DAILY GREETING TO READERS Borrow, that streams not over, Spares but the eye, to wound the heart the more, Dumb, infelt pangs, too well supply the woe, That grief, in suffering silence, shuns to show. —Aaron Hul The best of pitchers cannot break Babe Ruth of the home-run habit. Women's fashion note: Men are taking to intensive study of anatomy. "Ill fares the land, to hastening ill a prey," when demagogues and petty politicians sit where statesmen should be. To be of constructive value, criticism must be fair and unwarped by passion or prejudice. If all this controversial tumult over Tap continues, a motion will be in order to change its name to Yawp. That inspiring spectacle of the wheat field waying its golden crests under the soft breezes of summer is about die again. Gentuses like Shakespeare are not born to die." Shakespeare lives as verily in the twentieth century as he did in the sixteenth. Vice President Coolidge Is not a man of many words. What he says has a substance to it. He is not a vendor of "weasel words" either. There are times when some Californians feel that the best thing about the legislature is that it meets no offener than once in two years. Uncle Sam approaches this problem of making formal peace about as gracefully and easily as a woman in a tight skirt boarding a high-stepped street car. In a modest little hold-up down in Mexico only ten were killed and a few wounded. Events seem to be moving in rather quiet channels down there. The average person is a discontented FOR STRONG, RIGHTEOUS NATIONAL DEFENSE Pledging himself to a program that contemplates "providing for our country a righteous, just and unfailing defense," President Harding, speaking to the officers and men of the Atlantic fleet at Haimpton Roads, voiced the "spirit of the republic" as he conceived it. It is a spirit which sincerely craves peace with all the world; which will do all it honorably can to avoid war; but which involves prudential preparations to meet any emergency threatening the Nation that may arise. Some of the words of President Harding are quoted herewith: The United States does not want anything not rightfully our own, no territory, no payment, no tribute. We do want that which is righteous our own; and, by the Eternal, we will have that! You are the first line of defense. I wish you might never be compelled to fire a gun in war; and I believe if all the governments were impelled by the same motives this world would be at peace forever, starting from today. But I would not want peace without honor—I would not want peace without a consciousness that America was doing right and protecting her citizenship in her most effective way. This is sterling Americanism, with a Jacksonian, Roosevltian vigor to it. It is in this spirit that America faces the problems of the world today, as its policies and its influence affect these problems. America wants peace with honor. It would not live in dishonorable peace. It covets nothing possessed by any other nation; but it wants what rightly belongs to it. It desires peace and good will. But it will not flinch if compelled to take up arms defensively. HUMAN WEAL DEPENDS ON MORAL CODE Speaking with earnest devotion to ethical standards which is characteristic of New England folk, Vice President Coolidge says that the greatest hope of the stricken world lies in the "sturdy, hard-working, home-loving America." Uncle Sam approaches this problem of making formal peace about us gracefully and easily as a woman in a tight skirt boarding a high-stepped street car. In a modest little hold-up down in Mexico only ten were killed and a few wounded. Events seem to be moving in rather quiet channels down there. The average person is a discontented and amateur of men home. In summer he longs to be at the North Pole. So long as Europe and Asia maintain big kennels of war dogs, snarling and showing their teeth Uncle Sam will keep a choice assortment of big guns handy. Mother's plan for making the coffee settle is to put a bit of egg in it. Respectfully suggested to the Allies, trying to find a settling process on reparations. Uncle Sam's export business has become so lean that it is in order to increase its weight by feeding it on sweets and fats of methodical, intensified promotion. Business and industry are brightening in this twelfth federal reserve district. The economic clouds—at no time very thick or dark on this coast—are rolling by. It would be particularly fortunate for this country if political partisanhip in legislation and in governmental affairs were kept in abeyance for an indefinite period. The United States will disarm when the rest of the world renoves the conditions and causes which impel this nation to keep itself prepared successfully to defend itself. The position of the United States is and should be that of a nation positively and constructively for peace, but adequately prepared, in armament, successfully to defend itself if attacked. It is not difficult to arouse enthusiasm over Raisin Day here in California. Californians, having a liking for this luxious product, do not wait until the 30th of April to feast on raisins. Yet it is a good thing to have one day dedicated to the raisin. It keeps the people reminded of the deliciousness of this California product. HUMAN WEAL DEPENDS ON MORAL CODE Speaking with earnest devotion to ethical standards which is characteristic of New England folk, Vice President Coolidge says that the greatest hope of the stricken world lies in the "sturdy, hard-working, home-loving America." The question of human welfare, he holds, is not economic but a moral question: moral force lacking. "Men are not doing as well as they can with what they serve." Putting the conclusion of the whole matter into one sentence, Mr. Coolidge says that "our civilization perishes unless the great powers it has developed are directed by a greater moral force." True words never were spoken. America should take warning from the fate of the nations of antiquity. They perished when they forgot ethics and ignored moral values. America likewise would perish if it traveled the same course. DEVOUT MEN HAVE SAT IN WHITE HOUSE: President Harding attended church on Easter Sunday. He attends church whenever possible. President Wilson, before him, was a churchman. He was Mr. Taft, when President So was Colonel Roosevelt. So was Mr. McKinley.

