Time is wasted wantonly. And yet time is the very essence—the bone and sinew of existence. Many a friendship is destroyed by presumptuous familiarity. No matter how intimate and warm a friendship may be, over-familiarity with wreck it, in time. Coal miners and mine operators are preparing to wage a bitter battle. And the missiles they will hurl will fall upon the public and do inestimable harm among those who have no direct connection with this industry. It is outrageously unfair and should not be. A few years ago Herbert C. Hoover, national food administrator, was calling upon the American people to abstain from waste of food and to eat sparingly, so that "Hooverizing" became a fixed term in the language of the day. But today Mr. Hoover as Secretary of Commerce is encouraging the people to eat in abundance and to produce vast quantities of foodstuff for export, as well as for domestic use, Times change. The state ballot, in California, in November, will contain a long list of proposals, several of them of great importance—all of them deserving mature consideration by the electors. The question arises: Are there not too many of these proposals at one time, upon the ballot? Is not the voter asked to register his judgment on a confusing number? VICE AND CRIME WAR ON THE POLICE Organized warfare against courageous chiefs of police and members of police departments who are fearless in the performance of duty, is conducted in all large cities by the cohorts of vice and crime. This startling fact is stressed, by the published statements of Chief of Police Everington of Los Angeles. His caustic criticism of conditions there; of contrivance of certain elements with the lawless and the vicious, for selfish gain or for political preferment, reveals nothing but what is known to be common to large centers of population in this country. It is popularly supposed that the police everywhere are militantly arrayed against vice and crime, and that vice and crile hide in the dark, quaking with fear. But too often the picture is exactly the reverse. Vice and crime in many cities flourish openly and brazenly; they bribe the weaker, more sordid members of the police; others they frighten into harmless inaction by threatening them and members of their families with bodily harm or with trumped-up scandal. So it is come to pass that many a police department is virtually on the defensive, with vice and crime holding the upper hand, entrenched in power, aided by unfaithful police officers and patrolmen and oftentimes assisted by the so-called best citizens of the community who have selfish axes to grind. But it should be said in fairness, that chiefs of police, subordinate police officers and men on beats are honest and fearless, generally speaking. The dishonest, treacherous ones are a small minority. In the smaller cities, particularly, the integrity and morale of the police are above question. The state ballot, in California, in November, will contain a long list of proposals, several of them of great importance—all of them deserving mature consideration by the electors. The question arises: Are there not too many of these proposals at one time, upon the ballot? Is not the voter asked to register his judgment on a confusing number and variety of questions and candidacies? Simplifying the ballot and keeping down the number of proposals it would tend to improve the quality of the decisions rendered by the people. One sublimine mission of the United States as a world-power can be and should be, to influence and to lead the world farther and farther along the pathway of peace, through international compacts founded upon sincerity, good faith and good will. Concrete demonstration has just been achieved in this. The work of the Arms Conference is but a beginning. Its historic achievements should be amplified, and the United States should take the initiative in this. There is no grander service that this Nation can render mankind than this. PEACE RULES MEXICO; IS GREAT BOON General Obregon seemingly has subdued all his political enemies and has suppressed every serious attempt to start armed revolution in Mexico. This has been accomplished without resorting to cruel, bloody reprisals. It has been done, too, without the prestige that President Obregon would have had if this government were officially recognized by the United Statts. It is true that he has had and has the warm sympathy of the border states—California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. This sentiment in his favor has considerable weight below the border. But, for the most part, General Obregon has brought about pacification by wise, statesmanly methods. It is a blessed thing for Mexico and for all of America that General Obregon is a man of speace and of honor. He is not craftily ambitious—not seeking selfishly to promote his own personal fortunes regardless of the ways and means. He is sincerely endeavoring to maintain peace and to promote orderly progress. Under his administration Mexico has enjoyed the first real peace since the days of Porfirio Díaz. Whatver mistakes of administration he may have made, he should be credited with bringing this blessed consummation of peace and order and comparative safety for foreigners in Mexico. BE KIND TO ANIMALS AND BE HAPPIER Humant societies and societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, are arranging for fitting observance of "Be Kind to Animals Week," which begins April 24, ending with Humane Sunday, April 30. Protection of the helpless against wanton cruelty has made great headway during the last few years, thanks to the zeal of many humanitarians, who have devoted much time, labor and money to furtherance of this good work. Humane impulses make men, women and children better and happier. Being kind to animals has a refining influence, while, on the other hand, cruelty to animals has a brutalizing effect upon the nature of the one who is thus cruel. Children should be taught to shield weak and helpless creatures; whether they be human or animal. Training along this line is enobling. Observe "Be Kind to Animals Week" by being especially kind and by resolving to be humane in all your relations with human beings and in all your treatment of animals. GOVERNMENT'S AID FOR SELF-HELP ONLY Aid from the federal government to private interests never should be regarded as a fixed thing, to be leaned upon indolently as a prop. Government's help should be purposed primarily to promote self-help. The industry, for example, which seeks a bonus of subvention of some kind from the national government, should be aided only with the intent and understanding that such aid is to be but temporary, provided it be at all possible for such industry to become self-supporting as against foreign competition. No parasitic group of industries, individuals or corporations should be developed in this country by lavish and ill-advised subsidizing by the government of private interests which do not need nor deserve permanent help from official Washington.

