without some iconOclast getting on the
first page.
For example, there's that German
astronomer and scientist Prof. Albert
Einstein, with his theory of "relativi-
ty." This 'relativity" theory is so
wonderful that only twelve men in all
the world are able to understand it,
it is stated. No wonder, it knocks all
established theories into a cooked hat
The professor holds, it is generally
understood, that our Ideas of time and
space are all wrong anG that Newton
should turn over in his grave and
guess again at the law of gravitation.
Then there's Marconi, the Italian

with the statement that Mars or Venus
or some other planet is running in

to say Hello, Earth Let's have a

And now jumps into the spotlight
L. 3. Larsen Of PoHtland, Ore, author
and theolOgian, who says-well, any
way, his discoveries are calculated to
shake our faith in the Bible, which
nowadays is about the only thing
man can really tie to. But first few
facts by way of preliminary, as sort
Of shock-absorber.
In the State of California, on the
Pacific, is the Cabrillo national monu-
ment. 1t was created October IA, 1913,
by proclamation of President Wilson,
under the act for the preservation of
American antiquities approved June s,
1906. All regular, you see; here's
something moreover, on which the
president and congress agree.
CabrillO national monument was ded-
icated by the United States to the
people because it is believed to be on
the identical spot first sighted by Juan
Rodriguez Cabrillo September %, 1912,
on his voyage of discovery of the Pa
cific coast. VascO Nunez de Balboa,
6rst of Europeans to see the Pacific,
gazed on it from a high peak of the
L
was the first of Europeans to see Cali
fornia from that same Pacific. To be
sure, fernando de Alcaron explored
The. mouth of the Colorado in 1910 or
thereaboutS and Francisco VaSquez de
Coronado was exploring Arizona and
New Mexico about the same time-he
may even have got as far as Kansas
but Cabrillo national monument Is q
sort of Pacific ocean Columbus Wat
ling island.
This American Southwest had it's
own civilization long before the Span
lard discovered" it-so long before
that the prehistoric people who lived
IN its cliff-dwellings and pueblos had
vanished before his arrival. Nobody
knows who they were, where they
came from or what became of them.
Excavations in Mesa Verde national
park in Colorado, in Bandelier nation
oil monument in New Mexico and in
other regions Astounding in prehistoric
ruins, have so far failed to solve the
mystery. That they had progressed
quite a way on the way to civilization
Is evident. They made clay utensils,
wove cloth, constructed stone build
lngs, had ceremonial structures, prac-
ticed irrigation, used cold-air refrige-
rators and lived under a community
organization.
