Every gallant man takes his hat off to the Nineteenth Amendment. A comfortable savings account is "a friend in need" and "a friend indeed." The beauty about living in California is, that one feels that one really is living. Carefulness prevents forest fires; carelessness breeds them. Resolve today to be a fire-preventer. America exemplifies the acme of wisdom in eschewing political alliances with any nation or group of nations. The surest way to prevent crime in future is so to train and influence boys and girls that they will abhor criminality. Advocate and support public improvements. Keep this community abreast the progressive localities of the state. There is one stock that yields handsomely on the investment—good will. Its dividends are paid frequently in satisfaction. They may not get radio into politics this year, but they probably will get a great deal of interest in a summer touring of California is sure to become the popular thing with hundreds and thousands of residents of other states. Low railroad rates from the East undoubtedly will bring a great many to California this summer—many of them coming for the first time. There is no valid climatic reason why California should not have tour well as during the winter. But the mildness of the summer climate here is not so widely known as is the mildness of the winters. Railroads are joining with promotion organizations in broadcasting the attractiveness and delightfulness of California summers, particularly near the mountains and the seashore. The time is near when tourists will be coming to California every month in the year. They will enjoy it and many will come again and again, by auto and by airship. GENOA CONFERENCE MAY SUCCEED YET The Genoa conference is not wrecked. The German-Russian treaty gave it a great shock and threatened disaster. But the calming, reassuring tact of Premier Lloyd George saved the day. With characteristic display of quick wit and resourcefulness, denoting genius, Mr. Lloyd George marshaled the forces which are striving to make the conference a real success, and when the situation seemed darkest, radiant reassurance came from the audacious British prime minister. He spoke confidently of the success of the conference and prophesied that it would result in leaguing the nations of Europe in a Town in The man with most hot time. When your sins will wait for you.

Hanging would hail Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying CRIMINALS OUTWIT POLICE—Pittsburgh Leader After foolishly and fruitlessly denying for a couple of years that an unusual number of crimes are being committed, officials of New York City make open confession. The explanation now is that the depredations that have terrified the residents and made the best detectives in the world look like a lot of bush leaguers are in the work of "a band of superrooks." The police are so far outclassed that the only excuse they can think of is to charge the operations to something "superior." The everyday definition of "superior" anything is efficiency. Under some conditions the "super" business is made more glaring by simply comparison. It is a demonstration in relativity. Harry Greb, for instance, has made many a clever boxer appear dull and slow. The real reason was not the other boxer's slowness and lack of skill, but Harry's speed. But it is not a "super" condition. It is just that one man knows how so much better than the other.

With characteristic display of quick wit and resourcefulness, denoting genius, Mr. Lloyd George marshaled the forces which are striving to make the conference a real success, and when the situation seemed darkest, radiant reassurance came from the audacious British prime minister. He spoke confidently of the success of the conference and prophesied that it would result in leaguing the nations of Europe in a solemn compact not to wage aggressive war upon each other. The leadership of Mr. Lloyd George gives substantial hope that an otherwise hopeless situation may pass and that considerable good yet may come from the Genoa meet. The doctrine of candid friendship to foster peace in Europe, is taking hold at Genoa, reports indicate. In the senate will flow streams of words in tariff discussions. But this is a free country. No one, except the public printer and proofreader, have to read those words. Great statesmenhip could rescue the Genoa conference from disastrous failure. It will soon be demonstrated whether or not this brand of statesmanship is in the conference. If there is a statesman in all Europe who can do it, Premier Lloyd George can. He is putting forth the effort of his life in this connection. It is to be hoped that he succeeds, and that Europe may be bound together by peace-conserving agreement, as Mr. Lloyd George proposes.

The real reason was not the other boxer's slowness and lack of skill, but Harry's speed. But it is not a "super" condition. It is just that one man knows how so much better than the other. In the case of the newly discovered "super-crooks" in New York, the explanation is that the bandits know their business so much better than the police know theirs, plus the handicap which the thief always has over the officers of the law. The sporting analogy that partly illus- The police of New York and all the large cities are simply "up against" a new system which they know nothing about. All their old training is useless. It doesn't match with the circumstances to be faced every day. The old-fashioned bandit has about disappeared. He has probably perished through starvation and shame at his clumsy methods and lack of success. In his place is a mere boy who until recently had been a good young citizen. He has noticed how the old line bandit did things and how easily he was captured. He noticed also how the old-fashioned police trained worked out. So the modern robber just throws away the blundering system of the old-time bandit, puts a little brain into the job and has the police "lost at sea." But it is all natural, not "super."

