It is to be hoped that this year may witness the restoration of full diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico. The world is becoming as one vast household, with the nations as brothers and sisters, and with a greater inclination to foster peace in this family of nations. There's a small boy in this block who would like to have Will S. Hays' job, because of the free entrance Mr. Hays can have to any moving picture he may care to see. It is a goodly custom that Americans have of cherishing the memory of great American men and women of the past. It serves to keep alive the flames of lofty ideals in the breasts of the people when they honor, with each recurring year, the birth anniversaries of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and others. But, while memorializing the illustrious dead, it is also in order to show due appreciation of the illustrious living. It would be essentially mischevious to array the cities of this state against the country, and the country against the cities; or to propagate state division by inflaming one section against another. This can be made the ideal commonwealth only by maintaining its solidity, from end to end, from boundary to boundary, and by fostering harmony between the urban and the rural communities. Their interests are all common and interdependent. Men who have been President seldom live many years. NO OCCASION TO FEAR ARTIFICIAL GOLD Modern chemistry has shown that at least some of the supposed elemental substances of the chemist, what he calls ELEMENTS, are in fact compounds. In all ordinary chemical processes these compounds behave like elements, but it is nevertheless possible by special operations to show that they are divisible into more simple substances. This discovery has revived to some extent popular belief in alchemy, and there have been of late many suggestions in the press that gold may be made artificially and become so abundant as to destroy completely such utility as it may have as a measure of value and a basis for currency. It has even been stated that the late S. F. Emmons, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, claimed to have made synthetic gold from silver dollars many years ago. Mr. Emmons never made any such claim and the statement is absurd. No one has yet succeeded in making gold or in obtaining it from any other chemical element. The feat cannot be safely called impossible, but it is fairly certain that if any chemist should succeed in transforming into gold some substance that has hitherto been regarded as a simple element, the process would be so difficult and costly as to make the gold far more expensive than the natural metal. The silver-dollar story is probably based on the fact that the silver and copper which our so-called silver coins are made It would be essentially mischevious to array the cities of this state against the country, and the country against the cities; or to propagate state division by inflaming one section against another. This can be made the ideal commonwealth only by maintaining its solidity, from end to end, from boundary to boundary, and by fostering harmony between the urban and the rural communities. Their interests are all common and interdependent. Men who have been President seldom live many years after retiring from the office. The greater number of Presidents have been well past middle life before being chosen to that high office, and those who have served two terms thereby add eight years to their age before they retire. Some of them impair health because of the onerous duties of the chief magistracy. Only Messrs. Taft and Wilson of ex-Presidents, survive, and the latter is broken in health. SKY-LINE DRIVE IS AN EARLY PROSPECT Will the sky-line drive which Fullerton has been trying to obtain for 15 years, and which W. T. Brown, with a committee from the B. of T. has been working on for two years, yet become a reality? Such, at least, is indicated by the report of Mr. Brown to city trustees that the signatures of all those on the route had been obtained with the exception of one man, a Frenchman, and he is sick. It is hoped to obtain his signature as soon as he is recovered. There is now high hopes that the drive may be put thru. Bids were opened last night for about $3,000 worth of improvements at the Fullerton pumping plant. They were referred to Trustees Drake and Marsden, and the water committee. ENORMOUS DROP IN FOREIGN COMMERCE WASHINGTON, Jan. 25—An enormous drop in the value of exports and imports in 1921 was reported by the department of commerce today. The drop was due to falling prices. Imports of foodstuffs in 1921 amounted to $672,101,111, compared with $1,815,000,000 in 1920; manufactures, $962,000,101 in 1921, compared with $1,689,000,000. Exports of foodstuffs in 1921 were valued at $1,461,000,000, compared with $2,033,000,000 in 1920. Manufactures exported in 1921 reached $2,020,000,000 compared with $4,-163,000,000 in 1920.

