DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS 'Tis Reason's part To govern and to guard the heart, To lull the wayward soul to rest, When hopes and fears distract the breast; Reason may claim this doubtful strife, And steer thy bark thro' various life. Cotton. Mere man may as well accept women's styles with resignation, rather than aggravation. Little good it does him to fume and fret and complain and criticise. The dear creatures will wear just what they want to wear and in just the way they want to wear it, and mere man might just as well silently run along and do his daily chores. There is too much browbeating of witnesses in criminal cases. Witnesses have rights which should be respected better than they are. There should be reform of court procedure as to this, so that the presiding judge may hold counsel down in their grueling of witnesses. When a witness manifestly is telling the truth, that witness should be protected from the harassing, oftentimes nerve-racking ordeal of answering innumerable questions designed to trap the one testifying into contradicting himself or herself. Treatment of witnesses by lawyers in some instances is not only rude, but shamefully abusive. The witness must submit to this infamous treatment without repaying in kind. Methods like this lower the dignity of courts and are manifestly unjust and cruel. Lawyers should be compelled to treat witnesses with the same respect that witnesses are compelled to treat lawyers in court. NATION'S WILD LIFE WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23. — The Government's accounting to the American people of its stewardship of their wild animals and birds during the past fiscal year, as exercised through the Bureau of Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, is contained in the bureau's annual report, made public today. In its supervision over the wild life resources and liabilities of the Nation, the Government deals with those birds and animals of distinct value to agriculture, commerce, and industry as well as with those injurious species whose natural habits in years past have cost the country many hundreds of millions of dollars. On the asset side of the balance sheet the total mounts; and the liabilities, thanks to the increasing efficiency and thoroughness of the Government's supervision, are shrinking. Sketched in its high lights and dealing only with major facts and totals, the bureau's work during the past year shows among other things the following results: A saving to farmers and stockmen of about $14,000,000 during the year—at a cost of $1,345,220—in the campaign west of the Mississippi against wolves, lynxes and bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, bears and rodents. Destruction by rifle, trap and poison of approximately 50,000 of the predatory animals. Continuation, with marked success, of the work begun 5 years ago of ridding the ranges—and thereby making them safe for grazing—of predatory animals. Those who are prophesying failure for the conference on limitation of armaments would better go on their knees and pray for its success.

Let Us Enjoy It New York Letter I dislike being wholly frivolous, but if age can succumb to frivolity as I will relate, surely I cannot be blamed for keeping my eyes open. Mrs. Rivka Zippe, a gay butterfly of 105 years and known as the belle of the Home for Aged, is peeved because she can't job her hair. "Why should not I bob my hair like the rest of the girls? I am only 105." As an inmate of the Daughters of Israel Home for Aged she has long sustained a reputation for general smartness. She primes day and night and is jealous if the old men of the home pay attention to the other "girls." She is a believer in fresh air as a permanent beautifier and thinks her general attraction would be enhanced by shortening of her tresses to conform to the popular mode. Too bad, but the trustees wouldn't permit. A little too zippy I imagine. Little Italy, and especially Mulberry-st is flamboyant with pride. For on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera house, over the shoulders of one of the leading prima donas of the world is to be worn a shawl bought right there in Mulberry-st's own shawl shop. It was a goregous shawl; too handsome for Little Italy's custom, as a matter of fact, where woolen ones selling for $2.50 are the kind desired. It had belonged to a cousin of the shop-keeper who had brought it with her from Naples. "A man bought it in Spain for me when I lived in Naples," she explained to the whole excited neighborhood. "In Naples I wore it but I couldn't in Mulberry-st. It was a grand thing, such heavy white crepe, and in the centre the torcedor stood on the body of the dead bull." It is a grand thing, too, with fringe a yard long and scenes of the arena in each corner. And to the elation of the whole colony it will be worn at the Metropolitan! The choice address in all of Greater New York for the wives of its seafaring men is in an even-numbered house on Columbia Heights. To live in such a number on that Brooklyn street has its own No. 10 Downing street. And if it had been deliberately planned for a Premier's residence to rival that of Great Britain's it couldn't have been more fit. Stately and dignified, at one time in the heart of aristocratic New York, it is still impressive, in spite of the changes of time. It is in Greenwich Village, down below Washington Square, and is the home of several large and active Italian families who are not greatly concerned with the problems being threshed and worried over in London's No. 10 Downing-st. Saturday half-holidays have killed the curse of Friday. A few years ago—when people worked six days a week—no bride would have been married on a Friday any more than she would have chosen the 13th of the month for her wedding day. In New York, at least, that time has passed. According to the clerk at the municipal building, more couples emark upon the defiance of high living costs on Friday than on any other day of the week. "Saturday holidays are what have done that," he said. "Any employer will give a man a day off to be married, and so a Friday wedding means three days for a honeymoon trip. The Friday jinx has gone for good in this city. Yorba Linda News YORBA LINDA, Dec. 23.