dance halls and at other places throughout
the pageant. More than 1000 children of
both sexes from the public schools have
been trained in various dances, which they
will contribute to the pageant A humor-
Gus feature is the Stunt performed by
200 prominent business and professional
men of Sacramento who, meeting together
the morning of St. Patrick's Day, had
clean shaves, and then agreed to let their
boards grow until after the pageant. These
bearded men are playing the parts of
miners, prospectors, "gunmen" and sheriffs,
in the pageant.

mothers. A practical feature is an exhi-
bition of all known forms of mining and
of the separation of gold from its ores.
An artificial mountain has been con-
structed, with trails, tunnels, and shafts in
it. Gold-bearing ore has been brought in,
and the tunnels and shafts afe lined with
it, so that the miners may be seen at
work. The ore is brought out, in both the
old and the new ways, and handled in
old hand-crushers and by modern stamp
mill. Placer mining-the original form
in which gold production was carried on
in California-is shown from the days of
James Marshall and the old-time sluice-
boxes and cradles, down to the huge
dredgers now employed in the Sacramento

lanes w. Marshall, who discovered gold
in California; Kit Carson, and score of
other men prominent at that time in the
history of California. Historic buildings
of such one-time centers of life and activ-
ity as "Slug Gulch," Dutch Flat" "Chinese
Bend" "Hell's Acre." Roaring Gorge"
"You Bet and many another-all very
real names in the winning of the West
have been erected as nearly as possible
like the originals, and Sacramento looks
like logging camp with all the timber
brought in to erect the buildings of other
days.

for an outpouring of the society folk of

separate and different relics and memen-
toes of the early days in the California
gold fields ranging from the small cannon
which Captain John Sutter brought with
him, and which protected Suffers Fort
from the "hostiles," down to pens used by
Sutter, Marshall, Governor Barnett and
other prominent men, have been collected
from descendants and other relatives of
these men, and are being exhibited in the
replicas of the old buildings of the mining
camps.
The pageant commentaries the dis
covery of gold in California. The early
history of California is a part of Spanish
tradition, but the story of its settlement is
one, of boundless faith in an unknown
land, tireless energy, and measureless
courage. Junipero Sierra, whose only wea-
pons against hunger, thirst and the In
dians, were his faith and his crucihx,

~ LO1o oenefelder, waSherwOman,
~ and laundry bill were factors in
the discovery-or re-discoyery-of
lithography. Of course, the laundry bill
was not really necessary no more was the
washerwoman, but as they played impor-
tant parts they must share the honors of
invention with Senefelder
Alloys Senefelder was born in Munich
in 1771. His father was connected with
the Munich Theater and the lad, Allows.
was fired with desire to become an
actor; but the father would have none of
it, So the lad was sent to college. He
stayed there long enough to get smatter-
ing of knowledge Then his father died
and he was forced to leave school and
shift for himself. Being now without
paternal restraint young Senefeder turned
to his boyish ambition. He could not
secure an opening on the stage so he set
about writing comedies and playing one of
his own characters in amateur companies.
He managed to scrape together money
enough to get some of his plays printed;
but he found it much harder to find sale
for them. Then he wrote one more comedy,
which he persuaded himself, after the
manner of dreamers, was to bring him
lasting fame and fortune. Being at the
end of his purse he could find no printer
who coald see sufficient merit in either
the play or its author to publish it wholly
on credit This aroused the latent inven-
tive genius in Senefelder, and he decided
to print the play himself.
First, he secured some old type and de-
vised rough process of sterotyping. This
did not satisfy the playwright and he
secured some copper plates and by much
practice and application managed to ac-
quire considerable skill in back-hand writ
ing and in engraving on plates.
When the copersmith would give him
no more plates without money, Senefelder
decided to reuse those he already had.
For the purpose of grinding the engraving
from these plates he secured pieces of a
soft calcareous stone from the banks of
the River Isere. This answered for a
time, but soon the plates were worn so
thin that they would stand no more en-
craving, and the play was by no means
finished. The only thing he had an abun-
dance of was confidence in himself, and a
pile of half-polished blocks of stone.
While waiting till he could get either
money to buy more copper plates or an
extension of credit, he determined to i'm
prove himself in back-hand writing.
For lack of paper he used a polished
side of the calcareous stone and for ink he
made mixture of wax, soap and lamp
black. While he was busily engaged in
this practice one day his mother asked
him to make a list of things the washer
woman was about to launder. Senefelder
could not find scrap of paper about the
house, nor drop of ink. So he wrote
the list with his homemade ink on one of
the smooth stones, intending to copy it
when he could find paper.
Some days later he was about to rule the
list off the stone when the thought struck
him to try the effect of acid on it. Making

