CORNER PHILOSOPHY It's been my observation that the wicked folks are those who do openly the things that good folks do secretly. Talk may be cheap, as is sometimes said—but not when you're sassing a traffic cop. Men who fall in love with their stenographers find out after marriage that they can't dictate to them. Just about the time an ambitious man reaches the pinnacle of fame, he wakes up. An Anaheim bachelor says that one can never tell what a day may bring forth. A man may be happy today and married tomorrow. Sign on road near a bathing beach: "Warning—Dangerous Curves Ahead." The trouble with most married men is that they are just men and not angels. Modern flappers may only be frail crafts on the sea of life, but I've noticed the older they get the craftier they get. An Orange county stock promoter is said to be so crooked he has to unscrew his socks. Little children no longer hang to mother's skirts. They can't reach 'em. Time is money, and the way you spend it is what counts. When a girl is known as a wallflower, she is naturally up against it. Many a thief goes to prison because he neglects to steal enough to fee a sharp lawyer. Select your sweetheart at the party, but pick out your wife on wash day. All the important elements of an en Harding Memorial On Canadian Soil Kiwanians Erect Monument in Stanley Park, Vancouver The President Harding international good will memorial was dedicated in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B. C., yesterday. The memorial was erected by Kiwanis International through voluntary subscriptions of its 95,000 members in the United States and Canada. The local clubs contributed their quotas toward the building of the monument. The purpose of the memorial is set forth by International President Moss as follows: "The monument is the only material symbol of fortification, outside of mileposts, to outline the invisible demarcation of the thousands of miles of border line which spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific and separate both countries. "What the world is hoping for, the United States and Canada have achieved; the conception of peace written in the minds and hearts of the citizens of both nations. It was with this understanding that the late President Harding, a Kiwanian himself, pledged to the ideals of Kiwanis, gave to the world that tribute of friendship which is now hoped to be succor to a world in the travail of a war's aftermath. "The idea of the erection by Kiwanis International of a Harding memorial was first given prominence by the fact that as president of the United States and a member of the international organization, Mr. Harding had been greatly respected by both Canadians and Americans. Also it was the only time that a president had visited Canada during his term of office. When the proposal to erect a memorial was brought to the thousands of Kiwanis delegates at the Denver annual convention in 1924, it was met with instant and unanimous approval. Directly, then, followed the approval of the international board of trustees and also the international council, meeting in Chicago, in December, 1924. Members of the Harding memorial committee, appointed in July, 1924, were John H. Moss, Milwaukee, Wis., now president of Kiwanis International; Victor M.

The trouble seems to be that a man's soul mate isn't his sole mate. The straight and narrow path is plenty wide for its traffic. Many a man has been convicted of forgery because he took Solomon's advice and chose a good name for himself. An Anaheim young man who was fired with love says he thinks it was the girl's father who acted as fireman. Lots of men talk mighty big about settling the affairs of nations, when they don't even settle with the btucher and baker. OIL OUTLOOK REASSURING Commenting on our future supply of oil, the Standard Oil Bulletin, published by the Standard Oil Company of California, says: "Predictions of failure of the American supply of oil have been made almost from the beginning of the oil industry. All have proved fallacious. When the production of old fields has dropped off, the oil industry has found new fields." A committee of 11 members of the board of directors of the American Petroleum Institute has just issued a report on the future of the industry. The report draws particular attention to two impending developments, of very great importance. One is the extension within the industry of "cracking" crude oil, a process which increases the yield of the all-important gasoline. The other is a change in motor construction which, roughly speaking, will double the mileage of the automobile per gallon of gasoline. Herein is true conservation. Altogether, the findings of the committee are reassuring. There may be passing periods of shortage of petroleum, but there is no danger in the situation. When the proposal to erect a memorial was brought to the thousands of Kiwanis delegates at the Denver annual convention in 1924, it was met with instant and unanimous approval. Directly then, followed the approval of the international board of trustees and also the international council, meeting in Chicago, in December, 1924. Members of the Harding memorial committee, appointed in July, 1924, were John H. Moss, Milwaukee, Wis., now president of Kiwanis International; Victor M. Johnson, Rockford, Ill., now immediate past president of the organization; Edmund F. Arras, Columbus, Ohio, past president, and Douglas J. Scott, Winnipeg, Canada, international trustee. "Consideration of a site demanded careful thought and mature deliberation. There were three suggestions: First, the nation's capital; second, Harding's birthplace, Marion, Ohio, and third, Stanley Park. But the bond of harmonious friendship settled the question in favor of Vancouver, for it was there that as President of the United States, Mr. Harding had spoken in favor of the possession of an increased understanding between the two countries.

