That threatened coal strike should end before it begins. This country has no superfluity of great statesmanship just now. It is selfishness that brings more unhappiness into the world than all else. If God were not better to men than men are to each other, there would be no hope for this old world. Could it have been Dr. Cook, polar explorer, who said he saw that plesiosauric monster down in Patagonia? Vigorous exercise in the open air is one of the best of prescriptions for keeping one physically and mentally fit. Blessed is the man or woman who can come into good fortune without becoming afflicted with swelling of the head. "Waiting for something to turn up" usually finds the Micawbers waiting until the cemetery workers "turn up" the sod for the last sleep of the waiting one. If the explorers go trekking around the North Pole, discovering everything up there and setting it down on the maps, where is Santa Claus to stay in seclusion? MISS MORGAN CRITICAL OF AMERICANS It seems odd—almost too fanciful for belief—for a daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan to say, with bitterness, that "America has lost her idealism—she has become a grasping nation measuring patriotism and right in dollars and cents." These are harsh words—too harsh, and spoken in the heat of feeling over the attitude of the government at Washington anent the playment of the war debts of France to the United States. Miss Anne Morgan's truly good and greatly helpful work in aiding the rehabilitation of France cannot be praised too highly. She is doing this unselfishly, modestly and without blame of trumpets in praise of herself. But her zeal evidently has overridden her judgment and has led her to violate the canons of good taste, to put it mildly. When, in addition to what has been quoted herein, Miss Morgan goes on to say that America has "deteriorated into a nation of money-grabbers," she becomes unjust and intemperate of speech and does the cause of rehabilitation in France more harm than good by thus denouncing her own countrymen. Miss Morgan should learn to temper her ardor, even in behalf of a worthy cause, and not indulge in criticisms manifestly unfair and too sweeping. MANY ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE Of the 661 traffic accidents in and about Los Angeles, reported for the week ending last Sunday, the Automobile Club of Southern California finds that 47 per cent of them were due to carelessness. This is just 3 per cent less than half.

HEADING OFF A M "I see where Mary MANY ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE Of the 661 traffic accidents in and about Los Angeles, reported for the week ending last Sunday, the Automobile Club of Southern California finds that 47 per cent of them were due to carelessness. This is just 3 per cent less than half. If each and every driver were properly and reasonably careful, the number of traffic mishaps would decrease one-half at once. And if this carefulness were cultivated and persisted in, the number of accidents would decrease constantly. It is deadly recklessness on the part of drivers and of pedestrians that constitutes the grave menace in traffic today. Conditions on crowded thoroughfares are menacing enough, even with care, it is true. But the perils are magnified out of all reasonable proportion by the reckless driver and the heedless person afoot. Against this recklessness a concentrated, grim fight should be waged by the authorities, and each and every careful pedestrian should cooperate in the fight. Irresponsible or habitually careless drivers should be deprived of the right to drive. Those guilty of flagrant carelessness causing injury to others, should be arrested and prosecuted therefor. And the law should give attention, too, to the reckless pedestrian. "Jay-walking" should be made a misdemeanor, punishable by a stiff fine. Require pedestrians to cross streets only at regular intersections, and not in the middle of the block. WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF Kindness is appreciated by all dogs, but not by all men. Even the strongest men sometimes take hold of things they can't budge. The reason so many folks leave home is probably because there is no place like it. If you see many failings in others, it is because ou have those failings yourself. No one has gone so far as to recommend modern dancing for the encouragement of modesty. All of us are making trouble—and yet we wonder why the supply exceeds the demand. If it's from Witman's it's good. Here They Are! Here They Are!

Los Angeles St., Anaheim Phone 470 Town in Review PERFUMES Perfume sales are increasing. This is a sure sign that world business conditions are improving, says a French perfume manufacturer. Perfumes follow the money. If times are bad, perfume sales go down; when times are good, sales increase. Perfumes were invented in ancient times, when few took baths, to enable people to get close to each other without grieving the sense of smell. Even in modern times, the world would be much better in health if sales of soap were a better barometer of human activities than sales of perfumes and cosmetics. March came in like a lamb. It's acting like a resort hotel advertisement looks. Atta lamble. In a few days, if this weather continues, we can all go down to the beaches and see the latest thing in bathing suits. GETTING ACQUAINTED The buss was starting in the rain, when the conductor put his head inside and inquired: "Will any gentleman get outside to oblige a lady?" "She can sit on my knees if she likes," said a passenger, jocularly. To his surprise, a buxom woman bounced in and accepted his offer. After a time the man asked where she was going. On hearing her destination, he exclaimed: "Bless my soul! That's my house!" "Yes," she said blushing. "I'm the new cook!" — Judge.

