For all the peoples of the civilized

The Forty-niners, you see, rushed
California into the Union away ahead
Of her geographical turn.
This upsetting of the geographical

development of the Indian country.

Moreover the Ifs of history have

Then, too, the rise and fall of the
California missions is of interest alike
to historical student, economist ami
religionist.
Jesuits began the establishment of
the missions of Lower California. With
their expulsion in 1867, the Dominicans
were given the work, While the Fran
ciscans We're called upon to begin on
upper California. Father .Junipero
Sierra, padre presidente, had founded
nine missions along the Canine Real
from San Diego to San Francisco when
he died in 1884. They prospered.

When Mexico secularized the mis-

phytes. The padres had about $4,000
cattle, sheep, horses and mules. Their
annual grain crop was 900 bushels !;
their annual income from sales from
herds was $550,000. The result of Sec
ularization was this: "a few years suf-
feed to strip the establishments of ev-
erything of value and leave the Indi-
ans, who were In contemplation of
law the beneficiaries of secularization,

speak, homeless wanderers"
Again: California has such bag of
tricks for visitors from ordinary spots.
1t has, for example, assorted climates
at all seasons for all comers. It's just

And at San Diego not even native

July. Then there is Mount Lassen,
the only active volcano, and the big
trees and redwoods, the oldest and big

California's very name suggests the
romance of her early days-and her
historical beginnings are very old.

name to Baja Uower) California when
he made his settlement at La Paz in

first sighted by Juan Rodriguez Cab

guese navigator flying the golden
castles of CASTLE and the red lions of

first to float over the coast.

Food Combinations 1t
Is Wisdom, to Auoid

The recent death of Oh Hong,
Chinese laundryman of Baltimore, aft
er luncheon consisting of cherry pie
and milk, calls attention strongly to
the fact that certain food combinations
may be highly dangerous, though the
component parts are harmless enough
individually. Chin Hong's death is not
attributed to indigestion but to blood
letting practiced by Chinese doctors,
but his luncheon made him seriously
Ill.
Cherry pie and milk make combi-
nation dangerous to Americans as we'll
as Orientals, though a few persons are
able to assimilate them successfully.
A similarly dangerous dietary group
ing Is that of bananas and alcoholic
liquors, especially if the bananas are
not fully ripe.
1t is best, in any event, to avoid
either of these food combinations al
any time Of the year.

New Afghan Coinage

. The government of Afghanistan has
introduced new system of coinage
which has for It's unit the amania, a
silver coin worth approximately the
same as the Kabuli rupee (about 16
cents). The name of the new coin is
derived from Amanulla. the name of
the present ameer of Afghanistan In
addition to the amania there will be
coined half-amania pieces and nickel
coins of smaller denominations. Ac-

The Riding Habit Offers Many Modes

fitted lines. The varying of sleeves is
limited to the breeches suit-some of
these have sleeves and others look
equally attractive without. The suit
may be developed entirely in a single
material or it may utilize two. Among
the dual combinations are flannel and
linen and gabardine and pongee-gab-
ardine and linen and flannel and pom
gee are equally acceptable. Melton,
whipcord, English woolens and water
repellent tweeds are among other rid
ing costume fabrics.
However, the key to the smart rid
ing habit of 1925 will be found neither
in fabric nor type, and not in the sill
houette. Instead it will be noted in
the opposing themes struck by cos
tune and detail. Lay it at the door of
timorous couture, fearful of bizarre
extremes, or the nicely balanced taste
of the horsewOman herself. the fact
remains that the mannish suit must
have its feminizing accessories while
the gentler habit requires the severe
touch of masculine detail.

Flowers Dislike Jazz

The cyclamen and the carnation are
among the flowers most susceptible to
the influence of music. Some which
were used in floral decorations close
to a stand where the band was play

to have all turned their faces away
from the music.
They were turned around facing the
