HON City Got Title

Atlanta received the title Of "The
Gate City" at a banquet held in
Charleston, s. c., in 1850, according
to Robert F. Maddox in a speech at
Mayor Sims dinner to visiting rail-
road officials at the Biltmore hotel.
"They had a big celebration in
Charleston when the railroad from
Charleston to Memphis was COM
pleted," Mr.. Maddox said. ATLANTA
and other cities sent representatives.
Atlanta was an inland city, while the
others were located on navigable wa
terways. The mayor Of Atlanta was
called on to respond to the toast, "At-
lanta, the Gate City of the South" and
the city has held this honorable title
ever since.

How Ships WIiu Be Salved

Italian government engineers have
apprC6ed plan for raising from Lake
Nemi near Rome the pleasure galleys
of Emperor Tiberius who died in 81
A. D. It is believed that these gal
leys are we'll preserved and that they
will throw much light on the social life
of the Roman nobility Of that period.
The question has attracted the atten.
tion Of archeOlogists for centuries.
Even as early as the Sixteenth CEN
ury a scientist named Alberti risked
his life in an attempt to raise the an
cient vessels. About thirty years ago
Professor Macs, who spent years
on his project, devised machinery
which raised valuable pieces of bronze
and marble. But it was found impos-
sible to raise the galleys because Of
their great weight. By the new plan
the lake will be drained by cutting
tunnel through the side of the extinct
volcano crater in which the lake Is
situated. The project will probably
cost 0,000-Pathfnde Magazine.

a similar treaty with the Kaw Indians
This meeting was held at Turkey
Creek in Mcpherson county, Kansas
These treaties made Council Grove
a safe gathering place for the units
of a caravan, but did not lessen the
dangers Of the Trail beyond. At times
the Indians of various tribes were so
active that the United States govern
ment sent a military escort. This was
done in 1929, 1884 and 1913. But
our troops might not cross the Arkan-
sas (American-MeXican line), beyond
which the greatest danger lay.
But nothing could daunt the Ameri-
can pioneer. For 35 years (1825-1860)
the "Santa Fe Expedition was an
annual event Of first Importance to
st. Louis. After Franklin was washed
into the Missouri the point of depar-
ture moved to Independence With
the advent Of regular and reliat le
steamer transportation Westport Land
ing (Kansas City, became popular.
The start was made in April. Over
the $50 miles to Council Grove each
party made its own way. At Council
Grove a captain and lieutenants were
chosen and the force was divided into
companies for guard duty.
Other trade activities sprang up.
The Bent brothers and Ceran ST.
Vrain built posts Bent's Old Fort on
the Arkansas, completed in 1882, vas
the Oldest, largest and most important
of the fur-trading posts of the Great
Plains William Bent was the first
settler of Colorado and for long its
most important citizen. The Bents
dealt with Taos, Santa Fe and the
northern Mexican states. For forty
years they sent out at least one eXpe-
ditiOn to ST. Louis
From 1880 for many years Santa Fe
was the center of the trading and
trapping life of the Southwest. There
were organized trading expeditions to
Chihuahua and Sonora and California
and trapping expeditions in all direc
tiOns.
Then came the Mexican War In
1916 Col. Stephen w. Kearny marched
Il
and took possession of New Mexico
Then, instead Of going on into Mexico,
he turned at right angles and went on
to California, which became ours by
annexation July of that year.
1t was not until 1849 that the Over
land Stage made it's appearance on
the Santa Fe trail, after twenty live
years of travel by prairie schooner.
Two stages travelled together for pro-
lection against the Indians.
The story of the Santa Fe Trail Is
one of pioneer push, daring adventure
and desperate fighting. The largest
Importance of the Santa Fe Trail is
that it was a tig factor in bringing
about the annexation of Texas, the
Mexican War and the conquest of Cali
foTnia.

Each Of them had previously filed
UP a form, giving details as to their
situation and prospects, and making
known their ideas regarding their life

forms each person received a num-
bered badge.

