A POINT OF VIEW By ALBERT ABBOTT EVERSHARP PENCIL POINTS I would like to have it understood that all expressions of opinions in this department are my own, are original with me, unless otherwise credited. Therefore, "points of views" here mentioned do not commit this paper or anyone connected with it. The Anaheim public library ceases to be 100 per cent perfect for the very good reason that it does not have on file for public use the Santa Ana Register, the leading paper in Orange county. If the "library site" is acquired for a park, how long after it is acquired will it continue to remain a "sight"? It's an ill gas shortage that doesn't gas anybody any good. While in the car on the main highways between Los Angeles and Anaheim Sunday night after ten o'clock, there was scarcely a car coming from the south or the north to be seen. The clear road was noticeable, because, as a rule, on Sunday nights, the stream of automobiles coming from the south especially, would be continuous. The absence of this stream may mean that autoists got home before night as they did not care to be caught in the dark without gas. Even politics is jazzed these days. A local political candidate's supply of straw burned recently, making a sort of pre-election bonfire. Gee, he is rushing things. When I was a kid we his weakness — and despises some brands of bootleg liquor for the same reason. A cynic is a man whose disappointment is due to the fact that the world was made without his advice. ("That's me.") It has been said to me that only taxpayers should be allowed to vote on the park bond proposition. That suits me. It seems to me that idea would be a good one to apply to all propositions wherein there is a tax levy to be made. There is a whole lot of difference in belonging to a church and being what the church stands for. Some of Anaheim's dirt streets are very "dirty." One thing I have learned in Anaheim is that if you haven't got a bank account, you are a count—no account—and you are not, therefore, a "leading citizen." A lot of people favor one thing or another just because somebody else does so. Originality of thought and action is a lost art. Women will try to "bamboozle" a young man, even in this age of "no gas." The other day a young woman driving a car slowly by a "filling tank" on Los Angeles street tried to "guile" "only a quart, please," of gas from the young man attendant. Who would ever think that the mighty auto autocrat would ever have to come to the point of begging for gasoline? The young "lady" referred to had an allowance of gas in her tank, but she was trying to hoard more than the law allows. Women, women, don't be a hog. clothes.

A local political candidate's supply of straw burned recently, making a sort of pre-election bonfire. Gee, he is rushing things. When I was a kid we used to burn everything in eight AFTER a local candidate was elected, but nowadays, kids can't wait until an election has transpired, but they have to go to work and build a bonfire previous to the election. Fullerton may have a better fire department than Anaheim, but Fullerton will have to pump a whole lot to obtain a better band than the ANAHEIM Elks Band. Exercising your conscience will keep it in a healthy condition. The time to not believe all you hear is when it is said about yourself. The man that is rich in vain praises of himself is generally the poorest. Because cheerfulness is contagious is no reason why you should be afraid of it. Skimming the cream off the milk of human kindness seems to be a "business trick" of life. The most popular foolish question at this writing is: "Isn't it hot?" If we would ask each other something we didn't already know, we wouldn't bore each other so much. Every time I go to a certain church IN Anaheim, that old popular hymn, "Stand Up for Jesus," is sung. But, when I get out into the everyday life of the town, "the warriors of the cross" are not to be seen. I wonder if they are in ambush. Or, maybe, there is a perpetual armistice in vogue. It is astonishing how far a few feminine tears will go with a man. People can enjoy close to nature if they don't have to. When I meet a girl "too sweet for words," I don't have any—I use the lip gas." The other day a young woman driving a car slowly by a "filling tank" on Los Angeles street tried to "guile" "only a quart, please," of gas from the young man attendant. Who would ever think that the mighty auto autocrat would ever have to come to the point of begging for gasoline? The young "lady" referred to had an allowance of gas in her tank, but she was trying to hoard more than the law allows. Women, women, don't be a hog. Nearly 2,000 persons watched a warehouse burn in Minneapolis, becoming so interested they forgot to sound the alarm. Maybe this fire was more realastic than a reel fire. The age of chivalry is not passed; it is only of different nature. Very often one sees a young woman cranking her fliver. She does not succeed very well. A young man appears on the scene and offers his services. She accepts blushingly. He awkwardly brushes the dust off the palms of his hands as she "scoots" away. The God of Chivalry has been appeased. BUT, a couple of hours later she may not recognize him and make him hop, skip and jump the crossing. Dudley Field Malone, candidate for governor of New York on the Farmer Labor party ticket, says the government must take possession of the coal mines, the railways, and all public utilities. This looks like more trouble. The government has one public utility—the postoffice—which is an everlasting target of dissatisfaction. The government already had "possession" of the railroads, which is still a target for criticisms. If we are to judge the future by the past, we will certainly have lots to "knock." Londoners are thinking seriously of wearing the paper suits that are now on the market in London. History has record of the "stone age." Now, I suppose, history will record the "paper age." Young man, to be popular with the young ladies nowadays, all you need is a gas wagon and a cigarette in your mouth. That's all. In the political news issued by each party, in referring to their presidential opponent, they use the significant words, "IF elected." It looks by this that each is not so sure of its own success.

