"Every inordinate cup is unblessed and the ingredient is a devil." The world has been living in the uncertainties of armed peace long enough. It should pass into the certainties of unarmed peace. Europe must fashion its own economic life and grab hold of it with desperate energy, or it will sink in deep water. Why is it so much easier to travel miles hitting a golf ball, or to hike miles to a lofty mountain-top, than to hoe in the garden? What California has expended on good roads, even though some mistakes have been made, is a sound, business-like investment. The world can be rehabilitated economically only by building upon the sure foundation of an assured and acceptable peace grounded in justice to all nations and all peoples. In observing Easter, it is fitting to remember what is memorialized. It is a gladsome, but not frivolous, occasion. Commemorating the risen Christ means more than wearing fine clothes and promenading. To hold the confidence of the people, legal procedure must be such as to deserve their confidence. There is nothing wrong, fundamentally, with the American legal system. But that it needs overhauling, simplifying and reforming, many of the ablest lawyers and jurists of the Nation agree. AMERICA MAY DEAL WITH RUSSIA SOON The United States soon may be in full trade relations with Russia. Dramatic developments in the Genoa conference on the first day, brought forth from Russian Sovet Foreign Minister Tchitcherin announcement that the soviet government would adhere to the Cannes resolutions which provide, in effect, that countries must not repudiate their contracts, but must meet their obligations; that countries must not engage in aggressive operations against others and that the people of one country should be entitled to justice in the courts of another. Should the Genoa conference bring about agreements in consonance with these principles the United States, it is believed, would feel warranted in resuming commercial intercourse with Russia. Should this result be attained—should Russia be opened to the trade of the world, and should the world consent to trade with Russia—a long step will have been taken toward the restoration of economic normality throughout Europe—and this, in turn, would have very healthy reaction upon the economic situation in the United States. CAPTAIN GIVES HIS LIFE FOR ENLISTED MEN An act of heroism of an exalted type was performed in the Philippineese by Capt. William J. Briscoe, of the Philippine Scouts. In attempting to save an enlisted man, who was surrounded by flames in a forest fire in one of the island provinces, Captain Briscoe was burned fatally. Three men were imperilled and the brave officer saved two of them, but perished in trying to rescue the third. Captain Briscoe was formerly an enlisted man and rose from the ranks during the World War. He was a na- POLICE! "I'll So But W A Mexico store and a clerk said: In observing Easter, it is fitting to remember what is memorialized. It is a gladsome, but not frivolous, occasion. Commemorating the rigen Christ means more than wearing fine clothes and promenading. To hold the confidence of the people, legal procedure must be such as to deserve their confidence. There is nothing wrong, fundamentally, with the American legal system. But that it needs overhauling, simplifying and reforming, many of the abiest lawyers and jurists of the Nation agree. This great and vital work should be taken up systematically without delay. There are forty-eight states in the Union, but only one state of mind among true Americans as to fealty to the Nation. This solidarity of national sentiment is one of the marvels of the American system of government. It denotes a golden thread of unity stretching across the continent and binding more than one hundred millions of human beings in the closest bonds that can draw any people together—voluntary bonds of intense loyalty to common ideals and common purposes. Never again should this country be scourged by a general strike of coal miners. Ways and means should be devised for adjusting equitably any and all disputes that may arise between miners and operators, and then both miners and operators should be required to abide by this equitable plan. This should be done in furtherance of the public welfare and in conformity with the principle of "the greatest good to the greatest number." The Genoa conference may do immediate good for Europe, or pave the way for another conference in which the United States may be represented. Europe realizes that it is at the end of its economic tether. It must institute some practical, rational means of helping itself or plunge into economic chaos and disaster. Once it puts aside political jockeying and militaristic intriguing and settles down to earnest, sincere measures of self-help, Europe will have the helpful sympathy of the United States. ENLISTED MEN An act of heroism of an exalted type was performed in the Phillippines by Capt. William J. Briscoe, of the Philippine Scouts. In attempting to save an enlisted man, who was surrounded by flames in a forest fire in one of the island provinces, Captain Briscoe was burned fatally. Three men were imperiled and the brave officer saved two of them, but perished in trying to rescue the third. Captain Briscoe was formerly an enlisted man and rose from the ranks during the World War. He was a native of Indiana. In such men this country has pride. There are, without doubt, great numbers of them. Men are to be found everywhere, in all ranks and stations of life, who willingly would risk their life to save others. There is thorough-going democracy in this, too. Take this inspiring example from the Philippines. There was a man holding a captain's commission who did not hesitate to offer his life for a man of the ranks. This accentuates the nobility of heroism. EDUCATION IS REQUIRED TO SUCCEED TODAY Gone are the days when the ignorant man can keep step with the educated and achieve success in life. Enlightenment is so general today that ignorance is hopelessly handicapped in the march of progress. No matter how humble and unpretentious one's calling, enlightenment is essential to the highest measure of success. This is true in so-called unskilled work—in truth, there is no such thing as unskilled work. There is no work worth doing at all that does not require some measure of skill to do it well and successfully. Skill counts in wood chopping or digging ditches or loading lumber. The intelligent workman does more, does it better and with less physical strain upon himself, because of the fact that he is intelligent and uses his brains as well as his muscles. This is an age of universal intelligence and of intensive, specialized training. It is an age of developed minds and trained hands. It is an age in which knowledge is power and intelligent energy is king. If it's from Witman's it's good.

