There keener anguish rankles in the mind; There feeling is diffused through every part. Thrills in each nerve, and lives in all the heart. — Hannah More. A little navy might create a great big national peril. Even-handed Justice knows no invidious favoritism. So live that when you leave the world, the world will feel indebted to you for having lived. Plant trees as memorials to your loved ones. It is a beautiful way of commemorating the departed. Baseball and golf and other red-blooded games are recreational safety valves for many a strenuous worker. Cheer up; Congress will debate the tariff only three months. It might be worse. It might be three years. There was something in the news dispatches a few days ago about tariff. What is the tariff—a radio apparatus of some kind? If you love Nature, get out in the open frequently and let Nature return your love. Nature is kind to those who love her and abide by her laws. California progresses and develops its own initiative and its own merits without saying or doing things derogatory to other states or sections. Let Congress economize by eliminating "pork-barrel" appropriations rather than by cutting in dangerously upon support for national arms. CARMEL WANTS TO STAY UNIMPROVED California's Carmel-by-the-Sea, famed as the abiding place of writers and artists of national and international renown, has displayed a streak of temperament not often found anywhere in America today. It seems that Carmel has an element in its population who are of the earth earthly—who are prosaic and up-to-date enough to want pavements and other improvements and institutions to put Carmel in the live-wire class of bustling, modernized cities. But Carmel's colony of art and letters wants nothing of the kind. Those folk desire no sidewalks, no artificialities at all. They want Carmel to retain its singularity as an unimproved arts-and-letters colony. To this end they put out a ticket for municipal offices and waged the campaign on this issue and won. So Carmel is to put on her coat-of-arms something to this effect: "Loveliness needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is, when unadorned, adorned the most." And that other from John Milton: "In naked beauty more adorned. More lovely than Pandora." COLORADO RIVER DAM IS SURE TO BE BUILT That the United States government soon will begin construction of a great dam in the Colorado River at Boulder Canyon is announced with categorical certainty in news dispatches from Washington. The government's primary purpose in building the dam will be to prevent disastrous floods in the lower course of the river. There will be two very important by-products of flood-control, namely: The reclamation of vast acreage of fertile lands; and the utilization of the impounded water for generating of electrical power.

California progresses and develops its own initiative and its own merits without saying or doing things derogatory to other states or sections. Let Congress economize by eliminating "pork barrel" appropriations rather than by cutting in dangerously upon support for national armaments or land and sea. Secretary of State Hughes vigorously opposes the scuttling tactics of the "little navy" contingent in Congress. This false economy would be hazardous to the Nation. As the warm season approaches, the thoughts of the male of the speces turn lightly to straw hats, while the female of the species concerns herself with summer furs. Why are there so many shocking crimes? Because so many scoundrelly murders are unhanged, and so many brutal highwaymen are outside, instead of inside, of penitentiaries. Do you know of an illiterate person in your neighborhood? If you do, constitute yourself an enlightening, Americanizing committee to teach that person the rudiments of reading and writing and arithmetic. One could retet far more satisfaction out of doing something helpful like this then by frivolving away time. Ignorance is a bane to the community. ONLY YOU When the day gives way to twilight And the sun's red robes are furled, I am thinking of just one woman' In all of the wide, wide world; I am dreaming of just one sweetheart Where the night winds shed their dew; In all of the perfumed world, dear. For me there is only you. The live oaks spread their branches Afar in a perfumed shade; And the lightning bugs go flitting And darting across the glade; And the nightbirds' song comes ringing. Through the night and the falling dew. And all of the world seems singing Of you, dear heart, of you. If it's love to recall each pressure Of our hands when we have met. If it's love to recall each parting Till one's eyes grow dim and wet— And it is—then know I love you Each day and each night-time through. In all of the world of women For me there is only you. In all this world of women When the sun's red banners furl. I seem to see you only: That the United States government soon will begin construction of a great dam in the Colorado River at Boulder Canyon is announced with categorical certainty in news dispatches from Washington. The government's primary purpose in building the dam will be to prevent disastrous floods in the lower course of the river. There will be two very important by-products of flood-control, namely: the reclamation of vast acreage of fertile lands; and the utilization of the impounded water for generating of electrical power. It is the general opinion in Washington that congress will not proyide for reclamation by the government, or the development of electrical power by the government, but that franchises of these two forms of development will be sold to responsible private interests, under definite restractions and regulations. Ten years will be required to complete the great dam and its cost is roughly estimated at $50,000,000. Good effects in controlling floods should be obtained, however, in two or three years, as construction proceeds. SAVE THE WORLD FLOWERS FROM RUIN All lovers of Nature have sympathetic interest in the active efforts being put forth by Pasadena's Garden club to protect and to preserve native plant life—particularly to save wild-flowers from extinction. Much of the danger to wild-plant life lies in the ignorance of those who gather wild flowers, as to the nature of plants. They indiscriminatingly cut and pick blossoms, preventing the setting of seeds, injuring the roots and stems and tending to exterminate many varieties over wide areas. It is known with regret, what havoc has been wrought upon the fields of California popplies in and about Pasadena. A few years ago these flowers were the glory of the spring-time. But now these blooms, except in plots especially protected, are lamentably scarce. It should be the pride and pleasure of all who go into the open to shield the beautiful plants and flowers against ruthless hands that would destroy them utterly. A little more among all who love the Bore Nature, would suffice to rescue these entrancing little wildflowers from the hand of the despoiler. IN CALIFORNIA The sun shines every day In California.

