HERALD EDITORIALS THE GREAT-HEARTED LORENZ Dr. Lorenz of Vienna is now in this country. He is operating by his manuel process upon as many crippled children as he possibly can find time to treat. He is examining others and instructing their own doctors how to deal with the respective cases. Dr. Lorenz says that he is filled with pity for the little sufferers, and he does more than merely say it. By his deeds he proves it. His pity overflows countless beneficient acts. This alien doctor, alien only in nativity, for he is a citizen and friend of the world, doubtless is seeking to pay a debt of gratitude. He knows what the people of the United States have done for the children of Austria. Their charity has ministered to thousands, even been the means of saving thousands from death. The doctor appears to be astonished by the amount of suffering he finds in the United States, not due to famine, or directly to poverty. He is appalled that such an army of cripples and malformed should be appealing to him for help. The presence of Dr. Lorenz cannot fail of benign effect, reaching far beyond the circle of his personal activities, for it is an inspiration and a source of instruction. Some girl has sued Congressman Herrick of Oklahoma for $50,000 alleging breach of promise. From what the country has been permitted to gather concerning this peculiar statesman, there is no possibility of figuring that his declination to marry could be construed as the infliction of injury. Ordinarily there is little sympathy with an action of this sort. This particular case is different. The public would be glad to see the girl win the whole sum and huge costs. Not that the plaintiff deserves to lose it. Some girl has sued Congressman Herrick of Oklahoma for $50,000 alleging breach of promise.

Ordinarily there is little sympathy with an action of this sort. This particular case is different. The public would be glad to see the girl win the whole sum and huge costs. Not that the plaintiff deserves to lose it. Herrick went to congress, and at once, assumed the role of reformer. To show the wickedness of beauty contests, he proceeded to stage one of these affairs himself. The girl who sues him was among the number responding to his lure. If Herrick still thinks such affairs are wicked, then he knows himself to be a sinner, and should be willing to accept the penalty. The experience of having been made ridiculous in the eyes of the whole public might have got through some hides, with reformatory effect, but not through the hide in which the Herrick personality is encased. Erostratus is remembered, wholly without affection, as the individual who fired the Ephesian dome. He said he had set torch to the structure for the purpose of preserving his name. This was a very bad excuse. Still, it was an excuse. Many incendiary fires are being set at this modern day. The arsonists lack the excuse of Erostratus, for they keep their identities hidden. Pyromania is said to be a disease. A strong cell is the best asylum for the patient. Henri Landru, the modern Bluebeard of France, did not lose his head during his trial, but received there the assurance that he was to part with it soon. The many admirers who gathered daily to ogle him were all feminine. His victims had been women who had been won by the charm of his personality. Perhaps the court-room admirers were cherishing thoughts of suicide. More hoboes, as it now is the fashion to call the tramps of yesteryear, are coming to California this season than ever before.

Stewart The world has not lacked for dire prophecies during the post-war years. Revolutions, upheavals of industry, general strikes; these are but a title of the whole number of terrible predictions. We who do not pretend to the gift of prophecy have been more or less moved by all these, in spite of our deterring common sense. We have worried and fretted openly and helped to spread the gloom blanket on all. But a most cheering aspect, and one which we need not overlook, is that a great share of the dire predictions failed to materialize. The terrible happenings have been many, but far from filling the predictions. We have worried needlessly in so many cases. We have lost much thought and nerve force for accomplishment. We have made ourselves just so much less able to grapple with the little daily problem of our lives. We have embittered in just the degree we worried, the lives of those about it, and made their problems of life just so much the greater. And the most pitiful part of the whole is that all our worry did not accomplish one atom of good. It averted no calamity, it brought about no good. It was the most senseless way we can imagine in which to meet life. Why can't we learn what life tries so hard to teach us? There's a wise foresight and a logical way of reasoning cause from effect that all of us need to guide us over the rough places. But these are in no way related to the foolish worry that limits our outlook and restricts our strength and faith for real accomplishment. If we must be prophets, let's be prophets of cheer!

BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) SAMMY JAY'3 SHARP EYES Snap Shots By Henry James Probably the pretty actor who says he receives 900 mash notes weekly is slandering a sex generally held in esteem. One thing that makes the outlook bad for Charles W. Morse is that if he is put in jail again no bluff at being sick will get him out. Even Germany may furnish a good example. Over there the profiteer goes to prison. Members of the Marble Industry Employers' association were given penitentiary sentences in a New York court. In the next breath the court took the sentences back. This is called suspension of sentence, and is a fine judicial joke. Only 200 pedestrians were hit by autos in Los Angeles in November. Chauffeurs are wondering how so many happened to be missed. Membership in a public school frat doesn't accomplish much for the pupils beyond winning expulsion for them. Noise made by a motorcycle caused a quarrel and the quarrel led to homicide. Then there was silence. The case of the girl who at twenty occasionally assumes the personality of a child of four, is termed puzzling. The easy and probably correct explanation is that a silly female is having hysteria. A man who says that he shot 63 Germans and then lost count is detained as a lunatic and suspected of being a liar. Naphthalene Nest Eggs Ineffective Against Lice Nest eggs made of naphthalene, claimed or suggested by manufacturers to be destoyed or repellants of lice, might be called bad eggs rather than "lice exterminating eggs," "lice killing nest eggs," and "medicated nest eggs," for they do not seem to inconvenience the lice or mites, but they do have a bad effect on the fowls that set on them. In fact the entomologists of the United States department of agriculture who have examined it, Little Stories for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. O. Lloyd) EVERYBODY knows that Sammy Jay has sharp eyes. In fact, there are very few of the little forest people whose eyes are as sharp as Sammy's. That is because he uses them so much. A long time ago he found out that the more he used his eyes the sharper they became, and so there are few minutes when Sammy is aware that he isn't trying to see something. He is always looking. That is the reason he always knows so much about what is going on in the Green Forest and on the Green Meadows. Now, of course Chatterer the Red Squirrel couldn't disappear without him. I really must find out. Yes, sir. I really must. So every minute that he could spare Sammy Jay spent trying to find Chatterer. He asked every one he met if they had seen Chatterer. He peeked and peered into every hollow and hiding place he could think of. But look as he would and ask as he would he could find no trace of Chatterer. At last he happened to think of Farmer Brown's corn crib. Could it be that Chatterer had moved over there or had come to some dreadful end there? Very early the next morning Sammy flew over to the corn crib. He looked it all over with his sharp eyes and listened for sounds of Chatterer inside. But not a sound could be heard. Then he remembered the hole under the edge of the roof, through which Chatterer used to go in and out. Sammy hurried to look at it. It was closed by a stout board nailed across it. Then Sammy knew that Farmer Brown's boy had found it. "He's killed Chatterer, that's what he's done!" cried Sammy, and flew over to the Old Orchard filled with sad thoughts. He meant to wait until Farmer Brown's boy came out and then tell him what he thought of him. After that he would fly through the Green Forest and over the Green Meadows to spread the sad news. After a while the door of the farmhouse opened and Farmer Brown's boy stepped out. Sammy had his mouth open to scream, when his sharp eyes saw something queer. Farmer Brown's boy had a queer-looking box in his arms, which he put on a shelf where the sun would shine on it. It looked to Sammy as if something moved inside that box. He forgot to scream and say the bad things he had planned to say. He waited until Farmer Brown's boy had gone to the barn. Then Sammy flew where he could look right into the queer box. There was Chatterer the Red Squirrel! Next Story: Chatterer is Made Fun Of. CITRUS MARKETS NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Eleven cars of navels, one car Valencies and one car of lemons sold.

In fact the entomologists of the United States department of agriculture who have examined and tested these so-called "eggs" says that they are very injurious to fowls, but not in a single case were they found effective against the parasites. Even the nest boxes in which they were placed remained badly infested with mites and they were frequently observed crawling over the naphthalene eggs. A new metallic alloy, resembling magnesium, is being produced and applied to mechanical uses in Michigan. Present day chemical extinguishers have been found unsafe in mine fires. The flute players of Rome went on a strike early in the fourth century, B.C. At first Sammy thought that Chatterer was hiding, so as not to have to get Sammy any more corn, but after peeking and peering and watching in the Old Orchard for a few days he was forced to think that either Chatterer had once more moved, or else that something had happened to him. "Perhaps Shadow the Weasel has caught him after all," thought Sammy, and straightaway flew to a certain place on the green Forest where he might find Shadow the Weasel. Sure enough, Shadow was there. Now, of course, it wouldn't do to ask right out if Shadow had caught Chatterer, and Sammy was smart enough to know it. "Chatterer the Red Squirrel sends his respects and hopes you are enjoying your hunt for him," called Sammy. Shadow looked up at Sammy and anger blazed in his little red eyes. "You tell Chatterer that I'll get him yet!" snarled Shadow. Sammy's eyer sparkled with mischief. He had made Shadow angry, and he had found out what he wanted to know. He was sure that Shadow had not caught Chatterer. "But what can have become of him?" thought Sammy. "I've got no love for him, but just the same I miss CITRUS MARKETS NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Eleven cars of navels, one car Valencies and one car of lemons sold. Market is higher on navels.

