Is L. A. Our Civic Idiot?
IN'tbis world of bitterness and strife it is always pleasant to
S find SOMEONE who agrees with you. If the persons happens
to be one whose opinion has considerable weight so much the
better.
Which explains why the article printed below, taken from
the New York World-Telegram, pleased the present writer.
IX his travels in the past, the skipper of this column has
frequently had occasion to visit the great city of Los Angeles.
And while his dislike of that overgrown metropolis, has de
creased, as his familiarity with and understanding of it have
increased, he has never ceased to regard it, as the freak of
all American cities, a soiled, cockeyed, crazy, incomprehensi
ble metropolis.
And such reactions have been expressed from time to time
in this department. So much so that not only his friends down
there, but many up here with pro-California sympathies, have
been considerably irritfttcd, and asked why if h. A. is such
a terrible place, ye editor insists, 'year after year in going dow.n
there.
The answer, of course, has been the climate. Southern
Califoruia has the best winter climate this side of Arizona,
and it is pretty difficult to spend any time during the winter
in a good climate end keep out of the City of Angels, entirely,
although last winter we did skip it pretty successfully, by
motoring around it.
'T'HERE is another point. While the place, from a civilized
standpoint is terrible, it is also interesting and at times,
fascinating. We can imagine nothing much worse than having
to live there, it would be like living across the street, from a
third-rate side show, but like a side show it isn't so bad to
visit, from time to time. One sees and hears things that are to
be seen and heard nowhere else.
However that may be, the person who agrees with us this
time is Mr. Westbrook Pegler, stormy petrel of the Scripps
Howard papers, who we judge has recently been forced to
spend a few days in Hollywood's bibulous and bubbling
Babylon. i
Without more ado we reprint Westbrooks verdict, we
wonder what the h. A. Times and the chamber of commerce
are going to do about it.
r' U hereby earnestly proposed that the 17. 8. A. would be much
better off If that big, sprawling, Incoherent, shapeless, slobbering
civic Idiot In the family of American communities, the City of
Los Angeles, could be declared Incompetent and placed in charge of
a guardian like any Individual mental defective. It Is only a wistful
thought, but the futility of hoping that this wise step might be
taken Just adds emphasis to the nuisance.
Los Angeles is the source and home of more political, economic and
rellgloua Idiocy than all the rest of the country together and a
concentration point of shiftless and Inefficient culls who, being too
lazy or lacking the ability to make good In their native regions,
drift In expecting to be fed from heaven or the public pantry.
San Francisco, a city of character and manhood, has suffered greatly
from the coolie competition of a rival having neither Intelligence
nor standards and la the first victim of the Infantile giant to the
south. The rest of the nation, however, has had to contend with
the $30-every-Thursday scheme, and the Influence of other absurd
ities emanating from Los Angeles has been bad.
The courts are notorious for the silly conduct of clowns In
silk, and adolescent Jurors who condone premedlated murder and
let killers loose, because they bawl about love and the religious
travesties which thrive In this atmosphere, have mocked sense and
piety for years.
NOWHERE but In Los Angeles could Upton Sinclair, admitting
hi inability to conduct his own enterprise successfully, have
gathered the nucleus of a following which seriously threatened an
Important state with an economic hallucination described by one
of his trusted lieutenants as the revolving of wheels within wheels.
This was the plan by which a man with an old windmill who
needed a pair of shors and two pounda of atew meat traded the
windmill to the owner of a gravel pit who traded gravel to a man
