UTLEY So well, well. WELL, the are going to spend vacation in Europe this summer I Weill Be right In the awing of things, won't they! Am a matter of fact, the Smiths won't For these last two or three years the swing of things has been definitely away from setting as a goal for vacation travel Europe Steam- ship lines and travel bureaus report a steady decline in tourist bookings for the last few summers. There are several reasons for this. One of them Is that the average Is decidedly slimmer than it was a few years back. The others don't count except for one. That Is the fact that Americans are beginning, It seems, to discover that the good old C. S. A. has appeal, scenery and travel interest in an abundance that the vacationer can find In no other land on earth. There was a popular song a few years back that got the Idea over as well as anything could: "You'll find your castles In Spain through your window pane, back In your own back yard . . That's almost literally true. Just uppose now that you are sitting there dreaming about far off Spain, famed for its sunny skies, brilliant afternoons, gay, starlit evenings and white towers glistening under merry red roofs. It's not so far oh as you might Imagine. Like a metropolis of Old Spain Itself Is the southern California city where millions will probably visit on their vacations this summer. It Is San Diego, home of America's 1035 exposition. Here, on the bay discovered by Cabrlllo in 1342 is a setting that today resembles the explorer's native land; here are the azure skies, the white buildings and the red roofs. It Is Spain of the renaissance, yet the travel comforts are those of modern United States. Much of southern California is like this. The bountiful country, spotted profusely with orange groves and loping vineyards, guarded by snowcapped mountain peaks, is sprinkled with old Spanish missions, lovely in architecture and rich In tradition, ften built 300 years or more ago. The climate concedes nothing to the summer. Yet eleven Mediterranean vacation days or molts of no In this be land, spent happy my patter where you live In America. k poek-tboo- two-week- Offers Many Attractions. California, like any other vacation pot of the Cnlted States, offers the visitor attractions that are distinctly American, In addition to the glamour 'and thrill of European atmosphere. There la Hollywood, with Its endless wonders of the most fascinating of all posIndustries, and the sibility that you may run Into Clark Gable or Joan Crawford face to face. There Is San Francisco with Its world- famed Golden Gate; there are national parks unsurpassed In beauty and grandeur the world over, and countless points of Interest Interspersed. Visiting California, you may pass through other glories of the West Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico. Where In Saln will you find a Tainted Desert;1 a Garden of the Gods, a Yose-xaltfalls? Or let's Bay it was England you were thinking about The charm of the English countryside you will find 'In many parts of the New England states. On a Vermont hillside you may stop for lunch or for a day or two of rest and recreation In a quaint aid English Inn. In Boston, Blaine, New Hampshire and Connecticut you might well Imagine yon were on the British Isles. There Is a section of the Maine hills which has been called the Scotland of America; it Is said to resemble the borne of the kilt and the bagpipe more than any other place on earth. Leaving New England, you may return home through the Irish jjllls in southern Michigan, whose elrHit and ,ake ara reminiscent of the "ould sod."

Or perhaps It's the weather you're Sweltering in a worrying about stuffy office or shop, or tolling in the fields with the torrid summer sun beating down, more than often gives Inspiration to fanciful revels in fields of snow, skiing down a mountain side or watching your breath dart forth in little puffs of steam as you sigh relief In getting away from the heat of Where?

When you see thera you will be likely to deprecate them anyway, for It Is almost bound to strike you that you've got something like this back home, only better. That's one objection Europeans generally find to American visitors. They Just can't help bragging about something bigger and better back home. What the average European doesn't realize Is that It's the truth. Summer Lake along Michigan brings the vacationer the climate of the Riviera. (Have you ever stopped to realize that Lake Michigan Is Just as far south as Riviera?) The long stretches of white beach, wide expanses of blue sky and water, bluffs along the shore line have a charm and beauty that is by hordes year after year. Swimming, fishing, summer sports and opportunity for relaxation are so are the amusement gaieties of the resort world, squh as dancing and cabaret entertainment. Educational and historical relics, monuments and atmosphere are part of the magnet that used to draw American tourists to Europe. It Is true that Europe's attractions are distinctly Its own In this respect By the same token it Is also true that Amer ica has tradition and historical education possibilities that are certainly Individual. The American tourist has too often overlooked the lore of old time battlefields and spots consecrat ed by the blood of his ancestors right here at home. f snow-cappe- d ever-presen- t; Historical Trips.

Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi and other southern Btates have preserved many of the most historic buildings and battlefields of the Civil Var.