Most Of the men wanted wives who
were fond of home" while the
principal stipulations made by the girls
were that their prospective husbands
should have safe jobs and satisfactory

Ho1O Birds Kno1U the Way

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
and foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive, in some way, to currents of
terrestrial magnetism and, therefore,
direct their flight by the magnetic me-
ridians, says the Popular Science
Monthly. This suggestion was put
forth by NJ. A. Thouzier, French
pigeon fancier, who declares that car
rier pigeons make poor flights during
the occurrence of magnetic storms.
He also asserts that the general use Of
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of these birds to a surpris-
ing extent.

view, the Southwest got started CON
siderably earlier than the atlantic
Coast.
1t was the Coronado expedition of
1902, sent out by Viceroy Mendoza
of New Spain, that first explored the
F0sbIo country of New Mexico and
Arizona and the Great Plains as far
northeast as central Kansas. He also
discovered the Colorado River and the
Grand Canyon. Tucson claims settle
ment by the Spaniards in 1880 Santa
Fe was founded by Onate as early as
1905 and possibly ten years earlier.
ST. Augustine, founded in 1865, is
probably the oldest Atlantic Coast set

Cbamplatn founded Quebec in 1905
The Dutch may have got a foothold on
Manhattan Island as early as 1914
The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock in 1920 and the Swedes about
the same time made a settlement in
New Jersey.
SO the American Atlantic Coast
properly dates from 1907 The Ameri-
can Southwest may be said properly
to date from 1906 To be sure, St.

the founders were French and the

Santa Fe by way Of Taos. He sold
his American calicoes at 81 and So q
vara (short yard). This established
the fact that the Santa Fe trade was
profitable. Benjamin Cooper of LIE Mine
River made very profitable trips in 1922
and 1923. In 1924 Colonel Marmaduke,
Bernard Pratte, Augustus Storrs and
about eighty other traders joined
forces. They transported about $780,
600 worth Of goods over the trackless
prairies to the Great Bend Of the Ar
kansas anG thence across the dreaded
desert directly to Santa Fe. This
caravan used the first wheeled We
hicles. The returns were $180,00O in
specie and $4,000 in furs
United States Senator Thomas S.
Benton Of Missouri had the vision to
see the Importance of the Santa Fe
trade and had the influence to secure
the passage of an act by congress ir
1925 appr0priating funds for the sur
yey of a route from Franklin to Santa
Fe. The surveyors followed the usual
route to the Great Bend of the Ar
kansas and thence followed the river
to Taos as the safer way. The more
daring traders, however, preferred the
shorter way across the Cimarron Des-
ert This sixty miles was a veritablo
tornado del Muerto" for the unpre-
pared.
The Cimarron Desert lacked 9th
wood and water, but It's chief DANCE
was from bands of nomad Indians
who had an Unsuitable desire for
horses and guns-and scalps. Many
were the desperate encounters of the
Cimarron Desert. The Indians might
be any one of several tribes. The
traders did not attempt to distinguish
among them in making reprisals. FL
nally the situation became virtually a
war of determination between white
man and red.
BentOn's act Of 1926 authorized the
appointment Of a commission to treat
with the Indian regarding safe pas
sage for caravans. President John
Quincy Adams appointed as commits
sioners Benjamin FL. Reeves, George
c. Sibley and Thomas Mather. Their
first meeting was with Chiefs of the
Great and Little Osages at an extern

the trail crossed the NeoshO River. ten

Lack OF moral training in the

a Chicago citizens meeting.
I'm Chicago It is estimated there
are 100000 youths entirely beyond

Gulbransen. Crime among chill
dren is increasing In New York City
Ninety per cent Of the children in
tho Juvenile court there report that
they have never been to Sunday
school. OF 100000 pupils in ele
mentary schools in New York only
one third are receiving any kind OF

I'VE read OF a child twelve years
old in a grade school being con.
victed of cocaine running at 60
cents a trip. This average age OF
gun.killers, holdup men and auto.

Is nineteen years. Lack OF religious
training, intoxicating the concept OF
moral responsibility, Is the cause
underlying this wave OF youthful
crime.
THE place to fight this moral
breakdown Is in the q 5000. 900 homes
