Opinions, to command respect, must be grounded in intelligence. The taxpayers' money slips too easily through the hands of Congress oftentimes. Trial juries should be immune to corrupting or improper influences of any or all kinds. Grand opera no more mixes with and impresses a jazz taste than oil blends with water. No community is advancing as it should, unless it be providing for its people ample public improvements. Secret intrigues and broken faith among nations have made the bloody trail through the long ages of history. The United States government can be and should be conducted economically, and strictly according to business principles. There is no satisfaction in life to be compared with living honestly, decently and in moderation, without indulging in excesses. The ensuing coal strike will bring upon the country losses of tens of millions of dollars and great suffering. And it all is useless and should not be. Character and culture endure, even though reputation may be lost unjustly. That which one really is, one cannot be divested of by the cruel NATIONAL GOOD ROADS MEET AT PHOENIX Construction and maintenance of good roads in California and the Southwest will be given impetus by the meeting, late in April, of the United States Good Roads Association and the Bankhead National Highway Association, at Phoenix, Arizona. Progress in road construction and plans for quickening the cause of good roads and co-ordinating interstate highways will be discussed. The American people have become educated to the value of permanently improved roadways. It does not require the missionary work that once was necessary to bring about the voting of bonds for highway improvement. State after state has expended millions in road betterments and the United States government is co-operating substantially. No better investment in public improvements could be made than in building and maintaining good roads. IS EUROPE TO SAVE ITS ECONOMIC FACE? The conference assembled at Genoa—one of the historic cities of Italy, birthplace of Christopher Columbus—has before it, as its chief concern, the economic rehabilitation of Europe. It remains to be demonstrated just how much can be done there, and how effectively, by Europe itself to save its own economic face and to restore its own economic equilibrium. The United States government declined to participate, because it discerned in the program for the conference, an inter-blending of political issues which should concern Europe exclusively. But should the conference steer itself away from politics and work out a sound economic plan whereby Europe may help itself and discourage militarism and nationalist crazy." There is no satisfaction in life to be compared with living honestly, decently and in moderation, without indulging in excesses. The ensuing coal strike will bring upon the country losses of tens of millions of dollars and great suffering. And it all is useless and should not be. Character and culture endure, even though reputation may be lost unjustly. That which one really is, one cannot be divested of by the cruel tongue of calumny. The invoking of the "unwritten law" in the sensational slaying in Oklahoma came as a logical result of the midnight revel. When society sows excesses, it must expect to reap misery and tragedy. There should be no "little navy" or "big navy" element in Congress, but all members of Congress should be for a navy adequate for national defense—not too large, involving waste of public funds; not too small, inadequate for successful defense—which would invite disaster. Taxpayers of California should look to their own interests, with intelligent care. The bearers of the burdons of taxation may be sure that politicians and selfish, greedy interests seeking special privilege will not exert themselves to relieve the burden-someness of the tax situation. Teach the child to be earnest and sincere in whatever it undertakes. Teach it thoroughness in its studies and in everything to which it applies hand or mind. The making of character and the shaping of destiny oftentimes result from the nature of the instruction given the child in its plastic years. Rest is not real rest unless accompanied by complete relaxation. Take the cares of your daily life with you into your so-called rest, and you make of it a mockery. Fling aside your cares, duties and responsibilities while you rest. Then will you be refreshed in body and spirit and be better fitted to take up anew with vigor your daily effort. Somebody was criminally careless in connection with the building of the Knickerbocker Theater in Washington, D.C., which recently caused the death of ninety-eight persons. Each and every one who had a part in that dangerously faulty construction, or had guilty knowledge of it, should be punished severely. THEES BY HIGHWAYS IS LAUDABLE PLAN Planting of trees along the highways of California is being instituted in some counties. Down in San Diego co, for example. Arrangements have been made for the progressive planting of trees along the state highway from the Orange-co line south to San Diego and from that point to Pine Valley, on the San Diego-El Centro lateral, about 80 miles. This scheme for the beautification of highways is being carried out under auspices of the California highway commission, the county authorities, the state board of forestry and the University of California, all in active co-operation. Los Angeles and other counties should interest themselves in this excellent move. Each and every highway in this state should be lined with beautiful trees. This would enhance the beauty of sightseeing tours greatly. It would add, too, to the comfort of travel along public thoroughfares. It would moderate heat during the warm season, and provide restful shade. And it would also break the force of wind, on windy days. This process of tree-planting must be gradual, of course. The whole state cannot be covered at once. But it would be well for all the counties to take up the project, and carry it forward, little by little year after year, and soon there would be an endless chain of trees up and down the state, and California would distinguish itself again for promoting its natural beauties. Be a consistent, persistent, ardent booster for California in general and your locality in particular. The moving picture must be kept in the channels of cleanliness. It must not be permitted to sink to a degrading level. Public sentiment should demand clean pictures and should give liberal support to those which are clean, unobjectionable and inspiring.

