distance 10 miles. II this goes through, as well
it may toll will be charged and the super
visors would be empowered to refuse tickets to
those palpably untitled by drink to drive. The
toll road would mean a rebirth of poverty
stricken Ensenada, as new hotels would be re-
quired to house those forbidden to clutter up
the highway and catch-pennieS to draw
the remaining money would have to be pro-
vided
The promoters of Ensenada, the Compania
Mexicana del Rosario, S. A., of which Gene
Normile, close associate of Jack Dempsey, IS
The managing head, have their inspiration IN
Aqua Calente. Aqua Caliente is an apt name;
literally, in Spanish, it is hot water" though,
of course, it refers to the warm springs that
burst from the desert sand along the course
of the Rio Tia Juana and enable the pro-
moters of the resort to offer all varieties Of
natural baths
Nevertheless, "hot water is fair transla-
ton, for lucky is the American visitor there
who does not find himself being parboiled
before he starts homeward. Perhaps lucky"
is not quite fair there is no compulsion to
drink or to gamble; further, the liquors are
excellent and out of the thousands who play
roulette black jack or "chuck-a-l luck" or
roll the plebean dice, certainly some per-
centage goes away the winner. The adjective
is fair, perhaps, when conflne 1t to Amert-
cans, for it is the universal observation of
travellers that Americans away from home are
bad drinkers and unintelligent gamblers.
Aqua Caliente, the resort, is thing Of
beauty, and If we compare it to other public
gambling houses. such as Monte Carlo, we
shall find that it loses only by its inevitable
associations, its location so close to Tia Juana
and the influx of visitors which it draws.
After ALL to be sure, Monte Carlo is not
what it was when Russian grand dukes and
Spanish grandees threw away fortunes at
trente- et-quarante or roulette. In these days
it, too, has its hordeS of tourists from beyond
the seas, who, wanting to see what the place
Is all about, go perambulating with that an
moving attitude of disapproval and curiosity.
But the very splendor of Monte Carlo, the
opulence of the Casino, the ordered richness
Of the streets, the gorgeousness Of the gem
darmerie, the isolation on the promontory, stau

breathing or the ancient Grimaldi, ana the
Iulling beauty of the Mediterranean-au OF
these somehow, refine and recharge the
atmosphere
MOT SO Aqua Caliente. And it is unfor-
tunate The resort is a delight to the
eve from the approach through the roads
girdling Campanile to the screened patio in
the rear of the hotel along the Avenido de los
Palmas to the streets and cottages. The archl-
tect Wayne D. McAllister, designed his Struc@
lures with true Spanish touch and scholarlta
ness with their tile roofs, their grated bal-
comics of wrought iron their long Romanesque
arches, their cool walls inducing feeling OF
Spain-not Spain as it is but as it would be
were the old forms redone on its soil.
1t is the crowd that impairs the atmosphere
of Aqua Calente. On Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays the immense parking spaces-for the
use of which the visitor is charged-are
crowded with automobiles bearing license
plates, not only of California, but of Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas Oregon ana
Washngton-from all the States which have
furnished large blocks of the Southern Cali
fornia population. The presence of these cars
denotes that visiting relatives have arrived and
have decided to see everything.
1t would be much better for you and for
Aqua Caliente had these visitors stopped TO
fill their eyes at Tia Juana. There is some
a mixture of the Bowery of the early 1900s, Of
Nome after the ice has broken up and of the
Coney Island of 1880, going full tilt unashamed
and unheeding, where the Ten Command
mendments are merely targets and where the
uninhibited man or woman may do all ne
pleaSes.
In the Foreign Club is bar longer than
the famouse one in Shanghai, stocked with
every variety of whisky brandy, wine and
liquor that the palate of man has ever tasted.
Within its purlieus, filling the block-length of
the ROOM are more than hundred gambling
tables, all so heavily patronized that new
conner must literally elbow and shoulder his
way, If he is willy enough-and If he is not,
he must reach over rows of humans three deep
to place his money. At every turn are slot
machines, some for nickels, some for dimes,
some for quarters, some for half-dollars and
some for dollars. There Is none 50 poor or
so timid but that Tia Juana has a device fOE
him. Even the wheels Of chance, so dear ID

Until lately the road to Ensenada still was
used by motorists anxious for taste OF the
exotic as well as the taste for uncontaminated
liquors. A few years ago Fasteners partic-
ularly writers who had been lured to Holly
wood motored there for a respite But soon
as they began to appear in numbers the char
acter OF the countryside began to change.
Roadside bars, rough hewn and thorny sprang
up along the way like cactus plants until half
a dozen dot the otherwise untenanted high
way. If an American stops to quench his thirst
the attendants Immediately produce a card
table for Black Jack, and as he blows the foam
off his tankard of Mexicali beer a pin-eyed
houseman begins to manipulate the deck deity
and invite him to play by stacking up piles OF
silver dollars
Ensenada today is predominantly Mexican
town in population, and in some of the back
streets there few adobe houses and build
ings. Tucked away in one corner is the ubl-
quitouS barracks of pink stucco, with guard
mounted Along the streets you stumble over
little dark-bodied Mexican boys at play, and
off on the ranch roads you encounter Mexican
laborerS of the utmost natural dignity. But
the center of the town is the Middle Western
America of about 1880-wooden houses in the
rocco Style-and along the main street are a
succession of frothy bars and reeking dance
halls Favored with the nervousness of Spokane
in the Yukon days.
THE new gambling casino i, being builtc-the
frames are ready for the stucco-about
a mile from the center of the village and,
ominously enough, just beyond the cemetery.
1t is ideally situated on low cliff on the left
side of Ensenada Bay, which will give it an
anchorage for yachts from San Diego, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and all the wealthy
little Californian ports between, and allow the
jewellers to avoid the dangers of a drunk-in-
tested highway. golf course is being laid
out, tennis courts are being sodded and plots Of
flowers will border the handsome buildings.
When it is completed the promoters-a group
of wealthy Californians-probably will have
expended $3,0O0.000.
There is project afoot to avoid the misery
of the present motor road. That is to spend
$II 900. 900 resurfacing it and recruiting half
dozen of its more dangerous spots reducing the

it reaches the indigo sea. Then 1t fiattens over

The earth road is ancient, but in dry weather
It is well surfaced, and despite some of the
narrow and winding deScentS the 70 miles can
be covered safely in three hours-on weekdays.
On Sunday it is wiser to keep off this road, but
If you must travel along it, it is judicious to
proceed more slowly, particularly around the
hidden narrow curves, because it is crowded
with celebrating Americans who are making
the ancient highway primrose path.
1t is not today however, the primrose path
that it will be few months hence, when the
new casino at Ensenada opens its doors. BY
