If the great powers can maintain a naval holiday with advantage for ten years they can, with equal or even greater advantage, extend it to one hundred or five hundred years. Science can tame floods and nullify the damage therefrom. It would be an unusually good investment for the Nation and the states to undertake scientifically to control floods. Will S. Hays is going into motion pictures as leading man, so to speak, but not as a rival of Wallace Reid for good looks. Mr. Hays never will be referred to as the handsomest man in pictures." The American people never should become dulled in appreciation of the various services of the men of the American Expeditionary Forces, and those who, in training camps, were ready to go over-seas for front-trench fighting. They gave that which cannot be valued adequately in money, and yet so little is done for these brave men, either by monetary appropriation or by sentimental manifestation of appreciation. Frequent failures of juries to agree upon a verdict in conspicuous murder trials raises the question of the need of jury reform. This has long been advocated, along with other betterments in legal procedure, by some of the most eminent lawyers and jurists of the country. It is high time that advancement were made, so that the administration of law through courts may not become disrespected. DIVEST COURT TRIALS OF MORBIDITY There is too much morbidity about criminal court hearings in this country. Here in Calif., where so many sensational murder trials have taken place of recent years, this maudlinism has become conspicuous and disgusting. In the reforms of legal procedure, which are sure to be worked out in the near future, provision should be made against the gaping crowds of morbidly curious who haunt court rooms and lurk about jails to see and hear the developments of criminal prosecutions. There is, in this foolish and sickening morbidity, that which reminds one of buzzards flocking around a mass of carrion. The morbids should be ruled out of criminal court rooms and should be driven away from jails and places where those held for crimes are to be seen. Every criminal trial should be open, of course, in the sense that none of the proceedings should be under cover and hidden from those who have legitimate, bona fide interest in the administering of even-handed justice. But to the morbidly curious idler the criminal court room should be barred. There were 15,000 deaths in automobile traffic in the United States during 1921, experts estimate. And not all of them were due to caressless driving. A great many were attributable to reckless walking. The careless pedestrian should be restrained, just as is the caressless driver.

A deftful musical program was given. Two duets by J. G. Allen and Ernert Arrowsmith." Jesus, Name of REALTY MEN HEAR TAXATION PAPER Various defects in methods of taxation in the state were criticised in a paper on "A New Taxation System for California," by Guy Wolf, read at this morning's session of the California Real Estate Assn. convention in Oakland. Taxes in some communities run as high as $4.75 upon the hundred of assessed value, Wolf's paper declared, and acted as a serious deterrent to ownership of real estate. The taxation system in California is not encouraging home-builders. When tax rates are rising and incomes falling from real estate, profits in land ownership are cut off, sald Wolf. Taxes on gross incomes of public utilities and public service corporations are unsound in principle and premature, because passed on sooner or later to stockholders. SAFE ROAD TALK AT CONVENTION NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The growing demand for wider and safer roads and stronger bridges has awakened the officers and directors of the American Road Builders' Asn., to the need for action and the program committee has provided for an exhaustive discussion of the subject at the Twelfth American Good Roads Congress and Thirteenth National Good Roads show to be held in Chicago next week. The elimination of grade crossings will be one of the phases considered. Out of the 12,000 persons killed on the highways of the country last year 7000 were struck down at grade crossings. Investigation has shown also that one motorist in every three is careless at grade crossings, approaching the railroad tracks at reckless speed and without taking due notice of approaching trains. The Pennsylvania and Southern Pacific railroads, especially, have been heavy sufferers from grade crossing accidents. On the S.P. lines alone during the past three years 1909 motor cars and trucks were wrecked at grade crossings. In 490 cases, or more than 20 pet., the motors deliberately ran into the trains. In 122 instances autos At the California CALL OF THE NORTH IS REAL THRILLER Most people nowadays hanker after the thrilling and adventurous No matter in what form they want it. Probably nothing offers more in this particular line than the motion picture That is one reason the modern cinema palaces are so tremendously successful. The more adventure they can crowd into the picture, especially if the theme is built around some far off land, the better the patrons of the show houses like it. With this idea in mind, Messrs. Ingram and Swope of the California theatre have booked that thrilling picture entitled "The Call of the North," starring handsome Jack Holt, one of the cleverest and most popular of stars now appearing upon the silversheet. This story deals with life in the frozen North, and daring stunts of all kinds are interspersed throughout SOLDIER FARM LONDON American went out to the Spanish rocco are their task-cording to writing in Much of the terms gust, have Gibbillard and suffe them, Hawk The me conditions mislead mements for local care "The S states," is for war, or other machines or train The high school orchestra will play a good program is assured. The Baptist church was crowded with church members and friends, who came to welcome the Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Gage at the reception given in their honor last Friday evening. The church was beautifully decorated with jquils and ferns. Mrs. P. M. German was chairman of the program committee. A delightful musical program was given. Two duets by J. G. Allen and Ernst Arrowsmith, "Jesus, Name of Wonderous Love," by the girls' quartet, the Misses Thelma and Ethel Emerson, Edna Beardsley and Chassie Gammontree; vocal solo, "I Do Not Ask Oh Lord." by Proctor, who sung by Miss Thelma Emerson; violin solo by Irvine German, accompanied on the piano by Miss Eveleth Aldrich. The head of each department of the church gave excellent reports of one work carried on. The Rev. W. M. Harkness, of the I. E. church, gave the address of welcome. A response was given by both the Rev. and Mrs. Gage. The Rev. George Frances, of the baptist church of Orange, gave a short talk; the Rev. B. Silkwood led an prayer. Refreshments were served at the close of the entertainment. A delightful surprise was given Mrs. Dessa Emerson Wednesday evening by a number of relatives and friends. The occasion being Mrs. Emerson's birthday, the guests came early in the evening, bringing a well-prepared dinner with them. After dinner a social time was enjoyed. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Will Schnitzer and family, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Monroe, Mrs. Emily Monroe, J. R.

