   Here are mountains running to the sea—the variety of all types of resorts—not merely "seashore alone." There is a section of your country where the mountains join the sea—a beauty spot incomparable—where you may see the rose tint of a famous sunset on these mountains as you lie on the beach. Cool, delightful Southern California—summer wonderful supreme! Temperatures?—let the U. S. Weather Bureau vouch for them in its 49-year record of the average mean temperatures at a central point: 49 Junes, 66 degrees: 49 Julys, 30: 49 Augusts, 71: 49 Septembers, 69 (official figures, not our own).
