DAILY GREETING TO READERS Foul jealousy! thou turnest love divine To joyless dread, and makest the loving heart With hateful throts, to languish and to pine, And feed itself with self-consuming smart; Of all the passions of the mind, thon vilest art—Spenser. Honest, clean living never produces toothache of the conscience. The battleship California gives promise of being a credit to its name. He is poor indeed who is a millionaire in money but bankrupt in morals. Two things that make home life brighter and sweeter: A baby grand and a grand baby. That disarmament conference should throw a brilliant rainbow athwart the clouds of war. When opportunity knocks, many a man sends indolence to the door to say he is not home. Mr. Bryan has moved to Florida. Does that mean that his political ambitions are swamped permanently? The good old days are returning wherein the buyer can say it with five cents and be heard by the seller. President Harding's leadership is becoming more and more pronounced, in his dealings with congress. President Harding finds a man occasionally who would not be averse to accepting a federal office. Clean, able men of judicious temperament should be on the bench. There is many a misfit jurist in American courts. There is so much good in human nature — so many generous, noble impulses—why dwell upon the ugly repulsive things? Mother Earth may be millions of OPEN AIR SCHOOLS PLAN FOR FRANCE Open air schools, as part of the public school system of France, have been approved by a committee of hygienists and educators. This has been brot about as the result of a conference with the American representative of the French-American union for open air schools. The open air school in the United States, while in the infancy of its development, is proving to be quite beneficial. There are not so many of these schools, however, as there should be. Here in California, in particular, where climatic conditions in all seasons are so favorable, the outdoor school should flourish. The benefits derivable from these open air places of instruction are beyond words. Physically, mentally and morally, boys and girls are stimulated and strengthened by this hygienic provision for their instruction under conditions made to order by Mother Nature, who is a genius mater. NATIONAL PARK GREAT ASSETS TO NATION It is fortunate that, as head of the Department of the Interior, there should be a Western man—Mr. Fall of New Mexico—who, like his distinguished predecessor, the lamented Franklin K. Lane, understands the West and sympathizes with its problems and is keenly alive to its possibilities. For one thing, Secretary Fall appreciates the value of the national parks and is an enthusiast for their development as playgrounds, as was Mr. Lane before him. Secretary Fall, who is on a tour of inspection through the West, has been in the Yosemite, and while there said, in an interview, that "our national parks are worthy of more development than they have received in the past." He went on to say that "people are demanding that these play grounds be made accessible to them, and the government must do its part." Secretary Fall made the observation that "national parks not only are playgrounds, but are a great force for Americanization, as they bring together people into the West from New England and Middle states and acquaint them with our people and our problems." This phase of the influence of the national parks does not receive the attention that it merits. That restlesh has out. Developmentations are not due reasons. But his live treating will senate by the P will become come before ratification.

Clean, able men of judicious temperament should be on the bench. There is many a misfit jurist in American courts. There is so much good in human nature — so many generous, noble impulses—why dwell upon the ugly repulsive things? Mother Earth may be millions of years old, but every spring she comes out in a new dress of green looking like "sweet sixteen." Simplicity is the soul of the truly dramatic. There is no such thing as pomposity, affectation and stiltedness, in a real drama. Surely there is enough deep and safe water in the Pacific ocean for vessels to pass from port to port on this coast without grounding. Solving the problems of the railroads is behind time. But being behind time is not unfamiliar to some of the roads in their train service. A good life is the best preachment. The Sermon on the Mount has its spiritual value because of the life of the Christ which exemplified it. Kidnapping of Father Heslin, Colma priest, is an unspeakably cruel and monstrous crime. Offenses of this kind should be punished capitally. Keep, if possible, the ready pistol out of the hands of the one who is ready to commit murder on slight provocation, or even with no provocation at all. If the people of Illinois, knowing what they do now, could have that last gubernatorial election over again, they no doubt would make a different choice. Uncle Sam will not attempt to dominate the disarmament conference. But he at least can let the conferences know, in a polite way, that it is not to be considered a junketing affair. The administration at Washington is seeking a formula that will reduce the weight of taxation. Lemon juices won't do it. How about treating it with the sweet spirits of retrenchment? If you note something in the East resembling heat lightning, it may be only the vocabulary of General Dawes out taking exercise after expressing opinion of congress and its business methods. Back of that disarmament conferring it the heartiest support, the earnest, undivided influence of the United States govern- PATENTS ARE SOUGHT BY GREAT NUMBERS The World War seems to have stimulated America's inventive talent. More applications for patents have been made than ever before. Indeed, the patent office is flooded. Automobiles