TT was in Norfolk, Va. that saw the
experiment first tried. The moving spirit
Of that colony was the superintendent OF
the Norfolk Railroad Co. He secured and
moved 40 families on land. Seeds, tools
and tents were given them and they were
taught how to till the ground. 1t speaks
well for the practical side Of the thing
that these 40 families who had never
been anything but human derelicts. who
had never in all their poverty stricken
lives owned anything but the rags on
their backs, in two years paid for their
holdings and became self supporting. self
respecting members of society What can
be done in Norfolk can be done in Los
Angeles But we shall need the help
and cooperation of the community.
1T is almost imperative that we have

to these poor people until their crops
grow. So far everybody has been kind.
but the interest is confined to such a
small circle.
'fOur hope is to have this colony grow
until the interest in it shall be SO great
that 1t will draw the people of the slums
to IT by force OF what it has done for
their friends.
Someone has to start these things, and
we hope that the move will be the be-
ginning of better times for the poor and
sick who would be self supporting II they

real "old fashioned" Fourth of July
weather-hot and sticky. While the
temperature at a. m. was 10 degrees
lower than at the same hour yesterday
when 1t Nregistered 81 degrees, the day
was just as uncomfortable because OF
the extremely high percentage of hui
midity. Yesterday 1t was 81 per cent
and this morning 1t was SO. Fifteen
deaths and more than 100 prostrations
have been reported during the present
heat wave.
Despite the safe and sane Fourth Of

early today but the number was not
nearly as large as in other years. There
were the usual patriotic exercises in
Independence square in the forenoon
and in many parts of the city.
