Diego Union by Chester A. Johnson,
 of Bisbee, Arizona.)
 San Diego is overlooking the best bet that has been offered 1t since Cabrillo piloted his staunch little craft into the Harbor of the Sun, heaved his anchor overheard, and gave his crew 24 hours shore leave. The title of this bet is-Arizona. While San Diego is conducting huge advertising and publicity campaign throughout the middle west thousands of people in Arizona are wondering where they are going to spend the sumner months. Will they come to San Diego? Most of them will not. Why? Because they ain't been in' vited."
 Eonans than any other locality in southern California, but most Arizon- ans do not know it and few San Diegans seem to stop and think about it. The. completion of the San Diego & Arizona railway linked San Diego and Arizona-on the map-but, get ting down to cold facts, this city is not much closer to Arizona than 1t was while construction work was still in progress. When the railroad was completed, there was a furry of in terest in San Diego throughout the southwest. It has since died down. The average AriZonan is vitally inter ested in the upbuilding of his own community and he pays little atten. ton to whether San Diego becomes a great shipping and tourist center or not. The fact that San Diego can be reached without going through Los ing in Arizona, because Arizonans have almost forgotten all about the new road. It is San Diego's fault that they have forgotten, for San Diego has not been continually reminding them, as it should have been, that her railroad brings them hours and miles closer to sandy beaches and sea breezes.
 Kept In Ignorance
 There is not a single reason why nine out of 10 Arizonans should not spend the summer months in San Diego except that they are kept in ignorance of what San Diego has to offer. Their knowledge of San Diego as a vacation spot is about as clear as their ideas about the ingredients of Hungarian goulash or Article X of the league of nations covenant. When April and May roll around Arizonans begin to think about talk ing a vacation. On every corner a conversation, similar to the follow ing. can be heard:
 Well, it's getting pretty warm guess I'll be wandering over to the coast soon."
 Same here. Where are you go' ing?"
 T haven't decided yet. I'd like to go to San Diego, but I've never been there."
 Neither have l. They say it's a fine place in summer. but I don't know. I never see anything about it. "
 Neither do 1. That new road seems pretty good. but if you have to lay over in Yuma to make connec- tions I don't want any of it. Guess I'll head out toward Los Angeles; I had a pretty good time there last summer"
 Well, guess I'll try Los again, too"
 And San Diego loses out.
 San Diego's Appeal.
 Why should San Diego appeal to Arizona? Because it is the coolest and most comfortable place on the coast in summer; because it has the best beaches in southern California; because living is reasonable; because its vacation resorts are enjoyable and restful instead of being overcrowded and noisy; because it is real "homey" city aud not a conglomera-
