The radioitis germ is infecting about as many persons as the "flu." Should Villa return to politics, good-bye to peace in Mexico! Husky exercise in the open air is a sovereign remedy for "spring fever." Thrift in the days of prosperity is insurance against hardships in the days of adversity. The middle West is having its bitter object-lesson as to the need of scientific control of floods. Every big, destructive freshet is an argument in favor of flood control! How soon does Europe forget the terrible lessons of the World War! How quickly arealliances made which may be the basis of another great struggle, a few years hence! Former President Wilson has done the public a disfavor by starting Senator Reed upon a talkfest. That is an inflection which the newspaper reader should not be called upon to bear. This country is making a costly mistake to permit floods to run wild. Flood losses will be greater and great FREAK PERFORMANCES IN AIR ARE DEADLY Death of a young aerial cadet at Sacramento, in giving an exhibition of daredevil feats in the air, focuses attention upon this practice of doing "stunts" in airships which invite tragedies and which, in many instances, come to tragic end. The public approaches a reasonable degree of daring. But nobody, except the morbid wants files to risk their lives in feats which manifestly are extra-hazardous. The person who cannot get a thrill unless somebody is killed or mangled in too-daring exhibitions does not deserve to have a thrill. These super-perilious performances should be discouraged everywhere. They not only endanger the person who engages in the freak feats, but oftentimes they imperil spectators. Furthermore,the morbid craving for excitement of this kind should be discouraged, particularly in the young. It has a demoralizing effect. Life is too sacred to be put up and auctioned off at so much money to sate the appetite of the maudlin for sensationalism and thrills. It required courage to pioneer California. It requires courage—but of another sort—to shoulder the mighty moral,political and economic responsibilities of today.Each generation has its own conditions and ways and means of testing men's souls. These are as brave days,in a different way,as were the days of the pioneers. WISE AND WITTY Wisdom consists in keeping your ignorance from breaking out. The reason money is so valuable is because so many folks have none. A good manager is one who can take a little and do a lot with it.

Then he took his gaudit on a stump in How soon does Europe forget the terrible lessons of the World War! How quickly arealliances made which may be the basis of another great struggle, a few years hence! Former President Wilson has done the public a disfavor by starting Senator Reed upon a talkfest. That is an inflection which the newspaper reader should not be called upon to bear. This country is making a costly mistake to permit floods to run wild. Flood losses will be greater and greater as population increases. The most economical thing to do is to control flood waters scientifically. Efficiency in government is another name for honesty in government. No one is strictly honest in a governmental position unless he is efficient to the full measure of his capabilities. Take your politics seriously, but not dogmatically. There is some good in the political party to which you are opposed, as well as in the one which you support. Naturally, you think there is more good in the principles, policies and methods of the party which you support—if you did not think so, you would not support it. It is well to remember, however, that there are men and women of intelligence and integrity in all political parties and that there is good in all parties. Choosing one's party is a question of relativity—and the intelligent person makes choice of the party which he or she esteems most highly as compared with the others. WISE AND WITTY Wisdom consists in keeping your ignorance from breaking out. The reason money is so valuable is because so many folks have none. A good manager is one who can take a little and do a lot with it. The final test of sincerity is the "lump in the throat." Growth stops the instant you stop working. "Hunches" are not so trustworthy as facts. INSUBSTANTIALITIES A misty moonlit sky, on moonlit sea, A soul moonlit, the misty soul of me, And nothing else but a sight of misty air A firefly like a drop of phosphor-dew Hung on the humid dimness—then, not there.

A world of mist distilled from moonlit space And insubstantial save to an earthless soul That in moonlight can find a biding place.—Cale Youg Rice.