That is wrong. The author of this saying was Hippocrates, famous Greek physician. About 230 years ago he wrote: "If you feed a cold' you'll have to starve a fever." Some of the original words have fallen by the wayside. The fact that the letter P stands for Poets and Politicians would damn it beyond hope were it not that it also stands for pie. Political candidates in Orange-co. this fall will be a great deal like watches. It will depend on their works whether they run well. Two good ups: Keep up. Shut up.

Hanging would have been better. NEW YORK, April 27.—It is a romantic world, after all—once in a while. And telephone operators in New York hotels are expecting it around every corner these days. Hasn't it just proved itself on one of their colleagues? Six weeks ago a wealthy young Mexican arrived here on business and took an expensive suite at a hotel. A few hours later he was knocked over by an automobile and broke a leg. He insisted on being taken to his hoted instead of to a hospital and there he was installed with nurses and attendants. He was confined to his room for five weeks. As soon as he was able he began to carry on his business affairs by telephone. He discovered that an efficient person with an almost amazing sweet voice was attending to his calls. By the end of two weeks the invalid and the voice were on very friendly terms. When he was at last able to leave his room, he told his brother that he wanted to go first down to the telephone switchboard. "I want to see the girl there," he explained. "Oh, by the way, I am going to marry her." "Great heavens, what's she like?" the brother asked. "I haven't seen her yet, but we've fixed it all over the 'phone." And now the couple have left for Mexico City. We have been returning to earth, figuratively, to get back something of our youth, for a good many years. That's what we do when we take up golf or go pliening. But now we are doing it quite literally, indeed. Mud masks are the latest thing in the youth and beauty-bringing line. The New York woman who discovers a new wrinkle in her face doesn't worry about it these days. She trots herself off to her favorite beauty-doctor, if her favorite happens to be exceedingly up-to-date, and his 'mud' put upon it. It isn't quite the kind of mud that you dig out of the garden, but it is a real, natural mud, just the same, and the youth-seekers declare it does the work. "I have much to 'clay' these days as to creams and lotions. After all, beauty and youth are important in everyday happiness so why not applaud the people that help us to keep them? American plays are going to London in at least as great numbers as English plays have been coming over here in the past. When A. H. Woods sailed the other day, he is said to have taken with him 24 manuscripts of plays, which have already been produced herd and which he will place there. "I will sell them in London to pay the expenses of my trip, at any rate," he said. The much beloved Mrs. Thomas Whiffen has arrived here from her home in Virginia to play a farewell engagement in "The Advertising of Kate," Annie Nathan Meyer's comedy, which Lee Kugel will present within a few weeks. Police attached to an up-own station are full-fledged members of the Order of Goat, following a raid the other night on a crap game at 260 East 151st-st. The goat stood guard over the room and became active when the patrolmen entered. He scored a quick and easy victory over the two cops, but a telephone call brought reserves with ropes, and the goat and 12 gamblers were brought to the station. Nowhere in the city has the radio craze taken hold of the population as it has down on the lower East Side, in the foreign district. They are radio mad down there. The very clotheslines are being moved from the tops of tenements to make room for the aerials. At last America has come within the reach of the immigrant—an America that is sociable and pleasant. And noisy! Most of the instruments have amplifiers, and they are run full tilt, neck and neck against the radio across the court or in the flat upstairs. Neighbors who get tired of hearing them start the jam. Two good ups: Keep up. Shut up. Anaheimers who have loaned books and never seen "hide nor hair of 'em again" will rejoice in this dispatch from Geneva, Switzerland: "A book borrower in this city, who failed to return books, has been jailed." Hanging would have been better. THEY ARE ALL LISTED BELOW The following is a full list of businesses that have been able to succeed without advertising: Speaking again of the good old days, an old-timer writes that the following prices prevailed in southern Ohio in 1825: - Eggs—Four cents per dozen. - Butter—Eight cents per pound. - Bacon—Six cents per pound. - Whiskey—Twenty-five cents per gallon. Great truths are portions of the soul of man; Great souls are portions of eternity. A court has ruled that it is no crime to defraud a bootlegger. The question, to my mind, is how in the diekens are you going to defraud one? They always demand cash in advance, darn 'em!

