Foreign delegations attending the Conference on Limitation of Armaments find, to their sorrow, that there is no reductional limitation on Washington hotel bills. Hope lights the fire under the pot and starts the water to boiling, and faith is firmly convinced that the meat and vegetables will arrive in due time to fill the pot. Recent revelations and scandals in connection with the K. K. K. have put that unsavory organization in condition for the writer of epitaphs to put the regulation r. i. p. over it. The best thing to do with battleships, after all, is to sink them voluntarily, in peace and friendship and by common agreement among nations, rather than to sink them in warfare. Be fair in your judgment of the kindies. Many of them are good in midsummer dogdays, as well as during the weeks just before Christmas, when Santa Claus is to be duly placed and impressed. The practice of buying a handsome and costly Christmas present for father and having it charged to him cheerfully persists. But father usually is game and smiles outwardly, even if he winces inwardly. It is a good thing to have harmony and friendship among nations. It promotes peace. It fosters friendship and is instrumental in adding to the prosperity of nations by making each and all of them thrive in peace and by impelling them to share their good fortune by commercial interchanges among themselves. Every person, every newspaper, every public speaker, should, at every favorable opportunity, urge a close and friendly understaff. VETERANS VICTIMS OF GAS. TO BE AIDED One wonders what reason members of the Senate Appropriations Committee had for voting $1,000,000 for American participation in an exposition in Brazil, but at the same time turning a deaf ear to appeals from Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, for aid for the hundreds of former service men of the World War who were victims of poison gas while on the fighting front and who are now in Arizona, in tubercular state, seeking cure, but many of them dying. When the Arizona Senator took the matter directly before the Senate and made a stirring appeal in behalf of these brave boys, dying out there on the desert, many of whom might be saved, the Senate voted $1,000,000 appropriation for additional hospitalization. Is not the comfort and health of these brave men more to be esteemed than an American exhibit in an exposition in a far-away country? Is it to be wondered at that disabled veterans, finding their appeals for aid either slighted or treated coldly and indifferently in Congress and among certain elements of the people, grow discouraged and bitter? They have every right to expect more generous consideration on the part of Congress and on the part of their fellow-countrymen. If the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan should keep peace and understanding among them selves perpetually, there never could be another great world war. For by moral suasion or by economic pressure, if necessary, they could prevent any other nation or group of nations, from precipitating a repetition of the It is a good thing to have harmony and friendship among nations. It promotes peace. It fosters friendship and is instrumental in adding to the prosperity of nations by making each and all of them thrive in peace and by impelling them to share their good fortune by commercial interchanges among themselves. Every person, every newspaper, every public speaker, should, at every favorable opportunity, urge a close and friendly understanding and sympathy between this country and other countries. NO "AFTER YOU, MY DEAR FASTON," STUFF NEW YORK. Dec. 21.—Speaking of social conduct, public and private indications are that this will be a rude winter in New York. Every now and then we get a swing toward a definite method in our conversational conduct. We are not consistently exercive in sugaring our pausing conversations with people as England, for instance. In England you always thank the clerk for your change, just as if it were a rare favor on his part to return you your just due, and the clerk will even thank you for inquiring for something which he does not have. It becomes a habit and as such is commendable, but this season in New York is very dissimilar. The conductors make their "Stop lively." A little more staccio, the subway guards are positively peremptory in their directions and the clerks in the stores are more firm than polite. Any grande dame about the portals of the exclusive hotels seems to take personal pride in giving tart directions to her chauffeur and he, in turn, becomes coldly acquiescent. The corner policeman has no time for the cherry chair which greeted us last summer, but sowls and seems a bit hasty in putting you right in traffic direction. Perhaps it is the cold, crisp air and the business intensity which hits us in mid-year, and perhaps with the coming of Spring and the rise of blossoms in the ground we will go back to the punctilious politeness with which we like to pride ourselves.

I believe the tractor will make farming what it ought to be—the most pleasant, the most healthful, the most profitable business on earth.'" This tractor has done much—very much—in bringing true Mr. Ford's prophecy; for in it is a machine which has harnessed one of the most dependable, efficient, adaptable, economical sources of power in the world—a machine that saves from thirty to fifty per cent of the farmer's time—a machine which many farmers claim plows, harrows or drills as much ground in the same time as four, six or even eight horses. And more—a machine that takes care of every power job on the farm. Call and let's talk it over, or telephone or drop us a card and we will bring the facts to you.

