Millions Go ToBrighton Every Year Beaches, Parks and Fields of Sports Pro- vide Play Facilities. Brighton, ancient royal and popular coast resort of Southern England, entertains a million visitors a month, seven | times the size of its own population. | Known for nearly two centuries es| “the Queen of Watering Places,” it has written its name on the maps of lands all over the globe. Even | before the American Civil War there | were over & score of Brightons in the | United States. A thousand years ago it was called | Brichtelm, after the son of the first| King of Sussex. Its renown as a | seaside resort began 150 years ago, | when King George IV built his royal pavilion here. It later became the vacation spot of Queen Victoria. To- day it is the property of the town and the social center of the people, | who come not only from London, 50 | miles away, but from France and the Continent 80 miles distant. From earliest times Brighton has been famous for its sunshine. Two thousand hours a vear, or six hours every day from January to December is not unusual. | TS six miles of beach and fashion- ionable flower-rimmed promenades are crowded with holiday makers who | come for the attractions of the surf, the recreations of its sports from golf on seven courses to horse races, and for the legend-haunted pre-historic | remains in the vicinity. | On the edge of the old town is the famous Devil's Dyke, a lonely wild| stretch of downs country where pre- historic camps have been unearthed. It is a region replete with legend and as essential to the scenery of a good English detective story as thorough- | fares in London which Sherlock Holmes has immortalized. Its chief legend tells that once ppon a time the devil became angry at the growing number of churches in the district and decided to inundate the countryside by cutting an inroad | from the sea. The huge valley is| pointed out today. Before he com- pleted his job, however, his spade | struck a stone, the noise of which | eroused an old woman in a nearby cottage who lit a candle to investigate. When the devil saw the candlelight | he vanished, thinking it was sunrise. S0 the people of Brighton to this day recall that “six hours sunshine her every day in the year, keeps the devil away while the people play.” THE race course now runs alongside of the ancient Whitehawk Camp, | one of the finest examples of pre- | o B RIGHTON, May 18 —From May B day till Armistice day | 54 Q CRUISES 3 Days pyLABELPHIA 4 $130 Every monoay Commencing May 20 A sea-going cruise with all the informal ease und fun of a sea rover’s life . . .

ON ONE of the loveliest hillsides in the Bernese Oberland, Switser- land, the village of Adelboden clusters picturesquely around its ancient church. This tiny place of worship, built in 1433 A. D, with arr equally old maple tree standing before it, has become a landmark of the commu- nity. Its carved friezes, of which no two are alike, and its fifteenth century frescoes representing the day of judgment have become famous. Adelboden is the proud site of Our Chalet, the lovely international home for Girl Sccuts, founded by Mrs. J. J. girls from the United States have already had the privilege of enjoying its hospitality and the perfect scenic beauty which distinguishes Adelboden. Native homes are in true chalet style. Their roofs are weighted down with stones against winds and storm, and inscriptions, either biblical or of proverb style, adorn their facades. Veritable trails of enchantment lead to the many scenic attractions in the environs and Engstligen Falls, Engstligen Alp and the Choleren gorge are favorites. Ascents vary from the very easy climbs for novices to the more strenuous conquests of the Wildstrubel, the Tschingelloch- tighorn and other peaks After the manner of all progressive Bwiss resorts, Adelboden now offers an attractive bathing beach and open- air playground. Road of 5371 Miles. LONDON. May 18.—The entire stretch of 5,371 miles of road which sep- arates Haifa from London is mnow completed., with the exception of the 20-mile sandy stretch between the Libya-Tunisia frontier, and this link will be completed this Spring. The road across Libya will do much to facilitate the use of a direct Near East-to-London highway, and is by the way of Spain and North Africa. The Libya stretch will contain 500 miles of excellent tar surface. historic hill forts in Great Britain, and nearby can be found the remains of Hollingbury Castle, which dates from the third century before Christ. The Royal Pavilion, many of the furnishings of which are now in Buck- ingham Palace, the King's residence in London, is built like the palace of a Hindu rajah, and attracts many by its lovely lines. Other visitors spend their time on the miles of wide sands, in the seven beautiful parks and bowling greens, or at the more than a hundred flelds devoted to cricket, foot ball and tennis. Brighton is still the favorite south- ern resort of the notable writers of England as it was in the days when it was visited by Byron, Dickens and Sir Walter Scott. In the Old Ship Inn, where Americans often stay for $25 a week, Thackeray began to write his “Vanity Fair,” while lovers of the modern novels of Sheila Kaye Smith choose Brighton as the center from which to visit the scenes of her Sussex tales.

