DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing, anxious spirit e'er resigned— Left the warm precincts of the general day, Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind?—Gray. Prison is the place for the reckless speeder. California might have ten times its present population and yet not be overcrowded. Go on with the boosting! Put courage and nimbleness into your dollar and send it forth into general circulation to be a blessing to the body politic. Reopening of the public schools is a notable feature of national life in September. The grand army of 20,000,000 boys and girls enrolled in the schools of the United States come back to active duty after their summer furlough. It is an inspiring spectacle. The Harding administration is confronted with a task of gigantic proportions in shaping the fiscal policies of the government. The people should co-operate and there should be no captious, politically inspired criticism. This might problem should be worked out without the injection of politics into it; This should be made the liveliest autumn and winter in the business history of California. It can be made so if each and every one does his or her wise and proper part. There must be—there should be—liberaluying, as in normal times. Conditions justify this. And if the people pay generously and judiciously, the untains of prosperity will be open and all the people will benefit from the outflowing streams. The country surely needs circulating dollars—dollars that are investusefully; dollars that are spent deliciously for seasonable necessar; dollars that are not hoarded arsonally or greedily; dollars that for the means of acquiring this knowledge lie all about the boys and girls of today, not possible in the days of their grandparents. There are good newspapers on every hand; There are good magazines; there are good books, with public libraries accessible to all; there are lectures on current events; there are motion pictures of current events. The ways and means of keeping informed on these things are legion. The youths of America are recurrent in not keeping right up to the minute in knowledge about the important affairs of this and other countries. GOVERNMENT CREDITS FOR FARMERS NOW The American farmer and stock grower is to receive the financial aid which has been and is needed acutely. The United States government is to extend credits up to the grand total of approximately $1,000,000. This is to be done under direction of the War Finance Corporation pursuant to recent legislation by Congress. The good effects of this hardly could be overestimated. To be able to avail himself of a comfortable reserve of fluid cash assets should enable the average farmer to expand his operations, to provide machinery and equipment and to meet the costs of a larger operation in soil cultivation. This will mean the expending of vast aggregate sums, and this distributing of money, in farm disbursements, will add materially to the golden streams of prosperity which seem to be in prospect for the country. To give the farmer his fair opportunity to be active and to extend his operations means a general stimulus to economic betterment through but the country. BIRTHS INCREASING IN FRANCE Good news comes from France. Cupid and Hymen are doing a rush-business. And the stork is outdoor itself. Official figures from Paris show that the number of marriages in France has doubled and the number of births has increased, while fewer deaths were registered in 1920 than in 1913, the last full year of peace. The excess of births over deaths, in 1920, was 159,790, as... The country sorely needs circulating dollars—dollars that are investable usefully; dollars that are spent diligently for seasonable necessaries; dollars that are not hoarded arsomely or greedily; dollars that are sent forth to set the wheels of industry to moving and to fill the nation's cornucopia to overflowing. Buy! Build! Invest in developmental enterprise! Put your dollars to work for the public good and for your own good! The controversy in portions of the mining region of West Virginia which has led to so much bloodshed and bitterness, should not be permitted to drag along indefinitely without effort to effect a permanent settlement by removing the causes of friction and irritation. Violence, of course, cannot be tolerated. But if the miners have just grievances, these should be investigated and relief should be given in whatever form or measure the facts and conditions may warrant. The situation should not be left as an armed truce, with likelihood of additional bloody outbreaks at any time. Exceedingly pleasing is report, by the State Board of Health, that the death rate from tuberculosis in California during 1920 was the lowest in the history of the state. Nearly one fourth of the 5397 persons who died of this malady within the year had lived in California a lesser period than ten years and 10 per cent of them had been in California a shorter time than one year. Which proves what so often is set forth by those familiar with the situation here, that comparatively few cases of tuberculosis originate in this state, but that a large percentage comes with afflicted persons from other states. LEAGUE OF NATIONS YET FUNCTIONING The Assembly of the League of Nations, meeting for the second time at Geneva, is preparing to cope with several problems of great import affecting international relations. The United States, not being a member of the League, is represented only by observers, not by official representatives. But while the United States has not joined the League, it would be erroneous to regard this nation as being hostile to the League as now composed, or to its objects. The attitude of this country is hard to define so that foreigners may grasp it. The chief objection raised in the United States to the covenant of the League of Nations, were to those provisions which would bind—or seem so if each and every one does his or her wise and proper part. There must be—there should be—liberal buying, as in normal times. Conditions justify this. And if the people ay generously and judiciously, the untains of prosperity will be open and all the people will benefit on the outflowing streams. BIRTHS INCREASING IN FRANCE Good news comes from France, Cupid and Hymen are doing a rushing business. And the stork is outdoor itself. Official figures from Paris show that the number of marriages in France has doubled and the number of births has increased, while fewer deaths were registered in 1920 than in 1913, the last full year of peace. The excess of births over deaths, in 1920, was 159,790, as compared with 58,914 in 1913. Marriages in 1920 in France totaled 623,868, compared with 312,036 in 1913. These gains, despite the fact that the population of France was decreased by millions by losses in the World War, signify a very gratifying population growth in the republic. Sociologists, before the World War began, were almost despairing of the perpetuation of the French race, because of the low birth rate in that republic. But these figures indicate the dawn of better days for France. America's foreign trade has decreased very materially. But the balance is hugely in this country's favor. The decrease was to be expected, in view of the after-war derangement and depression. As economic readjustment and rehabilitation become more pronounced in this country and overseas, American exports and imports should increase and this country's foreign trade doubtless will mount to new high levels. La Habra Items LA HABRA, Sept. 9.