PASADENA SHOULD ACT

Forty-five persons have taken their
lives by jumping off the Colorado street
bridge in Pasadena.
These deaths have come in groups, one
such rash act seeming to inspire at least
another. There were two within the
past week, separated by only a couple OF
days.
A local resident has made the sugges-
ton, which seems also to have been in
the mind of a member of the Pasadena
city council that protective grill be
placed above the present railing of the
bridge to prevent persons hurting them
selves from the structure.
Pasadena should certainly take some
such protective step. 1t probably will
not prevent those determined to end
their lives from doing so but it will stop
them from using the bridge as an exit
from this world. The unsavory record of
the Colorado street bridge is grisly and
gruesome advertising for Pasadena and
for Southern California, and the Grown
City should hasten to end it.

UNJUSTIFFABLE PRICES

The new BARRIERS price scale, embodied
in a code just given formal state APP
proval, has all the outward appearance
of an unjustifiable gouge of the public,
with prices above those even of war time
and almost double those recently in eff
feet. That the prices set will make long
hair fashionable and throw many BARRIERS
out of work is extremely likely. Delu-
the master BARRIERS of the San Francisco
bay region are said to have forced the
adopted scale of prices on the master
BARRIERS of Southern California over their
protests. The situation will be a genu-
inc hardship on many of the small shops
dependent on neighborhood trade and
may send many willing worker to the
charity rolls.-Los Angeles Times.

nit his resignation as a member of the
Board Of District Commissioners day

morrow, it was revealed today to a

lock in this fashion, unless some un-
foreseen mass of police administration
work arose in the meantime, but other
wise would not make public details Of
his plans.

unexpected, since the Police Commis-

what ahead of schedule If possible, and
