HEAD OF GULF
OF CALIFORNIA
LITTLE KNOWN
Desultory Explorations Have
Left Veritable Terra In
cognito at California’s
Very Doorsteps
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 28 (by mail).
—The head of the Gulf of California
today is almost as much of an un
known sea as it was in the eighteenth
century, when the Spanish padres,
Kino, Garces and Curar, made their
| first cruise map of it.
' This was the statement made by
ft Professor Godfrey Sykes of the desert
laboratory, University of Arizona,
recognized authority of the Gulf, in
connection with plans now under way
to build a railway from Ajo, Ariz.,
to Bay St. George, at the head of the
great inlet of the Pacific.
“In 1540-1542 the head of the Gulf
of California was explored and rough
ly mapped by the Alarcon expedi
tion,” said Professor Sykes. “In the
eighteenth century Kino and his
priestly co-explorers added to the
information; in 1829 Lieutenant
Hardy of the British navy surveyed
it; in 1851 Lieutenant G. H. Derby of
the United States topographical sur
vey carried out a reconnaissance sur
vey there, and in the ’70s Captain,
later Admiral Dewey, reported on
hydrography, meteorology and gen
eral conditions.
“Tides at the head of the Gulf are
very heavy,” continued Professor
Sykes. “Some I measured there
showed a vertical range well over
forty feet. This record is exceeded
only on the coasts of either of the
Americas by the tides of the Bay of
Fundy.
“At the head of the Gulf lies Rocky
bay, which, I am inclined to believe
•i could be developed into a shipping
port for Southern Arizona points.
“In 1862 Major Ferguson, under
orders from Edward M. Stanton, sec
retary of war, led an expedition from
Tucson to the gulf via San Xavier,
Sahuarita, Arivaca, Sasabe, Altar and
the Angostino Pass to Libertad, and
reported that a railroad could be
built over the same route should fu
ture conditions warrant it.”
TRIMMING FOR GIRLS’ FROCKS
Crochet Buttons and Loops Among the
Embellishments Added to Youth
ful Clothes.
All manner of dainty trimmings are
used on frocks for the small girl. For
instance, a charming model of white
batiste had a narrow plaited frill of
flesh-tinted organdie edging the nar
row turn-down collar and turn-back
cuffs. The short bodice was made
with box plait effect at the front, each
side being edged with a frill. Pale
pink erochet buttons and loops added
a further touch of embellishment.
Many play frocks take on the lines
of a slip-on, the gown fastening be
ing at the side or both sides or at
the front at the upper part. A smart
little frock was made of plain and
flowered material. The lower part of
plain material was set on to the upper
part, the joining line being cut in tab
form, each tab ornamented by three
pearl buttons and cord loops. The
neck was square and the fastening
was at either side of the blouse front
—the closing being effected by but
tons and loops. The upper part of
the frock was of the plain material.
