v Did yci get that
cf Ethnos" stuff that I
; mr last? Onnd-
"lctros
cut ovt lli " 7
Inted in Greek, but I didn't
uave the nerve and the print
er didn't have the type-so I
refrained. I looked it up after
wards lertl had made a mistake
but I was right. Ethnology is,
a sort of a ginnv if that's the
way you spell it expression.
It comes from a couple of Greek
words it cant help t hat, ot
course-and they mean the
study of you and me begin
ning from the time
"When vou were a tadpole and
1 was a fish.
In the Paleozioc day",
as the uoet hath it.
At least that's a f irlv libera 1
translation of what they mean.
However, I don't intend to
spend any more language on
that no sense in lingering upon
a subject after one has exhaust
ed it. But 1 must tell you all
about Archaeolgy. which is in
the same class with th-s other
ology. I said they were cousins.
They're more than that,Eth and
Arch are brother and sisters
thol'm.not sare'. which is which
as to gender. But Arch is the
study of the relics of the early
races of mankind you might
not think it Ibut its a fact. I
nosed around on the quiet for
awhile trying to find out. Then
I asked the Chief's sterigrapher
what the I mean I asked her
what it signified.- She told me
that right off the bat, but to
nake sure of it somebody dug
upa dictionary. One of those
ainky, near leather ones that
you set for sme 19 cents in real
money and about 40 000 coupons
that you cut seriatim out of a
daily paper. I got one that way
once. Got a book of songs too
-the oldest songs in the world.
The paper said they were songs
that never grow old, vintage of
the . past centurv, you know.
Vintage suggests wine, and
well, anyway if I had been writ
ing the title on the cover of the
song book I'd have said "Songs
that improve with Age." But
as was going to say when I
ran mto that open switch 1
was agreeably surpised to find
that the unpretentious diction
ary was a perfectly good book,
ft said just the same thing
that the girl said minus the
smile.
One oi the things one never
caa get back is wasted energv.
1 figure that Pm out about four
dollars worth, because while I
fussing around with those
torsbs tomes, I mean and dic
, et cetera I could just
as 'ei! have learned all about
Ifl- subject under discussion by
roliir:;.; into the Arcnaelagical
Exhibit at the San Diego Expo
sition and just rubbering. Real
ly that's how I finally did get
wise!
. - - J :now Baby Eleanor, read
ln& trie funnies in the Sunday
Plements. has just as much
tUa as if she could read the
Dr,nted matter. - Me too! 1 do
nt need the tomes when I can
see the exhibit. Come on in
an soak up some knowledge.
Some of these subiects seem
a little heavy at first, but really
lt easy to grasp them in this at
mosphere. I'm there with bells Canyon Cabrillo, stretch out low
o n now, old top, and you can concrete walls, and at the
quote m e with impunity or ver jend of these, where the extend