New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Dec. '20.—The public never tires of seeing the people of the stage acting under natural conditions and hence flocked to the Equity Ball given last Saturday night. Never have so many of the entertainment profession assembled in one place for a grand and glorious time and never have so many of the audience crowd assembled to see them disporting, even as you and I. The party started tickets in the box, 'wasting tickets like that! He's a newlywed. It's mostly them as drops two tickets. They are thinking about the bride so much that they drop one for her even when she isn't along." This would seem to demonstrate again, "the high cost of loving." "The easiest place to find a sucker is along dear old Broadway," is the refrain of a popular ditty, and nothing could be more accurate. Lower Broadway and adjacent streets have blossomed forth recently in "Japanese Dates," so called by the vendors. Spread out on trays and otherwise displayed, the alleged "Dates" make a fine showing, appearing to be sugary and flavorful, and extracted the pennies very easily from passersby always on the lookout for something new and unusual. Imagine their surprise. AMERICAN LEGION NAMES OFFICERS Anahiem Post, No. 72, nominated officers and executive committee last night. The election will take place on Jan. 3, the next meeting night.

Never have so many of the entertainment profession assembled in one place for a grand and glorious time and never have so many of the audience crowd assembled to see them disporting, even as you and I. The party started early and continued until late—very late. Had the striking milkmen been on the job they would have had some thing to relieve the dullness of Broadway at 6 o'clock the morning after because stage people whose names have always suggested electric lights to you and to whom you have given longing glances from the galleries, were romping about the town just like any other gay folk. These dear people can never resist giving a show, however, and in the midst of the dancing program, suspended their jazz to see a remarkable review containing more stars probably than any like dramatic occurrence. This stunt was worked out by Hassard Short and was a super-cabaret in every respect. There were little things like supper and refreshments, but the main attraction was rubbing elbows with the greatest luminaries of the stage today. Men of big business in New York who lead as strenuous a life, in their office as the average boiler maker in a foundry have found a method of keeping fit which doesn't take them from the scene of their activities. Many of the Wall street financiers who are obliged to work at top speed, longer hours than we think, have shower baths installed in their offices and when it comes time for the mid-day lunch, slip over to the shower and have a refreshing spray to keep alive the energy which is necessary for them to keep a tight hold on the pulse of their business organizations. One man I know claims it is the only way he can acquire the new vim which permits him to face the close of the stock market as freshly as he undertook it in the early morning. It seems that everything conspires to keep the plumbers rich. We become more adept fakers all the time. It is amazing to go by the cheap novelty stores and see the most precious appearing articles which have always been thought part of the rich man's estate duplicated with amazing fidelity. Tinted wax candles that are supposed to give a mellow glow in artistic halls may be had by every man for ten cents. The marvelous coral and jade ornaments representing plants and flowers of the artistic China land are now within the purse of most any one, being made of leather and tinted to give the effect of age and rarity.

Imagine their surprise to find them of the same vintage of the sad old prunes which they had battled with at breakfast in their boarding house. Botanical experts tell us there is no such thing as a Japanese date and that the best that may be said of them is that they are Japanese sugar plums, which in your language and mine means a sweetened prune. The game of draughts is known to have existed long before the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Wm.

One furniture dealer and repair man in the Bronx puts it quite frankly in his sign "Antique furniture made in modern style." It would seem easy to become refined, with the accent on the first syllable, as every one is now saying in these parts. Not long ago I told how batchelors might be spotted on Saturday nights. I have recently learned from a ticket chopper at an elevated station on the Upper West side, how to tell a newly-wed even though he is not with the bride. "Isn't that the limit," he burst out as a nice young man dropped two AUTOS WASHED Polished and Simonized, Tops Dressed, Air Compressor and Spray for Cleaning Motors. Cara Called for and returned. C.

Schumacher Phone 794 West Anaheim POWER WIRE HITS TELEPHONE WIRES CYPRESS, Dec. 21.—(Spl.) There was considerable excitement in Cypres caused by an Edison power wire coming in contact with a telephone wire. Several fuses exploded and there was several reports that broke the populace out into the street. The LaRue home received the worst shock. Mrs. LaRue was badly frightened as electric sparks were bouncing off the plugs into the atmosphere of the room. No damage was done other than a few black burns about the plugs. The wire to the garage was shorted to the galvanized iron and burned a small hole where the insolator was. It was reported that the Sabe Robison home was on fire, but after a mad rush the gallant volunteer fire fighters found no fire to fight. Most of the town is still in darkness tonight. Mrs. M. B. Feagan is ill with a severe cold. Job Denzie came near losing his right arm through blood poisoning. While trimming some date palms, two thorns pierced the wrist and the points were broken off. Mr. Dennie did not seek aid till the thorns had poisoned the arm to such an extent that amputation was feared to be necessary. The arm while still very sore and painful is flushing rapidly. Clarence John was a town visitor Saturday. Since leaving Cypress some weeks ago he has been employed in the Los Angeles post office. He has resigned his position to accept a run as a railway mail clerk. Mrs. W. C. Miller was a shopper in Los Angeles today. 23 DROWNED AS STEAMER·SINKS HELSINGFORS, Dec. 20—Twenty-three persons were drowned today when a Russian icebreaker rammed and sank the steamship Saaremaa.
