Industrial warfare is an inexcusable as armed warfare, and both are preventable. If left to vote of the people, would there have been a coal strike? Most surely, no! Nothing new under the sun? Well, there's the moon—it becomes "new" once a month. The egotist is one who needs to have his self-made personal valuation deflated. He overvalues himself. There are a few old-fashioned, out-of-date persons who haven't a radio outfit installed in their homes. Europe must expect several blowouts and punctures on the road it must travel toward economic rehabilitation. The psychologic color scheme in Ireland is changing for the better. The Irish people, from "seeing red" are beginning to see green. Serving the public faithfully at Washington should build better political fences for a congressman seeking re-election than anything else. There is no likelihood that any of the treaties formulated in and by the Arms Conference ever will be MUCH SUFFERING AMONG INDIANS HERE Pitiful indeed is the plight of California Indians, as told to congress committees by a delegation representing the tribes in this state. Many of these Indians are living on barren rocks which cannot yield a living. Hundreds of the famishing ones are forced to become nomads. The federal government's aid is very meager, amounting to only $2:88 monthly, in some cases. In other cases, all the government gives is a small quantity of flour monthly. These Indians, reduced in numbers to 20,000 by privations and neglect, are seeking to collect claims amounting to $10,000,000 for the rich lands from which they were ejected. They are asking congress to make it possible for them to press their case in the court of claims. Even though this permission were granted, the claimants would be subjected to long delay, no doubt, by the red tape which is proverbial in official Washington. It is inexpressibly shameful that this cruel neglect should be. Generously hearted Californians give liberally toward feeding and clothing these Indians. But they cannot bear the whole burden. Some way should be found speedily by the national government to do justice to these helpless creatures. If they were given what they deserve—what they morally and legally should have—they would be provided for in comfort. To let them suffer and starve is scandalous.

Serving the public faithfully at Washington should build better political fences for a congressman seeking re-election than anything else. There is no likelihood that any of the treaties formulated in and by the Arms Conference ever will be treated by any of the signatory powers as "scraps of paper." If the nations of the earth really want bona fide, enduring, just peace, just let them follow in the footsteps of Uncle Sam and emulate his course and enter into his spirit. The next step should be to disarm the mischief-makers who are hurling verbal bombs at countries and peoples with whom the United States has been at peace and should continue to be. Invoking the law of tooth and fang in the realm of industry is hurtful and destructive. Co-operation and good will between labor and capital would make industry constructive and beneficial to all elements of the population. One of the hardest experiences the person of high ideals has, is to pass through disillusionments and realize how much hypocrisy and unfaithfulness there is, without becoming embittered or losing faith in humanity. The United States started out to lead the world toward universal peace, through better understanding among the nations and through gradual disarmament. America's leadership in this has been signally successful. It has not strayed into the bogs, nor has it proposed any fiasco. The peace-loving people in all lands trust this country and they look to its leadership with hope and inspiration. For tinting call 596W. ACTIVITY IN BUILDING IS NOTABLE As spring opens east of the Great Divide, conditions become more favorable for building, and there is a speeding up of construction work, according to reports. Chicago seemingly begins to recover from the effects of its building tie-up. Construction work there is starting off very briskly. From other cities and regions come reports of notable activity. Here in California the volume of building continues to be the marvel of the whole country. Best of all, this building briskness is not of the ephemeral-boom sort; it is not sporadic, but bids fair to continue for an indefinite period. It is a healthy activity, prompted by the acute need of more housing. There is no big volume of construction of buildings which lie vacant for a long period. Quite the contrary. Structures that are erected for sale or for rent are snapped up quickly by home-seekers. This construction, in other words, is in response to demand, and is not fictitious booming. DEFENSES CUT TOO MUCH WOULD BE MENACE Inexpert, reckless tinkering in the house threatens the morale and efficiency of both the army and the navy. Not content with reasonable reductions in personnel, not accepting the advice nor heeding the warning of army and navy experts, those economy iconoclasts are hewing down appropriations and cutting down personnel until the Nation's defenses are in acute danger. And yet, when appropriations of a "pork barrel" nature are proposed, it is not difficult to put $15,000,000 of such clandestinely into the appropriations defying the budget recommendations. In this very thing congress oftimes is weak—lamentably weak. Too frequently there is too much savor of demagoguery and office-seeking politicianism in the acts of Congress, while the big, statesmanly considerations which should grip the interest and guide the course of legislators are ignored.

