DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS GOOD MORNING! Dearly bought, the hidden treasure Piner feelings can bestow! Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure, Thrill the deepest notes of woe. Burn. As for Semenoff, sendhimoff across the Atlantic. The Babe-Ruth home-run news is sadly missed. Russia is the stormy petrel of European politics. The aerial wireless is becoming the popular national air. It is now Europe's turn to give the god Mars a black eye. Are you an up-to-date one, with a little radio outfit in your home? Nero seems to have been a gentle lamb compared with this creature Semenoff. Europe is not content with piece-meal peace. It is striving now for general peace. Uncle Sam should be able to recognize Mexico, because it has a cleaner face than it had. It is muddy moral waters in which children and men flounder which produce waves of crime. Every dollar placed in needed permanent betterments is a good investment for this community. Moving pictures should be made clean and those which are not clean should not be made at all. Moving pictures must be made and kept clean, and those who produce SEMINOFF A MONSTER; SEND HIM AWAY! General Semenoff, ataman of the Cossacks, stands denounced before the world by responsible American military commanders as a creature horribly cruel. In his campaigns in Siberia, if even a fraction of the reports about his operations and methods are true, he rivalled Nero in perpetrating horrible cruelties. If these reports came alone from his enemies in Russia, they could be discounted. But they come from American army officers who were stationed in Siberia, in the immediate vicinity of Semenoff's operations. These Americans could have no object whatever to misrepresent conditions or to cast obloquy unjustly upon General Semenoff. In view of these revelations, it would be in order for federal authorities to deport Semenoff. This country should not harbor any foreigner who has fathered shocking cruelties. To tolerate Semenoff's presence in this country, after these startling disclosures, might create the impression in some parts of the world that the government and people of the United States regard lightly such horrors. If Semenoff cannot clear himself of these gruesome accusations, he should be sent out of this country and the world should be told why, in pointed language. RADIO IS ENVVELOPING THE WORLD FAST Say it by radio— The world, figuratively, is failing at the feet of wireless—if anything so insubstantial can be visualized as having feet!

Every dollar placed in needed permanent betterments is a good investment for this community. Moving pictures should be made clean and those which are not clean should not be made at all. Moving pictures must be made and kept clean, and those who produce them should do the cleansing. Grand opera either is entrancing melody or else a jumble of meaningless sounds—it all depends upon one's taste. That Genoa conference is not yawning because of dullness, Russia and its delegation are providing plenty of excitement. David Lloyd George, in that Genoa conference, is not as a small toad in a large puddle. He is easily the dominating figure of that assembly. In picking wild flowers, be careful not to kill the plants. These beauties of the woodlands and fields should not be exterminated by carelessness. They claim to have found singing frogs in the marshes of Louisiana. And this, under the Eighteenth Amedment! Legal procedure, as it is today, ties many a rope across the pathway of blindfolded Justice, and oftentimes the goddess is tripped up by her supposed friends. Marriage is not necessarily a failure, nor generally speaking, is it a failure. Like any other human institution it is subject to the frailties and vagaries of human nature. The United States navy should not be cut down a single man below the point of prudence and safety. World relations are too delicate for reckless experimenting or trifling. Should President Harding come to California this summer—and he will, if Congress adjourns in time—the will be recorded a very hospitable welcome. It will be his first visit to the Pacific Coast since entering the White House. Mr. Harding is a popular personality and politics will be forgotten when he comes. It required three trials and an estimated cost of $25,000 to the taxpayer bring Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle to nequittal. It would have been more economical if the trial judge, when Arbuckle was first put on trial, had instructed the jury, without hearing evidence for more than an hour, to bring in a verdict. RADIO IS ENVYLOPING THE WORLD FAST Say it by radio— The world, figuratively, is falling at the feet of wireless—if anything so insubstantial can be visualized as having feet! First the wireless telegraph, which brought wonders. And now wireless telephony, which has caught the whole country and is taking multitudes by storm. The boy of the alley or the freckle-face out on the farm talk in familiar strain the terms of radio and have their outfits for "listening in". The marvels of this new development already are becoming commonplace. Uses of radio are multiplying so fast they almost make one dizzy. Messages fly through the air with unerring accuracy for phenomenal distances. The globe is practically belled by these unseen etheric pathways of intelligible communication. Radio virtually has revolutionized the United States weather bureau service. Storm warnings are broadcasted and farmers of the middle west are installing radios and are forewarned of tornadoes and other destructive visitations. A mighty beneficent force in Nature is used to outwit the destructive forces of nature. Europe must light the lamps of industry and economy if it is to see its way back to economic normality. The Colorado river is to be dammed, its floods controlled and it is to be made a useful servant instead of a destructive demon during the flood season. The air has not been conquered so completely by man that he is immune to deadly accidents in it. Occasionally there is a tragedy. But aerial travel has been made much safer than it was. There is too much lost motion in criminal courts. There are too many quicks that make legal procedure anything but dignified and impressive, in some cases. There should be orderly, judicious reform and simplifying of procedure, to facilitate the work of courts and to make the course of justice straight and sure. Citizens and those who are returning temporarily in this state are having compensation now for the rainy days of the winter. Aside from the material value of the state—which is enormous—the copious precipitation of the winter has brought forth such a wealth of flowers and vegetation as seldom seen; even in this floral paradise. One has but to go forth and look upon the fields and the lands to behold glories of varied hue that dazzle the eye. It is well worth a few winter days of shut-in experience to have the rainfall to produce this wondrous miracle of Nature. THE HIGH COST OF FREE TICKETS Probably nothing is so expensive in a nation to the original free tickets to a event.

