THE CALIFORNIA MISSIONS

Scattered up and down the coast of
California-each one days journey on
horseback apart from the next-are a
chain OF twenty-one great Spanish
missions, which stand as monument
everlasting to the credit of the Fran
ciscan Fathers.
Connected by historic trail known
as "El Canine Real" (The Kings
Highway, approximately 700 miles In
length extending from San Diego
northward to Sonoma, these romantic
and picturesque buildings Moorish in
architecture-might well be classed as
1.-THE American counterpart of the
thiress that people go to the old coun-
tries of Europe tos see."
These famous missions are relic
of a romantic and yet fearless en-
deavor, carried on by the Franciscan
missionaries, at the command of the
king Of Spain to establish through a
edge of Christianity in her farther
most possession. The movement took
definite form when the Mission San
Diego was founded in the year 1859,
but the chain was not completed until
81 years later when the Mission San
Francisco de Solano at Sonoma was
established.
How many additional missions
might have been added to this chain
and how much farther up the coast it
would have been extended, nobody
knows, because before the advent Of
1924 the system was disrupted and
further construction stopped by the
government of Mexico. However, this
labor Of love then had to its credit the
civilizing and the Outstanding of
race Of savage Indians which had
been taught to read, write and ply
themselves at useful trades and play
musical instruments.
Some of these missions now lie in
ruins or have passed entirely into
oblivion. Others, in splendid state
of preservation, are still used for reg
ular service. The San Jose, fifty miles
south of San Francisco, although not
to be compared in size or cost tc
some others, has been accorded
marked attention. 1t once owned more
than $4,000 head of live stock. The
San Antonio de Padua, east Of San
Luis Obispo, was compensated for it's
lack of riches by tinge of romance
such as few, if indeed any of the
others, possessed. San Gabriel, four
miles from Pasadena, much visited.
has been described as "a picture to re-
member for lifetime" San Buena-
ventura, north of Los Angeles, "glor-
ious relic recalled from the past to
bless with its memories the present
and the future" had perhaps the most
beautiful altar Of all, while San Luis
Ray de Francia, near Oceanside, with
walls four and five feet thick, it's cor
ridor containing $50 arches, was per-
haps the greatest, richest and grand
est Of them all.

THINGS
UNUSUAL
By T. T. MAXEY
COMFY ISLAND

Every normal person desires and de-
serves the chance to play occasionally
and every large city has its nearby
play spot. Consequently, it came to
pass that our most noted artificial--as
differentiated from our natural nation
al parks playground was located ada
cent our largest aggregation of hud-
dled-up humanity, New York City.
Coney Island has been referred TO
as Americas Mad Playground" and
the stranger who visits it on hot
summer night readily and naturally
gains the impression that the swarm
ing hordes Of people are mad for play,
also that almost everybody is going
to or coming from Coney Island.
Perched on an outfung point OF
Long island-About an hours ride
from "the big city," with slOping,
sandy beach upon which breaks and
rolls the Atlantic oceans SURF Coney
Island is one of the most popular bath
ing places in the world The creek
which formerly separated Coney from
Long island having been partially
filed in, it is no longer a separate
island, but the name, known world
wide, was not changed.
Belonging originally TO the Canarsie
Indians who called it Narrioch, Coney
Island came into possession of white
people as far back as 1643. The pres
ent Coney dates from the erection OF
a pavilion in 1874. Since that time it
has grown steadily and marvelously
as an amusement center and is now
the widest-known amusement resort
we have.
A spectacular cluster of domes,
spires and odd-looking buildings, cafes,
dance floors, shooting galleries, roller
coasters, movies, merry-go-rounds,
freak stunts. peanut, popcorn, ice
cream and hot dog stands, one can
see here every form Of thriller yet in
vented and many that can be seen no
where else, hear noises and experience
confusions before unknown. AS one
observer expressed it: 1T is move
ment. Everything shakes or glides or
shimmies or jumps or tumbles or
turns nothing ever stands still"
Most folks go their to "cur loose"
and "have a good time" If their
facial expressions are safe guide for
the formulation of an opinion, they
certainly get what they go after
Older folks often seem on their guard
lest they lost their dignity, but most
of them, in a moment of laxity, stoop
to some Indulgence, enjoy the sport
and enjoy the crowd of care-free fun
chasers. This is one place where Fun
is King. One simply cannot remain
there and stay serious.

Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
lions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
