DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Oh, what, without our youth, Would love be?—what would youth be without love? Youth lends it joy, and sweetness, vigor, truth, Heart, soul, and all that seems as from above. —Byron. That conference on limitation of armaments, be it remembered, is not a masquerade party. When Marshall Foch comes, Miss Columbia might unbend her dignity somewhat and kiss him on both cheeks. It is going to be hard on some of the boys to live from the end of the world's series to the opening of the regular baseball season, next spring. It seems well assured that this country is not in peril of a coal famine this winter. Which is something good in the general situation to ponder. If they have, on the moon, vegetable gardens which come up, fruit and then pass away, all within one lunar day, equal to two terrestrial weeks, that certainly is outwitting the cutworms and potato-bugs. These garden pests just about get started to gather momentum in two weeks. America's course in the World War convinced all mankind that this country's aloofness heretofore in foreign affairs did not arise from cowardice or lack of strength. The whole world marveled at the bower of this Nation, once the leashes of repression were broken. There was a time here in the West when a man, growing desperate and bent upon committing suicide, accomplished his purpose by stealing a horse, the infuriated posse with a lively rope doing the rest. But nowadays the would-be suicide might reach the same goal by stealing an BASEBALL INTEREST IS HOLDING WELL Organized baseball has held interest well, throut the country, this year. The game has come back into popular favor after the temporary jolt given it by revelations of crookedness among certain players in the major leagues and in the Pacific coast league. It was realized by friends of this superb sport that it could not hold the confidence and the patronage of the public unless the corruption was winnowed out of it. Consequently, there was a drastic housecleaning, and baseball this year started anew with honesty and clean playing in evidence all around. The people have responded to this sincere attempt to make the game clean and square. Throwing dishonest players overboard and breaking up gambling in baseball parks, have been effectual in restoring the game to the favor and interest of the public. MAKE NO ENGAGEMENTS THAT ENTANGLE Report to the London Times by its special correspondent in Paris to the effect that some of the French publicists are proposing that France should, in the conference on limitation of armaments, tender its support to the U.S. in the solving of Pacific problems in return for the American support for France over problems in Europe. This is of deep interest on this side of the Atlantic. Such a proposal may be or may not be made in the conference. It is to be hoped that it will not be made in this form. This savors too much of trading sordidly upon the historic friendship between the U.S. and France. Far better would it be for France to stand by the U.S. in these things, not to drive a bargain, but because the attitude New York Letter Personally, we're delighted with the census figures. They prove we're in style. We work. So does 48 per cent of Manhattan Island, and 45 per cent of Greater New York. (Of course that doesn't include wives and mothers who just stay at home and cook and sew and things like that. No one considers that they work.) It means that 48 per cent of us leave our homes and go out into the cold world to earn a living or stay at home with a typewriter or paint brush and make something to sell outside. There are 2,531,637 of us here all on the job. When you see as at the剧院 and restaurants, you can be sure that most of us have worked hard for the rare lobster. And then when you do consider those housewives and the children, you realize that very little lofting is done around New York. The story about the shoe-maker's children going shoeless was always sad enough. But when the law steps in and prevents a tailor from pressing his own clothes, it is almost tragic. Benjamin Minken lives in the rear of his store at 115 Buffalo-ave, Brooklyn. Therefore when he prepared to be all dressed up for church, it was the natural thing for him to carry his own trousers into the front room on Sunday morning and use his good, heavy iron on them. He was arrested for impairing the peace of the day, because it was in his tailor shop that he was doing the work. "Your honor," urged Mr. Minken, "I am so busy pressing other people's clothes six days in the week, that I can't get to my own until Sunday. I didn't know it was against the law for a man to do that. My wife might darn her own stockings on Sunday, mightn't she?" Magistrate Dooley agreed with him that a law against that would be too blue indeed. The most sensitive financial institution in the country hardly feels currents of prosperity and money tightness more quickly than do philanthropical institutions. That is the cheering thing about the reports of the Y. W. C. A finance workers who are here in conference from all over the country. They have brot a definite optimism regarding the financial pick-up for which we've all been peering so eagerly into the future. The Y. W., along with other civic and charitable associations, has felt the recent money tightness in its heart as well as its pocketbook. Girls whose jobs just vanished into the general sea of retrenchment and girls who never had jobs but must get them now be port to the U.S. in the solving of Pacific problems in return for the American support for France over problems in Europe. This is of deep interest on this side of the Atlantic. Such a proposal may be or may not be made in the conference. It is to be hoped that it will not be made in this form. This savors too much of trading sordidly upon the historic friendship between the U.S. and France. Far better would it be for France to stand by the U.S. in these things, not to drive a bargain, but because the attitude of the U.S. is righteous and suitable. Banking in California is especially sound, progressive and thriving. Californians have implicit confidence in their banks, and they back their faith by rolling up immense aggregate deposits. The most sensitive financial institution in the country hardly feels currents of prosperity and money tightness more quickly than do philanthropical institutions. That is the cheering thing about the reports of the Y. W. C. A finance workers who are here in conference from all over the country. They have brot a definite optimism regarding the financial pick-up for which we've all been peering so eagerly into the future. The Y. W. along with other civic and charitable associations, has felt the recent money tightness in its heart as well as its pocketbook. Girls whose jobs just vanished into the general sea of retrenchment and girls who never had jobs but must get them now because of their fathers and brothers and husbands being out of work have all been turning to the Y. W. for aid. The association is helping them to find positions as rapidly as possible and enabling many of them to live decently in the meantime. At the same time, it has been having greater difficulty in obtaining funds with which to carry