There is a story that San Diego would have been settled on this far side of the harbor, had not far see ing emigrant urged his fellow citi- zens to build a port over where the city grows today. go that now this old section is given over to the great new Marine Barracks erected by the government on the sandy neck of land that lies between old and new San Diego and leading out to Point Loma which forms the northern side of the city's splendid bay.
 Point L0ma stretches nine miles out to sea and rises higher and high CT as t lies to the westward. First one passes through a region Of those beautiful homes with their gardens which are SO common t0 California. | Then there are the famous and well ! guarded grounds of the Thsosophical Society of America. presided over by Mrs. Katherine Tingley. woman well known to the law courts and renown- ed as the possess0r of a most excel lent executive and financial ability. But Mrs. Tingiey keeps her unique colony to itself and the visitor can but pass the greet gates of her estate and see from without the towering dome of the Theosophieal Temple.
 The Tip of the Country
 One can realize at once on reach ing the grounds at the end of Point Loma why it is possessed of the great est military strategical value. This rocky point rises five hundred feet above the Pacific and commands all of San Diego. the wide flying field of the Western Army Base on the opposite shore and the winter home of the Pacific Fleet in the harbor beyond. From the base of the old Spanish lighthouse on the point one may look far out over the Pacific and across the narrow mouth of the harbor to where the huge bulk of the Coronado Hotel rises on the Strand beyond. As we sat in the sunshine there this morn ing, the driver Of our motor car told us how the "Shenandoah" in it's re- cent visit to the Coast almost stabbed itself on the point of the new govern ment Penthouse. He also pointed out to us the graveyard where lie the vic tims of the great explosion some years ago on the U. S. S Missouri" From Point Loma. with it's head in the sea one feels at the very tip end of the States. Far out there in the blue water are the Mexican Islands and to the south are the mountains of Mexi- co itself and Maine and Connecticut seem very far away
 After an excellent lunch at the Grant. an American lunch of liver and bacon and hot bread and excel | lent coffee We left San Dieeo from the new Spanish style station of the Santa Fe railroad and iourneyed back | to Los Angeles All afternoon we sat in sunny comfort on the observa- ton platform of the train. riding through this wonder country To- morrow we leave all this verdure and sunshine and prosperity and climb the mountains and cross the desert into the highlands of Arizona and see that wonder of all wonders. the Grand Canyon.

The earliest medal of the thir-

there is any record was given in
Virginia. BY an act of 1861, there
were caused to be made, possibly
in that colony, silver and plated
PLAQUES to be worn by the Indians
when visiting the settlements.
These were six by four inches in
size, and, from the inscription, are
called Patomac medals.

was fastened to a dilapidated cloth

Like the Patomac medal, 1t is
hand-wrought and carries an en-
graved design. In the center appear
the arms of England, encircled by
the garter, inscribed, Honi Soft Qui

the royal crown is engraved, while
the lower oblong bears the title
"The Queen of Pamunkey." This

began in 1860, whereas Pocahontal

GOTHENBURG, July A.
When the modern Vikings go to
sea they, use internal combus-
ton engines for power in prefer
ence to either steam or sails,
comparative statistics just pub
lished show. The motOrizatIon
of Swedish shipping is, in fact,
proceeding more rapidly than
that of any other nation. :.
OF the new vessels delivered
last year from Swedish yards,
mostly located here in Gothen-
burg, 80 per cent were motor
driven, while of the boats
launched more than IS per cent
were of that type. At the end
of the year there were under
construction in Swedish plants
nine motorships, totaling 81 ,4OO
in gross tonnage, and six steam
vessels of a combined tonnage of
5,515.
In Great Britain the MOTOR
ship tonnage under construction
last year increased from % to
80 per cent, while that in all
other shipbuilding countries
grew from 35 to Sd per cent.
