When 70a visit Paris, come pre
pared In an artistic spirit. Make
op your mind to see the human
form in paintings and sculpture,
with and without clothing, but
mostly withoat.
For Paris is an artist and this
temperament is expressed in sta
taes, monuments, broad boule
Tards sad lovely Hardens or paras.
Wherever there ia a meeting of
two or three streets, there you
find a monument or statue ol
00 me famous pejrson. Bat more
often the artist preferred the hu
man form divine in the wsy of a
beautiful woman. And it seems
the sculptors, aaa matter of
economy, prexerrea to acuip me
young lady "as la." rathec than
to cover her up Jn a lot of winter
clothing. Same way with palat
ini.
Paris is a really beautiful city
So many broad boulevards, broad
sidewalks, flowers and statuary
everywhere. The men. well dress
ed, do not look "Frenchy" like
Adolph Menjou, the movie, star
hut the women one sees in the
business districts, give the 1m
wression of good looks and a eer
tain French animation and styl
ish clothes. They look just like
ictures of French women.
Where a few streets meet, the
square or meeting place Is called
a "place. and duly adorned with
saaay statues and monuments.
For instance, there is the Place
de la Concorde, meaning the place
X Concord and that is where dur
tag the' French revolution, the
gallotlne worked overtime and
Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI and
Robespierre and a couple of thou
sand others. lost their heads.
Sidewalk Cafes Plentiful
Paris is the city of sidewalk
eating. Nice big chairs and ta
bles with big sun umbrellas over
head, are everywhere. At one
place along the stylish boulevard
Champs Elysees, I estimated 600
chairs. (Tou pronounce it, "Shou
ay-lee-say" with the accent on

Most impressive sight was the
Arc de Triomphe erected in IS OS
by Napoleon to commemorate a is
many victories. For comparison
with the statehouse, note these
figures: The arch is 161 feet high,
while top of dome of state house
Is US feet. Napoleon built his
arch 147 feet wide and 75 feet
thick. The state house ts 1SZ
feet wide with height of building
2H feet. On Napoleon's arch
re names of his battles and his
generals or marshals who fell in
battle. Ia those days the gener
als were mostly on the front line
of battle, and didn't live any too
long.

of Empress Josephine, first wife
of Napoleon, She had gold trim
med furniture and paintings on
the ceiling of her bedroom. But
the guide showed ns large bowl
from which Josephine ate bread
and milk for breakfast. Seems she
was on a diet.
Beee Louis XIV Paintings
LAiis XIV, the French ktng
who spent so much money in
building and adding to a palace
at Versailles, had the best paint
ers of his time paint him all over
the place. He wore high heels to
make him appear talL The paint

him a$ his nose was long, thin
and hooked and he had a big ib
derlip sticking out. Louis XIV
spent too much money and Louis
jlvi ana Marie Antoinette pata
tor it with their heads.
However, when Napoleon be
came emperor, he lived la all
those gold trimmed rooms, with
paintings on the celling. In the
room where he talked French pol
itics, he had a little throne built,
three steps up. All chairs in gold
with deep damask upholstering.

he signed his abdication, after the

which; having thus been accorded
much the same reception here
that LJIllaa Harvey and Jessie

pect that Salem does not favor
the London music hall type of
stars. It is a bit queer, the show
business. Personally, I feel a
sense of satisfaction In having
seen Gracie Fields.
I think the reason that Gracie
went rocketing to the top of the
English box office list Is the fact
that In her the English public

"That jagged peak." he said,
"is Mount Whit noy, highest

Tou' don't notice Its , height so
much because the mountains
around It are so high. But Its top
Is 14,601 feet above sea level.
"Now then," he added, "look

