In Baa JUua ttbiipo county, Jaulornia-J . ,' By James J. Sayer We were climbing; slowly the Cuesta grade, halt way between Los Ange les and San .Francisco on tha coast line of the Southern Pacific. Tan dem engines In snake-like seeming. were worming; . around curves, up heavy grades. In and out of tunnels "California has more natural beauty than any state in the Union. X love It most or any place l nave ever visiiea. said the Titian haired girl in the seat next to mine. I was born in San Lul Obispo county and at some time In my life, I have been , of er nearly all of the roads and hills that you now see. The better I know the country the more I love it.1 I encouraged this native daughter In her enthusiasm. She has the Calif or nian's proud love of her state and the , conscious right of saying so. I was from the , Pacific Northwest and was on the third side of a 6000-mile trl- angular journey that took me via the Canadian Rockies, to Minneapolis and south to Los Angeles. I've several times experienced the Joy and satisfaction com in.g to one who returns home to the Pacific Northwest. ; This young lady was .. even enthusiastic over the Imperial val ley. I don't know it. What I've heard leaves me in doubt. IIC OLD CALIFORNIA The hills and dales, beautifully ar rayed in their brownish green, dotted with oaks and other foliage were passing In review. That peculiarly; strange, im- pinging clearness of the Southern skies helped. We ; were coming Into the ter ritory of the once famous Spanish cattle ranches that had such names as "Asun cion." "Margarita," "Atascadero." and the like. - They are all musical and reminiscent of the days when California was Mexico. My stopping' place was Atascadero, a few miles farther on, where I was to visit for a few days. I wanted to see the colony founded by K. G. Lewis, which his vision was to evolute from a cow pasture to a residential and rural center for perhaps 100.000 souls. The basic principles adopted by the founder were such , as he believed would offer the most feasible and enduring soluUon of the problem of social unrest. All colony ; movements have their in ception In the more or less well defined visions of dreamers.; Not all of them ' read the horoscope clearly. The real estate boomer's community always falls flat. The communities that are begun to bring together , In easy commission the scatterings of a doctrinaire idea, come up like aX flower, wither and die. Those that bring ' together -' people of similar trend of religious .thoughts usually last a long time. Those that are founded on practical demonstration of eco nomic er political ideas meet with as much success as their devotees ' have capital, persistence, patience and vision, il COLOJTY IX THE MAKING V tt n T jiwU mnA tt?tafc AotmmimA in their original plans to found the University Ci,ty of St Louis. They at e tempted there to hew out a new: trail in community development, home making,- and business achievement that should be both revolutionary and evolu tionary. : The story of the rise and fall of their first: movement may be found scattered through nine years of the rec ords of the postotfice department and the federal courts. . It is too long a story to make further mention of it ; sacrifice to establish certain principles - of freedom of action in the publishing . and banking lines. He was rewarded with a moral victory., Also he was reduced from a millionaire to one who was able to prevail on his friends to loan him enough money with which to ; make a start elsewhere, In California -Lewis sought to find materialisation for his dreaming. Atas r cadero colony, San Luis Obispo county; California, is in the making. i The Atascadero ranch was 20,000 ras3h ef 8J.00O acres.- With these 43,000 acres as nucleus and 1000 acres of sea beach, Lewis proposed to bring to gether the highest class of people ever brought in contact with each other, . I . ' COOFERATIOX CENTRAL IDEA ' Atascadero colony, In ; Us concept and plan of development has differed from all other colony movements, so far as I know. The central Idea is, of course, . cooperation.. Those who cast their lot with the movement from the beginning will naturally get a larger share of , the profits than those who come later, But it is not so planned that only those out of proportion to their Investment ! , 'and be parasites on the later comers. u ne ongtnai taea contemplated a " thorough survey of every foot of soil . of the colony by competent engineers and specialists.. Complete knowledge was desired of its natural resources In minerals and waters, its highest applies,. f btuty to agriculture and horticulture, the possibilities as a civic center for a 2 community of residences, the practical i.vbillty f an Industrial section. In a word, - every possible angle of the highest use 4" fulness of the project. A complete eye- tern of roads to all parts of the colony, , 10 miles long, by seven miles wide in parts, paved streets necessary to the j 1500 acres set apart for the urban cen- ter, hotels, schools, a department store building 5 were to be erected. Certain .- features of ornamentation and aesthetic appeal were designed. A water system thai should be available to every res " Idence lot and adapted to irrigation and I domestic heeds throughout the rural sec- tions was. included. '"" To put into effect these Ideas meant -'. the expenditure of much borrowed capi I' tat. the loans to be paid off as settlement V and use of the land materialised. AN IMMENSE PROJECT - . The raw land was purchased in part i,t at an average cost of 943 an acre. The Improvements contemplated provided for 7 an expenditure of 4,000,000 at least, The .Investment should be worth, when com- - pleted. $20,000,000. - v; ' It was Intended to erect and put in readiness for operation all the forms of basic improvements essential to a v., going concern before any one - should be allowed to purchase any part of the . tract or enter upon it. That was seven years ago. .... The survey Was made and plans pre J pared and much work done. But the world war called a halt in long time - financing a project not essential to vlc j tory.

