' on this new and amazlngy suc- : cesesful resort, created aniost over-! over-! niclit many millions have been i spent to create conditions that will i j compete with anything In Europe. J Sixteen miles from Sim Diego, I one of America's most beautiful ci-! ci-! ties, the American finds hero everything every-thing he would find at Deauville, Monte Carlo, Nice or any resort In Europe. The place is well man- eed, well policed, well patronized. Tills "place is extraordinarily J beautiful, with a perfect hotel, golf, all sports, hot sulplier and mud baths, famous in Aztec days, and the visitor is in old Mexico, a land as foreign to him and as fasclnat- ing as though he were in Spain, v yet near to his own land, no ocean J to cross. Below this place the peninsula of Lower California, property of Mex-ico, Mex-ico, stretches for 1,000 miles. The t wealth of that peninsula cannot be exaggerated. Its beauty can-S' can-S' not be described. W High rock walls, going straight ii down to the ocean. Innumerable sheltered coves, with white sand beaches, great flocks of sheep on 2; the round green hills, herds of seals, ploughing through the water close to shore, quail innumerable, a wonderful empire. o Spend six hours driving along that Mexican-aeiflc shore, and in comparison, the Mediterranean Riv-- Riv-- iera. with which you have been I familiar all your life, Is like an ln-I ln-I door golf course compared with the !U real game. On Lindbergh Field, where Lindbergh Lind-bergh started his Immortal flight. It Pr&nk Hawkes gives an exhibition i ' of gliding, towed by a heavier than ' air plane. Smiling cheerfully, he sits in his i. Ion?, strongly-built plider designed by Franklin, a parachute stranrjed to his hack, for "regularity." "But." r says Hawks, "a parachute Is not " needed In gliding. You might is h well come down with your glider and land on top of that." j Pilot J. B. Jemigin Jr., taxies his (: plane along the sandy field, drag-Jf drag-Jf ging a light steel cable 500 feet j ln. Hawks hitches on to the f cable towed by the airplane. Th? plane starts along the ground dragging Hawks, and soon both are l(. in the air, going 90 miles an nour Hawks keeps his glider well above the plane to avoid the air rush from its propeller. Three thousand five hundred feet t up, Hawks drops the cable. Jern-J Jern-J igin, reels it in, and the graceful glider goes off on its own account, - flying upward, coming down, rising ris-ing again, banking, turning on its side. Finally coming down to f&rth at Hawks' command and j lindlng more lightly than a swan on water. Lindbergh, who should know, says the glider will train thousands of young flyers, with a. minimum of i danger, and teach experienced men how to build better planes. In the factory where the Spirit of St. ij Louis was built, Hawley Bowlus who i superintended that construction I, shows you a beautiful glider Just finished for Lindbergn. The new Linbergh glider, pure nlte, much lighter than any bird in proportion to size, and more graceful, has in its landing a ratio j 1 33 to 1. This means that if i ' Lindbergh were up in it only 1,000 j iwt, he could glide 33,000 feet in j. ny direction before landing, and i ' without any sustaining wind.