I. PHILLIPS AN ALL-AMERICAN OYSTER OPENER If there is to be an All-American oyster-opening team Bill Lowney should be put in as one of the ends. Bill got on to the front page of the newspapers recently through his announcement that he would like to meet any and all oyster openers. Bill isn't interested in meeting them socially; it's the national oyster-opening championship that he is after. One hundred oysters in 3 minutes and 3 3/4 seconds is Bill's record. And he could do better than that if the referee would allow time out for skidding. Just what the world record for oyster opening is does not appear in Spalding's Guide. It is understood, however, that there are many oyster openers who lay claim to a higher shucking rate than Bill Lowney, and an open tournament of oyster openers, singles and doubles, is likely in the near future. There is more to this oyster shucking feat than laymen realize. It is, to the inexperienced, just as much of a trick to open an oyster as to open a safe or a poker hand. To begin with, the oyster is always against you. It never wants to be opened and will resist to the death. Some oysters resist more than others. An oyster opener gets to know the ornery cusses on sight and treats them accordingly. The first thing to do with a vicious and unduly obstinate oyster is to throw it especially if the oyster is no alouch at the wrestling game. And most oysters have a way of slipping out of holds that is most discouraging. The next thing to do is to bring it to complete submission. This may be sauce in its eyes and ears, or by standing upon it with one foot on each hip. Yes, an oyster has hips, and if you have never noticed them it is because you have never looked for them. When the oyster has been subdued (hypnotism may be used to make it docile in some cases) it may be opened with a can opener, nut cracker, chisel, knife or time fuse. Some people have been known to try to open oysters with a beer opener, but the idea is absurd. The expert opener uses an old sort of knife. It is called an oyster knife. What else could it be called, in fact? This knife is inserted between the upper and lower crust of the oyster, just directly opposite the hinges and at a point where the clasp would be if oyster shells were equipped with clasps. And they certainly should be so equipped. With a quick twist of the wrist the oyster may be opened. Much more difficult than opening an oyster, however, is the task of closing one again. Few people have ever been able to do it. Consequently, people with sense don't try. They just throw away the shell, drop the oyster into a bucket, and ship Have a Smile "Norah," said Mrs. Deadbeat, from the top of the stairs, "tell the man who is ringing the bell that I am not receiving today!" The servant girl went to the door and said something to the men; then she stepped into the hall and called upstairs: "I told him you were not receivin' today, ma'am, but he says he aint deliverin', he's collectin'!" Senator Kenyon, apropos of his bill for a department of special welfare, said at a dinner: "Such a department would lessen the divroce evil. From the number of last year's divorces, you'd think the schoolboy's answer must be true. In a Shakespeare lesson his teacher said to this boy: 'What customs is it that is more honored in the breach than in the observance?' The boy answered promptly: 'Marriage.'" "Let me see," observed the smart boarder, "how is it the proverb runs—?" "You refer to the saying that 'One man's meat is another man's hash?' put in one. "Or, possibly," said another, "'Don't cry over skimmed milk.'" "No," said a third, "'In butter there is strength.'" "Well," said the smart boarder, "the particular proverb I have in mind is: 'None but the brave can face the fare.'" He was an indulgent father, but he was beginning to think that his son was spending too much money. One morning when his son had made a request for a larger allowance, he said very solemnly, "Why, when I was your age, my boy, I didn't get as much money in a year as you spend in a month." "Well, don't scold me about it," answered his son. "why don't you go for grandfather?" Publisher George Doran of New York was laughing about Conan Doyle's rampant belief in spiritualism. "Doyle's friends poke fun at him," he said, "but he takes it all in good part. At a dinner in Golder's Green, the Greenwich Village of London, Doyle's host said to him one evening: 'How will you have, your roast beef, Sir Arthur? Underdone or.' But here the hostess interrupted: 'It takes no Sherlock Holmes,' she said, 'to tell how he'll have his beef. He'll have it "medium," of course.'" J. G. S. Hubbard & Sons of Monroe, Ore., were at the San Francisco show with seventy-four head of Hampshire and Southdown sheep and were big winners. They also have Lincolnshire, horned Doracets, Oxford and Cotswolds on their ranch. This is one of the strongest herds in the Northwest and the Hubbards have been breeding sheep for the past three generations. J. Selby Badt, President of the Warm Creek Land and Livestock Company of Wells, Nev., was a visitor at the San Francisco show and stayed over for the Cazier Hereford sale at Sacramento. This company owns the 1921 State Fair reserve grand champion Shorthorn bull. Importer Carston Masher. He was imported by William Hartnet and bred by T. A. Buttar of Scotland. He was 2 years old at the time selected and has gained 1100 pounds in 12 months. This company is building up a wonderful herd of Shorthorns.
