HERALD EDITORIALS UNSETTLING THINGS In his place among savants rises one to proclaim that the nebular hypothesis is all wrong. He says this earth never was a circling mass of gas, gradually acquiring the crust upon which mortals tread. He regards it as an accumulation of particles solid and therefore crust from the core out. If the nebular hypothesis goes, many other things must go with it. For instance, the theory that while the globe was less firmly settled, and was whirling more rapidly than at present, it tossed off the moon. No solid ball of earth ever could have sloughed the moon, or at least there would have been left an identifiable scar. Prof. Michelson, who not long ago measured the giant star Bertelgeuse, and declared it to have a diameter of 300,000,000 miles, comes forward with the statement that in browsing about the heavenly spaces he has observed stars so much bigger, that Bertelgeuse sinks into second class or even lower. This is very interesting, but rather appalling to the ordinary mind. A star of the dimensions would seem to be large enough for all practical purposes. There appears to be much in science that has not been established on a basis so strong as to be certain to endure. Attacks even upon the law of gravitation are frequent. As yet human intelligence stands by Newton. The impairment of the long-trusted law would be beheld with regret and misgiving. The nebular hypothesis also has endeared itself as explanatory of much that otherwise must go back into the realm of mystery. Truth is mighty of course, but truth is mighty hard to lay a firm grasp upon sometimes.

That is a duty falling properly to the courts alone. Nevertheless it is frequent for prisoners to be convicted, or to be declared innocent, prior to their formal ordeal at the bar of justice. The decision in each case is likely not to be based on facts, but upon personality. A charming feminine prisoner, no matter how gravely charged, knows that public opinion is formed largely by her method of wearing her hair, or the allurement of her smile. To select a concrete example, it may be said that there is before the court of this county now, the joint case of a man and woman who are under indictment for murder. Everything that it is possible to do to delay the trials is being done. The defense is marked by appeals known in advance to be without merit. Publicity is sought by every trick and device. Sentiment is sought to be created favorable to the pair. There is an effort to bury beneath a pile of rubbish the facts mentioned in the papers drawn up by the prosecution. This nonsense would not be permitted in the court of any other country in the world. Anywhere else the two cused of murder would be tried without the long preliminaries. The matter at issue would involve their guilt or innocence, and not be governed by maudlin sentiment. While they waited in their cells there would be no reception, no gifts of flowers, and no columns of stuff recording their daily deportment, appearance, humor, fads, foibles, history, hysteria, or bluff. Americans do some things differently, and do not invariably do them so well as other folk. No possible consequence is to be attached to the statement of Lenine that America will soon be at war. He would like to see the whole world at war, and is but speaking his foolish wishes aloud. More tourists by far than last year are expected in southern California this year. In making the estimate railroad officials have in mind only the travelers who pay fare. The box car brigade is reported not to be losing in comparative volume.

The box car brigade is reported not to be losing in comparative volume. A Chicago minister who some years ago rescued a girl from great peril is said to have come into possession of a $7,000,000 estate as his reward. While such results do not invariably follow, it is well to keep the possibility in mind, and rescue a girl whenever the opportunity appears. The law against the glaring headlight is one of the traffic regulations that has been ignored or flouted from the first. Blinding people before killing them, so they may not be distressed by realizing what is happening, is a common highway occurrence. Beer by the case as medicine! At last the government is doing something to discourage bootleggers. All of our gods have clay feet, and every day or so romebody discovers another great man who writes poetry in secret. Probably there will never come a time when the people of rural communities will not be awed by a long-tailed coat. When law's official is afraid to fight bootch traffic, you can't tell which is worse—the bootlegger or the bootlucker. All these spirits who talk to medians say they are happy, and it may be that hell isn't as black as it has been painted. Anaheim Sanitary Dairy Phone 268M Fresh Milk Delivered QUARTS 15c; PINTS 8c Morning and evening delivery Between Ourselves By Della M. Stewart The vacation season is over. By hillside and ocean, river and valley, tired men and women sought change and rest. Some found it, some came back as tired as they went, to confront once more the struggle for existence. The idea that one must free far afield to gain test and recreation has gained a very strong hold indeed upon the American people. New outlooks do bring new visions. Freshness of scene creates—sometimes. But sometimes we forget that we can bring forth new vision from within—provided we equip ourselves with creative powers. We depend too much upon the outside influence, the outside scene. It's another part of the cost of our so-called civilization, the multiplicity of appeals to the outward senses, the rush of the daily activities. It is entirely possible to live day after day amid