on even as in normal times. The workers gathered here, however, who are mostly secretaries and chairmen of their local branches, are confident now that even though there will still be difficulties ahead, the way is beginning to brighten somewhat and the strain to lighten. The girls won't all find work right away, but there is a prospect of more money to help out in the meantime, the workers believe; and when that condition arrives, it is never very long before jobs develop, too. Vassar Alumnae are displaying with pride the valued yellow telegram that came to them here at national headquarters the day that their salary endowment campaign opened. It is dated "The White House" and signed by Warren G. Harding, and it reads: "My sister, a former Vassar student, has called my attention to your salary endowment fund campaign and I must express my interest and hopes for its success. The assurance of adequate compensation to teachers is an important contribution to developments of our educational system, peculiarly necessary at this time." One never gets too old to make matrimonial mistakes. Mrs. Rebecca Hay Rose, 71 years old, appeared before the supreme court justice the other day to ask an annulment of her marriage on the ground that her husband was lazy. She testified that she discovered this fault as soon as the ceremony had been performed. And one would almost think that even a husband would have the right to be lazy at 71. I've been all my life looking to that age just for that purpose! We realize that we are the Mecca of the United States—at least we say we are—but not often, if that does, we have Wanted: Girl Scout Leaders HERE is the sturdy young war worker chafing now because of inactivity? Where is her younger sister, bemoaning the fate that let her come of age just too late to find anything of interest to do? Where is the college girl who has not taken up a career? Where is the professional woman who has a few hours to spare? Mrs. Herbert Hoover, of the Executive Board of the Girl Scouts, wants to know, for she has a need for thousands of such young women. Mrs. Hoover did much real Scouting in the West in days long before the idea of gathering young Scouts together in any sort of organization had been dreamed of in this country. She has been interested in the work of the Girl Scout movement ever since its beginning and now she is participating in the practical side of the Girl Scout organization. In an interview given out at National Headquarters, 189 Lexington Avenue, New York, recently, Mrs. Hoover said: "A good Scout is a good woman more than half made. But the Girl Scouts need competent leaders, without which they are exactly like so many little children paddling alone in a pool, with no swimmer for them to imitate and with no one to coach from the bank." "The Girl Scouts are knocking on the post at the door of the Scout tent more rapidly than they can be supplied with Captains. And we want as a Scout leader the girl who, if she knew what Scouting is, would wish that she might have had the opportunity to follow it ten years ago; and who would want to make up for what she missed by helping many younger girls to have it today. "Where are these attractive, jolly, high-minded girls and women over 70 who will devote some hours a week to their little sisters and cousins? Here is a service for such a girl. It will mean much for the promotion of her own physical well-being; much in the development of her sense of responsibility." MRS. HERBERT HOVER of the Executive Board of the Girl Scouts There are summer training camps for Scout leaders in various parts of the country and this year, greater stress than ever will be laid on the training of Girl Scout Captain. Closes will be held at Girl Scout Headquarters in many of the larger cities of the country and the process of recruiting is now going on. OBSERVE MAGNA CHARTA DAY, PROPOSED Proposal that Magna Charta Day be observed each recurring fifteenth of June in all English-speaking countries, is put forward by the Magna Charta Assn. It is not designed to make that day a holiday. But it is the purpose to stimulate interest in the Great Charter and to bring about discussions of its provisions, principles and influences by civil and religious liberties in America are inherited from the Great Charter which King John was compelled to sign at historic Runnymede. It would be well to read this momentous document on each succeeding anniversary, to become conversant with the fundamentals of modern liberties in all lands where the English tongue is spoken. PLAN BIG PARADE ON ARMISTICE DAY With reverence, with full recognition of the significance of the day with solemnity and with gratitude to the memory of the hero dead, ange-co., will join with the national observance of Armistice day, November 11. The presence of Gov. W. D. Stevens as the principal speaker of the day will add significance, and program planned by Santa Ana P.O. No. 131, American Legion, is extensive. It is the plan of the Legion fields to make the celebration complete and to establish a precedent which in future years may well followed. At noon there will be a cessation of business while Orange-co., united with the nation, with leads bowed grateful recognition of the deeds valor and sacrifices made by the dier heroes, pay mighty and sole tribute to the unknown dead, whose lives were given to maintain for nation the honor so highly regarded. Commercialism will not be tolerated in the Armistice day parade, cording to announcement of the executive committee. SPEEDERS MAY GET JAIL SENTENCES Those motorists who, for love exhilaration, excitement and chance of being arrested and paid a fine, take to speeding in Los Angeles, are on the way to a severe legal jolt. The newly-created Safe Bureau of the Automobile Club Southern California recommends the courts of Los Angeles that sentences be imposed for driving to the left of a street or driving while intoxicated, or driving past a street car which loading or unloading passengers where there is no properly established safety zone. An hour in jail every mile the motorist exceeds speed limit is suggested, with imprisonment doubled or tree should the offense be repeated. It also recommended that the courts Los Angeles adopt uniform penalty and methods of treating traffic lators. Los Angeles just must do something strenuous to curb the reckless driver. Fines are unavailing. OBSERVE MAGNA CHARTA DAY, PROPOSED Proposal that Magna Charta Day be observed each recurring fifteenth of June in all English-speaking countries, is put forward by the Magna Charta Assn.. It is not designed to make that day a holiday. But it is the purpose to stimulate interest in the Great Charter and to bring about discussions of its provisions, principles and influences by the press, the platform and the pulpit. This project is deserving of earnest attention in this country as well as in the British dominions. For civil and religious liberties in America are inherited from the Great Charter which King John was compelled to sign at historic Runnymede. It would be well to read this momentous document on each succeeding anniversary, to become conversant with the fundamentals of modern liberties in all lands where the English tongue is spoken. Dr. J.