and airships lead in the number of patents sought. Wireless and farm machinery also claim the attention of many inventors. America has produced some of the most wonderful of modern inventions. Besides the greater works of inventive genius there have been numberless inventions of a minor nature, but with useful. These may be found all about one, in the ordinary activities of daily life. There is constant advancement in inventions here, and these are of every conceivable nature. The files of the patent office at Washington hold the raw materials for a story of human genius of absorbing interest. EDIT LLkR Bituminous coal mines, east of the Mississippi, are experiencing a period of dullness, some being shut down wholly or working only part time. This is because of very slack demand for coal. Consumers have not formed the habit of purchasing fuel supplies in summer, thus equalizing the demand and keeping the mines going all year. If there were more buying of winter supplies in summer, consumers would not have the hardships and heavier expenses incident to trying to get coal delivered in midwinter, with cold weather prevailing and with such heavy demand that mines and dealers cannot supply it expeditiously. It would be far better, all around, for consumers who are able to do so to put in their winter supply of fuel while dog days yet linger. MINING IN ALASKA TO BE ENCOURAGED. Speeding up and betterment of mining development in Alaska is to be fostered by the United States Bureau of Mines. The far Northwest is being surveyed by federal agents to determine in what manner service best development than they have received in the past." He went on to say that "people are demanding that these play grounds be made accessible to them, and the government must do its part." Secretary Fall made the observation that "national parks not only are playgrounds, but are a great force for Americanization, as they bring together people into the West from New England and Middle states and acquaint them with our people and our problems." This phase of the influence of the national parks does not receive the attention that it merits. That residents of the different sections of the country should seek common outing grounds, makes for intersectional understanding, good will and sympathy, which means greater solidarity of sentiment throughout the Nation, and an intenser patriotism.

A lack of that disarmament conferring it the heartiest support, made the earnest, undivided influence of the United States government would the momentous contagion wholly or in part, it will all meekly any lack of carnessness in the mind of purpose, on the part of States, to make it succeed. If the Pilgrims were to cross the Atlantic under present day conditions they would indeed marvel at the progress of navigation and its safeguards. The Mayflower, 1921 pattern, would cross the Atlantic in as many days as it required weeks for the Pilgrim craft to come across. And what conveniences and luxuries, too, on the ship of today, is compared with the vessels of 300 years ago! When confereces sit around the table of friendly deliberation at Washington, to discuss disarmament and settlement of outstanding problems of the Pacific and Far East, there should be a pervasive influence—a compelling impulse — to hold that conference in session until complete accord has been reached, and until definite, practicable ways and means have been devised to promote the peace and welfare of the world. It is gratifying to note that there is to be an immediate and thorough inquiry into the disaster to the steamship Alaska by federal investigators. Particular attention is to be given to investigation of charges of incompetence on the part of officers. The inquiry should be searching as to human culpability. If there were defects in the navigation of the ship improper order as to the course it should take, it should be ferrested suitable steps taken to prevent a recurrence of such catas- MINING IN ALASKA TO BE ENCOURAGED. Speeding up and betterment of mining development in Alaska is to be fostered by the United States Bureau of Mines. The far Northwest is being surveyed by federal agents to determine in what manner service best may be given for the swifter and better development of Alaskan mining. That there has been serious retarding of mining and agricultural development in Alaska is recognized at Washington. To get at the exact truth about the situation, President Harding has planned to visit Alaska so soon as the situation in Washington will admit to his absence. This more virile activity of the Bureau of Mines probably was instigated by the President. The Pacific West has direct material interest in the development of Alaska's resources. This section benefits therefrom, particularly as to coal. It is hoped that the handicaps to development up there may be removed. FORMAL PEACE SOON IS IN PROSPECT. Substantial progress is being made Washington news indicates, toward the conclusion of treaties of peace between the United States and the Central Powers—Germany, Austria and Hungary. President Harding is desirous of concluding these treaties before the close on disarmament and pacific problems assembles at Washington in November. He wants a clean state for the conference. Wants the world situation clarify and simplified, so far as the United States may contribute to this end. The exact form that the peace treaties are to assume is not apparent. There are certain provisions, however, which are made mandatory under the peace resolution adopted by Congress in July. These preserve inviolate the rights insurmountable to the United States under the Armistice agreement and under the treaties 9 Versailles, Triann, and St. Germaine. But as to detail, THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA the treaties have yet to be worked out. Developments