VICTIM OF APHASIA IDENTIFIED BY PHOTO Now at the Home of His Brother-in-Law in Santa Ana After three weeks of wandering about the country, ignorant of his own identity, remembering nothing of his friends or of the young wife waiting for him in Utah and puzzled over his mysterious disappearance, Joseph Day, 34-year-old veteran of the world war, is in Santa Ana, with a name pinned to him which means little more than the name he had assumed before he was turned over to physicians at the Los Angeles receiving hospital, and with absolutely no knowledge of the events which have transpired since he slipped out of the little town of Bountiful, Utah, one day three weeks ago at the beginning of his obscure perceptions. Three weeks ago the odd mental sickness which physicians call aphasia divested him of the personality of Joseph Day and sent him out, not as one reborn, but as one hesitating on the verge of a rebirth, unable to distinguish himself in the somber darkness which enveloped his mind, growing vaguely for a hypostasis upon which to place the fabric of his being. Today he is under the care of his brother-in-law, J. A. Hatch, a Santa Ana chiropractor, at the latter's home, 600 South Parton street, searching now earnestly for his old self which lurked just out of reach in the obscurity on this queer mental fog. Mr. Hatch has assumed the task of bringing him back to normal again and is confident of success. Mr. Hatch said: "My brother-in-law, who was a sergeant in the marine corps and served in Siberia and at the American legation, Pekin, China, during the world war, was professor of English and history at Woods Cross high school, Woods Cross, Utah, at the time of his would seem that France would realize that it is not strong enough on its own resources to cut loose from the sympathy and friendship of Great Britain and the United States, and probably of Italy as well, and adopt a swaggering attitude toward the defeated Germans. The manner in which Lloyd George and the British nation will react to this bellicose pose of the Poincare government remains to be disclosed. To the American eye, it seems a great pity that just at the moment when France and Great Britain seemed upon the point of coming to a better and closer working understanding the French have chosen to draw off in this defiant spirit. WILBUR ON ATHLETICS There is no adequate substitute for athletic competition. For youngsters in grammar school, for high school lads and for college men athletics are essential as a safety valve. This is the firm conviction of no less an authority than Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university and advocate of clean sports. In an informal talk with Harry B. Smith a few days ago the Stanford executive frankly discussed various phases of college athletics. His views are interesting and may be said to reflect the general feeling held by most modern educators with respect to the importance of athletics in school life. Most men who go in for athletic competition, Dr. Wilbur observes have a higher scholarship standing, on the average, than those who do not. He insists that athletics should be kept on a plane to interest all ages, and warmly favors athletic meets partaking of the properties of big annual reunions. He would in no sense shut out the public, but at the same time he warns against permitting university football A GOOD WAY An abandoned placed with the Home society five year in California quarterly reporters of the Jessie Jordan, The record of society during February 1st, 30 children rather at Los Angeles During the dan states, a total of all ages can pervise of thers for placement some peculiar which the organ little ones.

To the one hundred and thirty-eight courses of last year, thirty-two new ones have been added in the announcement for 1922. Among these new educational offerings, a few of the more prominent are: "Psychology of Childhood," "Development of Education in America," "History and Appreciation of Music," "The Book Review," (a course on criticism), "Liberal Thought in English Literature," "The Teaching of English," "School Administration in City and State," "Geography of the Pacific," (dealing with importance of the Panama canal), "The Technique of Giving and Scoring Mental Tests," and "Care and Feeding of Children."

FRANCE PLAYS LONE HAND The reason is now apparent why former Premier Briand threw down the reins of office, although he had an apparent majority in the French school life. Most men who go in for athletic competition, Dr. Wilbur observes have a higher scholarship standing, on the average, than those who do not. He insists that athletics should be kept on a plane to interest all ages, and warmly favors athletic meets partaking of the properties of big annual reunions. He would in no sense shut out the public, but at the same time he warns against permitting university football and other athletic events to reach the baseball park stage. In other words he says football games and other college sports should be held on the university campus of one of the competing colleges. Stanford's president has no objection to an occasional long trip for a football team or other group of athletes. Such things, in moderation, he asserts, serve to nationalize our country. But he does oppose the pickings of one team to represent the championship of a section and another team for still another section and without further reason arranging a game. As to the question of salaries for coaches he says that can readily be arranged and regulated by inter-university greement, but adds that colleges must expect to pay for brains, whether they are employing a coach or a professor of chemistry. Dr. Wilbur believes in diversity of college sports. He says there should be fencing, basketball, rowing and all the minor sports, so as to give the young man a chance to enter into one sport if they are not capable of another. If university officials generally take the same sensible view, we need not worry greatly over the fate of college athletics. TABOO HIGHWAY SIGNS Kings county has adopted an ordinance requiring the removal of advertising signs from county highways. This is a very creditable move. The California highway commission refuses to allow the erection of any advertising signs on state highway right of way, but county highways are littered with these useless and disfiguring contraptions. We understand that an effort will be made in the next legislation to forbid the erection of any advertising sign within 200 feet of any public highway.