SERVED HIM RIGHT One young Topeka sport has been taught his lesson. He took a young lady out in the country driving. His ardent love making disgusted her. She accidently dropped her handkerchief out of the car. He got out to get it. She slid over in the driver's seat, stepped on the gas and drove back to town, leaving the car in front of his home. About two hours later the young sport trudged into town. He had to walk six miles.—Topeka Capital. A fool with judges, amongst fools a judge.—Cowper. "What makes you so sleepy around the office?" I asked of the Office Grouch. "It's my sense of duty," he answered, suppressing a yawn. "You see I lie awake too much at night thinking about my work." Why should not conscience have vacation. As well as other courts o' the nation?—Butler. Hugh Fullerton says that some folks will believe anything about you as long as it is the worst. That's what some people think about Hugh as a baseball prophet. BEST INJUN STORY In early Arizona days help on ranches was scarce. One man, about to despair, was advised to employ Indians. "I've tried 'em," he said. "They start working, and when I go around to see what they've done, they're all sound asleep." "I can make Indians work," said the other, "Hire me as overseer." He was hired forthwith. The first morning he took the Indians out to work, the new overseer said: "My time is too valuable for me to sit around here and watch you. But I shall leave my eye to guard you while I go fishing." Then he took his glass eye out and laid it on a stump in sight of the abo- Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SUITABLE DRESS FOR WOMEN—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, to whom one writer refers as "probably our best dressed best seller," has been shopping in New York and sends out a few ideas on dress to her interested sisters far and near. Among them are these observations: "The keynote of the year's clothes is femininity, and they are more covering than they were last year. "No woman over 30 should wear the knee-length skirt, for the mature leg is not beautiful. "Wearing Knickerbockers in the city seems to me an affectation, not the ideal of dress. "A woman is well dressed when she can stand the sharpest scrutiny, but nobody turns to look." Mrs. Rinehart herself is the fastest possible removed from the old ideas of frowsiness and ill-taste in the artistic or literary woman. Also, she is possessed of fine common sense and what she says about clothes safely may be passed along as good advice. "Why is the Flapper always flapping about?" somebody asked a little while ago. Someone else replied promptly, "Probably she is out flapping after her mother." Mrs. Rinehart has sounded the same note, only in a different key. YORK LETTER One never knows how close at hand genius may be. I was shown a remarkable novelty in the amateur radio world today, by its inventor, Frank L. Copeman. It is the smallest radio receiving apparatus in existence, a neat pocket-size, that tips the scales gently at three ounces, and stands on one's desk to the miniature height of one and one-half inches, with a diameter of one inch. It means that any woman can carry it about in her pocketbook and cut it in to listen to a concert whenever she feels inclined. And Frank, it happens, is an elevator boy in our building who has carried me hundreds of times to my office floor without my ever suspecting he womuch more he knew than I! He explained it to me but I am not even intelligent enough to understand the explanation very well. Anyhow, I gathered that the secret of its small size lies in the compact winding of the wire coil. A tiny telephone receiver forms the base of the instrument, and a set of metal contacts or taps with a crystal receiver and revolving tuning knob gives a remarkable range now he will not be content until he goes across the northern extremity of the earth's axis. If the warm weather of last week had continued it would have cost the florists of this city $1,000,000 in Easter-flowers, according to the big flower concerns here. Now hot-house flowers must be used instead of those from the gardens. A dog's devotion came close to delaying the departure of a big French timer the other day. It was a German police dog, who went down to say goodbye to his owner, Mrs. Mary Stephens, of 152 East 79th street. When the whistle blew the final "all ashore," he refused to leave his mistress and tugged strongly on his leash that it required the united efforts of several men to drag him down the plank. Even when safely brought to the pier, it was all they could do to prevent him from jumping into the East River and following the ship. BEGIN IMPROVEMENT to despair, was advised to employ Indians, "I've tried 'em," he said. "They start working, and when I go around to see what they've done, they're all sound asleep." "I can make Indians work," said the other, "Hire me as overseer." He was hired forthwith. The first morning he took the Indians out to work, the new overseer said: "My time is too valuable for me to sit around here and watch you. But I shall leave my eye to guard you while I go fishing." Then he took his glass eye out and laid it on a stump in sight of the aborigines, who immediately fell to work and distinguished themselves for quantity of production. This lasted several days, and the Indians were becoming more skeletons from overwork, when one day a wise brave had a thought—he took an old tomato can and covered the eye with it. Then all the Indians went to sleep, and the spell was broken. Nothing is more friendly to a man than a friend in need.—Plautus. The Office Grouch says that home life isn't what it is cracked up to be. "For instance," sighs the Grouch, "we always have to put the cat out, but the fire goes out of its own accord." Boston university proposes to have a college course for bellhops—after which they will doubtless say, "I thank you in token of my sincere appreciation," instead of "Tanks for de dime."—Contributed. Miss Flossie Fernfrill of Fullerton, says that the reason she thinks she would make a good wife is because she would let him eat down town just as often as he wanted to. LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WE KNOW Of the Stillmans a biographer might write; And they were married and spent the rest of their lives in the divorce court.—Courier-Journal. Dear Town in Review: Keep up the limericks. This may help: Our domestic was called Mary Ann. And she came from the County Cavan. To lessen her toll She lit fires with oil. Now we miss her, and also the can.—G. C. D. As a vessel is known by the sound, whether it be cracked or not, so men are browed, by their speeches, whether they be wise or foolish.—Demos-these. GOOD FEELING A lovely old feeling to feel that you've done Something each day to bring some one the sun. A lovely old feeling to feel that your heart Has striven all day to give daughter a start.

