...Southern Pacific is proud of many things, of its new cars kept cool in Southwestern deserts by special aluminum paint and anti-actinic window glass, of its freight service, so efficient that a carload of potted lilies recently went through without a pot broken or a single flower crushed. But its hospitals have long been its especial pride. Most roads maintain a staff of nurses and doctors with emergency stations at important terminals. Only three roads have their own hospitals: the Illinois Central, at Chicago, the Central of Georgia, at Savannah, and the Southern Pacific, at San Francisco (250 beds...

Common is the belief among Easterners that all Big Business news originates in the East. Proud Californians have long disagreed, pointing for proof to California's many flourishing industries. Last week Californians were given fresh proof of their importance. Dow, Jones & Co., financial news-distributors, publishers of the Wall Street Journal, announced that starting in October a Pacific Coast morning edition of the Journal would be published daily, ''in further recognition of the important financial growth of this territory." With head offices in San Francisco, the new Journal will be distributed to the chief Pacific Coast cities...
