DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS How much to be prized and esteemed is a friend. On whom we can always with safety depend! Our joys, when extended, will always increase. And griefs, when divided, are hushed into peace. —Mrs. Margaret Smith. BENEFACTOR OF RACE IS AT WORK AT 72 While the guns of conflict again were beginning to roar in Europe, Luther Burbank, plant wizard, apostle of peace and promoter of useful production, was observing quietly the seventy-second anniversary of his birth. In his famed experimental garden, up at Santa Rosa, he carried on the scientific experiments that have been epochal in horticultural development. Overseas, the mad passions of men were raging in intermittent battling. May God hasten the day—and may America join other nations in speeding its coming, so far as human hands, minds and hearts may—when universal conditions shall be such that the Luther Burbanks, rather than the Marshal Fochs, will be required in the world's economy—when the great guns of war shall be spiked; when the ways of peace with justice shall prevail throughout the earth; when men shall answer to the sway of reason, rather than to the rule of the sword; when useful production of foodstuffs and other essentials of comfort for mankind shall be encouraged and thrive all over the world; when more attention shall be given to such experimentation as Luther Burbank is engaged in, than shall be given to deadly weaponry and processes of warefare. The world should be ripe for a sweeping evolution in applied peaceful idealism. The World War should bear good fruit in swinging mankind far away from possibility of resurrection of its horrors. The plant wizard should be greater than the military commander. ECONOMIC NEEDS OF THE BATTERED WORLD While there has been vast improvement in economic conditions in the United States and in some other countries since the Armistice, yet the normal has not been attained. Two or three conditions, persisting in Europe especially, are return of normality the shadow of war Europe. The latest the Rhine, with its ties; the civil strife threat of soviet aggression and other adjuncts; the civil strife orderly expansion of nations. The world before the mighty titation can proceed and uninterruptedly. After peace must sumption of industry all countries. And with the revival of an improvement in credits, so that industry may be financed and exchanges may be better international cooperation. These things will time. Just how the ed, cannot be forever is in a vast ferment to forecast by what time complete come; or how or why nomile activities will chaotic as this pha situation is, as to features, yet, on the one are promising. Or will come the birth better era.

