FLEET AND TOURISTS

4 RAILROAD MAN man says that

neighbor cities and towns are en-
Pertaining 100000 tourists. While it is
decidedly unfair to the business men
engaged in Industrial and other enter
prises to say that LOS Angeles de-
ponds on the tourists" it is equally I'M
fair and ungracious to deny that the
tourist traffic is still considerable fac
tor in the prosperity of Los Angeles.
This year the visit of the fleet will
make the presence of the tourists of
unusual Importance to our state. They
win help to advertise the fact that San
Pedro affords ample and secure an

try will realize the worth, the value

Dor.

Another clever accountant has in
jured his mind by overwork. Some
people need to be prodded before they
will work. Some need to be restrained
or they will work till they drop. Soon
err or later the man that will not hus-
band his strength and keep a reserve
of energy pays for it by enforced
leisure. Some people hate to work.
Some people hate to play. As Burns
SAID. life is all a variorum. No human
being can ever be induced to profit
by the experiences of another human
being. We are stiff-necked and re-
belllous generation.

wander away to some lone dump and