Each and every one who had a part in that dangerously faulty construction, or had guilty knowledge of it, should be punished severely. CASH for Valencia Oranges Peppers Fruit Co. Olive, Calif.

Dear Town in Review: A man in the insane asylum, being asked how he got there, replied: "It was this way: I married a widow with a grown-up daughter, and then my father married my step-daughter. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law and my father became my stepson. Then my step-mother, the daughter of my wife, had a son and that boy, of course, was my brother, because he was my father's son. But he also was the son of my wife's daughter and therefore her grandson. That made me grandfather of my step-brother. Then my wife had a son, so my mother-in-law, the step-sister of my son, is also his grandmother, because he is his step-sister's child. My father is the brother-in-law of my child, because his step-sister is my father's wife. I am the brother of my own son, who is also the son of my step-grandmother. I am my mother's brother-in-law, my wife is my father's nephew, and I am my own grandfather. No wonder I'm crazy." A. B. W. TAKE THE BABY. New York Letter April 12.—Beauty advice has at last been elevated to its proper importance in life. The other night, one of our radio broadcasting stations sent forth along with its opera music, a talk on "A Budget for Beauty." It would be hypocrisy for one of my sex to pretend that it didn't get rapt attention. It did. It rivalled any song or orchestration on the program. The talk was given by Mrs. Cora Van Norden Coppinger, daughter of the late Warner Van Norden, Wall Street financier. Mrs. Coppinger has taken up an interest in the creation and preservation of personal beauty as a protest against the battle-torn scenes which filled her life during the World War, when she made a splendid war record of her own. She insists that beauty is a responsibility to be heeded by every woman recording to her ability. It seems strange, until one hears her reasoning that this is the woman who served under the French Service de Sante in Serbia and Macedonia, and later, when we came into the war, worked with the Salvation Army canteens under Colonel Barker in his First Division. She was recommended four times for the D. S. M., once for the D. S. C., and has the Croix de Guerre from the French government. She is the only American woman to have received regimental, brigade and army citations. Here's a creature, at last, which comes pretty close to qualifying for the old praise. "Worth his weight in gold." It's Champion Daykin Surprise, a $6,000 wire-haired fox terrier, who arrived in New York the other day from England, where he has been purchased by Stanley J. Halle of this city. It is spring, indeed. Here is a romance that proves it. Miss Ruth Lavina Winters, known on the stage as Jacky Winters, was brought before the Court of Special Sessions because a pair of earrings and a hat had dislaced. Comments on What Editors PROFESSOR IMPOLITE Stockton (Cal.) Record Americans take it for granted that college professors are well-bred as well as scholarly; that they fairly represent the fine old name "gentleman." Usually they are and do. It comes for that reason with a greater shock to have one showing himself a decided boor. "Very discourteous" is what Thomas A. Edison called this Professor W. A. Scott of the University of Wisconsin who wrote him an unmanly, resulting letter in reply to a questionnaire sent the college expert on commerce as one of seventeen from whom Mr. Edison sough views on changes in the American currency system. The concluding paragraph, typical of the others, is the one that seems to rank most in the inventor's mind because, as Mr. Edison is quoted as saying, "he not only refused to answer my questions but implied senile decay because of my asking them." This is the arrogant, offending paragraph: "I doubt very much whether at your age and in what seems to be your present state of mind it would be worth anyone's while to attempt to teach you these elements." Mr. Edison, it is true, has said some exasperating things about the colleges because he has a narrow view of what is meant by education. He has the plain, practical man's idea that it means pigeon-holing a lot. PRICE AND PROFITS New York Tribune Of course, no one will deny profiteering in particular cases—cheating and taking undue advantage of opportunities are practices as old as trade—but the evil is exaggerated. If one of the most prosperous of American retail establishments clings to 2.39 cents of every dollar it handles the inference is fair that other concerns do not do much better. Moreover, it is obvious that complete elimination of its profits would not TAKE THE BABY, TOO, IF YOU WANT IT "For Sale—Oak music cabinet, mahogany Morris chair, baby and pushcart."—Iowa City Citizen.