LITTLE THINGS AND BIG REGRETS San Francisco Call and Post Little acorns of triviality grow into weeping willows of regret. And you can't understand how it is until you add up the totals of all the things you do in a day, in a month, in a year. A commuter who spends two hours every day in crossing the bay and getting to Berkeley estimated that he spent 26 days—almost one whole month—of every year in doing just that. It persuaded him, almost to live in the city, until he thought of other things. He thought that he spent thirty minutes every day in shaving. That was 182 hours, more than seven days, a year. Think of shaving seven whole days, all day long, from rising sun to dewey eve, from soft twilight to bright morning again. It made the commuter's arm tired to think of it. And eating was even worse. He estimated he sat about two hours every day at the table, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which meant another full month of the year spent in satisfying a desire that is the property, also, of cats and puppy dogs and even crawling sakes. The thought made him feel ashamed of his gluttony. But it shocked the calculator even more when he realized that four whole months of every year he spent in bed sleeping. He thought of Edison with his scant four or five hours of sleep a night and felt ashamed. So he turned to his newspaper, and quite realizing that—he head his newspaper one hour a day—he gave 'two weeks in every year to keep up with the times. No wonder there are times when a man's eyes ache! him for cleanliness lots at the southeast corner of Tenth and C avenue. Said his horses had run in the lots, which are fenced, all summer, and that there were no weeds left. Mr. Hyatt said the horses couldn't reach under the fence and eat the weeds at the edge, and that was probably what had been cleaned up, and it was decided to let the $2 charge stand. —Coronado Strand.

AMERICA LEADS IN LIBERTY Rochester Herald To a degree that is not realized by the majority of Americans, the present world upheaval is due to America can ideas of liberty and progressiveness. For many years prior to World War a slow process of education has been going on in Europe particularly, through the return to that continent of men and women who had obtained a competence in America and acquired at least smattering of American ways. The World War let loose the forces which until that time had had no chance for expression. The doctrine of self-destruction for small peoples is but one phase of the will to freedom that had been swelling underneath the ancient spirit of European custom. Since the World War many students from Europe and Asia, from Africa and South America, have come to attend colleges in the United States, in preference to European institutions of learning. PRINCESS PLANS ROYAL CLUB CANN. S., April 6.—Princess Christopher of Greece, the former Mrs. W.B. Leeds, has started a movement to have a club organized here to which only royalty will be admitted. The influx of the newly rich into the resort is said to have induced her action.

He is only 25 years old, for one thing, which probably makes him more susceptible to environment. Anyhow, the other day, his wife, Helen, aged 23, had him up in police court charged with striking her several times because she wouldn't put paint and powder on her face when she went out. "This is too much for me to decide offhand," said Magistrate Ilota. "Most husbands try to get their wives to leave off rouge and powder. This is an extraordinary case." An investigation was ordered. Leaving the courtroom, Margarine was heard to remark that a "girl who doesn't know enough to doll up ought to get her face punched." Because of the acute and vital problems facing this generation, particularly perhaps its women and girls, the biennial convention of the Young Women's Christian Association, to be held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, April 20-27, will be one of the most important national gatherings of the decade. National Board headquarters here in New York are teeming with plans for making it as productive of tangible results as the average convention is of fluent conversation. One of the principal features of the convention will be a discussion of the methods of effecting a world peace based on the findings of the conference of the World's Committee, Y. M. C. A. held in Champrey, Switzerland, in 1920. The Champrey resolutions will be introduced by Miss Charlotte Niven of England, executive secretary of the World's Committee. A Maude Royden, England's noted woman preacher and leader of women, Countess Helene Goblet D'Alviella, of Belgium, Anne Lamb, who has done such great work in India, and Judge Florence E. Allen of Cleveland, the first woman judge of a Court of Common Pleas in this country, will be among the principal speakers. Miss Mabel Cratchy banner back and forth, and every ship hunders its salute. He stands at attention until the last one has passed and then picks his way back across the stones, smiling happily. More than 10,000,000 books were issued for home use in the last year in the circulation department of the New York public library, an increase of half a million over last year. In November and December 10,000 persons called at the main library at Forty-second street for reference purpose daily. The term "weaker sex" is a misnomer for women, declares Magistrate Doyle of Jamaica, Long Island, police court. He finds that 90 per cent of the disorderly conduct cases involve women. "The battling sex," he insists they ought to be called, if the experience of a police judge counts for anything. New York is seen as the art center of the world in the plan of the Academy of Design and New York University. An affiliation between these two institutions has just been announced, and it is expected that through the merging, instruction and opportunity for work in the fine arts may be given which will push our city into first place in the whole world for the development of artists learning and skill. "We hope New York may become to the artistic world what Florence was in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries," Gen. Charles H. Sherrill of New York University, said in discussing the plan.