ASKS MAYOR TO AID HIM RETURN HOME LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.—A pathetic and unusual appeal for aid to enable him to return to California, his birthplace, was received today by Mayor Cryer from M. H. Kramer, now working as a night watchman in Bremen, Germany, for a salary of $5 per month. Kramer relates a strange story, declaring that he left California for Germany in 1905, but contends that before he reached his destination, where he was to visit relatives, he was seized with a complete nervous collapse, and incarcerated in an asylum for the insane for a period of 15 years, losing his citizenship as an American and being unable to return to the shores of his natal land. PARIS MAY CANCEL SATURDAY HOLIDAY PARIS, Jan. 21.—It is proposed to upset the traditional progress of the Paris working week by annulling the Saturday afternoon holiday.

FORTUNE EARNED BETWEEN 16 AND 40 CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 21.—Twenty-four years ago, at the age of 16, a saloon porter; today, at 40, retired with a fortune of more than half a million dollars. This is a bit of the interesting life history of Julius Payton, who has just disposed of his chain of several restaurants to take life easy. Four brothers who worked for him as waiters have acquired the eating houses. "Trouble with a lot of people is that they never know when they have enough," Payton says. "They work and accumulate until long past middle age. Then when they are ready to quit they are too old to enjoy the harvest."

First Church of Christs By Rev. Andrew J. Gray of The Board of Lecture Church of Christ, Science vites the public to be pious THE FAIRYLAND JANUARY SHOW STRENGTH OF CHEVROLET FRAME The fact that the frame of a Chevrolet 496 touring car belonging to Mrs. Luella Ducommon of Huntington Beach, which figured in a freak accident near Birch Park, Santa Ana, Wednesday noon, supporting a large share of the tenon oil truck without bending, was taken by Frank P. Taggart of the Frank P. Taggart Co., Chevrolet dealers, to be an indication of its sturdiness. "The fully loaded truck struck the small car and rolled onto its side," Taggart says. "When the machines came to a stationary position, the front wheels of the big truck were four feet off the ground, and the entire weight of the front end was resting upon the girders of the Chevrolet. In spite of this, a later examination by one of the mechanics disclosed the fact that the steel was not out of alignment. The engine, too, was uninjured, although the body was damaged by the blow." Chevrolet sales have been exceedingly good, the Taggart firm experiencing difficulty in obtaining sufficient number of cars to fill orders. They have the "sold out" sign displayed at present but more cars are expected in a few days.
