As to your bad impulses: "Treat 'em rough!" Every little cottage has a radio outfit all its own. Anarchists are ever and always undesirable immigrants. Every little breeze carries a radio message all its own. God made the world round, and only man makes it crooked. The fruits of thrift are very sweet in the days of adversity. Women's skirts have joined the ranks of the higher-ups. The time is at hand to begin to be super-careful with fire in the forest reserves. Some future mistress of the White House may be out in the yard, making mud pies. Roy Gardner is not working his specialty just now, for good and sufficient reasons. Women on juries could not, if they should try, botch things any worse than male jurors oftentimes do. PERSONNEL OF NAVY NOT TO BE CUT MUCH Personnel of the United States navy is not to be cut mercilessly and imprudently. Action of the House, in committee of the whole, in voting to raise the personnel from 67,000 to 86,000, foreshadows adoption of this latter figure. With $6,000 men the American navy can maintain the ratio of strength agreed upon in the Arms Conference for the naval holiday. It is the part of wisdom to maintain this strength. But advocacy of an adequate number of officers and men to make the American navy effective should not be construed as being against the movements for disarmament. Those in favor of a navy of sufficient strength to be impressive, feel that reductions in armament should come only then concerted action of the great maritime powers. It would be better for the United States to follow closely the strength designated in the naval holiday treaty, and to proceed from the advancement thus made to work in the same manner for additional reductions. In other words, long before this naval holiday expires, it would be in order for the United States to suggest another international conference and to suggest another reduction in armaments, perhaps both on sea and land. AMERICA'S AID BREAKS RUSSIAN FAMINE The famine in Russia, pronounced the greatest in the world's history, has been broken, and this by the great generosity of the American people and the efficiency of the American Relief Administration. The suffering is not ended. But relief is going forward for "four times as many people as were in the American army in France at its zenith." Trag vast and noble work will redeem to the story.

Women on juries could not, if they should try, botch things any worse than male jurors oftentimes do. If men would only manage as well in their affairs as does Mother Nature, who is neither stingy nor profligate. No man truly rich no matter how many millions he may have, who is unkind, ungenerous and uncharitable. The ancient Homer was the home-runking in literature, as Babe Ruth, with his numerous homers, is of baseball. Some persons think opera is grand, and a few think it is hideous. But as the majority think its grand, let it go at that. After a little experience, the love which "laughs at locksmiths" does not even grin at a Yale lock with a key lost. Captain Amundsen is going to send the news down from the North Pole by radio. Hope it comes in August, on a polar wave of air. When President Harding comes to California this summer he will wish he could move the Capitol and the White House out here. The person who does not have a speaking acquaintance with the language of radio, including wireless terms, is a back-number. President Harding will come to the Pacific Coast this summer if Congress adjourns in time. Get out of the way, Congress, and let California have a Presidential visit! Foreign trade of the United States, both as to imports and exports, is increasing. Umpel Sam is always ready to do business and always has considerable business to do. Young people should be impressed with the serious consequences which arise oftentimes from the influence one exerts. One person may bring trouble and disaster upon many through a bad influence. The reclaimable youth who first violates law should not be thrust into prison alongside a gang of hardened criminals. The redeemable element among prisoners should be separated from the confirmed law-breakers. AMERICA'S AID BREAKS RUSSIAN FAMINE The famine in Russia, pronounced the greatest in the world's history, has been broken, and this by the great generosity of the American people and the efficiency of the American Relief Administration. The surfering is not ended. But relief is going forward for "four times as many people as were in the American army in France at its zenith." Tang vast and noble work will redound to the glory of the American people. Many times in the last decade, has the country demonstrated to the world that its philanthropic impulses are broad as the world and that it gives with lavish hand when famine stalks in any part of the earth. There is one portion of the world, however, which is not being supplied adequately at present with the relief which it needs so desperately—that is, Armenia. There famine reigns with no means of aid, except that which generous America may give. The Near East Relief is making urgent appeal in behalf of this worthy philanthropy. Armenian children are perishing, and that devoted Christian people is enduring unspeakable agonies. America should respond quickly and liberally, and if no doubt will do so, when the full horror of the Armenian situation becomes known generally. GUATEMALA GIVEN FULL RECOGNITION President Harding has extended full official recognition to the new government in Guatemala. There were serious political disturbances in that Central American republic a few weeks ago. But the situation again has become tranquil and a government has been established which has the confidence of the United States government. It is a happy augury that political disturbances down there should end so quickly and with so little blood shed. It was not always so. Time was when revolution followed revolution in bloody, disastrous succession. But the United States has assumed the attitude and prerogatives of a big brother to that part of the homeland, with salutary results. Needless lutions are frowned upon by Washington government and American naval forces are used, if necessary, to prevent useless bloodletting and anarchy down there. As a consequence, those Latin republics have become well pacified and are making orderly progress and are propering. Things can't be judged from the outside; take off the wrapper and see what's there. Great beauty and great intelligence are seldom found together in the same woman.

Harding. NOW WHAT DYE MAKE OF THIS?