Dear Town in Review: Here is the difference betwn a "salsman" and an "order taker," as defined by a sales representative of a local firm: A salesman may be either single or married—an order taker is always a man with a wife. —Ku Klux. That's right, Walter, nearly all his life the average man is either running after or away from something. Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art.—Cervantes.

Neighbors who get tired of hearing them start the jazziest of their phonograph records in opposition. The always strident and clattering noise of the city and especially of its tenement district has been raised to the nth power by the radio and phonograph.

Medbury Times are changing; chaperones are coming back into style. There is a great demand for deaf, dumb and blind ones. When a guy goes out with his girl, he likes to be alone. Chaperones are like small brothers; you can speak more freely without them. If you do have to have an escort when you take your girl to the theatre, buy one of the seats in the gallery. One guy called on a dame, and when he saw the chaperone, left the dame at home and took the chaperone. The girl had to be home by eleven but the chaperone could stay out till one. But most chaperones are homely and this is the only way they get a chance to go out. Chaperones are the reason so many girls get taken home on the street car. If you go to supper the escort has to go along with you. She doesn't eat any more than your girl; it only seems like it. Two is company, but a chaperone makes it a corporation. You can't even propose to a girl alone. One cross-eyed guy proposed to his girl and the chaperone accepted him. And just because he was cross-eyed he got sued for breach of promise. He proposed where he was looking, but he didn't look where he was proposing. One mother even hired a mind-reading chaperone for her. VISIONS I still have visions of the golden days And of the paths we wandered side by side. Forgetting all save beauty and the tide Of love that joined us in immortal ways As it joined olden lovers whom men praise In that they loved so wholly, and took pride In loving thus, and let the world deride. If so it would, what heart to heart betrays. The loveliness that it was ours to see May not be pictured, for all colors blent As in some disembodied ravishment That to us was a visual harmony; And so, as though through memory's lifted haze I still have visions of the golden days. —Clinton Scollard. WISE AND WITTY Court attendance is supplied by two classes — those who go and those who are taken. The best living is the one you work for. Hired girls are spoiled when you call them "servants." A skin-deep education is at the bottom of many a failure. If you want things to come your way, go out and fetch them in. Eventually you have to do what your instinct told you to do in the first place. A son is better off when he inherits more of the old man's brains and less of his money. It is often difficult to decide whether a man is a genius or just a plain "nut." You can't even propose to a girl alone. One cross-eyed guy proposed to his girl and the chaperone accepted him. And just because he was cross-eyed he got sued for breach of promise. He proposed where he was looking, but he didn't look where he was proposing. One mother even hired a mind-reading chaperone for her daughter. It's getting so that a fellow can't even keep his thoughts to himself. He can't even have any privacy when he's thinking. If this chaperone had been a good mind reader, she'd have quit after she read his mind the first time. Pretty soon we'll have to speak in one language and think in another. But, no doubt, there are chaperons at a corporation. A skin-deep education is at the bottom of many a failure. If you want things to come your way, go out and fetch them in. Eventually you have to do what your instinct told you to do in the first place. A son is better off when he inherits more of the old man's brains and less of his money. It is often difficult to decide whether a man is a genius or just a plain "nut." The size of a woman has nothing to do with her ability to talk. The consoling thing about reading advertisements is that nobody gets killed, divorced or pinched for boot-legging. ones who listen in all tongues. The best way out of it is to do your own courting in a boiler factory and then everybody for himself. Have ZEROLENE is thecient lubricant made for modern automobile engine. Are possible to make a oil than ZEROLENE company would make it." President of the Standard Oil Company (California), author of the statement quoted above, is right in believing that Zerolene is the best motor oil made. The lubrication engineers of this company have proved it repeatedly by means thousands of dynamometer and road tests of Zerolene competing oils. The reasons for Zerolene's superiority are: First, that the Standard Oil Company (California) possesses resources of crude oil and of manufacturing equipment and personnel that are unsurpassed in the entire petroleum industry. Second, that the engineers and chemists of this company have, at the beginning, been given carte blanche to make full use of these exceptional resources, and to spend all the time and money needed to develop a lubricant ideally suited to the needs of the modern internal combustion engine. The President's request, we are undertaking to tell the historians of the Pacific Coast the story of Zerolene. We will do this by means of a series of signed statements in public press. These statements will set forth in plain language the requirements of an efficient motor lubricant, and detailed reasons why Zerolene meets these requirements perfectly.