THIS STORY IMPROVES WITH AGE A cadaverous, sallow Georgia "Cracker" dropped in at the village general store, asked for his mail, loafed around a while, then inquired hopefully about a "sugar bar'." Upon being told that an emptied one had been placed in an adjoining shed, he repaired thence and was busy for some time filling up on 'lasses sugar'. Finally, gorged to repletion, and with a considerable layer adhering to his face, he sat down in the sun with his back against a convenient wall and went to sleep. Shortly, countless flies swarmed over his face, unmolested. Soon a yellow-jacket declared itself in on the feast. The pressure of the flies angered the yellow-jacket, which retaliated in the only way it knew how. The reclining "Cracker" languidly swept his hand over his face with a fan-like motion, and said: "Now, golden yo! Just for that ye all got to git off."—Clipping contributed.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying COMMUNITY PROPERTY PUZZLING—San Francisco Chronicle The Supreme Court of the United States has just sustained a decision of the lower courts that in states whose laws give wives a half interest in the family estate a widow may take her share upon the death of her husband free of any inheritance tax. It is said that the decision will involve refunds in this state to the amount of about $2,000,000. It appears that seven other states have similar laws, but that only in this state have inheritance taxes been collected. As the Federal administration is supposed to be unified that statement, if true, requires explanation. It is claimed that while this decision involves only inheritance taxes it will apply to income surtaxes. The larger the income the higher the percentage of surtax. Incomes of $50,-000 pay a higher rate than those of $25,000. Therefore, if a man with an income of $50,000 registers half of it in the name of his wife the surtax each will be as the lower rate and new YORK, April 17.—In a room on Fourth avenue which was a barroom until the law took away that occupation for rooms, reposses the fan of an Austrian Empress. It still looks like a barroom, because the bar and the brass rail are still in place; but against the wall rests a rosewood case that holds the Empress' fan, with its eleven golden crowns resting on eleven crimson splashes of crimson embroidery at the tops of eleven tortoise shell sticks. The Empress' name is embroidered on it, too. None but the hands of nobility had ever touched it until this past week. It has never been sold and it is not on sale now. When the Empress died, Emperor Franz Joseph sent it back as a keepsake to the woman who made it. A New York business man had been to school with the two sons of that woman and when he was in Eu. They burned about 46 inches an hour, although they were upsettings one of the accepted principles of engineering in doing it at all. It was the first time on record that it had been done, and it was done with an American electric torch, whose flame, unlike that of German and French torches, is unprotected from the water surroundings. There have been rumors thick and fast about plans for Pauline Frederick ever since it was announced that A.H. Woods had drawn her back to the speaking stage from the pictures.

HERE'S A REGULAR SOCIAL LION Edd Yoders entertained ladies at a quilting Wednesday—Route Six correspondence, Wauseon Democrat-Expositor. Dear Sir: Your collection of famous newspaper blunders will not be complete without mention of a well-known newspaper man and former printer who returned to Paducah last December after a 10-year absence. Having a reputation for being as good a conversationalist as writer, this trait was particularly in evidence that night he stepped into one of the newspapers offices, says the Typographical Journal. A reporter thought he would give the former Paducahan more than personal mention, so he wrete at length and brought his "trubt" to a close by saying "he is an expert conversationalist and has a line for all occasions." The "n" failed to drop in "line," a typographical error the visiting journalist good-naturally claimed was made by an operator with whom he formerly worked. FRIEND.

