the Lankershim, talking over the Incl
dents of the trip.
Associate of George w. ChiIds
Addison B. Burke, for thirty years
assistant manager Of the Philadelphia
Ledger, when that paper was in the
heyday of its prosperity and influence
under the guiding hand of George w.
Childs, is one of the men now in Los
Angeles who has had something to do
action. For the past ten years an at
tendant at every convention of the as
sociation, Mr.. Burke has come to be
one of the well-known personages of
the meetings. Ten years ago he was in
Los Angeles with his editor, Mr.. Childs,
and, although Mr.. Burke has the rep
utation of being silent man, he could
not refrain from commenting on the
growth of the city since his last visit
At the present time he is contrib
utor to the North American, and as a
writer on municipal finance has had
much to do with bringing to public
notice the extravaganza and rotten.
ness of the Philadelphia council, with
the accompanying scene of citizens

he turned himself to the study of the
language, the folklore and the legends
of his countrymen, and as a result
stands today as an authority upon the
subject.
These men are only a sample of the
general run Of the visitors. There are
old men and young men among them.
Some have already attained distinction
while others are working with that aim
in view. They are sober-minded fell
lows, who in quiet and unostentatious
way are trying to do the duty which
they have set out to perform.
Tuesday the editors and their wives
will try the voyage to Catalina island.
Whether or not they are accustomed
to life on the ocean wave is a ques-
tion unanswered, but they are going
to tempt Neptune to do his worst. In
the evening the chamber of commerce

the pen will resume their journey to-
ward the north
