DAILY GREETING TO READERS The shadowy desert, unfrequented woods, I better brook than flourishing people towns; There can I sit alone, unseen of any. And to the nightingale's complaining notes Tune my distresses, and record my woes. —Shakespeare. The Americanism of every patriot nssays 100 per cent pure at all times. Fewer laws and better ones, rigidly enforced ,would heighten respect for law. High time to put a period to the hyphen in the citizenship of naturalized Americans. The June bride is ready to go into the hands of a receiver. And the bridegroom is ready to receive her. The flower of the United States navy is not needed in the Atlantic; but it is sorely needed in the Pacific. Province dispenses weather. Any complaint against climatic conditions is, in effect, criticism of Providence. The man who courageously takes the dispensations of Providence as they come and who makes the best of every reverse, never giving up—never yielding to discouragement—that man is an inspiration to his fellows. Armistice Day is to be a legal holiday in California. But at no time in the future will it be celebrated with quite so much zest as on May 1, 1918. That first Armistice Day will live in the memory of millions o long as they have memory. FREIGHTS ARE REDUCED TO AND FROM WEST Substantial reduction in freight and control all primaries for the choosing of federal officers. An amendment of this nature would be approved by the masses of the people, without doubt, and if put before the states probably would be ratified quickly. A proposal of this kind is in order. PLAN FOR COMPACTING OF NATIONS NOT READY President Harding has not made known to the world, with definiteness of detail, just what plan for a peace promoting association of nations he will propose. Ambassador Harvey is expected to sound out the allied governments, through his sitting in the Supreme Council, but reports that he is commissioned to bring about the Harding compact are denied in Washington. Political waters are too muddy in Europe for America's action now, it is believed that President Harding feels. There may be a lapse of several months before the President lays his plan before the world, meantime awaiting developments on the other side of the Atlantic. Europe should be more quiescent and better able to know its own mind, before this fateful work is undertaken. MAKE HIGHWAY TO SERVE THE FARMER A great deal has been said and is being said about building permanent highways to cater to sightseers and to promotes the use of public thoroughfares for pleasure travel. Well and good. This is proper concern. Sightseeing touring over highways is of big importance and is becoming more and more important, here in California, and throughout the Pacific West. This should be encouraged. It is well that this state has one of the finest systems of boulevards in the world, for the delectation of automobiling sightseers. But the farmer and his interests should not be overlooked or neglected in this. The agricultural com- Armistice Day is to be a legal holiday in California. But at no time in the future will it be celebrated with quite so much zest as on May 1, 1918. That first Armistice Day will live in the memory of millions o long as they have memory. FREIGHTS ARE REDUCED TO AND FROM WEST Substantial reduction in freight rates, amounting to about 20 per cent, is to be made by all transcontinental railways west of Chicago. His cut in rates, it is announced, is made to enable the railroads to meet the competition of water lines thru the Panama canal. The reduced eastbound rates will apply to beans, peas, canned salmon, and other commodities. The westbound rates would affect canned goods, oil cloth, drugs and medicines, cotton goods, belting, hose and rubber, iron and steel, structural iron, blank books, paper, roofing, sewing machines, soap and washing compounds and other commodities. This material relief to shippers—and incidentally to consumers, will be welcomed. And it will be regarded as harbinger of other reductions in freight in the near future. The very thing that the railroads declared, before water competition was instituted, they could not do, they now are doing, compelled to it by water competition. PRESERVE PURITY OF THE PRIMARIES A disquieting phase of the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the case against Senator Newbery of Michigan, is the fact that it, in effect, leaves the Nation without legal protection against corrupt practices in primary elections to choose federal officers. This should not be insulted as the presidential primary is in effect in a great many states and bids fair to become a fixed nation-wide institution, there should be legal means of preserving its purity. The only practical, effectual means of getting this purity insurance is to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution, vesting Congress with power to regulate States of the West will stand staunchly together in insisting upon debarring unassimilable aliens from holding land in this section, and in advocating exclusion of all Asiatics. Every part of this section of the nation is affected by this menace, and the West will present solid front, asking that the Washington government assume a firm stand in bringing this vital issue to a head in negotiations with Japan. This section is not trying to embroil the Nation or to embarrass the national government. On the contrary, it is endeavoring to bring to settlement the issue which, if dallied with, will surely bring very serious trouble. The West cannot be denied its insistence upon controlling its land against menacing alien ownership and cannot be scourged with the presence of a growing body of Asiatic residents who never can become truly Americans.

