Wise and Otherwise By VADNEY Day by Day in Every Way the World Is Getting Worse and Worse A few days ago Mrs. Fannie Bixby Spencer, author, of Costa Mesa, Orange county, condemned the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" in the public schools, asserting that the national anthem is "fratricidal and lustful," as well as being an insult to the British nation. Now comes the esteemed ladies of the Long Beach branch of the Council of Jewish Women with a resolution protesting against school children being permitted to sing religious songs in which Christ is called the "Prince of Peace," "The Son of God" and "the Lord." Ye gods, what next? Yankee Bootleggers Lead English Cockneys Astray The thrill and romance, plus the golden harvest of American bootlegging, as told by the English newspapers, is said to be having a haleful influence on the night life of London. Over 1100 night clubs whose only excuse for existence is the selling of intoxicants after closing hours are said to be operating there now. English authorities are said to be thinking seriously of importing a few Orange county dry officials to combat the evil. Viva la Garconne," Mr. Ince's "New Type Girl" "La Garconne," a new type of girl—neither a vamp or a flapper, an ingenuue or a gold-digger, but just a we more than agree with her. We wish she had six. Uncle Sam Gets a Dose of Paregorie Yusuke Tsurumi, Japanese student and author, in a recent article given nationwide publicity through the columns of a leading American magazine, tells America there is no danger of war with Japan, but he also states the Japanese have a tender spot—which is the immigration question—and that the Johnson act passed by the American congress landed on the Japanese mind with a bang, awakening a sleeping dog by directly insulting his pride. A wounded pride is the most potent of all poisons affecting mankind. A sanskrit proverb says "A poisoned wound will not heal without the use of the lancet." And Japan, united by a secret treaty with Russia and China, is sharpening her lancet by manufacturing 500 war planes every month, or 25 times as many each month as the total number possessed by the United States. An enemy fleet of these Japanese planes crossing the Pacific and suddenly attacking an unprepared America would mightily assuage Japan's pride by deflating prices, closing the stock exchange, pauperizing the people with a crushing income tax and generally setting the American nation back 100 years. Mr. Tsurumi's article looks to us like a lethal dose of a potent narcotic, and Uncle Sam had better awake before he takes too much of it.

Mr. Ince is wrong. This type of girl is not new, but a reincarnation of our mothers and grandmothers. Mr. Bryan is Wrong Again The missing link, that mysterious, long-sought-for something which it is said by Mr. Darwin and denied by Mr. Bryan, links man to his pre-human ancestor, the ape, was found on February 3 at Taungs, Beuchuan land, Africa, by Prof. Raymond Dall of the Rand University. Professor Dall claims the skull found is a specimen from the phase of prehuman existence between the time of the most advanced ape and the primeval man—not exactly human and yet more intelligent than a gorilla. Therefore, Mr. Bryan must be wrong again. If You Are Thirsty, Page a Congressman Keep liquor from the congressmen of the United States for one week and the Volstead law will be repealed at that week's end, is the assertion made by William H. Stayton, head of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, Inc., in a recent address in New York City. Never having been a congressman, we cannot vouch for the truth of Mr. Staylon's assertion, but we intend to find out, and if our hat is in the ring at the next election, you will know he was right.

An extension of time of 60 days was granted to Los Angeles Paving Company, contractors, in which to complete their contract in the matter of Road Improvement District No. 39. Hearing of the petition of N. E. West, et al., to vacate and abandon a portion of those certain public streets, alleys, located in the Fifth Road District, was set for March 3, 1925, at 10 a.m. Publication to be made in the Laguna Life. The Chairman and the Clerk were authorized to sign and approve the plans of the Tri-Counties Hospital, as submitted by G. Stanley Wilson, architect. Hearing on the petition for change of school district boundaries, from Yorba to Yorba Linda district was continued to February 10, 1925, at 11 a.m. Petition for the formation of the Country Club Gardens Lighting District was presented and read. Hearing of same was set for February 24, 1925, at 11 a.m. Publication to be made in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register. THE SHORTRIDGE BILL The following telegram from Senator Shortridge, received Thursday, indicates that his efforts to have the Clarke-McNary bill amended so as to provide for protection of watershed cover is being favorably received. Should Senator Shortridge succeed in having his bill adopted, it would mean that all cover on watersheds of streams from which water is secured for domestic and irrigation purposes would have equal protection with timber land. This would be a very great help to people of Southern California: "I arranged for hearing this morning before our senate committee on agriculture and forestry on my watershed bill," said Shortridge. "Acting Forester Sherman appeared and favored the bill, with certain amendments, which appeared to meet also with a crushing income tax and generally setting the American nation back 100 years."

