TWELVE miles from Pasadena. in the Sierra Madre mountains, lies Mt. Wilson. At the top of this fam- ous peak, over a mile in height, lies the greatest astronomical center of the worldg a collection of telescopic equipment, manned by competent scientists whose only desire is to serve mankind, and to explain the myster- ies of the universe as much as is hu- manly possible. D IRECTLY associated with the Mi. Wilson Observatory, due to his position as Chairman of the California Institute of Technology, Dr. Robert A. Milli- kan, whose discoveries in physics have earned for him the Nobel Prize, makes his home in Pasadena, where the lnstitute is located. The word Pasadena means Crown of the Valley, the city being located at the head of the fertile valley of San Gabriel. To the northeast are Mt. Lowe and Mt. Wilson, with the foothills rising to meet them in a beautiful ascent. Mr. Orrin White has portrayed in a remarkably excellent manner the varying shades of green and light blue merging into violet that tint the hills near his beautiful home by the Arroyo Seco. Against this background he has included the Sacred Heart Acad- emy owned by the Sisters of St. Dominic, and formerly the Flintridge Hotel. This picturesque building overlooking Pasadena and Altadena stands out whitely against the vivid coloring of the hills, its red roofs brilliant in the last rays of the late afternoon sun.