People can enjoy close to nature if they don't have to. When I meet a girl "too sweet for words," I don't have any—I use the lip language. Some wives feed their husbands on "pieces of their minds." If some waiters would swallow their own words they wouldn't be so hungry too. I have yet to meet the person in Anaheim who is not in favor of a park for Anaheim; but I meet different people who want the park in various places. It is utterly impossible for anyone to bring forth a reason against A park. Therefore, the issue before the voters of Anaheim is not shall we have A park, BUT is WHERE shall we have it? Have you noticed in the press reports that when a city is reported as having gained in the census, citizens of that city express surprise at the growth of the town; but, when a city loses in the census, citizens of that town express themselves as not being surprised, they expected as much, for obvious reasons? Might as well be cheerful about it. A man's wife may lay down the law to her husband, but she is willing to let him lay down the carpets. Many a drunkard despises himself for Young man, to be popular with the young ladies nowadays, all you need is a gas wagon and a cigarette in your mouth. That's all.

Criticism is made of the government for removing trade restrictions with Russia, the claim being that such removal is a virtual acknowledgment of bolshevism. The best way is for those business men who are in a position to trade with Russia, not do so. But, then, I suppose, business is business. Do YOU think? Here is something to think about: For a very, very long time we have been having it said to us in all kinds of ways and means to produce, to produce. Now, the press reports say that woolen mills in the east are shut down, and the Pennsylvania railroad has laid off thousands of workers. What does it mean? CLOTHES INDICATE THE MAN The New York Times, the Ohio State Journal, and the Santa Ana Register say that "clothes make the man." They are right, in that clothes indicate the mind-stuff of the man, and that the man will endeavor to live up or down to the story the clothes he has on tell. One of the damable heresies that casted a gloom over the salad days of my green youth was that old saying: "You can't judge a man by the clothes he wears." When I was a kid I took up with that misstatement of fact, and resented being judged by my True, the way the mud. But mud puddle water of water lilies beautiful lily cognizance of lily.