It is bad enough to be a quitter, but it is almost equally bad to keep on working or something that never should have been started. There is something for each of us to do in this world. None of us can afford to regard ourselves as unimaginable. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying RADIO ON TRAINS SOW—Sioux City Tribune. In the old days it was the golden-braided daughter of the section boss who grabbed her father's red flannel shirt off the clothes line, staggered across the trestle, and flagged the fast express just in time to prevent a head-on collision with extra No. 1312. And of course she was later married to the handsome young fireman (the handsome engineer already being married) who caught her in his arms as her blue eyes closed in a swoon. In the new days the romance is to be taken out of life. After a series of tests, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad announces that a swiftly moving express train may be kept in touch with wireless stations from several miles away. The Lackawanna Limited, moving at sixty-five miles an hour, plamily heard calls even while rushing through long tunnels and through ravines and cuts. Continuous conversation was carried on, and the many passengers who gathered in the car that had been two for braving personal danger in safeguarding the public. NEW YORK, April 19. — We are going to have an armed and straight-shooting citizenry of both men and women here in this high civilized city before long. Women and girls employed by banks and large corporations whose duties include the handling of quantities of currency are being formed into target classes over on Governor's Island, where they will be taught how to use a pistol effectively by U. S. Army officers. The only requirements for admission to the classes will be credentials from their employers as to the duties of the applicants. Miss Agnes Stafford, a blind girl DIVISION OF COSTS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION What part of the cost of a road goes into grading and structures which are more or less permanent and what part goes into the paving which may eventually wear out? This question is answered fully by statistics compiled by the U. S. Department of Agriculture on 1350 completed Federal-aid roads involving 7500 miles of road at a total cost of $112,000,000. Of the total cost, 21 per cent went into grading, 14 per cent structures, 62 per cent paying and 3 per cent for engineering. These BUT WHY THE DISTINCTION?

It is bad enough to be a quitter, but it is almost equally bad to keep on working at something that never should have been started. There is something for each of us to do in this world. None of us can afford to regard ourselves as unimportant. None of us dare lose faith in self and the things self can accomplish. Work requires an坚韧 effort. Constant striving is possible in the face of defeat only when our belief in the ultimate victory is a serious and unswerving conviction. "Believe in yourself, and you'll go on to justify that belief." Let's make that our creed.—Selected. ILLUSION AND TRUTH I clasped illusion to my breast. In dreams of shining splendor.

When you are courting, observed Luke McLuke, a kiss often lasts 30 seconds. But when you are married, a kiss seldom lasts longer than 3-5 of a second. A love-sick Anaheim youth stood under his girl's window for 15 minutes one night recently and whistled for her to come out. She didn't respond, but when he looked around he found 16 dogs lined up, all waiting to see which one he was whistling for. ON THE GO She's prone to rush around and fuss, I speak of Mrs. Young; Although she's not industrious, She has a busy tongue. —Barracuda Pete. Miss Agnes Stafford, a blind girl of this city has received a gold bracelet adorned with pearls from Queen Elena of Italy, in askwidement of a handwoven purse which Miss Stafford sent the Queen. Consul-General Bernardi clasped the bracelet about her wrist at the Italian Consulate. Miss Stafford has turned out beautiful examples of hand-weaving, having developed her faculty of touch to the point where she not only weaves but also designs her own patterns, making fabrics containing perfectly harmonious color combinations. People are not forgotten after all. For the past week, since the seventy-year-old actress, was ill and world learned that Rose Coghlan, almost destitute, each mail has been bringing her messages of concern and promises of aid. The letters come from Broadway, Fifth avenue and the Bowery, for the Coghlan admirers are of all social ranks and all degrees of wealth. Many remember the famous actress of long ago playing leads in her own company or in "Diplomacy," "School for Scandal," and "As You Like It," at Wallack's Theatre, and becoming through her success the toast of the town and the idol of theatre-goers. Miss Coghlan's little apartment is being stripped of its cherished tapestries, which are being sold to antique hunters and curio collectors for whatever they will bring. Originally they and most of the furniture in her three rooms were used in her production of Oscar Wilde's "A Woman of No Importance," her last adventure as an actress-manager. Medals have been presented to 17 local telephone employees for noteworthy public service during the past year. Six are for life-saving from drowning, seven for saving life under other circumstances, two for unusual service in the detection of crime, and WILL SERVE YOU WELL The Quality Storage Battery Service With a Smile Automotive Electric Co.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim DIVISION OF COSTS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION What part of the cost of a road goes into grading and structures which are more or less permanent and what part goes into the paving which may eventually wear out? This question is answered fully by statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on 1350 completed Federal-aid roads involving 7500 miles of road at a total cost of $112,000,000. Of the total cost, 21 per cent went into grading, 14 per cent structures, 62 per cent paying and 3 per cent for engineering. These are the average figures for the whole of the United States and there is considerable variation in different sections. In the Middle Atlantic States where grading is not heavy and paying must be built for heavy traffic the cost of the paving rises to 75 per cent and the grading and structures amount to 15 per cent and 9 per cent respectively. In the mountain states the problem is very different, much of the work being new construction with heavy grading and where the highest type of surface is not necessary. In this group of states the cost of grading amounted to 33 per cent structures 21 per cent and paving 41 per cent. The percentage for California in 1922 will be somewhat less than 25 per cent for paving only. WISE AND WITTY The main idea today seems to be a front seat and a good time. It often happens that a man's immorality is in direct ratio with his income. An amazing amount of pretense masquerades under the label of "purity."

The party will leave the office of the Riverside Water Company, 6th and Main streets, Riverside at 9 o'clock a.m.; the Anderson hotel, Colton, at 9:15 o'clock a.m., and leave San Bernardino at 9:30 a.m. via T street to 4th and down 4th to B street. Another section of the party will leave the office of the Bear Valley Mutual Water Company, Redlands, at 9:30 o'clock. Those coming from different points in Orange co. should arrange to assemble at the office of the Riverside Water Company at Riverside at 9 o'clock a.m. There will be pilot cars to lead the party so that no time will be lost reaching the water spreading grounds. This trip will be probably the most enlightening and interesting of any that has yet been made, for the reason that more water is being sunk this season than in any previous year during which this work has been carried on. The Association will furnish hot coffee. Each party should bring luncheon. All are cordially invited to join in this trip of inspection.
