His adversary's heart to him doth tie; And 'tis a finer conquest, truly said, To win the heart, than overthrow the head. —Lady E. Carew. Everybody does some life-saving by being careful in traffic! When the losses of coal strikes are footed up, the public pays. What a wonderful anchor, in the storms of life, is good common sense. The dietians who give infallible rules for attaining unto old age, usually die comparatively young. America's recognition comes hard enough for the government of Mexico to prize it highly when it does come. There are days when the beautiful note of the meadowlark makes one rejoice that one is alive and in California. Make "jay-walking" a finable offense. The careless pedestrian should be punished, the same as the careless driver. Sending wireless messages to and from the North Pole may be the thrill to come from Captain Amundsen's expedition. The Arms Conference and its work will be remembered gratefully long after the Senate "irreconcilables" are forgotten. One thing is sure: If Captain Amundsen's water is enough for all SENATE RATIFIES ALL PEACE' PACTS The United States has risen to its glorious opportunity and to its manifest duty to America and mankind, by ratifying each and all of the seven treaties which came to it from the Arms Conference. Within the last few days the Senate has taken a course of action which will redound to the lasting credit of this Nation. The United States becomes actual leader of the world in proposing far-reaching measures and compacts for obviating wars and in ratifying these treaties in advance of the other signatory powers. This is a magnificent distinction, the importance of which is hardly realized fully at the present moment. Mankind, in generations to come, will hark back to the year 1922 and to the city of Washington and bless the year and the Nation that led the way toward that more blessed day when warfare shall have been abolished. But the friends of peace should not become over-confident and rest on their oars, thinking that these Arms Conference treaties, in and of themselves, will maintain world peace without any further thought or effort on the part of peace-promoters. The forces for peace should be more energetic, more vigilant than ever. They have won signal triumphs, and have advanced the cause mightily. But there is more to be done. And that which has been gained must be upheld. COLORADO'S WATER IS ENOUGH FOR ALL The state of Utah, presenting its claims to the Colorado River Commission for use of water under the proposed Boulder Dam project, made the contention that with proper storage and economic use in accord with the tenets of modern irrigation there Make "joy-walking" a finable offense. The careless pedestrian should be punished, the same as the careless driver. Sending wireless messages to and from the North Pole may be the thrill to come from Captain Amundsen's expedition. The Arms Conference and its work will be remembered gratefully long after the Senate "irreconcilables" are forgotted. One thing is sure: If Captain Amundsen tells the world that he reached the North Pole, the world will believe him. If the world is to have all the oil it needs for hundreds of years, extracted from shale, what is the next imaginary horror to be worried about? There has been more or less distress for a long time, among those who make a habit of worrying, about a supposed-to-be impending famine in oil. They have started in to "clean up" Los Angeles and rid it of vice and crime. To clean up—sain, or some more? The big city has been cleaned up—on paper—several times within the last few years. But the broom that sweeps clean isn't kept working long in Los Angeles. The same is true of other large centers of population. Added cost of the projected public betterments would be negligible. Tax-payers have no reason to hesitate on this score, in view of the enormous benefits that will accrue to the whole community from having these improvements. Vote the bonds! AN UNPARALLELED RECORD With more than 100 performances for the present season alone, and nearly 1900 performances since it has had its first presentation, the Mission Play at San Gabriel has now left far in the distance the record of every other dramatic production in history. It is a record unparalleled in the annals of the stage. Speaking to some fellow newspaper men at the San Gabriel playhouse, the other day, John Steven McGroarty, the author of this great Californian pageant-darama, said that the attendance at the play this year is greater than ever, notwithstanding that there has been almost constant rains, much sickness among the people, and comparatively few tourists. “What makes this year the greatest in the Mission Play’s history,” the author said, “is the fact that our own home people have at last become interested in it. And it makes me very happy. It is the thing that we have been waiting for through all these years. The Mission Play is now honored in its own country.” Jst how much longer the present season of the play will last is not yet announced, but it is probable that it will soon draw to a close. COLORADO'S WATER IS ENOUGH FOR ALL The state of Utah, presenting its claims to the Colorado River Commission for use of water under the proposed Boulder Dam project, made the contention that with proper storage and economic use in accord with the tenets of modern irrigation, there is water enough in the Colorado river for all the states lying in its basin. So Utah asks that it may have unrestricted development of its agricultural potentialities, in line with the scientific development of the whole project for the Colorado basin. It is obvious that, to bring about the harmony that is requisite to the success of this great enterprise, there must be evidenced on the part of the seven states directly affected, a broad spirit of co-operation, fairness and equity. Each state should have its equitable share of the benefits, and no more. And all of the states should co-operate so that the project may not be halted or its success imperiled by greed or jealousy on the part of any of the states. PROMOTE PEACE BY ACT AND BY WORD The Arms Conference treaties provide the groundwork for a great and noble superstructure of world peace. But that superstructure will not rise by enchantment. There is no magic wand to be waved, to bring it instantly into being. It must be reared by public opinion. It must be braced and made strong by public opinion in this and other lands. It is the manifest duty and the glorious opportunity of Americans and other peoples to live so intensely in the spirit of peace that these treaties may be wondrously successful and magnificently beneficial to mankind. Think peace. Speak peace. Act peace. Pray peace. Promote peace by every reasonable, practical means possible. WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF A placed sometimes succeeds here a soft answer fails. The man who has failed can give as good advice as the man who has succeeded. An optimist is a man who takes less wages and considers it a duty to his employer. It's a good idea to find out what kind of advice a man wants before you start giving it. The best asset a store can have is a clerk who gives polite answers to foolish questions.

