ENEST, Manager Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per year, $2; six months, $1.55 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The flush of youth soon passes from the fact, The spells of fancy from the mind deprit. The form may lose its symmetry and grace. But time can claim no victory over the heart—Mrs. Dinnice. The world needs fewer idle words and more useful works. As to several of Mr. Edison's questions let the encyclopedia answer. Memorial Day was not instituted to be turned into a riotous romp of pleasure. To leave the Pacific coast without adequate naval defense would be to invite national disaster. Government and people must put brakes on wastefulness and extravagance before economic normality will return. Eloquent dissertations on the brotherhood of man do not feed the hungry or provide work for the involuntarily idle. Man makes wonderful moving pictures. But God finishes the aurora across the skies and shows, by contrast, the puniness of man's creations. The World War did a vast deal of derangement in the economic realm. Activities and conditions cannot be brot back instantly to safe and sure paths. It must needs be a gradual process. Life is just one peril after another. In the future the podestrian will no more than get out of the way of traffic, than he will have to dodge the fire that accidentally dropped from his airships. A man can maintain a huge armament and yet not endanger the peace of the world, because the world knows that this country craves peace with all nations, and would not fire a hostile gun except in self-defense. If the Pacific coast is to retain the fleet in these waters there must be business in the world has been conducted without a fixed business system. But henceforth governmental outgo is to be revised intelligently and is to be regulated by due consideration of income, and the proper relation between income and outlay is to be maintained. That vast good will come from the operation of this system is not to be questioned. Its adoption will please the people and should inspire greater confidence in the business functioning of the government. FLEET IN THE PACIFIC IS NATIONAL NEED Agitation and activity to keep the Pacific Fleet in these waters is not a narrow sectional movement, by any means. It is not the Pacific Coast alone, but the whole Nation, that should be protected by the presence of this fleet. If hostile attack were made successfully against the Pacific Coast by a first-class power, at war with the United States, it would not be this section alone, but the entire country that would suffer and be humiliated. The human heart, by the wise provisions of an all-wise Creator, is surrounded and fortified by a bony structure, to give it protection against the perils that beset human flesh—protected because it is a vital organ. So in national defense, the spots that are vital should be given the strongest fortifications, and the most formidable defenses at sea. The United States, if attacked at all, in all probability would be assailed from this Pacific side. Hence, the consummate wisdom of keeping a great fleet in these waters and of having mighty shore fortifications and adequate naval bases. MAKE COLORADO RIVER A USEFUL STREAM It would be a near-crime, economically, not to curb and conserve the Colorado River. Running wanton and uncontrolled, its floody waters are capable of wreaking damage almost measureless. Why should this river be permitted to run its outlaw course, more than once a week? Days of '49 as return of D. E. H. from Plumas co., bert McFarland, small bottle containe Life is just one peril after another. In the future the podestrian will no more than get out of the way of traffic, then we will have to dodge the firearms accidentally dropped from our airships. A can maintain a huge armament and yet not endanger the peace of the world, because the world knows that this country craves peace with all nations, and would not fire a hostile gun except in self-defense. If the Pacific coast is to retain the fleet in these waters there must be harmony as to naval bases. This coast cannot indulge in sectional controversies over these matters, and yet expect to have winning influence at Washington. The United States, while making peace with the Central powers, should make it in the right way, not in a manner apologetic or that would compromise this nation, or make it appear that it was in the wrong in entering the World War. A break of the entente among the Allies would be a calamity to the world. Surely there must be a safe and satisfactory way to preserve this friendly compact which, since 1914, has stood grumely against the militarism that threatened to over-run the world. Mr. Edison overlooked a live-wire human-interest question for his list, namely: Can two live as cheaply as one? Another question that soon will be seasonable, also was omitted from the wizard's questionnaire: Is it hot enough for you? STUDENTS EXPELLED FOR BREATH HONOR Eight sophomores old. 1 Scientist School, of Yale, have been expelled and thirteen others have been placed on probation for alleged violation of the school's honor system, in recent examinations. The student discipline committee recommended severe punishment for those who "cribed" in examinations, hence the expulsions by the faculty—the entire membership of a class being affected by the disciplinary measure. Educational and other institutions should be an jealousy of good name and of standards of honor as is the honorable person in any walk of life. It is a good omen to find representative students or Yale standing strongly against dishonorable methods among students and strongly to rupholding the traditional honor of that great university. VOLUME OF BUILDING IS SURE TO GAIN No need to become obsessed with