Speaking of wanton waste of words, there are the men who undertake to persuade women to dress according to sensible rules, rather than style. California is drawing unto itself an admirable type of permanent residents. This state always has had reason to be proud of the quality of its citizenry. Here's to William Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the United States, who has reached the height of his ambition and millions of his countrymen are glad of it! Wouldn't it simplify the situation greatly if the actors and actresses engaged in screen work did their own moral housecleaning, and if the producers filmed only pictures which inherently are inoffensive to the moral sense of the community? Many of those who violate the 18th amendment by buying and drinking adulterated poison are ceasing to be a problem. When a man lies down to his long sleep in the cemetery, the one and only problem that he leaves behind, as to his physical self, is that of arranging for perpetual care of his grave. ADMINISTRATION IS USING TACT ABROAD The administration at Washington is endeavoring to stay the enactment of legislation that might arouse antagonism in the countries which are to participate in the conference on limitation of armaments. To this end, the White House would like to see tariff legislation. Panama-Canal free tolls and legislation abrogating treaties to make the merchant marine law effective, go over until after the great conference has done its most important work. It is realized by official Washington that it would be difficult to bring about a good understanding if the big powers which are to be represented in the conference were rubbed the wrong way—so to speak—by Congress legislation traversing the commercial interests of these participating powers. By staying the legislative hand at Washington, the American delegation to the conference would be able to "trade" on this prospective legislation, to obtain concessions on the points which will be pressed before the conference. No harm would come from a brief delay in putting through this legislation. Much good might come from it. New York Letter There is nothing more sentimental than a New Yorker in spite of his carefully assumed boredom. Take the case of William Campbell, who fost an arm during a tumultuous period as strike-breaker in the west. He had only to acquire a battered hat and a tin coffee-can with a slot in the top to earn $20 an evening. The rattle of the coins already in the can, the weary plea for "the ex-service boys," and the much admired girl, who attempts—and finally succeeds—in "having a good husband and being a good wife," the prayer she made after some seasons of flirting and frivolity. That does not sound unusual and the idea is not. But the excellence with which it is done is exceptional and lifts the picture from beyond the commonplace. Helene Chadwick as Phoebe, the wife, is delightful, and Richard Dix as second class matter.

Cunning New York Letter There is nothing more sentimental than a New Yorker in spite of his carefully assumed boredom. Take the case of William Campbell, who lost an arm during a tumultuous period as strike-breaker in the west. He had only to acquire a battered hat and a tin coffee-can with a slot in the top to earn $20 an evening. The rattle of the coins already in the can, the weary plea for "the ex-service boys," and the sight of that empty sleeve verb irresistible to the theatre crowds. After a highly profitable season, Campbell's activities were brot to a close, and when he was arraigned in court, he had $19½, the proceeds of $5 minutes among the Saturday night pleasure-seekers. The city authorities try to persuade us to give through regularly organized charities, but we are too sentimental for that, and we're just as easy as before we ever heard a subway guard chant "Wa-chur-step"; though we never admit it back home. Columbus day got one practical bit of observance here. We washed Christopher himself all up bandonsely. The statue of our discoverer which stands in Columbus Circle has shed its weather-beaten gray exterior and stands forth in almost dazzling whiteness. Men have been scrubbing it for several weeks now and after a week or two more of elbow work, Columbus will look as though he juts stepped out of the Metropolitan Museum. Whatever difficulties some of our best writers have when they essay the motion picture field, Rubert Hughes certainly doesn't encounter them. He turns out human, dramatic successes with real comedy in them, just as he does in his novels. "Dangerous Curve Ahead," just showing in New York, is his most proof of this. "It is the story of the marriage of a popular, pretty much admired girl, who attempts—and finally succeeds—in 'having a good husband and being a good wife,' the prayer she made after some seasons of flirting and frivolity. That does not sound unusual, and the idea is not. But the excellence with which it is done is exceptional and lifts the picture from beyond the commonplace. Helene Chadwick as Phoebe, the wife, is delightful, and Richard Dix is perfect as the husband. Lefty Flynn is seen as "the other man" and the stately Kate Lester is a true grand dame of an aunt. Undoubtedly much of the success of the picture is due to the acting and producing, but it took Rupert Hughes to give them all their unalloyed opportunity to make it so good. Children are imaginative as well as literal. An ambitious boy in the New York public schools had been to a vaudeville performance recently where trained animals were featured. A few days after that Dr. John Enright, the new commissioner of education in New Jersey, was visiting this boy's school and in finding out how Manhattan's youths differed from those across the Hudson, he asked the class what it wanted an education for. Up shot the theater-goer's had. "Well, my boy." Dr. Enright asked, "What do you want an education for?" "For my dog" was the unhesitating response. When the tax books for 1922 were opened the other day by the department of taxes and assessments, they showed a total estimation of real and personal property in this city of over ten and one half billion. (It seems it mean more written that way than put down in such a lengthy array of numerals.) Real estate had increased in value 440 million since one year ago. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad.

