HERALD EDITORIALS MONEY AND MATRIMONY At irregular intervals, and yet with assured certainty, there appears discussion of the money a young man must be earning before he is to be deemed acceptable as a husband. The modern girl is quoted as saying that the income must be $50 a week or in instances, considerable more. This means, of course, the girl in ordinary circumstances. There are plenty of rich girls who have as pin money sums far greater than represented by the earning capacity of the average male. Such girls could afford to marry men of small income or of no income, but they seldom think of it, and when they do, there is parental uproar, and the social circle that includes such a girl is thrown into a turmoil. Matrimony, as has been demonstrated by countless happy unions, should not be regarded as a matter of money. What a young man is earning early in his career, is far less worth considering than his willingness to work, or his capacity and ambitions. If he is earning $60 a week, and the girl thinks that will keep her in ease, he would be foolish to marry her. If on the other hand, she realizes that it is a small income, that to live within it will require economy, and is willing to do her part towards keeping down expenses, no smash looms ahead. The trouble is that many girls think that they must marry into a life of luxury, and are not willing to take a chance, meanwhile assisting the husband to accomplish more in a financial way, and share with him the benefits of their combined efforts.

The trouble is that many girls think that they must marry into a life of luxury, and are not willing to take a chance, meanwhile assisting the husband to accomplish more in a financial way, and share with him the benefits of their combined efforts. QUESTIONS OF MOMENT Announcement is made, and falls as balm upon the troublous times, that it is proper for a gentleman to take the right arm of a lady in the street. There had been a falling off, almost an elimination, of the fashion of taking the arm mentioned, or any other. In the good old days when the male was girt with sword, and likely to draw the same at very short notice, it was his wont to take the lady's right arm, leaving his own good right to cleve the impertinent heads of the rabble, should commotion arise in the highway. In these latter days the man carries no sword, unless while on show in the parade, and that sword never was "fleshed" as they used to say. Nevertheless he is likely to need the arm to fend off the crowd, to have at the fleeting and reckless chauffeur. It is necessary to hold fast to the lady lest the throng sweep her away, or the rude jostle her. With her right held by her protector, her left is free to hold bundles, babies or whatnot. Nobody knows why one social function is for awhile proper, and then is under the ban. Human experience is marked by the change from propriety to impropriety, and back again. There is no explanation as to who lays down the laws, nor why, but there is a widespread ambition to follow them. OPERATING FOR BEAUTY A girl who thought that her good looks might be made better by an operation, went to a beauty parlor and had her lip carved. She claimed later that the operation had marred instead of mended, and sought damages of the specialist. All this is a strictly personal affair, and must be considered the concern alone of the two females involved. The public, however, catches the gleam of a side light upon the operation, and begins to sit up and take notice. Astrology is mixed in in a curious way. The woman who wielded the knife says that she first consulted the stars. Evidently they winked an approving assent. "I just held the knife and the universe did the operation," she is quoted as saying. If there is a case of damages, half of it would seem to lie against the universe.

Perhaps a universe should have taken a different course. It has seemed, generally, to be ruled by wisdom. If actively participating on this occasion, it might, instead of guiding the blade, have wrested it from the hand of the specialist, intimating thus that the starry advisors had gotten off on the wrong foot, so to speak. Then there would have been none of this fuss about a suit. Bandits in New York wear silk hats. This is unusual, but perhaps bandits can afford this expensive headgear better than most people. The style has not reached this coast yet. Out here the Apache cap and the bandana muffler still persist. Ellis Transfer & Moving LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE HAULING 119 E.