STORY OF '49
Selected

THE largest and longest pageant ever
= mento, this week. More than 10000
persons from every county in which gold
has been found in California, and from
every city and town which has had any,
thing to do with the gold discoveries are
taking part in the festivities. The city,
which has nearly 10000 inhabitants, is
the stage called "The Days of 49," and
on which committee of 1000 men and
women are now acting. 500 contractors,
carpenters and laborers were instrumental
in erecting buildings for the affair. Fifty
engineers planned mechanical effects for
the pageant, and 1000 ladies of the capital
city organized the Days of '49 Club, and
are wearing the costumes of IS years ago.
The old city-or rather the village of
1850, from which the present city sprang
has been reproduced on the water front,
true to all the details of rare daguerre-
otype made in that year. Within the city,
on a tract of land embracing nearly 20
acres, has been erected complete replica
of the old mining camp of "Hangtown,"
now known as Placerville, also taken from
a daguerreotype of II years ago. In still
another part of the city there was con-
structed an exact copy of Suffers Fort, the
central point of the greatest gold rush
the world has ever seen, and also the era
die of California history for more than
decade.
Historic K street, which was the forest
trail along which the first buildings in
Sacramento were erected many years ago,
has been converted into its pristine ap-
pearance, by the erection of false fronts on
the modern buildings, extending over the
sidewalks to the streets, while automobiles,
motor trucks and street cars are barred
from the street, to add to the illusion of
the past. The hotels are using six and
eight-horse stages and ox-wagons for the
week, in place of their motor buses, in
meeting trains and in transporting guests
about the city. A fund of approximately
half million dollars has been raised
from the various gold-producing sections
of California, and the mining camp, SUIT
ter's Fort, the old village of Sacramento,
and the reconstructed K street are open
perpetually, day and night, throughout
the pageant, just as the mining camps of
the roaring forties" never closed.
The pageant reproduces the days Of the
gold rush, with the exception that city,
county, state and Federal officials have
agreed that lot a drop of intoxicating
liquor of any kind shall be allowed. There
are saloons, gambling houses, dance halls
with dancing girls, and everything that
went TO make up a frst-class mining
camp IS years ago. The games of chance
are shown in operation, but real money
cannot be played on them. Plenty of
chips and counters have been provided
free of charge for all who care to play,
but there are no prizes and no actual
gambling, though one may win or lose all
the free chips he cares to play.
Prominent men of Sacramento and other
cities of Northern California are the "bar-
tenders" gamblers" "dance-hall keepers"
merchants and other characters of the min
ing camp, and the leading women have

CHEVROLET
F B MODEL
EXCELLENT CAR
Ebert Smith Tells Feat
ures of This Popular
Priced Car

How is it possible to sell sucl
big, handsome, powerful touring
cars and roadsters as Chevrolet
"FB" models for so low price as
$975? How is it possible to Offer
such luxurious cOupcs and sedan,
as Chevrolet "FB" models for Sc
low a price? Queries like these
are constantly raised by prospcc-
tive automobile purchasers Otter
seeing with their own eyes tn
wonderful values in Chevrolet
cars as sold by the Morrill, Garage
Co, of st. Johnsburv distributor
of Chevrolet motor cars for this
section.
"The answer, says Ebert
Smith of the Morrill, Garage,
Co., Consists of two words-pub-
lie demand. 'FB' models offer such
an unusual combination Of refine
ment and economy that they have
established distinct standard Of
motor car value And the public
is dis quick to recognize maximum
other kind of merchandise.
"Thc Chevrolet FB' motor is
famous the world over for its
power, economy and feXibility.
This motor was designed and
built by the engineering depart
ment of the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany and has been in use by them
for some five or six years. 1t has
proved so successful that in 1921
the General Motors Corporation,
of which the Chevrolet Motor
Company is an important division,
decided to adopt the model FB'
motor as one Of their standard
four-cylinder motors and are now
using it in cars manufactured by
other divisions of that corporation.
"Chevrolet FB' compete sue
cessfully with lowcr-priced cars in
the matter of gasoline and tire mi
leage. And in quality of design,
construction and equipment they
compare favorably with cars
which cost much more. In their
own price class Chevrolet EFB'
lllOuelS nave no rivals lot power,
stamina, appearance or comfort
thousands who heretofore have
owned only the loWcst-priced au-
tomobiles can now afford these
big, roomy, good looking and pow
erful motor cars. For they are as
economical to operate as to buy.
1t would be impossible to produce
only a few thousand such cars as
the Chevrolet 'FB' and sell them
at so low a price. Quality and
economy today are possible only
through standardized quantity
production. And this accounts for
the great value that the model
FB' affords.

Cadillac Car Runs

"The official report of January

new Cadillacs, were purchased for
one of all other makes combined

EXide Man Talks
of Batteries

an selecting a battery one must
bear in mind that its job is to give
a short powerful turn to the en-
CINE such as a muscular arm would
accomplish on the cranG," accord
! ing to John w. Tam manager of
the st. Johnsbury Exide Service
I Depot.
"This is better termed 'cranking
ability which every battery no
matter how cheap, must( have in
sufficient quantity to properly
start the engine. 1t is this starting
ability and not ampere-hour capac-
ity which a car owner should de-
mand in a battery.
"Whether the battery has the ca
pacity to keep turning the engine
continuously for Is or 20 minutes
is of little Importance, because the
battery in normal service is called
upon to deliver cranking current
for only a few seconds at time.
Broadly speaking, what is re-
quired, is the capacity of the bat
terry concentrated in a short squirt
Of current delivered with punch
rather than spread out in a thin
stream over several minutes. The
second consideration in choosing
the proper battery is long life.
''ln designing the Exide, no at
tention has been paid to how long
ii can deliver current at a certain
rate This is non-eSsential quality
in an automobile battery. Instead
every effort is directed toward in
creasing its punch or cranking
power and in lengthening its life.
"The result is a battery that has
as much cranking ability and long
life as it is mechanically and
scientifically possible to build into
a battery of its size. Thus we have
in the EXide an automobile battery
without a fraction of an Dune of
superfuous weight or of an inch
of bulk-a very important essen
tial in any automobile or Access
