DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Yeah! let the rich deride, the proud disdain These simple blessings of the lowly train; To me more dear, congenial to my heart, One native charm, than all the gloss of art. —Goldsmith. The "open door" in China is to be made true to label. David Lloyd George, 59 years old, has cut his wisdom teeth, as even his political enemies will admit. The thrift that Benjamin Franklin urged in his day, is just as desirable today. But clear distinction should be made between thrift and miserliness. Premier Lloyd George, at 59 years of age, is robust, despite his strenuous public career, and gives promise of several years more of able service to the British empire. The "Father of the Automobile" has just died. Mr. Selden lived to see "horseless carriages" develop phenomenally and evolve into the most remarkable transportation facility of the age. The birth rate in California is gratifyingly high. The number of native sons and daughters is swelling the state's census figures very encouragingly. This never has been a land in which "race suicide" has been threatened. This republic never should even appear to be ungrateful to any who have served it loyally and usefully, as has former President Wilson, and as have millions of men in the armed service during America's participation in the World War. WATER CONSERVATION IS VITAL PROBLEM Southern California must begin at once to conserve and to amplify its water supply, or face a peremptory halting of its agricultural, horticultural and industrial progress. This is not an alarmist conclusion, but it is the sober judgment of experts, expressed before the meeting in Pasadena, under the auspices of the Water Reserve Board, which meeting was attended by representatives of five Southern counties. Experts stress the imperative importance of reforestation, flood control and water conservation, in this section of the state. There may be differences as to ways and means of effecting these things. But there is no difference of opinion as to this: Something definite and practical must be done. The heavy rains recently in this section demonstrated what may be done and should be done. Billions of gallons of water ran off to the sea in floods, and was wasted, so far as usefulness to this section is concerned. Nor did it run tamely and without damage. Flood losses were heavy. Scientific control of floods is a vital need here. Along with this control should be some method of impounding surplus water and retaining it for use as needed. There should be systematic reforestation, and the forest reserves should be safeguarded as effectually as possible, against destructive fires. All these things are auxiliary to any comprehensive water conserving scheme. Time is a very important element in this. Ten years from now is not the safe and proper time to begin this conserving of water. Nor five years. This year is none too soon. In truth, the sooner the better. There should be no indulgence in foolish alarm, nor should exaggerated misleading The birth rate in California is gratifyingly high. The number of native sons and daughters is swelling the state's census figures very encouragingly. This never has been a land in which "race suicide" has been threatened. This republic never should even appear to be ungrateful to any who have served it loyally and usefully, as has former President Wilson, and as have millions of men in the armed service during America's participation in the World War. Political campaigns in this country should be pitched upon the plane of intelligence and reason, with no indulgence in mudslinging or personal abuse. The people are enlightened in political. They know that resort to personal abuse is a sure sign of a weak cause on the part of those who do the abusing. Many high school girls in California, on rigid dieting to reduce avoid-dupois and to become more willowy of figure, are literally starving themselves, say state school authorities, and the practice is condemned. This is a form of folly that common sense should correct. Good health, in any girl, is more to be sought than slightness of physical figure. Reasonable judgment in choosing a dietary leaves nothing to be sought for, anyway, in these things, provided abundance of exercise in the open air is taken. HARDWOOD FLOORS Rt. J.

Center, Anaheim PLAN TO ELIMINATE CROSSING PROBLEMS Work was begun Monday by the county chain gang under direction of J. L. McBride, county superintendent of highways, on the project of eliminating the troublesome traffic problems presented by the third and fourth crossings of the Santiago creek in Santiago canyon near the county park. Construction of a road between 600 and 700 feet in length, cut into the bank along the west side of the creek is contemplated. This road will evade both the third and fourth crossings. Drilling and blasting will be the first move in the work. Telephone companies in this country employ 300,000 workers who handle 18,250,000 connections a year.

The driver of the Cudahy truck stated he was watching the Santa Fe crossing closely for a light engine which he has learned to expect at that time traveling at 60 miles an hour, making the crossing signal useless. While doing this, he slipped over onto the wrong side of the road and sideswiped the trailer. Murch was insured in Auto Club of So. Cal.
