Many of his neighbors were benefited
in the same way. It's the hand OF
providence, that's what he says.
The greatest September in the
history of the Los Angeles clearing
house ended with bank clearings for
the month, tota1ing $208,331,67 Not
only is this $10,126,107 greater than
during before but it runs far ahead
of any month report to the second
half of this year. The month also
set a new record by having a single
day with the largest clearings in all
the years of local banking. This
totaled $13,030,035.98 There is
plenty of money and everybody seems
to be buying what he wants.
Broadway, New York may have it's
dazzling footlights and it's whirling
white lights but they are only make
shifts when compared to the good
old fashioned sunlight Of Broadway
Los Angeles.
According to Mable Scott, who re.
Gently dashed the grease paint away
in her dressing room in New York
theatre and FASTENED to Los Angeles
to answer the call of the movies. Oh,
its just wonderful! It is indeed the
garden spot of the world. She is to
appear with players-Laskey corpora
ton as leading lady.
Food Cost Low
Los Angeles ranks low as to food
cost Los Angeles may be justified
in demanding downward revision of
the cost Of living but at the same
time residents, Of this city are more
fortunate than those Of many other
sections of the United States. The
expenditures for food in 43 different
American cities were listed; Los
Angeles appears third from the bot
tom of the lst-Lawrence, Mass,
heading the list A family of five
spending in a year 1902 for food. The
figures for Los Angeles are $494.
Los Angeles has an army store
where the government see everything
that is found in department store
at cost and smashing the H. G. of L..
prices. They have 80 clerks, all SER
vice men, and the rush to take ad-
vantage of the bargains offered re-
semble a presidential parade or
world series base ball game. The
store opens at 9 a. m. but there is a
line at the door at 1880 and when
they get in the clerks are in danger
Of being trampled to death.
| We have very charitable old man
here. For years he provided Chris
tmas trees and toys for poor children
| Three years ago on account of the
war he could not obtain the toys SO
he began giving chicken turkeys and
ducks to the poor people but upon
investigation found out some Of them
had yards full of their own chickens
and fatter bank account than he can
| claim, so he switched and is going to
give a New Years dinner to the blind
| and crippled men, their wives and
| children. One hundred turkeys will
be provided for the feast.
Continued from yesterday
| A fair analysis of the Los Angeles
[ housing situation shows that build
ing operations underway are entirely
inadequate to meet the demand. Evil
dence accumulated to prove there will
be an usual influx of tourists and
homeseekers during the winter
months and the rush will come earl
Ter than usual. Rental agents are un-
able to supply the houses called for
and will soon be shortage Of houses
| for sale. Hunting a eleven flat is
some job. The landlords are getting
so bold that in some part of the city
they bar children. One house owner
says: 81 win rent my house to you
provided you give me $500 to put in
the bank. At the end of the year I
will come here and see what damage
the children haVe done and I will
pay for it out of the $500 in addition
to sos month rent" Are you really
so hard up as that said "Of course
/ have two children. The second day
of my searching for flat proved a
! REPETITION of the first. The owners
