WATSON N THIS year of invasions of peace-loving countries, of blitzkriegs and conquests, it is somewhat ironical that one section of the United States, the only major power not yet directly involved in the second World war, should be celebrating with pageants and other ceremonies the invasion of American soil by armed forces from Europe. True, that invasion took place 400 years ago-two and a half centuries before there was a United States-and the country which these European invaders set out to conquer was occupied by nomadic tribes of savages who were far from being a peace-loving people. repeated Rice the _ stories horsemen, most troops Coronado north and east, moved on into what is now New Mexico. The Spanish leader soon learned that he was doomed to disappointment. For instead of finding the Seven Cities of Cibola with their golden streets and their jewel-studded houses, he found only the seven villages of the Zuni Indians in western New Mexico. While they were imposing in size, with great houses rising five stories high and built of adobe, stone and wood, there was no gold whatsoever in them. Pushing eastward, Coronado came to the largest city in what was to become the United States. It was the pueblo Corps, Quartermaster Corps, and other Arms and CONTACT Diet Changes Since 1917 the American publj has changed its diet by increasin the use of salads, malted milk, whole te milk, fresh fruit, canned fruit ands fresh vegetables. in USED of Pecos, which had 500 warriors who boasted os they had never been defeate But awed by the glitter and "Buy the invaders. In- stead they welcomed Coronado into their town with drums and pipes of peace and gifts of turquoise and native-woven cloth. But again there was no gold or other treasure to reward the white men for their long journey. Later the Indians of Pecos began to regret their hospitality to the strangers, so one of them, nicknamed the Turk,:was persuaded to lure these gold-hungry white men away to the northeast by versed promising years to show them the Gran Quivera, a city of silver and gold. On to Gran Quivera. Instead of starting directly for the Gran Quivera, Coronado seems to have marched south and eastward to investigate other Indian pueblos. He next turned east and pushed on into what is now the state of Texas where he marched for weeks over arid deserts and trackless prairies, constantly harassed by hostile Indians who were more dangerous foemen than the peaceful inhabitants of the pueblos. After circling around in the Staked Plain region of the future Lone Star state, he turned north to seek the Gran Quivera and As of night the falls Santa on Fe the first day fiesta, the giant effigy of ‘‘Zozobra, or Dull Care," is burned as the climax of the fireworks display. way photo.) near the present Kan., (Santa Fe rail- found-not the treasure tepees and grass lodges. It is believed that Coronado got as far east as the Palo Duro canyon in the Texas Panhandle and during his wanderings he was the first white man to cross such rivers as the Canadian, the Red, the Cimarron and the Arkansas. Disappointed again in his search for cities of gold, Coronado started back toward Mexico. His through across return journey southwestern the over the "‘panhandle"' took him Kansas, of Okla- homa, thence westward across northern New Mexico to the Seven Cities of Cibola -(the Zuni towns) again, and on westward through northern Arizona. The first white man to see the wonders of the Grand canyon were members of a detachment of Coronado's army who gazed in awe upon that vast emptiness. Retreat to Mexico. For two winters Coronado made his headquarters at Tiguex, an route with such had tra- high hopes he two ten his expedition down as one of the greatest land explorations of all time. Moreover, it gave Spain a claim to a vast new territory in the New World and established in the Southwest a civilization, many traces of which still survive after the passage of four centuries. Half a century after Coronado's expedition, another led by Don Juan Onate came into the valley of the Rio Grande and, establishing settlements all along the river, he set up his first capital at San Gabriel, six miles north of Espanola at the mouth of the Chama river. Some time between 1606 and 1610, Don Pedro de Peralta, the third governor of Spanish New Mexico, established the city of Santa Fe and this ancient city, which has been the seat of government of province, territory and state under old Spain, Mexico and the United States, is the scene of one of the most important events of ‘‘Coronado year,'' although it has been observed every year for two centuries. It is the Santa Fe Fiesta, one of the oldest continuously observed celebrations held in the United States. It commemorates the reconquest in 1692 by Don Diego de Vargas of the vast territory which had been lost to the Spanish authorities in the great Pueblo revolt of 1680. Held on August 31, September 1 and 2, the first day of the fiesta is given over to gaiety with the populace and visitors in Spanish costumes, native orchestras playing in the Plaza and dancing by the Indians from the pueblos near by./ In the evening there is a picturesque the burning of a giant effigy of ‘‘Zozobra, or Dull Care," and the queen. Sunday crowning of morning time-honored the fiesta is devoted services in the to an- cient cathedral and in the afternoon the colorful pageant of the re-entry of armored ital is De Vargas and his conquerors into the Capheld in the Plaza. That night there is a candle-light procession to the Cross of the Martyrs overlooking the city. On Monday the children hold their costume .and pet show in the Plaza, in the afternoon there is more pageantry through the Streets of the city and the climax of the fiesta comes that night with native dances and songs on the balconies of La Fonda, the leading Santa Fe hotel, dancing in the streets and finally E] Baile de Los Conquistadores (the Bal] of the Conquerors) at La Fonda. Thus for three days, Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, turns the clock back two and a half centuries just as the whole Southwest has been turning its back all this ‘‘Coronado the days of that and his mail-clad great thoughts year'"' to explorer conquistadores. I was a girl the women. In that day everyone -men and women both - thought there was some argument about it. Women were fit to do all the hard work in the world, struggled medical and the few who through law or courses invariably came out ahead of the men in class earlier.