pointing southeast, towards a
deep, low-hanging hase. "Eighty
five miles away lies Death valley,
the lowest spot In the United
States, 310 feet below sea level.
So you see. in this section we have
both the highest and lowest sec
tions of the nation."
Dow and Ellis guided us up a
good lS-mile CCC road to the base
of Mount Whitney Whitney Por
tals they call it. It leads through
the Alabama, a queer geologic
structure Just , out of Lone Pine
and a favorite, locale' for big mo
tion picture productions. Its
rocky formations are said to be
the oldest known to geologists.
After a comfortable night In
Dow's air-conditioned hotel, we
embarked on the next-to-the-last
day of our Journey. A few miles
south we relinquished the shelter
of the cool Sierras and boomed
suddenly into .the desert. Large,
fantastic cactus trees bordered
the wide, straight road, and the
motorlog car struck up a steady,
droning tune that soon set co-mo-torlogger
Snyder a-noddlng.
Scenery Typically California
Time passed qulckty and soon
we dropped Into Csjon canyon
north of San Bernardino. Califor
nia palms, heavy traffic, packing
plants and service stations fur
nished a sharp contrast for the
motorloggers.
Rolling southward, we knew
that this was southern California,
-Sagging orange trees, heavy with
the fruit so much in demsnd on
Oregon breakfast tables, bordered
our road as it unfolded in front
of us along Lake Elsinore,
through the picturesque city of
Escondido and toward San Diego.
In San Diego hotel that evening
Arnold Klaus, manager of the San
Diego California club, had rath
ered a group of city and state
travel officials around a banquet
table. Klaus, whose father oper
ated the famous Crystal bar in
Virginia City during the gold
rush days, - told us about this
southernmost California city and
urged us to visit the old town.
site of the , original mission and
settlement of 1769; the Spanish
village. Point Loma and other
spots. Time, however, . prevented
anything but a pleasant ride
through- the tidy, palm-decked
streets and along the waterfront.
Next day. at the Mexican border.
1 miles south, we were surprised
at the simplicity with which
American tourists cross the Inter
national line. Cars from the
states, obviously pleasure seekers.
were waved through with a mini
mum of formality. . Returning,
however, American customs offi
cials are a bit more strict and we
were advised to register our Ger
man camera lens - to eliminate
trouble when we checked in
again.
Ten miles south of the border
the highway unfolded before us
and we found It smooth, wide and
fast. It emerged from the brown.
sterile hills of Baja. CaL, and
struck the coast line. Cool salt
air gave u srellef from the stuffi
ness of the two border cities. Mex
ican hovels, about which lounged
dark-skinned farmers, pin m p
senoras. dropped behind us.
In less than two hours we had
covered the fiS miles from Ti
juana.' rounded a point of land
and Todas Santos bay stretched
before us. Sprawled on the tar
side of the gracefully - curving'
shore line lay Playa Ensenada,
low and rambling along the sandy
beach - for nearly a quarter of a J
miie..

We halted the white car at the
entrance to a new green-grey

soon called him Louis) waa wait

Visit Plan
After viewing an open-air pro
gram staged by. the public schools,
we drove to Playa Ensenada
wnere ten years ago there was
nothing save the sands ot Todos
Santos bay. Today Playa Ense
aada dominates the shore. Mod
ern in architecture, yet built in
true Spanish style, Plsya Ensena
da is an entrancing series of pat
ios, gardens, walls, doorways and
balconies. It is a hotel built for
those who love comfort, peace and
leisure. Most everywhere, through
its rambling corridors, in its
cheerful dining rooms, is histor
ical ironwork, many pieces ob
tained from a monastery built In
Castile before the renaissance.
Murals, bold in line and subject
were created ay Martinez.
We asked Bruno Fagalll, young
and handsomer manager, about
the gambling edict that closed
the doors of the giant casino, oc
cupying the west end of the ram
bling structure. He simply shrug
ged his shoulders and said, hope
fully: "Some day maybe. It will
come back." We could hear in
hia voice the story of Playa Eh
senada as it used to be less than
two years ago when money-mad
men, diamond-clad women swarm
ed the gaming-tables; when the
movie colony moved south in
droves; when the click of the
wheel and rattle of dice mingled
with the sound of music, tinkling
of glasses and gay laughter.
With Louie. Santos B. Cota,
chamber president; Luis M. Sa
lazar and others, we v drove the
beach, smooth and straight, they
say, as Daytona in Florida.
That night Louie took us to a
boxing match, then showed us Ce
celia's, the red spot that few vis
itors fail to miss, whether alone or
accompanied by wives. "Ensenada
is a lot like Reno, don't you
think?" asked Louie. "Someone
told me the main streets look
much the same.. J've never been
to Reno."
In a way; yes, Ensenada was
like Reno, but the main street was
as different as day is from night.
It has glamour, but a glamour ot
of its own. It has character, in
its typical Mexican way. It is an
attraction at the southern tip of
the Three Flags highway, and the
end of our motorlog, that should
not be missed,
Next morning we said good-bye
to our Mexican friends and start
ed the little whits car on Its long
trek homeward. We had com
pleted a 1500-mile tour from
Spokane south along the amazing
new Canada-to-Mexico route. We
had plenty to talk about and
much to remember, and a new
road to advise for south-bound va
canonists.
