DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Well do vanished frowns enhance The charms of every brightened glance, And dearer seems each dawning smile For having lost its light awhile. Moore. One cannot be a good citizen by proxy. Selfishness fills the world with woe. It is at the root of more misery than any other evil. The law against murder becomes a travesty when the murderer is not punisher as the law provides. Mystery murder trials usually turn out to be serials in California, running to two or three installments. Why not have an outgo tax—that is, tax every dollar that is spent extravagantly, wastefully and foolishly? Buy a house and lot, or buy a lot and build upon it. Own your own home and revel in the pride that comes to those who own their homes. Europe must get on its economic feet without treading on Uncle Sam's corns. This Nation will co-operate, in reasonable measure, but it will not let itself become Europe's economic scapegoat. Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson of the army recently wrote a letter to Harding telling him of certain weaknesses in the military service and now he is courtmartialed. And he ought to be. The president is commander-in-chief of the army and he ought to be kept in ignorance of its affairs. And of everything else. LOVE OF MOTHER FOR HER SOLDIER BOY What noble and beautiful thing is there under heaven worthy to be compared with mother love? Contemplate the devotion of Mrs. Margaret Anderson of Sloux Falls, S. D., who, despite her 63 years, walked all the way to Washington to intercede with President Harding for the pardon of her son from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas. Mrs. Anderson says that the President promised to pardon her son, and insinuated as the boy was a gallant soldier who was wounded and gassed in the Meuse-Argonne offensive and who was invalided home and whose offense was running away from a hospital and re-enlisting in the army, President Harding doubtless will see his way clear to release the boy without serious breach of army discipline. Mother devotion like this deserves especial consideration. COAL MINING CRISIS IS APPROACHING All bituminous and anthracite coal miners affiliated with the United Mine Workers of America—numbering some 600,000 men—are called to strike on April 1. Unless some means of settlement should be found in meantime, there will ensure the worst paralyzing of the coal-mining industry the country ever has experienced—for this is the first time that bituminous and anthracite miners have been called to strike simultaneously. The controversy hinges upon wages. Miners and operators have been unable to agree. The last hope of preventing the general suspension of mine work seems to lie with federal government. Some way may be found by the Washington authorities to get the two sides together before the strike is to begin. Should there be a strike, it would entail great hardship, suffering and loss upon the town in it with the pure. Somebody in stirred up a horrific working girl or a year.

And he ought to be. The president is commander-in-chief of the army and he ought to be kept in ignorance of its affairs. And of everything else. Some public speakers bring out the words haltingly, while others speak with fluency and readiness. In other words, some must pump hard to bring up the words from the reservoirs of language, while others there is a gravity flow from the fountains of words. He or she who willfully and maliciously spreads a slanderous tale not only should be punished by law, but should be required to go to each and every one to whom the libel was told and deny it and admit that it was a lie. The assassination of a good name should be dealt with as a serious offense, which it is. The United States exported more grains and foodstuffs last year than any nation ever sent out of its borders in twelve months in all the history of the human race. The American farmer was equal to the occasion. He had produced an enormous crop and there was abundance to send to foreign lands. The American farmer never will fail the world as a producer extraordinary. Some method less-cruel and hurtful to the public and to all concerned must be found to take the place of the strike and the lockout, in industrial controversies. The dictates of reason and the promptings of human impulses should impel labor and capital to exhaust every possible means of reaching agreement without suspending vital industries for an indefinite period, in bitter industrial struggles. No one can send a substitute to the polls to vote for him or her. There can be no substituting in this phase of citizenly functioning. Each eligible elector must qualify and vote for himself or herself, or default in one of the very important prerogatives of the good citizen—that is, voting, and helping thereby to determine who shall hold office and what principles and methods shall prevail in government. The controversy hinges upon wages. Miners and operators have been unable to agree. The last hope of preventing the general suspension of mine work seems to lie with federal government. Some way may be found by the Washington authorities to get the two sides together before the strike is to begin. Should there be a strike, it would entail great hardship, suffering and loss upon the country. Herbert C. Hoover, in his luncheon address before the Los Angeles C. of C., Tuesday, brot out some startling facts relating to the mining of bituminous coal. Th coal miner works on an average only 182 days per year, while workers in other industries are employed from 280 to 325 days yearly. The number of soft coal mines in operation exceeds by 40 per cent the needs of the country. Hence these mines must lie idle or work part time for a large fraction of each year. Miners who work 182 days annually cling to the mining industry and demand and expect the full amount, in the aggregate, that they would get if the mines were working as steadily as does the normal industry. It other words, the miner who works 182 days a year, expects to receive practically the same total of compensation as does the worker who puts in 280 to 325 days per year. Here is an economic problem affecting the miner, mine operator and the general public. Mr. Hoover ventured no suggestion as to the remedy. But he stressed the point that a remedy must be found before the mining industry can be stabilized. WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF The more a man knows, the less he has to say about it. A woman's face often tells what sort of a husband she has. Impudent employees keep down the dividends more than hard times. Jealousness never satisfied until it discovers what it suspects. The word "pleasure" is getting so it stands for things parents don't tell their children. A good looking daughter reduces electric and gas bills. Table etiquette is forgotten when the stomach is empty.

