HERALD EDITORIALS OPPORTUNITIES Wherever a city has grown, people who have watched it develop, are conscious of many lost opportunities. They will tell of the corner where the million dollar bank stands, and the chance they once had to own that corner for the price of a pair of boots. Or perhaps they had been offered the lot for a saddle. In instances the unregenerate owner of an earlier time had been known to try to swap the property for a drink. Not long ago certain lots near Long Beach were "thrown in" as an inducement to the purchase of a set of cyclopedias which were in the market at $120. On the installment plan at that. Perhaps the buyers got their money's worth in the books. Anyhow, if they held on to the lots they are now haughtily spurning the proffer of large sums, or they are drawing down royalties. There was oil below the surface. The hidden reservoir has been tapped. It is spouting prosperity for somebody. But the element of chance is not the factor to be considered. Perhaps there is no other region in the United States growing so fast as this part of California. Cities are gaining metropolitan size. Towns are changing into cities. Suburban communities are spreading until they meet and merge. Opportunities are larger and more numerous than ever. People look at the past, but decline to judge the future by it. A decade hence they will be repeating the old story of how, along in '21, they might have bought for a song, property that would have brought them independent fortune. "See that bank?" they will say to a stranger. "Well once I could have traded a second hand automobile for the site. Worth about a million now."

CLIMBING THE FAMILY TREE Many Americans are said to be haunting the British museum now. They seek to find there the roots from which sprung their several family trees. The common ambition is to trace a line back to William the Conqueror or some other famous and remote personage. The number of instances in which they succeed, is surprising to observers, and gratifying to the aspirants, who having found a family tree, use it as the means of climbing socially. It is truth often ignored that everybody has ancestors. The human race has been on earth a long time. Escape from ancestry is impossible. When one reflects that each individual has two parents, four grandparents, and that a simple example in arithmetic proves that the blood of millions mingles in his veins, there really is little to feel proud about. If the actualities could be dug from the past, the ancestors would be revealed as of many classes. Probably some died in jail, or on the gallows. In the good old days when stealing a shilling or poaching a rabbit was a capital offense, the path to the gallows was not hampered by many obstacles. But if some of the ancestors were jailbirds, doubtless some of the others were the jailors, or judges, or hangmen, so the matter averages all right enough. The real solicitude might wisely be bestowed on posterity. Greater wisdom lies in looking forwards than back. What of the son: Is he growing to useful citizenship? Are his activities expended along the plane of intelligence and morality? And the daughter: Is she endowed with inherited qualities of excellence? Is her training such as to keep her fine and sweet to perfect womanhood? The answer to these questions does not need to be sought in the British museum. Remarks a Los Angeles paper, "We are expecting every day to hear that Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain has been offered a contract in the movies." But of course it is not expecting anything of the kind.

Los Angeles has become a great factory center, and home patronage has made some of its industries large and flourishing.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? WAHEIM DAILY HER Comment on Day's News By Henry James Sunday evening at Vermont avenue in Los Angeles, a street car crashed into automobile. The accident occurred as a throng of machines going in the same direction as the car had been stopped by the jam at an intersection. So closely were the autos packed that for a moving street car to hit one and not hit more than one was impossible. There was a jar, a shattering of glass, and then lighter jars as the machine just ahead was folded in accordian shape against the mass in front of it. Women screamed. Some of them fainted, while others not finding suitable arms into which to faint, braced up, walking out over broken glass to step into puddles of gasoline. Then everybody stood around to view the wreckage. Three machines were numbered with the slain, mechanically considered. The one that had been worst hit resembled a pile of junk just accidentally dumped there. The scared and trembling occupants crawled forth apparently unharmed bodily, but mentally perturbed, except as to one who was badly cut about the head, but kept calm as a May morning. Soon came the clangling ambulances. Altogether it was considerable of a mess. One of the interested spectators, a passenger of the butting car, took up the papers the next morning to see what they said about the accident. They hadn't said a thing. The incident had not been deemed worth mentioning. Perhaps if a match had been dropped in the gutters while they ran gasoline, the attention of the reporter might have been aroused. There still are curious and perhaps critical glances at a woman who wears knickerbockers. This is not the case when she is equipped for hiking. Then the knickerbockers are taken for granted. Probably the time is The Barton Bedtime Stories WHY TRAILER THE HOUND WAS STUBBORN By John Barton (Copyright, 1021, by The Associated Newspapers.) NIBBLE RABBIT'S heart stopped still—as still as Trailer the Hound. And Trailer