SKYSCRAPER HOTEL
ON SPRING STREET
NEW H0STELRY TO BE THE
LARGEST IN CITY
Total Cost Nearly $4oo, ,ooo-New Sew
en-story Block for South Broad
way-The I. w. HelIman
Improvements

Building operations in Los Angeles
early in the new year will witness the
erection of many modern structures
that will serve to transform the busi-
ness section of the city into a metropolis
of magnificent solidity, approaching to
larger degree than ever the architec-
tural symmetry of the sky scraping
lines in Chicago and New York.
The improvements contemplated and
under way involving the outlay of
millions of dollars, best illustrate and
emphasize the faith of property owners
and capitalists in the great future of
Greater Los Angeles, and it Is matter
of qualification to note the renewed en-
ergy by men of wealth in pushing to
the front great enterprises.
The Bilicke-Rowan Hotel
Only few months ago the Herald
readers were informed that the BilicIc-
Rowan Building company would erect
a modern eight story fire proof building
on the southwest corner of Spring and
Fifth streets at a cost of over $250,0O0.
The improvement is ncw well under
way. Saturday it became known that
the builders had concluded to add four
more stories to the structure, creating
twelve-story building, the largest
hotel building in all Southern Cali
fornia.
The plans for the additional stories
were drawn by Architect John Parkin-
son, who designed the original building.
This new hotel so favorably located will
tower as high as the Braly block, ar1
will be finished and furnished in elegant
style. 1t is figured that the addition
of the four stories will necessitate an
outlay of 100000, which will increase
the total expenditure for the improve
ments to about $45O000
The annex on the west adjoining the
semble the main structure. Plans for
the annex have not been perfected.
New Block on Broadway
Morgan & Walls have drawn plans
for seven story brick business block
to be erected by Mrs. Zusanna Van
Nuys at cost of $1OO, 900, at 436 and AZ
South Broadway. The building will
occupy the lots on the east side OF
Broadway, where the green house en-
| terprise is now located. The improve
ment will be of a modern character and
will be used for business purposes
Arrangements have been completed fol
the early erection of the building.
The HeIIman Improvements
| In recent issue the Herald gave a
detailed description of the additional
Improvements contemplated by 1. w
Hellman on South Main and West
Fourth streets. Yesterday permits
We're issued for the erection of a six
story business block by Mr.. Hellmar

Farmers and Merchants National bank

EFourth streets The cost of the two
buildings is placed at $15O.00O. Archi-

plans, which provide for fire e-proof ma

a certain class of people that can be
reached that way. Is the church
reaching that class as 1t desires to do?
Is that class not worth looking after:
Surely, it is. The church ought to look
after these men.
According to my idea. the reason for
the existence Of the Salvation Army,
the "Y. NJ. c. A., the various secret
fraternal organizations, is found In the
fact that the church has neglected
some of the simple but very necessary
things Of every day life. These She
ought to have done and not to have
left the others (high spiritual truths)
undone.
If man loved his brother, as the
great Teacher taught. it would not be

would be where God and His children

A FLY IN the OINTMENT.

@ Just as the rich are seeking the sea-
shore, the well-to-do departing for the
smaller and less fashionable watering
places and even the snail salaried
clerk counting over the savings that
mean q fortnight along the streams or
in the woods, the Minneapolis News
prints a cartoon to check selfish salts
faction and awaken charity. Hinged
round by corner sketches of automo-
bile parties, tennis courts, golf and the
sports and pleasures of out doors, the
central figures of the cartoon show a
lone woman in a squalid room holding
a dying baby in her arms. A steaming
washtub sits on bench at her back,
the sun steals thru the uncurtained
windows. There is death on the fea-
lures Of the child and the WEAKNESS of
HOPELESS despair on the face Of the
mother.
It Is the fly in the ointment of our
pleasures The knowledge that the car
toon tells a common story hurts our
happiness. 1t touches our consciences
with a sense of our own selfish dere-
LECTION. We know that no widows's
baby should die in the steam of the
washtub for lack of proper food and
ice and medical attendance. The car
toon reminds of Cain, who was not his
brothers keeper. None who sits in lux
ury and comfort while the helpless suf-
fer. but must condemn himself. Then
where shall be the balance when the
recording angel draws the accounts of
human life?
Let us remember the less fortunate,
the women at the washtubs, the babies
dying Of heat and inanition, the old
men in their helpless poverty and the
cripples crawling thru life where we
walk erect. The breezes that blow
over the cities carry to the sea and
summer resorts the lamentation Of the
unfortunate and helpless. Let us listen
and remember, for "Inasmuch as We did
it not unto the least of these, We did
it not unto Me-"

the LUNCH COUNTER IN RELIGION.

Tn another column President Carlyle
s,,n,n,erbell of Palmer College, offers
some excellent suggestions along ''ie
line of religion and refreshments
Rev S,,mn,erbell who objects to me
drawn between the social and splri,ual
in religion and desires to know where
the line should be drawn, is apparently
and nroperlv more concerned with the
usefulness of the church than hs als-
nifty and it is to be inferred, frleno 10
the "free lunch" innovation as sug-
gested by The Des Moines minister as
an attraction to non-chuNh soers.
Rev. Summerbell's article fails to dis
tinguish between the cup of cold water
given in His name and the free lunch
offered to draw the crowd. Doubtless
he will readily admit the difference
between thu, beautiful charity thatfe
the hungry and clothes the naked and
a church rattle or an ice cream social.
The difference between refreshments
given with the purpose Of filling the
church auditorium and aid given to the
needy in the name of God and the spir-
1t Of charity, is the difference between
advertising and altruism. between the
pharisee and the publican, business
enterprise and religion, between the
free lunch offered by the saloon and
the mama that fell from heaven.
The core of religion is helpfulness.
When one religion fails to meet the
needs OF mankind another must
take its place. The Christian
religion and theChrstian church
as whole are the life
buoys Of the world. Their buoyancy
lies more In the promise of a new and
spiritual life here and hereafter than
In any pledge Of material advantage.
The power that draws men toward the
church because it is the church Is
scarcely to be supplemented by the
lunch counter.
The Y. M. c. A. and the various
helpful associations and societies are
doing efficient and valuable work.
They are. however, all only the ten
tacles that reach from the central
body Of the church, only avenues to
higher spiritual knowledge. The
church must stand to them as the Sab
bath to the working week days, and it
may be well to keep 1t holy from the
lunch counter as an advertising feat