Somebody in Topeka, Kans., has stirred up a hornet's nest by saying a working girl could dress on $7.50 a year. Topeka folk should bear in mind the fact that in our modern civilization a girl must wear something more than a hat. Florida scientists claim to have found another lost race. Why don't they let Bryan alone? Brains A "moonshine" vender was arrested in Omaha. Police Judge Wippick made him this offer: "If you drink a glass of your own hooch I'll turn you free." "I'll go to jail," the bootlegger decided quickly. There always were more real brains behind the bar than on the brass rail side when it came to liquor. The character of the debate on the Pacific four-power treaty is not such as to fill a glorious page in the animals of the country. Things have been said in the Senate, in this debate, which were far better left unsaid. This From Bryan's State, Too We were getting a dollar six bits for our corn. We could sell every hide from hoof to horn— We wanted a chance and we got it. Now we're getting a quarter for corn. It's so cheap.

If the movies got into politics and became great instruments of political persuasion, censorship would be obliged to keep its hands off, unless politicall-rights were to be obliterated. A censorship which tried to control political expression would be dic- NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, March 27.—Westerners who relate in vaunting terms the wonders of living on a mountain which gives them an earlier and later glow of the sun because of their elevation above th horizon and the surrounding country have nothing whatver on the pitted denizens of Manhattan sky-scrapers. "My office on the 34th floor gains a whole hour's daylight," said one man the other day. "It makes that much actual difference in my working schedule, too." New York not only has the highest buildings in the world, but they stand for the most art near the center of Manhattan Island, decidedly higher than the rivers and exposed to the sun when it rises and sets. After the sun sets at the street it takes almost half an hour for it to disappear from the view of the man at the top of the building. Women who vote and sit on political party committees and share all the rest of the burdens and rights of citizenship are not going to let a figure of a man disdaining the efforts of woman to pull him from his high moral perch, be the symbol of civile virtue in our city—not without protest, at least. The much talked-of sculptured group which was to face the city hall has aroused a clamor on the part of these same women and ganda, but simply to discuss it and show it. Margaret Wycherly will head the cast. Actual magic of alchemy would hardly be more amuse than the natural exhibits over at the flower show. Amaryllis, with deep rich red blossoms as large as church bells, and carnations as big as cabbages are among the wonders there. The carnations are so large that they are hardly recognizable, and there is one remarkable speciment which is blue in the daytime and lavender at night. Says JohnP. Medbury Seasickness is a terrible thing. The first hour you have it you're afraid you're going to die and the next hour you're afraid you're not. One guy was in the middle of the ocean and got so seasick he started looking around for some land. Then a real estate agent came up and sold him two lots. He could hardly wait for the boat to land he was so anxious to lie down on both of them. We could sell every hide from hoof to horn— We wanted a chance and we got it. Now we're getting a quarter for corn. It's so cheap That we burn it for fuel, our toes to warm keep We can't sell the hides, so we bury them deep— But we wanted a chance and we got it. The poor working man pulled down eight bucks a day. Now he's darn glad to work for half of that pay— But he wanted a chance and he got it. There was work and plenty for every man's son, And warm food and shelter when work was done; Now millions are idol, heretofore there was none— But we wanted a chance and we got it. Mr. Wilson spent quite a long time "over there"; For peace he was fighting, but what did we care We wanted a chance and we got it. Now all we read of is golf and vacations, Gay week-ends at summer resorts and plantations; Not what we expect from the head of a nation— But we wanted a chance and we got it. We were prosperous and happy, well fed and gay, Now millions of children go hungry each day— We wanted a chance and we got it. Meanwhile we hear this: "It was certain to come—Reaction from war time," and war three years done. If we wanted a lemon we sure did pick one— We wanted a chance and we got it. —Omaha World Herald. How Would You Say It? "FRANKENSTEIN" This is