Francisco, one of the beauty spots Of
the world. His browning achievement
at the Panama-Pacifc International
exposition was the stately Avenue of
Palms which he built by transplanting
palms (soil, roots and ally from gar
dens in many nearby bay cities.
For half a mile, the avenue vas Dor
dered by n double row of California
fan palms and Canary island date
palms, ranging in height from 10 to 25
feet. They were ~festooned with vines,
and poisoning nasturtiums and gera-
NUNS and ferns were planted in the in
terstices of the roughened trunks and
looked as If they had been there al
ways. Some of the palms were Is
years old, and since the close of the
great fair they have again been trans
planted to permanent locations along
the roadways in the Preside, Uncle
Sans great military reservation.
One of the most remarkable collec-
lions of outdoor palms in California
is to be found in the Gillespie garden
at Santa Barbara. Mr.. Gillespie is an
enthusiastic collector. He has search
ed the deserts of Africa, the mountains
of Mexico and. the islands of the sea
to add new specimens to his collec-
ton.
Extensive Variety OF Trees.
During a recent visit, 1 was told
that more than 200 varieties have
been planted in the extensive Persian
garden. One of the most interesting
trees to an enthusiast is a Guadalupe
palm, a native of the island of Guada-
lupe, some $50 miles south Of San
Diego. In a sheltered corner, I saw
a grand specimen Of the Areca sapida
from far-away New Zealand. Dwarfed
Chamaerops humilis, from the Medl-
terranean region, contrasted strongly
with the stately Chamaerops excelsa,
from China. On the terraced hillside,
I noted the Jubea spectabilis, OF Wine
Palm of Chile; the Erythea armata,
commonly called the Blue Palm, q ma
tive of Lower California; the Sabal
Palmetto, or Cabbage Palm of Florida =;
and even the Seaforthia, from Aus
~tralia, one of the most elegant of the
palm family.
But the most striking Of all is the
double row of feathery Cocos plumosa-
natives of Southern Brazil, and the
wide-spreading Phoenix canariensis
that border the impressive roadway

House With Spirit of Home.

Rich or poor, we r all tempted, in
varying degrees, to build bigger houses
than our personalities call for. Ons
who is building a new house can hard
ly do better than follow that excellent
motto of the Greeks, "NOt too much"
Is not the first principle of house build
ing to make something which shall de
pend for its effect, not upon size and
display, but upon its quiet adaptation
to the spirit of those who abide in it;
something the value of which no one
shall be able to measure in dollars
and cents, something that is ones own,
ones home?

which is surrounded by the most I'm
usual water garden in California.
Resemble Marching Regiment.
Thousands of these ornamental
palms are used to advantage on the
Hope ranch, on the outskirts of Santa
Barbara. From an elevation we first
beheld them In great numbers thanking
the winding roadway In the valley be-
low. They reminded me Of q regiment
Of erect soldiers marching with pre-
cision, two abreast, carrying huge UNI
brellas I'VE their heads to protect
them from the intense heat. And as
we watched them from a speeding au-
tomobile, there was the added optical
illusion, owing to the angle from which
we saw them and the regularity with
which they had been planted In double
rows, Of the trees actually moving
with long strides out of the valley and
disappearing over the rolling hills.
The city of Fresno boasts a palm
lined avenue that is without doubt one
of the finest in the state, not excepting
the famous Magnolia avenue of River
side. 1t was graded, planted and i'm
proved in 1892 by the late Theodore
Kearny at his W expense and decided
to the county. Think of a smooth, dead
level road eleven miles long, 40 feet
wide, bordered on both sides with fan
palms, oleanders, eucalypti and PAM
pas grass! The roadway run through
beautiful stretches of vineyards and
fruit trees, and in places, along the
grain fields, r masses of CALIFORNIA;
state flower, the poppy, of such vivid
golden colorlng as to suggest a flow Of
fiery lava In q sea of emerald.

