Say it, with flowers—or language by radio. It is the motive that flavors the deed. California should not permit the denuding of its forests. This seems to be the open season for police raids in Los Angeles. The first Easter was not a fashion show. It is well to remember this. For each and every forest tree cut down in California, two or three should be planted. David Lloyd George may not be overturned in politics until Father Time does it. There is that in great and good music which arouses the soul, sometimes when nothing else will: Traffic item: Europe is not breaking the speed laws, rushing to Washington to pay its debts to the United States. It is the "generously good" who leave their "fooprints on the sands of time." The selfish and greedy leave hoofprints. It is difficult sometimes to distinguish ORANGE GROWERS SHOW RIGHT SPIRIT After the severe frosts of a few weeks ago in the citrus belt of Southern California, growers of oranges and lemons were put to test as to the quality of their honor. It can be said, to their credit, that almost without exception they have adhered to the requirements of state and federal inspection. It seems, however, that a shipment of a few carloads of oranges has been seized in Chicago and the charge is made that about 20 per cent of the fruit is frost-bitten. This case no doubt will be decided on its merits. But the impression should not be created that this is a common practice. Citrus growers of this state are jealous of the good name of their industry and the fame of their fruit for excellence of quality. They prefer to suffer temporary losses rather than to damage the reputation of the industry by putting inferior fruit upon the market. PANAMA CANAL DEFENSE OF VITAL IMPORT The House Appropriations committee, in proposing to make reductions in the American army garrison posts in the Panama Canal zone and in Hawaii, as an economy measure, has aroused the vigorous opposition of Secretary of War Weeks. He has told committees of Congress repeatedly that he would not be responsible for any reduction of garrisons at these vitally important outposts in the American scheme of Pacific defenses. On the contrary, Secretary Weeks says that it is the unanimous opinion of army experts that both of those garrisons should be increased. In consonance with plans to keep the canal zone adequately defended, Secretary Weeks announces that an air route to the zone soon is to be... There is that in great and good music which arouses the soul, sometimes when nothing else will. Traffic item: Europe is not breaking the speed laws, rushing to Washington to pay its debts to the United States. It is the "generously good" who leave their "fooprints on the sands of time." The selfish and greedy leave hoofprints. It is difficult sometimes to distinguish between a real compliment, on the one hand, and designing flattery on the other hand. The pessimist can turn out gloom in quantity production, but can hand out happiness and good cheer only in small packages. The marriage of a very poor person to a very wealthy one always has a meal-ticket flavor—or the interested public thinks it has. Emma Goldman says she regards Bolshevism as a blunder and a failure. She has been with it in person for two years, and should know. If the people do not read good literature, it is not the fault of the free public libraries. The good literature is there, to be had for the asking. The good friend is the one who abstains from deluging you with advice when he thinks you need it but when he knows that it would bore you.

Gazette Advertising during periods of lessened demand has proved to be one of the chief means of reducing seasonal unemployment, today a most serious handicap to American industry. Hundreds of thousands of men are laid off annually in the various trades because the sale of goods which they produce is limited to certain months. The President's Conference on Unemployment, in its efforts to formulate plans for reducing nation-wide joblessness, has found resourcefulness already mitigating this evil. Inquiries have brought to light, for example, that one New York company, which does a large business in dried fruits, by advertising to the consumer has lengthened the season for eating its products. A Cleveland firm manufacturing men's clothing, in which the styles fluctuate by seasons, has kept up continuous production by standardizing its products and advertising inducements to retailers for accepting deliveries over an extended period instead of only at the opening of the season. Another Ohio corporation which makes women's clothing has achieved the same results. It makes models according to carefully laid plans, and by advertising has inspired retailers with confidence in its judgment as to the goods and the seasonal demand for them. A Rochester men's clothing factory fills in dull periods between seasons by making a stock of conservative models, and advertising mid-season sales at prices which cover overhead but leave no profit. Pennsylvania manufacturers of glass, formerly a very intermittent industry, have stabilized considerably by lowering prices of goods ordered at certain seasons, and advertising this reduction. Customers have taken advantage of this cut, thus spreading work over the entire year and enabling the makers to keep on their employees. In Brooklyn a shoe corporation employing thousands now advertises throughout the year instead of only in season, and has induced its customers to co-operate by placing orders when the firm most needs them. NEW YORK, March 31.—We are keeping one of our most picturesque royal visitors with us considerably longer than she had planned upon. Because the British consul refuses to be responsible for her $3,000 diamond which she pawned not long ago, the Princess Fatima of Kabul, Afghanistan, is unable to leave the Fourth Avenue hotel. She refuses to go without the guarantee that her diamond, which is an heirloom, will not be sold before she can redeem it; and the hotel refuses to give up its hold on the diamond in lieu of any other method of payment. hardens the cloth is dipped in dye of a darker color. The wave covered portion is unreached by the dye and it is possible therefore, by innumerable paintings and dippings to obtain what Miss Wallace calls "an infinite complexity" of color and design. "I believe in textile painting as a medium or artistic expression of modern age," says Miss Wallace. It certainly is effective and interesting. The circus is here! Anyone who thinks of New York as more deeply sophisticated and blase than the rest of the country would lose that impression at this season regularly even.

