Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Death is unclasping; joy breaking out in the desert; the heart, come to its blossoming time! Do we call it dying when the bud bursts into flower? —Henry Ward Beecher WINTER VISITORS COME IN THRONGS They are coming from several points of the compass, to Southern California for the winter. They know that disagreeable weather here is verily uncommon. They are coming by railway, through the different gateways—all the transcontinental lines are moving trains in sections to accommodate the increased travel—Californiaward. Nor is this all. They are coming in automobiles—yes, they are coming, thousands strong, in automobiles. More of them are coming in automobiles this season than ever came before in one season. And this means that more and more persons will come this way, in future. They are traveling long distances, too. Go upon the streets and note the license plates—machines from far New England, from the Atlantic seaboard, from the Middle West, from the South, from the Rocky Mountain states, from the Pacific Northwest, from the provinces of Canada. This method of transportation is becoming more and more popular for continent-trotters. They will continue to come to Southern California for reasons that are written in the sunny and starry heavens. For reasons that are penciled by the Creator across these majestic mountains and this billowy ocean. They will come because here Nature has compounded a climatic mixture which is the toast of the world. They will come because here is a clean, virile, upstanding American community, pushing forward with giant strides, accepting the best and incorporating the best in its life and activities. Difficulties diminish and troubles lessen when one approaches them with stout heart and undaunted men. YANKEE AIRMEN TO TRY FOR GLOBE Difficulties diminish and troubles lessen when one approaches them with stout heart and undaunted men. YANKEE AIRMEN TO TRY FOR GLOBE HONORS This bids fair to be a year of momentous achievements in the air. And Uncle Sam's virile, eager boys are just straining to be off on the proposed aerial journey around the globe over a course of 89,000 miles, coursing over twenty-two foreign countries. The great adventure is to begin early in April, with United States Army aviators the adventurous figures. The start is to be made from Seattle, and the flight is to be by way of Alaska and across the Bering to Siberian Asia, then to Japan and China and India, then through the Near East and across Europe, and up through Iceland and Greenland, and thence home. It is to be a merry race, too, for first honors, inasmuch as British and Portuguese aviators are to attempt the same feat, planning to start about the same time. Three purposes are in view by the United States Army Air Service, in undertaking this great flight, namely: First, to demonstrate the possibility of dispatching military airplanes on long distance flights with a satisfactory arrangement of the enormous supply problems involved; second, to demonstrate the feasibility of a world airway and of traversing this airway in the shortest time possible and, third, to bring to the United States the honor of being the first to go around the world by air. Every red-blooded American hopes that the American aviators will be successful and be the first to accomplish this great feat. It is to be hoped that Congress, in considering tax revision, will give substantial relief where it is needed.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying AMERICAN CITY OF THE FUTURE—Kansas City Times When some fifteen years ago an elaborate plan for development and rebuilding of Chicago had been completed, there was considerable skepticism both about its value and probable use in that city. Today, the "Chicago plan" has become famous. Its value in making the city a more beautiful and livable place is evident to all. There should not, therefore, be any big amount of uncertainty about the benefit of a still larger plan that is beginning to take shape in the same city. The new plan contemplates the orderly development of an extensive suburban area of Chicago, reaching out West, North and South of the city distances of thirty to nearly fifty miles. The idea is based on the expectation of a city and suburban population double that of the present—an expectation that ultimately may be fulfilled in the case of most large American cities. Congestion and the probability of still more congestion must be dealt with in accordance with extent in any city. There is not the problem in this respect in Kansas City that exists in Chicago or New York. But real preparation for the future in any large city involves more than a scheme for orderly development within the city limits, a fact that the local city plan commission has not overlooked. The American city of the future—what will it be? Surely, not what it has been in the past, in respect to living, working, recreation and transportation conditions. If past conditions are not to be continued, and in an aggravated form, then there must be an exercise of vision in the planning and building of today.