Asked if he were seeking material for stories, Chalmers stated that a writer was always seeking such material, but added that a long residence in a locality is necessary before one is content to write of it. "The tripper" who spends a few days in the strange and exotic atmosphere of the out-of-the-way portions of the world and then immediately writes it all into a story, is only nature faking," he stated. He added that the life he will live and the experiences he hopes to gain in Honolulu may not be embodied in a book of tales for many years, as he is only now using the stored-up material gained from experiences a number of years ago. One of the hustling pastors of Fullerton the other day, was prevailed upon to give out the following interesting figures concerning his personal activities during one church year. Preached 104 sermons, received 218 men and women into his church, preached six funeral sermons, delivered eight popular addresses, one baccalaureate and one graduating address, married five couples, attended 48 prayer meetings, delivered 48 bible lectures, attended scores of religious and secular conferences, made several hundreds of calls on members, ministered to sick and dying, and held office in two civic organizations having for their object the betterment of the city. People who have the idea that being the head of a big and busy country church is a sincerely may now proceed to revise their opinion. E. A. Beard, local manager of the Pac. Tel. & Tel. Co., is building up a fine pack of foxhounds. Starting with three grown dogs, he has recently been presented with two litters totaling 15 pups. Not a one of them is for sale, says Beard. They are full-blooded Walker strain. Beard got his first dogs from W. P. Cunninghain, millionaire ollman. WHERE ORANGE BLOSSOMS NESTLE Some may crave a castle placed high upon a hill; Some a city palace, ambition to fulfill Some must build on rocky cliff, in sight and sound of sea; Some want a mansion anywhere that home may chance to be. But, where orange-blossoms nestle Mid leaves of shimmering green, With golden fruit reflected Within their satiny sheen; With nisles of brown earth stretching As far as eye may rove, I'd have a little cottage in The heart of an orange grove. Others like a little shack within the timber tail; Still others rove the desert and crave no home at all; Some pitch a tent on trailless veldt, or hut mid ice and snow; Log cabin in the sunny south is home to some, I know. But, where orange-blossoms nestle Mid leaves of shimmering green, With golden fruit reflected With nisles of brown earth stretching As far as eye may rove, I'd have a little cottage in The heart of an orange grove. Though buried in the mountains or facing city street, What matter if the place called home spells happiness complete? But tent or cabin; mansion, hut— That may the heart inspire; A little vine-draped cottage would fill my heart's desire. — Isabel Muir Sheperd; Anaheim. ATTEMPT TO MAKE BARDEN PRODUCTION Palette Hills For more than a week a concerned effort was made to make Palette No. 1 a producing well. Drenched 30 feet and all the new in oil sand the well was expected to materialize. It may be no easy to go on and deepen again. Satisfied that the big productions below the present depth of Palette No. 1 now drilling at 4025 feet is allowing its first encouragement. Gas was struck at 4010 and timed to the present depth outlook for the well is not good. Believing that there is a possibility in store for International Petroleum the backers of the company are making an appeal for financial aid to continue drilling. Some feet of hole has been made only about $20,000 expended on well. Drilling at 3900 feet the Maill-Oil and Gas Co.'s No. 1 is shown the greatest amount of gas yet well not under actual production any wild cat ever drilled in So.

They are full-blooded Walker strain. Beard got his first dogs from W. P. Cunningham, millionaire oilman of Beverly Hills. Cunningham is a typical oldtime Missouri grower. Foxhounds always come first with him. If he's in the middle of a big oil deal and someone mentions hounds, Cunningham is off to the hunt immediately. An oil deal can always wait but a fox chase can't. Walter A. Dyer, of West Orange, originator of the cannonball watermelon, is going to quit raising watermelons. After thirty years of it he is retiring. He will grow a few in the garden for use in the home, but there will be none for the market. "My trees are too big to grow melons between the rows," said Dyer. Dyer has one of the biggest melons at the county fair. It was of the cannon ball variety, and it weighed 45 pounds. Thirty years ago on his ranch at West Orange, Dyer observed in his melon patch a vine that grew a bound melon with thin skin and a solid red meat. From this vine he saved the largest, and it was not a very large melon at that. It was no 60 Gravity gasoline 22c.

It was a white-seeded variety. The seed was planted, and from the next crop Dyer saved the seed of the best melons. Finally he had enough need for a fire acre patch. He named this melon the Macabee. It made a real hit in the melon markets. From that patch went forth melons to other growers, who saved seed and planted, and in two or three years the round watermelon was scattered far and wide. Somebody fancied the name cannonball, and applied it to the melon. Some of the seed houses seized the melon and have applied various names to it, including the name Chilean. Crosses have brought oh black seeded and brown seeded melons of the same general character. But Dyer has grown watermelons year after year, saving each year the seed of the biggest and best, with the result that this year he was able to produce a 45-pound watermelon with a family vine that reaches directly back to the small round melon he spied in his patch thirty years ago.
