Put scientific skill to work to stop the floods. Put floody rivers in the fetters of scientific control. The merit system deserves to continue on its merits. Greatness is oftentimes village-born or country-born. There is no blindness so utter and so dense as that of prejudice and ignorance. Is there enough teaching of good manners to children in the home and in the school? Children, who is Max Oser? Oh, well, if you don't know, your ignorance is excusable. Mark Twain's genial, refreshing humor is a priceless heritage to his countrymen. The political game should be played candidly, squarely, and on the merits of real issues. Ornament highways with shade trees. Make California noted for this species of beautification.

Besides marrying a British nobleman and becoming the mother of six children, she has the distinction of having won the first seat in the House of Commons ever held by a woman. Her career has been one of romantic realism. Lady Astor has her own spicy way of saying and doing things, but she is now a brainless sensationalist. She is a woman of talent and is treated with respect in the House of Commons and her words are given careful consideration when she speaks. In advising American women to participate in politics, Lady Astor gave expression to sentiments which show that she is not a rockless radical. To quote from her talk in New York: "One sex cannot govern alone. One reason why civilization has failed so lamentably is that it has had one-sided government. Don't let us make the mistake of ever allowing that to happen again. I can conceive of nothing worse than a man-governed world, except a woman-governed world, but I can see the combinations of the two going forward and making civilization more worthy of the name of civilization based on Christianity, not force. A civilization based on justice and mercy. I feel men have a greater sense of justice and we of mercy. They must borrow our mercy, and we must use their justice." These epigrams are full of practical "punch" and common sense. They are frightened with sound sentiment. It is this well-balanced view of the sympathetic co-operation of men and women in politics The political game should be played candidly, squarely, and on the merits of real issues. Ornament highways with shade trees. Make California noted for this species of beautification. Break up the Genoa conference in failure and Europe's hope of peace—for the time being, at least,—will be broken. It is not a question of whether or not this country can afford to have good roads; it is a question of whether or not it can afford to have bad roads. "There's no place like home"—provided it be a happy home, where purity and good cheer reign and where there is love and harmony. Homes like this are mighty bulwarks of this Nation. Every riotous outbreak, every instance of unlawful violence, is a mar on the fair face of democracy. Democratic freedom is not license. No one is legally or morally free to indulge in rioting or violence, contrary to law and subversive of public peace and safety. Reports from Washington that substantial economies are being effected in government departments at Washington are exceedingly welcome. This is the kind of news that gratifies the taxpayer. There should be retrenchment in government all along the line, from Washington to every state capital, county seat and city hall. There should be no lowering of standards of governmental efficiency, and there need not be; but there should be a lessening of the cost of government wherever it is possible to effect economies without surrendering proficiency. MINERAL YIELD IS VAST IN CALIFORNIA California's mines yielded treasures worth nearly $245,000,000 during the year 1921. This indicates that mining is not on the wane in this state. There was an increased production of petroleum, gold and silver, as compared with 1920. There was a record yield of petroleum, despite the strike in the oil fields. Gold production shows increase, with the value of the year's output in excess of $15,000,000. Silver, too, went soaring, the production being the greatest of any year except one—1884. Mining is a great and permanent industry in this state. California's mineral treasures are not exhausted, or near exhaustion, by any means. There is much undeveloped mineral land—particularly rich deposits of iron ore which experts say are to be found in certain mountains of Southern California. compare Fisk Premier Tread 30 x 3½—$10.85 Non-Skid Cord 32 x 4 —$30.50 Non-Skid Fabric 30 x 3½—14.85 Non-Skid Cord 32 x 4½—39.00 Extra-Ply Roll-Top 30 x 3½—17.85 Non-Skid Cord 34 x 4½—41.00 Six-Ply Non-Skid Lincher Cord 30 x 3½—17.85 Non-Skid Cord 35 x 5 —51.50 Ply Non-Skid Right Side Cord 30 x 3½—19.85 Flat Tread Cord for Tracks 36 x 6 —77.00 Non-Skid Cord 4 x 4 —27.00 Time (Buy Fisk) TRADE MARK REG.

