FREE HARBOR is
BENEFIT TO ALL
PORT WILL PROFIT CITY AND
COUNTRY MAN EQUALLY
Much Good Will Result from Water
Front, and Farmer and Mer-
chant Should Work to
Secure 1t

What practical and direct benefit
Will municipal control of the Los An
geles county harbor bring to a resi-
dent of Pasadena or other inside dis
trict who does not own property or a
business directly interested in the
water front?"
That question, which has been dis
cussed considerably by persons inter-
'ested, was sent to the Municipal Water
ways association yesterday afternoon.
1t may be answered easily and
forcibly,' said H. c. Quick, secretary
of the association. "The orange and
walnut grower, for instance, will be
benefited as substantially and re-
Warded as surely for their energies in
obtaining free harbor for Los Angeles
as any business man or property owner
in the city.
First, because a free harbor for Los
Angeles would put water rates in COM
petition with rail rates. and as the
former are so much less it would be
the direct cause of forcing the rail-
roads to give a rate that would favor
ably compare or they would not re-
ceive the support of shippers. This ac-
compliShed, the growers will have an
opportunity to receive a fair profit on
their investment and labor It will
also enable people in eastern and north
ern states to purchase our products at
W
flnitely greater market.
California Fruits Not Luxury
To-day the average laborer in the
eastern states looks upon California
fruits and nuts as luxuries rather than
ordinary foodstuffs. Thousands of
families who otherwise would become
regular consumers of great quantities
of our products do not do so today be-
cause they are considered to expensive.
And why? Because the railroads
charge SO high a rate for shipping that
by the time a box of oranges lands in
Chicago or New York it is practically
worth its weight in gold.
IF we were able to ship products and
fruits at reasonable rates, thereby
placing them within the reach of rich
and poor alike. our orange groves and
walnut ranches would be taxed to
their greatest capacity to supply even
a small percentage of the demand. The
planting of thousands of additional
acres of oranges, lemons and Walnuts
would be a necessity.
ST can find hardly a difference in the
direct benefit to be derived by citizens
living in Los Angeles and those re-
siding in adjacent cities and commune
ties within a radius of 100 miles. It
will benefit all to work for the cause Of
a free harbor.'

BEAUTY PARLOR PROPRIETOR
SUES TO RECOVER CHARGE
Defendant Retaliates by Filing Suit in
Which She Demands $2oo for
Alleged Injuries to
Her Face

When John T. Harris, who is pro-
prietor of beauty parlor,'' told Mrs
Christine Leslie, proprietor OF the
Franklin house, North Broadway, that
he could remove yellow blotches and
blemishes from her face, Mrs. Leslie
was sufficiently impressed to engage
his services. Later, she said, her facial
condition became worse. Her eyesight
also was injured, she alleges, and she
refused to pay a balance of $50 which
Harris said she owed him.
Last week Harris filed suit in JUS
tice Summerfields court to recover a
sum said by him to be due. Mrs
Leslie retaliated yesterday, when she
filed a denial of his charges and in
addition demanded 1929 on account OF
the alleged injuries to her complexion

Whether Attorney Is
There or Not

GEORGE JUNIOR REPUBLIC
ACQUIRES NEW LOCATION

Arrangements have been completed
for the purchase of a new site for the
George Junior republic. The republic
will be moved from its present location
near San Fernando to the new farm,
which consists of 213 acres on the Chino
ranch, four miles southeast of Pomona.
Negotiations have been completed,
and it only remains to transfer the
land. The main object in making a
change was to secure more land which
the young citizens of the republic might
cultivate.
The land purchased is said to be the
best on the Chino ranch. 1t is peat
land, adapted to the cultivation of cell
cry. 1t will cost about $3.50 an acre.
Several thousand dollars will be eX-
pended in new buildings. In place of
housing the children in one large build
ing, number of smaller structures will
be erected
