OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR COMING TO CALIFORNIA "The attractions of the Old World pall as compared with the glories of California," says a globe trotter. "European trips are splendid and worth while from an educational point of view, but more and more there comes the realization of what California means to our continent." It is said the Southland always has drawn people from the Middle West, but now the greatest number of tourists come from the Atlantic seaboard, and the results are important. MAYBE CAUSED BY SUNSPOT A LOCAL linguist, who is a likable sort of chap, says the word "hootch" is of Indian origin. He relates that when the aboriginies were suffering from the presence of vermin, a medicine man would go among the victims and ask: "Who itch?" A liquid applied externally would eradicate the pest. Then, the legend runs, the concoction was taken internally in extreme cases. Finally the paleface got onto the remedy. The bootleg now curbstoned hereabout is said to be a full cousin of the Indian preparation, and thus is aptly named "hootch." Slow music and the flowers. CUTTING OUT THE DEADWOOD A MAN born and raised in the old country says he knows of a province in a southern republic where they have a novel method of finding out when a man has outlived his usefulness. After he passes 60 years, the man climbs a tall tree and three or four huskies commence shaking the tree vigorously. If the man hangs on, he is allowed to live another year. Should he lose his grip and fall, he is given his choice of going into the next world—anything from starving to being cast to the alligators in the lagoon. Those who cling tight are said to be believers in evolution. RELIEVING THE EYE STRAIN DOWN in Texas, it is radioed that the average feminine knee is not a thing of beauty, and consequently the girls down there are going to cover up that part of their anatomy. It was unanimously voted by a bevy of co-eds that no dignified college girl should indulge in garments so brief as to expose the knee. Mothers are going to lengthen the skirts they originally shortened RELIEVING THE EYE STRAIN DOWN in Texas, it is radioed that the average feminine knee is not a thing of beauty, and consequently the girls down there are going to cover up that part of their anatomy. It was unanimously voted by a bevy of co-eds that no dignified college girl should indulge in garments so brief as to expose the knee. Mothers are going to lengthen the skirts they originally shortened on the daughters' plea that all the girls were wearing them that way. One fair maiden says she never wore short skirts, and she also says not one boy has ever paid her the slightest attention. Now all the skirts are coming down. THE ROAD PIRATES BANDITS are no respecters of persons and are not particular about what they take. The latest stunt is to stop you on the highway and annex your car in very informal manner. If you are without your roller skates, it's a long walk back. Nowadays, it's a good car that will take you there and bring you back. Might be a good idea to know when to step on it for a clean getaway, but again, you might have to wear a coat of armor to ward off the bandit's bullets. It's getting to be a great game, to say the least. THE WAGES OF SIN ARE DEATH A YOUNG man who killed an officer when resisting arrest was hanged the other day—paying the extreme penalty. He sought a reprieve, saying he did not "intent" to shoot the officer, but his plea went unheeded. This ought to be a warning to all wrongdoers. NOW WE KNOW WHY CABBAGE IS UP TOBACCO salesmen held a convention in an eastern city the other day, when a delegate made the statement that a popular nickel brand of cigar increased its sale during the past year by 50,000,000. HE SAID IT MAN, who is classed as a reformed pickpocket, says that the present crime wave is due principally through the carelessness of the public. People handle money and valuable too carelessly, and the crook's path therefore is made much easier. IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE CAREFUL PRETTY graduate, taking a post-graduate course in social work, says: "If you are a girl, you can have your cigarette without affecting your religion." The young dear also says "morals" is a much misunderstood term. She allows she can see nothing wrong in co-eds smoking, but she sees a great deal wrong in their petting. Frankly, she believes the urge to pet is just as strong in women as it is in men, but the student thinks the impulse should be restrained. "When a man asks me to pet," she declares, "I just tell him, frankly, I like to pet just as well as you do, but we both know it's wrong, so let's don't." All right, Mabel, solong—see you later. KEEPING UP THE PLACE SAYS the city dweller to the suburbanite: "Oh, yes, we have without affecting your religion." The young dear also says "morals" is a much misunderstood term.

FILLED THE BALD-HEADED ROW SOME space-writers tell of a woman who, sad to relate, is down and almost out, who once shone brightly on the vaudeville stage. The reason this entertainer scintillated was because she "had the prettiest legs" ever, but they say nothing about the shape of her head. MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE HARD VARIETY IT IS said California apple growers can find a ready market in Germany. A traveller says he has never seen a nation recover from an economic and financial depression as has Germany. People who formerly bought cheap goods now demand the best. They want the pretty red-cheeked variety of apples from the Pacific coast. Before the war, Germany bought 400,000 boxes annually. Last year they purchased 600,000. Hamburg is the most important market. It is a free port and shippers, it is said, are given free warehousing for three weeks. THE TWO ORPHANS BACK in New Jersey, it is reported, a "secret" told by a six-year-old child to her father for a bribe of a few pieces of candy was the cause of the killing of her mother, and the father is under arrest for murder. When the father came home he found his two children, aged 2 and 6 years, alone in the house. The little six-year-old tot told her daddy a strange man had been coming each afternoon to see her mother. An angry quarrel resulted, and the husband shot and killed his wife. LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE Sign on an old Ford: "Post No Bills." Poems By T. J. McGEOY SUNSET AT SEA I see in the skyline at sunset, Shades of most every hue— Some are of crimson and purple, Some are of gold and blue. A castle here, a fountain there; Yon is a deer in flight. A shaggy crag, an upright bluff— All is a wonderful sight. It gives me a peace and contentment. Amid this life and the whirl; It gives me a feeling for beauty. And that all is right with the world. That God reigns high in the heavens. That all is according to plan; That life is a glorious wonder— The sky, the sea, and the land. All things will be turned in the future. By some invisible hand. To the service of the universe And the glorification of man. WOMEN OF TODAY Women play a funny part, In this, our life sublime. From Cleopatra on the Nile, Right down to the present time. You read about the famous one. From histories, poorly written, About the ones that loved and lost, And how their hearts were smitten. It seems that the treacherous love Was found before the end; That virtue was it's own reward; And there was punishment for sin. But let us skip these days gone by. And come to the present time; It seems that all the girls I know, Just get away with crime. When you take one on a party, And your last month's pay she spends, She makes you think it’s sportsmanship When she kisses all your friends. "Don't be a quaint old-fashioned boy— Come on, sweet sugar papa; Kiss your mama, hug her tight, Love your little flapper." I 'spose that it would be all right, If she always went with you; But by the end of every month, She can name you quite a few. But still I think she's shooting, On the square with you and me; 'Cause you know just how she's acting, When she's on a gay party. The devil of it all, it seems, Is 'cause you can't get mad; As soon as you check out your place, She's got another lad. You just can't sit at home and read, And wile your youth away; So I 'spose we'll reconcile ourselves, To the WOMEN OF TODAY. The seed of some vegetables may be may be grouped into three lots. Beans, kept for several seasons without serious loss of vitality. The common vegetables corn, onions, parsley, parsnips, peas, and salisify retain their vitality for the shortest period and should be used with caution after one year old. Beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, kale, kohl-rabi, lettuce, peppers, radishes, spinach, tomatoes, and turnips are good for as much as three years or even longer, but here again older seeds should be used only after a germination test. A few others, chiefly melons, cucumbers and eggplants, retain their vitality for long periods, sometimes as much as seven or more years, but the same caution should be observed in using these.