Phone Yard Manager GIBBS LUMBER ANAHEIM Town in Review This is the time of the year when you will promise most every candidate you meet to vote for him at the fall election, and then vote for somebody else, or forget to vote at all. Dear Sir; This sign appeared recently in the window of a local store: "LADIES' CORSETS." Are there any other kind? Can it be possible that the men are now wearing 'em? —J. L. F. DID IT EVER AFFECT YOU THAT WAY? Mr. and Mrs. John Savage, residing in Park Place, are the happy parents of a daughter, born to them on Wednesday, March 8. Mother and the new little baby are getting along very well, but Mr. Savage up to noon on Thursday had not reported for work with Spellman & Company. —Lincoln, Ill., Evening Star. A young woman had a birthday recently. A little girl, knowing it was the young woman's birthday, asked her how old she was. She told her age and the little girl said: "Is that all?" And now the young lady wonders who among the older women, has been talking. The early bird catches the worm, but go does the early apple — Hollins. SPRING The ocean roared from shore to shore. And snow fell deep on town and farm. The cows they switched their tails. And walked into the barn. —Author at Large. Remember the good old days when you fished with a bent pin, a willow pole, and a string, and how you caught more fish than you have ever been able to catch since with about $100 worth of the best tackle? For we perish by our own folly — Honer. THE HIGH COST OF FREE TICKETS Probably nothing else in the world is so expensive in upkeep in proportion to the original cost as a pair of free tickets to a theatre or athletic league. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying GIRLS TAKING TO MARBLES Indianapolis Star On the heels of the announcement by a wealthy Chicago woman, who is lecturing on sociological psychology, that women have emerged from their serfdom and are now victors, merely demanding the right to be let alone to develop, to demonstrate and to expand, copies in a news item from Boston an alarming proof of this demand for expansion. Woman's invasion of man's sphere has extended to girls on the playground. The boys of Greater Beest are making a stand against their entry into a sport hitherto almost exclusively their own — marbles. On the sidewalks of suburb, since signs of spring appeared, passers-by, forced to detour to the curbing, have found girls almost as numerous as boys in the game. The sisters play for keeps, too, and often with a skill that has sent the brothers home marple less. The boys of Greater Boston are taking a stand, says the correspondent, but does not add in what way the conflict is waged, and whether or not the girls resort to strictly feminine methods of combat. Neither does he tell us of the outcome. Merely taking a stand, in a community in which the feminine element outnumbered the male sounds much like a forlorn hope, with defeat not far distant. PASTORS TALK STRIKE Binghamton Sun Nobody thinks of a preacher as an overworked individual. Popular idea seems to be that he spends most of the week writing his Sunday sermon and has the rest of the time, outside of an occasional wedding or funeral, in which to take life easy, discuss the topics of the day with parishioners he chances to meet on the street, read good books or even go fishing if he feels so inclined. It is because folks are thoughtless about these things that a pastor out in Cincinnati is talking about organizing a strike. At a meeting of the Methodist Ministers Association he suggested a walkout of the ministers of that church as a means of ridding themselves of many of the demands made upon them. Times taken up by church activities, he says, should be devoted to communion with God and to study of that which is best in religion and philosophy. More than a hundred Methodist pastors have broken down under the strain during the last few years, he declared. The proposed preachers' strike will provide new material for newspaper paragraphers for a time and that's where it will end. Nevertheless, shorter house and higher pay for preachers is a reasonable demand, and it should not be necessary even to suggest such a thing as a strife to impress this upon the public. NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, April 18. —The first "music auto" in the form of a radio receiving truck has appeared upon our streets. It looks as though the spring season of the old-time hurdy-gurdy men is about to be ruined completely. This radio hurdy-gurdy is a light truck on top of which is strung an aerial to receive the concerts which a company gives in various sections of Brooklyn. A large magnovoir puts out of the top to throw the leading role. Its success at the Provincetown theatre augurs to continued success uptown. Even our burglars have put their profession on a business basis. Detectives have just discovered that two burglars, with long police records, but with undiminished enterprise, have been conducting their business from office at 25 West 47th Street. NEW YORK, April 18.