Spinning the bucket ing to a wood A COVER THAT STORY The artist the Herald's tainly brought products to give trouble whats looking at this wells, lemons the chief pro ANAHEIM GAZETTE clothes. I finally had to acknowledge by bitter experience that the world DOES judge a man by the clothes he wears, whether we like is or not, whether it is right or not. The world has done it and is doing it in spite of all the preachments that "clothes don't make the man" that have ever been preached. A man should clothe himself according to his means to do so. If he is in a position to have a wardrobe suitable to meet every occasion of modern life, he should have it. The different functions a man of activity is enmeshed in require clothes suitable for that function. The man is wise who will clothe himself according to the function or place he is in. If he is hunting, hunting clothes are the thing. If he is at a dance, evening clothes are the thing. If he is at business, business clothes are the thing. But, for the man in moderate circumstances—the "average man"—a wardrobe to meet each and every occasion may not be feasible. But that is no reason why one should not dress neat and becoming in an all-around general-use attire. Of course, a youth who dresses in "fauncy" cuts of trousers and coats is not well groomed. That's faddism. A well-dressed man is one who is well-groomed. The conventional, conservative cuts of clothing are always in order. It all depends on how you wear them, on how you keep them neat and in good order. I have made several personal researches in the psychology of clothes. I have dressed in various degrees of being well groomed and have visited the same people. Every time when I was properly groomed I got what I was after, and many things I didn't go after, but which I welcomed. It may be unjust that we are judged by the tailor's and haberdasher's trade, but it is a fact, nevertheless. It is some the same. LET'S OSTRICIZE CARELESSNESS "I am not much of a mathematician," said Old Man Carelessness, "but I can ADD to your troubles, I can SUBSTRACT from your earnings, I can MULTIPLY your aches and pains, I can take INTEREST from your work, and I can DISCOUNT your chances in a FRACTION of a second if you will DIVIDE your time with me." WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? There are two ways of looking at everything, the negative way which says "I can't," and the positive that says, "I can." There are two stories that men tell toward life's end. One in a thousand tells how he DID it. Nine hundred and ninety-nine explain why it COULDN'T be done. CAREFREE YOUTH Any day, in any number of the automobiles parked along the curbs, children may be seen frolicking. Before the advent of the automobile, parents were "skeered to death" to leave their children in the buggy or carriage for fear the horse would run away. The ego born these days certainly is being born in the "golden age." DOINGS AND THE DOERS Longfellow could take a worthless piece of paper and write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000—that's genius. There are some men who can write a few words on a piece of paper and I have made several personal researches in the psychology of clothes. I have dressed in various degrees of being well groomed and have visited the same people. Every time when I was properly groomed I got what I was after, and many things I didn't go after, but which I welcomed. It may be unjust that we are judged by the tailor's and haberdasher's trade, but it is a fact, nevertheless. It is true, of course, that every man that is well groomed is not true to form in character. But, the powers that give out the "plums" in life do not take the time to go beneath the surface of a frazzled suit of clothes to get at the facts of character. The man that is looking for competent companions in the business life of the world today wants you to indicate who and what you are by your make-up. It may be argued here: Suppose a man falsely dresses up? Good point! But, the psychology of clothes is that you will either live-up to your label or you will soon be detected in your falsehood and branded as a fakir. Clothes work both ways. Clothes will either represent our true character and our state of mind, or they will be the inspiration to us to adjust our minds and characters to suit our costume. If a young man has an ambition to get along in the world he will get along much better and quicker if he will endeavor to always look the part he is playing. For instance, if he is out surveying, he should dress as a surveyor; if he calls at the sumptuous private office of a "captain of industry" hidden away in the big city, he should look the part of the prosperous business man, or whatever calling he is supposed to be representing. I have learned by bitter experience that people will not look beneath the lack of polish to the "diamond?" in the rough. Polish the diamond, make it look bright and shinny, and the world is yours to conquer. True, the water lily comes out of the mud. But, we don't admire the mud puddle when we look at a field of water lilies. What we see is the beautiful lily. Very few of us take cognizance of the pond, we admire the lily. So, very few people at first care anything about where you came from, they notice you at your best first. Put a boy in a clown's suit, and he will try to mimic a clown. Put a boy in a dignified suit, and he will try to be dignified. The same law applies to children in the buggy or carriage fear the horse would run away. The ego born these days certainly being born in the "golden age." DOINGS AND THE DOERS Longfellow could take a worthless piece of paper and write a poem on it and make it worth $65,000—that's genius. There are some men who can write a few words on a piece