He makes this confession: I never won an argument with a taxi driver or a telephone operator. I never can summon up enough courage to shoot those who say "those kind." I cannot prevent the barber from finishing me with a sprinkling of cologne, which makes it hard for me to explain my absence to my wife.

April 3.—Every one said that the war had done much toward wiping out elaborate and "dressy" service; that footmen and butlers and liveries and other signs of "snobbery" were going into the discard because of that upheaval. Now comes one of New York's fashionable tailors and asserts that liveries were never so much worn in this city as today. "Many Americans who used to sneer at flunkies now apparently cannot get enough of them." He says: "The increased demand is coming from those people and those who cater to them. Among our best customers are the motion picture theaters. The most fashionable theaters or the opera are content with footmen in quiet liveries or none at all. But the movie theaters must have servants on the sidewalks and in the lobby-worthy of royalty. We are constantly being urged to find something more formal than usual." Three jobs are none too many for a good strong average man, according to Daniel W. C. Ramsay, floorwalker in the neckwear department of R. H. Macy & Co., here on Manhattan and pastor of a Methodist church ove rat Union Hill, N. J. "The average human being does not work enough," he declares. "I find that I can work here in the department store all the week, write my sermons, study and lecture in the evenings preach twice on Sunday and wake up fresh as a rose on Monday morning. Perhaps it would be well if more ministers of the gospel did this." Al Jolson a grand opera baritone! It doesn't seem quite right. But that is what he insists is going to happen. He has announced that with the end of the present season, he will leave the musical comedy stage never to return. He attends matinees at the Metropolitan regularly and it has become known that he is taking instruction in voice from a former grand opera star.

Seventy-five millions is the estimate put by federal authorities on the New York real estate owned by the late Baron William Waldor Astor, and composing a large part of his estate. We are getting several new names in our theatrical season. The night after the opening performance of "Voltaire", written by two brand new young girl playwrights, we had "Just Because," a musical comedy by three equally unknown, and we understand, equally young girls. It is a sweet, melodious production, without a treemenrous amount of pep, but with several pretty songs. Whether it will be too "sweet" and its lack of pep too acute for New York remains to be seen.
