Mexicans Themselves Consider
Summer Best Season

Residents Of Mexico City are
gratified that American tour
lists are realizing what to any
Mexican Is so obvious: That
summer Is their best season.
Formerly the number of tour
lists used to decline from the
end Of February until the next
fall.
This year the tourist traffic
has increased steadily through
March and April, and advance
reservations as well as the vol
ume Of inquiries in offices of
governmental and tourist agen-
cfes indicate that the improve
Ment will continue throughout
the summer.
1t is only natural that the
American should be confused
as to the deSirability Of the
various seasons for travel in
Mexico, natives say. He visual
ICES the map and notes that
Mexico City lies in tropic lati-
tudes. But. Of course, his map
is flat and therefore fails to
show that the Mexican capital
lies at an altitude of 1000 feet
above sea level.
He Is therefore agreeably sur
prised to find that July days
in Mexico city are considerably
cooler than the temperatures
Of many Of our large North
ern cities. The sun is warm,
Of course. and the vegetation
tropically luxuriant. But there
are no Sweltering days and the
MexicanS themselves rarely go
out without o coat in the eve
ming.
It was natural that once
this climatic condition is appre-
ciated the popularity Of Mexico
in the summer should increase.

NelO England Buses
OPENING NeU Areas

The vast network Of excellent
bus services operated by the New
England Transportation Com
pany have proved an invaluable
aid to tourists throughout the
region, according to officials Of
the company.
Supplementing the fast and
frequent rail service Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, they enable the tour
list in this matches vacation
land. to set out with almost any
destination in view. They also
permit the kind of roaming from
place to place which is SO pleas
ant in a land of good roads and
plentiful hotel accommodations
of all classes.
Such a combination Of rail
and bus accomplishes also two
most desirable purposes; it saves
time in transportation, thus CIV
ing the vacationer more days in
the resorts where summer pleas
ureS are abundant; and it saves
on the transportation end of
the travellers budget, 90 that he
has more to spend on good cheer

New England Has
Glorious
Summer

In any land Of rigorous
winters, summer is q glorious
season. In New England's rural
sections, the season Of the
earth's full Towering is long
anticipated and heraIded with
happiness.
When the woods are green
and the streams are shady and
the fish rising to the challenge
of the fly, there are a few
places on earth that can match
it. The land and the people
seem to experience a profound
but restrained joy-a conscious
ness that this is the season Of
release. Of freedom, to be en-
joyed to the fullest.
And New England offers q
variety Of resorts, of scenes, of
sports that include every vaca-
ton desire. Reached by the
New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, the conven-
lent gateway to New England,
are the smart shore resorts of
Connecticut and Rhode Island,
the unspoiled but gay and pop
ular beaches of Cape Cod,
Martha'S Vineyard and Nam
tucket, the South and North
Shores Of Massachusetts Bay.
Farther on, easily accessible by
direct connections, is the whole
length of Names enormous
coaStline, with score of villages
and shore resorts and fishing
paradises that each commands
its quota of defenders as the
best place Of all.
And inland lies the region of
the White Mountains that
draws so many summer vaca-
tioniSts to New Hampshire
1900 square miles that include
some of this country's grand
est scenery; with sports and
hotel accommodations to suit
every taste and every purse.