F. suggests that I call for a series of 100-word communications from my readers on "Why I Came to Anaheim." Not a bad idea, but how could the numerous birds who were born right here in this town answer that question? Now comes a germ crank with the declaration that if one must kiss his best girl he should observe the rules of sanitation and kiss her on the back of the neck. This should not be a difficult operation in the case of the bobbed-hair flapper, whose neck is always exposed to attack. A peddler can sell a middle-aged housewife most anything if he address her as "My dear young lady." Most any man had rather heave a brick at you than to toss you a bouquet.

Three Sol- Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MENUS OF YESTERDAY New York Evening Post A metropolitan food expert has devoted much eloquence to the thesis that three pork chops are dangerous and found deadly. Convincing as he is, there is small chance that this new method of suicide will supplant the dagger, the poison cup, and the seaside rock of drama, fiction and painting. No forsaken fair one is going to put on a rose-colored robe, seize four pork chops, and write a farewell note. But many, recalling their youth, will be inclined to doubt the expert's dietum. Winter breakfasts on the farm, in our less enlightened days, should by all the laws of diet have slain on sight. But death was greatly delayed. The poison seemed to be beneficial—although it would be wrong to defend scrape at 6 a.m. These deadly and fortifying feasts, however, were preceded by sure antidotes; the morning chores. A man who got up at 4, tunneled through drifts to the barn, milked eight cows and fed the stock before himself was immune to pork chops, and the number mattered little. But afterward he chopped wood till noon, when he was ready for more. The pork chops never went to the sacrifice alone. There were also sausage, fried potatoes, strong coffee, doughnuts, and wheat cakes serialim. It was not considered manly to eat wheat cakes in little stacks of three. One built higher between them was actual butter, we alternate garnishes of molasses honey, maple syrup and "C" sugars. Those were the days.

This committee, made up of conscientious, thoroguing investigators, declares that New York is the cleanest—morally—of all the big cities in the world. The report, prepared by Percy S. Straus of the committee, covers the years 1920-21, but reviews briefly conditions in the city since 1905. But right on top of that, we have just taken out permits to carry pistols—and have started carrying them—in an effort to protect themselves against the renewed sweep of hold-ups. The largest clock in the world will soon stand at the corner of Broadway and Forty-fourth-st, the upper angle of Times Square. The Heart of New York Business Men's Ass'n is putting it there, right on top of the new police tower, so that it may be seen across the breadth of Manhattan Island and for a long ways north and south. "West of Pittsburgh" is the name of the third comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, which will be produced shortly. These two young playwrights jumped into such instant popularity with "Dulcy," followed by a second success in "To The Ladies," that we have already reached the point of happy expectancy when a new production by them is announced. The lecture platform has become such an important factor in feminine life in this part of the country that our fashion experts are recognizing it! "Fashion for the platform" have now gained the special attention of designers and fashion writers, and nothing could be much more official than that—nor more significant of the fact that we are still feminine whatever our activities! As a shining example of model citizenry, Joseph Johnson 34 years old, of 1512 Lexington-avenue, is almost pre-eminent. Yohnson, who said he was a dealer in malt and hops, found himself unexpectedly leaning against a lamppost the other night, and he didn't seem quite able to proceed away from there. He therefore looked for a policeman, and when he could not see one, he touched a button on a nearby police signal box, raised the telephone receiver inside, and yelled "Send a cop right away!" The flash of the signal light brought several patrolmen and Yohnson was taken to the police station without delay and in complete agree- Simonton, who has spent much time in Africa and written several books on her explorations and experiences gave a dance the other night to members of the Blue Door Club. Party was on the point of breaking up when an African spear, hangs on the trophy wall, fell to the floor the point cutting Miss Ursula Gilb 26 Van Corlear place, just below ankle. The wound began to swell mediately and some one telephoned Bellevue Hospital for "an antidote African poison." Meantime, he ever, "Congo," whose real name is one appeared to know, took charge affairs. "Congo" works in the dime time as janitor in a Washington Square apartment house, while in evening his services are occasional requisitioned for native dancing. Was as a舞师 that he had summoned to Miss Simonton's parlor He insisted there was only one hour for the spear victim and he accordingly sucked the poison from his wound in true explorer's fashion all turned out well. Another streak of sunshine broke through the clouds of hot hunting for girls who are in New York working and studying and would live comfortably and economically. This streak takes the form the "Cathedral Hotel," to be built at Broadway and 122nd street, der the approval of the Episcopse of New York. Three million dollars will be raised for the construction of the hotel and it will put upon a strict business basis; "charity" is involved. It is believed that rooms can be rented as low $12 a month and still return dents on the investment. While it particularly intended for girls in city alone, there will be apartments for families as well. WISE AND WITTY Decency hires no brass bands. A woman's weakness for weeping her main strength.

Dear Ed: A friend of mine bought a second-hand filver and thought he had learned how to drive it. After he got the car started, he forgot how to stop it, and before the car ran out of gas he was 10 miles out in the back country. He narrowly escaped running over five chickens, two dogs and a cat. —CONTRIB. An injury forgiven is better than an injury revenged.

I'll let you read the papers And pile 'em on the floor, Or wallow in the politics And other things that bore; You needn't when I chatter Pretend that you have heard But won't you, once an hour love, Just throw me out a word? —Nan Terrell Reed in New York Times.

During recent months, however, the interest rates have dropped appreciably and today guaranteed 8 per cent securities are rare. The golden opportunity for conservative investors is rapidly passing. As interest rates decline, the only stocks and bonds which you can be sure will continue to pay the former high rates are those whose dividend rates are guaranteed—the others will naturally seek the normal level.
