The incubator does it with its little hatch-it. Prosperity is a state of mind, as well as of material returns. Politics should be public-serving rather than office-seeking. About every line of business except undertaking is improving in California. If we had fewer laws, we would need fewer officials, and there would be fewer taxes to pay. If there were more social justice in the world, there would be less need of charity. If the American farmer thrives, the country thrives. The farmer is a great distributor of prosperity. Baseball is a sport, not a riot. Rowdyism should not be tolerated in connection with the game. California lands should be for American citizens or those who are eligible to become American citizens. Is Peggy Joyce real news? Some sensational papers treat her as though she were the chief item of MR. BEVERIDGE VICTOR IN INDIANA Result of the Republican primary election for United States Senator in Indiana is eliciting national interest. Victory of former Senator Albert J. Beveridge over Senator Harry S. New is accounted for variously, in different quarters. The result is the more significant because of the fact that Senator New is a warm personal friend and supporter of President Harding and is understood to have had the support of the Washington administration in the contest—impliedly, if not openly. Indiana, it should be remembered, is a "doubtful" state. Its voters are very independent and no party or faction can swing them this way or that, at will. Several elements which influence political action entered into the contest. It may be assumed that many Republicans, dissatisfied with the record of Mr. New in the Senate, registered their protest by supporting Mr. Beveridge. There also are factional influences and personal ambitions among Indiana Republicans, and these had weight. At least two potential Presidential candidates figured in this Senatorial contest. The support of former Progressives and progressive Republicans undoubtedly went to Mr. Beveridge, as he has been a progressive among Progressives. Prohibition and the problems of the farmer had bearing, no doubt. And women, participating in a Senatorial primary for the first time in Indiana, also were a factor. What Indiana Republicans have said to the country, in this contest, is what Republicans and Democrats are saying all over the Nation, whenever they articulate at the polls—that there is a spirit of resolute independence among the electorate, warning political parties and leaders that the people cannot be Plates wuz laid 50th weddin' anniver Mrs. Tilford Moots dry officers eatin' Miss Tawney Apple at her post o'duty in' from an auto Sa Town in Ruth Hugg can be dena.'

Is Peggy Joyce real news? Some sensational papers treat her as though she were the chief item of news. Another atrocious feature of that war in China will be the dragging out of a lot of unpronounceable names. Uncle Sam does not hand out official recognition to foreign governments which are undeserving of respect and confidence. California land should be protected against being gobbled up by aliens who are ineligible to become American citizens. If those engaged in the coal-mining industry would keep cooler, the people could keep warmer—which is to say, there would be no strikes. Economic readjustment is being taken out of the future tense, subjunctive mode, and put into the present tense, indicative mode. EUROPE IS BUYING U. S. FOOD-STUFFS It is a "hard-time" period in Central Europe. But there is no lessening of purchases of American foodstuffs. Europe will need large quantities of American wheat for several years to come, in the opinion of Albert B. Dennis, special representative of the Department of Commerce at Washington. Europe's agricultural recovery is slow. The great wheat-growing region of Europe—Russia—instead or exporting wheat to other countries, as it once did, is importing from the United States. The crippled state of European agriculture is the American farmers' opportunity. There will be a brisk market abroad for surplus American foodstuffs for an indefinite period. This situation is bound to have big influence in bringing about restoration of American agricultural conditions to normal. PREPARING TO SCRAP BIG 'WARSHIPS' Vivid reminder of the historic stride taken toward universal peace by the Arms Conference is the report of the board of naval officers appointed to consider ways and means for scrapping American naval vessels under the provisions of the naval - limitation treaty. This board recommends that capital ships to be scrapped be disposed of by sale on the stocks of those under construction, and by sale for junk or sinking by gunfire in the case of completed vessels. Thus is begun a new epoch in human progress toward the permanent pacification of the world. Never before has such thing been done. Never before has such thing been attempted. It marks a phenomenon that is a boon to all mankind. Importance of it will become more and more manifest as time elapses. It should be the forerunner of other limitations of armament and other practical steps for the advancement of peace. Historians will chronicle this achievement as one of the most significant in the whole history of mankind. The ideal attitude for political candidates in this democratic land is to stand for office with sincere purpose to serve the people usefully and acceptably. But when men seek office primarily for emolument or the power that it confers upon them, which power is sought for self-aggrandizement in public service. A married man should always remember that his own relatives are as big boobs in his wife's eyes as are hers in his. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER HER BODY "Fat!"

Henry E. Huntington's formal signing of three deeds only carries out his long announced intention of transferring his magnificent library and art collection to the public. He gives them to California and not the East, because he knows they will be used as effectively and appreciatively there as anywhere in the world. The Pacific Coast thus obtains a collection of books and manuscripts so rich that the time will never come when it will not be a Mecca for bibliophiles and students of English and American literature. In the Huntington collection have been incorporated intact great Old World libraries like the Devonshire Library from Chatsworth House and the Bridgewater Li- Plates wuz laid fer forty at th 50th weddin' anniversary o' Mr. an' Mrs. Tilford Moots, yesterday, th' dry officers eatin' in th' kitchen.

