China is going to feel like a new country because of the good things the Arms Conference is doing for it. Real news is livelier than it was, and no longer are there far-fetched reports of communicational flashes from the planet Mars. Politics is not inherently bad. But politics may be made bad by dragging it into issues which are not essentially political. Keep politics in its place and keep it honest. Money, covetously acquired and selfishly or wrongfully used, is a bane. But acquired honestly and used wholesomely, it is a blessing. Money, per se, is not wicked or undesirable. The Congressman who does his work energetically and well is playing the best political game. Such a course builds his political fences for him, and keeps them in order till election day. Rarely is good penmanship found. The typewriter in large measure has supplanted the pen. Hence there is not the incentive to develop good penmanship. It is regrettable, however, that there are not so many who can write beautifully as there were. It is generally admitted that court procedure should be reformed. But generally admitting it and generally criticising it does not reform it. The ACTUAL "OPEN DOOR" FOR CHINA PLEDGED The Arms Conference, at the institution of the American delegation, backed strongly by Mr. Balfour, of the British delegation, has proposed to make the commercial "open door" in China a tangible thing, bulwarked by an international board or court, to enforce the perpetual "open door" in China and elsewhere. It is the purpose of this proposal to put an end to the creating of "spheres of influence" and the granting of monopolistic concessions to foreigners in China. The "open door" principle heretofore has been more or less nebulous. It has never been specifically defined nor has there been that definite pledging of nations which would admit of holding any power to accountability that might step over the bounds of this principle. This proposal, which seems destined to become part of the final work of the Arms Conference, is of great importance. It is another advanced step toward the loosening of the shackles from China and the vesting of that country with independence and sovereignty that are real, not mere shadows without substance. Bold agreements of this nature, entered into in good faith by the powers participating in the Arms Conference, should foster peace in the Far East, by minimizing the causes which might produce friction among the great powers. ONE PERSON IN EVERY TEN OWNS MOTOR CAR One person in every ten in the United States owns a motor vehicle... It is generally admitted that court procedure should be reformed. But generally admitting it and generally criticising it does not reform it. The way to reform is to reform, and California should set the reformation pace, in simplifying procedure and making out of it the archaic methods. John Kendrick Bangs, who died a few days ago at Atlantic City, was a lightful humorist whose work was known and appreciated all over the country. Through books, lectures and syndicates he scattered his humor broadcast, and it was popular with the people. The humorist has the gratification of knowing that he contributes measureably to the lightening of the loads of care-burdened humanity. The East seems to fear that the West, coming into dominant power in Congress, will run roughshod over the interests of the East and conserve only its own interests. Senator McCumber, who succeeds the late Senator Penrose as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, reassures the East. There will be no "wild West" shooting-up of the East, in Congress, figuratively speaking. All sections will be dealt with fairly, which is right. DRUNKEN HUSBAND SET WIFE ON FIRE OMAHA, Jan. 27.—C. A. Brown is on jail charged with setting his wife, 35, on fire. Brown went home intoxicated, Mrs Angelica Gareia, a neighbor, told the police, and following an argument with his wife, dashed oil over her and lighted a match. She was rescued by members of the Fire department, but her chance for recovery is slight. Witman, eyesight specialist. DISTRICT C. E. MEETING Local Christian Endeavorers are anticipating an interesting meeting Monday evening, Feb'y 6, when all members of the societies of the district will meet in an enthusiastic rally in the First Presbyterian church in Orange. Anaheim will send its quota with a view of winning the membership attendance contest. A program has been arranged for 7:30 and the social time including refreshments will close at an hour not too late for high school students. If it's from Witman's it's good.

Chapman Every Boy Scout is pledged to do at least one good turn each day, but in addition to these individual acts of kindness, whole troops and often all the troops in a whole community will unite to do something which requires organization and concerted action. Safety-first campaigns, swat-the-fly crusades and clean-up days have been conducted or assisted by scouts in scores of places. Very often the courteous appeal of a scout has proven more efficacious in securing permanent results than the peremptory order of a public official. There can be no question that the boy is working for the good of his community and that his suggestions are free from any connection with petty, graft or politics. Mrs. Housekeeper, swatting the advance guard of the summer's swarm of flies, cannot fail to be interested in the scout who, half scared perhaps at his own temerity, points out to her the fact that her own garbage can and dishwater drain are responsible for her unwelcome visitors. If she has ordinary common sense—and what housekeeper has not—one microphotograph showing how the deadliest of germs are picked up by the housefly's feet and then deposited upon the bread and butter which her children eat, makes her a red-hot recruit for the militant forces of sanitation. Woman's tongue has ben the subject of many unkind remarks. Let us pause and reflect upon what accomplishes when it is set a-wagging for a cause like this. It means less lies and more scouts before the sun goes down. "Safety first" is second nature with a scout, for the prevention of accidents is one of his earliest subjects of instruction. Most accidents can be foreseen. Every scout is taught to look for them and by removing the causes to prevent the consequences. $4,900 IN PRIZE Does She Live A "Beauty By Los Angeles Not a Voting Contest --- Nothing to North, East, South and West all claim the prettiest girls in A to the Southwest.