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES— I SAW MRS. JONES TO-DAY M'DEAR! AHEIM DAILY HERALD Between Our selves By Della M. Stewart There aren't many of us who shouldn't eagerly accept success could be handed us on a silver platter. But too many times we think that because we have heard that the world owes us a living we can sit down peacefully and let her pay. The world isn't that kind of a debtor. She's the common or garden variety that wants to be urged and coaxed to do her share. It's the kind of a debt that must be collected—with much effort on our heart. Somewhere, somehow, in the fruitful years before the present lean ones, values became wofully mixed in our minds. We put that of ease before that of labor; that of enjoyment above driving toward ideals. We thought, did we stop to think at all, that our fixing thus would permanently settle such questions. Why should we not feel ourselves infallible, our intelligences superwise? Had we not accomplished wonders through the last decades? Invention after invention, discovery after discovery, adaption after adaption—these had rapidly come. We grew cock-sure of ourselves. But one thing we had forgotten. We had forgotten that humanity cannot change the immutable laws of the universe. We may ignore them, we may declare they are not there, we may be innocently ignorant of them. But sooner or later they pop up, like a jack-in-the-box, to confound us, and to prove our pungy strength of body or of intellect, to say sternly, "Thus far, and so farther!" Success has always meant hard work in the real variety. It always will. Success has always meant perseverance and high ideals and single-minded effort. Little Stories for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) PETER RABBIT is one of the kindest-hearted little people of the Green Forest or the Green Meadows. He is happy-go-lucky and his dreadful curiosity is forever getting him into all kinds of trouble. Perhaps it is because he has been in so many scrapes himself that he always feels sorry for others who get into trouble. Anyway, no sooner does Peter hear of some one in trouble than he begins to wonder how he can help them. So just as soon as he found out for himself that Sammy Jay had told the truth about Chatterer? "Good afternoon, Prickly Porky Have you heard the news about Chatterer?" "Serves him right. I hope it will teach him a lesson." Peter's heart sank. "Don't you think it is dreadful?" he asked. "Just think, he will never, never be able to run and play in the Green Forest again unless we can get him out." "So much the better," grunted Prickly Porky. "So much the better. He always was a nuisance. Never did see such a fellow for making trouble for other people. No, sir, I never did. The rest us of can have some peace now. Serves him right." Prickly Porky went on chewing bark as if Chatterer's trouble was no concern of his. Peter's heart sank lower still. He scratched one long ear slowly with a long hind foot, which is a way he has when he is thinking very hard. He was so busy thinking that he didn't see the twinkle in the dull little eyes of Prickly Porky, who really was not so hard-hearted as his words sounded. After a long time, during which Peter thought and thought and Prickly Porky ate and ate, the latter spoke again. "What have you got on your mind, Peter?" he asked. "I—I was just thinking how perfectly splendid it would be if you would go up there and ganw a way out of his prison for Chatterer," replied Peter timidly. "Huh!" grunted Prickly Porky. "Huh!" Some folks think my wits are pretty slow, but even I know better than that. Put on your thinking cap again. Peter Rabbit." "Why can't you?"

Have a Smile Two Irishmen were being shown around a coal mine for the first time. When they saw the coal coming up one shaft from the pit, Mike remarked to his companion: "Sure, I'd like to see the men who put those great lumps of coal in the skips! They must be terrible strong!" "Don't be silly!" said his friend Pat. Why, it's that dark down there they can't see what they're lifting! A Scottish minister discovered a rouser button in the collection plate on Sunday morning. In the evening he ascended the pulpit he announced: "I wish to remind you that there is a collection at the close of the service. The text I have chosen for the evening sermon is: 'Rend your heart and not your garments.'" Willie, aged six, was going through an orchard looking for the easiest tree to climb, when he came face to face with the irate owner, who had with him a ferocious dog. "Where are you going?" demanded this unwelcome individual. "Back," said Willie, after one look at the dog. An Englishman arrived in the wildlands where the real cowboys come from. He had been told to ask for a certain ranch foreman who would give him a job. He went up to a man in the first village he came to. "Have you seen a tall fellow with a dark beard hanging around here?" he asked. "Yes," said the man: "day before yesterday." "Your're sure?" asked the Englishman. "Oh, yes, I had hold of the rope."

