DALLY GREETING TO READERS To splendor only do we live? Must pomp alone our thoughts employ? All, all that pomp and splendor give, Is dearly bought with love and joy. —Cartwright. Economy in government should be the rule. Too often it is the exception, not the rule. The proceedings of the Genoa conference will be an historical volume bound in Russia. Providence makes the weather, and man makes a mistake when he grumbles at the work of Providence. Reduce the United States navy only when other first-class maritime powers reduce their correspondingly. Gardeners find, by bitter experience, that the cut-worm will turn, and avenge itself for man's hostility to it. Lack of proper training and good wholesome influence in the home lead many boys and girls into vices and crime. The influences one exerts endure through eternity. Hence the solitary importance of exerting the right kind of influence. The radio is the gossips' despair. It indicates to them that they are missing something whenever they are not "listening in." The United States navy should be sufficiently strong to call for no apology and no apprehension on the INFLUENCES THAT LEAD MEN TO CRIME A confirmed criminal, imprisoned in Joliet penitentiary—a burglar who has educated himself since his imprisonment began and who speaks with intelligence—has given a reason for the prevailing crime situation that deserves careful attention. He spoke before the law-enforcement committee of the American Bar Association — this committee having gone to the Joliet prison to get the opinions of several prisoners. Environment and association, said this prisoner, are the most potent factors in leading to crime. This prisoner-philosopher went on to say, in illustrating his views, that when a young man reaches the age of 18 or 20 he begins to give attention to women. Should he make friends with one or more girls or women who are not of the best type he is easily tempted to spend extravagantly to entertain these sirens. This is at a time when most young men are not making much money, hence the temptation to steal. And once he becomes a thief he finds that there are organized gangs of thieves and crooks. And, says this prisoner, this erring young man finds that thieves have their lawyers and their professional bondsmen and witnesses. Once coming under this influence great numbers of young men go more and more deeply into crime and become hardened. This is the gist of the reasons assigned by this Joliet prisoner for much of the criminality that is prevalent today. It savors somewhat of Adam's shifting blame to the woman. But there is food for thought in the views given. It is true that the sexes react upon each other very strongly in their influence for good or for ill. TOWN IN BLUE BLOOD By H.

The radio is the gossips' despair. It indicates to them that they are missing something whenever they are not "listening in." The United States navy should be sufficiently strong to call for no apology and no apprehension on the part of the government and the people. The whole moving-picture profession should not be condemned or stigmatized because of the moral delinquencies of a comparatively few screen characters. The way the lower house of Congress gets along and does things—or fails to do things—with its present membership does not argue strongly in favor of increasing its personnel. The good work that the Arms Conference accomplished should not be undone or undermined by any misguided, mischievous action on the part of Congress. There should be no reckless experimenting that might impair the soundness of the treaties and agreements formulated in the great conference. WISE AND WITTY Creating the world was a big job, and yet it was done without a board of directors or a publicity department. Some people are so slow they don't catch summer complaint until around New Year's. Being on the level and being on the job is a combination you can't beat. ECONOMIES EFFECTED IN GOVERNMENT Reassuring news comes from Washington to the effect that the federal budget system is making it possible to effect substantial economies in conducting the affairs of the national government. Efforts are being made to put all government operations on business-like basis. This, however, hardly can be effected at once. It will require time to overhaul the departments, take out the deadwood, consolidate and simplify, and raise the standards of efficiency. But enough has been accomplished to prove that more can be done. This should not be treated as a political question. It should be the earnest, sincere concern of all parties, whether in the majority or the minority, to co-operate for economy in government. The people should insist upon business-like administering of government affairs, and should stand for this resolutely, without being diverted or distracted from their purpose by partisan political prejudice or passion. Sound business judgment at the polls from responsible citizens is needed to bring to pass these practical reforms and substantial economies in government. Nothing seems to be legal any more. A woman with good taste can dress well on very little money.

Is where you'll find my face. I have my riding stables and My autoe—closed, of course, And when I'm tired of motoring I jog out on my horse. "Twixt golf and bridge, my time is spare, For I must have my game; I live a life of little care— Yes, Blue Blood is my name! I rise at six each week-day morn And start the business wheels On turns of real prosperity That all the country feels. I have my hands, I have my head, I use my brain and brawn.

