That Mexico has a practically un-
broken history of its civilization for
between $4,000 and $4,000 years,
which is longer than that of any
other part of the world, was among
Mr.. Eaton s many interesting state
mentS.
Describes Conditions
Glimpses of Mexico City in the
proud days when it was Spanish
capital, its authority extending as
far as the Philippine Islands and its
position as the queen city of the
Americas unchallenged, were given.
Completing his description of
Mexico with the contrasts of its
glories with the terrible poverty,
wretched living conditions of the
poorer classes and the explanation
that in Mexico no middle class ex-
lists, Mr.. Eaton gave his audience a
well-rounded picture of our neighbor
country which will be of decided
value to all who heard him in under
standing the complex problems of
| this sister republic.
A number of interesting pictures
which Mr.. Eaton has gathered dur
ing his residence in Mexico were
informally explained by the speak
er following the lecture, which was
enthusiastically received.
; Preceding the talk, the Jenkins
Trio, composed of Mrs. Marie
Jenkins, and her daughters, Martha
and Thelma Jenkins, accompanied
by Mrs J. B. McNeece, gave sew
eral delightful selections.
During the business session, at
which Mrs. Hugh T. Osborne presid-
ed, it was announced by Mrs. Elmer
W. feald, chairman of the program
committee, that the next regular
club meeting will be held one week
later than the usual date, and will
! be in the evening. Mrs. Nab Cope
! land Lineman, prominent Los An
geles attorney and author of the
course and text book on business
and protective law for women, will
| be the speaker. Husbands of club
members will be invited to attend.
The date of the meeting is Thursday

Leaving for Munich, l visited
that beautiful city for a day. The
German Rifle League matches, the
arts and crafts exhibition and the
operate festivals are among the at
fractions which draw crowds there.
Munich has many fine buildings and
a world famous gallery of Old Mast
ers which contains the principal pie
lures of Rubens, Durer, and Titan.
Then away to Stuttgart, Germany
to the Black Forest and Lake
Constance, which forms part of the
boundary between Germany and
Switzerland. The heights of the
Black Forest have an altitude of
about 1000 feet. The principal
river is the Neckar, and the Dan
ube is another important one. The
valley of the Neckar, with its in
dustrial activity, is one of the most
picturesque regions in that country.
On the way back, l visited Leip-
zig for a few minutes while waiting
for the train, then back to Berlin.

Believing that readers of the
the account of an extensive Euro
pean trip made this summer by Les
lie A. Conn, the Press prints here
with the first installment of notes
made by Mr.. Conn on his journey
which covered over 27,000 miles
from the time he left Ell Centre,
August 20, until his return a short
time ago.
When the American Legion plans
for a European trip in the summer
of 1927 were first announced, / de-
cided that l would be in on the
party, and now that it is all over
| can say with truth that it was
well worth the time and money it
took, and was liberal education.
Leaving here on August 20 with
credentials as a member of Boyce
Aten Post, No. %, American Leg
ion, l soon found myself in Paris,
which city l decided to make my
headquarters for an independent
trip before and after the Legion
convention held in that city. AS
nearly all who read this have made
a trip across the continent, and
many are familiar with ocean voy-
ages, l will not take space to des-
cribe that part of my trip taking
me to Paris, except to remark that
| enjoyed every minute of it.
Having looked over Paris for a
day or two, 1 decided to leave the
greater part of MY Paris sightsee-
ing until the Legion arrived and i'll
the meantime would visit other
parts of Europe that l wished to
see.
From Paris / went to koln, Ger
many, and from there to Hamburg
on the North Sea coast. Side trips
to many of the smaller places in
this section occupied several days
and gave me an excellent opportuni-
tv to see very beautiful bit of
country. | noticed many graves
along the coast line and upon in.
quiry found that they were graves
of German sailors, killed in the
naval battle of the North Sea, be.
tween the English and German
fleets. The bodies floated ashore
after the battle and We're buried as
they were found.
Hamburg is very beautiful city
in addition to being one of the
most important ports in Europe, do
ing an immense amount of shipping
each year. In spite of its many ac'
tivities, it is clean and attractive.
From there l went to Berlin
spending three days in the German
capital, with a one day side trip tc
Potsdam. This latter trip started
from "Uuter den Linden, the
show street of Berlin, passed
through the "Brandenburger Tor
and the Tiergarten, the latter
world beater for parks, and so tC
Potsdam. On the return from Pots
dam we came down the Havel river
which broadens at points until 1t Is
almost a bay, wedged in between
high forest-covered hills.
The landscape along the river /:
one of the finest in northern Ger
man and includes such sights as the
New Palace, Town Castle, Military
Orphanage, Jagertor or hunter :
gate. which gives the best idea of
the shape and style of the old mil
itarv town, the New Garden and the
Marble Palace and back to the
Glienicke bridge.

MEXICO WILDLY DESCRIBED BY ARTHUR
L. EATON AT WOMANS CLUB MEETING

Mexico, with its romantic charm
and beauty; Mexico, a land of con-
frasts; Mexico, country where
everybody is very rich or very poor
that is the Mexico which was

He was introduced by Mrs. c. l..
Shaw, president of the Holtvillc
Club.
Speaking in a direct and informal
manner, Mr.. Eaton gave talk
which was remarkable for its sus-
tanned interest and fine descrip-
tions. Mexico City, with its cath
edrals and palaces lying in its
mountain trimmed setting, seemed to
appear before the eyes of the men,
bers of his attentive audience.
Comparison of Mexico's size with
tina. of other countries, and the
sta ement that its territory is as
lart.e as Germany, France, the Brit
isl sles and some of the Balkan
states combined, was made in Mr..
Eaton's introduction, and served to
give his audience definite idea of
the vast area of that country.
The diversity of Mexico's climate,
the country IS wealth, history and in
habitants were coneise1y described.

MUSIC ON

A complete program Of the music
Of Victor Herbert Is to be presented
this evening by the United States

Herbert was a most versatile and

definitely proved. by the fact that.
though heard more than any other
music by radio. yet the compost.

always find a large audience. The
program Lieutenant Benter has ar
ranged, contains mostly excerpts
from Herbert's light operas ana