a word that is very seldom if ever, heard in speech, but it is one that is used with a fair degree of frequency by literary persons, and is therefore found in their writings. But it is commonly used incorrectly. It comes from a story by Mrs. Shelley, published about a century ago. In the tale of a German student of physiology named Frankenstein constructs a human being of fragments, endows it with life by some mysterious process and is forever after haunted by the creature, which finally destroys him. Hence, a Frankenstein, is properly speaking, anyone who constructs something that destroys him. But many writers confuse the women who vote and sit on political party committees and share all the rest of the burdens and rights of citizenship are not going to let a figure of a man disdaining the efforts of woman to pull him from his high moral perch, be the symbol of civic virtue in our city—not without protest, at least. The much talked of sculptured group which was to face the city hall has aroused a clamor on the part of these same women and poor Mayor Hylan is beginning to grasp something of the meaning woman scorned. He has consequently written a letter to the board of estimate, suggesting that in view of the fact that objection has been made that the statue degrades womanhood, it might be well to have a public hearing on it before it is set in place. We are at last having exhibitions in our shop windows of the really long new skirts. Those of us who sputtered a few months ago when the edict went forth for eight and nine inches from the floor instead of 12 and 14, have no alternative left now except to gasp instead of sputter. Why eight inches will look like a bathing suit compared to these drooping hems—if we finally accept them. Albert Bruning in Shaw's "Back to Methuselah," now produced in three sections by the Theatre Guild; undoubtedly holds the endurance championship. So as far as any records show, he has the most lines to memorize and give of any actor in any part in the history of the drama. Hamlet has always been the record role so far as that is concerned, and in one of the three sections alone, Mr. Bruning matches Hamlet. Hamlet has 10,000 words, but they are almost always cut and are scattered through the five acts. Mr. Bruning has 6,000 in one act. The announcement that two young women of this city, Miss Cordella Lee and Miss Grace Hofheimer, have been awarded scholarships at the Fontainebleau School of Music calls attention to the new use to which this beautiful and historic palace just outside of Paris is now dedicated. The French government in expressing its appreciation of the assistance given by America to needy French musicians during the war, has turned over this wonderful building for a summer school of music for Americans. The appointments are made or approved by the governor of each of our states. The American committee through its chairman, Mrs. George Montgomery Tuffie, of East Seventy-fifth-st., announces that one hundred scholarships have been awarded for the coming season. In this season of unusual plays, there will be still one more far removed from the ordinary dramatic expectations. It is "Taboo," which will open next month for a series of special matinees. The play tells a takes almost half an hour for it to disappear from the view of the man at the top of the building. Seasickness is a terrible thing. The first hour you have it you're afraid you're going to die and the next hour you're afraid you're not. One guy was in the middle of the ocean and got so seasick he started looking around for some land. Then a real estate agent came up and sold him two lots. He could hardly wait for the boat to land he was so anxious to lie down on both of them. This was the only time he ever envied the people in the cemeteries. He hated water so much that he wired his valet to sell the bath tub. He used to think that Abraham Lincoln was a hero, but he switched to Noah. He liked land so well that he resolved when he got back to the United States he was going to run for Secretary of the Navy. He was so crazy for some earth that he ordered lettuce with Thousand Island dressing. He likes boat trips, but he'd rather travel on them while they're in dry dock. One guy was an interpreter and he got seasick in seven languages. He was only on the water three days, but he got to hate food so much he nearly killed the captain when he told him they were near the Sandwich Isles. One of the officers told him that the captain never got seasick, so he put the captain's coat on. He said the next time he takes an ocean voyage he is going to take some land along with him. He figures on buying an island and tying it