EJitorial Correspondence
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 28. Still Vchahmin" weather, as Mr.
Van Porter would say. Hopped a bus for a ride out Wilshire,
perching on the top, whore the ocean breezes blow. Outside
of the Fifth Ave. biwse,s in New York, nothing in the country
can compare with the L. A. busses from Pershing Square to
Santa Monica via Beverly Hills. They are fast, service is ex
cellent, and one nets a birdseye view without getting off the
ground or very far off.
Near Bullocks Wilshire the Goodyear blimp passed over
like a bloated silver fish, trailing a sign advertising the best
tires on earth, so m-ar the ground one could see figures in the
funny little gondola. Our next door neighbor volunteers the
information the blimp has been flying over southern California
for ten years and never had an accident. That is certainly an
advertisement for blimps!
Even on swanky Wilshire
atmosphere entirely. Near the
imposing dwelling 'ells the world "When my health breakfast
moves in, negative thoughts and constipation move out, signed
by the eminent Doctor Perchkoff, there was more to the ad
vertisement but the bug went by too fast for us to make it out.
.
We wonder just what NEGATIVE thoughts are. Perhaps
we better go up there for breakfast some morning and find out.
The charge is only 50 cents, and
would be a very interesting person, and might give us a few hot
tips on the final big race, which comes off tomorrow.
Did you ever see any customers in a pet shopf Of course
they must have oustomers or they would all have to go but of
business. There are always however so many on the outside
looking in and so few on the inside looking out. A bunch of
snappy looking airedale puppies were having a grand time in
one of the pet shops as we sped by, and there must have been
25 people watching the performance from the sidewalk. It
would have been hard for any customers to have gotten in if
they had wished to And we are quite certain there wasn't a
customer, immediate or potential among them.
Ah there is another intriguing 'sign, in that vine covered
bungalow none other than Rev. William E. Gladstone holds
forth, and will, if properly approached, give you psychic anal
ysis, astral prognosis, mental health manipulations and all for
one dollar. It is really a very inviting looking place. We won
der if he lias followed the example of the Pasadena "mortcinn"
and serves tea and cakes to those who drop in every afternoon.
,.
There is still plenty of real estate along Wilshire which one
can buy or lease for 99 years. Some dandy corner lots too. And
as far as we were nblo to note there is'.iust one new building
going up in all the ton miles from Pershing Square to the Los
Angeles golf club. Several down town however are having
their faces lifted in fact we have never seen so much of that
going on, any place, anywTiero, any time. The popular trans
formation is from a dull dirty grey to a bright cream stucco.
Incidentally tho lumber business is not benefitted by this sort
of work for the scaffolding isn't made of .timber but of iron
pipe, put up and taken down like erecto blocks in a child's
play room. Probably that isn't new but we never before-happened
to notice it.. When taking it down, the workmen run
about up there high in the air on a couple of planks like squir
rels. Do you suppose any normal human being could bo fitted
for that sort of work with the proper training or does it require
a certain peculiar temperament, a certain type of nervous sys
tem! We have an idea, there are some people no matter how
carefully they wero trained or how hard they tried who could
never do work high up in the air, skyscrapers, smoke stacks,
bridges, or what have you. They just aren't air minded just as
others aren't golf minded.
' And speaking of golf we alighted at the Los Angeles Country
club in Beverly Hills just in time to see the finals in tho ladies'
golf tournament, between Miss Abbott and Miss Thompson, won
by the former rathor easily although on tho first 18 they
wefe all square. It was the old old story, r youngster without
much tournament experience against an old hand with a lot of
it, the youngster held np nicely for a while but finally couldn't
stand the strain, and it was all over but the shouting.. So
history repeats itself saw Miss Abbott win the same tourna
ment at the same place two years ago, though then it was no
match at all, merely. n walk away. How good is Miss Abbott f
Well on a difficult courso she sohot a 79 that is she Could
spot Gene Thorndiko a stroke a hole and beat him 18 up,
(this for tho boys at the club who would liko a line on the sort
of golf the gals play here in southern California I)
. .
Met an old codger in tho gallery from Pasadena who knows
Chan Egan well and saw him win a lolig driving contest in
Chicago in the year of our Lord, 18971 That is what ho said,
we asked him twice. Chan was 14 and wore short pants. Can't
go into Unit further today better luck tomorrow. R. V. R.

