BEST URBITING TO OVER HEADERS A swetched soul, bound with adversity. We bid be eager when we hear it cry! But while we burdened with like weight of pride. At much or more, we should survive complete—shattering. Good feeling and friendly cooperation between the Duet; States and Great Britain, should be promoted, for the mutual interests of the two nations and for the good of the world. The west should take the lead in building its rivers, thus developing a lake-flooding Missing; Prevention of deposition floods; impounding of water for extensive irrigation; and development of high-electric power. President Harding is consistently attaining for international disarmament. But he officially is keeping a snicker-snake up his sleeve to brandish over any laggards or obstructionists who may become complicous in Congress. Things on this hemisphere will not be as they should be—and the United States earnestly hopes they soon will be—until Mexico is as peaceful and as cordial neighbor to this country as in the Dominion of Canada. The Harding administration is impressing the country with its sincere purpose to help people things—to fulfill Pledge made in the Presidential campaign. Good headway is made toward redeeming the more important of these promises. Approximate cleaning of baseball, Bain Bath frequently waits until there is motion or two batter on first, second or third, then with a home run, he cleans up the bases. The onlookers get much joy out of seeing this kind of cleanup in the game. Friendly cooperation is to be the hope of the future, in individual community and international relations. There can be no such thing in this narrower world age, as individual looseness. MR. WILSON MIGHT ACT AS ADVISOR Now that the holding of the disarmament and Pacific-problems conference, proposed by President Harding, is definitely assured, conjecture turns to the prospective personnel of the conference. It is assured that Great Britain and France will send their respective premiers and other renowned statesmen. Italy and Japan probably will do likewise. Washington dispatches indicate that Secretary Hughes will head the American representatives in the conference. Elthu Root probably will be a member. William Jennings Bryan has been mentioned as a possible confederate. He and President Harding are warm personal friends and are known to hold views in common on some phases of foreign relations and post-war settlements and compacts. It would be gracious and a good stroke of policy on the part of President Harding to name a Democrat and publicist to eminent as Mr. Bryan to a place on the conference delegation. Woodrow Wilson, now a private citizen, but only a short time ago the most conspicuous figure in all the world, with good grace on the part of his successor in the White House, might be asked to serve an honorary advisor, but not as active voting member of the American delegation. This not only would be generous, chivalrous recognition of Mr. Wilson's arduous efforts to bring about lasting world peace, but his advice on some points to come before the conference might prove to be of great value. If he were invited to sit in honorary advisory capacity, this gracious set would be approved through America and the Allied countries.

Bain Roth frequently waits until there is an or two batter on first, second or third, then with a home run, he cleans up the bases. The onlookers get much joy out of seeing this kind of cleanup in the game. FRIENDLY cooperation is to be the harbors of the future, in individual community and international relations. There can be no such thing in this narrower world age, as individual isolation. There is a neighborhood that cannot be separated. Nothing in connection with that disarmament conference should serve partisan politics. The subject matters to be discussed are too transcendently important to be petty-fied by politics. It is to be hoped that President Harding will appoint both Republicans and Democrats to the delegation to represent U.S. in the conference. Hard work and good management of earnings practiced by all the people constitute the best remedy for economic depression. Millions are out of work. It is true, and the vast army of involuntary non-producers entails a vexing problem. Not only are they sufferers from this enforced silence, but the whole country is affected detrimentally. Uncle Sam's venture in mercantile shipping has been costly. It is to be hoped that the reorganized Shipping Board may retrieve the failures and losses of the near past. Application of sound business principle, under guidance of experienced and expert shipping man, should bring the operations of the merchant fleet to a better basis. Should Premier Lloyd George come in person to the projected disarmament conference in Washington, he will be a very interesting figure to Americans. Whatever criticisms may be made of his political method's he in Europe's greatest statesman and one of the most renowned figures in statecraft developed anywhere in the world during the World war period. INTREPID HAWKER DIES IN AIR TRAGEDY The world will long remember and admire Harry G. Hawker. The brave aviator came to a terrible end over a flying field in England. His airplane caught fire and he was burned horribly and mangled in the fall. It was in May, 1915, that Hawker and his navigator, Lieut-Commander Grieve, essayed for the first time in the history of aeronautics, an air-ship flight across the Atlantic. The circumstances readily are recalled by newspaper readers. Putting off from St. Johns, Newfoundland, Hawker and Grieve were missing and "dead to the world" for six days. When the little Danish steamer Mary flashed the news to the world that the two aviators had been rescued in mid-Atlantic, there were thrills on both sides of the Atlantic. Hawker and Grieve, forced to alight when about 1000 miles out from Newfoundland, were rescued almost miraculously by the little craft that Providence threw near them. Strange irony of fate that Hawker should escape the perils of the stoffy air and the raging Atlantic sea, to meet his death at last in quiet precincts of an English aviation field! It impresses the truth of the old couplet: The earthquake may be bid to spare The man that's strangled by a hair. Hawker's feat was bold to the point of daredevility. But so was the first voyage of Columbus. After Hawker came bitter and more successful flights across the Atlantic, demonstrating conclusively that the stormy ocean has been conquered by airships, as well as surface ships. Harry Hawker's name will go down in history alongside other intrepid pioneering adventurers. G. & L. Lease G. AND L. LEASE, July 19.