"Tis hard times," he said, "So I'm keeping ahead—I'm eating a week in advance!"—Life. Dear Town in Review: To keep the limericks going, I have dug up this old one for you: There was a young lady of Wilts. Who walked all through Scotland on stilts. When they said, "Oh, how shocking. To see so much stocking!" She said, "How about you and your kilts?" R. G. U. A TELEPHONE MYSTERY Apparently of its own accord, says Popular Mechanics, a rural telephone line in a remote district of Colorado went on a strike for a 16-hour working day. During the daylight hours the line worked perfectly, but between 9 to 10 every night something against the wall rests a rosewood case that holds the Empress' fan, with its eleven golden crowns resting on eleven crimson splashes of crimson embroidery at the tops of eleven tortoise shell sticks. The Empress' name is embroidered on it, too. None but the hands of nobility had ever touched it until this past week. It has never been sold and it is not on sale now. When the Empress died, Emperor Franz Joseph sent it back as a keepsake to the woman who made it. A New York business man had been 'to school with the two sons of that woman, and when he was in Europe recently, he called upon her. Her sons were among the Austrian dead in the war, and she gave this fan in its rosewood case to their American friend as a token from their family. A man whose name was little known but whose portrait has been loved by thousands, died here other day. He was Paul Mason, the model for pretty nearly every Santa Claus picture that has been published in this country for a score of year. His picture as Santa adorns magazine covers, leaflets, tuberculosis campaign stamps, and various other illustrated bits of painted matter. He was 79 years old, and he dropped dead where perhaps he would have most chosen to die, at the Art Students' League, 215 West Fifty-seventh street. Young Viscount Holmesdale, son and heir of the Earl of Amherst, whose ancestor founded Amherst College, is one of our most popular titled visitors of the year. He is with us now and seems to be enjoying himself tremendously. The National Sculpture Society has formulated plans for an exhibition of sculpture and horticulture on the Central Park lawn next autumn. Gone is the South Sea Island fad! Gone are the shredded skirts and the ukeleles, playing "Tahiti" in our smartest cabaret and dancing place. All winter we've been watching South Sea dances and hearing South Sea-ish music. Suddenly, cafe society has turned another page and now everything is Russian; as Russian as it was back in the days of the first Russian ballet which intrigued us so. Russian dances, folk-songs, pantomines, and music now crowd every hour of our after-theatre "clubs." More brightness threatened with extinction! Efforts are being contemplated to remove electric signs from all business streets of Manhattan, now that they have succeeded on Fifth Avenue. Yes, this means Broadway, too, even right at its intersection with Forty-second street. The white light district will be literally a thing of the past then, just as some of its worshippers have declared it was growing to be in spirit since prohibition took away much of its appeal.

WISE AND WITTY The quiet man does the best work. Being on the level is greater Faith, Hope and Charity. A judge with indigestion is apt to give the prisoner the limit. The most precious things in the world are those for which nothing was paid. Persistence wins over brilliancy every time. Care in driving and care in walking would reduce greatly the number of serious traffic accidents. This country will not be a good place for any one of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in. Theodore Roosevelt. A TELEPHONE MYSTERY Apparently of its own accord, says Popular Mechanics, a rural telephone line in a remote district of Colorado went on a strike for a 16-hour working day. During the daylight hours the line worked perfectly, but between 9 to 10 every night something happened and the telephones would not work until morning. Finally the manager and lineman started on a nocturnal trouble hunt. Early in the morning they reached the last house on the line and were admitted by the aged occupant. Conspicuous on the top of the wall telephone were his metal-rimmed spectacles that rested in electrical contact across the terminals, where it was his habit to leave them every night. The mystery was solved. Dear Town in Review: Regarding celebrated typographical errors, a Mayfield, Ky., paper recently carried an advertisement announcing a leading music store in that city has "The best fakes of phonograph records!" It was clear to all the printers that an "f" inadvertently placed itself in position where an "m" properly belonged, but it took a whole lot of reasoning to convince the sensitive advertiser. FRIEND. More brightness threatened with extinction! Efforts are being contemplated to remove electric signs from all business streets of Manhattan, now that they have succeeded on Fifth Avenue. Yes, this means Broadway, too, even right at its intersection with Forty-second street. The white light district will be literally a thing of the past then, just as some of its worshippers have declared it was growing to be in spirit since prohibition took away much of its appeal. People who think of Broadway as a brightly lighted street would be amazed if they could see it with only its street lights shining. Minus the glow of advertising signs it would be poorly illuminated, indeed. Burning anything under water doesn't sound a simple task. Burning cast iron anywhere seems doubtful. But cast iron was actually burned under water recently, when Staten Island's water supply had been cut off by a damaged pipe. For one solid month, divers worked in two hour shifts, burning inch by inch through both ends of a damaged iron pipe.
