The truth hurts no honest person. The Lord also loves a cheerful liver Incendiarism is one of the cowardling of crimes. Circumstantial evidence is anything but infallible. Plant and nurture a mean impulse, now a mean act. Health, the richest of assets, often is wasted wantonly. Reckless speeder should be arrested and punished severely. Event crime by training children in by precept and by example. Often is more reason, sense and attention in optimism than in pessimism. Ele Sam will save $5,000.00, during the naval holiday, though to make him enjoy the holidays. Whether one lives in mental lowland or bags or on intellectual minds depends largely upon what leads. All drivers and all pedestrians are careful at all times, there would be much jeopardy to life or limb. EXTREME PARTISANSHIP IS DECRIED William G. McAdoo, speaking before the City Club of Los Angeles, deplored "the intolerant partisan basis on which our government functions." Too often, he asserted, matters which should be treated non-partisanly in Congress, are made the subject of political alignments and partisan discussion. Mr. McAdoo believes it would be a good thing for the country if a large body of intelligent citizens were not affiliated with any party—a body of voters who could hold the balance of power. "Such citizens," he said, "would be Americans first and their check on the big parties would be most valuable." In his remarks, however, Mr. McAdoo made it clear that he is not opposed to political parties, but only to extreme and hidebound partisanship on questions which are not essentially partisan. The wisdom of Mr. McAdoo's attitude as to this is recognized quite generally. There unquestionably is too much partisanism, in many instances, where Americanism should be the rule. But there is gradual betterment as to this. There is not so much narrow, intolerant partisanship as there once was. Occasionally a great question is settled in Congress without drawing party lines taut. And frequently the two major parties divide on an important subject. There is hope that this spirit and method of deciding questions on their merits, without partisan dictation, may expand and grow dominant, both in Congress and in other legislative bodies throughout the land.

D. G. MALTBY, Agent Telephone 123 Southern Pacific Lines NEW YORK. March 21.—It is an interesting pilgrimage that Lancel S. Reiss, young New York artist, is starting upon this month. He is going to visit and sketch the Ghettoes of all the world, preserving the types and traditions of each one. "In following with my knapsack, the wandering footsteps of the Jewish people," he said, "I shall visit almost every corner of the globe." In Rome, Florence, Padua are some of the earliest Ghettoes, but all of Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia will be included in the trip. Mr. Reiss, who passed his own boyhood in New York's own Ghetto, the lower East Side, has become known as an artist for his peculiarly powerful studies of the types of that district. One of the interesting bits of New York "atmosphere" may be shattered and lost before many weeks. The Players are debating the matter of moving their clubhouse up town to a district nearer the working places of our theatrical people than is the lovely and glorified spot facing Gramercy Park. Against those utilitarians who point out the difficulty in an actor dropping down from the West Forties to spend an hour in the East Twenties, the older element in the club maintains that the abandonment of No. 16 Gramercy Park would desecrate hallowed memories of the founder of The Players, Edwin Booth, who bought the house in 1883 and presented it to the club, and whose statute looks constantly across the Park at his beloved Institution. The interest taken by the average human being in seeing things get done and having a part in the doing of them is rather aptly illustrated by the plan used by a local corporation in helping to finance its work. Some time ago, the Commonwealth Hotel Corporation, anxious to push its work faster, issued what were called "gold Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying RAIDING THE U. S. NAVY MESSRS. REED AND HARVEY PART Sacramento Bee The action of the house appropriations committee in cutting in half the appropriation for fuel oil for the navy is further evidences of a movement in congress to go far beyond the arms parley in搀apping the American fleet. Already it is seriously proposed to deny commissions to next year's graduating class at Annapolis and at the same time reduce the navy personnel to 50,000 men. The cut in the fuel appropriations, according to navy department officials means the practical tieup up of the fleet at the docks. It needs no expert to point out what this means from the standpoint of efficiency. When Secretary Hughes proposed to the powers the 5-5-3 ratio finally accepted, it was presumed that this was the standard which the United States would maintain. Otherwise, all the solemn debate on the subject, together with its inclusion in the terms of a treaty, becomes a mockery. But if the crippling process is continued in congress, American naval strength, instead of being maintained on a par with that of Great Britain, will sink below that of Japan. And the Flag will have been dipped not by external aggression, but by internal foes. Is the nation in for another visitation of hysterical pacifism such as dominated its thought during the first Wilson administration? The attitude of a large element in congress toward the navy is not reassuring on this point. New York World Reed & Harvey, Inc., which did a bonanza business during 1920 in the casting of suspicion on all foreign nations, was formally dissolved on Washington's birthday. Reed is still doing business at the old stand, having kept his grip on the liabilities and the bad-will of the firm. But Harvey is at the Court of St. James praising the English until they squirm with embarrassment. All this was in the nature of things bound to happen. The moment it was settled that George Harvey had to go abroad to protect Mr. Harding from the consequences either of persistent affection or of unrequited love. It was also settled that George Harvey would take on, in the most garish hue possible, the color of smart society in the capital to which he was accredited. He is now more English than the English. But had he gone to France, who can doubt that he would have made M. Polincare's patriotism seem pale? Or if to Italy, that the Roman eagle would have flapped its wings exuberantly? But just as George Harvey was bound to overwhelm the English with his love, so Jim Reed was bound to stay right here and hate all foreigners without votes. Harvey could not go abroad without insisting on playing the courtier, and Reed could not go abroad because he long ago decided that he was too good for any foreigner. The cure for crime, in some cases, would be effected by catching the habitual criminal and imprisoning him for life. It is very sure that the imprisoned criminal is cured of his penchant for committing crimes. Harry Fellinge, Brunswick Phones. Couples who have no homes are doing their spooning in railroad stations.

