eter rings all the changes in the twelve
hours, instead of twelve months was a
hard blow to great expectations.
Now, however, that know the truth,
AMI understand the why's and where
in Southern California year. and each
day like it more and more.
When one realizes that the variations
in temperature in California occur at al
most the same hour each day; that the
breezes come and go, like a railroad
train, on time, then one can be prepared,
and after the first shock of acclimatiza-
ton is over, be in position to make the
most of the joyous days which come and
go, divided only by the curtain of the
night. 1t is truly Italy! Peace reigns
and nature is relatively equal minded,
whether on high aspiring mountains or
in the sweet, smiling valleys of Califor-
mia.
Fogs? Yes, there are fogs occasion
ally, and at certain seasons quite often.
But, with very rare exceptions, they are
dissipated before 10 a. m. They are a
benefit, too, rather than otherwise, fur
nishing much needed moisture. Those
who are sick should, of course, remain
indoors until the glorious sun has
cleared the atmosphere. This done, go
out of doors, live close to nature and be
happy. OF course you can if your con-
science is clear But remember that Wig
ilance is the price of health in California
as it is anywhere else.
During the long, dry summer season
O bit of grass would be very grateful
to the eye, you say? Yes, indeed; that's
so. Well, irrigation and labor will bring
it-have brought it in many places, even
during the hottest weather. Nature is
kindly, but wants no drones in the Cali
fornia hive, and she repays ten times
all loans made her, although an i'm
mediate return is not always-Sllowed.
This is due, though, to the unwillingness
of the laborer rather than to unwilling
elements But it should be remembered
that spring begins here in December,
and, after the life-helping rains begin,
the whole country blossoms and blooms
in rich profusion; flowers and bowers
dot the country.
1t might be said of California with
more truth than of the City of Washing
ton that it is place of magnificent dis
tances. Few realize it's real size until
they travel through it from north to
south. Think of a state as large as
the whole of New England, with New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
added! Well, such is California, with
a thousand miles of seacoast. 1t is al
most as far from San Diego to San Fran
cisco as from Cincinnati to New York
city.
California is known in the east be-
cause of it's prolific gold mines, big trees
and abundant fr>ft. But far more inter-
esting to me are the incidents connected
with it's early history, it's discovery and
colonization. The old, old missions es-
tablished by the Franciscan padres come
before one like echoes from the long
forgotten past. Indian, Spanish and
Mexican life, musical and gay. grotesque
and quaint, sobered by the efforts of the
sincere and peaceful church fathers.
Yes, California is the land of romance
and poetry.-Bcy Blue in Cincinnati
