CORNER PHILOSOPHY A soft answer turneth away wrath, but sometimes it cometh hard. It is foolish to buy experience without first investigating the cost. Most of us would be rich if we could profit by our own mistakes. A man's opinions depend largely on which set of statistics he sees. Ignorance of the law is no excuse—except for lawyers and judges. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make speed demons. The cynic is all right in his place, but he never goes there until he dies. Lots of people who are not acrobats should learn to take a tumble to themselves. Nothing less than love could make a girl give up a good job for one that pays nothing. There is nothing that makes some people so tired as to watch a busy man at work. You never see a statute erected to a man who was afraid of what people might say. Married folks usually get along all right if only one is selfish and spoiled. "Rain that begins at night seldom lasts long." Same way with good resolutions. Being an old maid isn't so bad if one has imagination enough to remember lots of good chances. About the only American institution nobody ever criticises is the dotted line. Marching toward the coveted goal—education. Here is a word to parents and to patrons of schools: The public school system is something that should be near and dear to your hearts, at all times. These schools are not far removed from you—not an institution apart from your lives and calling for more transitory interest on your part. These schools are your very own. You pay taxes to acquire lands on which to build schools; you pay for the construction and equipment of school buildings; you pay salaries of teachers. You foot the bills. You have a deed to the schools, as it were—and no one has any mortgage or lien against them. They are your property. They were instituted by and for you and are maintained by and for you. So please be impressed with your proprietary interest in the schools. Be aware that they are yours, doing your work. And show that profound interest which an institution representing such huge outlay to establish and to keep going deserves. And measure your interest, too, by the stupendous importance of the functioning and the mission of the public schools—the universities of the people, the torch of knowledge held out to the humblest family in the land. Parents and patrons miss opportunities for doing good service to the community when they neglect to interest themselves directly in the schools. Through parent-teacher associations, and through civic activities of various forms, citizens may and should manifest deep interest in the schools and give the power of their interest and influence to promote efficiency in school work. GASOLINE WASTE A fair sample of the wastefulness of daily life is given in our use of gasoline. We make a great fuss when it is proposed to add only a single cent to the gasoline tax, every dollar of which is to be expended upon making better roads. Improved highways mean less cost of travel in both fuel and wear on tires and machines, and a small gasoline tax for that purpose is an investment, instead of an expense. But we are always frightened by the word "tax". Married folks usually get along all right if only one is selfish and spoiled. "Rain that begins at night seldom lasts long." Same way with good resolutions. Being an old maid isn't so bad if one has imagination enough to remember lots of good chances. About the only American institution nobody ever criticises is the dotted line. There will be less speed on the highway when there is more in the courts. Aspiring to things above you is all right, but it isn't an easy way to get married. The long green is the best cure for the blues. Night is when the moon and the stars and the teeth of the law comes out. Heaven bless mother-in-law! There shoul dbe somebody in the bride's family able to cook. When a woman marries a man to reform him and succeeds, she feels that she has no more worlds to conquer. Too great a command of language sometimes lessens a woman's matrimonial chances. The difference between law and custom is that it takes a lot of nerve to violate a custom. When a fellow has more money than brains, he often blows in the former and blows out the latter. Conscience makes more bluffers than cowards. Nowadays it seems to be dollars rather than sense that interests the world. Middle age for a woman is that period when she thinks the right corset might give her a girlish figure. It is natural to respect gray hairs, especially if we happen to be bald-headed ourselves. We are weak mortals and though the head condemns the saxophone, the feet are secretly intrigued. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to know that your wife has taken out the car for her first drive. Many a man who is sure he is right doesn't go ahead because his wife is sure he is wrong. One good thing about bobs is that there are not so many tires being punctured by hairpins. GASOLINE WASTE A fair sample of the wastefulness of daily life is given in our use of gasoline. We make a great fuss when it is proposed to add only a single cent to the gasoline tax, every dollar of which is to be expended upon making better roads. Improved highways mean less cost of travel in both fuel and wear on tires and machines, and a small gasoline tax for that purpose is an investment, instead of an expense. But we are always frightened by the word "tax" and instinctively oppose it. Professor Alexander Sullivan, head of the chemical department of the University of Pittsburgh, says that drivers of automobiles and trucks in the United States waste 385,270,200 gallons of gas each year in the mere careless and wasteful habit of letting their engines run while their machines are standing still. That is $770,000,000 a year at five gallons to the dollar. Such a huge sum as that would build many miles of the finest highway. It does seem the acme of absurdity to object to paying a cent a gallon for gas to build highways with, and then to burn up that cent in useless expenditure of gas while the machine is idling. However, this is not only an example of the illogical working of the human mind, but of our general wastefulness all along the line. It is often said that Europe could live well on the contents of American garbage cans, so much good food do we throw away. The masses of Europe could be well clothed with the shoes and clothing like masses in this country discard. We have a high standard of living in this country. We set a fast pace and all strive to keep in the running. It costs money, much more than it need to cost if we were governed by sound principles of economy and prevention of wastefulness, both in private and public life. NO REAL SLOWDOWN The "summer dullness" did not make the inroads that was expected in some quarters, says Southern California Business, the official magazine of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Business conditions, like physicaliments, are to a certain extent the expression of a state of mind. It is not meant by this that one who is a physical wreck or a business wreck can really think he is not and, by that process of thinking, be out of it. But he can think of business depression until he neglects his own business to the extent of injury. There are two factors that have had much to do with preventing a real business depression resulting from a bad state of mind. Those two are live Chambers of Commerce and wide-awake newspapers. Day in and day out editors have failed to swallow the dose of business "slow-down" predicted and even prescribed by some business men. They have gone ahead pointing out week after week the progress of their communities, the pos- Demands For T D.