to the back of the boat. He admitted that Columbus discovered America, but he must have been seasick when he did it. When a man is seasick there's only one thing to do and he always does it. GIRL TO UNDERTAKE CHINA MISSION WORK NEW YORK, March 27. Miss Esther Glasgow of Long Beach, Cal., will sail from San Francisco for Shanghai, China, as a secretary for the board of foreign missions. Miss Glasgow goes in response to an emergency call for workers on account of the national Christian convention to be held in Changhai in May. She has been secretary to Dr. William J. frequency by literary persons, and is therefore found in their writings. But it is commonly used incorrectly. It comes from a story by Mrs. Shelley, published about a century ago. In the tale of a German student of physiology named Frankenstein constructs a human being of fragments, endows it with life by some mysterious process and is forever after haunted by the creature, which finally destroys him. Hence, a Frankenstein, is properly speaking, anyone who constructs something that destroys him. But many writers confuse the creator and the creature, and call the latter Frankenstein. This error in literary English is due in part to the fact that the author of the story of Frankenstein gave no name to the monster. Don't Say Where do you live at? Where are you going to?

GIBBS LUMBER ANAHEIM Phone 201 L. A. POLICE CHIEF STARTS CLEANUP LOS ANGELES, March 27—Further changes in the police force are promised by Chief of Police Everington in his efforts to clean up the city. "I am going on with my cleanup campaign and carry it to the absolute limit. Nothing — political factors, moneyed interests or any other influence — is going to stop me." "If I have to resort to the 'evangelistic reform platform' or the solicitation of a business men's fund to aid me in my efforts, I will do it. All I ask is the public's faith in my sincerity and time to accomplish my results." "On my lists are tabulated accounts of commercialized vice, protected gambling and objectionable hotels. It will get them — every one of them — no matter whose toes I trample on. In my investigations are names of prominent business men, 'pillars of churches' and men prominent and highly respected in their communities — up-to-date characterizations of the fictional Jekyll and Hyde. There are business interests that openly countenance vice and whose financial resources would be greatly reduced by a curtailing of their illegal practices. My campaign purpose is this: Any man, big or little, whose motives are crooked is going to be reached and punished. No attempts to strictly enforce the prohibition law in Los Angeles will be made by the police until either an act is passed by the city council or the Wright act has been ratified by the state. "I am here only to carry out the dictates of the people, and California has apparently seceded from the rest of the Union as far as the Eighteenth Amendment is concerned." Los Angeles is the cleanest city in the country, said J W Joos, who is in charge of the morals enforcement department of the district attorney's office. Joos added that the city was being hurt by statements like those of Everington. Owners of apartment houses, proprietors of hotels and rooming houses are co-operating with the district attorney. Joos declared, The streets of the city are like those of a country village, said Joos. SCREEN STAR HAS STRENUOUS TIME The mistaken theory that addresses lead easy lives is given a decided rap by the record of Dorothy Dalton, featured player in "Moran of the Laddy Letty," George Melford's production for Paramount showing at the Fairyland theatre, commencing today. Rudolph Valentino is the leading man. It isn't always luxurious settings, gorgeous gowns and perfect conveniences. In this picture, which is an adaptation of a novel by the late Frank Norris, Miss Dalton takes leave entirely of fine clothing and beautiful settings. Although subject to seasickness, she was compelled to work for days in a heavy sea on the deck of a sailing ship. Garbed in a pair of overalls and a flannel shirt and sailor's canvas shoes, she had to fight with knives against a horde of murderous brigands, and for the sake of the story, to knock down several mutinous sailors with her bare fists. To make it realistic, she had to hit her hardest. She had to act on a slippery, rocking deck, with spray blowing all about her. She was rescued from a burning vessel and fought with the man she afterwards came to love. "Like any other profession," observed Miss Dalton, "those who get there on the screen have to work hard and after they've gotten there, they have to work still harder to stay put."