FRANCE PLAYS LONE HAND The reason is now apparent why former Premier Briand threw down the reins of office, although he had an apparent majority in the French chamber of deputies. At heart the French people wanted a more aggressive and belligerent attitude toward Germany, and only followed Briand's milder policy because for the moment it was the government's position. Premier Briand, sensing that public opinion was lukewarm toward his policy and that there was no assurance that he would be supported in a moment of sharp issue, sagaciously slipped out and permitted President Poincare and the more radical elements to assume office and try out the lone-hand policy. At this distance it seems to the American friends of France that the French government is making a mistake. It seems that the inevitable effect will be to estrange sympathy, not only in the United States, but in Great Britain, and that as sympathy is lost to France, it will in some measure pass to Germany. Where would France be today if she had played a lone hand when Germany threw its vast armies upon her in 1914? For the moment Germany is disarmed, but so was Prussia disarmed after the Napoleonic conquest, and out of resentment for that treatment entered upon a shrewd method of building up its armies and forming military alliances that ended in the downfall of Napoleon at Waterloo. It California highway commission refuses to allow the erection of any advertising signs on state highway right of way, but county highways are littered with these useless and disfiguring contraptions. We understand that an effort will be made in the next legislation to forbid the erection of any advertising sign within 200 feet of any public highway. With the movement to ornaments highways with trees and shrubs in keeping with the spirit of California to protect and perpetuate and develop that which is beautiful, should go hand in hand the movement to remove disfiguring advertising signs from the landscape. The only kind of signs that should be allowed to remain on a public highway in this state should be those of value to the traveler, such as road signs and net signs calling atention to points or places of interest. In this latter class is the Tulare county signs at the entrance of the county near Kingsbury and Delano on the state highway, the "Visalia-Giant Forest" sign at the Hanford lateral intersection, the Chowchilla townsite sign at Chowchilla, etc. But the U.S. Tire book, the Hood Tire policeman, the Standard oil bullseye, Wrigley's gum, garage and hotel mileposts should be taboo. There are plenty of mediums for legitimate advertising, like the newspapers and magaazines, without disfiguring the landscape with commercial appeals. For goodness sake let's make it possible to take a ride without being forced to read advertisements; let's make it possible to view a pretty field or grove or hill without having it blotched all up withatrocious sign-painter's daubing.

The record of relinquishments to the society during the past year ending February 1st, showed an average of 30 children received each month either at Los Angeles or Oakland. During the same period, Mrs. Jordan states, a total of 215 new children of all ages came under the direct supervision of the society and its workers for placement in suitable homes on some peculiar type of care or service which the organization renders to the little ones. Of this number 200 were successfully placed with foster parents in every part of the state, thus giving the abandoned boys and girls proper parental care, education and an opportunity to enjoy the rights of normal American children. In the months covered by the report 160 boys and girls were legally adopted by foster parents through the efforts of the society and approximately 600 visits to home of such parents were made by representatives of the work. Practically every county in the state has contributed to the number of homeless children and almost every county has in turn received children for adoption. 'California is one of the foremost states in the union in caring for her abandoned and homeless little ones,' said Mrs. Jordan, "but the problem is a huge one, the work of this society depending wholly upon public support. Economic conditions, divorce and just plain temperament are largely responsible for the large number of children who must be placed in suitable homes if they are to become good citizens." FLAPPERS IN COLLEGE HIS REAL NAME Young January being poor wears nothing but his skin. While February in a robe ofermine rare comes in. March shivers in a worn brown cloak, and April, frail and fair, Is folded in a rainbow scarf with snowdrops in her hair. May dons the apple blossom's pink and June the rose's red. July in faded overalls picks cherries for his bread. And August trends the sunny fields a stately Indian queen. Apparelled like the standing corn in silken gold and green. September, garbed in purple, bears a baske pi'ed with grapes. Dark amethystine globes from which a juicy dew escapes. October is a cavalier, so flaunts a crimson plume. November, telling beads of rain, is cowled in fog and gloom. But when December comes, behold! he's whiskered, booted, furred, His ringing laughter like the sound of merry he'll is heard. His arms are filled with many gifts and holly wreaths because The little children knew him first and named him Santa Claus. EDUCATE AGAINST CRIME Raise high the torch of education; right the dark places with knowledge, seasoned with training in good citizen ship, and the earnest conviction expressed by Cleveland Moffett, noted writer, speaking before high school teachers in Los Angeles. Mr. Moffett advocates using the high school and the church buildings of large cities to combat crime. He holds that these edifices never should be empty. He favors lectures day and night on phases of good citizenship, in schools and in churches. "These buildings," BOOSTING LORING FOR GOVERNOR Mine owners and mine workers throughout the state are making a determined effort to convince W. J. Loring, Republican, that he should be a starter in the coming gubernatorial race. Loring, president of the American mining congress, is a mining magistrate and banker, whose principal interests are located in Sonora, Amador and Tuolumne counties. Republican National Committeeman Wm. H. Crocker, or San Francisco, a close friend of Loring's, declares that the mining man has all the qualities necessary in the successful executive, but doubts whether Loring can be persuaded to take a hand in politics. On the other hand, Edward Higgins, president of the California Metal and Mineral Producers' association, is confident that repeated requests from the mining interests will eventually bring about Loring's candidacy. Up to the present time, Loring has given no intimation as to his political intentions. Arguments sometimes are lost in the heat of debate that never were tried in the fiery furnace of common sense.