Green President Harding Meets Miss Holt And Blind Girls from Lighthouse The famous "Harding smile," which has endeared many of our citizens to the nation's President, was tender and his voice shook with emotion, as Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, welcomed two blind orphan girls brought to the White House by Miss Winifred Holt, world-wide friend of the blind, and known in many lands as "The Lady of the Lighthouse." Miss Holt visited the White House with the two blind girls to tell the story of the Lighthouse movement in America, France and Italy, and to ask the President's cooperation in the $2,000,000 campaign of the Committee for by a brother of her dead husband. The child was born but the wedding—always was postponed. When the story had been told two things were passed around the table—a ballot for an indictment—and a hat. One returned a true bill. The other, $20 for the woman. The woman who told the story wore Irene Peasley, who thought she would be the wife of Roy Peasley, who is in the Los Angeles county jail charged with white slavery. The story as it filtered out to that Mrs. Peasley, now a resident of Long Beach, was a widow at Grand Rapids, Mich., when her dead husband's brother, Roy Peasley, returned from the war. He made love to her. He told her he had been divorced from his wife. Officials say he had a wife and two children. It was testified that Mrs. Peasley was induced to go to Ann Arbor where the two were to marry. Cexquse followed another. She said persuaded her to go to Florida. The drifted to Long Beach and later Balboa. Last December a child was born at Balboa. There, she said, Peasley left her. Later, it was testified, cording to officials, Peasley married Edna Murray of Long Beach. Teeny mony showed that Peasley had legal right to marry since his divorce had not become effective. Michigan. Edna Murray testified before the grand jury. Introducing Appendix ularia BY W. E. ALLEN California Biological Feature Service. The other day at the Scripps Logical station our librarian, Dr. Senberg, who devotes a considerable portion of her time to research marine organisms, gave a public presentation of the work which she recently been doing with the microscopic animals called Appendicularia. It seems that some people think that these tiny animals represent those ancient forms which might have regarded as almost, if not quite, lowest of the vertebrate stock. I way one might say that they are... The Village Gossip "We have now made nearly 15,000 miles in the Studebaker six, and the car is running beautifully." This is a quotation from a letter written from Meknes, Morocco, by Sydmer Ross, of Fullerton. Before leaving Fullerton for an extensive tour of Europe, Sydmer purchased a Studebaker car here, having it delivered to him at New York. Whence it was shipped overseas for the tour. In pervious letters from Ross, he told of his tour through the battlefields and the wonderful service the Studebaker was giving him. The Fullerton man now writes that he has toured Sicily, has crossed over to Palermo and Tunis and that he was "doing" North Africa at the letter was written. He declares that on the whole the roads in North Africa are better than he expected to find. He expected to be on his way from Algeria to Marseilles by May 10, he write. Two porographs from his letter read as follows: "Algeria gave us two of the finest marine drives that we have ever taken, the first from Djidjelli to Bourgie a distance of about 60 miles, and the other from Algiers to Oran, some 275 miles. Algérie also gave us the gorges of Chabetel-Akra, some four and one-half miles in length. This trip was over a splendid road, and taking it all in all was the equal of any gorges that we have ever seen, though we have passed thru some grand gorges on this trip, especially in the Pyrenees." We have now made nearly 15,000 miles in the Studebaker big six, and the car is running beautifully. I have had no breakages and no parts to replace except several heat cocks and an occasional spark plug or oil cup. The Ball and Ball carburetor requires very little attention. On two occasions since I started I found that the carburetor was not getting sufficient gasoline. All that I had to do was to clean the screens on the feed line all the was through from the rear tank, which ended the trouble. The federal grand jury; astute and stern, at Los Angeles, listened to the simple story of a woman, who was induced to leave her home in Michigan by alluring promises of marriage SWEDE'S 175 W.

Reducing Appendicula BY W. E. ALLEN Annih Biological Feature Service. Other day at the Scripps Blottion our librarian, Dr. Eswho devotes a considerable of her time to research on organisms, gave a public exof the work which she has been doing with the miromals called Appendicularia, as that some people think e tiny animals represent client forms which might be was almost, if not quite, the the vertebrae stock. In a might say that they are our sent the direct line of vertebrate descent or no, they are of considerable general interest for those two, or three other reasons. For one thing they have a general scientific interest because they stay in a sort of baby stage all of their lives. They look somewhat like tadpoles and if some kind of a frog should quit growing out of the tadpole state it would have the same kind of an interest to scientists. Experts would say "Why, this kind of frog is a degenerate kind, it never grows out of its baby shape and habits." Some scientists think that the ancestors of the Appendicularia were shore animals like the sea squirts but that their offspring got to stay more and more out to sea and finally lost all tendency to grow beyond the tadpole-like stage. The covering, or so-called tunic, of these animals is also interesting. Some species are entirely enclosed by it while others are only partly covered. It is made up of a somewhat jelly-like material secreted from the skin of the animal. This tunic (or house, as it is also called) can be shed very quickly and easily when the animal is disturbed or irritated. Hence Dr. Essenberg does not often find a specimen fully equipped. Some authorities say that when an enemy tries to devour an Appendicularian, it can sometimes escape by shedding its house. It also seems to be true that they soon get tired of a house and shed it without apparent provocation. One species is said to keep a house about six hours, after which it moves out and builds a new one in about one hour. One reason for frequent change of tunic, or house, seems to be that it has inside it in a large space between it and the body of the animal two sieve like structures connected by a passage way. One is coarser than the other. Water is drawn in by a paddle like motion of the tail part of the body and goes through the coarse sieve first, thus straining out such materials as are too large for the animal to handle. Then, finer materials such as one-celled animals and plants which get through the coarser sieve are stopped on the finer, from which the animal takes them by its mouth for food. After a few hours the strainers get clogged up, hence the owner casts off the whole covering and makes a whole new cuttle. Bessica F.