Whatever improve ments are in progress are a part of the original scheme of things. The original vision of Lewis still persists. The change of procedure was followed with out bargain or sacrifice ; sales. The cost of the contemplated improvements being spread over the entire project, the selling price of each parcel of land or residence lot was fixed from the beginning. ONE MAN'S DREAM Lewis is In the prime of his powers. The least of bis troubles, he says, is making money. He started out with the opportunities and : the natural facilities for growing rich, that were possessed by Daddy "Drew" of early Wall street days, but with this difference. He chose Instead the idea, not of making money for himself alone, but of giving others an opportunity to prosper with him. They must take the chance with him. in part, however. They must trust abso lutely to his leadership. They will suc ceed or fall with him. One man told me of his interview with Lewis. ( Mr. Lewis." said this man, "you have $10,000 of my earnings Unvested - with you, Tou had It before I even saw Atascadero Or knew just exactly where It was on the map. I have been looking over the colony in the past few days. I tto not see anything that makes me feel that I have not invested well and safely. I'll tell you what I'll do, however. I'll give you $100 right now to ' know how you succeeded in getting me to Invest with you." This man s. experience is typical. Lewis has a personality that Invites con fidence, and creates enthusiasm in the things he . is doing. Men and women are easily persuaded to trust their ma terial present in the future that he holds out to them. ALLIED ENTERPRISES The Atascadero cow ranch Is 'the ground on which this ' empire stands. This is the medium by which the whole undertaking keeps Its feet on the ground. Other activities which are a part - of the geiferal . movement are graphite mines in Mexlcoj oil and shale ventures in Montana, a ' chemical 9 engineering plant at Oakland, a, magazine and pub lishing enterprise at St. Louis, a dehy drafting plant, a sawmill, newspaper and publication plant at home; All of these irons are already in the fire. All of them are going enterprises. At the moment, Lewis Is concentrating his energies on paying off all the indebt edness against each of these many under takings, j When this can be done they will be turned over to the commonwealth of Atascadero colony to be operated for the joint benefit of the shareholders in the entire enterprise.' The whole is to be governed with executive, adminis trative and : legislative scheme of the United States' of America as a working model. It isato be a demonstration of real American! sation. It one, while evening approaches, sits on . one ot the many vantage points of Pine mountain, one can see for him self much that has been done and be easily led ' to believe that ' the entire scheme of things will some day become a fact accomplished. The charm of the natural setting urges one oh In his belief. 1 , On the hills farthest away, where the oaks are not, growing almond trees are bearing their fruits and forcing them selves into the landscape. The many hills and valleys, that intersect or meet each other, all of which are possible of cultivation, show here and there the results of seven years of hard work. .Pear trees will grow best here, one la told ; peaches there. : Apricots, berries, apples, plums, garden spots, flower beds for seed are each In the particular places set apart for them according to. demands of the soil and climate. The actual demonstration ; is apparent on , every hand. PERSPECTIVE INYITINO There, before you. Is the civic center. The administrative building, an orna mental structure, stands out most prom inently. At each corner of the central plot a fountain is playing. In the per spective . the cement bridge, a link in the Paclflo highway. Beyond the central piece is one of a series of statu ary groups that will enhance, the beauty of the whole. A school house of attrac tive design, a structure that for the present houses the d partment store and hotel, the publishing hotise, and a theatre are in plain view. At every vantage point, almost hidden by surrounding oak trees, one elimnses attractive homes. well kept lawns and a profusion . of flowers. ;.. - - - There are at present 4800 people living at the colony, eitheri In the residence district, in the' gardens or out on - the orchard lands. They are Of the beet type of citizens that one could desire to meet.'' - There ; are many more non-resident .member of the colony . than resident. The malls bring inquires from all farts of the world , where English is sr "ten. A day's letters from members and t ,at terlng inquiries will contain a collection of stamps that will make an honest philatelist burglarize the envelopes. . SCHEME OP OPERATION " . There are several thousand people in terested, in -this Atascadero movement They may have a life membership, whkh costs $10 and small annual dues. They may have Invested in the capital shares of the colony holding corporation. Buca funds are in the nature of capital loans. They bear Interest and share pro rata in the profits of the combined , activities of the colony. The employes, after a given number of years, are entitled to a pension and subsequently to share in the increments which come to successful enterprises, and which in an ordinary Undertaking are ail absorbed by the owners. - Other members are those Who " "'"""s euiswiien) inousirioysiy ana I putting their surplus funds in payrc.t. are working elsewhere industriously and V f -iS." yy. t " - - - - - " y ii Ff.X'-" otV'V4" ;r TOm - o z ifVi-'j K f - f .

