A community may sometimes over
reach itself in advertising its advan-
tages, climatic and commercial. "
For years the residents of Los Angeles
have been boosting. 10 as a place to
spend the winter, and, as a growing
center OF trade that promised large re-
turns to fasteners who Hentufed there.
And people went to Los Angeles from
every part Of the United States. THERE
was a welcome for tourists or investors
who came With money, but un-
fortunately for the city u host Of men
and women who had no funds TO fall
back upon was included In the south
western trek Now Les Angeles Is
reaplng the harvest Of It's over-eager-
ness to attract settlers: Thirty thou-
sand people are out Of Unemployment, and
they are becoming menace to the
peace and property Of the community"
Taking these remarks as a text the
Duluth Herald breaches short sermon
that Is well worth the thoughtful at
tention Of the people OF every city,
The Herald says:
The Los Angeles instance is merely
another evidence Of the folly Of the
craze FOR mere bieness, ana OF the
lengths to which this craze will lead a

mere bigness that makes for human
we'll being. Indeed, bigness often is
at the cost Of a congestion that makes
for human misery. That building can
not be safely made taller or wider than
It's foundation will bear is 4 lesson that
a man seems slow to learn. He has
learned it so far as its literal meaning
is concerned. He would not think Of
mounting 10-story building on a
fragile foundation, or Of erecting a
building hundred feet square on a
foundation 50 feet square. But he will
insist on trying to boom cities to pro-
portions twice as high and wide as the
foundation will bear; and invariably he
gets plnched when the unstable struc-
ture topples. And he always will get
pinched till he learns that the only safe
city building is that which keeps super.
structures in proportion to foundation
