TTOME, how much the one word
II home, means to each and ev'
- cry one Of Us. To those
whose homes are supported by
wealth It means comfort, ease
and luxury; to the poor, be It ever
90 humble, there is no place like
home, yet how much more 1t means
to those who have no homes, for
instance, to girls who have been
betrayed or have fallen from the
qraces of the world by first mis-.
take. To have some place where
they can seek refuge from the curl
Gus multitude Of people who look
upon them not with sympathy and
compassion, but with feeling Of
disrespect.
One place where girls may find
such a place of refuge is the Flor
ence Crittenton Rescue home of
this city. 1t is large frame build
ing of 80 rooms, which are newly
and nicely furnished There is an
atmosphere of refinement and com
fort about the place. Miss Me

iron of the home, though young in
years, has had eight years expert
ence in the mission work.
LAS a general rule we have from
IS to 25 girls in our home at one
time, and we have had as many as
Sc wronged women in our building
in one month";" said Miss Niemann.
"A great deal of the unhappy ex-
periences of these girls is due in a
way to lack of encouragement from
fellow citizens. The public is to
blame. Who ever says to girl
who is struggling alone, You are
being brave? They do nothing
toward encouraging girls.
TWENTY CHILDREN.

Government Appropriation for
Harbor and FortificationS for
Los Angeles Is Liberal

Possibilities for profitable invest

tied. The large investors are naturally
looking toward san Pedro for the fol-
lowing reasons: The United States
government has just about completed
its breakWater. at a. cost of So 900, 900.
1t has appropriated over $500 900 for
further improvements in the inner and
outer harbor and has just completed
the purchase of a fortification site at
a cost of $299, 900, upon which it is pro-
posed to spend at least $6,000000 for
fortifications. The Union Oil company
or Miner syndicate is expending over
100000 in the outer harbor, filing in,
reclaiming and dredging slips to ac-
commodate deep water shipping. 1t is
also proposed to build docks and ware
houses. The city of Los Angeles has
Just voted bonds to the extent of So
100000, which money is to be expended
as follows 100000 to reclaim 146
acres in the so-called outer harbor.
This money will also be used for build
ing docks and warehouses to accom-
modate the deep water shipping; ST.
000, 900 to be expended in the inner har-
Dor. The Pacific Wharf and Storage
company, another large corporation, is
expending thousands of dollars i'm
proving its holdings in the inner and
outer harbor.
All this work is progressing daily.
and to appreciate the fact one must
see it.
The outer harbor of San Pedro is one
of the busiest spots in Southern Cali

NEW MOTOR CAR LINE

Many important developments have
taken place in connection with the
opening of the Lankershim and Van
Nuys ranch. San Fernando valley,
which is scheduled to take place
Wednesday. May %.
The tract Is so large, over AZ, 900 acres,
that the board of control has decided
to devote the first week of the open

over the property, thereby, giving
everyone an opportunity to make In
teligent selections, actual selling to
begin one week later on June l.
Gasoline motor cars will be placed
in operation by the Southern Pacific
railway, through the San Fernando
valley, commencing Wednesday, May
25. and the present schedule will
provide two trains each day. This Will
be the first opportunity the public has
had to test the utility of these cars
in actual suburban use.
That this great property lying so
close to Los Angeles and practically
unoccupied has been the object of in
creasing interest for many years Is
shown by the overwhelming demand
for literature and. information, at the
offices of the Los Ang les Suburban
Homes company. Already two edi-
tions of booklets have been exhausted
and the mass of inquiries and cor
respondence has compelled the office
force to keep long hours.

THOUGHTS BY TIE WAY

Col. Roosevelt, the unreliable
and changeable apostle of a new
nationalisn that would place all the
powers of the government in the
hands of an executive, continues
to make breaks which demonstrates
that he talks without thinking.
Last week at banquet in Indiana,
he called Judge Anderson, of the
United States court, a iackass
and crook" man whom he ap-
pointed to the bench and whose
offending was, because he rendered
decision In accord with the law,
and not In harmony with the views
OF Roosevelt, who would, had he
his way, set aside law-th consti-
tuition and bring on a reign of an
archy and lawlessness. AS chief
executive of the nation, he talked
one thing and did the opposite, and
showed that he was unsafe as are
all men of his temperament, who
have an abnormal breaking out at
the mouth.
