The menace to health of an impure water supply can hardly be told in fewer or better words. Modern water purification plants may not possess the sentiment and romance which cling to the open well and the flowing stream, but nothing contributes more to the health, sanitation and welfare of people all over the civilized world than does a plentiful supply of pure water.

"What about your ticket?" "Why did you not have this, that or the other?" Imagine questions like these rapidly fired at you from all angles. Suppose the school French does not stand the test. And suppose our book-German, book-Italian, or whatever we are assumed to have at our command, wilts under the barrage of taxi-drivers, porters and the like? Books, tickets, guides are not much help in predicaments or in cutting red tape. But travelers have found that they need only look distressed at European frontier points, railway stations to bring the Helpful Hand of Service to their aid. Thousands know of it. Hundreds of thousands have used it. The Helpful Hand which comes with traveler's cheques ought to be on every intending traveler's agenda-right next to his memos about visas and the like.

Even a guide to Europe appreciates steady customers. "The only requirements for enjoying Europe are that you've never seen America and that you've got a passport and plenty of letters of credit. "First visit Ireland where they treat Americans more like a friend than a tourist. "Go through the oldest and the youngest of European nations, the land of the harp and the shamrock. "Have 'em show you the lovely lakes of Killarney. Talk about Switzerland's lakes. Here's where they got their idea for them. "Well, folks, in Dublin their street cars are two storied, their homes one. "It's the tea that catches the American trade. "The greatest things in Ireland are their jaunting cars and the greatest characters, their drivers. "Ireland is America's only hundred per cent friend. They don't owe us and they don't hate us.

Nature has a pristine love ness in the mighty gorge of the Sierra Nevadas. Its one thousand square miles of playgrounds contain precipitous cliffs six times as high as the Woolworth Building. From the grandeur of the Yosemite fall, whose first plunge is eight times the height of Niagara, we come to the falls of the Bridal Veil which les float her train of sparkling foam the slightest of winds. The log cabin of bygone times gives place to the palatial hotel. Then, the wonder of all wonders-the might, soaring and awe-inspiring, fourthousand-year-old sequoias which have the atmosphere, dignity and sublimity of a cathedral.

Down where the tides and eddies flow around the Atlantic giants, these trim river yachts nose out from their berths. Up they go -skylines now on both shores, through scenery which might we rival the Rhine to the foothills of the Adirondacks and the Berkshires. |