FLAPPERS IN COLLEGE What's a "flapper?" The word has been bandied about in the public press quite a little of late, but few have had the courage to attempt to define its meaning. Miss Mary Ide Bentley, former secretary of the San Francisco Young Women's Christian association, in an address delivered at Berkeley recently, declared that there were approximately 2000 "flappers" on the student rolls of the University of California. The statement is, after all, not quite so startling when we learn Miss Bentley's interpretation of the term. "Flappers," says Miss Bentley, "usually are girls who believe personality is physical, who consider all advice as abstract, who love continual change, who converse in generalities and who are in many higher institutions of learning. "To present a picture of the normal girl as she exists today is a daring venture," Miss Bentley added. "She has no average, she has no group tie. She is a stranger to herself—sometimes especially to members of her own family—and cannot be compared with her kind of a previous age. "We are tempted to think of her as living in a spirit of masquerade so rapidly and completely can she as some different and difficult roles of accomplishment. "She tantalizes us by the simplicity of her artfulness and yet unreality. We find her high-hearted, which is the privilege of youth. She believes with Stevenson that 'to have missed the joy is to have missed it all.' We find her harboring secrets and bedded emotions which are her hidden treasure in the mysterious discovery of herself as a private individual. If we do not understand these symptoms we call it temperament and try to dispose of the girl as difficult or as 'needing discipline.'" It is perhaps to be regretted that our already over-crowded university is being burdened with a class of young people who do not appear to light the dark places with knowledge, seasoned with training in good citizenship, and the earnest conviction expressed by Cleveland Moffett, noted writer, speaking before high school teachers in Los Angeles. Mr. Moffett advocates using the high school and the church buildings of large cities to combat crime. He holds that these edifices never should be empty. He favors lectures day and night on phases of good citizenship, in schools and in churches. "These buildings," he said, "should be kept working all the time in the fight against evil and ignorant activities that never languish. These suggestions, coming from thoughtful, able man of wide experience and keen observation, deserve attention. The forces of vice and crime work day and night, as Mr. Moffett says. They must be fought tirelessly, if headway is to be made against them. And they must be fought by other methods than the guns and clubs of policemen, necessary though these are. Education and moral training and the indoctrinating of good citizenship impulses must proceed unceasingly, or the powers of darkness will overcome them. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." And the way to "overcome evil with good" is to teach goodness and to exemplify it in practice. The lives of honest, law-abiding, God-fearing men and women are in themselves inspirations to others to live upright. COST OF LIVING STILL HIGH The cost of living is still approximately seventy per cent higher than in 1914, despite a drop of about seventeen per cent during the last eighteen months, figures for twenty-one representative cities, made public by the labor department revealed. Furniture and house furnishings are showing the greatest resistance to depression, the increase over 1914 still being from 109 to 149.9 per cent. Housing, clothing, fuel and light are dropping very slowly. Decreases from June 30, 1920, to December 31, 1921, include the following: Denver, 17.2; Portland, Ore., 21.0; San Francisco and Oakland, 16.5 and Seattle, 18.5. A table showing increase in the cost of principal items from 1914 to 1921 in 111 cities includes: Los Angeles—Food, 38.4; clothing, 94.3; housing, 90.1; fuel and light, 52.7; furniture and furnishings, 143.2.

It is perhaps to be regretted that our already over-crowded university is being burdened with a class of young people who do not appear to know or much care why they are attending college unless it be to attain so-called advantages. However, it is hardly likely that they will be harmed by the experience gained and it altogether probable that they will profit in some measure by brushing up against an intellectual world. All youth is not superficial but a large percentage always has been so. Some day the turning point in their careers will come and then, even though they failed to take full advantage of earlier opportunities, they will be found better equipped to meet the demand imposed than they would have been had they not attended college. H. G. Wells writes that in view of the fact that the American people invited the European journalists and diplomats to Washington they ought to be courteous enough to wipe out the debt that is owing the United States by foreign governments. If Mr. Wells thinks that his presence here involves such an obligation as that it might save us money to give the distinguished socialist free passage home on one of the United States shipping board boats. A chronic loafer never seems to know that he is. He'll tell you either that he's sick or in hard luck. Housing, clothing, fuel and light are dropping very slowly.

This is according to prediction made by Director C. J. Chenu, of the state division of motor vehicles. The opening days were record-breakers, according to Chenu, more than 2,000 licenses having been issued over the counter in the Sacramento office alone. The first day eclipsed all previous records, $200,000 in fees being collected in the state. Due to added facilities in the department this great volume of business was possible and Chenu feels confident the registration this year will be comparatively short and that every autolist will secure his license in the quickest possible time and without much trouble. Talent never is smothered if there is practicability behind it. The only thing that can happen to it is to be obscured temporarily if it's genuine.