~ NE of the first impressions the
visitor receives when he en-
tiers California is the wide va
riety of palms to be found ev-
erywhere. You see them in the gar
dens of rich and poor, along the city
streets and country lanes, in park con
se%rvatories, in private homes, In the
theaters, the hotel Hobbies, the shop
windows.
Your interest is aroused and then
you begin asking questions. You soon
get so that you can pick out the most
popular varieties and then you learn
their history and origin, for palms
from every section of the world grow
in California.
From q historical standpoint, the
I most unusual palm tree in the state
stands at the foot of the Preside Hill,
in San Diego. 1t was planted by
Father Junipero Sierra, who brought
European civilization into California
in 1869, and it is said that the only
time the Seeding bore fruit was in
1869, probably in honor Of it's me
nun0redth anniversary.
For years, a group of these tall
palms stood on this spot, much SCARED
and neglected. In April, 1887, a fence
was built to protect them from further
Dissertation. Six years later, one Of
them was taken up and displayed in
the glass horticultural building of the
Chicago Columbian exposition. 1t did
not live long, however, probably be-
cause 1t suffered from the long jour
ney across the continent or missed
the salt breeze it had enjoyed for a
century and a quarter.
Old Landmark Preserved.
Several years ago, a severe wind
storm badly damaged another of these
veteran sentinels and it, too, sue
cumbed, leaving but one of the group
standing. This impressed the authori-
ties with the necessity Of protecting
this old landmark and so 1t has been
braced and taken care of, and as a
result it bids fair to live for many
years.
But this reminder of California's
mission days is not by any mean the
Oldest or tallest palm in California. In
Riverside county is Palm Canyon, 10.

the eastern slope of Mt. San Jacinto.
There may be found thousands of ma
tive fan palms, many of them over a
hundred feet tall, that are estimated
by scientists to have been standing

Hometown
SHOWING CHARACTER IN HOME
Builder Should Express His Own Ma
ture And Not Follow Reiening
Style in Architecture.

The essential in the art Of home
building is the ability to suit your
wv taste-to express your own ma
ture. Your taste may not at all coin
eide with that of your neighbor, but
that is not important. There are as
many individual expressions of the art
that is within one as there are leaves
on a tree, and there is no good reason
why the expression of the individual
should not continue in the home itself.
For peoples characters do show in
their homes-in the architecture of the
dwelling, the decorations within, the
selection of the furniture, even in the
pictures and the way they are hung.
To persons who are not especially OBJ
servant this fact is as plain as the fact
that one can always detect the pres
ence of feminine fingers in the ar
rangement of the bric-a-brac, the flow
ers or vase on the stand or the books
and magazines on the library table.
The thing is so palpably human that
it is almost impossible not to recog-
nize it.
It may never have occurred to you
how bound down most of US are by
conventions that someone else estab-
lished without our knowledge or anc
ton and which may or may not repre-
sent our ideals. And still we follow
them blindly. But it is a sorry fact
that most people don't build their
houses or their homes to fit their ma
lures. Rather do they try to make
their natures fit into the home which
they pay numerous other persons to
build for them.
They allow themselves to be made
slaves of convention, style or fad, and
their home is no more like them-nO
more the expression of their lives or
natures-than an automobile is like o
flat-bottom boat. They 60 to the e
est architect, who tells them what the
reigning style happens to be at the mo-
ment, as if he were planning to fit
them all with the latest Paris fashions

CITY PLANNING IDEA GROWS
Regarded as Visionary Has TAX
en- Hold on Popular Interest.

City planning, which may once have
been regarded as the peculiar project
of meddlesome theorists, has taken a
new hold on popular interest in the
United States. New York city sup
plies one notable example of planning
activity. An examination of the causes
underlying disastrous slumps in prop
erty values in what was formerly "a
congested district in the lower part of
Manhattan Island showed that the dis
trict had been permitted to grow in
~haphazard fashion without any fore
thought of the inevitable growth of a
business section farther uptown. New
York business men saw too late that
such a condition could have been pre-
vented, and they asked for and OBJ
tanned a planning commission.
Interest in city planning has been
awakened in Indiana. Fort Wayne is
the first city in the state to
preparations for a planning exhibit
ton, although the chamber of COM
merce of Indianapolis and several 9th
er cities have been considering local
exhibitions as the first step in a cam
paign to get a law authorizing planning,
commissions. The material and scope
of these exhibitions can be adjusted to
local needs, but the purpose of all of
them is to visualize city planning as
it is proceeding in other places, and to
show to the uniformed or skeptical
citizen that it has an intensely prac-
teal value.-Indianapolis Star.