SOUNDS Each sound, now represented by characters of the alphabet, originated in man's spontaneous outcry to express his emotion or thought, and each alphabetical character has a peculiar significance. The letter or sound "s," for instance, is expressive of the hidden obscure and mysterious. You see this when you analyze words in which it occurs—stealthy, silent suspicious, sneaking, sporadic, stupefend. The letter "r" is dramatic. Observe its use in this line by Edgar Allan Poe: "And the silken, sad unceittain Rustling of each puRle cuRtain thRilled me ****." "What tickles me are these women haters with sevensuits of clothes," says Li'l Gee Gee, the office vamp. JACK KNEW "I don't see how you can endure that Spencer girl, Jack," said his sister; "I'm sure there's nothing in her." Nothing in her, indeed! You should have been with us at supper tonight!"—Judge.

THE OLD "OF IT" TEAM Long & Short are in business in Federalsburg, Md. keeping one of our most picturesque royal visitors with us considerably longer than she had planned upon. Because the British consul refuses to be responsible for her $3,000 diamond which she pawned not long ago, the Princess Fatima of Kabul, Afghanistan, is unable to leave the Fourth Avenue hotel. She refuses to go without the guarantee that her diamond, which is an heirloom, will not be sold before she can redeem it; and the hotel refuses to give up its hold on the diamond in lieu of any other method of payment. Probably none of the singers who have taken part in the radio broadcasting concerts here has got quite the thrill from the work that came to Marguerite Huddle, young soprano. For Miss Huddle had the inspiration when she sang the other night of knowing that away off in San Antonio, Texas, her mother was listening to her voice. Miss Huddle was a resident of Austin, Texas, before coming to New York, and her mother made the journey from there to San Antonio in the hopes that the great station on Bedloe's Island would carry that far. It did. In years to come, we may have grandfather's portrait hanging on our walls in dyed wax on textiles instead of in the approved crayon style of a generation ago. Miss Ethel Wallace, erstwhile painter in oils, is showing the product of her new art, one of the big galleries this week, and it has the claim of distinctiveness, at the least. She just sketches a portrait with molten wax on satin or velvet or whatever other fabric appeals to her at the moment. When the wax Not even the length of skirts and shapes of shoes changes so rapidly here as does our slang. We have grown so accustomed to the shiftings and innovations in that sometimes picturesque language that we don't notice them—unless we have been out of their sound for awhile; just as we don't notice the growing older of people we see constantly. But I was talking today to a man who had just landed after a five months absence in Europe. "Where are the phrases of yesterday?" he cried, or words to that effect. "When I sailed from New York five months ago, no one talked of 'dumbbells.' I never even hear of a 'cake-eater'; even one's worst enemy didn't choose 'egg' as his salutation; and a 'flapper' had never been born." How Things Originated Now that man has conquered the problem of flying, it is interesting to observe that he actually learned this in the same way as did the birds themselves. Of course, if birds and other flying things had originally appeared on the earth as birds, with full feathered wings, we could readily understand that, sooner or later, they would flap those wings up and down and discover that they could fly. But we know that birds were originally not birds at all, but belonged to the reptile family and acquired wings through a long series of changes in the forward part of the body. These reptiles could swim, and this is the nearest approach to actual flying there is. The first fossil bird on record appears to have had quill feathers between the legs and the body, being a combination of bird and reptile. These feathers and tail enabled it to sail through the air. Continued practice of this sailing would have a darker color. The wave covered portion is unreached by the dye and it is possible therefore, by innumerable paintings and dippings to obtain what Miss Wallace calls "an infinite complexity" of color and design. "I believe in textile painting as a medium or artistic expression of modern age," says Miss Wallace. It certainly is effective and interesting. The circus is here! Anyone who thinks of New York as more deeply sophisticated and blase than the rest of the country would lose that impression at this season regularly every year. The coming of the great circus to Madison Square Garden means as much and just the same thing in the way of thrills to the Manhattan-town as to the school boy in the smallest circus town of the land. It requires 100 cars—count 'em—to transport the "marvels of the colossus" from winter quarters up in Connecticut. Over 700 men and women performers gathered together for the initial performance, and there are more than 100 horses in a single display. The basement of the great menagerie exhibits 41 elephants. Not even the length of skirts and shapes of shoes changes so rapidly here as does our slang.