The Traveler’s Notebook By Jacques APIDLY nearing completion for the official Summer season, beginning about the middle of June, is the Fred Harvey Bright Angel Hotel, located on the south rim, in Grand Canyon Na- tional Park. The lobby, lounge and coffee rooms are ready for visitors, and by early June two lodges of 17 and 25 rooms will be opened to re- ceive their initial guests. Facllities will be increased by another lodge of 20 rooms this Fall, according to M. R. Tillotson, park superintendent. One of the features of the new hotel will be a fireplace, which, on its modest scale, will duplicate the odd strata formations found on the floor of the river, up the canyon walls and to the very rim. Geologists have rec- ognized 12 important formations which lend color and variety to the precipitous walls. The hearth will be constructed of small boulders and peb- bles, hearts of huge rocks which the Colorado has worn away in its journey of millions of years. The lower part of the fireplace will be formed with hard, black inner-gorge schists. Then will come, in their proper order, as the chimney rises to the top of the room, the bass limestone, hakatai shale, shinumo quartzite, tapeats, sandstone and others. The lodges and furnishings will rep- resent an expenditure of $500,000. TH! public is learning to draw a fine line between the dude ranch and the cattle ranch which accepts pay- ing guests. The distinction is largely one of variety in play facilities, for each glorifies the horse. Loosely, if a ranch has a golf course and a con- crete swimming pool, it is dude; if it accentuates the freedom of the pa- trons to join the cowboys in running cattle, camping with the men on the | range, and dares them to test their | daring in bronco-busting, it's a real cow ranch. Dude or otherwise, they have many features in common. A good trout stream is standard equipment. Both types boast of well-stocked libraries. Ping-pong and billiard tables afford indoor recreation, from the more ex- pensive down to the more reasonable. | And then, of course, there is rid- STEAMSHIPS.

Futrelle, Jr. ing. On many of the ranches an in- dividual saddle horse is assigned to each guest for the length of his stay. He learns its tricks and foibles, and the horse learns his. Western saddles are furnished, and pity the poor East- ern traditionalist who insists on the English type. He, and she, too, are due for some mild mental haszing.

In addition to fishing, hunting for bear, cougar and deer, with either gun or camera, is an added diversion. Few ranches are without tennis courts. Even those that don't have constructed swimming pools have managed to pro- wde at least a swimming hole in the trout stream. Many ranches make a specialty of entertaining children, ITHER in the Southwest or the Northwest the dude ranch fan can find a pleasant place to go, both Winter and Summer. In Texas, Ari- zona and New Mexico the Winter sea- son is popular. A few of the places farther north are open all Winter, too, but generally the season is just now beginning. In the South is found many desert type ranches, with sandy stretches, cactus and bordering me- sas. Up around the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming, the ranches nestle in valleys between lofty moun- tains. Characteristic cowboy life forms the enchanting background wherever one goes. Songs of the range, the homely wit, the legends of the plains, roping tricks, impromptu rodeos, cattle round- ups and branding—these make up the | atmosphere the dude ranch and the | cow ranch patrons delight in. ANENT the liner Normandie, con- firmation has just been [lven[ by an official announcement of the French Line that the supership will be on display in New York, without | formality of pasees, on Tuesday, June 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on June 8, from 1 pm. to 5 pm. The “open house” dates are con- tingent on the liner not being delayed on its maiden trip by a strike of French Line crews. In New York the Normandie will be docked at its new pier, 88, at the foot of West Forty-eighth street. When the initial announcement of the public inspection plans was made in this column a month or so ago, it was mentioned that the entrance fee to the liner might be as low as 10 cents. Instead, the fee will be 50 cents. Officials of the line, after full consideration, decided this fee is high enough to discourage the idly curious, and will limit the crowd to those gen- uinely interested in the splendor of the maritime work of art. Castle of Rudenz. THE name of the Knight of Rudenz is familiar to readers of Schiller’s “Willlam Tell,” but not everybody may know that the little castle of Rudenz, once the property of the nobles of Attinghausen and Rudenz is still well preserved, and is situated between the church ana the rallway station of Fluelen, Switzerland.