The colony movement is rapidly ! passing the stage of a one man proposition. It would be a senous reflection on he capabilities and adapt abilities of those already on the ground if they are not able to "carry on" the work. . j - ' ' m I : Stiaveless Career " Saves Man $5000 i Santa Fe, Kan' Aug. 2L-r(S.

' Sandy, Or., Aug. 21 On Sunday last, .at a romantic spot on the old Oregon trail, near the Sandy river bridge, a picturesque picnic wedding was held Which united in marriage Mrs. Myra Revenue of J Sandy and August Hoernicke of j Portland. The Rev. L B. Trullinger of' Portland performed the ceremony in the presence of 60 relatives and close friends of the contracting parties. The service was simple, but impressive. The deep bank of the Sandy, which is a part of the old Revenue donation claim, formed the background of natural green ery for the scene. A long table laden.. with the wedding feast - stood ready under the shade of cedars. Quiet, cool, restful were the fairy-like surroundings as the participants stepped from their car and were escorted to the spot chosen on the historical trail.

In Poland parental control Is very strong, almost patriarchal. To .this day no daughter uses the familiar "thou" to either father or mother 5 the third per son is always employed. Thus a girl will say : "Did mother call V "Does mother say. I may go out?" The direct form of address is considered not only impolite, but insubordinate. The mother's authority te supreme. A Polish 'girt may die of a broken heart, but she will rarely 'marry against her mother's wishes. A FLAMING CONSTANCY Generally speaking, and unlike the American, French or Kngllsh, the polish woman loves her husband more- than her children. Capable of intense pas sion, she has a flaming, constancy which domesticity cannot dulL , The Russian woman is amorously ven turesome : she changes her lover with her inclination. The Slav woman has a fidelity which outlasts all. disillusion. The national proverb, "Fire and straw," does not ap ply to her ; she is steadfast in her af fections as in her ambition. . 1 The Slav woman dominates her hus band and her household, not Only in family affairs,' but in concerns of wider issue. She is not in the least aggressive : your Polonaise is a most feminine per son and understands the full importance of charm. . She has always played a leading rote in politics. "Germany's worst enemy is the Polish mother," said Bismarck, and in Russia as in German: Poland it was the mother who kept the flame of patri otism burning. ; , "SAT FOR SEVEN TEARS While I. was In Warsaw I met a lady who had lost three sons In her country's cause. Two of them were shot In the insurrection of 1905 -and one, a boy of 17, had been , exiled to Siberia.

It was a letter that made her fortune, it wasn't a love letter. Love letters seem to be going out and business let ters coming in. Smitten pairs do most of their, love making by telegrams and telephones, as we who have waited, to send telegrams or heard oft repealed ''line's busy" can unhappily testify. The girl told me about the letter. She Is a small, wiry woman -who seems to be strung on finely 'balanced wires with every wire doing Its work. She has black hair as smooth as satin and dark eyes that flash messages from a con stantly i active brain.! : She has been elected to a high office in. one of the largest banks In the country. I got my start- through a letter of application I wrote," she said. ,I had been graduated from college and had taught school for several years I was enjoying, life and hadn't thought that anything would change materially in my life, when suddenly it became necessary to earn more than I could in the school room, - It had been , necessary only to earn my-pln money. Now I had to earn the wherewithal for rental and growing bills and clothing bills, not only for my self but for others, so I wrote -the let ter to a large business house. To my great Joy I received a reply, i The letter asked nie to call. The manager re ceived me and said : 1 wrote .to call be cause you sent me the best sates letter of servioes I had ever read.' j We had a lS-minute talk and I was engaged. That was the beginning of the business career I have been so happy and fortunate as to have." "No, I can't quote the letter. I can't recall any ot the phrases In iU But I do remember two of its characteristics. knew something about the Institutions and I had carefully considered what qualities I had utat wouia be useiut to the firm. I bore down hard on tnose qualities and I tried to say all that was necessary about ray fitness for the Job in one paragraph. But you may be sure every sentence glowed with what .