If the nose of Cleopatra had been shorter, the whole face of the world would have changed.—Pascal. Miss Flossie Fernfrill of Fullerton says that there is a man in the house library, dating from Queen Elizabeth's day. It contains the finest treasures of the Hoe, the Britwell Court, the Hut, and other great collections. Since the stripping of Greece for the enrichment of Rome there has never been a removal of literary treasureurs like Mr. Huntington's acquisitions in Europe. Hubert Howe Bancroft's gift of 60-, 000 volumes and 500 manuscripts to the University of California was a gift of historical materials pertaining to the West. The Crocker and other Western art collections are not essentially different from the art galleries growing up in dozens of American cities. But the world finds it a little unexpected to see San Marino, California, endowed with such an array of Caxtons, first editions of Shakespeare, and treasures like the manuscript of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." This feeling of incongruity has no sound basis. The Old World can well spare a part of such possessions to the new and Western scholarship and culture will prove that it has a good title to them. NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, May 5.—Most boys would feel that they had achieved something in taking a trip from New York to Hamburg and return as stowaways. But when they manage to make the trip on a floating zoo, there is something to thrill them all the rest of their lives, however long those lives may be. Harold Conway and Richard Bebhardt, sixteen and eighteen years of age, did just that, and no youths ever shone in a brighter spotlight among their crowd in consequence. On February 23, the boys hid in the hold of the Steamer Wuert temburg, just to steal a ride down the bay. They went to Hamburg, instead. Of course, they were found but the officers decided to bring them Al Jolson's "Bombo" at Jolson's Fifty-ninth street Theater, with a revue which will headline some more familiar and beloved names of a decade or so ago. Jefferson De Angels, Peroy Haswell, Jed Prouty, and Virginia Futrelle are among them. Twelve months of operatic choral training without cost to the student is what the Metropolitan Opera Company is offering this spring to young singers of both sexes of New York and vicinity.

We have with us today, ladies and gentlemen, the "spring is here" male citizen decorated with the sailor straw hat. Some of them look fine, some look finer and others look like well, you tell it. Personally, I never had the nerve to wear a sailor straw hat, but I admire the nerve of the more daring brother who does. Long live the straw hat! Long live the man who wears one! Long live the Anaheim climate. Hooray, hoo-ray! BROTHERS A congressman, the story goes, years ago was far from home and got short of cash. He had a Masonic charm on his watch chain, and noticed that a fellow traveler in the smoker wore a similar charm. He sat down by him and said confidently: "Brother, I am up against it. Lead me $100 till I get home!" His casual travel companion glanced at the charm, looked him over, and finally handed him the hundred, which the congressman promptly returned when he got home. Recently the two men met at a gathering of Masons and recalled the incident, "Say," said the man who lent the money, "when you met me on that train I wasn't a Mason at all. I had found the charm and put it on my chain. You thought I was a Mason, however, and I was ashamed to have you think I wouldn't help a brother in distress. But I wasn't a Mason then." "Just between us," was the congressman's reply, "I wasn't either. I was wearing my father's watch." From the Outlook. First elderly gentleman: "Five uncertainty to return as stow-aways.

On February 23, the boys hid in the hold of the Steamer Wuert temburg, just to steal a ride down the bay. They went to Hamburg, instead. Of course, they were found but the officers decided to bring them home again safely and let them polish brasses all the way. And when the Wuerttenberg's cargo for the return trip proved to be 100 swans 1,600 canaries, one cagle, 400 monkeys, 20 dogs, three bearcats and two elephants, the boys felt that life could offer little more in the line of excitement. Ocean trips are not the only free ones to be had from New York starting points. The Interborough subway, according to figures presented to the Transit Commission, is losing $50 a day by slugs found in the new turntiles, where nickels are expected to repose. There is always romance in the actor who goes through his part for the enjoyment of an audience when he himself is suffering sorrow or pain. An outstanding example of this heroic appeal was given the other day when Fred Walton, clown at the Hippodrome, completed his act during an acute attack of heart trouble and collapsed on leaving the stage. He is fifty years old and his condition was found to be serious. He was taken immediately to the hospital, while the audience was still laughing at his apts. The much quoted cost of living is undoubtedly responsible for a line of business recently developed in this city—that of renting dresses by the day. Evening frocks, of all degrees of elaborateness, tailored suits, velvet afternoon frocks all hang on racks in various little store around town, for which one may pay two dollars a day or so and make an impression of comparative wealth on such occasions as one has that yearning. The amazing thing is that the leading item is wedding dresses. Fancy the life of a rented wedding dress! A new love affair in a gown's life every day! And on Manhattan Island, there are no attics for grandchildren to explore, where wedding dresses are laid away in lavender scented trunks, so it's probably all right and a part of modern efficiency.