Nothing to say schools, or politics, ness, or housing, about or busi- or morality. The only voices that could speak on these topics were those of men. In the delicate questions of their souls, of their ailments, of incomes and responsibilities, women must be guided by men. Women are not yet awake. They are still being led blindfolded through life by the all-controlling males. But at least they are stirring in their sleep, and political responsibility, being granted a short 20 years ago, has encouraged to work positions for recognition in and in statecraft. them higher Future Holds More Freedom. Twenty years! Biologically one second. In a hundred years they will only have begun to grasp the full power of their shackles and to take their rightful places as a sex, prisoned too long in a world of false conditions; conditions made by men only, and for which both men and women pay. Women are gregarious. They like community life. Generations ago young mothers would have united their interests, gotten together groups of babies, commissioned a few mothers in turn to do the tendaing, cook the spinach, watch the sleepers, and so have freed twothirds of the other mothers for seyeral days housekeeping, sewing, study and relaxation each week. But man, jealous and monopolistic, decreed that each woman should have her own little separate establishment. His business is run on a cheerful, companionable, groupunit-plan. But until some 30 years ago no wife ever touched money of her own; it was doled out to her in dollars and half-dollars, for shoes and gas and meat. She dared not even dream of a Babies club, in which she and her congenial friends and a group of happy children might share the nursery years. No, her man decreed, consciously or unconsciously, that the only companion she might have in her long tiring days was some ignorant young foreigner. Work Could Be Organized. If women's work could be organized as men's work is; with centers where small children flourished under the care of their own mothers; with a garden, a playground, a well-equipped' attic for rainy days, reading hours, music, language study, there would be happier homes, less divorce, less nerves, less psychoses. Women hunger for this economic, safe, inspiring solution for the small-years problem, but men still frown it down. They never think what it does to a wife to spend all her waking hours in the presence of three small, restless, demanding children and an Armenian girl of 19 whose great interest is the Thursday night dance.

I quote it as a perfect illustra tion of the state of vassalage in which some women unconsciously live. The man neither knew he was a tyrant, nor the woman that her life was being robbed of all its bloom. And of course the result was tightened nerves and half-conscious resentment on her part.

In 1539 the Spanish viceroy in Mexico sent Friar Marcos de Niza to check on the reports which De Vaca had heard. His guide was the Negro, Estevan, who had been with De Vaca through all his wanderings and Estevan, who pushed on ahead of De Niza, sent back glowing reports of the great cities which lay ahead and their treasures. Friar Marcos pushed on to see for himself these great cities. From a hilltop in what is now New Mexico he looked down upon adobe-walled cities gleaming in the sunlight and his imagination soon transformed these into the reality of the legendary golden Seven Cities of Cibola. Without bothering to investigate further, the friar hastened back to Mexico and his story stirred the gold lust of the Spaniards anew. Several of the leaders in New Spain fought for the honor of leading an expedition to conquer this new territory and recover the treasures of the Seven Cities of Cibola but Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was finally chosen as the lucky commander for the ven- posed ied ents ironical the who is being honored this year as a great explorer, was regarded as a failure by the powers who sent him forth.

The events which it memorializes began 44 years after Columbus discovered the New World.