To Make Children 100 Pct. in Health Orange County Parent Teachers Active in the Work Assurances of support of the nationwide campaign launched by the United States Bureau of Education to send children 100 per cent perfect in health to the schools this month by correcting their defects before they enter school, were voiced today by Mrs. J. Edmund Snow, president of the Fourth (Orange county) Parent-Teacher Association district. The campaign launched by the national bureau of education is in line with a similar movement set on foot some time ago by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, emphasizing the need and economic value of pre-school work among children, Mrs. Snow declared. Here are some reasons which prompted the Parent-Teacher Association bodies and the national bureau of education to take cognizance of the situation: "The large number of primary grade children who must repeat their grades each year in order to obtain satisfactory ratings." "That repeating discourages the child and retards the work of other children." "That each repeater costs the school district from $72.50 to $80 a year, a loss of money which should be saved the taxpayers, or put to a more effective and advantageous use." "This waste of money can be saved through the co-operative efforts of parents, school executives and health officers by correcting the defects of children before they enter school." The attitude of the national body of Parent-Teacher Association organizations on this subject is stated in the following letter received by Mrs. Snow from Mrs. Margaretta Willis Reeve, national president, Ambler, Pa. "The co-operation of the United States Bureau of Education in the campaign to send the school in the first grade, in September, 1925, children who are 100 per cent free from remedial de- Work Gold Mines In San Francisco Abandoned Diggings in Residential District Reopened The backyard gold mine, a convenient arrangement whereby the mortgage on the bungalow may be paid off by a little prowling around the flower garden with pick and shovel, is San Francisco's latest. H. A. Morse, geologist, will begin mining operations on a major scale in an exclusive residential district in the immediate future, he announced, following discovery and satisfactory assay of an abandoned mine on Mount Davidson. Moore has optioned the property for a quarter of a million dollars. Meanwhile, San Franciscoans living in the neighborhood are busy enlarging basements, digging beneath back porches and even studying the possibilities of a little garden hose placer mining. Search of the title of the Mount Davidson property developed, the fact that it was staked out and worked as a paying min by three prospectors in the early 80's. The prospectors, Jimmy McDermott, Howard Tomlinson and Joe Shaw, stamped away, however, to the Dutch Flat hydraulic diggings. Morse, who had charge of a mining property in Mexico, discovered the old McDermott shafts and assayed the tailings. The initial analysis showed $11 to the ton, he said, and subsequent assays are claimed to have increased that figure. Interested, Morse entered the shafts himself and after reopening numerous caveins found enough unmined ore in sight to warrant his optioning the tract. Incorporation articles are being prepared for Morse and his associates, preliminary to beginning mining operations on a large scale. It was announced. Meanwhile, individual "bootleg" miners are turning lawns upside down in the surrounding residential territory, bending inconvenient gas and water pipes, and apparently preparing to blast blockading sewers if "color" shows. "It may be a real estate promotion stunt," they argue, "or maybe we'll be offered some nice gold stock." The attitude of the national body of Parent-Teacher Association organizations on this subject is stated in the following letter received by Mrs. Snow from Mrs. Margaretta Willis Reeve, national president, Ambler, Pa. "The co-operation of the United States bureau of education in the campaign to send the school in the first grade, in September, 1925, children who are 100 per cent free from remedial defects has added great strength to the movement. "This campaign is not intended as a substitute for the health activities in operation in many communities, but rather as an auxiliary to them. Hitherto, the task of securing physical perfection in the scholars has been left largely to the schools and to the health authorities. "The 900,000 organized parents and teachers of the United States now propose to see that the home assumes its rightful responsibility, and send to the school pupils ready to be taught, instead of bundles of parental mistakes to be corrected. If the parents make use of the vacation months as a preparation period, the school term will not be interrupted by absences for repairs." "It is not proposed that parent-teacher associations conduct health clinics or assume any medical responsibility. The campaign is intended primarily to secure the action of parents to correct those defects which, when neglected, cause absence from school or inefficient class work, such as faulty conditions of eyes, ears, nose, throat, posture and nutrition, and next, to obtain the assistance of these aroused parents to spreading throughout their school districts a knowledge of the campaign and a general co-operation in carrying it on." At any rate, the observance last year was unsatisfactory to a great many thoughtful people. It caused them to stop and think, however, and that was a great