JAPAN AND GERMANY IN COMMERCIAL WAR TOKIO, Jan. 25. — Germany and Japan have gone to war again—commercially. German merchantmen are again plying the far eastern trade routes and German goods are once more being unloaded in ports where they have been unknown for seven years. So far, it seems, Japanese business has been hurt most by the reviving Germany competition. At the same time the Japanese have lost trade to Holland, England and America in many parts of the Orient, during the last 12 months. Japanese interest fear these losses will become even greater, because the German trade challenge will soon be sharper than it is now in the Orient. The Hamburg-American and the North German Lloyd have returned to the Far Eastern field. The first steamer of this re-established service left Hamburg for Japan, Dec. 4. Thereafter a regular bi-monthly service will be maintained. Heretofore German tramps and other vessels have been bringing German goods to the Orient. The new service of the two big steamship companies is the most ambitious comeback effort Germany has made here. PROSPERITY DRIVE LATEST PROPOSAL NEW YORK, Jan. 25. — A National Prosperity bureau, with offices in New York, has submitted to President Harding a project for a country-wide drive, to begin on February 1. Leading industries, with very large investment interests, are lending their support, and many able and distinguished men will be asked to serve on the governing committee. The purpose of the prosperity campaign are stated to be four: To speed up manufacturing by economic production and sales; has yet succeeded in making gold or in obtaining it from any other chemical element. The feat cannot be safely called impossible, but it is fairly certain that if any chemist should succeed in transforming into gold some substance that has hitherto been regarded as a simple element, the process would be so difficult and costly as to make the gold far more expensive than the natural metal. The silver-dollar story is probably based on the fact that the silver and copper which our so-called silver coins are made do contain exceedingly minute quantities of gold—quantities too small to be of any practical importance. It is a mistaken show of so-called mercy to turn loose a hardened criminal, unrepentant, to prey upon society. It is more important to give the public protection against criminality than it is to show clemency to confirmed criminals, hope of whose redemption is exceedingly slight.

John Link, a bachelor, was found dead in his bed in his room of a Pla VETS WANT CITY HOMES NOT FARMS The prospective purchase of home sites and ranches by ex-service men on the installment scheme proposed by the state will result in no back-to-the-land movement in this or other southern counties of Calif. By far the majority of the applicants in the Anaheim district seek home sites, not farms, says County Commander William P. Webb, Jr. Webb presumes that this is true of the county generally, if only because of the limit of $7500 purchase price set. At the monthly meeting of the County Council in the rooms of Orange post tomorrow night, the number of applicants in each district will owing to the increase in enrollment of students for the fourth and fifth grades, the creation of a new room has been ordered.

John Link, a bachelor, was found dead in his bed in his room of a Placentia hotel. It was first that death was due to a gas heater burning all night, but investigation proved this theory groundless as there was plenty of ventilation in the room. An autopsy will be held to determine the exact cause. Mr. Link was clerk in the pool hall here. The Ladies Social Circle held their meeting on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. R. Farrar, assisted by Mrs. Gifford. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Edwardson and daughter, Elleen, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fellinge motored to Pasadena Sunday. A. S.

W. Duckworth of Anaheim, who died recently. The appointment is considered fortunate, as Mr. Bradford has long been enthusiastic over the great industrial and commercial prospects for Newport harbor and is in position to render great aid toward further development. Other members of the commission are K. E. Watson of Orange, J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, and Linn E. Shaw of Santa Ana and Lew H. Wallace of Newport. Mrs. Winthrop Bowen was hostess to the B. G.

By far the majority of the applicants in the Anaheim district seek home sites, not farms, says County Commander William P. Webb, Jr. Webb presumes that this is true of the county generally, if only because of the limit of $7500 purchase price set. At the monthly meeting of the County Council in the rooms of Orange post tomorrow night, the number of applicants in each district will be checked up. The number in the Anaheim district now totals 125 or more. Webb has several recommendations affecting this and other districts which he will make. The Veteran's Welfare Board in Sacramento now is communicating with the four references furnished by each applicant as a preliminary to issuing the certificate of purchase, which enables applicants to choose their homesite or ranch. The board does not go back to the applicant's own statement of his condition, ability to meet payments, eligibility as made known in the application, etc., but the references are necessary to get supplementary information. Cards giving applicants their numbers are returned within ten or fifteen days as a rule and never within more than thirty days. Applicants are considered in order of need, disabled men getting preference. If the $19,000,000 appropriation is voted next fall, all of the applicants found worthy will get their applications granted.

POSTAL DEPOSITS ARE NOT SO LARGE NEW YORK, Jan. 25—Total deposits in the postal savings system were $146,500,000 on January 1, a decrease of $1,500,000 since December 1. However, it is said the outlook is encouraging, as December is always a heavy withdrawal month owing to the holidays. Some withdrawals are accounted for by conversion of savings into treasury securities which bear a higher rate of interest. New York City is first with postal deposits of $45,792,612. It is followed by Brooklyn with deposits of $14,188,219. Next comes Chicago and Boston with deposits of $6,553,148 and $6,004,935 respectively.