the same scenes and worries and withdraw into ourselves for strength, comfort and recreation. It's possible to find new impulses, new possibilities within as well as without. The scope of the mind and the soul are broad indeed, if only we ourselves do not limit them. It's a mistake not to take time to probe our own mental depth. Why do our own mental depth. Why do we go through life depending on others for thoughts, suggestions as to action, opinions, even? Why not plumb our own depths? We may find there latent the very inspiration and impulse we need. Little Stories for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) CHATTERER AND SAMMY JAY MAKE UP When Chatterer the Red Squirrel heard Sammy Jay say that he was going straight to the Green Forest to tell Shadow the Weasel that Chatterer was living in the Old Orchard a great fear filled his heart. He forgot his quarrel with Sammy. He forgot his greed for all the corn in Farmer Brown's corncrib. He forgot everything but his terrible fear of Shadow the Weasel. It was because of Shadow that Chatterer had left the Green Forest to live in the Old Orchard. If Shadow should find him there he didn't know what he could do or where he could go. He knew that Sammy Jay meant just what he said, for though it would be a dreadful thing when they are angry, and Sammy Jay was very, very angry, indeed. He had already spread his wings when Chatterer spoke. "Please don't do that, Sammy Jay, he begged," I—I—I didn't mean all the bad things I have said." Sammy Jay's eyes snapped. He saw right away that Chatterer was very much frightened and he knew that in the future so long as Shadow the Weasel was anywhere around Chatterer would be so afraid that he would do anything Sammy might want him to. You see Sammy Jay is very sharp. "Am I any more of a thief than you pre?" he demanded. "No—o—o," replied Chatterer slowly as if it were the hardest work to say it. Will you play any more tricks on Shadow, for like all the other little meadow and forest people he hated Shadow. But of course, Chatterer couldn't know that, He had so made up his mind, and a great fear that Sammy might tell clutched his heart. "If you'll promise not to tell Shadow where I am you—you are welcome to all the corn you want at Farmer Brown's corn crib," said Chatterer in a very meek voice. "Indeed!" replied Sammy. "How very generous of you, seeing that it doesn't belong to you, anyway, and I have just as much right to it as you have." "And—and—well, I'll help you get it," continued Chatterer, his sharp wits working their hardest to think of some way to get Sammy to make that promise. "How?" asked Sammy suspiciously. "Why, when you can't get it between the cracks I'll bring some out for you and hide it in the stone wall where you can find it," replied Chatterer. But in his heart he said that he would hide it so that Sammy would have to hunt a long time to find it. It seemed almost as if Sammy read that thought, for, cocking his head on one side, he said: "I'll promise not to tell Shadow if you'll promise to get me corn whenever I want it and put it just where I tell you to." Chatterer didn't like that idea at all, but what could he do? He thought it over so long that Sammy Jay spread his wings as if he was... ROUGE AND LIPSTICKS TABOOED BY THESE EMPLOYERS Michigan employers have tabooed the rouge, lipsticks, powder and vanity case mirrors for girls in their employ, according to the Michigan Free Employment bureau, run by the state as a means of securing places for unemployed girls. No ban has been placed on the "dutch" cut hair, the short skirt or the "V" neck waist—if the "girls are" sensibly dressed. Mrs. Agnes Palmer, director in charge of the stage work, says one employer who hires an average of 400 persons a month called her on the phone and said: "I don't want any of your new-fangled 'dolls' with their rouged lips and cheeks and powdered noses. They take up too much time in my office. Of course, I'd rather look at a pretty than a homely face, but I'm sick of painted masks and half-dressed girls around these offices. I won't consider a girl unless she is neatly and sensibly dressed and does not nail-polishing at home." This is the attitude of nearly all Detroit manufacturers, Mrs. Palmer says, and while many of them actually prefer the bobbed hair in their workers, they will not stand for the "painted dolls" now that labor has become plentiful. She also says that all employers are demanding the trained worker; they cannot place girls who have no education for office work, but the state is unable to supply the demand for trained women. The office, which was established by act of the legislature, has been in existence about a month and Mrs. Palmer says they have been placing about fifty women a week and have at least 100 applications a day for jobs. BUENA PARK RANCHERS WILL HOLD MEETING MONDAY NIGHT Election of officers for the Buena Park Center will be held Monday night. Sammy Jay's eyes snapped. He saw right away that Chatterer was very much frightened and he knew that in the future so ling as Shadow the Weasel was anywhere around Chatterer would be so afraid that he would do anything Sammy might want him to. You see Sammy Jay is very sharp. "Am I any more of a thief than you pre?" he demanded. "No-o-o," replied Chatterer slowly as if it were the hardest work to say it. "Will you play any more tricks on me?" asked Sammy. "No," replied Chatterer more promptly this time. "Well, I'll think it over and make up my mind in the morning," said Sammy. "Perhaps I will and perhaps I won't tell Shadow where you are living. I'll think it over." Now, Sammy knew perfectly well that Chatterer wouldn't sleep a wink that night for worrying.