Here's a creature, at last, which comes pretty close to qualifying for the old praise. "Worth his weight in gold." It's Champion Daykin Surprise, a $6,000 wire-haired fox terrier, who arrived in New York the other day from England, where he has been purchased by Stanley J. Halle of this city. It is spring, indeed. Here is a romance that proves it. Miss Ruth Lavina Winters, known on the stage as Jacky Winters, was brought before the Court of Special Sessions because a pair of earrings and a hat had disappeared from a department store under peculiar circumstances. The probation officer spoke to the judge and told something about Miss Winter's blameless past; and the fact that her father is a minister; that she was "up against it," financially, and then—"Your honor," added the officer, "here in court today is Mr. Tommy Toner, whom you may have heard of in vaudeville." He tells me that he knows Miss Winter and that what is more, he loves her devoutly and tenderly. Nothing would please him more than a double alliance with her, giving her a job on the stage in his sketch and a job off the stage as his wife. The three judges smiled benevolently. Toner stepped up and added that he had arranged with Chaplain John Callahan of the Tombs to perform the marriage ceremony as soon as the formalities could be arranged. "Sentence suspended," said the Justice. They were married half an hour later. Coal miners and operators wage war upon each other and the public pays the cost of the warfare.

But the noise-makers habitually disregard this profit margin. So it is also with respect to retail establishments. In many things there has been false guidance—the public has been led into blind alleys and unfair clamor has been raised against men who also have suffered from the fluctuating dollar. Yet to their dishonesty and intelligence we largely owe the fact that this country, much less than others, has been compelled to endure price shocks. WISE AND WITTY Big money leaks away through very small holes. Nothing spoils a man more quickly than a quick success. Bluffing has its limitations, but gall has so far never been headed off. The older I grow, the more it appears that the chief end of man is the cemetery. The "survival of the fittest" seems to apply to everything but politicians. The love of a homely man is glued fast, while the love of a handsome man is covered with grease.

That's why so many people who buy entirely from the standpoint of satisfaction, drive the SPECIAL-SIX. Satisfaction with a SPECIAL-SIX is due to its dependable chassis, its Studebaker-built body, and the completeness of the equipment. This equipment includes an eight-day clock, one-piece rain-proof windshield with parking lights in lower corners of windshield base, and windshield wiper. It includes cowl ventilator controlled from dash, tonneau light with extension cord, transmission lock which is operated by same key that locks the tool compartment in the left front door pocket as well as the ignition, and a large rectangular plate glass in the rear curtain. There are many other features that would be considered unusual in cars of much higher price. Let us tell you some other points of SPECIAL-SIX superiority. The mechanical excellence of the SPECIAL-SIX has proved its satisfaction in the hands of thousands of owners. Its 50-horsepower motor provides great resources of smooth flowing power and wonderful flexibility. Its perfected dry-plate disc clutch makes gear-shifting quiet and easy. And yet, the SPECIAL-SIX is not a costly car. At $1745 f.o.b. Orange county, it is a striking value—unapronched by any car of comparable quality. Touring $1745; 2-Pass. Roadster, $1695; 4-Pass.
