SUNDAY MORNING. fULY 21, 1912. PAKT VI. World's Most Accessible Beach City a Homeplace Unexcelled Piiwl 1 lite New Air Line Running Now Every Hour oh Forty-Minute Schedule Completes an Already Unsurpassed Car Service, With a Subway to Come. Home Advantages Not Only Comprise Scenic Grandeur Sublime, But Climatic and Man-Made Facilities Rivaling the World's Best ta Monica, its magnificent stretches of mountain ranges.

Its rugged bluffs. Its rustic canyons and Us placid sea, affording ample data for the most enthusiastic poet or artist to exhaust their time and efforts la describing or portraying, this priceless gem of the Crescent Bay, has many other features that endear It to the hearts of Its residents. It Is In addition to all of Its other charms, a great playground, where the sportsman can revel in its colt course, its tennis courts, its bathing, fishing and boating. Us hunting, horseback and Us motoring; where the society lover can drink to the dregs all of the enjoyments of the social life In Us constant line of various club dinners, dances and social festivities being given here, almost nightly; and where the lover of the various beach gaieties can satiate himself in every conceivable kind of a pleasure device, theaters, dancing pavilions and roller skating rinks included. the principal thoroughfares of Santa Monica, those who keep In touch with the almost daily records of new streets to be Improved, which records detail no less than ten and twelve streets at a time; can well appreciate that Santa Monica is rapidly becoming a literal network of unsurpassed thoroughfares.

'As these records appear from time to time, they do not merely refer to tbe grading of certain streets, but are describing streets that are to be Improved in harmony with the highest class boulevards that there are, no detail of paving, parking and establishing of cement walks and curbs to be omitted. Acordlng to these reports, and at their present rate of improvements there will not be a street In the entire district that cannot boast of such Improvements in a very few months to come. CRESCENT BAY CITY HAS MANY UNUSUAL ADVANTAGES. Besides the natural charm of San eight-mile motordrome which Is the scene of so much thrilling enjoyment at the annual motor race. This is reputed to consist of without question some of the highest class boulevards in existence, comprising the noted San Vicente Boulevard and Oregon and Nevada avenues.

Other boulevards which have attracted the attention of the world at large due to their unquestioned superiority, are those that connect Los Angeles with Santa Monica. These are Wllshlre Boulevard running to the north, and Washington Boulevard running to the south. Both of these excellent thoroughfares are paved in a way that would be difficult to rival for ease and beauty. Wllshlre Boulevard In addition to its attractive construction is being even more adorned with a wealth of flowering ehruba and rare plants and trees for many miles along its borders. These two boulevards together form a perfect circuit for automobile traffic between Los Ange les and the Crescent Bay City.

Fremont avenue Is another boulevard which has attracted much attention, due to Us very high class construction and its direct connection with the Santa Monica beach. This splendid automobile road Is eighty feet broad. Another Santa Monica automobile thorough fafc which, because of its excellent location, exactly bisecting the noted race course and other advantages, is attracting widespread comment, is the new Montana Boulevard. This superb boulevard has Just recently been completed to the sea, and is regarded by authority as the most direct route from Los Angeles to the beach, which fact places it foremost among the automobile roads of California. Besides Us excellent paving Land cement curbs and sidewalks, Montana avenue Is to be embellished with all of the beauties that attractive parkings of trees, plants and flowers can afford.

Though mention Is merely made of BUILDING COMPANY BUSY.

Youth'a Companion: When the luncheon bell rang the minister, leaving his study, sat down at the table with his family. "I have brought with me a paragraph," he said. "I wish you would tell me who wrote it" From a sheet of paper he read the following sentence: "'The supreme need of the hour is not elastic cur rency.

or sounder banking, or better protection against panic, or bigger navies, or more equitable tariffs, but a revival of faith, a return to a morality which recognises a basis In religion." "You wrote It yourself." said one of the boys. "No." said hla father. "The thought Is one that I have used In my sermons more than once, but I did not write the paragraph. Who do you think did?" First they named other ministers and then various religious papers. "You are getting nearer to it" said he.

"It Is from a newspaper, but am not sure that I may call It a religious newspaper. The sentence is from the Wall Street Journal. The next Sunday he quoted the sen tence In a sermon in which he pointed out the business value not only of morality, but of faith; the necessity that men have faith In one another, faith in thetr own and in their neighbor's Integrity, faith that the universe Is sound at heart faith that religion, has Its function even In the law of supply and demand. At the close of the sermon several business men asked to be permitted to copy the quotation. "Does it surprise you." he asked them, "to find such a sentence In a financial paper 7 But no one was surprised; each la turn declared that his own contact with successful business men had taught him that one recognised more clearly than they the value of the world of a commercial justice and honor founded oa sincere religious faith, Miss Clara Grant is at the head of an unusual settlement which was opened in Bremley-by-Bow.

London, something more than a year aro. Miss Grant and her fellow-workers, most of whom are trained nurses, concern themselves onlv with the families of children attending the council school of that district Monlcv as It connects this district directly with all of the many car lines comprised in the Pacific Eleo trio system; as well as making it possible for those whose business offices are more convenient to the Sixth and Main-Street Station than they are to the Fourth and Hill-Street Station, to go backward and forward from their office In Los Angeles to their residence in Santa Monica, with perfect ease. IMMENSE PR0QRE99 ON NEW 8TREETS AND BOULEVARDS. The unusual accessibility of Santa Monica does not refer alone to its car service, though this is an all important factor; but it is equally true of Its many superb boulevards. It is quite possible that there is not another beach city on the entire continent, with half the automobile boulevard advantages now being realized in Santa Monica.

Of course, comprised In this comparison of automobile thoroughfares, will necessarily be considered the world famous. Forty-ninth street; J. B. Albert, Cottage, Ave rooms each. No.

It Is Indeed, In point of time, no farther from the center of the business and shopping activity of Los Angeles, than are any of the desirable suburban subdivisions of this city; and it Is only a question of a very limited time when It will require no longer to go from the center of Los Angeles to the various prominent points of Banta Monica, than It does now to go to any point In the WllBhire district Each of the five lines to Santa Mon BUILDINO PERMITS. i Following are the building permits for 1600 and over Issued from July 13 to July 19, Inclusively: Apartment-house, three stories, lxty-flve rooms, No.

Tbe new Air Line, which has only been In operation but a few months under its present schedule, aad which has until very recently been making Just two trips a day, is now running hourly from the Pacific Eloc-trlo Station, making the trip in forty minutes.