—Mr. and Mrs. George Hilbert were delightfully surprised Monday when Mr. and Mrs. Garrell Moseman called on them. The Moseman's were en route to Los Angeles by motor from Highland, Ill. The two families had not met for many years and the visit was a very pleasant one. The visitors are charmed with this part of the state and think strongly of locating here. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Salvin and children of Huntington Park, were holidays guests of the Walter Hole's at their ranch north of La Habra. On Sunday the party motored to Balboa and Newport Beaches for an outing of a couple of days. The Ladies' aid of the Methodist church were hostesses to the Brotherhood on Tuesday evening at dinner. There were seventy-five present to do justice to the famous cooking of these women. The proceeds will swell the mite-box of the aid. Many La Habralans were visitors to the Anaheim Labor Day festivities. Among those present were Mrs. T. D. Linsey and sons and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Newton and children and Mrs. C. Chapman. As the time draws near when school opens the parties to the beach and mountains for a last opting are many. The United States, not being a member of the League, is represented only by observers, not by official representatives. But while the United States has not joined the League, it would be erroneous to regard this nation as being hostile to the League as now composed, or to its objects. The attitude of this country is hard to define so that foreigners may grasp it. The chief objection raised in the United States to the covenant of the League of Nations were to those provisions which would bind—or seem to bind—this country to mix up in the political affairs of Europe and distant lands and to send armed forces, if necessary, to enforce the decrees of the League of Nations. The United States traditionally is opposed to allying itself entanglingly with foreign powers. But should the League of Nations undertake any work which should meet the approval of the government and people of the United States, such work doublessly would be endorsed and encouraged by this country. The forthcoming conference in Washington, it is to be hoped, may evolve a compacting of nations upon terms and conditions acceptable to these United States and the participant powers which may absorb the League of Nations and carry on the work of preserving just peace and of reducing armaments throughout the world. KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT EVENTS LACKING That college, high school and grammar school students of the United States are startlingly deficient in knowledge of current events is the conclusion drawn from a test among 200,000 young American students by the Review of Reviews. The questions proposed were fair and simple, without the "catch" quality which makes many so-called tests unfair and objectionable. But of the 17,500 students answering, the average was only 44 per cent of correctness. The questions referred to men, places and issues frequently mentioned in the newspapers and magazine press, and some of the issues are important in the life of the nation. This shallowness and defectiveness of knowledge of current events deplorable. It is inexcusable, too. The Ladies' aid of the Methodist church were hostesses to the Brotherhood on Tuesday evening at dinner. There were seventy-five present to do justice to the famous cooking of these women. The proceeds will swell the mite-box of the aid. Many La Habralans were visitors to the Anaheim Labor Day festivities. Among those present were Mrs. T. D. Linsey and sons and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Newson and children and Mrs. C. Chapman. As the time draws near when school opens the parties to the beach and mountains for a last opting are many. Mrs. F. W. Taylor was down for a few hours Tuesday from Mount Baldy and returned again. The Taylors are building a cabin at this resort. Miss Theretta Taylor, Wilbur Proud and Alfred Catlin are with Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. J. H. Walker, Mrs. Suan Walker and Price Walker, have just returned from a week's outing at Big Bear. The A. N. Douglass and A. H. Johnson's were holiday campers at Santa Ana canyon. Grant Sherman took a party of Standard Oil men to Big Bear Tuesday. Those in the party were: Paul Wilber and W. Loney from Huntington Beach, and A. S. Brown from here. A severe accident occurred to mar the happiness of the family reunion of a number of La Habrarians when Ruth Esterbrooke fell from the slide in the playground at Orangeco park and hurt her back. She was taken to the Anaheim hospital, and at last reports she was resting easily. Will Chinese Eggs Hatch Scotch Chicks? SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9. Heavy importations of Chinese eggs were predicted today following the discovery of a crate of eggs aboard the Japanese liner Persia Maru, every third egg, in which contained Scotch whisky. Officers thought they may have discovered the reason why importations of Chinese eggs have doubled since 1919. For store entrances a Californian has invented a combined screen and glazed door so mounted on an overhead track that either can be used to suit weather conditions. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads.

Attempt To Increase Garage Efficiency The effort of the Calif., Auto Trades Assn., to increase efficiency of repair shops and garages and thus reduce the prices to ultimate consumers is bearing fruit all over the state. During the war and the period immediately after the signing of the armistice, the demand for motor mechanics and repair men was so great that men who knew little about repairing motor cars found it was easy to secure jobs as first-class mechanics. Since that time there has been a weeding, out of most of these unfitted men, and the workers now realize that they must know what they are doing or they will not be allowed to handle autos or repair them. "Reports from secretary-managers from all parts of the state indicate that mechanics are becoming more and more efficient and complaints of poor work fewer," says Robert W. Martland secretary-manage of the state association. "The effort of the Calif., Auto Trades Assn., has always been directed to making better business men of the firms now in the automotive industry and cut down the mortality rate in our line of trade."