BLUE MONDAY BRINGS
Back in the days before the de
pression when the Bread and M1U
club waa crowded, and we had to
close the adrala-
a 1 o n of new
members, the
q u a 1 1 f t cations
were quite sim
ple. To qualify
for membership
one had only, to
be a sound In
valid. , make a
d e c 1 a r atlon of
good faith and
renounce forever
his or her Intem
perate habits.
The Initiate pro
mised io eat only what he or she
wanted when he wanted It, no mat
ter who his cook or host or what the
occasion; and to set aside one day in
each week a day of respite for his
general metabolism. Officially Mon
day la designated as bread and milk
day. but this la a free club and every
member may choose his own blue day
to suit his own convenience, only so
It Is a fixed day the year round.
The thought behind the original
designation of Monday waa obvious
so many poor geeks put In euch
strenucus week-ends sitting and tak
ing on fuel.
The doors of the BScM club were
first thrown open to general mem
bership Nov. 7, 1914 I wonder how
many charter members are atlll blue
Mondays We were astonished and
terrified by the crush of applicants;
we had planned for five hundred new
members, but we had to accommo
date more than ten thousand. There
were no duea and no taboos other
than that against Intemperance Mon
days. By the way, If you ohew, smoke
or drink you had better not apply;
st least you can't have any on Mon
day. Blue Monday of every week (or any
other da of the week to suit Individ
ual convenience) B&M club members
take no other food but a glassful (8
to 8 ounces) of mtlk and some bread
stuff of one kind or another every
three hours from rising In the morn
ing up and Including the bedtime
snack Just before turning In at night.
That would give six glasses of milk a
day, from 39 to 48 ouncea, and from
four to eight ounces of bread. Milk
yields 30 calories to the ounce, bread
76 calories to the ounce, giving a
grand total of 1300 calories more or
leu for the day. As a bare mainten
ance diet for an adult lying abed
contains approximately 1800 calories,
and one for an adult up and moving I
about or doing light office work Is
3500 calories, it becomes apparent the
B&M club members give the poor old
metabolism a bit of a rest blue Mon.

The few sharp decreases In January
and February percentage mean only
statistical reaction from an abnormal
December. They really do not reflect
any general change of buslneaa trend.
What happened waa that the sta
tistically Influential automobile In
dustry produced heavily during De
cember and January Instead of in tne
spring. So also with building con
tracts. Th law required the gov
ernment to let a lot of contract In
December and January, when few
contracta are awarded ordinarily.
Thus the November-December-Jan
uary flgurea really represent a atatla
tlcal bump rather than any accumu
lation of muscle or fat.
The weather has brought some hes
itation within the automobile Indus
try. As aoon a the roads clear up.
they will get good test of what
kind of market to expect. Production
then can be planned mora Intelli
gently. No sine knows any more than
that about It now.
The extent to which production has
dropped la shown by unit production
of 408 for Dei-ember and 367 for Jan
uary, while February waa figured un
officially a few daya ago around 265.
That would put February under a
year ago. when the figure was 336.
Every major Index of buslneaa for
January and February (except auloal
will be above those of a year ago.
Officials are worried about the em
ployment decrease during the last 60
daya. which may turn out to be larger
than Indicated In the chart.
Steel business Insiders do not know
whether all the good things coming
their way will mean a permanent turn
or a fictitious one. All kinds of ma
chinery business Is taking steel now

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ;
Injection Treatment
: Can the injection treatment for
varicose veins be used successfully on
veins in hands and arms which are
too prominent? , . . (Mrs. H. F. V.)
Answer Yes.
Flora In Colon
Would a combination of butter
milk and white sugar, with a dlot
free of proteins destroy the excessive
bacteria In the colon and encourage
the growth of good bacteria? (LJ.)
Answer No. A diet Including plen
ty of milk and vegetables and oereals
encourages a vigorous growth of the
desirable bacteria and keeps the field
unfavorable for the growth of putre
factive bacteria. Sugar of any kind,
and starches not too well cooked pro
mote this result.
Sore Spot In Breast
A month ago I received a blow on
the breast. A spot haa been slightly
sore ever since, never painful, Just
tender enough to be felt. It worries
me, because of the possibility of I
cancer. I am 33, married . . . (D.
M. J.) ,
Answer If you were 44 you might
reasonably be anxious, but at your
age cancer Is extremely rare. If the
tender spot remains after you have
let it alone for a month, then have
you physician's advice.'
Sugar and Salt
How much sugar and salt should a
man SO years old consume? I get
moderate Indoor exercise , . , (A. H.)
- Answer Perhaps an average of
four ouncea of sugar and one-eighth
to one-fourth ounce of salt dally.

