ENTERTAINMENTS
Some Noted Men Have Addressed
Greensboro People.
The lectures and entertainments
which the summer residents enjoy at
Lake Caspian are not less variad than
the scenery which the lake and noun
tains afford. They range from the
highest type OF cultural lecture, de-
livered by such men as DIR. Bliss
Perry of Harvard, Judge Wendell
Phillips Stafford of Washington, ID.
c., and George b. Maloln, associate
editor Of Everybody's Magazine.
through various forms OF musical en-
tertainments to the minstrel show.
Among the summer campers at
Greensboro there is a large number
of people of unusual musical ability,
the male quartette, the mixed quar-
tette, the double quartette, the
chorus, the orchestra, the string
quartette, and soloists, both vocal
and instrumental, furnish music both
sacred and secular, Of a quality taht
is not excelled by many professional
organizations. The regular musical
entertainment is one of the features
of the season. Another is the play,
sometimes pastoral, sometimes a
drama, and sometimes a minstrel
show, in which young and oil, Btaid
college professors, judges, business
men, college students and towns
people vie with each other in the dis
play of histrionic talent.
The purpose of the various lectures
and entertainments is mot simply
amusement. The proceeds are de-
voted to benevolent uses, such as the
church work OF the village, the pub
lie library or the Mountain View
Country club. One OF the most bene-
fetal results is In fostering and pro-
noting the social and democratic
spirit so characteristic of the cos
mopolitan community that gathers
every year on these shores OF Lake
Caspian.

 Without the confines of the stale descriptive article the climate of the Salt River Valley can probably best he treated by the introduction of some predatory remark upon the eli matic characteristics of Arizona. ly- ing wholly within tine area popufariy knOr,E. as the Arid Southwest"
 Without the confines of the state il is far from a matter of common knowledge that Arizona possesses cli- natic features more diversified than any other section of the country. not excepting Southern California, whose interior valleys are but a continual lion of Southwestern Arizona In fact. it may be safely asserted that q considerable portion of the actual residents of the state little realize the extraordinary range in climate and would be surprised by a state ment that more difference exists be- tween the mean annual temperature of Flagstaff and that of either Yuma. Phoenix, or Tucson. than between Boston and Jacksonville, Chicago and New Orleans. or Portland. ore, and San Diego.
 tAA~ SAtdl hlNtISi IS uuP OOIn 10 yeogra phical location and to varied topography. Geographically, the state Hes well to the south and without The region of storm tracks: in alti- tndes II ranges from a few feet above sea level to habitable plateaus hay -ng an elevation of more than 1000 feet, topped by mountain peaks sev- efal thousand feet higher, and i'm I,1. lain ranges over its entire extent The abrupt and decided changes in temperatures common to the eastern and the more northerly western sec uons are infrequent occurrence, and, relatively. the temperature advances and recedes gradually with the pro- sress of the seasons. For the state as 9 whole, altitude is the most i'm portan factor affecting both the tenn Deratures and the precipitation of the various localities. To further emphasize the effect of topography upon the climate within narrow areas II might be cited that the Weather Bureau maintains two stations at the Grand Canyon not two miles apart and have nearly as much diff ference in temperature as that be- tween New York City and Jackson vile. Fla. Again. the flora will ire quently furnish mute testimony to these marked differences within sur prisingly small distances. At var ious points in the southern half of the state. within from 15 to 30 min utes' drive by automobile, one can bass from the region of the sub trophical mesquite and giant cactus to the oaks and pines of the tenn perate zone.

as obtains in those sections of the interior southwest of which the Salt River Valley is representative.
 It will be noticed that no aIlusion was just made to the summer months whose soaring daytime temperatures are heraldee abroad in terms of three figures and no doubt are re- garded with something akin to hor- TOT by all who have not passed a summer here. The omission was intentional and to the end that an account of them may be pre- luded by the admissions that the summer is long, the sun shines hot, and that the afternoon extremes may reach 100 degrees or more for days or even weeks at q time With this, the worst is said, for, surprising as 1t may seem, one pursues his way during these hot months with as little heed and discomfort as attends the average summer day in the middle west or upon the Atlantic seaboard. Furthermore the sleepless nights and attending lassituGe or the utter eX- haustion and possible collapse ex- perienced whenever the temperature in the more humid sections mounts
 
 few consecutive days are here prac- tically unknown. Excluding the au- tumn and spring. one can find many here who actually prefer the sum mer to the winter climate. A study of the records for relative humidity, sensible temperature. and the range between the night and the day will readily show why the seemingly ap- palling maximum temperatures com mon here in summer are really quite as endurable as those of from 15 to 20 degrees lower in more humid re- gions.
 It is proposed, however, to deal sparingly with actual data. The story of the climate can well be told by some account of how we live and dress and what we grow. A state mcnt that oVercoats are never the rule upon the streets and are little worn except in driving; that there are many here who neiher possess

