But nearly all the intelligent are ashamed of this guest. It should be remembered that Methuselah, in rolling up a score of 968 years of life, did not have to cross streets in the midst of traffic, 1921 model. "The pen is mightier than the sword." But the typewriter is relegating the pen. So the sword and the typewriter must light it out to decide which of them is the mightier. Another world war would tay the proudest works of civilization in ashes and send civilization itself staggering toward utter ruin. The United States should do all it can to help prevent the consummation of a tragedy like this. The United States should not, and will not, become mixed up with the petty quarrels of Europe. If Europeans must wreaklet, let them settle their own domestic rows. The United States is concerned only with those things which affect the peace of the world. That was a beautiful sentiment which prompted Franklin K. Lane to make ante-portem request that his body be cremated and that his ashes he scattered from sublime El Capitan, overlooking the glories of the Yosemite. That bespoke the devoted love of nature. That form of selfishness which looks only to one's own interests and manifests indifference toward the interests of others is a bad ingredient of citizenship. What the country needs is a form of unselfishness that will make sacrifices, if need be, for the public good. "See California first." Visit its sores of picturesqueeness and grandeur. One might spend the vacations of half a life time just seeing California, and yet not exhaust one's opportunities to be thrilled by the beauties and subtlerities of varied form to be found in this state. There is not a boy in the land who CLEAN PICTURES UP TO THE PUBLIC If the people want clean moving pictures they can have them. Unless they want them with sufficient earnestness, intensity and sincerity to make it more profitable to produce and exhibit clean, unobjectionable pictures than to make and exhibit the unsavory kind, they get fewer good pictures and more that are objectionable. Systematic effort has been made, for some time, by a group of eminent producers, to elevate the standards in film-dom and to produce only the type of films which are pure and without debasing suggestiveness. But no less an authority than George Beban, who has become world famous as an impersonator of Italian characters—he himself being Scotch-Irish—says that of 15 pictures produced comparatively recently with this idea of cleanliness uppermost, only two were financially successful. Even his own pictures—than which there are none' cleaner or more wholesome—have not been successful monetarily. This prompted Mr. Beban to travel across the continent to appear to the public through addresses in the剧院 and elsewhere, to give their patronage and support to clean pictures and to encourage the business of producing undemoralizing films. This puts squarely before the public the issue as to whether or not clean or unclean films are more desired. If the pure and inspiring film is to be greeted with empty seats and poor box office receipts, while the risque, suggestive picture has full houses and a long waiting line, naturally many producers will run to the production of unclean films. The people should make it their business to turn the production of bad pictures into bad business. Withhold patronage from the unclean, patronize the clean in pictures, and the cleansing of the screen would be effected quickly. MR.

One might spend the vacations of half a life time just seeing California, and yet not exhaust one's opportunities to be thrilled by the beauties and sublimities of varied form to be found in this state. There is not a boy in the land who would wilt hold his inmost secrets from Judge Ben Lindsey. If occasion arose and if the celebrated juvenile-court jurist invited the confidence of any boy. To have the confidence and affection of children is riches indeed to any man. The interests of the farmer should be considered duly in providing for improvement of roadways. Roads are not for pleasure travel alone. They are for utilitarian use also. The farming and business interests should be given a square deal, as well as those who use public thoroughfares for sightseeing and recreation. The only way to keep a muscle of the body lively and functioning properly is to use it. The only way to make good impulses worth while and keep them alive and active, is to apply them. When you have an impulse prompting you to do a good deed, do it. President Harding has opportunity now to appoint former President Taft to the chief justiceship of the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Taff is eminently fitted for this exalted post and millions of his countrymen would be pleased to read of his nomination by the President. It would be a fitting rounding out of a long, useful public career and would be in line with Mr. att's known ambition to sit at the head of the greatest judicial tribunal on earth. MR. TAFT, CHIEF JUSTICE WOULD BE IDEAL Now that the laimed Chief Justice White has been laid to rest with solemn obsequies, it is proper to discuss his successor as head of the mot august tribunal in the world—the United States Supreme Court. The man to whom the whole nation turns almost instinctively will William Howard Taft. Pre-eminently fitted for this exalted honor; known to cherish an ambition to set upon the Supreme Bench, there is widespread conviction that President Harding will take this opportunity to nominate his distinguished predecessor for the place made vacant by the death of Chief Justice White. The appointment of Mr. Taft to this position would be generally acceptable. He has the confidence and esteem of the American people as few men have had. They frankly would prefer to have him in a judicial position, rather than in a post distinquely political. For as a jurist he is in his element. He candidly has acknowledged his preference for a judicial career. But Destiny seemed to call him into politics. To round out his career as chief justice would be eminently fitting and the country would be fortunate in having a man of his judicial talents and temperament as head of this august court. SIMPLE, LOVABLE, WE'RE THESE GREAT MEN Of Franklin K. Lane and Chief Justice Edward D. White it is instinctive to speak words of generous laudation. This is not the proverbial posthumous praise of the dead that is empty and meaningless. It is a sincere outpouring of profound esteem—esteem which $946.86 f. o. b.