hopeless alarm over the continued shortage in housing. It is a disabling situation, all must admit. But there is this element of certainty in it—the American people must be and will be housed. The more acute the dearth of houses becomes, the greater the certainty of the beginnings of nation-wide relief. MAKE COLORADO RIVER A USEFUL STREAM It would be a near-crime, economically, not to curb and conserve the Colorado River. Running wanton and uncontrolled, its floody waters are capable of wreaking damage almost measureless. Why should this river be permitted to run its outlaw course, any more than human outlaws are given free hand? But the brightest side to the Colorado Basin project—or series of projects—is the positive, not the negative—the good and immensely beneficial things that will come constructively from putting brakes on Colorado River floods and taming and domesticating the waters to do the bidding o fman. Hydroelectric energy by tens of thousands of horse-power should be developed; millions of acres, now fallow, should be reclaimed and made fruitful in this famous Colorado Basin. Useful production should expand. Population in this region should increase rapidly. Prosperity should much more abound in this section because of scientific utilization of this big stream. MRS. STILLMAN TO ENTER FILMDOM Mrs. James A. Stillman is considering the acceptance of an offer of $100,000 a year to appear in a series of motion pictures. She is reported to have had some success as an amateur actress. But motion picture producers are not offering $100,000 a year to would-be actresses who have had some success as amateurs, unless there be something besides dramatic ability to prompt the offer. Truth is, Mrs. James A. Stillman is sought because she is the central figure in one of the most hauseous divorce scandals of recent years; and because of the wealth and prominence of the family into which she married. In other words, the intention is to capitalize this moral sewage; to flaunt this disgusting scandal in the faces of the decent people of the country. There is no more reason why Mrs. Stillman, wealthy and prominent, should be featured in films because of the haze of scandal that envelops her name, than that Clara Smith Hamon should be featured because of her scandal. There should be no caste in these things. Scandal and disgrace should debar the rich and prominent from this form of exploitation, just as it debars the poor stenographer of the Clara Smith Hamon type. There is no rhyme or reason, and no moral justification, for putting these two women in pictures. Any films in which they might appear would be demoralizing and debasing in suggestiveness, no matter what the pictures in which they might be measured from this Pacific side. Hence, the consummate wisdom of keeping-a great fleet in these waters and of having mighty shore fortifications and adequate naval bases.

It is a disdulging situation, all must admit. But there is this element of certainty in it—the American people must be and will be housed. The more acute the dearth of houses becomes, the greater the certainty of the beginnings of nation-wide relief. It is true that the lack of housing, as compared with actual needs, the country over, is so pronounced that, even though construction should swing into normal, it would require many years of uninterrupted building activity to meet the Nation's housing needs. Americans are resourceful. They may do without or scrip themselves for a time, awaiting reduced prices, but they will not do this always. The come a time, in building which is an essential thing, when the people will give the word to builders to go forward. And this forward-march will go on, it may be expected, without serious interruption, until this country's distressing shortage in housing is overcome. BUDGET PLAN OF BENEFIT TO TO THE NATION The United States government soon is to have a budget system. The McCormick and the Good bills are in conference between House and Senate. Agreement is expected soon. President Harding doubtless will approve whichever measure is agreed upon in conference. There is slight difference between them. The McCormick bill, originating in the Senate, rests the power and responsibility of shaping the budget and co-ordination department estimates, in the day of the treasury. The Good bill imposes this misreponsibility upon the plan prevails, the system essentially sound and effective from the very endly needs just supervision as will give consent or the who exer-st gigan- THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA time, the United States will proceed with its naval building program. The holding of this proposed disarmament conference should bring out in relief the exact, explicit attitude of Great Britain and Japan, as well as that of the United States. A candid conference of this nature should demonstrate to the world just how much it reasonably may expect from concerted attempts to effect reduction of armaments. The United States, for its part, will evince its sincerity and its consistency as a peace loving and peace promoting nation. If other great powers are willing, in absolute and unmistakable good faith, to meet this country in practicable plans for simultaneous reduction of armaments, then there will be reasonable ground for considering this step. But without such bona fide agreement, the United States would be unsafe and untrue to itself if it did not continue to augment its naval strength. The Village Gossip Although delayed for years, the hot dog, such a source of appetizing delight at country fairs, has at last been recognized. Bulletins reaching here today indicate that the weinie has about reached the height of its rejuvenating career. Scientist have discovered that for pure food value, the