Geographical Location Gives Summer Climate The Year

and east, in portions of Coconino, higher elevations, the summers are cool. frosts have been known to oc- cur ill every month of the year, iieavy snow lies on the ground much of the winter, and temperatures of from l5 to 20 degrees below zero are not unusual.
 Moderated by an elevation aver aging approximately HOO feet, in climate the Salt River Valley is intermediate between the extreme southwestern and the southeastern sections In common with the greater part of the state, it is a land of ex- cessive sunshine and extremely low relative humidity, the essential fac tors that have given it's climate wide spread and justifiable fame as bene- ficia in pulmonary, asthmatic, and rheumatic affections. At Phoenix, centrally located in the valley, the official record shows that the dur ation of sunshine averages approxi- mately S4 percent of the amount possible, that there is an annual av- craze of 161 days with 100 percent sunshine. 267 days with 80 percent or more, 16 days with less than 20 percent, and an average of only four days in the year when the sun does not appear.
 Winter days are mostly bright and sunny. and the temperature at night infrequently reaches the freezing point The history of the few re- latively cold spells that nave occur red shows that but one has been Hnown in which the temperature fell below 20 degrees and that in about half of the years the lowest winter extreme is above 25 degrees. In most cases, also. freezing temperatures are of such short duration in the morn ing hour as not to endanger the staple agricultural and horticultural products of the valley.
 Altogether, the autumn. winter, and spring months are delightful There are occasional spells of disagreeable weather. but it would be difficult to point out any other locality with so high percentage of pleasant days

Climate Of Valley Leaves
 Nothing To Be Desired

over the lowlands of the extreme southwestern section, but little above sea level. the summer daytime tenn peratures appear torrid in character often during the hottest months reaching a maximum of from 100 to no daily for long periods, while ex- tremes of 120 degrees or above are not infrequent. owing to the re- lative dryness of the atmosphere however, and the resulting cooling effect from rapid evaporation. the temperature actually felt by animal life is many degrees lower. As in all arid sections, radiation is rapiG, resulting in an excessive range be- tween the day and the night eX- tremeS, and for this reason, even in the hottest weather, the nights are generally comfortable. A daily ranga in temperature of 40 degrees or more is not unusual In this section the temperature seldom falls below the freezing point. and the winters are delightful
 This. too. is the region of least rainfall the annual average being be- low five inches. The annual precipi- tation increases with increase of all titude. eastward and northward, av- craging from II to IT inches over the southwestern counties and above 70 inches at the higher levels of the east-central and northern districts,
 In the southeastern counties the summer heat is not so intense. and the winters are slightly co6ler But little snow falls in winter, except upon the higher peaks, and the low est temperatures are well above zero. To the northward, in the mountain regions of the central portion of the state, the summers are still cool CT, the winter extremes frequently fall below zero. and heavy snowfall occurs at times. Still farther north

 Nowhere in the West, can more beautiful homes be found than in Phoenix The California bungalow. considered the acme of home comfort has been exoelled, and the essentials enlarged upon. For the family desire to make this city their home for the winter. these bungalows are to be rented fully furnished at a moderate price. For those preferring hotels or an apartment home, the accommodations offered could hardly Ge equalled in a city twice as large.
 The city schools of Phoenix, are said to be the most up-to-date in the west. Only few days ago, q noted lecturer of the East, said in an address before an audience

of Phoenix citizens, That the sight of the wonderful schools you have erected throughout your city, makes one want to come back and entrust the education of his children to them. The corps of well paid and satisfied teachers, devote their eff forts to the upbuilding and the phy- sical education of their pupils as well 2s to the mental.
 The wandering tourist seeking en- vironment different from any to be found in the old eastern states, or in Europe or Asia. will be sure to be satisfied. A few hours ride in either direction from the city will take one to the desert, to the Apache reser vation, with it's wonderful colony. it's great variety of semi-tropica growth and it's marvellous mountain hack ground.

Phoenix as a winter resort? Yes why not Phoenix as the leading win ter home town in the United States. Where else can a city boast of q winter climate that produces barely one day during that season. in which the sun does not shine. True there are days when it is not much in evidence, but it is most ex- ceptional day when few hours of warmth giving rays do n0t glad den the valley.
 With an average temperature in tke winter time of 69.4, the absence ot damaging frosts, and tropical verdure coupled with green lawns throughout the winter season, Phoe- nix indeed is the Mecca of the wan dering pilgrim searching for the ideal spot in which to escape the rigors of a northern winter.

things were clear to all men and Tor