building a concrete silo who gave him a calf whose hide became
shoes on the feet and whose snlews becamo atew In the pot of the
man whose necessities began the chain of transactions.
But Mr. Sinclair's plan was a model of practical distribution
by comparison with the fantasies of others which have originated
in Los Angeles, at least one of which, according to ita author, who
ran for Congress, came to him in thundered tones from an unseen
speaker, believed to have been Ood. as he sat waiting his turn to
expound hla wisdom In a church.
r
Up to that moment he hud never known anything about money
or economics, but when, a rninut later, he was called upon
to speak the ideal plan had been revealed to him out of the air,
as he said, perfect In all Its details.
Los Angclca Is a region, not a city, with llmlta extended far
beyond the practical ability of even a good city administration to
govern, and extended for evil motives not legitimate civic ambition.
The town atrctched to take In useless, worthless real estate, owned
by foreslghted grafters, and to advance the lines of defense against
efforts to organise labor.
But neither the alee of the place nor the Incoherence of Ita
government accounts for the lunacy which Is characteristic of the
place and for which It la known above every other characteristic.
Nobody hsa been able to explain why Los Angelea Is peculiarly
susceptible to absurdities In all fields, particularly those of the
mind and soul, and the solution seems hardly worth the bother.
It la like trying to determine why a craay man la craiy. but with
a difference.
The difference I that the craay man la recognised to be nuts
and la placed under glass, whereaa Los Angeles enjoys tha rights
and frocdom of normal communities and sometimes halt-convlncea
people elsewhere there Is nothing peculiar about cutting paper dolla.
A Woman Talks Sense
WHEN business enters the door, scruple- too often fly out
the window. Thnt's the indielment Nina Wilcox Putnam
levels ngninst business relations in the current Rotnrian Mii;r
gine. Drawing upon her own experience in commercial trans
actions, the widety known author, in representing the woman 8
point of view, outlines a set of simple, practical rules for
improving business relations. Here they are:
"Be sure you give whst you ars being paid for. All business
growth, be It In the selling of apples or In the selling of Ideas.
Is built on repeats,
"Never use your personal affairs as an alibi for non perl or manes.
The purchaser Is interested tn the goods he get, not In your prlvats
prohli-m.
"Never be 'smart aleoAy' or affected In your manner when a
business deal la involved. Your approach will be enything but
welcome. A direct, simple, and natural manner Is your best intro
duction to any client or prospect.
"Never try to got something for nothing. The effort, always
futile. Is spotted Immediately and brands you Indelibly as a fafce.
People don't foritel that sort of thing and they are not reluctant
to spread the news.
"Never. NRVF.H loee your temper no matter how wholly wrong
your business contact of the moment may be. By losing your temper
you put yourself at a disadvantage. Many a deal has been consum
mated satisfactorily to all parties because one ot them kept coo).
"Don't waste your own vital energy by brooding over a bad
business desl or a business Injustice. FVrget It and go ahead with
something new,
"Always fulfill ymir contracts on time, or a little before time
It possible. The upstage gesture ot delay Is an empty one, no matter
how Important you are. He who can be depended upon la the one
who nets results.
"The success?! of dishonesty and charlatanism are imially brief,
believe it or not Just like the success of crime In a lesser degree,
'(.letting away with It' Is not business success; U Is slack wire
performance on a ruMcd wire.
"Above all. assume that the other fellow la at leaM as decent
and honest as you are. Distrust engriwUTB distrust. Faith often
begets faith In the most urjttng degree."