benefit. We ought to learn at least one thing from the experience, and that is that the best interests of the children of America cannot be furthered without some real thought and some real sacrifice of time and effort on the part of their elders. Easy condescension has no place in formulating a program like that of Education Week. With the expected approval of the federal commissioner of education, the program this year will begin with a day devoted to study of the American traditions of freedom; and on successive days subjects like progress in the arts of peace, American civil institutions, political liberty and social justice will be studied and discussed. Every one of these subjects is profoundly linked with real patriotism, and each has considerably meaning than the usual hurrah for our ancestors and the usual vaguely complimentary remarks on the greatness of America. Education Week certainly should give some emphasis to the "why" and the "how" of American patriotism—should teach not only that our country is great, but why it is great and how its greatness can be maintained and furthered. We have national traditions which are in every respect worthy and inspiring; and their qualities cannot be made plain to young America by any easy or slipshod celebrating. There must be thought, study, enthusiasm and reverence behind any effort to give our boys and girls an understanding of what their forefathers labored to accomplish in the building of America. The best critics of American Education Week, when all is said and done, will be the youngsters in our American public schools. By and large, they are not easily deceived. If they could only be induced to comment frankly on this national observance, adult America might learn a lesson as valuable and as far-reaching as any that the schools can teach their children. In his latest escapade in the baseball world, Babe Ruth seems to have fanned out with the bases full. Incorporation articles are being prepared for Morse and his associates, preliminary to beginning mining operations on a large scale, it was announced. Meanwhile, individual "bootleg" miners are turning lawns upside down in the surrounding residential territory, bending inconvenient gas and water pipes, and apparently preparing to blast blockading sewers if "color" shows. "It may be a real estate promotion stunt," they argue, "or maybe we'll be offered some nice gold mine stock. But then, again, we might strike oil, so it's fifty-fifty and worth while trying." Cuttle Will Support the County Harbor Again pledging his help to Orange county harbor, Hon. Francis Cuttle of Riverside has notified the harbor Chamber of Commerce that he will visit Washington in the near future and can be called upon to carry out any mission which may help along the good cause. Mr. Cuttle was a member of the party with Hon. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, Major Leeds of Los Angeles, George Peabody, Harry Welch and others of Orange county, which went to Washington to call on the board of army engineers and secured a reopening of the report on Newport bay. With the investigation made by General Lansing H. Beach now complete and the roptir approved by the Orange County Harbor Commission, the project only awaits the expression of the people before it can be again advanced to its proper place at Washington. Every authority that has investigated or studied the situation at Newport bay has agreed that it has singular merit and can be developed into Orange county's biggest asset at a moderate expense. Mr. Cuttle will be asked to interview the proper officials during his visit to the national capital to pay the way for early action on the report as soon as the board of supervisors has agreed on the date for the harbor bond election. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS An ordinance regulating the testing, sale and delivery of petroleum and petroleum products in the county of Orange, outside of the territory of incorporated cities, and providing penalties for the violation of this ordinance, was adopted by the board. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $250,000 out of the advertising fund in favor of the Boulder Dam Association, to be used for advertising Orange county. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $500,000 out of the advertising fund in favor of C. V. Johnson, secretary of the Orange Chamber of Commerce, to be used for advertising Orange count at the Diamond Jubilee celebration. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $98.87 on the general fund, in payment for refund of delinquent taxes paid by the Mabury Ranch Company. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to L. J. Cleveland, C. C. Brown and J. A. Hardlin. The application of Dudley B. Fowler for dance license was ordered denied, on recommendation of the district attorney and the sheriff. Deed for right of way from V. G. Yorba, et al., in the Fourth road district, was accepted and declared a public highway. It was ordered that the deed from the Irvine Company to the County of Orange, dated August 4, 1925, be accepted and placed on record. A resolution fixing the tax levy for the year 1925-26 was duly adopted. It was ordered by the board of supervisors that the harbor bond election be called for April 7, 1925. Automobile thefts number on the average of 25 cars a day in Los Angeles, and car thievery is increasing at the rate of 20 per cent in other surrounding cities, according to records of the theft bureau of the club.