stood there with his feet braced stubbornly and his tail hanging. "No!" he growled. "I'm not going one step farther. I like a good chase, but out where I do the running. I can manage one Yes, he actually turned! The only helper Nibble had been able to find was going back on him. Right when the bunny had got him so close to the Little Dark Pool where the wicked beasts were waiting with open jaws for poor Tad Coon that Nibble could actually hear the waterfall go splashing into it. So close that it didn't take ears as long as Nibble's to hear Tad wall: "Oh, Chips, Beaver! O-ch, Thunder-paws! O-o-oh, Nibble Rabbit! Aren't you ever co-oming? These foxes are so mean I'm getting skait of them. And my tongue's hanging out. I haven't had a drink since yesterday. Wa-wa-wa!" "Gr-r!" snarled the hound. "So that's where the wind blows! You want me to fight for that scoundrel who played me such a trick. You know mightly well I'd never bare a tooth to help him." "But he's a friend of Tommy Peele's." "Then let Tommy's dog save him. Tommy's no master of mine." "How—how can you act so!" Nibble almost sobbed. Tad's not a scoundrel. He just didn't know any better than to throw the buzzer's nest at you. He wouldn't throw another. But just then a fox began sassing Tad back at the top of his yap." Hang out your tongue, you ringtailed rascal! Maybe you'll know how ours feel after you threw those prickly caterpillars all over us." He wouldn't, wouldn't he?" snapped Trailer. "Thats' even worse. Ach! He drew his own tongue between his teeth." Think of having There still are curious and perhaps critical glances at a woman who wears knickerbockers. This is not the case when she is equipped for hiking. Then the knickerbockers are taken for granted. Probably the time is not distant when this becoming costume will be worn so commonly as to attract no attention often than that which would be attracted by the wearer whatever her garb. There is no reason to deplore the impending change. Women have become accustomed to the freedom of short skirts. Fashion declares that they must lose a part of this enjoyable freedom. Some of them at least do not intend to submit to the impertinent decree. Knickerbockers have the advantage of encouraging women to walk, a very healthful and much neglected form of exercise. If a woman is too fat or too lean to look her best while clad in them, then she will be incited to correct the blemish. Therefore, the knickerbockers, in addition to comeliness and convenience, may become actual agencies for the encouragement of sound bodies. While there have been various reports concerning the health of Ex-President Wilson, most of them have seemed to lack authenticity. The fact that Mr. Wilson declined to grant an audience to Marshal Foch is more significant than many rumors. In protecting his own house a citizen of Los Angeles was obliged to shoot and kill a burglar. In the present crude state of civilization there seems no wiser disposition of a burglar than the householder made. However, the performance of the task, however useful, is not pleasing to a person of pacific disposition and natural aversion to violence. He would be better satisfied were circumstances so framed as to discourage the burglarious career at some earlier stage. Tests of the blood to decide the question of kinship have not yet impressed the minds of scientists as indicating more than the prevalence of a fad. One jurist in San Francisco did accept it, and in accordance declared a certain man to be father of a child, the paternity of which had been disputed. However, it is probable that there was an abundance of corroborative evidence of a very material sort. A hotel guest recently tossed a handful of paper money lightly into the lobby. Later he repeated the operation from his window, apparently deriving great gladness from watching people scramble for the bills. Such a guest is not frequent in hotels. They often are to be observed "There are only two," urged Nibble. fox, but a whole pack of them—" "There are only two," urged Nibble. And one's just a small one. They won't know you're alone—they'll start to run the minute they hear your terrible song." Maybe they will," sniffed the dog. And then agian maybe they won't. What then? I'm not going to fight them. I'm too scared of getting my ears torn." (Hounds always are; that's why any little snip of a terrier can bully them.) He turned to go home. Between Ourselves By Della M. Stewart "I just know I wouldn't like her, she has such a peculiar mouth." It was an otherwise intelligent woman speaking, never dreaming how her speech was showing her narrowness of vision. Prejudice is such a dangerous vice. It creeps on one so insidiously. Its possessor generally is so unconscious of its presence. Prejudice is one of the gravest symptoms of contracted mentality and narrow vision. Yet, it's very common. Heredity, environment and training all help to saddle us with its heavy load. Fortunate are we if we break away. Prejudice always consorts with ignorance. Actual knowledge will dispel much. That is, it will if coupled with fairness of mind. It seems strange that religion should be one of the snuggest harbors for such a vice, but isn't it? Just where we might be expected to call charity and slowness of judgment to our aid we don't. Somehow we forget that there may be perfectly honest differences of outlook, and that more than one road may lead to the same place. More than ever we need to fight this common vice as we grow in years. Our minds do not need to atrophy as our muscles stiffen. Let's learn to look at both sides of a question. If there's third side, and there sometimes is, let's look at that also. We shall get much more out of life if we do.