COOK The Easy Way With Steam Under Pressure You not only save hours of hard, tiresome kitchen work, but many dollars in food and fuel. Cheap cuts of meat and things that require hours of cooking are made deliciously tender in the time with the fuel in a National Cooker. Steam pressure cooking is highly recommended by authorities because all the favorite stoves brought out making everything taste better—besides the food is more readily digested. No disagreeable odors can escape. There is no investment more profitable for the battery. A National Steam Pressure Cooker pays for itself in a few weeks by providing efficient service.

It is satisfying and reassuring to the American people to think of their Presidents as godly men. Even the person who makes no profession of religion—who is not a churchgoer and who has no personal identification with organized religious effort, feels that the Ship of State is in safe hands when the heliosman is a Christian and an upholder and exponent of Christian principles in government and in public and private life. It is no misnomer to call this a Christian nation. Communicants of churches of the Christian faith number many millions. Besides, there are great numbers not directly identified with churches, who are in sympathy with these religious organizations and who are in sympathy with these religious organizations and who are essentially Christian in spirit and many of them in practice. Hence, it is a verity to say that this is a Christian land. Therefore, it is fitting that its chief executive and its official spokesman should be a Christian. GREAT NAVY PLANS ARE FURTHERED The House has passed, by overwhelming majority, the naval appropriation bill which failed in the last congress. The measure carries $396,000,000. That it will go through the senate substantially unchanged seems assured. There seems to be predominating sentiment in Congress favorable to the completion of the big-navy program. The United States, it is felt, must keep abreast of the other great maritime powers, both as a measure outright safety and as a means of influencing the world to peace through disarmament. Anomalous as it seems, superficially viewed, this Nation's course is thoroughly consistent and should prove to be effective. It was probably the worst blow our city has suffered since last year when Mayor Hyland forgot to have the streets plowed out from the blizzard. It takes so little to amuse the young! A two-year old baby was pushed through the front of a store by a runaway automobile in East 163rd street, the other night, and when the wreckage had been cleared away ten minutes later, the infant was found pounding his fists together in delight over the new experience. He had been sitting peacefully, and monotonously, he may have thought, in his go-cart, being pushed by his mother when it all happened. Some one yelled, "Look out!" and a big touring car, zig-zagging rapidly, bore down upon them before the mother could turn the go-cart. One motor car wheel struck the go-cart and through the window the window went baby and buggy, with the auto following them. It is well to take note of messenger boys and everyone else in New York these days. There is no telling what their rank may be. Russian refugees of all degrees are finding haven here. Countesses, princes, and some misters and misses have fled to the Goddess in our harbor to escape death and the Bolsheviks. There are some tremendously interesting and some exceedingly pathetic cases among them—women who had never learned to take care of themselves in any way suddenly dropped into a strange land, homeless and helpless. Through its foreign bureau, the Y. M. C. A. has become interested in some of these exiles and has been able to fit them into a niche where they can adjust themselves to their new conditions. One of the most interesting and talented of them all is the Countess Marie de Gradowsky, a painter of miniatures, who hopes eventually to make a success here. After fleeing from Russia, early in the war, she spent twenty months in an Austrian prison. Her husband having died and left her with a son to take care of, she made her way to this country as soon as possible after her release, in the hope that she could somehow educate him. In the "old days" in Russia, she painted a miniature of the Czar's