DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS And he who's doomed o'er waves to roam, Or wander on a foreign strand, Will sigh whene'er he thinks of home, And better love his native land. —William Leggett. Europe should put more reliance in its peace-promoting statesmen and less in its militarists. There is an average of one death per day from traffic accidents in Los Angeles. Entirely too ghastly. A grade-crossing accident near Sanford cost one life and injured two severely. The only safe grade-crossing is the one that is abolished. The civil strife in China is ominous. It may lead to a serious international complications, akin to the Boxer troubles of a quarter of a century ago. Europe is talking and hating in terms of war, when it should be talking peace and exerting all its powers to preserve the peace. After the grim lessons of the World War so soon to be forgotten or to go unheeded? America's voice should always be for peace with honor and justice. America has a peace-dove voice as to this. But it stands for honorable peace and grimly aggestructions, injustices and dishonorable practices among nations. The law is adequate to the needs of society in preserving justice, maintaining order and sustaining safety. If its machinery becomes somewhat crippled and ineffective at times, the remedy is not to resort to violent methods outside the law but CARELESS SMOKING IS BIG FOREST MENACE The careless smoker is charged with starting 273 fires in national forest reserves, in California, during the year 1921. This is 27 per cent of all the man-caused forest fires in the state. Many of these fires, forestry officials say, were started by hunters, fishermen and others who were off the beaten trails and in places difficult of access. These blazes were hard to locate and extinguish. Thirty-four persons, accused of careless smoking in the forest reserves, were prosecuted legally. This form of recklessness cannot be condemned too strongly. It comes from men who usually are rated as careful, responsible citizens. Because the forest reserves are used by so many hunters and fishermen and those who are in quest of other forms of pleasure, many of whom are smokers, this menace well may be regarded with apprehension by the guardians of the national forests. Perhaps an intensive campaign of education may induce many to be careful. But should this species of recklessness persist the forestry authorities may be compelled to prohibit smoking altogether by those who go about in the reserves. This should not be necessary. All who use the forest reserves should be extremely careful with fire and should co-operate with the rangers in preventing fire losses. CHINA IS RENT WITH BIG CIVIL CONFLICT China is in the grip of real war. Civil strife in that ancient land has taken on such proportions as to be rated as a war of the first magnitude. It is a war without tenable excuse. It is a clashing of ambitions, and has no more merit than had the various and sundry "revolutions" in Mexico during the last few years.

America's voice should always be for peace with honor and justice. America has a peace-dove voice as to this. But it stands for honorable peace and grimly aggestructions, injustices and dishonorable practices among nations. The law is adequate to the needs of society in preserving justice, maintaining order and sustaining safety. If its machinery becomes somewhat crippled and ineffective at times, the remedy is not to resort to violent methods outside the law, but to strengthen the law's machinery—to make its processes more effective. Reform legal procedure by lawful methods. This being Postal Improvement Week, it is well for each and all to study the situation over and to contemplate what can be done toward aiding the faithful postal employees in improving the service. There is correct addressing of mail matter and legible writing, for example; and there is the matter of posting letters early in the day—as early as possible. These things help. One reason why the country is showing improvement economically is that the farmer is in better circumstances. Experts who have investigated the agricultural situation thoroughly are agreed that there has been great improvement within the last few months, with the tide still running strongly in the farmers' favor. When the farmer thrives, the whole country feels the reflex.

