DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS I would have my love Angry sometimes, to sweeten off the rest. Of her behavior.—Ben Jonson. The names we call other people often fit us better than them. Arguments settled with brickbats have to be settled over again. All men outgrow romance, but women never do, no matter how long they live. In the University of Hard Knocks there are no honorary degrees for shirkers. Meet the "wave of crime" with a breakwater of rigid, relentless enforcement of law. The factions in Ireland do not seem to be kissing the Blarney stone much, these days. The injustice about the sowing of wild oats is, that the innocent oftentimes have to do the reaping. Vote the city improvement bonds on April 11, and keep Pasadena in the forefront of growing cities. If inclined to become impatient with the frailties of others, remember how patient the Lord is with you. There is no love on earth like mother love. There is no devotion this side of heaven worthy to be compared with it. A university professor intimates that Thomas A. Edison is senile. Heaven send this country more of the Edison brand of senility! It might be stretching the figure RATIFICATION OF PACT EPOCHAL EVENT The sacred fruits or the blood and tears and agonies and prayers of a thousand years are being garnered. Ratification, by the United States Senate, of the four-power Pacific treaty, to be followed without doubt, by acceptance of the other treaties and agreements formulated by the Arms Conference, marks the greatest practical advancement toward universal peace ever made, at a given time, in the history of the human race. The whole path from war to permanent peace is not traversed. There should be no illusions as to this. But such tremendous progress has been made, that nothing short of sheer madness on the part of the most advanced nations of the world would lead the earth back to the old ways of militarism and competitive armaments. The prayers of peace lovers of all ages are coming gradually to fulfillment. Prayers and efforts are yet required. The dogs of war are not unbreakably chained and not effectually banished from the earth. But the glorious cause of peace has received its greatest impetus. If its ardent friends everywhere keep up the fight without relaxing, it will roll on and on, gathering momentum with the years, until nations and peoples will forget to make war. Let not all the glory be attributed to those who are immediately responsible for these epochal peace treaties. Give them great credit. But forget not those other Great-hearts who in the immediate and remote past strove valiantly for universal peace. Forget not that health-shattered figure in Washington — Woodrow Wilson — whose burning words and lofty deeds in behalf of world peace had potent influence and will illumine the pages of history. There is glory Town in H Well, anyway, since got to be so expensive nearly so many peeps walk for people to buy on. When a newspaper marriage as "the end romance" it is hard truth than poetry.

Heaven send this country more of the Edison brand of senility! It might be stretching the figure of speech too far to say that the United States Shipping board is all at sea as to the future of the vessels in its charge. These are days when the boy would rather go hunting, fishing or hiking than to hoe in the garden. And father can remember the time when he felt the same way about it. In some quarters it seems to be regarded as an infamous thing for the United States to co-operate with great Britain and Japan to preserve the peace of the world. The grimmest joke of the season was the proposal, seriously made in some quarters, to make the motion picture colony "chemically pure" by removing it from Hollywood to New York! Many members of the house have used the bonus measure to make political capital. They have been for it vociferously, well knowing that it cannot be gotten through the senate at this session. The evils of monetary inflation are glaringly illustrated in the case of Russia. It has the greatest volume of printed currency of any country under the sun, yet it is the poorest nation on earth.

