CALIFORNIA !!
!. E hSyN E.NuaERo :
CAPITOL PARK

Capitol Park, one of California s
priced possessions, surrounds the
Capitol building in Sacramento and
consists of 33.05 acres of beautiful
trees and rare botanical specimens.
The trees and plants from all parts
OF the world make this park one of
the most unique in the United
States.. The first four blocks were
donated by the city of Sacramen-
to, and the other twenty-one acres
were bought by the state in 1876
through the Capitol Park Commits
sion. All types of trees can be
found here. from date and fan palms
and Deodar cedars of the Himalaya
mountains, to gum, rubber and silk
oak from Australia. There is an
interesting grove containing trees
from Civil War battlefields, and
another of three acres used exclu-
slvely for California flora.
In what years were the laws pass
ed in California prohibiting hurdv-
gurdying, gambling and dueling'
The constitutions of 1s49 and 1879
provided for the disfranchisement of
persons guilty of dueling, and the
law passed February II, 1872. made
both dueling and gambling crime
punishable by Imprisonment. 1t has
been amended twice. There is no
state law regarding nurdy- -gurdying.
Does Tia Juana, on border be-
tween California and Mexico, mean
"Aunt Jane:"
That is the correct translation of

and were looked to and respected by their consttu

and stable section OF the community.
Nowadays, he finds, OF this type not willing
to devote and strength to the service OF town and
state. The not following the fathers For
some reason other, they content to leave the
management of public affairs to those who have neth-
er the capacity nor the moral fiber to govern
We know well enough how that is here IN America,
which has probably lapsed farther from the old stan
dards of public life than England has.
Nothing can he unfortunate for the political
life of country than to be drained of its best men,
We still have good men in public service, with small
communities probably preserving the old traditions
better than large But the is surely much
lower than it was generation two ago.
Men of light and leading who formerly would have
gone into public service matter of course now
tend rather to serve in business professional llfe
Good men can render good service there, but if bust

 HIS LATEST TRIP
Relates Incident of Being Forced
 Down at Sea
(BY FRANcEso DE P1NEDo.,

\b1 chlANCESO DE PlNEDO.)
 Horta, Azores Islands, June 30 (UP)-After leaving Trepassey on May 23 for the first hour the wind was favorable. It then changed to east northeast. when we were oblig- ed to fly over fog bank for about 400 miles. The wind had velocity 30 to 50 miles an hour and was partly against us. After passing the fog bank the wind was southeast and against us when we flew at low altitude.
 Owing to strong winds our speed was reduced to one-third so we found our gasoline supply was insuf- ficient to reach the Azores. Under normal conditions our supply was sufficient to take us to Ponta Del gada-
 In latitude fill north and longi- tude 33.54 west, I decided to land on the ocean to wait lighter and more favorable wind hoping to reach at least Flores.
 Near the landing spot where there was three masted Portuguese sail- ing ship en route to the Banks of Newfoundland for cod fishing. He came to our assistance and after difficult maneuvering for about three hours, passed a rope by means of small boat. The sea sat the time was dangerous for us. The small boat took us on board the Portu- Suese fishing boat Infanta Sarges and lowed us in direction of Flores. (Westernmost of the Azores group.)
 On the same night we met steamer which communicated with us by Morse signals, but we were unable to reply.
 The following day the conditions of wind and sea were the same. On the 25th the barometer fell good deal and we hove to. The storm and the high waves damaged the tail and controls of the machine.
 On the morning of the 18th the tow rope broke and while picking up the Santa Maria the Italian steamer Superga, which was looking for Us, appeared and offered his as- sistance which we accepted.
 The wind shifted to north west, but owing to sea conditions we were unable to tow the machine with the wind astern owing to danger of breaking the tow rope. Again, when trying to attach the tow rope to the Santa Maria, owing to the heavy seas it was impossible to get close to the machine and Second Officer Martini of the Superga, jumped into