Many a man who is sure he is right doesn't go ahead because his wife is sure he is wrong. One good thing about bobs is that there are not so many tires being punctured by hairpins. A goat is a lamb who has kidded himself into thinking he can buck Wall Street. It seems that the hard part about enforcing prohibition is to make people stop looking for a drink. Another mild tragedy is when pants is pants and vest is vest and never the twain meet. SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN Schools reopening. More than twenty million boys and girls in the United States back to books again. They go blithely, willingly, eagerly, for the most part. There is little reluctance. There are comparatively few who must be compelled to attend school. It is an army of volunteers, in the main, not a drafted army. They go because there is something in the very atmosphere, here in America, that superinduces quest of learning, on the part of the young. Intelligence is so general and so thorough that it seems to be a tangible living thing. Inspiring—yes, indeed, it is inspiring to see the little treasures of the homes—bright-faced boys and girls—tripping to and from school and to hear their merry peals on the playgrounds. It carries elders back to the days—the joyous, care-free days—when they, too, were in school, in the places that are now taken by a new generation. And so the ranks of school children are filled and re-filled, year after year. As boys and girls advance to high school and to graduation therefrom, there are undergraduates right at their heels. Thus an endless procession is really think he is not and, by that process of thinking, be out of it. But he can think of business depression until he neglects his own business to the extent of injury. There are two factors that have had much to do with preventing a real business depression resulting from a bad state of mind. Those two are live Chambers of Commerce and wide-awake newspapers. Day in and day out editors have failed to swallow the dose of business "slow-down" predicted and even prescribed by some business men. They have gone ahead pointing out week after week the progress of their communities, the possibilities of greater advancement, and have preached the gospel of optimism. This has had a stimulating effect. Working with the newspapers are the live secretaries of progressive Chambers of Commerce. Secretaries have put in days of perspiration during the heated season to help hold things together. The result is the "slow-down," where it did occur, was later in arriving, was not so insistent during its stay and took its early departure. So far as Southern California and the Southwest are concerned, business is on about the same keel that it usually is in October or November. Of course, everyone took a vacation and that's about the only slowing down there was. ILLINOIS PICNIC Over 300,000 "Suckers" of the famous Illinois brand are on watch for this call which goes out to all from the old Prairie State to rally for the picnic reunion under the old trees in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles, all day long, Saturday, October 24, 1925. The registers will be posted at each county headquarters, hot coffee provided for all. Silk souvenir badges, basket dinners and jolly sociability will make everyone happy. Henry J. Bruaker will preside over the popular program and will lead the community singing. Every "Sucker" is urged to attend himself and invite others. Ask your questions of C. H.

WHOM WILLY CAL ROOT FOR WHOM WE ASK — AUTO CASTOR Demands Cow Test For Tuberculosis D. Eyman Huff Wants Federal and State Examinations Declaring that if he were in position to do so, he never would cease work until Orange county had been placed in the list of "modified accredited areas," which means supervision by the state and federal governments of testing of milk cows for tuberculosis. D. Eyman Huff, manager of the Hewes corporation at El Modena, directed attention to the fact that Tehama county is the latest county in the state to request the California department of agriculture to extend to that county the benefits of the tuberculosis free area law. Treating on this subject, the Pacific Dairy Review says: "Various methods have been devised in different parts of the country looking toward the eradication of tuberculosis in cattle, but success in California was somewhat limited until the enactment of the free area law in 1921. Since that time, Modoc and Lassen counties have been declared modified accredited areas by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, which is an official declaration that not more than one-half of one per cent of the cattle in either of these areas is affected with tuberculosis. "The free area law is the most far-reaching measure provided for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis. By its terms any county having not more than 10 per cent of its cattle affected may obtain assistance from the state and federal departments of agriculture in stamping out this disease, and through this aid maintain freedom therefrom. "This protection is afforded by: "(a) Preventing the introduction of diseased cattle into an eradication or modified accredited area. "(b) Discovery of infected foci. "(c) Removal from the area and slaughter of tuberculosis animals. "(d) Disinfection of contaminated premises." "(e) Supervision of the health of animals after all sources of infection within the area have been eliminated." and federal departments of agriculture in stamping out this disease, and through this aid maintain freedom therefrom. "This protection is afforded by: "(a) Preventing the introduction of diseased cattle into an eradication or modified accredited area. "(b) Discovery of infected foci. "(c) Removal from the area and slaughter of tuberculosis animals. "(d) Disinfection of contaminated premises. "(e) Supervision of the health of animals after all sources of infection within the area have been eliminated. "Available data concerning the extent of tuberculosis in Tehama county indicates that the survey to be undertaken will not reveal more than 10 per cent of the cattle to be affected with the disease. With this information definitely determined, as required in a provision of the law, eradication measures will continue active until Tehama county enjoys the distinction of being officially declared a modified accredited area and cattle owners therein will be extended the privilege of transporting their cattle to any part of the United States without the inconvenience of having them tuberculin tested. There is a growing demand for healthy cattle to replenish depleted herds in various parts of the country where tuberculosis eradication laws prohibit the entrance of diseased animals. Tehama county owners will be fortunate in having their cattle free from tuberculosis at a time when the market for the sale of healthy animals continues promising." Some political writers are pointing out that there are breakers ahead for President Coolidge in the next few months. Conditions cited as likely to cause trouble are the anthracite coal strike, the proposed investigation of the aerial service and disagreements which may arise with congress over taxation and other issues and federal appointments. President Coolidge has one big asset, however, and that is the confidence and eagerness with which he is regarded by the country at large. Any ambitious statesmen who oppose him purely for political purposes will have ample opportunity for sensing this sentiment. 161 West Center St. OUR STORY IN A NUTSHELL We ask you to come in and let us demonstrate.