Of full payment at maturity there never has been any doubt. With the Government borrowing money at 3½ per cent on short term loans, it is altogether probable that the long term issues bearing 4-1-4 per cent interest, will go considerably above par during the not distant future. The one regrettable feature is that so many of the small holders of the bonds were, for one reason or another, compelled to sell out when the quotations were below $90. This represents a loss which, to many, was a real hardship. To say this was their contribution to the winning of the war does not equate matters in the least. They bought in all good faith and assurance, and to return them perhaps only $82 on their $100 was entirely right, no matter how justifiable or unpreventable from the legal or financial standpoint. The rise in the price of bonds is tribute to the stability and innate soundness of the credit of the Government of the United States. For that, in view of the financingills which have overtaken most of the other treasuries of the world, a can be thankful. NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, May 5—Just think of making three hundred different kinds of noises for a living! Isn't it a frightful sounding life? But a man who does it doesn't seem disturbed at all by his occupation. H. Manne is his name and he works in a little laboratory down in the orchestra pit of a local motion picture theatre. Noises, inspiring, unearthly, and comic proceed from that corner. Drums that crack as the villains die from the pistol of the righteous hero; anvil choruses—oh, everything! Mr. Mahnne carries a full line of assorted noises. Hardly anything can happen that he can't supply the proper crash or whine for. Ranged about him and within arm-stretch of his chair, they stand or hang on the floor; whistles that cluck like ducks as well as whistles that shriek like banghoes; a sounding box that clicks like a telegraph—as I said, EVERYTHING that belongs to the world of noises in this noisy age of a noisy world. And he rejoices in the other day that more than 25,000 permits to carry pistols has been granted during the crime wave probably has considerable to do with it. The most interesting thing is the great proportion of customers in the pistol departments of the stores who are women. They usually insist upon a small pistol that can be carried comfortably in a handbag. So don't shove too violently against some dale looking woman who happens to get in your way rushing for the subway. The world loves a Cinderella. It probably the most universal note in human nature. That is why the Brooklyn horse show had such an exceptionally successful day. Winnow won the big sweepsteakes,, considered the event of the evening. Winnow is a Cinderella. She was picked up on an auction block for a few dollars by some discerning person and bloomed out into a beauty. Please meet C. Sharp Minor, who performs on an organ in a Los Angeles movie theatre. Please meet him again. That name is worth a couple of introductions. A LITTLE BOOST FOR THE DOCTOR He was shot in the pit of the stomach at 8 o'clock Sunday night by Ave. Lee, Dr. Austin and Vice operated upon him, and, strange as it might seem, it is said he has a chance of recovery.—Benton, Ill., News. I know a man in this town who always has a chip on his shoulder. He wants to be a good fellow, but doesn't seem to know how. He is overly sensitive and just a little too suspicious of others. If there was anything I could do to change his disposition and help him along in life, I'd do it, gladly, but I'm afraid the task is impossible. Nature handed him a raw deal. He isn't really to blame, but is so constituted that the rest of us can't help blaming him. He's a poor, ordinary misfit, who makes himself miserable and fails to contributed to others' joy in life. Poor old chap! Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transcient.—Goethe. SMILES And, after all, what does it matter. The wee things that bother us so? For the sun shines high in the heavens. Where mean little things can't go, And the smiles of those that love us Reflect its afterglow! —Kansas City Star. If you would eliminate all the vanity in this town, the town wouldn't be much to look at. It is only the first steps which cost.—Du Defrand. AN EGG WITH A HISTORY The bachelor had bought two new-laid eggs for the next morning's breakfast, and when he got home with them he noticed some writing on the shell of one of them. Of course, he read what the thing had to say. It ran like this: "I am a farmer's daughter, 17 years of age, blonde hair and brown eyes, height and weight just about right, and complexion the same. If this should meet the eye of some young man who desires to wed a merry but industrious country girl let him communicate with—and then followed the merry country girl's name and address. Well, the young man was so pleased that he rushed off and telegraphed to the girl. He got her answer next morning. She wired: The growth of the co-operative idea has never been better illustrated than in the recent movement for Commonwealth Chapters of the Commonwealth Club, which started here is spreading all over the country. In Springfield, Mass., the Chapter has more than 200 members and is headed by George A. Bacon, a prominent lawyer there. Other cities through New England are forming Chapters and it is expected that there will be scores of them scattered all over the country before the end of the year. The Chapters are local units of the Commonwealth Club, which is part of the Hotel Commonwealth now building here. The chairman of each Chapter will be a delegate to attend all meetings of the Commonwealth Club in New York City, and at these meetings all questions of policy, such as the fixing of rates at the hotel, will be decided. This hotel will have 2500 rooms and the most modern accommodations, including a complete equipment of radio telephone. A performance of understudies: That is something new in the theoretical world. Through long sessions, hopeful understudies hang about the dressing rooms or the curtain's edge, cheerful in the thought that the leading woman may stumble on a crack in the floor and break her neck or that the leading man may be blackjacked just outside the stage entrance. But those things so reatey happen! The Shuberts have sympathetically decided to give the whole corps of understudies a chance at onep and put them on in a single performance. It is a professional performance of "The Rose of Stamboul" to be given at the Century Theatre, with the whole cast drawn from the understudies. Fancy having such a enhance with an audience wholly composed of other actors and actresses to play for! Most conspicuous in New York sporting stores today is the counter given over to firearms. The "general stores" in Western towns made no more a feature of them than do our on the avenues. The statement at police headquartering woman who happens to get in your way rushing for the subway.

Winnow won the big sweepstakes,, considered ed the event of the evening. Winnow is a Cinderella. She was picked up on an auction block for a few dollars by some discerning person and bloomed out into a beauty. The Flame Queen came to New York recently, but was deported unseen. The Flames Queen is not a new dancer but one of the most beautiful and largest opals that ever came to light. It was found in Australia and was brought here by Kellecy I. Newman, its owner, for exhibition purposes. As large as a hen's egg and brilliant colors, it astounded the jewel experts at the Custom House—the only people who got a chance to see it. The officials decided that it spite of its art and educational value, it was still a jewel and could not be brought into this country without paying all the duty which would be demanded if it were to be sold here. So after costing its owner a small fortune in insurance it was taken home to Australia without adding one more heart pang to jewel-lover here.