in the negotiations are not disclosed, for prudential reasons. But in due time, the tentative treaties will be submitted to the Senate by the President and the public will become convergent with the terms before ratification is attempted. PEACEFUL EVOLUTION IS RUSSIA'S NEED Russia, following the chaos precipitated by the overthrow of the czar and absolute government, fell into a species of radicalism which, whatever may be the floridly-spoken claims of its protagonist, has not led Russian people into a modern Canaan, by any means. Famine and epidemic prevail over the wide areas and the lamentable breakdown in agriculture and other facilities, is traceable to the general demoralization of the Russian people, politically, socially and economically. In changing from absolutism in government, there has been a swinging too far toward the absolution of sovietism. The Russian people, vast multitudes of whom are ignorant, gullible, without political intelligence or coherence, easily are mired. What they need today is leadership of the right kind—wise, statesmany, unselfish, patriotic. They need leaders free from self-seeking motives; leaders with the sagacity to find ways and means to better the condition of all the people, and with the courage and nobility of heart to use these ways and means with practical effect. Russia would evolve gradually, but steadily, toward real democracy, and toward stability in government and in its economic structure. MAKE THE WAY EASY FOR PLAYING HERE. Southern California has done much to deserve the title of "Playground of the World." It should do more. It should make facilities for playing here all that the most exacting tourists might desire. It is well that this section is dotted over with golf grounds and tennis courts, easily accessible. It is well that there are baseball parks and grounds for athletics of all kinds. It is well that there are public playgrounds and outing places, equipped with just enough to accommodate, and yet replete with native picturesqueness. It is well that there are good roads, leading to and thru scenery as beautiful and as sublime as may be found anywhere on the globe. And in the cities and towns there are means of innocent diversion almost without end. All this is well and good. But of and builder to the original finish. This wonderful solution requires no expert handling, but is rubbed on easily with a cloth, and after it has set for a short time, the finish can be handled without the slightest trace of finger marks; in fact, a handful of dust can be thrown upon it, as soon as applied, without sticking. Furthermore, it is both alkali and alcohol proof. Altho gotten up originally for his own use, the success of the preparation was so great and its merit so apparent to the friends to whom it was shown, that Mr. Moore was beleged with requests for it from all sides to an extent which culminated in the necessity of going into its manufacture on a broad scale in order to take care of the demand which sprung up as motorists came to realize that at last the solution of the problem of keeping up the appearance of their automobile was at hand. NOTE: Any readers of this publication who desire to try this preparation which is known as "Moore's Rub-Varnish" and who cannot secure it from their hardware dealer or garage man, can obtain a supply with full direction from the manufacturers. Moore and Kellar, Box 514, Azusa, Calif. OBJECT TO BATHING IN IRRIGATION CANAL It is a hard, hard life for the boys of the land when the ban goes forth against swimming in irrigation canals, creeks and holes along the river. Just now word is percolating along the banks of the S. A. V. I. company canals to the effect that "you'd better watch out or you'll get pinched." Supt. W. A. Ralph of the company has inserted the following ad in the papers: "Any children caught in bathing in any of the S. A. V. I. company's canals will be subject to arrest and fine. W. A. Ralph, Supt." The Villa Park and El Modena water companies have had an especially hard problem on their hands this summer. A good many irrigators along the foothills have to depend upon their ditches for domestic water. They have a vital interest in keeping the Santiago creek clean and its water unpolluted, for the water they drink comes from the Santiago. the creek has been or will be posted. Posting, however, is not necessary in order to sustain prosecution. The swimmer's hole problem was met by the Boy Scouts camp near the mouth of the Santiago canyon thus making arrangements with the Farmsworth-Rutan ranch for the use of the reservoir. When the boys were instructed by the camp leaders that they must keep out of the creek they kept out. The leaders point with considerable pride to the obedience of the scouts in this matter. Anybody knows that a swimmer's hole in a cool creek on a hot day is a temptation to a boy, and the boy who resists the temptation deserves great credit. The question of public swimming holes along the Santiago has been discussed by Willimin Bathgate of Villa Park, a director of the Serano Water Co. He said that in the future some arrangement might be made for furnishing users of ditch water with pumping plant water, after which the establishment of some real swimmin' holes along the creek would not be objectifiable. MORE PHILADELPHIA MEN BEING RETURNED TO PAYROLLS PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-The C. O. C. has just completed a survey of local industrial conditions which shows in 72 per cent of Philadelphia establishments there is an increase in the number of employees for the month of July, while 8 per cent show no changes. From reports gathered by the C. O. C. manufacturers and business men alike are looking for material improvement in conditions as soon as the summer is over and are making arrangements to increase their payrolls.