GEORGE DUNTON FORD AND FORDSON SALES AND SERVICE Phone 263 CLAIM ACCUSED IS FORMER SANTA ANAN Alleged to have punished with undue cruelty Florence Baker, 5-year old daughter of Jack Baker, Miss Katherine DeMaine, a teacher in the schools at Clemencau, Ariz., pleaded guilty in justice court here, paid a fine of $25, resigned her position and, according to dispatches received here today from Jerome, Ariz., left for Santa Ana, which it was stated, is her home. According to the report reaching here, the little girl, too small to realize the difference between right and wrong, had gotten in the habit of pilfering small articles and had been punished several times. A few weeks ago Miss DeMaine, with the idea of frightening her, told her that the next time she stole she would burn her hand so that she could not take hold of anything. Last Thursday morning Miss DeMaine discovered that the little Baker child had stolen some candy from the lunch box of another pupil at the school. She first whipped the girl with a stick, washed out her mouth with liquid soap, and then passed a lighted match under the fingers of one hand. Miss DeMaine denied any intention of doing more than frightening the child, but some chocolate adhering to the fingers caught fire and two blisters, one-half an inch or so long, resulted. Florence's father and grandmother noticed the blisters, but she at first refused to tell the truth, making the excuse that she had been playing in hot ashes. Finally the father learned the truth and went to the teacher, who admitted the facts. Considerable public indignation resulted and some wild talk of a lynching party was even heard. A warrant was sworn out for Miss DeMaine and she appeared before Justice Robinson Friday. On the advice of her attorney, C. H. Rutherford, Miss DeMaine pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $25. She immediately resigned and left for California. It is stated that some Clemencau people believing that she had with good intentions merely adopted an unwise method of punishment, took up a collection to pay the fine and other expenses to which the defendant had experienced in installing equipment at the plant. The transmission wire will carry 60,000 volts from the Katella station to the new station for distribution over 10,000 volt lines under construction into different districts. It is estimated that the new lines, station and equipment will represent an expenditure of close to $250,000. One of the 10,000 volt lines has already been connected up with Santa... Orange Show. I would also like to say at this time a few words along the line of future work for Child Welfare in Anaheim. Anaheim has the reputation for doing things big and exceedingly well. Every one concedes Anaheim is the best business point for its size in the state. In other words, Anaheim is fortunate in having business men and women who are practical, progressive and most proficient in whatever they undertake. This being the case, why should not Anaheim set an example for all the Southland in the construction of a beautiful, artistic little building in our new City Park which will be a model health center? Here will be the office of the Community Nurse; here can be kept permanent exhibits and demonstrations on such subjects as baby feeding, clean milk and proper foods, and a day nursery. Here the ladies of the town can gather for their meetings for welfare work and, in short, this can be the nucleus around which can be gathered all functions of this character. Such a center in the interest of child development would be sure to emphasize an idea which is admitted by all sound thinkers; namely, that if you can educate the public to give humane attention to prenatal life and follow this with scientific care of the baby for the first three years of his life, the doctor will be a rare professional visitor in such homes. A healthy and happy life is the inevitable result. I am quite sure if you will get behind a proposition of this kind with a "full head of steam," as you have been bobbling our Baby Show, you will render the people of this community a service which will not only be appreciated by the people of Anaheim now, but of untold value to future generations.

She immediately resigned and left for California. It is stated that some Clemenceau people, believing that she had with good intentions merely adopted an unwise method of punishment, took up a collection to pay the fine and other expenses to which the defendant had been subjected. Baker was not willing to let the matter drop there and took his little daughter to Prescott, where he exhibited her injured hand to County Attorney John Sullivan. Sullivan stated that since Miss DeMaine had already paid a fine for the offense nothing else could be done. Miss DeMaine has taught two years in the schools at Clemenceau and up to this time her services have been entirely satisfactory.
