q CAMDENS ARE
 FOUND IN COUNTRY
All Invited to Send Delegates to
 Jersey City

Washington, D. C, April 30 -- Mayors of twenty-one Camdens have been invited by Camden, New Jersey, to attend the dedication Of the new bridge over the Delaware river connecting Camden and Philadelphia.
 Existence of twenty-one Cam dens puts Camden" well up in the list as one of the most popular town names in the United States.
 Franklin leads the list as a fav- orite label for town" says bull letin from the headquarters of the National Geographic society. "by being repeated S1 times In 31 states.
 Franklin Vies With Camden
 The name Franklin Is a tribute to the great American of Revolu- tionary fame. Camden, too, is a tribute to a Revolutionary hero. but Camden honors an Engishman. Charles Pratt. a London lawyer, made such name for himself be- fore the bar that he was raised to Earl Of Camden. This earrs subse- quent opposition to othe tea and stamp taxes made him many friends In America so the colonists in tribute to their champion named for him towns in South Carolina, Georgia, Maine. New Jersey, North Carolina and New York, and also four counties. The other Camdens have been established by sons from the Revolutionary Camdens.
 Names Given American Towns i That. however is not the whole story of Camden. Like SO many other English names imported and scattered broadcast over the United States. Camden is a thumb-nail pie , ture of a particular little spot in

and therefore marking the home of a viking or Danish invader who settled in England.
 Some Names Misapplied
 There arc innumerable humor- ous examples in which these thumb nail geographical sketches telling about an English town have been carried over 10 the United States with no thought of whether they apply or not Windsor. England, Is on the shore of the Thames where the Anglo. .SaXons put 1t, but many Of the Is Windsors in the United States boast no more than a creek. The ca marks Chelsea, England, as once an island in the Thames mouth. which it is noA SOW Neither are Its Il brothers-b -by-name Chel- seas in the United States islands.
 Pupils in school today think they have hard time spelling many of our town and state names, They really have much to he thankful for The original names were often jawbreakers. There are four Worcesters in the United States whose silent r. is often stumbling block to the best spoilers. How much more of stumbling block is the name of he Worcesters' progenitor, 'Hwic- wara-ccaster, meaning the castle of the inhabitants of the country Of the Huiccii,' Boston was once

the name for Hastings, Nebraska, the proud title of a valiant tribe that ruled and prospered in Kent, England.
 Billings and Delaware
 Billings. Montana, has an inti- mate link with the state of Della ware and Delaware bay which is not apparent, The Billings were the arlstocratic tribe of the Narini who lived in Lancashire, Now the name Narini became in time Warnings, giving the title to Warrington, Eng land. When conquering Norman French lord came into control of Warning tribe after the invasion he became Lord de la Warr. A later holder of that title who was mado governor of Virginia explored q great bay and the shores of the bay which now bear the name of the Lords house. Delaware.

CRUMBLING RUINS WHERE MISSIONS
 ONCE STOOD RECALL OLDEN DAYS

Real, the King Road. along which are many missions, has been in- corporated into the state highway system through most of its length and mission sign posts--bells sur. mounting metal standards--have been erected at intervals to mark the trek of the padres in their journey north\, ard.
 The architecture of the missions n mixture of Moorish. Spanish and Mexican, has been adopted by Cah- fornia as its m. and each year more buildings are conforming to this style.
 First of the chain of missions founded was San Diego de Alcala near the present site of San Diego, in l76" by Father Serra and q small group of sailors, soldiers and padres. The yellowed parchment records of this mission tell the sad. dest story of all for 1t was here that the great Indian massacre took place resulting in the death of sev- eral padres and scores of neophytes.
 From San Diego Father Serra carried his crusade 10 Monterey where the MissiCu San Carlos Borro. meo was laid out. Next San An tonic de Pauda near Kings City, then San Gabriel, where bell were hung from tree branches and hos 1 tile demonst ration by Indians avert. ed when an cid painting of the Virgin Mary war unfurled,
 San Luis Obispo de Tolsa was founded in 1773 and in 1776 San Francisco de Asis was formally dedicated. Retracing their steps southward the Franciscans chose q site midway between San Diego and Los Angeles to rear another mis- sion, San Juan Capistrano.

 The task of these missionary pioneers had the wavering support of Old Spain and the slender Financial backing of the Pious fund. contributed by church leaders m Mexico.
 Indians Converted
 A century of courageous work followed the expedition that sailed for San Diego in l769. Each of the missions rose to prosperity. Untold numbers of Indians were converted to the faith and taken within the protecting walls of the stately re- ligious ..tt GkadCs,
 But all this time the missions stood Within the shadow of ultimate destruction. At frequent intervals there was rullbling in official Mexi- co and hints that the government would not stand by while it's terri tory in this part of the continent was coloniZed by the church.
 AS early as January 1881 a decree of sec l. ization was issued by the government at Mexico City. A change in governmental administra. ton prevented this being made effective but in November 1884 the act of seculariZation was adopted by Governor Figueroa.
 Prosperity Fades
 The prosperity of the missions be- gau to wither and their decline gathered momentum with the march of time, The priests and the ncophytes dropped away and one al time the structures began to de- cay Roofs fell in and drenching rains slowly washed the unprotected adobe walls back tothe earth from which they came.