PROGRESS AT SAN DIEGO'S
EXPOSITION BEAUTIFUL.
San Diego, Cal. July The
casting of the heroic statuary
to be placed on the east front of
the big Agriculture Suilding,
the largest of the entire group
at San Diego's Panama Califor
nia Exposition, has been start
ed, and in a few day most of the
work will be placed.
The principle group, repre
senting the State, shows Cali
fornia standing protecting the
Indian an d encouraging the
white man in his labors. On one
side is a symbolic statue of the
influence o Latin-American civ
ilization, which started the col
inizing of the westcoist a cen
tury and a half ago, and on the
other a statue depicting the in
fluence of Anglo-Saxon and other
northern peoples whose influence
has dominated since the taking
over of the southwest by the
United States.
Another striking piece of
sculpture is already placed on
the west wing of the Agricul
ture building, over looking the
broad expanse of botanical gar
dens which surround the Botan
ical building and stretch back
to the canyons at the rear.
This is the memorial to Fray
Junipero Serra, the courageous
Franciscan who arrived in San
Diego in 1769, started the old
mission of San Diego de Alcala
and t-ien went on to the north
founding the other twenty mis
sions which rank among the
most interesting relics of the old
Spanish occupation of Califor
nia. The placing of the uniform
fountain statuary is also under
way. In each of the patios
stands a foutain almost hidien
in the rich growth of palm, and
grevillea, and bamboo, three
growths which are widely used
in the landscape work. The
fountainsarp, small and graceful,
modeled after one of the con
ventional form most used in the
old gardens of Spain and old
Mexico. Ihe consisent effort is
to have complete harmony in
all the structural and landscape
work.
While the preliminary grad ing
and landscape work is being
done on the lower plateau of the
Exposition grounds where the!
completed colony of state and j
county buildings will stand, the
plans for four of the new ouild-1
ingsare now being offered for
bids. Menwhile the ornament
al work is being placed on the
nine competed buildings along
the Pardo and certain of the
other large structures Most of
the scaffolding is down from the
San Joaquin Valley building,
which stand at the entrance to
the State section. Di rectly
across the small plaza in the
Kern and Tulare building, and
at the end of the plaza th
$10 C, 000 music pavilion will
sta nd. This is the permanent
gift of John D. Spreekles.
The Paente Clabrillo, the im
posing west entrance to the San
Diego Exposition grounds, open
ed several weeks ago for foot
traffic is now undergoing fur
ther work the laying of the
pavement. From its west end,
vust back from the brow of tYve
broad boulevard, is being erect
ed an enormous arch way. Over
the appproaching walls droop
the limbs of blooming shrubs
which filll the upper part of the
canyon, and adjoining formal
garden and the park way which
leads down the edge of the
c nyon for a half mile.
Motion pictures for which v.he
number of actors will run high
in the hundreds will be a por
tion of the historical exhibit
of New Mexico at the SanDiego
Exposition in 1915.
The photoday they make up
will be presented each day of
the year in the state building.
It tells the story of New Mexi
co's development from the early
days of the Indian through the
Spanish occupation by Coronado
in 1540, the cession to the Unit
ed State and the development
since siate hood was acquired.
2 Different sense in the photo
play are being acted bv the
people of the different com
munities, in Spanish, Indain,
and early American costumes
the picture re'quires.
Under direction of the automo
bile clubs, work on the high
ways connecting San Diego
with important points to the
north is being taker up actively
and the roads will be in good
condition bv the time the Ex
positon opens. A heavy volume
of motor tours is assured for
1915, with several thousand
inquiries from eastern automo
bilists already in. Work cn the
coast highway in Monterey
county alone involves $825,000.
Announmcemet is made by the
Salt Lake railway that 4,000
German tourists will be booked
to Southern California during
the San Diego Exposition years.
They are divided into twenty
groups, each accompained by a
guide.
Motion pictures are already
bing taken by the Fresno,
Calif, county commission in
charge of the local exhibit at
San Diego, to show the details
of peach cultivation. On one of
the big orchards pictures were
tken showing the thining of
1.6oo green peaches f.-om a
single tree in order that the
reaining peaches might reach
the top of perfection. The out
put of this orchard .for 1914 is
expected to exceed 800 ton of
fruit.

der of "life's journey; but she
did not walk alone; for her sons
ad daughters and their wives
and husbands faithfully minis
tered to her, and she had the
abiding- comfort of the Holy
Spirit. She spent much time
in the homes of her children,
where all found pleasure in
contributing to her enjoyment;
but she made her home with her
son Walter, who resides at the
old homestead, where there is
a vacant chair that can never be
filled.
Mrs. Burroughs had for many
years been a consistent mem
ber of Providence Methodst
Church. She was devout,
spiritually minded Christian.
She loved her friends and neigh

ively interest in the occurren
ces of the day. She was buried
at Prcvidence Churc 1 on Tues
day the 23 of June. The funer
al services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev Mr. Bailey, as
sisted by the writer. Many
sorrowing friends asembled in
loving memory, and this tribute
is laid upon her new madejgrave

years she honored with her tor, on or before the 4th day of
friendship. T J. TAYLOR, j June 1915, or this notice will be
