DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYLETTER
IT'S ALWAYS WORSE SOME
WHERE ELSE.
By DR.. William E. Barton.

THIS has been a hot summer,
Il From many parts of the world
we have had word that records were
broken for sustained and oppressive
heat. / have been in California,
which is not my home. Along the
coast it has been almost too cool for
comfort In the interior it has been
hot
One can find more kinds of climate
in California in a shorter drive than
anywhere | have ever travelled.
But wherever | have been in Cali
fornia, | have noticed that the resi-
dents of the region where | was
were sublimely sure that they had
the best climate on earth. No per-
formances Of the thermometer NOV
ed them from their fixed belief that
they were living in the most delight
full spot in all the world.
Very Optimistic.
If it was hot, they said, eve have
only to get into our auto, and in an
hour we are in the mountains, or by
the shore; and no matter how hot
the days, we ALWAYS have cool
nights"
And they added, at is hotter
everywhere else"
like this trait in my California
friends. In a certain indistinct way
| they admit that even California may
! have some disadvantages but they
are sure that the disadvantages are
few and unimportant. and that all
the rest of the world has more. If it
is hot in California, they are sure 1t
is intolerable everywhere else. What
ever happens, thew thank the Lord
thrice daily tina THEY live in Cali
fornia.
You and 7, who live elsewhere and
have no plan to move, may smile at
this characteristic of our California
friends, but it has a certain admir-
able quality.
1t would do US all good to cultivate
the belief that the conditions in the
midst of which we live are the best
on earth. and if not, that we have
it in our power to make them better.
He Keeps Cool.
There are men worse off than you
and |. There are worse Jobs than
ours. There are worse wives than
ours, and homes less capable of being
made ideal
When YOU meet a Californian on a
particularly hot day, and he greets
YOU with a complacent smile and an
unwilted collar, do not despise his
satisfaction with things as they are
He is able to keep his collar I'M
maculate by reason of his sublime
confidence that, however hot it may
he here If Is worse somewhere else
No matter how hot the weather, he
keeps cool 1t is worth while learn
ing how he does it.