Center St. Annaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA AUTO CLUB STATES OVER 1.4 CAL ROADS NEED REBUILDING Nearly All Roads Shorter Lived Than the Bonds That Will Pay for Them Additional facts showing the failure of state highways at specific points were made public yesterday by the Auto Club of So. Calif. It is charged by the Club that more than one-fourth of the state's roads are already in need of reconstruction and that virtually all the roads are shorter lived than the bonds that will pay for them. Since the publication of the report of the investigation by the engineering departments of the Club, the Calif., State Auto Assn., and county engineering departments, a report has been issued by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads corroborating in all essential points the findings of the club engineers. The club has now completed further investigations and specifically describes several state highways with definite information as to their condition and photographic evidence of cruising pavement. In its statement the club says: "The Auto Club of So. Calif, with nearly 57,000 members, participated in a thorough investigation of the state highways in conjunction with the Calif. State Auto Assn., and county engineers. Its purpose was to protect the $72,000,000 state highway bond investment to the end that the people might get dollar for dollar value for their money in good roads. "The investigation and report were designed to be helpful and constructive. The findings of eminent engineers were placed at the disposal of the State Highway Commission. Because of the failure of the State Highway Commission to cooperate in the correction of disastrous conditions and in the adoption of a definite plan of construction, the Auto Club feels that it is its duty to make public these additional facts of State failure." failure in this section has not only entailed great expense in making repairs but traffic has been seriously inconvenienced and many accidents have occurred. The road was opened to traffic May 12, 1916. The total cost was $19,677.29 per mile and the bond interest charges amount to $722.11 per mile for an approximate average bond life of 20 years. The section has been in service five years at an annual upkeep cost of $1114 per mile. During the first half of 1920 there was spent for general maintenance $20,297.55 and for one mile of reconstruction $20,249 and including annual interest, the cost per mile in 1920 for maintenance and reconstruction was $4,519 exclusive of depreciation. In spite of costly repairs and reconstruction, 10 to 15 miles of this road is yet in poor condition and the combined efforts of two maintenance crews are not sufficient to keep them in good condition. When it is considered that this section is typical of approximately 50 percent of the entire system the gravity of the situation from the standpoint of those who use the roads and the people who pay for them is apparent. The initial failure of this road was brought about by a deflection of the slab to such an extent that the concrete broke. Lack of adequate preparation in preparing the foundation was responsible for the breaking of the surface. Marked instances of failure are to be found along the highway which extends from Universal City to Springville, traversing the San Fernando Valley, Conejo district and the Santa Clara Valley. This is one of the first roads built by the State Highway Commission and is 46.6 miles long. The total first cost was $770,196 or $16,528 per mile with interest charges to July 1 of $216,654. The maintenance and reconstruction to July, 1921, amounted to $206,856, giving a total cost, according to state board figures of $1,292,706. Estimating reconstruction and general maintenance to July, 1921, the total cost is $1,267,708 or $28,662 per mile. In addition to repairs computed ten miles are now under reconstruction.