of paper and make it worth a million dollars—that's capital. The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and make it worth twenty dollars—that's money. A mechanic can take material worth $5. and make it into watch springs worth $1,000—that's skill. There is a man in Paris who can take a fifty-cent piece of canvas, paint a picture on it and make it worth $1,000—that's art. A woman can purchase a hat for $3, but prefers paying $27 for it—that's foolishness. A ditch digger handles several tons of earth for $2.50 a day—that's labor. You can get a good sack of tobacco for ten cents—that's bull. The author, if this could write a check for $9,000,000, but it wouldn't be worth a cent—that's tough. There are people who will tell you there are better places to live in than Anaheim—that's nerve. Buy in, and boost Anaheim—that's commonsense. NOW, DON'T GET US MIXED UP The Republican Publicity Association, Washington, D.C., says that the removal of trade restrictions with Russia will "cost us untold lives and treasure." The publicity department of the republican national committee says that the removal of trade restrictions with Russia "is a joke," claiming that the treasury department of our government has no authority to do so. Now, which republican bunch is right? Team work, gentlemen, team work. Please let us vote intelligently and without passion? DID LINCOLN EVER JOIN A CHURCH? I have never united myself to any church because I have found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated MOTOR NEWS Like homing pigeons, the long distance inspection cars of the Auto Club of Southern California are rolling oak with reports on touring conditions in all parts of the United States. The latest to arrive came from the Canadian border, and from completing the circuit of the great national parks of the northwest, bringing the latest dope on the gasoline situation to the north and on the roads there. In British Columbia there is at present a renaissance of motoring rules. The old custom of driving on the left hand side of the roads and streets is giving way to the American method of proceeding on the right. July 15 saw a new law to this effect go into force, and other parts of Canada are to establish the American rule on January 1. Gasoline is practically as scarce in Oregon and Washington as it is or has been in Los Angeles, but there is plenty of gasoline in western Canada and in Idaho and Montana. Motor fuel has been higher in price, however, in Washington and Oregon, than it has been in Southern California, according to the report, generally on account of inadequate transportation facilities, a thing which has not been true of this section. The prices of gasoline there, says the auto club, have ranged from 27 to 55 cents. On account of the incomplete condition of the roads throughout the northern states, an unusual number of toll bridges and ferries are encountered daily. These provide detours. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX County Assessor James Sleeper has turned over to County Treasurer Joplin the sum of $513,331.06, representing the collections made by him for the year on unsecured personal property. This figure is approximately $127,669 short of the amount turned over last True, the water lily comes out of the mud. But, we don't admire the mud puddle when we look at a field of water lilies.

Put a boy in a dignified suit, and he will try to be dignified. The same law applies to older males. After all, being well groomed is a matter of habit. It is a lot of fuss and bother to always appear "at one's best." But, it is like everything else in life; it is all a matter of habit. And habit is a matter of breeding.

I have never united myself to any church because I have found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize their articles of belief and confessions of faith. When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement of the substance of both law and Gospel, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and THY NEIGHBOR AS thyself," that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul.—Abraham Lincoln. ARE WE AMERICANS CIVILIZED? Reports say that "scores of Americans are understood to be enlisting in the army of Lower California." Why? What American honor or principle is at stake? Is it not just plain blood-thirst—just a chance to commit murder under the guise of a "soldier of fortune"? Just because there is an opportunity to kill somebody in a "legal" way, scores of citizens of a supposedly enlightened nation rush to the opportunity. What has either side in Mexico done to America, or any of those who "volunteer," to kill some one who have no personal grievance against? Is this desire to kill a by-product of the killing spasm this country had to go through in Europe? When will "civilized?" people be civilized? PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX County Assessor James Sleeper has turned over to County Treasurer Joplin the sum of $513,331.06, representing the collections made by him for the year on unsecured personal property. This figure is approximately $127,669 short of the amount turned over last year, but the difference is said to be due to a lower tax rate. Of this amount collected this year by Sleeper, $475,000 of the sum is accounted for by leases held on oil property. The balance of the amount is made up of collections on other personal property not secured by real estate holdings, such as automobiles, pianos and property of a similar nature. The turning over of this money by Sleeper practically closes his business so far as this year's taxes are concerned, and Sleeper is now preparing his work so as to be able to attend the annual convention of county assessors, to be held at Santa Cruz, August 19-21.
