has been gone from his great
hotel many weeks, but his spirit
still pervades the vast public
rooms, the fiower-scented court
yards, the dim calm of the chapel.
A few days ago hundreds of
Riverside folk gathered on the
summit of Mount Rudidoux at the
foot of the cross Frank Miller had
had erected there, and held a me-
mortal service. In the distance
could be seen Evergreen cemetery,
softly emerald through the rosy
mists of the late afternoon. But
to the throng on the mountain
top it was only Frank Miller's
body that reposed in the park-like
graveyard. His real self was with
them-indomitable, brave, kindly.
His monument was the great
building whose Spanish towers
stood out boldly against the dark
ening eastern sky. Just as the
service ended, the chimes of the
Mission Inn sounded family across
the valley, and single light shone
from a window high in the Cam
panile.

Take Your Desert Heat With "Grain Of Salt"

1.-THE body needs salt" says DR..
Shoudy. Sixty per cent of the
blood salts are common sodium
chloride, or table salt. If a man
who has lost much salt by per-
spring, drinks large quantities of
water, he dilutes what salt re-
mains in his body fluids and
causes water intoxication.
1--WE have found that heat ex-
haustion and its severity can be
decreased by giving men tablets
of salt and sugar mixed while
they are working under intense
heat. These tablets should be
made available at drinking foun-
tains."
So, you see - sure 'nuf, you
take your desert heat with "a
grain of salt"

the greatest honor that monarch
can bestow on a foreigner. Citi-
zens of Riverside built stone
peace tower as a lasting memo
rial to the master of the Inn" on
the slopes of Mount Rubidoux at
the western edge of the town.
He completed the final wing of
the hotel, a massive concrete
structure containing an art gal
lery, chapel, a ballroom and a
series of courts of the nations
topped by a strikingly-beautiful
tower.
Mr. Miller's body was failing,
but his intellect remained vigor-
GUS. The last weeks of his life
were given over to furthering
plans for a civic center for River
side, and to devising a method
whereby his hotel, the work of
his life, might continue to func-
ton as when under his direction.
A few days after Mr.. Miller's
death last June, his will was filed
in the Superior Court of River
side County.
1t named a board of trustees
that for ten years is to operate
the great hostelry. Members of
this board, which since that date
has been conducting the Mission
Inn, are Mrs. Allis Miller Hutch
ings, Mr.. Miller's only child;
Frank Miller Hutchings, his 81
year-old grandson; Marion c. Mil
ler, his widow; M. j. Westerfield,
a Riverside job printer, a friend
of many years; William G. Her
bert, head bell man of the hotel,
who has been on the staff almost
lifetime; w. G.. Irving, his Riv-
erside attorney; and Harry Chan
dler, one of his dearest friends,
the millionaire publisher of the
Los Angeles Times.
In his will Mr. Miller asked this
board to conduct the Mission Inn
so that my vision and dream for
the hotel shall be carried on to
the end that the spiritual as well
as the material needs of the guests
within our walls be served"

record which it has held for many
years.
The elder Miller obtained a
square block of land in the center
of the dusty. sparsely-populated
settlement and built on it an
adobe house.
A year or SO later the peace of
a starlit autumn evening was
broken by the changing of the fire
bell. The volunteer firemen clat-
tered to the village hotel. Flames
mounting high from the ram
shackle wooden structure made
the night light as day.
Frank Miller ran from the sup
per table and stood staring in fas
cination at the cracking, blazing
mass of debris that had housed
strangers who came to Riverside.
1t was perhaps the most impor-
tant hour of his life, one that was
to decide the destiny of his future
years. But to him it was only an
exciting incident-a big fire.
Some capitalists of note and in
fiuence were to visit the town the
next day. The choicest rooms of
the now smouldering hotel had
been reserved for them. Civic
leaders realized that suitable
quarters must be found for them.
Somebody mentioned that Mrs.
Miller was a model housekeeper.
A delegation placed the situation
before her. She readily agreed to
provide lodging and board for the
distinguished visitors.
The guests arrived, important,
assured, prosperous. Frank took
their handbags and showed them
to their rooms with an alacrity
and a warming smile that made
them instinctively like the bright
lad.
That was the beginning of
Frank Augustus Miller's career
as a hotel man. It formed the
genesis, also, of a hotel that was
to become known and loved around
the world.

lers' adobe house became River
sides Inn.
It was not long before the adobe
dwelling was too small. A wooden
structure hideous in the archi-
lecture of the day = was built
around the unpretentious home.
The whole-souled cordiality, the
genuine comfort that were to be
found at the Glenwood Inn, as it
was now known, attracted pa
irons from the entire West. Tour
lists began to pour in from the
East and Middle West. The wooden
hotel had to be enlarged.
Then the frame building = all
but the little adobe nucleus, which
to this day remains-was razed.
It's place was taken by Spanish
mission type of structure contain
ing $50 rooms and surrounding
a patio. The Glenwood became the
Mission Inn.
Frank Miller was now the owner
of an important luxury hotel to
which wealthy guests came from
every state in the Union and sew
eral foreign countries. But the
master of the Inn" remained as
simple, as friendly, as sincerely
pleased at welcoming his guests
as was the wide-eyed STRIPPING of
the old adobe house.
Countless millionaires regis
tered at the Inn. Four presidents
of the United States accepted its
hospitality. The crown prince of
Sweden was only one of the roy
alties who were its guests. In

suite of orchestral numbers which
he entitled, "On Mount Rubidoux."
The patronage of the Inn had in
creased to such an extent that
more rooms must be provided.

tural inspiration from the home
land of Father Junipero Sierra,
whom he greatly revered, went
to Spain and returned with the
idea of building program that
was to include a cloister music
room, a colorful patio dining room,
and several floors of sleeping
rooms, all very Spanish. The
thought soon became fact. The
music room was beautiful with
stained glass, heavy carvings, and
a majestic silver-piped organ. The
patio was gay with bright avn
ings and birds of brilliant plum
age.
A FEW years later Mr.. Miller
Nmade a trip to Japan. When
he came back he was an enthusi-
astic advocate of world peace.
His years of contact with people
of all nations at his hotel long
had been instilling the idea of in
ternational friendship. The stay
in Japan, where he was honored
by being the guest of prince of
the blood royal at dinner and was
entertained in the homes of the
relatives of the japanese help" at
his hotel, impressed on him anew
the fact that all men are brothers
under the skin"
Mr.. Miller set about aiding
world peace in every way he
could. He sponsored peace essays
and oratory contests. He brought
to the hotel as his personal guests
people of many races. He organ
lied groups for the promotion of
world friendship. He took lead
ing part in the formation of the
Institute of International Rela-
tions, and each December he
threw open the hotel to its men,
bership, so that scholars and stu
dents might meet and discuss
ways of furthering peace.
Mr.. Miller was growing old
now. He had become widely known
for his work in behalf of world
peace. The emperor of Japan sent
an official delegation to present
him the Order of the Rising Sun,

a civil engineer and built the ca

much of Riverside and Riverside

The story fascinated Bill and
