LEVEL CROSSINGS

T last there is reasonable ground to
u believe the question of dangerous
railroad crossings in Los Angeles
will be dealt with efficiently by the
board of public utilities. and The Her
aid would urge action should be taken
as speedily as possible. The condition
of railroad crossings has long been a
matter of scandal and disgrace to Los
Angeles, and has been detrimental to
its best interests. After the deadly
crossings had been abolished in older
municipalities. in other parts of the
nation and of the world, Los Angeles
continued to cherish the gridiron sys-
tenn, and from time to time to shock
civilization with the news of dreadful
accident. Passengers who use car lines
which at street level cross from one
to three railroad tracks know full well
there is a certain element of jeopardy
in every trip they take, and this in
spite of the fact the conductor runs
ahead to the railroad and waves his
hand to the motorman to signify alPs
clear.
When this duty is peNunctorily per-
formed, especially after dark, when the
conductor obviously seems to take
it for granted" there's nothing on the
track, and begins to wave his hand al
most before he has left the car step,
there is certainly a degree of risk.
The conductor does not stop, he does
not look, he does not listen. He rushes
III Tho
only satisfactory manner in which
these crossings can be dealt with is
the thorough manner. They should be
abolished. The car lines should be
taken over or under the railroad line.

RoME'S LESSON

h hOPHEAVY with unequal wealth,
Roman society was already stag
gering in the days of Horace.
Horace tells us that all around him
was wealth, wealth, wealth; that the
ambition of the citizen was to gain
wealth in order to build fine houses in
town and villas in the country; to
stock them with statues, old bronzes,
ivories, pictures, gold plate, pottery,
tapestry, stuffs from the looms of Tyre;
TO give gorgeous dinners, and wash
them down with the costliest wines;
to provide splendid equipages; to buy
the front seats at theaters; to attract
"gadfy friends, who will consume your
time, eat your dinners. drink your
wines and then abuse them, and will
with amiable candor regale their cir
Gle by quizzing your foibles or SLAM
dering your taste, if they are even so
kind as to spare your character"
And, said Horace, you fret yourself
to acquire your wealth. You fret your
self lest you should lose 1t. 1t robs you
of your health. your ease of mind, your
freedom of thought and action. Riches
will not bribe inexorable death to spare
you. At any hour that great leveler
may sweep you away into darkness and
dust, and what will 1t then avail you
that you have wasted all your hours
and foregone all wholesome pleasures
in adding ingbt to ingot, or acre to
acre, for your heirs to squander?"
II the Romans had taken the advice
of Horace and of the sages, and had
checked debauchery, encouraged neigh
borIiness and cultivated simplicity, the
barbarian would have been hurled back
from the gates of the Eternal City, and
she would still be the Mistress of the
World.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

N REATER LOS ANGELES, with
tT East Hollywood added, is a richer
VI and more attractive city than
ever. East Hollywood is one of the
finest of all our suburban districts. 1t
is well laid out. well built. well paved,
well lighted, and brings within the city
great park area. Greater Los Ange-
les is the most fortunate city in the
world. It's metropolitan dimensions are
expanded until the city area is pre-
pared for the million population that
will undoubtedly be its record within
the lifetime OF most of our readers.
Greater Los Angeles boosters have
every reason to be proud of the prog

Probable Reconciliation Of the Prin-

Wife's Tacit Admission.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, March 19.-When
seen at her home today Mrs. Jack Cud-
ahy intimated that there would be a rec
onciliation between herself and Mr.. Cud-
ahy.
Just how this reconciliation will be
brought about Mrs. Cudahy would not
say. She declares that there has been
no overtures from her husband so far
nor from his attorneys, but when asked
she merely shrugged her shoulders and
smiled. She would not deny 1t.
Shortly after the assault on Jere Lillis
in the Cudahy home two weeks ago Mrs.
Cudaahy was bitter in her denunciation
of her husband. She declared at the time
that she never wanted to see his face
again. She also said that the name Of
Cudahy was repulsive to her.
No Friend Of Jacks.
A few days ago Mrs. Cudahy received
a telephone call from some woman who
wouldn't give her name.
rs Jack there?'' the voice inquired.
who is this. please?" asked Mrs. Cud-
ahy.
This is a friend Of jacks
mo. you are no friend OF Mr..
Cudahys,' replied Mrs. Cudahy. Mr..
Cudahy has no women friends who call
him up over the phone and ask for
Jack. !"
Mrs Cudahy. in speaking of the Incl
dent, said that the woman did not know
Mr. Cudahy and only sought to make her
jealous.
"Mr. Cudahy does not run around with
other women" she said. THAT Is some
thing that he cannot be justly accused
Of He has faults. but that is not one
of them

FOOD PRICES IN LONDON
COST OF LIVING SAME AS IN
UNITED STATES.
Statistics Regarding Wages, and
Charges for Provisions and Lodg-
ing-Comparisons Are Made.

That the cost of living to the laboring
classes of London is correspondingly not
much less than in any of the large cities
in the United States is made manifest
in report to the bureau of manufac-
lures of the Department of Commerce
and Labor by special agent who mas
completed an investigation of the general
condition of the labor population OF the
London district.
In a review of the wages paid to vari-
Gus trades it is evident that the earnings
of the London workman are as cores
pondlngiy low as is his cost of living
Taxicab drivers, making from $15 to go
week, the agent says. are unquestion-
ably the best paid workmen in the city
Pay Of the Police.
The best paid London policeman gets
$1O.33 a week. a letter carrier $3.50 at the
most. and in the engineering trades the
maximum wage is a little more than 30
weekly.
Prices of food and lodgings, taken from
lslington. Hackney and Whitechapel
the principal laboring districts of the
city, represent that food and lodging for
workman with wife and two children
will come to minimum of 1914 90 shil-
lings) week. This compared with the
average wage and those earning from
better paid shows perhaps little diff
ference with the cost of living in
America.

charitable organizations reported that
during the last two to five wears the
workmen ready for employment had not
been able to get more than Go to Is per

COL, HEPBURN's COMMENT.
Thinks Greatest Evil Is Appoint
ment Of Committees by Speaker.

Col. pete" Hepburn, former represent
alive from Wisconsin and the original in
surgent against the House rules, watched
the fight between TIE republican organiza-
ton to maintain the rules and the allied
democrats and republican insurgents from
the floor Of the House.
'I have always been opposed to the
House rules as they existed" said Col.
Hepburn. 81 started the fight on them
years ago. I do not consider this victory
important today, except as a forerunner
to what may come.
1.-The greatest evil under the present rules
is leaving the power of appointing the
standing committees In the hands Of the
Speaker II this new and enlarged COM
mittee on rules, which is proposed by
Norris can be made into a committee on
committees, the backbone of the old sys-
tenn will be broken and we may expect
great things.
IT do not take much stock in this talk
about Joe Cannon's being car. He ad-
ministered the rules of the House as
fairly as any man could have done. The
trouble has been with the system
Col Hepburn was beaten In the last
congressional campaign. There has been
talk recently that he will be a candidate
for the House again next fall.