AN URGENT MAIL IN THEIR AUTOMOBILE LICENSE DELINQUENT PENALTY REST was issued vision of Motor Vehicle Administration. Never having been a congressman, we cannot vouch for the truth of Mr. Staylon's assertion, but we intend to find out, and if our hat is in the ring at the next election, you will know he was right. Bishop's Plea Big Success If Practiced Bishop Furse of St. Albans, England, in an address before the Foreign Missions Conference of North America this week, declared war the outcome of the jungle principle of "get, grab and keep if you can." He also said that what the world needed was "less preaching, more teaching, less talking and more silence." Every sane, thinking man will agree with the bishop, for there is a little too much of the jungle principle expressed not only in war between the nations, but in our national politics, business affairs, community life and even in our individual homes, and a little less preaching, more teaching, less talking and more silence would be good for us all. One Husband Not Enough, This Woman Must Have Threes And now comes the comely and learned Mr. Tennal, lady editor of the Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, and tells the Kansas editors at Topka that every woman needs three husbands—one to make money, one for society and one to look after the housekeeping. "Present-day husbands are all right as far as they go," she says, "but they don't go far enough." We agree with her. By the time we have crawled out at the break of day, cooked our breakfast while the wife takes her beauty nap, endured the daily grind at the office or the store, spent from 7 to 12 at the theatre or the dinner and then walk the floor with the baby for a few hours, Many thousands of Southern California motorists were saved from arrest and the consequent payment of fines last year through courteous warnings offered them when they were violating motor vehicle laws. This is indicated in the annual report of the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California, which shows that there were exactly 47,717 motorists during 1924 who were warned of infractions of motor vehicle laws before arrest followed violation. These warnings were instigated by members of the vigilance committee of the Automobile Club of Southern California, a volunteer group working to eliminate accidents on the highways and to bring about more general observance of traffic ordinances. This committee is made up of hundreds of members, each of whom is armed with cards on which license numbers are written. Any violation of the traffic laws that is seen by the that all cover on watersheds of streams from which water is secured for domestic and irrigation purposes would have equal protection with timber land. This would be a very great help to people of Southern California: "I arranged for hearing this morning before our senate committee on agriculture and forestry on my watershed bill," said Shortridge. "Acting Forester Sherman appeared and favored the bill, with certain amendments, which appeared to meet also with the approval of the committee. I am today reintroducing the amended bill, less general in scope, but giving everything required to meet your needs. In view of favorable attitude of both departments and apparently favorable attitude of committee, I am hopeful of early and favorable results." MANY HEED WARNINGS Another urgent mail in their area automobile license delinquent penalty rest was issued by vision of Motor Vehicle License. Although more plates have already through the mails and nearly $1 was pointed out to nearly 1,000,000 new plates who may fore March 2 or H. Marsh, chief officer attention today to getting application said: "We expect to approximately 1,300 registrations during weeks.

No one should be plates after that we can get applied it will be for the Applicants may Sacramento or Fresno, Oakland, Angeles or San Diego office of the auto who cannot apply mail their certificate to the Division Tenth and R street." committee man is noted on this card, which is mailed to the public safety department of the automobile club. In short order the motorist who has violated the law, either consciously or unconsciously, receives a very courteous letter from the auto club stating details of the infraction, such as the hour, date, location and manner. The note also explains that the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California is endeavoring to bring about a decrease in traffic violations and accidents through means of the warning. "We would like to count on your cooperation in our efforts. You can help by setting a good example to other drivers," reads part of the appeal. One such friendly warning proves sufficient for the average driver. Out of more than 47,000 there were only 523 reports of second violations by the same autoist, less than 2 per cent. Third offenders numbered only 17. On the other hand, the many replies to the letters sent to the motorists contained expressions of appreciation for the word of caution and assured the automobile club that the reminder would make for greater care in the future. This attitude, besides indicating understanding of the spirit in which the letter is sent, shows that the average motorist desires to obey the law.

Southern Counties Gas Company District Superintendent LEGION NOTES California may secure one of the five hospitals soon to be designated in various parts of the country by the federal government for the care of World War veterans suffering from habitual use of narcotics, according to word received at state headquarters of the American Legion here. A special staff is being trained by the government to treat narcotic patients, many of whom have become drug addicts as a result of treatments for disabilities suffered during the war. James K. Flsk, state adjutant of the American Legion, is traveling over Southern California on a week's tour of the various American Legion posts in that section. During his inspection tour, Flsk is to be present at the presentation of a beautiful clock to Past State Commander James F. Collins, at Long Beach, the gift of the American Legion of California. The presentation is to be made by John F. Quinn, former state and national commander of the American Legion. Trustees of the Knights of Columbus have appropriated $75,000 to enable the American Legion to properly carry on its rehabilitation program during the present year, State Commander Nathan F. Coombs of the Legion has been notified by national officers of the organization. The contribution from the Knights of Columbus has been made so that the Legion may continue its rehabilitation and child welfare work while the organization is raising the $5,000,000 endowment fund among its members. The Forty and Eight Society and the American Legion Women's Auxiliary have each pledged $25,000 to finance the child welfare program of the Legion.

Although more than 200,000 sets of plates have already been issued through the malls and over the counters and nearly $1,000,000 collected, it was pointed out that there are still nearly 1,000,000 motorists without the new plates who must secure them before March 2 or pay a penalty. Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, called attention today to the necessity of getting applications in early. He said: "We expect to have to handle approximately 1,300,000 motor vehicle registrations during the next three weeks. This means that every branch office will be crowded with work and, because of the additional burden put on us by the white certificate registrations, will proceed slower than formerly. "The fee is doubled after March 2, as the law says a penalty of 100 per cent must be added for delinquencies. No one should be without the new plates after that date. The earlier we can get applications in the better it will be for the applicants." Applicants may apply in person at Sacramento or branch offices in Fresno, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego or at any branch office of the automobile clubs. Those who cannot apply in person should mail their certificates and fee directly to the Division of Motor Vehicles, Tenth and R streets, Sacramento. 4 Thousand Victims Will be thrown on Saturday will bring, regard Sheet Music 5 Cents Per Copy Weber Music 206 West Center St B.
