DAILY GREETING TO READERS The heart bowed down by weight of woe, To weakest hope will cling—Balfe. PROMOTE SUMMER HERE. AMONG TOURISTS The All Year Round Club has perfected its organization and has launched its campaign for promotional advertising on Southern California as an all year around resort for tourists, with particular emphasis upon the delightfulness of summers in this section. Besides Los Angeles, this and other cities of this county and other counties of the Southland, are joining with zest in this boost campaign. This section is to be advertised far and wide, stressing the mildness of its climate in all seasons, summer as well as winter, and urging tourists and home seekers to come here in summer, as well as in other seasons. This is a sound business-like movement. This section has failed to avail itself of its growing opportunities to develop itself, not merely as a winter resort for tourists, but as an ideal clime for twelve months in the year. Those who have lived in this section a great many years know how delightful the summers are—many years the summer is more equitable and more genial than any other season. Globe trotters and pleasure seekers must be educated into full knowledge of the mildness and pleasantness of climate here—winter, spring, summer and fall. This All Year Round club has essayed a promotional project that is meritorious and thus should be very successful. REORGANIZATION PLANS TO BE PUSHED President Harding is displaying militancy of spirit in pressing forward plans for scientific reorganization of the executive departments, independent bureaus and commissions of the national government. The President will brook no interference with these plans, by officeholders. Those government officials and employees who do not fall in line for this reform and who do not cooperate to bring about, will be removed from office. Washington re-partments to effect economies. It will mean loss of position to great numbers. But the government should not keep thousands upon its payroll whose services are not needed. To do so would mean wanton wasting of government funds—a species of wastefulness wholly unjustifiable. AMERICAN LEGION AIMS TOLD BY CHIEF "It is the determination of the American Legion to go forward." says Major John G. Emery, the newly named commander in chief, "to go forward with its fight, emphasizing a more vivid conception by each citizen of his personal obligation of service to his country." Major Emery pledges a continuance of the Legion's program of instilling into the hearts of former service men and women a sense of "individual obligation to community, state and Nation." The American Legion has achieved a great deal in quickening patriotism since the armistice and in keeping alive, among its members and among the people, devotion to the flag and to American institutions and ideal. Its Americanization work has been and is a noble monument to its patriotic devotion. The lamented Major Galbraith, during his administration as commander in brief, accomplished a great work. The chieftaincy of the Legion passes into good hands in the person of Major Emery. He was a gallant fighter in the world war and has and that close sympathy for the former service men which is a goodly asset in heading an organization so important and so influential as the American Legion. COLORADO RIVER IS HELD IN FIRM CONTROL The Colorado River, in its annual summer freshet, is very high and threatening. But reports from the levees indicate that the Imperial Valley is safe from inundation or damage in any measure from the flood. Scientific control seems to have scored another victory. When the great dam which has been projected, to be constructed up at the entrance to the Grand Canyon, has been put in, it should be possible to curb the Colorado suc- REORGANIZATION PLANS TO BE PUSHED President Harding is displaying militancy of spirit in pressing forward plans for scientific reorganization of the executive departments, independent bureaus and commissions of the national government. The President will brook no interference with these plans, by officeholders. Those government officials and employees who do not fall in line for this reform and who do not cooperate to bring about, will be removed from office. Washington reports indicate. If there be bureaucracy in the departments as has been strongly intimated, President Harding is resolved to break it up. He is bent upon keeping his pledge to recognize the government departments and to bring about retrenchment. This attitude will be received with approbation throughout the country. It has been felt that, during the war period, a great army of useless office-holders grew up, and that since hostilities ceased there has not been the needed reduction of forces, consolidations of overlapping bureaus, and general reorganization of the department. COLORADO RIVER IS HELD IN FIRM CONTROL The Colorado River, in its annual summer freshet, is very high and threatening. But reports from the levees indicate that the Imperial Valley is safe from inundation or damage in any measure from the flood. Scientific control seems to have scored another victory. When the great dam which has been projected, to be constructed up at the entrance to the Grand Canyon, has been put in, it should be possible to curb the Colorado successfully, all the time, and to remove the menace of destructive flood from its whole course. This is one of the great benefits which would result from the building of a scientific control dam, as has been planned. In support of this project the whole Southwest should be united and enthusiastic. It would be materially advantageous to this whole section. Conditions are ripe for extensive reclamation of western lands. The tide of immigration is setting in strongly toward the west. Scientific agriculture is advancing.

