master Mechanics Of American Railways
expresses the serious view that universal
electrification will take place soon.
1t would be in the end cheaper, safer,
more rapid and efficient. Then why not ?
II there is real obstacle, ii is. today,

operation. Billions of capital would be
required. 1t must be raised from private

The EIiuht of Youth.

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain:
But where youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And 1t never comes again.
We are stronger, we are better,
Under manhocd's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful Is vanished,
And we sigh for 4 In vain:
We behold II everywhere
On the earth and In the air,
But IL never comes again.

San Francisco and the kindergarten.

Supported by the demands OF indiVid-
ual citizens, Women's clubs, covic
organizations and the daily press, the
school authorities of San Francisco
have recently recommended the estab-
lishment Of 20 additional kindergartens.
This means that when the estimate
they have presented to the proper au-
thorities has been formally approved,
approximately 1000 moro children be-
tween four and six years old in San
Francisco will receive the well rounded
training which the kindergarten gives,
through its play work, songs, games
and stories.
Until recently San Francisco has not
been as advanced as most large cities
Of the United States in providing public
education for children under primary
school age, having but IL kindergartens
publicly supported. This was the more
surprising because 1t had the most
famous Of the early kindergarten phil
anthropies; and for years no other
city had so many or such generously
provided beneficiences Of this kind.
Two factors Of universal interest
stand out in the action Of the San
Francisco school board: The passage
Of a new form Of kindergarten legis-
lation in California three years ago,
and the thorough canvass Of the state,
during the past two years, to arouse
parents and educators to the opportun-
tiles the new law brings.
California now has one Of the best
kindergarten laws In the country. It
says that whenever parents Of 25 chill
dren OF kindergarten age who live
within a mile of az elementary school
want a kindergarten, the way Is open
for them to get on simply by petition
ing the local educational authorities.
1t was not, however, until the law
had been brought to the attention of
the people through systematic effort,
that any marked advantage was reaped
from it's favorable provisions. A num-
Der of agencies contributed to make
the law effective. In 1914 a special COL
laborator Of the United States bureau
of education, who is also a field secre-
tary of the National Kindergarten as
ISOLATION, began cooperating with par
ents and state and local school officials
to bring about the establishment of
the efforts Of citizens within and with
out the schools, the number Of girls and
boys receiving kindergarten instruction
throughout California has practically
doubled since this extension work was
begun.
Los Angeles, which may be taken as
an example, now has 1873 kindergartens.
as compared with "a in 1912. Oakland.
which had only three kindergartens be-
for the law passed. has 80 at the present
time. San Francisco Is the most recent
instance Of a systematic campaign Vt
petitioning resulting in an increase IN
kindergarten facilities.