—The first "music auto" in the form of a radio receiving truck has appeared upon our streets. It looks as though the spring season of the old-time hurdy-gurdy men is about to be ruined completely. This radio hurdy-gurdy is a light truck on top of which is strung an aerial to receive the concerts which a company gives in various sections of Brooklyn. A large magnovor juts out of the top to throw the sound. The apparatus is grounded on the emergency brade of the car. "Finale hopper" is the latest addition to our slang. One hears it a dozen times a day or more—according to the age and enthusiasm of one's associates. A "finale hopper" is a youth who drops in at a dance, uninvited; at the very end of it when inspection of guests won't be close or particular, and when, if he is recognized by the hostess and she remembers that he was not on her list of guest-men, it might be assumed that he and just stopped in to escort home some one who was there by all right of invitation. One of the most individual houses in all New York City was sold the other day. It is at 7 East Tenth-st. and was for many years the home of Lockwood de Forest, the artist, who now lives in California. The doors, door frames, window frames, saashes and bay window are of carved Indian teakwood; the walls of the hall, foyer and grand staircase to the second floor are lined with Indian tiles; and the fireplaces and chimney breasts are of the same rare old tiles, some of which are said to have been in existence before the birth of Christ. One and one-half million miles a day are covered by New York taxis. There are 15,000 of them in the city, and it is estimated that they average 100 miles a day. New Yorkers are said to use taxis more than the residents of any other city in the world. Marjorie Rambeau is coming back to town shortly, after a few months of the road with "Daddy Goes A-Hunting." We will be glad to see her. She is to have the lead role in a promising play from the French, "Jenny Jones" by name, and Wilton Lackaye who has been absent from Broadway still longer, will have a prominent place in the cast. The loss of one patron—Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt—is given by R. Pickard, art dealer, as a cause of his firm being wrecked. It would seem as though the art business were operating on a narrow margin these days. "The Hairy Ape," the remarkable play by Eugene O'Nell, which the Provincetown Players produced at their down town playhouse, will be brought up to the Plymouth Theatre by Arthur Hopkins, later this month. LEVEN BIG CONCERTS—itan Opera Company gives son Trio, an all-star group Brothers Trio, three talent Oceanie Quintet, a popul unique musical entertainment you fished with a bent pin, a willow pole and a string, and how you caught more fish than you have ever been able to catch since with about $100 worth of the best tackle. For we perish by our own folly—Homer. THE HIGH COST OF FREE TICKETS Probably nothing else in the world is so expensive in upkeep in proportion to the original cost as a pair of free tickets to a theatre or athletic event. One Kansas City young man was given a couple of tickets to the basket ball tournament last night. He called his "date," who informed him that she would have to be downtown late, ad wouldn't have time to go home to dinner and get back in time for the opening event. He couldn't muff that suggestion, so he volunteered a dinner downtown. Dashing downtown, he made the rounds of haberdashers and barber shops, dolling up for the dinner at a cost of $7 and then not the date and found the dinner. The dinner was $7.40. Since it never rains but it pours, they found after the match was over that it was snowing and raining and blowing. Taxi, $2.40. Total for the evening, $17.20, which is not unreasonable, considering the tickets cost nothing. K.C. Star. World's oldest conundrum: What is the west side of a boy? Why, the side the son sets on. Common sense is getting more and more uncommon every day. YET THERE IS ALWAYS FRUIT Let's have it over with and done! The frost may spoil the springtime fun. Each annual custom must prevail. Here goes: The fruit crop's going to fail! One of the best jokes on record concerns a Santa Ana apartment house where the rooms were so small that the dog had to wag his tail up and down instead of sideways. If you are right half of the time, your batting average is 'way above normal. BROTHER GUFLER PUTS ON HIS BLACKS Al Gufler had on his black suit today to entertain J. Haffry Grego, of New York, executive head of the National Credit Men's association. Thursday and Friday the Gazette boss had on his black suit to entertain Joseph Hergesheimer, the novelist. In this town the black suit on week days is a sign of compay further east than Kansas City. It takes a man from further east than Chicago to get W.Winney into his blacks. He had a bunch here 10 days ago from St.Louis, and only had the windows of the telephone office washed. Which is our idea of great sang froid and leading role. Its success at the Provincetown theatre augurs recontinued success uptown. Even our burglars have put their profession on a business basis. Detectives have just discovered that two burglars, with long police records, but with undiminished enterprise, have been conducting their business from an office at 25 West Twenty-third-st. The office was simply furnished and there was no sign on the door, but a purchase voucher, file case and all the other appurtenances of an office were there, efficiently in place. The purchase vouchers listed along with office furniture, such business equipment as; one crowbar; one goose neck; one dozen high speed bits, one concrete wedge, one circle saw, and two flashlights. The wrong medicine and poor medical advice are responsible for many a tombsome. WILL SERVE YOU WELL The Quality Storage Battery Service With a Smile Automotive Electric Co. Phone 155 234 S.
