the average famiiy The, census Of
that city shows 1S42 families With 279S
children.
And so in the sister cities the Wild
cat query has given place to the alb
sorbing question. Why is the weird
wall of the wild waves more conducive
to business for the stork than the
soughing of the zephyrs among the per-
fumed boughs of the orange trees?
The especially poor infantile showing
of Redlands moves the Review of that
city sorrowfully to sum up the situation
thus: Here in Redlands there are two
children to a family. In San Bernar-
dino the ratio is about two and quar-
ter youngsters to each hearthstone.
But down in Long Beach three little
olive branches twine themselves around
papa's leg and clamor for tops and
marbles and coasters and skates and
things"
And then the Review passes the ques-
tion along in this fashion: "It's sure
shot that something is wrong, and If
it isn't climate. what is it?"

NEW LINE WILL
SAVE MUCH TIME
Ten Minutes to Be Gained in Run to
Hollywood II the Franchise
Asked for Should Be
Granted

e. r. Walker of Hollywood last night
applied TO the members of the board
of trustees of that city for a franchise
for the Los Angeles-Pacific on Frank
lin avenue, from Grand View boulevard
west to Highland avenue and south on
Highland to Prospect avenue.
Mr.. Walker recently applied to the
county supervisors for franchise for
the Los Angeles-Pacif1c for a line from
the southern city limits to run north
on Western avenue to Franklin; west
on Franklin to Grand View boulevard.
south on Grand View to Vine street
and south on Vine to Prospect avenue.
The first franchise applied for was
within Los Angeles county, while the
second passed through the city of
Hollywood as we'll. These lines will
make two loops along the foothills
through the city and will connect with
the new Fourth street tunnel down
Western avenue. 1t will give ten
minutes shorter car service with Los
Angeles.

THE ECCENTRIC STORK

Why is the yield of the baby crop
more abundant at the seaside than at
points in the interior? That question
has taken the place, as a moot subject,
of the interesting query about the cause
OF the wildcats wildness. Several of
the urban sisters of Los Angeles are
agitated over the baby crop question
city.
The recent enumeration of children
in the school census has disclosed facts
forming the basis of much discussion
in the press of the neighboring cities.
1t seems that the ratio of children to
total population varies so widely that
the difference is unaccountable on any
known hypothesis.
For instance, in Long Beach, accord
ing to the new school census, there are
1899 families with an aggregate of 1903
children. That is equivalent to an aver
age of about three youngsters to a
family. In San Bernardino there are
1884 families, only fifteen less than in
Long Beach, but the number of chill
dren is 1859. Although there is diff
ference of so few families between the
two cities the seaside city has 1144 more
children than it's sister eighty miles
away in the interior.
Even III the orange embowered city
of RedIands, where 1t would seem the
infantile crop should be peculiarly pro-
life. the showing is relatively even
worse than in San Bernardino. In Red
lands there is shortage of 3S per cent
in youngsters as compared with Long
Beach, there being only about two to

FOUR WEEKS HENCE

Just four weeks hence readers of The
Herald will see the election returns
settling finally and concluslvely the
issue concerning the Owens river water
proposition. The Endorsement of the
bonds by popular vote will remove the
last obstacle to the construction of the
great water system for the Greater Los
Angeles.
The four weeks intervening prior to
the bond election day, June IL, will
pass quickly. In the meantime 1t is
important to arouse public interest in
the matter to such a pitch that the
fullest possible vote may be registered
in favor Of the proposition.
It is estimated by the city's repre-
septatives in the water department that
the corporations which are antagoniz-
ing the project cannot muster more
than a 10 per cent negative vote. The
claim made by the feeble newspaper
organ of the opposition that the project
will be opposed by any other than the
corporate interests is ridiculed by the
best judges Of the situation.
But while there is no question about
the general result of the election there
is danger that consciousness of the fact
may lead many voters to think their
Individual ballots would be unimpor-
tant Every affirmative ballot will be
important because it will make the ag-
gregate vote that much nearer the
unanimous Endorsement that would be
assured but for the selfish opposition
of the corporations as expressed by
their little organ.
To the city of Los Angeles the coming
bond election will be the most momen-
tous event in the history of the COM
munity. 1t will decide the question
whether Los Angeles shall go forward
unimpeded in it's splendid progress or
be checked and stunted in it's growth
by lack Of an adequate water supply.
That issue should move every citizen,
not moved by mercenary motives, to
go to the polls on June IL and register
his desire to see realized the great
destiny that awaits Los Angeles, and
which can be jeopardized only by such
obstructive efforts as are made to de-
feat the Owens river water project.