A scarcity of ex-unemployed is reported. New York women are debating whether a dog or a cow is man's best friend. Did you ever see a cow rush out to meet a man coming from work? LEARN A WORD A DAY Today's word is ABERRATION. It's pronounced — ab-er-ray-shuh, with accent on the third syllable. It means—mental disorder, wandering, hallucination, "seeing things." It comes from Latin — "ab," away, and "errare," to err. It's used like this—"Frequent aberrations are a sign of approaching insanity." Explain further: If a cow ever rushed out to meet you when you came home from work, you had an aberration. And probably a drink, too. Why do some men marry for a house and stay away from it?" inquiries that typical student of man- Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying NEEDED COMPULSORY ARBITRATION—Sacramento Bee In view of the great coal miners' strike, the San Bernardino Sun sees but one possible compensation for the hardships and severe losses it is likely to inflict; namely, that it will pave the way to a "National arbitration method of some sort." And it thinks we may never get such a law without such a tremendous incitement to it. The Sun does not advocate any particular method, but remarks in this regard: "It may be the straight compulsory arbitration law of New Zealand and the Australian states, but so sure as 600,000 miners and their employers refuse to adjust their differences and throw the nation into industrial chaos, just when the strong hand and stady nerve of every man and woman is needed to help in the stride toward returning activities; just that sure such a law will be enacted." "For the public, who are from 90 to 99 per cent of those concerned in the great strike, have willed it that these outbreaks are unjust, destructive, damaging, dangerous and that they ought to be unlawful." But, so far as the need of compulsory arbitration is concerned, it makes no difference which side is at fault, or whether both sides are more or less in the wrong. The need of making arbitration obligatory, where the public welfare is concerned, and of compelling all parties to submit to the awards of the arbitrators, arises from the necessity of protecting the people; of preserving industry, commerce and transportation from ruinous obstruction or suspension, causing great loss to many thousands in no way parties to the dispute which leads to the strike or lock-out. No arbitration law can be of much public benefit unless compulsory, and also legally binding and enforceable against the parties to the dispute which is arbitrated. NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, April 20.—There is one patron of art in this city who gives his aid, not by buying pictures—so much as in helping to create the artists' ability to paint them. No one knows his name or his station. He appears in one of our art schools or in some gallery, seeking out paintings of the sea. Then he takes names of peniless young artists who painted some of them. Sooner or later these artists "hear something to their advantage" — Patrick Freemanville (which is not his real name) will help them ship as landsmen or stewards, so that they may see the ocean as it is. A good many young painters have gladly taken up the offer of a chance to know the sea. "Patrick Freemanville" then arranges all the details. He secures a berth seem to have vanished into the darkness of braid-finned hemis on our skirts. There just aren't any more. We were well on the way to a general chorus of being permanently waved before the bobbed-hair craze struck us. Since then—well, even those of us most reluctant to spend our time in having steam coils make us beautiful must admit that for the bobbed-haired girl there isn't any choice. If she is going to be pliant and fetching, she cannot let her hair drop lanky into space. And she has spurred the rest of us on to deciding that after all, good looks are worth the bother. I was interested in talking the other day to the father of the permanent wave movement and process, O. Nestle, who occupies a It comes from Latin—"ab," away, and "errare," to err. It's used like this—"Frequent aberrations are a sign of approaching insanity." Explain further: If a cow ever rushed out to meet you when you came home from work, you had an aberration. And probably a drink, too. Why do some men marry for a home and stay away from it? Inquires that cynical student of mankind, Lil Gee Gee, the office vamp. AFTER DEATH Suppose you and a friend ran away from civilization and built a log cabin in the woods. After finishing, you'd say. "Well, that's a pretty good job for just two of us." Then, turning philosophical, you'd add: "Of course, we have to give some credit to the many men, now dead, who invented axes, saws, hammers and nails for us. Without their efforts, the job would have taken us much longer. In effect, the dead men exercised the same influence as if they were here and helped us." Look about you and you'll observe that nearly everything you use in daily life is a gift from the dead. The inventors have passed on. But, through their creations, they continue as active producers. SHE LET HIM LAY He met her at the skating rink—Yes, such things will occur; And as he tripped and lost his poise, The poor guy fell for her. The wheels of the diamond cutters have begun to whir again in Maiden Lane, after months of idleness. This is one of the most reliable indications of coming prosperity, according to shrewd observers, and is something to give us cheer, whatever may be our work. To New York comes the finest stock of diamonds in the world, today, and they are cut and cleaved and polished in those little skyscraper shops down in and about Maiden Lane. I wonder if there is anyone left in the world with straight hair such as we used to see on at least nine out of ten people!

Los Angeles St., Anaheim Phone 713 JEWETT A Thrifty Six Built by Paige JEWETT Camera As Great As Pen in Picturing Humanity Joseph Hergesheimer, Famous Story Writer, Believes Simple Tales of Real Folks Are Best for Screen. "The story is the thing," according to Joseph Hergesheimer, the famous story writer whose "Toyable David" has been brought to the screen by Richard Barthelmess as that young star's first independent release through Associated First National Pictures, Inc., and which opens for a local engagement at the California starting tomorrow. And Mr. Barthelmess, despite his accession to stardom, concurs for both actor and writer stress the necessity for real humanness in motion pictures. Mr. Hergesheimer, new to the film-craft, until the screening of his story brought him closely into touch with it through personal supervision, also concedes that the camera is as great as the pen in recording true humanity. There is nothing impossible for the camera man, he declares. Since most people have a little scenario in their home — though some of them regard it as a family skeleton — this author's comments on the requirements of the screen, brought strongly to him during the months he spent in the Virginia mountains with the Barthelmess company, must be of more than passing interest. "The motion picture presents at once a creative financial and a technical problem, in the combining of which disasters often occur to the principal consideration—a good story. Undoubtedly, for moving pictures, a story, to be good, must move; it must be expressed in action, in the clash of characters, rather than in character study itself; it must have emotion and it may have atmosphere."
