CORNER PHILOSOPHY Osculation is the sincerest form of flappery. A married man doesn't get any time off for good behavior. Some people seem to have nothing except their aliments to boast about. We believe in evolution. The wooden nutmeg peddler became a lightning rod agent and is now a stock salesman. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, but that is no reason for a man to stay pickled. No matter what happens to most of us, we are used to it. The man who starts to ride a hobby shouldn't neglect to equip himself with an emergency brake. A man brags to his wife for the same reason that he once whistled when passing a cemetery. A dollar coming looks twice as big as a dollar going. Every man has a will of his own, but it is always safer to have a lawyer draw it up. The great trouble with people who don't like us is that they have such mighty poor judgment. When a lot of jealous women get their heads together the devil feels that he can afford to take the rest of the day off. The only thing the average man hates worse than a homely girl is a pretty man. Three dangerous questions are: "How fast will she go?" "Is it imported?" and "Will you marry me?" without impertinent interference, cooperation without entanglements, avoidances of promises which could not be filled, and the scrupulous fulfillment of engagements. Of foreign debts, he said in part: "The American government insists that these debts be formally recognized through the negotiation of funding arrangements. It believes that this will lead toward stability, since a nation, like a man, is far more willing to work effectively and honestly when the full extent of obligations is known and admitted and a possible method of payment has been devised. There are many who believe that a large measure of the blame for the chaotic economic conditions in Germany during the post-war years was due to the fact that Germany had no idea of the total bill which must be paid. When the Dawes plan made this clear, and also indicated a possible method of payment, conditions immediately improved. The funding of the British debts to America was one of the important steps in the British return to the gold standard." "The United States cannot become a party to the European security pact. Castle asserted, but it can study and criticise or applaud the plans of the nations of Europe to live in peace. As to loans by bankers, the government is willing that these should be made for constructive purposes, but not for building up armament. A loan to Russia is against public policy and likewise recognition of the soviet regime would not be considered." "The United States," he said, "does not pretend to dictate the form of government which any country should have, but it does not propose to recognize any government which repudiates its international obligations and interferes with the economic and political systems of other countries. If Russia were a democratic monarchy instead of the despotism which it is, we should not recognize its government if we had evidence that it was employing agents to stir up trouble in our own country. The claim of those who attempt to differentiate between the activities of the soviet government and the Third Internationale has been exploded."

The only thing the average man hates worse than a homely girl is a pretty man. Three dangerous questions are: "How fast will she go?" "Is it imported?" and "Will you marry me?" There were bad manners even in the old days, but they were not called a "dominating personality." Every man is the architect of his own fortune, and the world is full of bum architecture. When the driver in front holds out his hand, all you need is skill as a mind-reader. The saddest moment in life will be when the uplifters tie a can to the bathing beauty parade. It is about as hard for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a poor man to remain on earth. Among the aids to virtue are a pure heart, old age and Long Beach. Acheckered career is one of life's games in which there are many jumps. Every man should have enough religion to enable him to quarrel intelligently about it. Homes are being built with every known convenience except low rent. When a man feels well his health is likely to be better than his conduct. Home to the flapper is where she leaves most of her clothes and very little of her paint. Every man should have something to say for himself, but the best opportunities go to the bachelors. You can't very well say a man is holding his own when he puts his property in his wife's name. The average man doesn't think he has obtained justice unless he gets a little the better of the deal. Opportunity knocks but once. It's the man who misses it who goes on knocking. The man with push often has to take a back seat to the fellow with pull. A pessimist is a man who has been listening to a mechanic explain what his car needs. You can't tell by the way a man periment which any country should have, but it does not propose to recognize any government which repudiates its international obligations and interferes with the economic and political systems of other countries. If Russia were a democratic monarchy instead of the despotism which it is, we should not recognize its government if we had evidence that it was employing agents to stir up trouble in our own country. The claim of those who attempt to differentiate between the activities of the Soviet government and the Third Internationale has been exploded." Castle