DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS He that is strucken blind cannot forget The precious treasures of his eye-sight left—Shakespeare. Marshal Foch is coming to California. And he will receive such a welcome here as will make him intensely glad that he crossed the Great Divide to the front door of the continent. Simplified-spelling advocates in many instances are those who can spell only in the simplified way. The good speller usually is satisfied to rock along with the old spelling. Charles E. Hughes has had no special-training in diplomacy. But the diplomat of the Old World find no flaws in his efficiency as a red-blooded dispenser of get-there diplomacy. It is inspiring to hear children singing: America's national airs. There are more school children today than grown-ups who know the words of "America" and "Star-Spangled Banner." Which is to the credit of the youngsters and their teachers. Some kind of tax-revision actually put through by Congress is better than dallying over revision. Time will develop the merits and delicacies of the measure as it was enacted. But the fact that it is enacted will enable business and industry to adjust themselves and to find a basis for operations on a lower scale. The newspaper is one of the very important educational agencies of the times. The conscientious editor and publisher is extremely careful as to the quality of matter that goes into his paper. For he has regard for the influence his journal may have upon the lives of his readers. He would not send into homes output into the hands of readers that which would corrupt the morals or debase RICHES AND THRIVING FROM THE RAINS California's rainy season is beginning auspiciously. Gentle downpours at this time of year are of incalculable material worth. They sink into the soil and saturate it. They moisten the roots of vegetation and the glad earth drinks the welcome fluid with avidity. The soil is made ready for late fall and winter plowing. Grasses begin to grow. Grain is advanced. Orchards are refreshed. Gardens come forth with generous growth. Hence the enthusiastic Californian rejoices when the rainy day comes and is ready to sing with the poet: "It isn't the raining rain to me, It's raining daffodils! In every dimpling drop I see Wild flowers on the hills! A cloud of gray engulfs the day And overwhelms the town— It isn't raining rain to me— It's raining roses down!" Winter visitors to California may be inclined, at first, to complain of rainy days. But hot after they have been here awhile. They catch the infectious rejoicing of Californias. "In every dimpling drop" they see "wild flowers on the hills." As they go forth on pleasure jantts after a refreshing rain they see the wonderful alchemy of Nature, by which, through the blessed instrumentality of the showers, the green fields and orchards and woodlands and messas and mountain heights are intensified in their emerald beauty. The first copious rains work magic in swiftly dispelling the sombre browns and supplanting them with the living greens. The millions of common people of every land are longing for peace. Should the Arms Conference not reach agreements promote of peace, it will bring keen disappointment and profound discontent. MICE HAVE GOT How many mouse have that does any Mr. R.

The Woman's club met at the club rooms on Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Fred Greenwalt and Mrs. George McNeil as hostesses. The meeting opened with the singing of America followed by the reading of the Minutes. Mrs. H. E. Warren and Mrs. J. F. Simpson read wonderful reports on the District Federation convention. A Friendship committee was appointed. A fine report was given by Mrs. W. B. Shaw, chairman of the Red Cross committee and the club took out a membership in the Red Cross. Mrs. L. T. Wilsey was accepted as a member of the club. Mrs. Tessgarden and Mrs. Cox will be hostesses at the next meeting and the program committee have prepared a surprise program for this meeting which will be a social meeting. A good attendance is requested. Dalton refreshments were serviced at the close of the meeting. Mrs. A. C. Mann was a Los Angeles visitor on Thursday. A house has been moved onto the Hasson subdivision and will be remodeled. Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Warren attended the Masonle dance at Fullerton on Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

ALLEN, California Biological Feature Service How many kinds of hair does a mouse have? Yes there are two, but that does not include the whiskers. Mr. R. R. Huestis, a Canadian veteran of the World War, a graduate student of the University of California, and a leading authority on mouse hairs, says that in his studies it is most convenient to consider that there are four kinds obtained by subdivision of the two. He is investigating heredity in California Deer Mice and the hairs are being carefully examined for evidence of change in course of the experiments. Mouse hairs which he has examined are not quite circular in cross section but are a little flattened on one side. There are two kinds as to general shape, one rather broad and larger at the middle than at the two ends towards which it tapes, the other narrow and more nearly the same size throughout its length. The narrow hairs are yellowish (called "agouti") in color in their outer portions and they mostly form the inner coat of the fur. The broad hairs are of three kinds, one with agouti color, another with a section of agouti color toward the outer and the third with all black color. The last two are also called overhairs, presumably because they form an overcoat which protects the more delicate inner hairs. All hairs spring from a so-called root and the main body is called the shaft. This shaft is partly hollow in the middle and the spaces are filled with air or coloring matter. If there is no coloring matter present the hair is white no matter how much air it has in it. The solid material forms a sort of cylinder around the middle space and it is covered on its outer surface by tiny scales. The large, black over hairs are most numerous near the back bone so they give the appearance of a more or less deeply black scripe down the middle of the back. They are less prominent toward the sides, hence the agouti or white hairs are more plainly seen, thus giving lighter shades of color in that region. Hairs on the lower surface are without pigment so that part of the body looks white. One thing that Mr. Huestis is trying to learn is whether or not the BAKERSFIELD YOUNG FOLKS ENTERTAINED GARDEN GROVE, Dec. 3: A number of young people from Bakersfield were entertained over Thursday night by Garden Grove friends. They met at the Yucca encampment last summer. They went to San Diego last Friday and attended the second B. Y. P. U. convention until Sunday, when they returned an enjoyed supper at the home of Miss Chassie Hammontree. Monday morning before they returned to Bakersfield a cafeteria breakfast was served at the G.

They brought baskets loaded with delicious cakes and sandwiches and spread, a delightful luncheon, after which they were entertained with games and cards. Mr. and Mrs. Mieger were presented with a nice sum of money with which to buy a gift of the choice. They were married in Heblo Colorado November 25, 1906.

They are less prominent toward the sides, hence the agouti or white hairs are more plainly seen, thus giving lighter shades of color in that region. Hairs on the lower surface are without pigment so that part of the body looks white. One thing that Mr. Huestis is trying to learn is whether or not the numbers of white hairs to the square inch of surface differ in different mice and if so whether or not that difference is inherited. In order to learn about this it is necessary to take a piece of skin and count under a microscope the number of hairs in a given space. To do this he cuts out a piece of dried skin with a punch but he finds that hairs are set in rows somewhat like vegetables in an orderly garden and that his punch does not always cut the rows the same way. Sometimes it hits only the edges of two rows and other times it gets the whole rows within the distance that it covers. This causes serious difficulty in estimating the number of hairs on the whole body and makes it necessary toamine more samples than would otherwise be required. But difficulties are to be expected in any kind of scientific work and the scientist simply goes ahead doing the best that he can. If it's from Witman's it good.