And Frank, it happens, is an elevator boy in our building who has carried me hundreds of times to my office floor without my ever suspecting ho wmuch more he knew than 1! He explained it to me but I am not even intelligent enough to understand the explanation very well. Anyhow, I gathered that the secret of its small size lies in the compact winding of the wire coil. A tiny telephone receiver forms the base of the instrument, and a set of metal contacts or taps with a crystal receiver and revolving tuning knob gives a remarkable range of tuning. Every once in in a while, one comes across an exhibition representing the work of a single artist which gives inspiration for fascinating interior decorating. Recently, I saw one of silk paintings, hooked rugs, and brush drawings at such an exhibition. The paintings were on silk in the form of curtains and opened up all sorts of delightful possibilities for an apartment. After all the press-agenting of the aristocratic cavaliers who were devoted to the Dolly sisters while they were in London, it has surprised some of the Broadwayites to note the evident pride they have taken in the frequent times that Jack Dempsey has called for them at the Palace Theatre during their engagement here to take them to dinner. He seemed proud of them on these occasions, and they just as proud of him. It's quite all right, of course, but Jack is NOT a polished aristocrat, however much of a champion in his own world. Watch out for more cyclones and whirlwinds and temperamental freaks of the air. With grand opera singers and other high-strung artists singing and playing for the radio, the air is being surcharged with temperature, and is likely to break out any time into a bit of temperament of its own. Why should men seek, through hardships and peril, to reach 90 degrees north latitude, where the thermometer registers 90 degrees—more or less—below zero? Captain Amundsen has been to the South Pole and To the Good Citizens of Buena Park and Vicinity: I take pleasure in making known to you through the columns of this paper, that the reports that are being circulated presumably by office seekers against Mrs. Hattie A. Allen, stating that she is selling to the City of Fullerton the land North of and adjoining Buena Park, for sewage disposal is wholly untrue; in the first place the land mentioned is not for sale and cannot be sold until the land lease is terminated which is two years yet. An elaborate display of Wonderland—Orange and effects in development. The annals of Anahe Northern Orange County short but stirring. Anahe giant among comm Orange County a land ounity and achieve flowers, sunshine, orange GOOD FEELING A lovely old feeling to feel that you've done Something each day to bring some one the sun. A lovely old feeling to feel that your heart Has striven all day to give daughter a start. A lovely old feeling to have done what you could. For somebody's comfort and gladness and good. A lovely old feeling to feel that you've borne To somebody's darkness a glimpse of the morn. A lovely old feeling to feel that you care. Enough to kneel down and thank God in a prayer.—Baltimore Sun. Complaint against the thankless scissors hounds is voiced by the Wilmington, O., News-Journal, as follows: "One of the main difficulties we have in picking up a newspaper to find some original ideas for paragraphs is that we are apt to stumble on to some honest-to-goodness ones of our own that are being run with somebody else's name signed to them" Full many a line I've writ, Full many a yarn I've spun. And at the end it's good to hear Somebody say "Well done!" Buena Park and Vicinity: I take pleasure in making known to you through the columns of this paper, that the reports that are being circulated presumably by office seekers against Mrs. Hattie A. Allen, stating that she is selling to the City of Fullerton the land North of and adjoining Buena Park, for sewage disposal is wholly untrue, in the first place the land mentioned is not for sale and cannot be sold until the land lease is terminated which is two years yet. Again the city of Fullerton has never made any demands for this land for sewage or other purposes so the offenders who are circulating such malicious lies against Mrs. Allen's good business and name must stop at once. If you want to incorporate Buena Park, go after it in a clean way and do not try to scare the people into incorporating to keep out Sewage, for the city of Fullerton would not want water soaked doby land for such purpose. And the good name and reputation of Mrs. Allen is too high for such efforts. She has more property on East Ninth Street than in any other part of town and such a step would depreciate her property more than any one else. Therefore I beg of you to investigate this matter by going to the City councilman's books of the city of Fullerton and see if such action has been taken. Signed by HATTIE A. ALLEN.

Fourteen Points you ought to know! DO YOU KNOW? 1. That the Y. M. C. A. was the first to enlist for service in France? 2. That at the urgent request of the President it called 8000 men and women to give up good positions and "follow the boys" at nominal wages? 3. That these servants of the A. E. F. went "over there" to endure hardship, hazard their lives, and jeopardise their livings to "do their bit?" 4. Do you know that 262 were killed or wounded at the front? and that 268 of them were cited for bravery under fire? 5. That they served 1500 huts, while only 70 huts were served by other welfare agencies? 6. That they furnished 7850 workers to 544 furnished by other welfare societies? 7. That they suffer unjust and shameful criticism and "carry on" with smiling faces? 8. That they became the selling agents of the government at General Pershing's request, and took over the Canteen and yet gave away more supplies than all others combined? 9. That they sold supplies at cost with price lists posted and censored by Army officers? 10. That they sold free tobacco, due to the mistake of the Army Canvasser, and for which the Canteen apologized and accepted responsibility in writing? 11. That they were investigated by the War Department no less than twice at their own request, and vindicated in writing and most highly commended by Gen. Pershing? 12. That they served millions of "dough-boys" in war camps in this country with universal appreciation and practically no criticism. 13. That the two embezzlers and a comparatively small number of inefficients were summarily dealt with as soon as discovered? 14. That the Anaheim Y. M. C. A. property on So. Philadelphia street, consisting of 145 feet by 149½ feet is absolutely free of debt? That the swimming pool, 20 feet by 60 feet, is as large or larger than nine-tenths of the "Y" swimming pools in the country? And the buildings can be made a real "Y" club house, and the grounds an athletic field? That any criticism of the "Y" overseas has little or nothing to do with the campaign for $4500:00 a year annually for three years for a Y. M. C. A. secretary for Anaheim to supervise and promote a program with this equipment as a center, and that this fund will be expended for the boys and young men of your community and by men whom you know and trust?