praised Secretary of State Kellogg as one who "is building for the future and striving for better international understanding." Science Gradually Overcoming Disease High scientific confirmation of the discovery of the specific virus of cancer turns the thoughtful mind to the laboratories where the restless workers for the relief of mankind from its manifoldills toll on by day and night, year after year, through experiment after experiment and failure after failure, to secure a rarely realized success. An experimental bacteriologist must be a man of great patience and ready to make endless sacrifices. Cloistered in his laboratory among his test tubes and flasks and gazing long through his microscope, he is as much an isolated being as the astronomer in his observatory, and he peers into worlds fully as mysterious, as illusive and baffling to mortal mind. Original research in the field of biology such as that of Jacques Loeb, whose artificial production of inferior animal life amazed the scientific world, or that of the patient workers who gave us salvarsan, adrenalin and the antitoxins, is of a nature which the average man of his headlong age, rushing so impatiently to results, but feebly appreciates, much less emulates. The successful bacteriologist must have acquired, after years of study, a thorough knowledge of the basic principles of biology and chemistry, he must keep abreast of contemporary investigations and their results and he must delve deeply among the roots of physical phenomena. A Koch, a Pasteur or a Loeb, while he may resemble the common run of men as he goes and comes among them, is a being apart and is marked for a life of sacrifice. The complete absorption required by his studies makes him "scorn delight and live laborious days," and in turn he is scorned by the mediocre mind as a "dry-as-dust" and a "mole-eyed highbrow." Yet in renouncing the world's joys he gains something far more acceptable to his ideal sense. For there is comfort in the thought that where he laid down his scalpel and notebook another may pick them up and carry on his experiments to a glorious conclusion. It is by the carrying on of the work of Dr. Peyton Rous in the observations of the sarcoma of fowls that Gye and Barnard, the British investigators, made Debt Policy Endorsed By Prominent Orators The foreign policy of the country came prominently before the Institute of Politics Wednesday with a state department representative its proponent and a prominent historian its commentator. William R. Castle, chief of the western European division of the state department, declared that the United States is determined upon the funding of all foreign war debts and is no "Shylock." Recognition of the Soviet government of Russia, Castle rejected on the ground that that government is linked with the Third Internationale and has carried on world-wide destructive propaganda. Prof. A. C. Coolidge of Harvard university followed Castle at an open conference on America's foreign policy. It was easy to understand European enmity toward America, he said, and there was much to excuse resentment at her new immigration policy, her "turning her back" on the League of Nations, and her exclusion of Japanese. The government's great problem, according to Castle, is to distinguish apparent and temporary interests from real-and permanent ones. Its policy is pledged to helpfulness toward Europe absorption required by his studies makes him "scorn delight and live laborious days," and in turn he is scorned by the mediocre mind as a "dry-as-dust" and a "mole-eyed highbrow." Yet in renouncing the world's joys he gains something far more acceptable to his ideal sense. For there is comfort in the thought that where he laid down his scalpel and notebook another may pick them up and carry on his experiments to a glorious conclusion. It is by the carrying on of the work of Dr. Peyton Rous in the observations of the sarcoma of fowls that Gye and Barnard, the British investigators, made their discovery as to the causative agent of cancer. It is sincerely to be hoped that the next step in these experiments will result in the discovery of means of immunizing human beings from cancer, the number of deaths from which has been alarmingly on the increase during the last decade. Claiming Damages For Defective Boat Details of an alleged "cruise of horror" were related in a complaint filed this week in federal court in Los Angeles by Frank Fisher, Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. secretary, against E. D. Burge of Santa Ana, in which Fisher asks $4011.30 damages, it was learned Thursday. Fisher, in his suit, charges that he entered into an agreement with Burge on April 15, 1923, to rent Burge's power boat. Maude F., for a trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. Between Santa Ana and San Diego the pumps failed and the engine stopped, with the result that the boat, with Fisher and his crew of Y. M. C. A. boys drifted about in the ocean until a passing boat towed the Maude F. into San Diego harbor. Burge, in commenting upon Fisher's suit, said it was similar to a suit filed in the Orange county superior court two years ago, in which Fisher and 14 of his boys asked $3794.05 damages. The case was thrown-out of court by Judge Frank Drumm, on motion of Charles Swanner, attorney for Burge. Burge said Fisher and the boys didn't know how to run a boat and that they had been responsible for the whole "cruise of horror" if there was one.

