The City Council at its meeting
last week urged an additSnal en-
trance for the new Federal and Gus
toms Building to be constructed this
spring. As the plans now stand,
they call for an entrance toward the
bay. It was estimated by members
of the Council that ninety per cent
of the citizens of the community
would approach the building by the
upper street lying to the north of
the grounds therefore an entrance
from that side would be most logi-
cal. L. B. Chisholm, City Clerk was
instructed to send a telegram to this
effect to Delegate Anthony P d.
mond in Washington asking that
the plans be modified to include a
corridor running through the CEN
ter of the building, which would be
minor change, to make an en-
trance from both the north and
south sides. The Chamber of Com
MERGE is also back of this plan.
Curfew came in for some discus
sion. C. H. Lloyd, Chief of Police,
stated that it was not with the
smaller youngsters he had difficult
ties but with the older children, 16
years of age or older, over whom
he had no jurisdiction. He said they
were frequently out in autos until
the early morning hours. The Coun-
Gil instructed him, as a remedy to
L
gate the occupants by taking their
names and any other necessary data
and the same be given the School
Board.
Attention was called to the need
of amending the traffic ordinance

viding for brake testing and seeing

In reply to wire sent Alaska

asking for a slight change of

two years. Yet the demand for
homes keeps uniform and steady.
You constantly meet people seeking
to buy homes. "For Rent signs
are seldom seen.
A great section known as San
Fernando Valley, is now open for
business and for homes. 1t is AS
large as Los Angeles itself. Until
now it has been given over to rich
fertile ranches, for dairy and truck
farming. Two of the worlds larg-
est dairies are here, one having
5000 of pedigreed stock. The CEN
sus gives $3.50 dairy cattle in the
county valued at $40, 100000, and
the annual dairy product is almost
double this. The valley lies between
the Santa Monica and Santa Susan
ma Mountains. 1t is reached by sew
eral passes. Cahuenga Pass, the
chief approach to the valley is now
being widened by steam shovels, to
eight or ten lanes. This improve
ment will cost $1,500,000. North
Hollywood is near the center and at
the east of Burbank, which in q
short time will become one with
North Hollywood. From the noun
tains it presents a grand and inter-
esting view.
Five great movie studios have To-
Gated here. They have an annual
payroll of $50 100000. The five
are Warner, Columbia, Universal,
Republic and Walt Disney. Wallace
Beery will soon build another here.
Several aircraft companies are here.
In 1888, 10000 home builders
settled in California, which is H.
900 month. More remarkable
still, $3.50 of all these settle in San
Fernando valley. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 home-seekers built
here 5000 homes in 1888, in North
Hollywood. 1t has grown up like a
mushroom in a night. 1t is great
manufacturing community, young
metropolis of movie and aircraft in
dustry. The latter employs in the
state 10000 men. An English or
der for 100 airships has been just
received. Hawaii is only nine hours
distant by airplane.
The government has built homes
here to furnish labor an extra
means of subsistence by adding a
garden for private use. The homes
are called the Saticoy Subsistence
Homesteads. Each home has a gar
den, and the day laborer in this way
is encouraged to be gardener, fol-
lowing somewhat the idea advanced
by Mr.. Ford. There is large wait

Americans, boasting of our civiliza-
ton, sometimes show streak OF
savagery by taking delight in caus-
ing bodily pain, distress or incon-

Pertaining to this particular incl
dent, about which we write, our
first impression of hazing was not
far from being right. Anyway there
was something in the air. The
idea of college students seemed to
be to initiate the newcomer so that
he would be recognized as one of
the gang. To preface what we have
in mind, not SO far back as the mis-
ty past, there was time when
young bloods of the town or city
had the wild and erroneous idea
that they were superior, made OF

brought up in the country. They
were dubbed country Jakes, F"
"clod-hoppers, "rubes," and Of

that way now, as many sections OF
the country have modern improve
ments and these have brought the

SNOKIN' 'EM OUT

At the time Of which we write,
not all young people were indiffer-
ent to the Importance of acquiring
an education. Many advanced in
the rural school, graduated in the
University of Hard Knocks, and
made quite a different mark from
an TX" by making for themselves
name, and occupying high places
among the intelligences OF our
country.
The more ambitious and ener-
getic obtained the means by earn
ing it for themselves, while others
were aided by interested parents.
But it is our belief that those who
succeeded best battled it through
for themselves-tea and saw
mig their money and then expended
it for books and more schooling.
They hitched their cart to star,
and ever kept pressing onward and
upward until they attained a high
pinnacle in the game of life.
Back in the days of our youth,
when simple words with two mean
ings was an enigma to us, we read
about certain college where they
made a practice of "hazing," partic-
ularly if the freshman happened TO
be from the country. Boy-like, we
got the impression that his "haz-
ing" was done with smoke or vapor
of some kind, creating a barrage so
that the victim would find him
self enveloped in a haze, or, in 9TH
er words 'lost in the fog" My aged
grandmother, who had been a
school teacher back in her native
New England state straightened me
out by explaining that the word
haze had another meaning, that
it also meant to tease, veX, lncon-
venience some innocent, unsuspect-
ing person under the guise of ''haV-
ing fun" that the practice OF haz-
ing would be particularly enjoyed
by those who had little or no re-
gard for the Golden Rule.
AS to the origin of the practice,
we know not. The idea may have
been borrowed from the Indians.

Meigs

In our work last week we met
two of our old friends, Mrs. Emma
Ferguson and J. j. Bell. While the
years have piled up on them they
still enjoy meeting and talking with
their friends which is not near as
much as we enjoy listening to them.
Dogs made a raid on r. F. Nc
Gregor's sheep last week, killing
four, injuring one. We listened in
while these sheep were appraised
and we are satisfied that there is
something wrong. When men put
in years building up their flock un-
til they are tops and have to list
them for taxation up and above or
binary sheep, then when dogs kill
them they can not get their worth.
Before you read this there will be
sadness in many hearts. Regardless
of who is elected to fill the greatest
office in the world, the U. S. A. will
continue to be a democracy. With
all the trained young men, and the
older men who can use their own
shot guns, our country is and will
be inpenetrable in spite of the hot
air that has been expended.
