Last Letter From Los Angeles
Badgers Tells of Banner Year
for That City

This was a banner year for travel
tn this city.
Los Angtles was overlooking today
4(Feb. u with the largest number OF
eastern visitors in the history Of the
! city. An average of l person in every
q. who asked for accommodation at
the downtown hostelries, was able to
get a room; others either slept on
cots or they sought shelter with
friends or went to near by towns.
They are coming from everywhere;
kilograms for. reservations is the rule
-aaDw aC0ys.
Surprising in number of exhibits
and actual beauty displays of past
years, the 18th annual Orange show
opened Jan. 81 at Sanbamardino,
starting a 10 day round of pleasure in
celebration of another bountiful har-
vest. They expected 175,000 visitors
an 10 days.
Real Life Story
A husband picks out swell look
ing girl to help the wife do the work.
The wife says she does not need any
help, but the husband insists on it.
He wants to make it easy for the wife,
NOW there is divorce. The minute
nan tries to pick anything but a
wife he is going to have trouble. 1t
Xooks as though the women has things
fixed with the judge and have more
p10pa.'.' aid other righ.s that tfey
have coming to them. If they don't
take away mans job, they lie in
wait for his pay envelope under the
name of alimony. How many men
are drawing alimOny from a divorced
wife? If a man speaks kindly to the
cashier he must pay her $1,000 for
breach of promise and if he marriers
hper, he has to mortgage his stuff to
IDay her $50 month.
Tourists who went home to pan
HOS Angeles have suffered a change
1Of heart. Those from Chicago, Detroit
ST. Louis, Kansas City and other
eastern cities, who returned home in
Ghe frame of mind loudly to voice
condemnation in terms of robber rent
er and rObber prices, are beginning
to awaken to the ACCESSIBILITY of be-
ginning crit ism like charity at home
FOR they are getting worse dose at
nome than they did in Los Angeles
False impressions from a few profit
teering landlords and price robbers
are being cleared.
Cheaper Living in the West
A letter was received today from
a real estate dealer and builder of
Chicago who is familiar with Los
Angeles and it's market prices because
me owns a bungalow and lives here
during the winter months. In Chicago
there are big rents and a pro pect of
"a raise May 1st and a great deal Of
labor trouble. Green foodstuffs are
IA higher in Chicago than here and
there are SHOWS and bitter weather
generally to contend with.
Think of getting dozen oranges
for 25 cents, large lemons 10 cents
dozen, walnuts pounds for quarter,
"a ounces of bread for 10 cents and so
son and people can work 365 days
year. In the east you can get vege-
tables about 8 months of the year and
mere every month of the year While
the east burrowed through the snow
of one of the worst winter storms in
its history, Los Angeles perspired in
a high summer temperature, it being
80 degrees the highest for February
in SO years. Straw hats, bathing
suits and white pants are conspicu-
oUGrs here. Los Angeles to New York
IN 80 hours is the aerial mail service
which is expected between Los Angel
Ses and the Atlantic coast.
Tribute to Washington
Yowa's biggest one yet: 10000 peo
pie damned Lincoln park recently for
the annual picnic and heard notables
pay tribute to the memory OF George
Washington, it being his birthday.
From the lips of the most distinguish
ed speakers ever the society was
addressed. Former Governor Frank
20 Lowden of Illinois was orator of the
sday. No man in the history of the
world left a more priceless heritage
10 his countrymen than Washington
IN his farewell address. There are 80
counties in Iowa and all were repre-
scented.
Ralph De Palma emphasized the
fact that he is one of the greatest
auto race drivers in the world and
owns an auto that is no ash can. Ee
drove his baby Ballot around The sreed
way at~an average speed of 1O7 miles
sEn honr Only one man didn't get a
thrill out of it he was in the Emer-
~rency hospital with a knife in one
hand waiting for the dead and injured
to be carted in, but none came. Brush
rs between drivers kept the crowd
on its feet. The feature of the 3rd
heat was Jimmy Murphy's sprint.
There were four machines ahead of
hin but when he started nothing