QRSTIONS AND ANSWERS
Minerals and Vitamins.
Is It true that cooking foods with
Just enough water to cover and slowly
so the water evaporates and there Is
none to throw away will destroy the
minerals and vitamins In the food?
(Mrs. M. R. P.)
Answer Cooking destroys consider
able vitamin C, less vitamin B. Vita
min B la dissolved In the water the
food la cooked In perhaps three
fourth of the vitamin B naturally
present In foods so cooked Is lost If
the cooking water la thrown away.
Also a argc portion of the mineral
salts In foods so cooked is lost If the
water is thrown away. The cooking
water should be used for soup or
gravy. Pood cooked aa you describe
retains more of the vitamins and
minerals.

SWING music has just been banned
In Wurttemburg (Germany), naxl
leaders there declaring that "swing
may be fit for negroes and Jews, but
not for us Germsns."
Wurttemburg musicians have been
told they must Indulge In no musi
cal acrobatics snd must handle per
cussion Instruments (drums, cym
bals, etc.,) "according to the Ger
man conception" of what Is proper
and fitting.
Presumably they added: "Or else!"
SOUNDS nutty, doesn't It?
Stilt, there Is always the possi
bility that swing music may sound
nutty to German ears.

MUSSOLINI, weread, Is beginning
to colonize the burning sands
of Libya, In recently conquered
Ethiopia. Complete "homesteads,"
with houses, barns, and everything
ju7- ready to move In, are being de
veloped by the Italian government (a
la Matanuska, Alaska) and thither
15,000 colonists are being dispatched
the forerunners of some 80,000
that are expected to follow.
The houses, we are told, will have
no electric lights, the beneficent gov
ernment having learned by exhaus
tive tests that the more light in
Italian houses the FEWER Italian
babies.
f
ITALY claims to be seriously men
aced by over-populatfon so griev
ously menaced, as a matter of fact,
that she has to go forth and conquer
new territory in order to provide an
outlet for her teeming millions. So
she seeks in every possible way to
stimulate the birth rate, so there
will be MORE teeming millions.
That sounds like one for the book,
doesn't It?
THE HOTTENTOT wears a ring in
his nose. Then he piles his hair
on top of his head, mixes It with

Going around with a ring In his

IF EVERYBODY would Just start in

plus commodities. And the agricul
ture department, fearing Its scheme
will be thrown out of kilter, does not
wish to go so far.
The. significance of the "two-price
system," if It survives the first tests,
can hardly be exaggerated. As a pub
lic health measure, it Is vastly im
portant, especially in such cities as
New York, where It will be easiest
to manage and where tens of thous
ands of slum-dwellers now have be
low minimum diets. Aa an economic
phenomenon. Its effects may be far
reaching. Of course. Secretary Wallace's chief
temporary headaches the immense
surpluses In wheat and cotton will
not be greatly diminished by the new
scheme. There is hope that giving
cheap cotton mattresses and cheap
flour to the poor will dispose of com
paratively small amounts of wheat
and cotton. Rigid production control
In the next years must remove the
remainders of these surpluses In ex
port crops, for which there is no real
demand In this country.
But, In the long run. the agricul
ture department envisions Its new
scheme affecting wheat and cotton.
Greater demand for the vegetables,
fruit and dairy products needed for
health will be created by the two
price system. As the demand grows,
it will be possible to shift wheat and
cotton land into production of foods
for which demand exists. And thus
It is hoped to effect a slow reorganiz
ation of the nation's agriculture. The
hope may be Utopian, but the scheme
is interesting.
However Utopian they may be, the
schemes of the agriculture depart
ment look considerably more attract
ive after you have Inspected the al
ternatives. There Is little effective
support for a return to the pre-AAA
status. The farmers still want' gov
ernment donatives. But now the
donatives are demanded in the form
of such rural snnke oils as the do
mestic allotment BChcme and general
prlce-flxlng.
Curiously enough, the recent dis
aster at the polls has not worried
the agriculture department overmuch.
The department expects the present
farm law to be left Intact, with larg
er benefit payments, the two-price
system, and perhaps processing taxes
merely added as trimming. It Is the
theory that the farm organizations
and the farm senators and congress
men will all quarrel u so violently
among themselves that they will end
by accepting the department's pro
gram with gratitude.
There's no doubt that there will
be an almighty row In congress. It
Is to be hoped, at least, that the de
partment is right In forecasting that
none of the snake oils will finally be
prescribed by law. But there are rea
sons to believe that the forecast Is a
trifle optimistic.

Business is always an inter
esting scramble,
During a depression often a
serious gamble!
Plenty doing every minute
selling Chevrolets or
spuds!
Every laundry in town after
your duds in their suds.
The butcher and grocer
make your dollars go
Why even the baker is after
YOUR dough!
Don't forget, when you make
up the budget to pay
It'll cost you lots more shop
ping without a Chevrolet!