—(Spl.) Mr. Louis Vetter and bride have returned from their honeymoon and are at home to their friends, in their home west of Parkway. Mrs. W. G. Cochran was shopping in Los Angeles the last of the week. Mrs. E. N. Gage of Huntington Beach was a visitor in town last week. Mr. Gage has just returned from a pleasant visit with relatives in Boston. Mrs. Ralph K. Thing expects to leave in a few days for her old home in Maine, where she will visit her mother, who is in very poor health. Robert Miller, who is a student at ARCADIA'S WILDCAT SHOWS SOME OIL Montebello Drilling at 3000 feet the Arcadia Oil Co.'s wildcat is showing some oil, the best showing the well has made. Drilling continues under more favorable circumstances now. The Columbia Oil Producing Co. started drilling on Adobe No. 5. Adobe No. 4 is at 3165 in sand. Scott-Arnold is drilling at 3200. The Comanche Oil Co.'s Manly No. 1 is drilling now at 2975 in oil sand and looks very good. The Keeler Dil Co.'s No. 2 completed a couple of weeks ago at 3865, has settled to a 275-barrel well, and produces 24 gravity oil, cutting 30 pet. The Pan-American recovered from a bad fishing job and is now drilling at 3410. The Potter also recovered from the same kind of a job at No. 2 and is now drilling at 3065. The Petroleum Midway Prugh No. 9 completed recently at 3552, is making around 400 barrels. Germain 1-B is getting under way and is drilling or rather redrilling at 3625. The bottom of the hole is 3718. Baldwin 11 is milling on iron at 2940 and 7-A is drilling at 3200. For a big well making as much gas and water as the Eggleston production is holding up remarkably well. Late production figures puts the net old at 900 and the gas production at 12,000,000 feet. The St. Helen's has Monterey No. 4 now drilling by 8½ at 2650, Monterey No. 7 in sandy shale at 2675. P & B. No. 1 is reaming and cleaning out at 3345, the bottom of the hole being at 3660. Drilling on the Howard-Smith, the Standard shows 2800 feet of hole. The digging thus far has been in hard formation and a little slow. Baldwin 59 shows 3290 and No. 60 is rigging up the rotary. At 3300 the Western Pacific is drilling in the oil sand. The sand carries some oil and the outlook for a well is quite encouraging now. The Union Olio Co. has five wells The choice address in all of Greater New York for the wives of its seafaring men is in an even-numbered house on Columbia Heights. To live in such a number on that Brooklyn-st, is the ambition of every family which has a man aboard ship. For it is only a matter of yards from the street to New York harbor and the even number are on the harbor side. From the rear windows, you can watch the tramp steamers from every part of the world — and the Fall River lines that skirt the coast toward Boston. Hardly a ship comes in but what its captain or mate gets a cheery greeting from one of those windows. The call has gone out from the national board of the Young Women's Christian Ass'n for the seventh national convention of that organization, to be held in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Every town in the United States which has a Y. W. center will be represented by local delegates to the convention, which will convene April 20 and last through April 26. In announcing the meeting, Mrs. Robert E. Speer, of this city, president of the national board, said; "As an organization of 578,486 women, affiliated with the women of 35 other countries, we need to face all the demands upon us in the light of our present resources, with the unity of collective thinking. As the war drew to a close there was a wide spread hope that from the ashes of so much sacrifice, there would immediately arise a new world. This hope soon gave way to a pessimism equally widespread. Now, as the fogs clear slowly away, an upward trend is discernible. From men and women of widely varying types we hear the opinion that one of the world's greatest assets for this movement, lies in young women." The last convention was held in Cleveland two years ago. Mr. Louis Vetter and bride have returned from their honeymoon and are at home to their friends, in their home west of Parkway. Mrs. W. G. Cochran was shopping in Los Angeles the last of the week. Mrs. E. N. Gage of Huntington Beach was a visitor in town last week. Mr. Gage has just returned from a pleasant visit with relatives in Boston. Mrs. Ralph K. Thing expects to leave in a few days for her old home in Maine, where she will visit her mother, who is in very poor health. Robert Miller, who is a student at University of California, arrived from Berkeley on Saturday to spend the holidays with his mother and sister, Mrs. Della Miller and Mrs. B. M. Selover. Mrs. Pratt, who is a house guest at the B. S. Bemis home, has returned from a short visit to San Diego. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Brown spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Brown, sr., of Long Beach. The Get Busy class of the Friends church enjoyed a party at the L. C. Janeway home on Saturday evening. Games were played and the refreshments served to the guests, who numbered about 40. Mrs. Argil L. Bosworth was a dinner guest Sunday at the M. Vernon home. Rev. and Mrs. Marsh were Whittier visitors Friday. Friends of the family will be very sorry to learn that Mr. Marsh has been quite ill with rheumatism. The Ridge Oil Co. No. 1 drilling at a little more than 4500 feet still has the same showing of gas with slight oil colors. Miss Myrtle Lund of Alberta, Canada, was a guest the past week of her sister, Mrs. J. I. Geissinger, corner of Newell-ave, and Y. L.-blvd. Y. L. residents are getting a great deal of enjoyment out of the new boulevards, this wet weather. The Dr. Brackett home on Y. L.-blvd is almost completed. Dr. Brackett, who resides in Los Angeles will probably occupy the house and set the land, ten acres, to citrus trees. It is situated just west of the H. Brewer ranch. The Woman's club decided at their last meeting to eliminate the meeting, which was to have been held December 27th. So the next weeting will be a civic program, on January the 10th, when it is hoped there will be a large attendance. GERMAN PRICES UP AFTER MARK DROP BERLIN, Dec. 23.—According to dispatches prices, wages, and cost of communication in Germany have been adapting themselves more and more to the depreciation of money, though the domestic value of the mark remains higher than the minimum foreign value.

By making use of this difference of value, a further increase of exports was made possible. The clear of a further increase of domestic prices resulted in an extraordinary volume of orders. In common with all German industrial life, markets have been undergoing the influence of the falling rate of exchange, so that extraordinary increases in prices were recorded everywhere. Whereas on the world market there was a decrease of prices in the case of many articles, the increase continued at home.
