cohorts, full of praise for California

at the Arcade depot with smiles, pro-
ceeded toward the beach In the after
noon in happy frame of mind and the
smile was still there last night after
the chamber of commerce reception
The Washingtonians cheerfully adj
mitted that they had learned why Call

Buoyancy and light-heartedness went
with the climate and the climate was
free to all who came and remained.
