one finds most Of the buildings in which
the offices Of the state government are
housed. Several blocks north, at the end
Of King William street, Is the governor
city home, surrounded by a neat park.
Nearby are the libraries, museum, art
buildings and other structures which
have given Adelaide its nickname of the
Athens of Australia.
1t is hard to realize that in the early
days the city was divided into acres
which sold at the price Of So each, each
purchaser being limited to an acre The
site on which the town hall now stands
was bought for that price in 1910. Today
it is worth 100000. The original price
was regarded SIS high in those early days
but 1t was fixed by law as the price OF all
land good or bad, in the then colony.

Hope. In those early days Adelaide was
for England and the sntinent were dis
patched and the incoming malls for Vie
toria, New South Wales, and South Aus
tralia received. Today the same condi-
ton prevails to a large extent and four
of the largest steamship companies which
handle the mails make Adelaide a stop
ping point from which the chertshs ed let
tiers from home" are dispatched over
land TO the eastern coast.
Until 1908 the facilities ut Port AIDE
lalde were quite inadequate Big ships
were forced to anchor and unload their
eargoes to lighter boats Today they
can come right up to wharyes. with a
total length OF 3 200 feet, built on what Is
known as the Outer Harbor, with an en-
trance 400 feet wide. The smaller yes
sells come into the inner harbor which In
realty IS the mouth OF a river which
some OF the early settlers characterized
as a miserable little creek. Since those
days 1t has been dredged out until II
can be used by fair sized vessels. The
site of Adelaide was chosen more be
cause it was q good place for a city than
because OF its harbor facilities.
To Port Adelaide and to n half dozen
other suburbs there IS maintained splen-

service. The street cars are modern nf-
fairs which only a few years ago re
placed the horse drawn cars which were
the first to give a service OF this kind in
oil Australia. Power is obtained from

which can be operated together or

frequent and runs out of the union sta

roads. 1t is said few OF the 100000 per
sons in the metropolitan area OF Adelaide
and It's suburbs need walk more than
mile before they can get ride into
the city. The street car service is
operated by the Tram Trust, as it is
called, and is governed by a board OF
eight members, two of whom represent
the state government and the others
the city and the suburbs.

A DELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
~ Australia.-W hen first you step off
= II the train In Adelaide, apital of the
state Of South Africa, you are struck
with the idea that here is q modern city.
It's streets are broad, exceedingly so, and
down many Of them runs a parkway Of
trees. World travellers assert that AIDE
laide is laid out In almost duplicate Of
Turin. Italy.
1t is somewhat of a surprise to dis
cover that Adelaide was not laid out
within the last few wears, that its broad
streets and squares are fulfllments of
the plan made in 1887 by Col. William
Light, who was sent out from England
as the first surveyor general. There was
great deal Of objection when Light
chose the site for the future capital. but
he appears TO have been a firm man who
was convinced the beautiful, rising
ground was an ideal spot, even though
1t was six miles from the best port in
the neighborh00d
Residents Of Adelaide today are inclined
to bless the forathought of Colonel Light.
He laid out a tract of land a mile square
and all around It he reserved a strip Of
woodlands for park reserves, which now
are splendid brea thing spots for the pop
ulation of $4,000 in the city proper and
four times as many in the suburbs. These
park lands total 1900 acres. while the
area Of the land enclosed by them is 1,O42
acres. Through the center Of the city
runs a pleasant little stream, the River
Torrens, which efTectuali, divides the
business part Of Adela de, south of the
river, from the residential section.
THERMOMETERS SHOW
no IN THE SHADE.
Adelaide is 50 degrees south of the
equator. about the same distance as Mem
phis, Tenn. is north of st. 1t is six
miles from the Gulf of st. Vincent and
hemmed in by the mountains of the Mt.
Lofty range. So it was no surprise to
find it very warm there, even in March,
which s the beginning Of the fall season
in Australia. But we were not prepared
for the excessive humidity. The Average
temperature of Adelaide in summer over
a period Of sixty years has been only
IA degrees. The average winter tempera-
ture is so degrees. 1t was somewhat stag
gering to find the thermometer at 40 de
grees in the shade and 30 degrees hotter
in the sun. Residents assured us this
was unusual; that in Melbourne-Or Sgd
ney, perhaps-such heat would not be out
of the ordinary (this is their little joke
However, the official figures revealed
that on one day in the city's history
the shade temperature was 116 degrees
and that once upon a time, in 1882. the

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-America is
neither officially nor unofficially repre-

meeting now in session at Geneva. Sup
positions current abroad that David
Jayne Hill, who was in the extensive
America Gallery at the opening session
on Monday, sat there as an observer on
behalf OF President Harding or Secretary
hughes are without foundation. DR.. Hill
used to be resident of Switzerland, even
after ending his career as United States
Minister to Ber1e, for he and Mrs. Hill
owned a chateau near Lake Ganeva. 1t is
more than probable that the former am
bassador to Germany will communicate
his impressions Of the assembly to highly
placed friends in Washington, but if he
does so 1t will be wholly Of his own vo-
1tion and in 4 strictly informal and

1t has been intimated in official quar-
tiers, that a new sheaf of diplomatic ap-
pointments may be expected soon. One
OF the former members Of the service
who ray be redrafted is Henry Lane

sador to Mexico from 1909 to 1918. Mr.
Wilson was appointed ambassador to

One of the first Hills likely to be in
treduced in Congress when the session is
resumed is the foreign service reorgani-
cation act, sponsored by Representative
John Jacob Rogers of Massachusetts. The
bill was drafted to a considerable ex-
tent by Robert Peet Skinner. the veteran
American consul general at London. Its
principal feature is one providing for
an amalgamation of the diplomatic and
consular services. Under that provicion
consular officers would become eligible
for transfer to the diplomatic branch. as

There are not many Of these aborig-
ines left in South Australia Most of
them are of the four mission stations,
which are partly maintained by private
organizations and partly by state gov
eminent subsidy. A few hundreds are
scattered out through the bush living
in the primitive style of their forefath-
ers, and quite content because the gov
eminent feeds and clothes them At the
mission stations food and clothing is
given in exchange for work on the farms
At least that IS the theory, but / was
told that work and aborigines do not
fit well together and that there are more
natives than there Is work for them TO
do. Some of the residents, too, are half
castles, and they seem to have absorbed
all Of the vices and faults Of both blacks
and whites and have appropriated the
virtues Of neither.

probably is due to the fact pottery is

that brick and tile making is another

Australia leads the commonwealth in
the percentage Of marriages according

at one time the second lowest in the
world. and its birth rate is around
twenty five to the thousand Of popula-
ton.
In connection with the fact that Ade-
laide is the place where many mar
riages take place 1 was told that 1t had
been the principal reason why almost
every motor car which is for hire In the
city is painted either white or cream
colored. The first auto owner who had
white cars was in such demand for we'd
dings that he threatened to get a
monopoly of the business. SO the other
taxi owners painted their cars white
and they have been doing it ever since
Even though the autos are plentiful and
the rates reasonable the average resi-
dent of Adelaide seems to prefer to ride
in an old fashioned arry-all such as
formerly met the trains in the villages
of the United States. They struck me
as queer vehicles to be on She streets
of progressive a city, particularly as
most Of them are drawn by diminutive
ponies which seem all the smaller when
hitched to such big vehicles.