sister which received high praise and she has for prices that would seem ridiculous if they did not indicate her extreme necessity. Whatever are our animals coming to! No matter how queer and unruly human beings acted, we used to expect animal pets to go comfortably on in the expected ways. That was when we never had anything but pussy cats or canaries for pets, to be sure; but the other day, C. D. West, at a meeting of the Credit Men's Association, told us about lamp-fighting cats — our old friend pussy, taught to jump at a lamp and knock it over the moment she was left alone with it. Then her master, who had carefully left her alone, got the resulting insurance. And up in the north end of town is a canary who has learned jazz from the phonograph and won't sing anything else anymore. While at Central Park, an Australian kingfisher bird has been installed in the bird-house, which laughly loudly and wildly, an hour before sunrise every morning, regularly. Its name is Cucuboro, but it's even funnier than its name—unless you live near it around sunrise time. No, the animal world isn't what it used to be! Two thousand bathers at Coney Island on Sunday, the park benches filled all night, and theatrical, reviewers beginning their columns—"It's a good hot weather show and that's the main thing now," — all meal that summer not spring, but summer, is upon us. Thirteen years is long enough for a husband to wait for his bride to kiss him. In fact, it would injure his bride to wait any longer. So says Frederick Richardson and is accordingly suing for a divorce. He says in his petition that having been married in 1908 and not yet having persuaded his wife to show that much sign of affection, he thinks it is not unreasonable to believe that she does not love him as a wife should. —If It's from Witman's, It's Good! Eva Lyons Smith PIANO Classical—Thilo Becker Method Orange County Representative CHRISTENSEN SCHOOL New York Letter by Lucy Jeanine Price NEW YORK, May 3.—New York has had some pretty hard wallops lately. What with the state taking a hand in prohibition enforcement, and the Republican and Democratic parties both threatening to split, it thought it had undergone enough; but now comes the revelation that the girl selected, after weeks of elimination and choosing, as "most beautiful New York debutante" isn't a New Yorker at all, but a Canadian! New York University staged the competition and Coles Phillips, who spends his life drawing beautiful girls for magazine covers and advertising pages, was chief decider. The "finals" took place at the University concert the other night when 18 society buds sold programs. "Aha! there she is!" cried Mr. Phillips. "There is the most beautiful of them all." Whereupon the excited committee rushed to inform Miss Allison McBain of her fortune and that she was to have her picture painted by Coles Phillips immediately. And she causually announced, "Of course, I'm not really a New Yorker at all. I'm from Quebec. I'm just here for the WE MAKE NO "BULLS" In our radiator repair work.

De Mille to portray the exacting roles of "Forbidden Fruit," his latest Paramount picture, which will be shown at the Fairyland theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The cast is headed by a trio of players who appear for the first time under the De Mille banner. They are Agnes Ayres, Forrest Stanley and Clarence Burton. Miss Ayres, known as one of the most lovely women on the screen, is credited with acting of high merit in this production. Forrest Stanley is one of the most versatile of leading men. Clarence Burton is a veteran of numerous Paramount productions and is recognized as a character man of rare ability. In the supporting company are such players as Kathryn Williams, Theodore Bosloff, Theodore Roberts, Shannon Day, Bertram Johns and Julia Faye. EXPAND PROTECTION DISTRICT Directors of the Newbert Protection district are making arrangements for some extensive work on the cast and west levens of the Santa Ana river north of the Fifth-st bridge, Santa Ana. Bids have been asked for supplying the district with 500 piles to be used in the contemplated work. The piles are not to be less than eight inches in diameter at the lower end and not less than twenty feet in length, of second growth pine or cedar and free from knots and dry rot. Dr. C. S.