I never even hear of a 'cake-eater'; even one's worst enemy didn't choose 'egg' as his salutation; and a 'flapper' had never been born." Today's last line is a toast to: The Have-Beens. The Are-Nows. And the May-Bees. I WILL GO BACK I will go back unto myself again—Back to the great immortal meaning of it all; Back to the surge and storm; back to the tides of life. I will await with joy the cleansing flood Of the unlocked gates of being. Such journeying Will lead me to the shores of other selves, Out where the pains and pities buried lie—Out where men die for want of broken bread And the poured wine of human sympathy; Or deeper death, go dying, still in life.

But we know that birds were originally not birds at all, but belonged to the reptile family and acquired wings through a long series of changes in the forward part of the body. These reptiles could swim, and this is the nearest approach to actual flying there is. The first fossil bird on record appears to have had quill feathers between the legs and the body, being a com­bination of bird and reptile. These feathers and tail enabled it to sail through the air. Continued prac­tice of this sailing would have a ten­dency to affect the scales on the body of the reptile through friction with the air, causing them to split and become fuzzy. Scientists agree upon this, but they do not all stand together upon the question of the probable manner in which flying was first attempted. Some think that these creatures learned to fly by springing upward from the ground, others say that they started from the top of a tree or hill and sailed downward. It prob­ably was practiced in a downward direc­tion from a height, and the cum­bersome creature gradually learned from moving their wings to steady themselves in sailing downward. Afterward they found that by continu­ed flapping they could also rise. Man, in learning to fly, also imi­tated the birds in this respect, for he started where the birds did. His first success with the flying machine was in "gliding" from a height down­ward, and he, too, learned how to start from the ground and rise. Harry Fellinge, Brunswick Phones. I will await with joy the cleansing flood. Of the unlocked gates of being. Such journeying. Will lead me to the shores of other selves, Out where the pains and pities buried lie— Out where men die for want of bro­ken bread. And the poured wine of human sym­pathy; Or deeper death, go dying, still in life. I will go back unto myself again. I will be one with life's great lovers; I will be One with its splendid haters; I will be One with the beauty of uncovered things. I will not smile and say, "All's good" Looking at life shot through with misery, Only to turn aside impatiently. Back to the heartbreak and the pain. That touch these other lives toward which I strive— I will go back and live with these again. I will go out upon the highway of my kind. My great tramp kinsman, I would know— The roads that call to them—the wayside flowers. The touch of comrade hands. If I would speak their tongue, I must go back And find again the old road to the hills. Mary Siegrist. J. E. Rodden, insurance. Phone 71.