Accuse not Nature; She hath done her part; NEW YORK, May 3.—If there are any lingering doubts in the minds of this generation as to the wide scope of Women's activities, just let him—for we'll assume it would be a "him"—come to the exhibition to be held here in the near future of the New York League of Business and Professional Women. It is for the purpose of showing what women have done and are doing these past few years in the way of commerce, profession, and industry, and its revelations will be pretty nearly amazing to some of the conservative lookers-on at woman's world. Mining, engineering, road building, plumbing, banking—well, practically every occupation will be represented there. It will be the first exhibition of the kind to have been held in any country. The time is past when we can speak of the bobbed hair "fad". It's like the spot suit "fad" or the "fad" for jade ornaments. That is, it is a matter of several years, maybe a generation, and now, at the time when the sceptics expected it to be well on the wane, it is more popular than at any time in the past. No longer is it confined to motion picture actresses and young school girls. More than half the girls and women I know under the age of 40 seem to have had their hair cut and waved and several years taken off their ages in consequence. Of course straight bobbed hair is pretty bad; but who wears it straight? Just as short skirts made attractive hosiery essential, so has the bob converted everyone to the permanent wave. Mr. Nestle, of 12 East 49th-st, the permanent wave authority of the country, told me the other day that aside from the thousands who have the wave put in by experts, it has become a regular home industry. The permanent wave outfit is parked in the bathroom along with the electric flat-iron and the ice bag. "We have sold over 10,000 outfits for home use in the past year," he said, "and the number is growing every day. Now Comments What Edit THE AMENDMENT DISGUARD A news item appeared in the daily press Saturday to the effect that the Grain Trade Ass'n of the San Francisco cisco C. b.C. had forwarded to President Harding a request to use his influence to induce congress to pass a wine and beer amendment to the Votet Act. As wine and beer constituted about 90 per cent of the volume of the liquor traffic before prohibition, this was tantament to a request upon the president to use his efforts to restore pine-tenths of that which prohibition took away. Chief Justice Taft just before he went on the bench said, in referring to the light wine and beer propaganda, that if it was enacted into law it would "make the Eighteenth Amendment a laughin' stock." The members of the Grain Trade Ass'n of San Francisco are intelligent, and they know that the request will not be considered by the president, because it is ridiculous Why, then, was it sent? The explanation is obvious. San Francisco is the headquarters from which emanates the propaganda against the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. It is the home of the Vineyards Products Protective Ass'n, a corporation formed for the sole purpose of organizing permanently the opposition to that amendment. Grape grower members pa ya fee of $1 an acre when joining, and the same amount annually. Winemaker members pay a cent a gallon on all wines in stock, and the same amount annually on new stocks. Theodore A. Bell is a director of this corporation and is understood to be its representative. The real object of Mr. Bell as shown b y this published speeches and by the statements of the organ of the interests he represents, the California Grape Grower, is to accomplish the defeat of the Wright Anti-Bootlegging Act. But as this merely an enforcement measure to suppress bootlegging, the groups Mr. Bell represents do not dare to allow the campaign to turn on a discussion of the real issue. A camouflage is the urgent need, and being experienced politicians they have... PRETTY NEAR A WHOLE TOILET SET (Marriage license in Georgia paper) Will Combs Myrtle Brush.

Dear Sir: Who remit hereth when the old St. Louis Post-Dispatch printed this one: They were attending a social function, and were at the table. She was in some distress, evidently, from the peculiar way in which she turned and twisted in her chair. He saw this and asked, in a whisper: "Are you sick?" "No," she answered, sweetly, "I've just been vaccinated." He looked her over, at her arms and up and down her back, but could find no trace of the vaccination. "Where were you vaccinated," he asked. "In Boston," she answered, with a blush. The world may have its sorrows, but it holds a lot of joy. Wallace Rice. A man's brain attains its maximum weight at the age of 20 years—provided he has one. BIG GAME A Southern mountainer had come down to the crossroads grocery store to do some shopping. The grocer, an inveterate gossip and the natural news disseminator of the neighborhood, was asking for news. "Nothin' happened up onah way lately," the customer replied. "No weddin's ner fun'rais?" "No." "No sick folks or new babies?" "Nuthin's happened." "No news at all, I reckon," the grocer persisted. "Nuthin' to mention, 'cept you all know Ez Clark.' "Reckon I do, he's kin to my wife's folks. What Ez gone an' done?" "Oh, nuthin'—only las' week he shot a pigger that welched over but who wears it straight? Just as short skirts made attractive hosiery essential, so has the bob converted everyone to the permanent wave.

"We have sold over 10,000 outfits for home use in the past year," he said, "and the number is growing every day. Now that the wave can be put in without any danger of injury to the hair it is becoming an accepted necessity of life." Sheriff Wagner, down on Long Island, is a patient and long-suffering man, but it seems as though fate and his job had been unusually unkind to him these last few days. They forced him to lock up in his jail 900 innocent little chickens, real chickens. Judge Humphrey issued an order ousting Mrs. Bridget Cone, alleged to be a squatter, from property at Richmond Hill, Long Island the other day. Now Mrs. Cone has a flock of chickens, 900 strong, which the judge ordered Sheriff Wagner to take charge of. The sheriff hasn't any place of his own where he can keep them. He mustn't sell them. He mustn't kill them. There was nothing for him to do but put them in jail, so he did it. The "Bronx Express," the new play produced by Mr. and Mrs. Coburn, at the Astor Theatre, is the story of a dream—the dream of a man who wanted to work for beauty rather than for money. It has one remarkably vivid and arresting scene in the Bronx subway train, and there are interesting episodes and recreations throughout. The Coburns are both in the cast. After all the terrible indictments against us as a sex and as a nation for overwhelming amounts of money spent on cosmetics and the like, I feel quite relieved to read the statement made by the manufacturing Perfumers' Ass'n, in convention here. Hadn't you got an idea that just about half our savings—or what we ought to be saving—was being tossed over the counter for rouges and beauty lotions of various kinds? Well it isn't so. Just 75 cents is spent by the average person in one whole year for toilet preparations, perfumeries etc. I should say that is about as modest as could be expected of anybody. We're more given to cleanliness than to the artificial aids to beauty, too. For against that 75c each one spends a dollar a year for soap!
