siasm and good fellowship.

a large representation of the business
men Of Los Angeles is due to our neigh
boring city, in recognition of it's extern
sive patronage of commercial houses
here, in all lines of trade.
Friday, the day selected for the ex-
cursion will be one of exceptional in
terest, recalling more vividly, perhaps,
the days of the padres than any other
part of the celebration. The last bell

founded and the first white settlement

RECEPTION TO WHITTINGToN
President of National Association

derWriters and general agent for the
Aetna Life Insurance company in
Southern California, will arrive in Los

states where, at the present time, the
public is not protected from the get
rich-quick' insurance schemer who
feeds like a parasite on the insuring
public with his Especial contract" on
which enormous profits" are promised
for the future.
Mr.. Wilmington calls attention to
the fact that the speedy abolishment
of this class of business will tend to
keep the standing of the legitimate
companies on its present high plane,
and points out that as long as ques-
tionable methods are allowed to exist.
as they do in several states, the conf
dence of the people who buy life in
surance is in danger of being disturbed.
He declares that Colorado has the best
insurance laws of any state in the
union, while California is numbered
among those states which have no
laws to protect their citizens from the
life insurance salesman with his
ground floor" scheme.
The entertainment committee of the
Los Angeles Association of Life Tn
derwriters has issued a preliminary
announcement of it's plans for a recep-
tion to Mr Wilmington upon his re-
turn. The function will take the shape
of a banquet to be held at the Cali
fornia club May 2S. 1t will be a ladies'
night and several prominent Califor-
mans have been invited. including
