finest structures to be found along the
Pacific coast
There are many people who are
familiar with that splendid group of
buildings which housed the exposition
offered during the time of the fair at
San Francisco, by the city of San
Diego. The buildings were the work
of Carleton Monroe WinSloW. Their
beauty was SO compelling that the
favorable comment brought to them.
to their designer and to the city of
San Diego distinction that has come
to no other exhibition buildings in the
history of the world. They have been
saved intact, except for the ravages of
fire that took out one. Singularly as
it may seem, that was the lame
duck" of the lot in the view of the
designer, using a modern slang term
for emphasis in saying that it was the
least attractive. But those buildings,
to design which originally brought
Winslow from the east, stand to his
everlasting credit and to the delight
of the thousands who visit San Diego
who may ever visit the beautiful Bal
boz park. either bv the street car trip
or by walking to it. over the beautiful
prado across the canyon.
Designed McAdoo Home
But the fair buildings are only a
small group of his work. Having two
offices, one in Los Angeles and an
other in Santa Barbara, he has been
the designing architect for some of the
most pretentious residences on the
coast. Among the latter group is the
home of Hon William Gibbs McAdoo.
former secretary of the United States
treasury. School buildings have been
one of his outstanding achievements.
He designed one of the largest school
plants in the city of Los Angeles He
designed end directed the construction
of the splendid high school at Fuller
ton, Calf, regarded as one OF the
model high school buildings of the
southwest and which cost more than
$2OOO,O00 He designed the First Bap-
tist church at Pasadena, regarded as
the equal in design and appearance OF
any church in the southwest.
Mr.. Wihslow has specialized in arch
itecture of the Spanish type with GER
tain notifications to meet the climatic
and other conditions affecting the
structure desired and he has gained a
finesse in ideas and detail that has
not been excelled, in the opinion OF
persons qualified to pass upon that
point, by any architect working in
this field. Because Of these facts, the
results that will be obtained in the
construction of Geronimo Lodge will,
it is the confident view Of the COM
naittee in charge, be. such as to give
to Douglas hotel structure that will
bring distinction TO it as few cities OF
the size can boast.

Activities: It's not possible to be
real scouts and do no scouting. How
ever, the field of activities of the Eski-
mot scout must be made to fit their
environment, communal and domestic
life Regular hikes are taken under
the supervision of the Scoutmaster and
patrol leaders. These hikes are al
ways of an educational nature and
have opened the eyes of the Eskimo
boys to things in their own inlmed-
late environment, things they never
imagined had an existence. Botany,
geology, geography, zoology, ornitho-
logy, astronomy. ethnology, physiogra-
ply; map making. etc, come in for big
interest. The note book is ever pres