Somehow the Arbuckle case seemed to open on the theory that it really Good afternoon, Prickly Porky Have you heard the news about Chatterer? terer the Red Squirrel and that Chatterer really was in a prison at Farmer Brown's house he began to think and think of some way to help Chatterer. Now, of course, Peter didn't know what kind of a prison Chatterer was in. He remembered right away how Prickly Porky the Porcupine had gnawed a great hole in the box in which Johnny Chuck's lost baby was kept by Farmer Brown's boy. Why shouldn't Prickly Porky do as much far Chatterer? He would go see him at once. The trouble with Peter is that he doesn't think of all sides of a question. He is impulsive. That is, he goes right ahead and does the thing that comes into his head first, and sometimes this isn't the wisest or best thing to do. So now he scampered down into the Green Forest as fast as his long legs would carry him to hunt for Prickly Porky. It was no trouble at all to find him, for he had only to follow the line of trees that had been stripped of their bark. Good afternoon, Prickly Porky Have you heard the news about Chatterer? said Peter, talking very fast, for he was quite out of breath. Yes," replied Prickly Porky. THE ONCE OVER By H. I. PHILLIPS YO HO FOR THE TRICK NAVY! Watch for the sectional or portable battleship! With the agreement between nations to scrap a greater part of their navies, keeping only a few for the purpose of review, the demand of the hour will be for a Sears-Roebuck battle cruiser, put up in small blocks, shipped to any nation upon receipt of sufficient stamps, and easy to assemble if you follow the catalogue directions. Prohibition has proved there is a way out of everything. Disarmament will mean an area of suitcase navies, just as the Volstead act has meant an era of suitcase alcohol! Warships will come in building block units, and every naval man will do his duty by having a grip full of units in each hand. No admiral's cellar will be without its supply of portable parts. The next The Ghost of Admiral Farragut is gravely concerned. "If the American navy reduces itself to the point planned the next naval war ought to be a stirring spectacle," said the admiral's spirit when interviewed late last night. "But what I want to know is whether it will be ROWED UP OR DOWN STREAM." John Paul Jones, reached by ouija, was particularly "het up" over the proposal to put the American navy up in small packages. "Victory in the next naval war will rest with the nation that has the best dressed regatta committee," he said, sarcastically. "America has a slight bulge on other naval powers in that she has the greatest supply of white duck pants and yachting caps, but the Japanese can stand more sunburn." Admiral Dewey seemed greatly de- Snap Shots By Henry James The fact that almost any man will put up his hands when politely asked to do so, ought to ban the handit custom of approach from the rear with a bludgeon. Somehow the Arbuckle case seemed to open on the theory that it really was Los Angeles, that stood at the bar. Politics in the management of a harbor never did much for the benefit of commerce. This section has been free of all destructive storms, but the resident mentioning the fact would do well to have fingers crossed. One woman who attends the Burch trial habitually brings her knitting. Evidently a domestic person. It is hoped that the exclusion of babes in arms from a murder trial is not covert effort to discourage motherhood. Prohibition has proved there is a way out of everything. Disarmament will mean an area of suitcase navies, just as the Volstead act has meant an era of suitcase alcohol! Warships will come in building block units, and every naval man will do his duty by having a grip full of units in each hand. No admiral's cellar will be without its supply of portable parts. The next fruitful field for bootleggers will be in the warship business. A navy may be down but it is never out. Japan is still balking on the 5-5-3 proposal. She thinks it all right as a football signal, but no good as a naval policy. Japan favors a 10-10-7 plan. There are more loopholes in that combination of figures. Admiral Kato holds that if he reduces his navy to the size requested it will make Japan second in naval importance to the Yale Rowing Association, only one ship more powerful than the Sheepshead Bay Fishing Club, and on even terms with the Rockaway Canoe Sorority. John Paul Jones, reached by ouija, was particularly "hot up" over the proposal to put the American navy up in small packages. "Victory in the next naval war will rest with the nation that has the best dressed regatta committee," he said, sarcastically. "America has a slight bulge on other naval powers in that she has the greatest supply of white duck pants and yachting caps, but the Japanese can stand more sunburn." Admiral Dewey seemed greatly depressed. "Think of it!" he exclaimed. "America went to war with Spain on a suspicion that the Spaniards blew up one United States warship. Now America proposes to blow up most of her own ships herself in order to keep out of war with anybody! I got out of it all just in time. Why, the next naval war will be second as a spectacle to the fifty-yard dash for boys under fifteen years of age in the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool. I'm glad I fought the Battle of Manila at the time I did. If I had to fight it a year from now they'd probably make me hold it Saturday afternoon between 3:30 and 5 p.m., under the auspices of the Filipino Yacht Club, and present a loving cup to the loser."