Sae THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Europe especially, are hindering the return of normality. First of all, the shadow of war yet hangs over Europe. The latest movement along the Rhine, with its tragic possibilities; the civil strife in Russia, with threat of Soviet aggression upon Poland and other adjoining territory, when the spring opens—these keep the world on tension and halt the orderly expansion of economic operations. The world must be pacified before the mighty work of rehabilitation can proceed systematically and uninterrupted. After peace must come the resumption of industrial operations in all countries. And contemporaneous with the revival of industry must be an improvement and expansion of credits, so that industry and business may be financed and so that foreign exchanges may be bulwarked, to foster international commerce. These things will come in due time. Just how they will be effected, cannot be foretold now. Europe is in a vast ferment. It is impossible to forecast by what methods or at what time complete pacification will come; or how or when normal economic activities will resume. But, chaotic as this phase of the world situation is, as to some of its features, yet, on the whole, prospects are promising. Out of the travail will come the birth of a brighter and better era. CONGRESS PREPARING FOR AN EXTRA SESSION Members of Congress are becoming sobered in mind by contemplation of the unparalleled program of unfinished work of superlative importance which will come before the extra session, soon to convene, and the regular sitting, beginning next December. This feeling of extreme responsibility should grow upon Congress. For truly the work to be done is almost appalling in its magnitude and its far-reaching importance. Many new members will appear in the Sixty-seventh Congress. The people will watch eagerly, to determine the quality of its personnel. They fervently hope that there are no demagogues, no Lilliputian politicians, in either house of Congress. The people, at this juncture, as never before, want statesmanship—big, broad, thoroughly American not the United States co-operate strongly—even take the lead — in world-wide efforts to make just peace perpetual throughout the world? This Nation has its unexamined opportunity, and, from all indications, will not fail itself or the world in using its opportunity wisely and well. THE FRIENDLINESS of government and people of the United States toward Latin America is unmistakable. LOBBYING IS a practice that should be abandoned by those who honestly are working for good causes, and should be penalized when engaged in dishonestly and corruptly by unschulous agents of improper causes. A FIRM but courteous, considerate and just foreign policy on the part of the Harding administration is indicated. This will be pleasing to true Americans, and not displeasing to any country or people disposed to be friendly toward the United States. A GREAT psychologic wave of confidence is sweeping over the country and is having stimulating effect upon economic conditions. The new administration is evolving its policies and they are reassuring to industrial and financial interests. IN PROPOSING world disarmament, the United States should use the wisdom of the serpent, as well as exemplifying the harmlessness of the dove. World peace is not to be bought by the surrender of common sense to a foolish altruism that takes no account of menacing conditions. CULTIVATE THE waste spots. Either plant something materially useful—as fruit or vegetable—or else something to please the aesthetic sense—flowers or shrubs. Even the small humble premises can be gladdened and made a feast to the eyes, by a little juilicious planting and a little cultivating. THE GOVERNMENT at Washington cannot do the day's work for the individual American. It cannot decide the issues of success or failure in life of the average American. Let the government be ever so good, or not so good, and yet success or failure, broadly speaking, depends upon individual initiative. ally found itself in New York. There the young Santa Ana dancer came under the management of Kingaberry Foster, a well known manager-of musical celebrities, who placed her shortly with Florenz Ziegfeld's revue. In this revue Miss Bell does what is termed in the program as a Mooresque dance. To win a position as a solo dancer in a big organization such as that managed by Ziegfeld is an honor accorded to but few. The press notices Miss Bell has received in the theatrical columns of the New York papers are extremely enthusiastic. A big future is predicted for the beautiful young Santa Anan. Court Reporter E. G. Hoff and Interpreter Charles C. Carrilli climbed up into the cupola of the court house to take a look over their fair city. They discovered an owl's nest. They also saw one large owl. Hoff declared the owl said: "To hoot to whom." Carrillo said the owl did not use correct diction because it said "To hoot to who." How Do You Say It? "To Dissent To." In one of the most widely read newspapers of America, the following sentence was noted recently: "We do not state the language of the decision, to which three judges dissented, but only its effect." This sentence affords another example of a very common kind of grammatical error, the misuse of prepositions. The sentence should read: "We do not state the language of the decision, from which three judges dissented." The proper preposition to use after the verb "dissent" is "from." Not "to." We do not dissent "to" anything; we dissent "from" it. After the verb "assent," meeting to agree with it is proper to use "to." The little connective words which are known as prepositions, are tricky This feeling of extreme responsibility should grow upon Congress. For truly the work to be done is almost appalling in its magnitude and its far-reaching importance. Many new members will appear in the Sixty-seventh Congress. The people will watch eagerly, to determine the quality of its personnel. They fervently hope that there are no demagogues, no Lilliputian politicians, in either house of Congress. The people, at this juncture, as never before, want statesmanship—big, broad, thoroughly American statesmanship. They want able and conscientious service from the Sixty-seventh Congress. Whether or not they are to get it, the event must demonstrate. But there are reasons to hope for good work from the extra and regular sessions of the incoming Congress. COST OF WORLD WAR HUGE BEYOND COMPARE Total not cost entailed upon the Allied and associated nations on account of the World War is expertly estimated at approximately $140,000,000,000! This is incomparably greater than the monetary cost of any other war ever waged—in truth, greater, perhaps, than the combined cost of all great modern wars, up to 1914. This is not taking account of the appalling loss of life, which was far greater in the World War, than in any struggle prior thereto. "War is hell." Is it not time for the great powers of the world to join in solemn compact to drive this hellish thing from the earth? Should The Village Gossip A. G. Herring of Fullerton, a well known inventor, has sold his patent and manufacturing rights on a combination wrench set, to four Long Beach capitalists who have incorporated a company capitalized at $100,000 for the immediate manufacture of this device. The articles to be manufactured include the combination wrench set, consisting of fifteen different sized wrenches, with handle and two screw drivers. This will be put out to the trade in a compact canvas fold retailing for about $5 the set. The corporation will also manufacture a lathe tool called a thread cutter, which will cut a right or left-hand thread by setting the nut near head of cutter, and a window device which does away with cords and chain or weights thus permitting the windows to be raised or lowered to any height. Other articles to be manufactured, and all perfected by the Fullerton inventor, include a door lock, a carpenter's vise and saw clamp, pipe wrench, racket wrench, auto signal and a demountable rim.

When a pound of butter is an ounce under weight or even half an ounce, the loss to the buyer of that particular pound is not great, but when the family uses 50 pounds of butter a year, and each pound is shy an ounce, and butter is worth an average of fifty cents a pound, the consumer is out three pounds of butter, or $1.50, for the year, is the way McPhee figures it out. What holds true in deals in butter holds good in many other sales; declares the county sealer. Taken over the state the saving is enormous. C. G. Johnson, state superintendent of weights and measures, figures the savings to consumers on four commodities alone to be $2,477,123.15 per year. McPhee, in making an estimate of some of the savings worked out by his department for the people of the county, conservatively puts the figures as follows: Fertilizer, $25,000; gasoline, $18.500; bread, $18,000; hay, $6,000; butter and milk, $10,000; miscellaneous commodities, $17,500. The cost of operating the county sealer's department has averaged less than $2,000 a year, and it is declared by those who are familiar with its workings that the money invested in that department has brought big returns to the county. To be only 20 years old, yet to be a solo dancer in the world-famous Ziegfeld revue in New York city and to win flattering notices from the dramatic reviewers of the country's metropolis— That is the achievement of Miss Virginia Bell, beautiful and talented daughter of Mrs. Thomas E. Creed, of Newhope-rd., Santa Ana. Miss Bell a graduate of Santa Ana high school, left Los Angeles May 3, last year, with the Denishaw dancers.

The oldest specimen in the world is a piece of linen found at Cairo, bearing the image of Tethmosis II, and over 3000 years old. Pliny, ignorant of the Egyptian accords the Phrygians with inventing embroidery. Embroidery in gold and silver is said to have been invented by Attalus II, king of Perganum, in 152 B.C.