But I talked of my self as I would about the coal I had on hand if I were a coal dealer or the cabbages if I Were a green grocer. - I made the letter as short as I could without leaving out afly essential facts. I kept it within : a page. A long busi ness letter Is usually a mistake. One should Write a letter that is easy read ing, yet every sentence should glow with truth as the headlight of an engine glows In the dark.

UDrary Baleemanshln has come to be a broad J general term meaning success. "This is a bit of wisdom I picked up on the subject from the. head of a great advertising company. , Said he, 'The best rules I've ever seen for a letter of application I've lust ordered pasted In our largest office.' He showed me a copy of the recipe for a letter that-wlns, "There are four Important functions of a letter of application. They should be employed in this order: : First, gain the attention of your reader. Second, i create the desire for your services. . "Third, convince, the reader of your ability. - "Fourth, start action In your case. "Then he told me of a letter that had won a young man a job in his com pany. The young man had begun with the remark t We can all do several things after a fashion, but few of us do more than one thing thoroughly well. can convince you that I can do one thing to your satisfaction.' He had gained the attention of his reader. Next he told him what it was that he could do well. He pot It in two sen tences but . In a terse and memorable way. He had tried to create a desire for his services and he succeeded. "Third, he told briefly of the posi tions he had held in other companies and enumerated his achievements. That convinced the reader of his ability. "The last point wfls to 'start action is hi case.' - I shall be In ryou town for three days next week. A letter or telephone to the Lake hotel will reach me on and between the dates. May 6 and May 9. I believe that a 10-mlnute talk will re ature. She did not seem to think she had done anything out of the common. "Sitting" is the euphemism tor having been to jail. I remember a charming woman telling me with a radiant smile : "I was sitting for seven years for writ ing a history of Poland." In Poland politic is not allowed to In terfere in household efficiency. The Slav woman, whether peasant or intelligent sia, is a wonderful manager; she has the French capacity for bargaining and is a born cook. There 'are no cakes In the world as. nice as -those they make in Poland- . I While her political . emancipation - Is complete, socially hr liberty is curtailed. Before - Poland regained her Independ ence, revolutionary leaders included women, ahd- at the present moment women members sit- in the Polish parlia ment. ' i . CAN'T DINE WITH MAN " But. while it is regarded as a matter of course for a girl to meet all sorts and conditions of men at any hours of the day of night for tolitlcal purposes. It was and Is Impossible for an unmarried woman to go to dinner with a man un less they are affianced, and a young Slav girl does not !d ream of having an ice or a glass of tea with a boy friend. This I think, is the effect of Russian rule. The1 polish woman has an extraor dinary fascination! for the Russian, and the official and .military cast al ways tried their utmost to gain access to the homes of Ihe Poles. .No patriotic woman would speak to a Russian unless she were compelled and, as a conse quence, her attraction was intensified. Essentially democratio In tempera ment, the 'countess and the chamber maid meet each -other without any of the . social embarrassment of Xlngllsh women. ' 1 The Slav womantof the peasant class has an instinctive j eye for color. Her costumes, varying 31m each district,; are the most beautiful) In Europe perfect settings for the dark haired, dark eyed, white skinned -type. common throughout Poland, with an occasional variant of red-brown hair and blue eyes. . 1 . The taste of the Intelligentsia In dress Is not bo good. In winter they wear mag nificent furs, with picturesque small caps, but in summer they rather over load their gowns with color and their hats are not of the jParisian variety. The polish woman has very small and well shaped feet.

If we think loosely, disconnectedly by hap hazard processes, bur letters prove It. If we think directly, forcefully, driving hard on essentials bearing down, as the banker girl said, on them, eliminating the Unnecessary, the possible'-partner or employer will recognize this. - ! A vague letter saying you need work does not 'stand out." It is common place. It creates no desire ' to ' see the writer, rather one to avaoid him.