W. Hellman Bldg. Los Angel IN SANTA ANA: THE ORANGE COUNT THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Society: Clubs: Lodges: Churches RECORD CROWD AT MEETING It was certainly a record crowd that gathered at the home of Mrs. W. T. Wallop on Sugar-ave Thursday afternoon. The Women's Missionary society of the Presbyterian church held their regular monthly meeting. After the president called the meeting to order and the singing of a bymn, Mrs. W. A. Ross led the devotion, having her topic, "The Conservation of Time." At the close Mrs. W. J. Ross sang a solo, "Take Time to be Holy." A short business session followed by the reading of two letters from Mrs. H. S. Hoskins in Syria and from Mr. Gertin of Arizona. Mrs. Wallop reported the last meeting of the Los Angeles Presbyterial. Mrs. H. A. Johnston then introduced Mrs. Robert Clennan, president of the Los Angeles Presbyterial. Her talk was wonderful for its simplicity, its instructiveness and helpfulness. Every lady present said she knew more about mission work and henceforth would do more for the work than ever before. One of the things Mrs. Clellan requested from those present was that they do the little things by which great things are accomplished and that it is not so much what we give as the spirit in which we give it. Mrs. Nellie Down sang a beautiful solo and Mrs. Elsie Aubert closed with prayer. During the social hour tea and cake were served. Officers were glad to have the large number of friends present and hope they will come again. It was a meeting long to be remembered. ENTERTAIN LITTLE FRIENDS The little Misses Betty and Barbara Dunton, assisted by their mother, Mrs. George Dunton, entertained 19 of their little Friends yesterday afternoon. The house and table were decorated with flags and other Fourth of July decorations and looked very charming. The afternoon was spent in playing games after which daly and delicious refreshments were served to the little tots, consisting of ice, cakes, candies and other sweets. The little guests were Edgar Barnes, Marlon Stroup, Lina Schulte, Martha Frances Wellingford, Janet Witman, Wesley Lautenbach, Alice Dorothy and Eva Derry, Edith Spencer, Agnes Fraser Alma Chandler, Treat VOTE ON CLUBHOUSE SITE Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Ebell club rooms, Musonite temple, chairman, Mesdames Wallace, Jeck, Nowotry and Backs Sr. All members are urged to be present Monday afternoon and take a part in the choosing of a lot. STAR WHIST CLUB MEETS The Star whist club met yesterday afternoon at the Masonic temple for its regular monthly meeting. The hostesses for the day were Mrs. Eva Boyd and Mrs. Lybarger. The decorations were sweet peas and the hostesses served dainty light refreshments. The prizes were awarded as follows: Mrs. Sackett first; Mrs. Squire second; Mrs. Probst third; Mrs. William Jackson fourth. There were 20 members present, Mesdames J. A. Clayes, L. Dahlman, H. O. Wereus, C. A. Griggs, H. O. Henderson, Bertha Lacy, John Kellenberger, T. Lyons, C. Pearson, W. O. Quarton, Probat, Squires, A. Schumacher, Sackett, Webb, Colton and Metcalf.

After a chapter meeting, Mrs. Gladys Llewellyn sang "O Promise Me" and "I Love You Truly" after which, to the strains of the wedding march all proceeded to the banquet hall led by the bridal couples. Here light refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Almost 100 members and friends were present. GOLDEN WEST CLUB MEETS Mrs. E. H.'Adams entertained the Golden West club yesterday afternoon at her home at 319 S. Claudina-st. The afternoon was spent in Pueblo has joined the long list of plucky American cities which, when scourged by great disaster of one kind or another have begun immediately to rehabilitate themselves. Reconstruction work in the stricken Colorado city is being brot into shape and relief is being applied effectively and honestly. Mme. Curie does not apprehend what she eats for breakfast, or what she thinks of jazz, or what colors she thinks most becoming blondes and brunettes, has to do with her mission in life. She has not become initiated into the ways and manners of some American interviewers. She is not familiar with saffron journalism. Which is to her credit. Oil supply conditions have become so acute and so disquieting, it behooves the United States to survey the world with extreme care and to hold its own in arranging for future supply in foreign lands. The reserve supply of this country, so far as known, is perilously near exhaustion what with the constantly increasing volume of consumption of petroleum and its products.