lowly frankfurter leads em' all. It is reported to be more than a nose ahead of all the other so-called food commodities. As against 200 calories of its competitors in the rac. the dog wins out with 250 calories, so the report says. Shunned, Jeered and scoffed at, the weinie has led a sorrowful and very dejected life, it is said. It has for years been praised loudly by food vendors at places where people gather for amusement and eat to kill time, but the hot reminder of a quick lunch is said to have acquired a halo of fame which will be hard to eradicate. Days of '49 are recalled with the return of D. E. Hartman, of Fullerton, from Plumas-co., accompanied by Gilbert McFarland. They exhibited a small bottle containing about $125 in Dan Cupid was especially busy he is not far from the mark when he says "approximately 6,000." Whether any other justice of the peace in the country can produce a better record is a matter of conjecture. Asked whether he thought justice court marriages lasted as long as ministerial weddings, Judge Cox said: "Well, so far as I know, they do. A lot of people make fun of justice court marriages, but there is no reason to believe that they do not stick." Judge Cox said that very, very few of the marriages performed in his court have ever been annulled, to his knowledge. He said that possibly ten or twelve actions for annulment have been brought. In nearly every instance one or the other of the contracting parties was under age at the time of the marriage and secured the license through misrepresentation, else one or the other claimed to be intoxicated or hypnotized and not aware of what was going on. The Judge's first name is John and that is such a common name that he does not always believe the fellow who tells him that his first offspring is named after him. Judge Cox says that he does not stipulate the marriage fee unless asked to do so. It might be stated, however, that the majority of grooms hand him a "tive spot." Once in a while when some groom is particularly jubilant and "flushed" he hands the Judge a ten. A week ago, (Friday the 13th.) a Los Angeles bride-groom handed the Judge $13. Incidentally, the ceremony was performed at 13 minutes of 12. Frequently Judge Cox interrupts a trial or preliminary hearing to tie the knot. If his court room is crowded he saves the couple some embarrassment by escorting them out into the basement corridor and then into an unoccupied room, formerly the constable's office. On one occasion the Judge was performing a ceremony in this office when a drop of steaming hot water from a radiator pipe overhead struck him in the center of his bald head. He was startled but steady. A moment later another drop struck him... Shunned, Jeered and scoffed at, the weinie has led a sorrowful and very dejected life, it is said. It has for years been praised loudly by food vendors at places where people gather for amusement and eat to kill time, but the hot reminder of a quick lunch is said to have acquired a halo of fame which will be hard to eradicate. Days of '49 are recalled with the return of D. E. Hartman, of Fullerton, from Plumas-co., accompanied by Gilbert McFarland. They exhibited a small bottle containing about $125 in placer gold which they had obtained from a mine near La Porte. The gold is from the property of the Feather Fork Gold Gravel Co., in which many Fullerton people are interested. The mine is in the bed of an old river, there being a shaft 180 feet deep, the gold exhibited coming from the bottom of the shaft. The shaft was driven through 40 feet of lava, 80 feet of clay and 60 feet of gravel to bedrock. The gravel is hoisted and running from $5 to $25 per cubic yard. Dr. F. D. Coultrin, of La Habra, is president of the company. The doctor will make his home in Fullerton after June I. W. C. Hendrick and D. E. Hartman of Fullerton are two of the directors. Gilbert McFarland and brother started prospecting the property two years ago with the result that now believe they have one of the richest placer mines in the state. They used steam power in sinking the shaft but will change to water power which is available from the south fork of the Feather river nearby. They formed a company which controls 2700 acres. La Porte is the nearest postoffice, 26 miles away, but there is a good highway to the property. When McFarland and Mr. Hartman left there Monday there was four foot of snow on the ground, but melting fest. Mr. McFarland is superintendent of the mine, he and his brother and their families residing on the property. Fullerton residents who are interested in the property are greatly elated over visions of great wealth. Would you be surprised if told that Justice of the Peace Cox has married approximately 6,000 couples. He says so himself, and he ought to know. The figure is arrived at in this wise: The Judge has been in office ten years and five months. He performs on an average of two ceremonies a day. There are 365 days in the year. Eliminating Sundays and holidays there are about 300. Two times 300 is 600. And 10 times 600 is 6,000. He figures that he has married about 350 couples since the first of the year and counting the days when LEMONS CONDUCE TO HEALTH AS WELL AS PLEASE PALATE In the olden times sailors who took long trips and ate no fresh vegetables and fruits for weeks or months were likely to fall victims to scurvy. Finally a curt or a partial cure for it was found in lemon juice. Of late years, scientists have been making a study of scurvy, its cause and its cure and of the conditions that make the body proof against this disease. They have discovered a substance called vitamine C, which seems to prevent and even cure this disease. It is found in many foods, ameng them tomatiles and such citrus fruits as oranges, grapefruit and lemona.