Anaheim Phone 794 POULTRY FEEDS From Farmer to Consumer NEED STATESMANSHIP OF HIGH ORDER Statesmanship of the highest type is demanded at Washington today, and in the crucial years to come. Statesmanship of sincerity and courage — unfailing sincerity and unfaltering courage, is needed. The national capital should be adorned by statesmanship far above mediocrity in ability—far above the average in daring and in initiative. The Nation requires the services of super-excellent statesmen, or grave consequences are threatened. The American political system unfortunately discourages, rather than encourages, at times, the very kind of statesmanly acumen that the Nation most sorely needs. Let a man in high place at Washington strike out boldly to perform a great administrative or legislative service to his country, and the chances are that he will be pounced upon by this, that or the other faction or interest, and his efforts systematically opposed and he, mayhap, ridiculed and abused before the country and his whole attitude and purpose flagrantly misrepresented. The great statesman, who honestly seeks greatly to serve his country, travels a rough, rocky, thorny road. It is true in this country; it is true in every democratic country. This captious criticising—this deluging of public men with abuse and repression by selfish groups—is a weakness of government. There seem to be no cure for it, however, except to educate the people away from it. And this educative process requires time, effort and patience. That Genoa conference will be in the nature of a tuning-fork to show whether or not Europe is in tune with the grand chorus of economic rehabilitation that is being heard on this side of the Atlantic.

NEW YORK, March 28.—We may have public radio concerts added to our music programs in our city parks within the near future. Mayor Hyland has been authorized by the city to appoint a committee to investigate thoroughly the possibilities of a musical broadcasting station for the purpose of broadcasting high class concerts. Is this another sign of a growing internationalism in America? E. Phillips Oppenheim, the story writer here for the first time in 12 years, finds our reporters entirely different in their questions from what they were at the time of his last visit. He says that the American interviewer has stopped talking about the tall buildings and the American girl and now reveals instead an unsuspected interest in world affairs and the talk of the literary shop. A group of children, mostly Italian, were pressing their noses against the window of a Washington Square tearoom the other day in a way embarrassing to the diners within. Then they added screams to their general disturbance. One of the women threw open the outer door—her after dinner cigarette in her hand. "Girls, do you think it's lady-like to make so much noise when people are trying to talk?" she asked. They were silent for a moment, then one little Italian girl stepped forward. "Well, my mother wouldn't think it was lady-like of you to smoke cigarettes, either," she explained. The woman hesitated. "I suppose there is something in what you say," she said slowly and returned to her table, looking thoughtful. Americans insist upon writing their own letters. An Englishman who made a very comfortable living in London as a public letter writer has announced that he would starve at the business here in New York. I've been trying for weeks to get clients," he said, "but there are none to be had, apparently. It was a good business on the other side. But here—No, Americans prefer arrested. The clock was produced. "But I needed it," pleaded the poor thief in extenuation of his crime. "It wasn't like stealing anything that would give you amusement." New York City's underground workers and the space below—the surface of the street which is devoted to commercial enterprises would make a goodsized city all by themselves. In one day this week, eight residents of Brooklyn went out for walks, each by himself, and did not return, according to frantle reports made to the Bureau of Missing Persons. Potash and Perimutter are to make their return to Broadway. The Selwyns have acquired a new play dealing with the two characters made famous by Barney Barnard and Alexander Carr. The automobile business is the fertile field of their fresh activities. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Plain Dealer: Referring to my candidacy for the city council; The position is not always a pleasant one, nor is it a paying job. I am not now in business and I do not believe a man in business should be on the city council, as he can not do justice to the city without making enemies that will be felt in his own business. I've been in business in Anaheim more or less for 21 years as the old timers know that I am the man who put the "Q" in the S. Q. R. Store. The last year I have worked as inspector at the A. U. H. S. on the new school buildings, in which I have taken a great deal of interest. They say that when a man gets into politics he gets his pedigree rehashed. If you have anything to say, good or bad, come out in the press with it and let everyone know what they are selecting and who. The Civic League has endorsed me. FAIR WARNING Before you talk, add up the cost. It is a heavy price; Just think of all the friends you've lost By handing them advice. —Stolen. Man moves in mysterious ways his blunders to perform. What has become of the o.f. family which used to sit together in church? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it. Almighty God!