Have the British decided to take all the risks that may follow the arrest of Gandhi, the native leader? Is it their intention to try out the Indian organization of non-co-operation to find just what it amounts to. On the surface that seems to be what has happened. The events of the next few days, perhaps weeks, may bring the explanation the answer to the puzzle. If the British government is daily growing alarmed at the success of the imitation of the Irish tactics, the arrest of Gandhi may be the lighted match applied to the fuse which will blow up the charge of explosives somewhere concealed by the Indians. If the parallel holds good in India the world should prepare itself for one of the greatest spectacles human eyes have ever rested upon. But what is possible in a small country such as Ireland, with a few millions of population, might be impossible in a large country like India, with a population of 300,000,000. But suppose the parallel of success in tactics should be found in India, the outcome will be fare reaching. It will be a success which will shake the world. One strong hope in the official British mind is that the people of the southern half of India, the residents of the cities and towns, can be held in an attitude of loyalty to the government, because such a position would in the long run be for the advantage of the natives. The British officials have made good use of this propaganda, but to what actual concrete effect no one knows except those immediately concerned.. They have pointed out to the people of the southern provinces that the withdrawal of the British military force will be the signal for a marauding expedition from the hill tribes of the north, those fierce and warlike natives barely restrained by the might SCIENTIFIC ANCIENT TAXA Brooklyn Eagle Ptolemy Philadelphus, who 246 years before Christ, was nohibitionist, no reformer.

BOBBED In Chicago an average of 2500 women a day are getting their hair bobbed. In Anaheim the "habit" is increasing. Is bobbed hair coming as a permanent institution? It is only a few generations since all men wore their hair long. No doubt, the men who pioneered the short-hair fad were ridiculed. A few years from now, the woman without bobbed hair may be a curiosity. Once cut, they generally like it. That is the first requisite for making a fad into an established custom. A Univ. of Calif. professor says woman will rule the world in 1977. We see no reason to doubt it. She has been ruling for several thousand years and we can think of no special reason for her to act any differently in '77. WEAK With Canned Goods week over, we suggest: Puffed Prune week.

Name Street City Mighty and Shall Prevail Studebaker Merit Wins Studebaker is a specialist. Builds nothing but Sixes. Its efforts are not scattered. Its entire resources, unsurpassed in the automobile industry, are devoted to a single, fixed purpose: to build well, by using the finest materials, and most skillful workmanship and to sell at the lowest prices possible. How well Studebaker has succeeded best answered by the records cars from the Studebaker factories this year are 106 per cent more (at the time this ad was written) than for the same period of 1921. That's proof that merit wins. Buyers will not be fooled by wild misrepresentations. Motor cars are now being bought on the basis of merit. The intrinsic value of today's Studebaker cars surpasses pre-war values. Never before have we given so much nothing but Sixes. Its efforts are not scattered. Its entire resources, unsurpassed in the automobile industry, are devoted to a single, fixed purpose: to build well, by using the finest materials, and most skillful workmanship and to sell at the lowest prices possible. How well Studebaker has succeeded is best answered by the records. In the calendar year of 1921, Studebaker produced and sold more six cylinder cars than any other manufacturer in the world. From present indications the sales record of Studebaker cars in 1922 will greatly exceed 1921. Reports from Studebaker dealers from all parts of the country show a big increase in sales this year over the same period of 1921. Shipments of MODELS AND PRICES LIGHT-SIX 5-Pass., 112' W.B., 40 H.P.
