USABLE VALUES IN LAND

The price-legitimate and safe-of Los Angeles
real estate is its usabe value This is the substance Of
a statement by W. G. Patterson president of the Los
Angeles National bank in an interview in The Herald
yesterday Mr.. Patterson is everywhere recognized
a keen, shrewd and conservative man, familiar with all
the Details history and tendencies of Los Angeles and
his word such subject is about the last cry.
If, then, the price of Los Angeles real estate must
be based it's usable value what is this value and
how shall it be obtained?
The usable value Of piece Of real estate is price
at which may be bought sold, the may be,
that will permit of average improvement and pay fair
return the outlay. In other words it is eliminating
its speculative worth if 1t possess any.
Several things tend fix this value. The site Of the
land its vicinity to the line of the ctys growth, the
character of the neighborhood, the class of trade
tering thereabouts transportation facilites-al these
figure in. For what would be high price for
lot may be low for another in the same relative
region but in district devoted to certain character
of business for instance Lots on Alameda street may
have peculiar for business that requires railroad
switching might say while for the retail trade they
might be useless. Lots Spring or Broadway are
ideal for small shops office buildings, but for whole
sale trade not nearly desirable.
Again. there is this chief factorthe class of building
required to bring in living income. And this iS very
important Land that permits of cheaply constructed
warehouses often nets the owner more in proportion
to investment than does real estate which must be very
heavily improved with the highest class structures to
pay at all
1t must be remembered, too, that Los Angeles
not become a congested cty-a town of skyscrapers.
1t now has building that will not be overtopped,
because it is high the laws permit. Obviously,
land which be built only so high only be so
valuable; beyond the equazing point the income de-
creases the percentage of return is mnmlzed This
fact will spread the Los Angeles business dis
trct, especially the Office region considerable area,
prices per foot here will always low compared
to those in places where congestion is permitted
In plain terms, then the disable value of land is the
figure which it may be expected to pay fair return
it's cos-and

AS TO WOMEN ANGELS

1t has been Officially" decided by group of eminent
divines of York city that angels men. These
learned gentlemen arrived at this conclusion result
of a controversy with equally eminent sculptor, who
prepared the figures the magnificent Cathedral of
ST. John, building in upper Manhattan. The scup-
tor gave these angels the faces figures of emininy
The divines aforesaid thereupon took umbrage
at his choice Of sex and became very much wrought
up thereover
Whereupon, naturally, the sculptor his ire aroused,
declared that he had merely followed polite usage,
poetic precedent and general understandings that many
women here and angels hence angels hereafter
must be women, and that, furthermore he had

Far be it from humble newspaper to attempt to
adiudicate where ministers authorities on things
heavenly general and sculpors arbiters of the human
form are the parties at issue About your
paper Office there is always at least devil but of
angels even familiar and much sought after
in theatrical starry circles, it woteth not But it may
not amiss call attention to two salient facts
bearing the matter at issue.
It is fair for a supposition, to presume angel
came to earth Would be the chap the average man
would seek out? Fearfully mott Undoubtedly he would
be called "Flosse" "Tesse ne would lisp and toe

for those positions must be in measure of the

they'll cheated out Of their teeth the first
clip.
But as to anges-ah, isn't the earth just full
of them, right here and now? The man who doesn't
see the angel cropping out of his good old mother
wouldn't know a angel if he met one on the main
street in the new Jerusalem And he who doesn't know
that the of the celestial choir is lacking till his
wife appears there to take up her harp and lead the

Women angels? OF course!

BAPTISTS CONGREGATIONS
INTERCHANGE C0URTESIES
WORSHIP TOGETHER AT DAY AND
NIGHT SERVICES
Rev. Robert j. Burdette, Pastor Of
Temple Baptist Church, breaches
at Both Meetlngs-Three Candi-
dates Are Baptized Into Fellowship