DAY BY DAY
By '0.0. Mclntyre
NEW YORK, Feb. 29. Having Just
seen an old friend off for bis home
town I returned through the boll of
the evening rush with a back yonder
tingle. A sort of
tug for the
d r o w z e of
peaceful village
in contrast to
the galloping
madness of the
current scene I
Our tow
cleave to the
swerve of a. river
Li bend and la nev-
fcni nir i.wBl a
during that hour
between thin lemon sunshine and
purpling dusk. While New York re
leasee Its hordes In maddening erup
tion our town merely dries up like
rain onthe Sahara.
There Is no greater peace than that
whlcn descends on the small town
when day is done. It becomes wrapt
In a calm that Is breathless. The
even-song of birds, the murmur of
trees, the noises of the street seem
to whisper a respectful accolade to a
dying day.
No sound I have heard has the ex
quisite loneliness, a sublimity what
suggest Oethsemene, like the tolling
vesperal bells of a tiny Ivied church.
And there's . something exquisitely
poignant about the valiant efforts of
crickets to chirp an overtone of cheer.
I've known the city many more
years than the small town and it's
possible my occasional nostalgia is
specious sentimentality. It is always
at sundown and seems lnourable. I
think I want to go back but shrink
.from going fearful I shall miss th
roars and excitements that make a
city detestable yet hypnotic.
I read my home dally regularly. A
personal Item that the Squire Maucks,
Harry Maddy end others I know have
been guests at this party and. that
whelps a longing yet I know ao many
passing years have lapsed our friend
ships Into mutual restraint. It would
take weeks to get back on the fa
miliar, long ago basis. Several years
ago I ran into a fellow with whom
I had spent innumerable hours, hours
that ran Into daya and days into
weeks, when each was younger. It was
an affectionate and joyous reunion
that is for about a half hour. Then
we ran out of talk. We forced a cor
diality, and Interest we did not feel
and finally made excuses and drifted
off. We should not have tried to
bridge the gap in one meeting. Some
thing happened neither could explain.
We have met several times since, but
always with a flick of em harassment.
We would have been better off with
only our memories.
In three-sheeting the small town I
am conscious life's pattern, there can
be deadly dull. I know the monotony
of the porchy folk "ketchin up with
their sittln'", the narrowness that
often creates venomous talk and bore
dom. Yet my moments of greatest
ennui have been tn such cities as New
York, London and Paris. My wife and
I once fled from Berlin, whither we
had gone for a month. In 24 hours,
overwhelmed by the emptiness of its
royal pageantry and pomp. I've never
remained in a smalf town 48 hours
without a feeling of kinship and a
sneaky notion It would not be bad to
remain permanently.
My small town, of course, was that
of 35 years ago. Since then has come
the civilizing Influence of the movie,
the radio, the automobile. Frontiers
are completely abolished. My town
was the berg of the Sunday suit, the
dollar excursion, the county fair, the
river show boat and the Kitty Bell
aire Repertory Company. The onyx
soda fountain with its silvern row of
fascinating flavors Included that one
of eternal mystery labeled "I Don't
Care." Also the street corner medi

of the balloonist who floated away
wearing green spangled tights hang
ing by his toes to a trapeze. Often
landing at Smelt2ra Mill, two miles
away I
I have often thought that the blood
of small town living that once seem
ed so pulsating to me has been en
feebled, made thin. Perhaps in a war
with its own limitations. A war that
spawned so many inventions to make
things eajy. I don't suppose anyone
rushes out on frosty mornings any
more with a kettle of hot water to
get the cistern handle going. And the
hickory rocker haa probably given
away to something In plush and
chromium. The gentlest, friendliest
glow in the world, the kerosene parlor
lamp, is now a mazda wonder. Even
so. the small town encompasses that
charm of security, the dramas of seir
sacrifice and a loyalty the city doos
not attain. I still want to back. Or
think I do,