Some time ago, the Commonwealth Hotel Corporation, anxious to push its work faster, issued what were called "gold notes." They were really just "promises to pay" backed by the company itself and were to be redeemable in cash or common stock. Some financiers told them it couldn't be done; that people wouldn't just lend money to a concern only just starting to construct its assets; that some with gambling tendencies might buy stock in such an enterprise, but notes paying seven per cent? Never. But they did. They took the issue without any urging. The notes are being called at the end of this month, but most of their holders are turning them into common stock in the corporation, due to the rapid progress made in construction of the hotel and the certainty of its being open in 1922. Town in Review I was walking through the orchard the other day and heard the song of a meadowlark. To me, there are few sweeter sounds. I recall that Alice Wellington Rollins once said of the meadowlark's lay: "One longs to go out and hunt in the grass for the lovely.

Medbury Couples who have no homes are doing their spooning in railroad stations. They go down to the depot and kiss each other every time a train comes in. One suitor spent his courtship this way, and after he got married he kissed his wife every time he heard a train whistle. His wife didn't mind it so much until they moved down near a round-house. Couples who live in small cities don't get much chance to spoon. If they miss one train they've got to wait three or four hours for another hug. One country chap got his training in a little town, and when he moved to New York he was a riot in the Grand Central. He got so that he was kissing his sweetheart right on schedule. He became so efficient that he could tell her when she was going to get another hug without even looking at the time table. She got sore at him one day when a train came in and he forgot to kiss her, but he consoled her by telling her he was on the second section. His sweetheart got so that she could tell by his kisses what trains were coming in. As soon as he'd hug her she'd know whether it was a Boston local or the 20th Century Limited. He didn't care what trains he met. If the Twentieth Century Limited was late, he'd go over and meet the Chicago Express and then he'd meet a couple of locals between times. He even got so that he'd go down to the water front and meet the night boat from Albany. He was always in the Grand Central when there were any trains due. He'd kiss his sweetheart good-bye on one track and then welcome her back on another. She got so that she had to carry a time table to tell whether she was arriving or leaving.

Los Angeles Street Phone 259 Those Who Sleep Little Hard to Get Al BERLIN, March 21.—"Sleep away half your life, and then you will have double enjoyment from the other half." That is the advice of Professor Karl Ludwig Schleich, natural scientist, physician and philosopher. Men or women who sleep little are hard to get along with. Ask the girl or man whom you want to marry if he or she is a "long sleeper" before you propose. Many a matrimonial craft is wrecked on the hidden reefs of "too little sleep." This is the theory expounded by Professor Schleich in his latest book, "Some Everyday Facts," saying that any one who gets his full quota of sleep can work three times as rapidly and enjoy life with a hundred-fold more intensity. Happiness is nothing more or less than a matter of having had enough sleep. Marital unhappiness would be avoided, and the world's register of crimes would be diminished if the laws of sleep were not systematically disregarded. The capability and efficiency of a nation, indeed, its entire cultural niveau in the last analysis, rests upon the recognition of this great law of nature. A scientific examination of the sympathetic nerve complex, which, like a net work of fingers produces the most ravishing accords upon the organ of the brain—reveals injuries wrought upon the physical and mental organism by too little sleep. During sleep, this nervous apparatus shakes off all the exigencies of everyday life, and becomes more or less automatic and negative in its operations. If not granted this respite, deep fissures are rent in the very foundation of life, and the blood coursing through the veins is given no chance to be regenerated. Night workmen and "night hawks," who like to "bum" into the wee small hours are always pale and anaemic persons who suffer from unconquerable sleepliness, because they are unconsciously longing for the regeneration of blood which eats during sleep. Sleep signifies the body and the re-oiling machinery is kept up during the waking hour. Professor Schleich stories told about people only three or four hours humbug.