NO PLACE FOR A MINISTER Even though it is midwinter they are still killing snakes up in Nodaway county. And the worst of it is the newspapers have gotten a minister mixed up in it.—Moberly, Mo., Index. Dear Sir: I am a visitor to your fair city and have been entertained greatly by your column in the paper. So have decided to ask you if you can tell me what the following conversation meant. I was the uwilling listener: "Good morning, Jack, did your roof leak last night?" "Why, there was no rain last night." "Neither did mine." And then they both laughed. There must be some point to this, but being from the City of Angels, I am probably too dull to comprehend it. Can you enlighten me? —Walter Jarrett. Guess I'm a trifle dull, too. Having studied the above carefully, I have reached the conclusion that it is nothing but a lot of goldarned foolishness. However, it may be very deep stuff, such as many of our local highbrows frequently spring on an unprotected public. Americans insist upon writing their own letters. An Englishman who made a very comfortable living in London as a public letter writer has announced that he would starve at the business here in New York. "I've been trying for weeks to get clients," he said, "but there are none to be had, apparently." It was a good business on the other side. But here—No, Americans prefer their own letters whether they write them badly or well." Somehow, I like the thought of that. Fritz Leiber is to try his experienced Shakespearian wings in vaudeville. He has just opened an engagement in a vaudeville string of theaters, offering the oration scene from Julius Caesar. An alarm clock is not a thing to steal. Herbert J. Plate, of West Ninetenth-st, is willing to admit that now. When he was leaving a Sixthavenue drug store the other night, William H. Seaman, manager of the store, heard a sudden ringing of a bell, and the sound seemed to protrude from Plate's pocket. He summoned a policeman and had him ar How Things Originated Witch hazel, which was introduced into general use by the barber, is an American product derived from distilling the leaves and bark of a shrub known to botanists as Hamamellis virginica. This shrub grows along the eastern seaboard of America from Canada to Louisiana and is found in the damp portions of the woods. Witch hazel blooms in the autumn and its yellow flowers, with their thread-like petals, appear before the leaves. Like many of our medicines, whose origin is in the roots or bark of plants in our forests and fields, witch hazel was well known to the Indians long before it was discovered by white men. Its discovery for use as we have it today is said to be credited to a minister of the gospel—the Rev. Thomas Dickinson of Essex, Conn. He made no effort to promote its use beyond his own friends and congregation. Its general use began to spread when a druggist in the same town, some years later, put it on the market in bottles, and it soon came to be recognized as valuable for use in many ways in the medical profession. Most of us know the value of this product today for chapped skin and for seals and burns, but a great many of us have never stopped to think that this, like many other present-day household and medical remedies, is the product of the same kind of herbs and roots that our grandfathers and grandmothers gathered for themselves in the woods and used as medicines with the same effort as we use them today, only now the old Typewriters —The R.A. Tiernan Typewriter Co. wishes to announce to typewriter users that they can now purchase or rent all makes of machines locally, from Mr. E. D. Abrams, W. Center Street. Abrams Book Store 116 W.

Tuesday, March 28, 1922 Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying COLT WITH A FAMILY TREE—Detroit Journal A bay filly was born the other day on the Riddle farm in Lexington, Ky. She is more interested now in maintaining a stance on her rickety young legs than she is in her pedigree, which is a long affair splashed with stars. But horse lovers are concerned mightily over the young lady's appearance because they know her dad. She is the first colt sired by Man o' War. What will the future hold for this unnamed daughter of the king of the turf and patrician mother, Masquerader? Will she upset the ancient theory that anthropologists advance in histories of humankind and horsemen in racing animals; that the first child is not the best? AT THE END OF THE TRAIL We will rest in the shadows and dream of the past. And the days that we knew long ago. Ere we journey where skies are with sunbeams o'ercast, To a land where the blooms ever blow. We will marvel because of the joys we will share. In a clime free from storm or of gale. Past the hills of unrest and the valley of care. When we come to the end of life's trail. —Clipped. A MIRACLE I had a little Joy Fresh as a budded leaf, Life trampled it to bits. And changed it to a Grief. But when my Grief became A worn, beloved toy. Life broke it all to bits. And changed it back to Joy. —Charlotte Becker.