E. ABPLANALP, Prop. Corner Center and West Sts. Telephone No. 727 THE PRESIDENT AND BUSINESS, This is taken from an interview with John Wanamaker, who has just passed his eighty-fourth milestone, hale, cherry and optimistic; "What do you think of the business outlook? Mr. Wanahaker was asked. 'Well,' he said, as he perched himself on the edge of his desk. 'I tell you one thing about business. The greatest business man in the United States today is the President. I speak from actual knowledge gained in a day spent with him in the White House. He meets all issues squarely. There is no sidestepping. I feel that we have never had in the White House a man of such wide experience and so capable to meet all the problems that come before him. That fact, fairly considered by all the business men of the country, should bring them great courage as to the future." Mr. Wanamaker, a business man himself, makes a point important for all business men—and, for that matter, everybody—to consider at this time. With business in the dumps; with all the pressing public questions partaking of business; with the fact recognized that only through a revival of business can the people hope for "a happy issue out of all their afflictions," it is of great moment that the man occupying the White House should have a thorough understanding of business and be in sympathy with the best aims of those working to business ends. Mr. Harding fills a large space as successful politician and orator. But he has also had distinct success as a publisher. He put life into a moribund country newspaper, and built it up to exercise state-wide influence, and to assist in his promotion to the highest office in the country. He thus got an insight into business methods and requirements, and has pursued his studios in all the places he has held since. Mr. Wanamaker's point is well taken, and should be widely considered. Washington Star. A SCIENTIFIC Any children caught in bathing in any of the S. A. V. I. company’s canals will be subject to arrest and fine. W. A. Ralph, Supt.” The Villa Park and El Modena water companies have had an especially hard problem on their hands this summer. A good many irrigators along the foothills have to depend upon their ditches for domestic water. They have a vital interest in keeping the Santiago creek creek clean and its water unpolluted, for the water they drink comes from the Santiago. Keeping boys, as well as some who no longer are so young as they used to be, out of the Santiago creek has been well nigh impossible. A zanjero has made frequent trips up and down the creek, and on nearly every trip he finds where a new swimmer’ hole has been dammed off. In order to protect their drinking water supply, the users may institute prosecution. In order to give everybody ample warnings, however.

Ever since the motor car first came into general use, owners have been confronted with the very serious problem of keeping up the outside finish and appearance of their cars. This has resulted in the preparation of many kinds of cleaners and polishes—practically all of which require a great deal of time and labor to apply—and only to catch and hold the dust worse than the original finish, and thus give but temporary results at the best. This condition has resulted in thousands of owners allowing their cars to run down until the original finish was destroyed, after which they were face to face with an expensive painting or varnishing job to bring it back for but a short period. Realizing from his personal experience the woeful inability of the polishes in general use, to produce more than temporary results, an expert finisher in Azusa, Cal., Mr. C. Moore, formerly of Anabeim, after experimenting, finally a rub-varnish which any can easily apply himself, permanently preserve the finish of an automobile highly-finished.