BY an interchange of brotherly cour-
tesies the First Baptist church and
Temple Baptist church worshiped to-
gether yesterday. The morning service
was held in the First church building
and the evening in Masonic hall, the
temporary quarters of the Temple. AT
both services the preacher was Robert
j. Burdette, pastor of the Temple
church. At the morning service three
candidates were baptized. Mr.. and
Mrs. Walters and Arthur Dickey were
taken into the fellowship of the Temple
church. The pastor officiated.
Prof. Melville Dozier, one of the dea-
cons of the First church, occupied the
pulpit with the Temple pastor and par
ticipated in the serice. The audito-
RUINS, both morning and evening, were
thronged beyond capacity, and there
was common feeling of joy and graft
tude evident throughout the services.
The topic of the morning sermon was
The Good Shepherd" John 10, II.
How, in all ages, Gods people have
loved this metaphor of sheep and shep-
herd to idealze the relations between
their God and themselves. Five hum
dred times you will find sheep men
toned in the book, usually with some
symbolic interest or meaning. In the
dreams of the prophets, the songs of
the poets and psalmists, the lamb be-
came the national emblem-a marvellous
combination of weakness and power,
helplessness and omnipotence gentle
ness and might. In the vision of the
Apocalypse one of the elders before
the throne speaks to the weeping seer
weep not; behold the lion of the tribe
of Judah hath prevailed to open the
book John lifts his head to behold
the lion of Judah-'And l looked, and
10, a lamb!' And this type of gentle
ness and innocence did what no man in
heaven, nor on earth, neither under the
earth, was able to do'-He took the
book from the hand of him that sat
on the throne, and broke the seals
thereof
"I am the Good Shepherd Jesus
wrote on the hearts of men. To the
child Jesus, | think the Shepherd
psalm must have been as sweet as it
is to our children, who learn, long
years before they can appreciate it,,
and love it. many, many years before
they know why. L am a sheep; | do
not know where to find pasture; I do
not know where to find the water
brooks, but l shall never want
Jesus never led his people to war,
but for two thousand years he has led
his sheep to victory. Never a crusade
never sword drawn in his name, has
prospered. Never a prayer in. his name
has failed. I am the Good Shepherd
What keeps the sheep together? Love
for one another? Not primarily. Love,
a common love for the Shepherd, first
of all. They follow him. When one
sheep follows another they are both
lost. They wander out into the mazos
of the wilderness. The best sheep
makes never an infallible shepherd
One is your master-one is your shep-
herd'.eVen Christ"

USE THE LEAD AND SAVE THE SHIP

The many marine disasters that have along
the northern during the three months have
attracted wide attention. Various assigned
but the most is that the ships running too
near shore.
There is custom that in the good old days
fully adhered to- but honored in the breach
than in the observance; that is the of the lead in
thick or foggy weather Had the lead been faithfully
breaking up Gorda the bones of the big eighter
Tricoor would be the Mendocino coast
nor would the liner Alameda have been caught of
the hinges of the Golden Gate, to be rescued only
through the kindness of Providence and the admirable
work of marine experts.
Legends of the New England seacoast tell of time
when masters of schooners had way of finding their
location by tasting the particles of the seas bottom
which adhered to the lead after it had been cast They
were supposed every mile of the seas bottom
from Cape Montauk by taste One night according
to a veracous chroncler, Jonathan Marden Nantucket
lad was watch and soliloquzed: We're all a set of
stupid think the captain knows by tasting what
ground we're on" Accordingly he took the lead and
rubbed it over box of earth that stood deck
was used growing parsnips, and then he sought
masters berth The latter the lead and this is
what followed:
And then upon the floor in haste sprung
The skipper stormed and tore his hair,
Nantuckets sunk and here we are
Right old Marin Hackets garden "
It is not necessary to advocate return to tasting
of the lead but let it be faithfully during foggy
weather and when common sense tells the mariner that
the land is under his lee.

Sermons Roiltd Down

There is nothing divine In dullness.
SulkinesS is only selhshness turned
sour.
Many great souls have been lost by lit
tie sins.
Blessed is the sorrow that cures Of
selfishness.
Gliding the wagon does not ease the
springs.
The best place to pray for corn is be-
tween the rows.
The religion that lacks sunshine is all
moonshine.
The path of perdition is fabricated with
smooth talk.
There is a lot of difference between
foresight and fear.
The heavenly chariot cannot be drawn
by a clothes horse.
The reward of mastering one difficulty
Is to meet another.
Believe that man is bad and he will
not go back on it.
Many a man will wear wings who can
not tie an Ascot tie,
If you cannot see heaven here you will
never see it anywhere.
To the hypocrite one mans religion is
another mans revenue
Stained glass in the windows cannot
make up for putty in the pulpit
No money is tainted worse than that
which is kept in the cold storage pocket
Plenty is a good deal more than pity
for those who are too poor to buy clothes
It's a good deal easier to pray for the
preacher than to pay for the preaching.
It's a hard world for the man who be-
lieves that Providence owes him an easy
place.

AN APPEAL TO FASHION

o goddess of the fashion plate!
We women bend the knee,
Your majesty to supplfcate
And urge an earnest plea.
Our hearts, now plunged in deepest
grief,
Shall rise like any rocket,
If you will come to our relief.
And grant us but-a pocket!
Your favor to propitiate
We strive more than the men;
Why will you thus discriminate
In favor of them then.
In every garment for their wear
With cubby-h holes you stock it,
For me we lift our humble prayer,
A pocket-O a pocket!
Our handkerchief we cannot find,
And all too Soop we lose 1T,
'Tis borne on any pilfering wind,
Just when we most would use 1t.
Our cards are gone. our purses 100
Our grief-pray do not mock It'll
But grant the gift-fa!r goddess do,
A pocket-O pocket!
Our throats are bare, our waists are
bound,
Our dainty skirts lie on the ground,
Or grabbed with graceless hand,
We do not ask for reasons powers,
Nor sense-alas! you shock It
If only this small boon be ours
A pocket-O a pocket!

Still, glad we list the winds refrain:
Soon it will rain! Soon it will rain"