HEADING OFF A MOLESKIN "I see where Mary Pickford wore" NEW YORK, April 1.—Patrolman Charles Flood, is pernaps Manhattan's most peace-loving resident. Back in 1876, Patrolman Flood, now 76 years old, helped to make an arrest. Ever since that day, until one afternoon this week, Flood has stayed loyally with his job, always done his duty, kept in physical trim so as to be ready for any husky thug who ever came along—but never made another arrest. Last week, while he was trying to help a woman persuade an obstinate horse to move out of the middle of the street, a man rushed upon them with a torrent of abuse. Flood turned to tell him he was under arrest, hesitated and moved quietly away. This week the man went after him again one day and Flood decided his great hour had come. He took him to the station. "I'm glad they didn't send him to jail," he said afterward. "I'm a peace loving citizen. I don't like to get mixed up in any of this—this lawbreaking. I've gone peaceably to my work every day for 46 years without seeing the law broken once." I have seen dogs taken into restaurants, art galleries, even churches. But I never before saw nor heard of the custom of carrying one's cat about with one. Down in an Italian restaurant the other night, however, a man and woman entered, the man carrying something under his arm wrapped in a brilliant rose-colored scarf. He placed it on a chair and there rose from the covering a handsome white Angora cat. All during the meal the cat sat there quietly, never stirring, gazing haughtily about the room with her golden eyes. They didn't feed it, they didn't display any reason why they should have brought it, but there it was. "Candida," the second Shaw revival of the year, opened the other night at the Greenwich Village Theatre, as the first bill in the repertory season of Ellen Van Volkenburg and Maurice Browne. Not since Arnold Hunt has passed me toward the attains and statues are included in some of the yards. There is plenty of atmosphere in Walker Whiteside's new play, "The Hindoo," which opened the other night at the Comeay theatre. There is plenty of intrigue and mystery and tension, too. So that altogether it is excellent play of its type, and it is an interesting type. It is concerned with revolts in India and the work of Scotland Yard in solving the problem of the "master mind" behind the conspiracies. Miss Sydney Shields is the very pretty heroine of the play, who becomes involved in the murderous intrigues of Prince Tamar's palace. Fancy the optimism, the imagination, of a person who would enter into a thousand-year lease! It sounds as staggering at the last act of Shaw's "Back to Methuselah," where he projects the world into the year 31,922. Yet such a lease has just been sold here. L. C. Gillespie & Sons have bought a thousand-year lease on a piece of property on Maiden Lane. The lease was drawn in 1850 and so has over 900 years still to run. There are some people left who don't think the country is going to the bow-wows fight away! MIDWAY Yon bleak and lonely crest is not for me. Though swathed in light from dawn till afterglow; Not from the summit would I choose to see My fellow men as pygmies far below. I would but ask to reach a midway height With broks and upland meadows all around. Where pines should break the spasers of noonday light And fill the void of dusk with wings of sound. How gladly would I lend a guiding hope To all who pass me toward the "Bless my soul! That's my house!" "Yes," she said blushing, "I'm the new cook!"—Judge.

"Uh-huh," I says. "It seems to me she is too short to wear a moleskin coat," said the wife. "She isn't half as short as I'd be if you wore one," says I.

During her stay in town she visited the rest room in the city hall. As she left to make her trains she made it a point to speak to the boys in the city offices about how much she appreciated the rest room facilities and the comforts provided for guests in the city.—Independence (Ia.) Bulletin Journal. PLAYING A MEAN THICK ON A RABBIT "Rabbits are very tame this year," reports the Fair Play Advocate, "so tame you can go out and catch them with your hands. At least that is what Nelse Phillips did one day last week. He and Oliver Hadley were scouting around on the Phillips farm when they saw a rabbit in a clump of grass. Oliver got in front and sung a song softly to charm it, while Nelse slipped up behind and picked it up."—Kansas City Times. I have not loved the world, nor the world me.—Lord Byron.

An Australian steamship, last year were plowed under in territory within a few hours ride from New York. The high cost of handling and transportation so discouraged the growers that they decided their crop was not worth harvesting. The use of the ground on which the onions were grown was lost, the labor and money spent in their cultivation was lost. And now, after growing and throwing away our own crops, we are importing hundreds of tons of onions from foreign countries. Australia is one of the fields from which we are WM.