Ward, vice-president in charge of construction, today. Starting of the actual work on the Shaver Lake project begins another important era in the Southern California Edison Company's Big Creek-San Joaquin River project and an expenditure of about $37,000,000 on hydro-electric development during the years intervening between the present and 1930 is contemplated. This additional power with such new steam generation as is necessary for standby will, assuming that the demands of transportation, manufacturing, agriculture and domestic purposes remain as at present, provide for a population of 4,500,000 in the 10 counties of Southern and Central California, now electrically served by the Southern California Edison Company, as against the present population of approximately 2,250,000. The completion of the 13½ mile Florence Lake tunnel under the Kalser mountains in the high Sierras of northeastern Fresno county in February, making possible the diversion of the upper waters of the San Joaquin river into Huntington lake, which has been filled and overflowing on its three retaining dams during July and August, brought to a successful finish one of the most extensive and difficult achievements in the undertaking. Now the new activities, which will require an expenditure of something over $10,000,-000 a year for hydro-electric generation, will soon be under way. The work previously authorized and now in progress will add $5,000,000 to the above river for the No. 3 power house on that stream near Kernville, the Music mountain tunnel which connects Shaver lake with the San Joaquin river gorge, and the six-mile diversion tunnel which carries the waters of the San Joaquin river on a level with the dam constructed to impound the waters of the San Joaquin river gorge for the No. 4 power house. The work, which has just been authorized and will be completed in about four years, will give the Southern California Edison Company a continuous supply of hydro-electric energy which will be assured from three reservoirs having an aggregate capacity of 288,000 acre feet. In addition to this hydro-electric resource, the company now has 240,000 horsepower of steam generating capacity which will probably be increased proportionately as the new hydro-electric horsepower is developed. The total expenditure for water power construction, reservoirs, power houses, transmission lines to local centers, with the completion of the project which has just been authorized, will bring the investment of the Southern California Edison Company in its hydro-program at Big Creek up to $123,000,000. In addition to the expenditure of approximately $42,000,000 during the next several years for water power development, the company will spend large sums for addition to its distribution system in order to take care of the rapidly increasing number of new consumers. All of these expenditures are provided for in the annual budgets which include hydro-electric construction on the San Joaquin-Big Creek project, distribution, and additional steam generation capacity as the necessities may require. All of these estimates are worked out on carefully charted growth curves of population and business in the 31 service distribution districts of the Southern California Edison Company which are located in the principal business centers of Los Angeles county and the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern, Tulare, Kings and Fresno, and to a certain extent upon San Diego county, where the company disposes a large quantity of power at wholesale. "We feel absolutely certain that in the course of time an additional popu- eastern Fresno county in February, making possible the diversion of the upper waters of the San Joaquin river into Huntington lake, which has been filled and overflowing on its three retaining dams during July and August, brought to a successful finish one of the most extensive and difficult achievements in the undertaking. Now the new activities, which will require an expenditure of something over $10,000,000 a year for hydro-electric generation, will soon be under way. The work previously authorized and now in progress will add $5,000,000 to the above $37,000,000 and to the large sum previously spent in this vicinity for the development of hydro-electric power. The authorization for this program of expenditures includes the diversion of additional waters from Mono and Bear creek through the Florence Lake tunnel, the construction of the tunnel from Huntington lake to Shaver lake, and the construction of a dam at Shaver lake which will impound 139,000 acre feet of water and provide an additional generating capacity of 180,00 horsepower. The Shaver lake conduit, which may be commenced as early as November, will tap Huntington lake at the upper end of the second dam and by tunnel and conduit will connect the waters of Huntington lake and Shaver lake. The tunnel proportions will be 12 feet in diameter, with a capacity of 1250 second feet. Its route will be from the big intermediate dam across Big creek with a ½-foot steel pipe, with a tunnel to Pitman creek, which will also be crossed with a 9½-foot steel pipe, then by a 13-foot tunnel through the mountains to Shaver lake, total length about five and one-third miles. The retaining dam at Shaver lake will be below the present lake and will be 250 feet thick at its base, with a height of approximately 190 feet. With the completion of the Huntington-Shaver lake tunnel the Southern California Edison Company will have completed approximately 50 miles of tunnel since it resumed active construction operations following the war. These include the tunnel constructed for diverting the waters of the Kern A STAGGERING TOLL Eleven years ago, or on July 29, 1914, the shot was fired which resulted in the World war. Within the last few days the League of Nations has finished the compilation of the material losses of the war, the compilation being made from official figures furnished by all the nations participating. Here is the dreadful total: 9,998,771 known dead. 2,991,800 presumed dead. 6,295,512 seriously wounded. 14,002,039 otherwise wounded. $186,333,637,097 direct cost of the war. $29,260,000,000 property loss of war. $33,551,276,280 capitalized value of loss of life. In assessing the latter, the league figures the value of a human life for war purposes at $4720 for Americans,$4140 for British and $2900 for French. CAUSES SUMMER MADNESS!

Lenz, and his wife arrived here from Denver, Colo., and made an offer to the man that they would pay him $4000 in cash for his land, which was later sold for $6500, and care for him the rest of his life. Lenz agreed and the ded was made at the Guaranty Title office, but no money was passed. Later, Mozley states, Joseph Lenz and his wife gave the father a severe beating and he was so badly hurt that he was taken to the Orange County hospital. Mr. Mozley and Mr. Nelson were then employed to institute suit for the recovery of the Costa Mesa property, which was accomplished and, as the man was very feeble, they had C. D. Brown appointed as his guardian in order that he might not be again preyed upon. His money was placed in the bank and Brown paid over to the owner the amounts asked for at various times. Mozley says that if Lenz decides to stay in Germany, the administration of his property will be turned over to some one there.
