The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $2; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter BEAUTY IS BANEFUL, IF MISUSED Peggy Joyce has filled column after column in the sensational press for a long time. Here is an example of personal beauty and charm abominably misused. And the exploiting of her career and of her notorious "affairs" is an inexcusable and baneful journalistic abuse. Such things are not legitimate news. They are not suitable for reading in clean refined homes. They have balkful influences upon the young and those weak of will and lax in moral standards. The latest appearance of Peggy Joyce in print is a heartless cause of a tragedy. One of her numerous admirers, goaded by jealousy, killed himself. Ethical standards should not become so loose in this and other Christian countries that women of the Peggy Joyce type would be hallowed without protest as social favorites. Nor should all the excoriation be heaped upon Peggy Joyces. Such types of women could not flourish in moral laxity if there were not men who lack in moral quality, and who lavish wealth upon such women, with evil motives. There should be no double standard in such cases. Where there is a Peggy Joyce there are several men whose conduct is defensible. The columns of newspapers should not be filled with nauseous details of these morally repulsive "affairs." BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY ARE REVIVING Revival in business and industry is neither a dream nor a mirage. The Federal Reserve Board report for April shows pronounced increase in activity in many basic lines of industry throughout the country. The metal industries were especially active, including iron, steel and copper, and the automobile trade showed decided gains. There was a brisk demand for building materials which had favorable effect upon the metals and other lines of industry, particularly lumber. There was a notable decrease in the number of unemployed, except where men were voluntarily out or work in strikes. Wholesale and retail trade showed some betterment. The month's showing, on the whole, was gratifyingly good. There is no denying or mistaking the forward trend of business and industry, in general, toward normal. There is no boom, nor is there any Nor is a boom, or any fictitious revival in trade and industry to be desired. Far better to have the slower, but substantial and enduring, betterment, leading toward settled normality. Women, said Luke McLuke, are never satisfied with what Nature gave them. They are always reducing something or developing something. Comments of the Press Town in HOUSEHOUSE Never throw away cine dropper. It mixes in case of fire.

The columns of newspapers should not be filled with nauseous details of these morally repulsive "affairs." Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying HUSTLE FOR BUSINESS—Forbes Magazine Said a vigorous, successful business man, in discussing the general outlook: "This is a time for going out and hustling to win laurels for one's brow; not for browsing on one's laurels." This is the keynote progressive men are constantly striking today. They are hopeful, they are confident, they are resolute. But they feel that supreme effort must be exercised and maintained. They are sure business can be secured, but they are equally sure it cannot be secured by sitting still and waiting for it to come. The bushes need much beating before birds can be bagged. The main problem now is not how to effect economy in production—that already has been attended to; the main problem is how to market products, how to drum up orders, how to attract new customers, how to expand selling, distribution and consumption. The business current is not yet running strongly enough to justify any resting on oars. The concern that contents itself with resting on its oar is certain to find itself drifting backwards. Should red-blooded, go-getters, hemen, lament or exult over worth-testing conditions? Has not the opportunity come for workers to prove themselves winners? Microscopic Prisoners W. E. Allen California Biological Feature Service Sometimes in conversation with prominent scientists one gets most amazing insight into the skill, ingenuity and resourcefulness which they display in their routine work and which on account of the fact is regarded by them as uninteresting and commonplace. The other day I was talking with Professor H. E. Walter of Brown University about the handling of various kinds of biological material and he told me about some of his experiences. In one case some years ago he was teaching in a very large high school and found it necessary to provide large quantities of material for quick use. Every one who has used a microscope knows how difficult it is to find a good specimen of a microscopic animal just when it is wanted. But Dr. Walter needed to find fifty such specimens for six successive classes in one day. So he took a small glass tube (about one eighth of an inch in diameter) and by aid of heat he pulled it out into a hair like tube ("capillary tube") of almost microscopic size. He then broke the hair like portion into suitable lengths, stuck an end of each piece into a dish in which he had cultivated thousands of good specimens and so captured several little animals as the water ran into the tube. The tubes were then laid aside in readiness for the tiny enclosure; one is tempted to say like caged lions. To me this ingenious contrivance seemed almost as interesting as the little animals which it helped to exhibit, but to Dr. Walter it seemed to be merely a matter of course, all in the day's work, and not deserving particular attention. It shows, too, what some teachers do with the leisure time which they are sometimes said to have in abundance. A phonograph using records that produce buzzing sounds in a quickly learned code has been invented in Austria to enable blind persons to read.

He then broke the hair like portion into suitable lengths, stuck an end of each piece into a dish in which he had cultivated thousands of good specimens and so captured several little animals as the water ran into the tube. The tubes were then laid aside in readiness for his class. When the class came in each student took a tube and placed it under his microscope where he could immediately find the little animals and watch them swim back and forth in their little prison. Dr. Walter says such a preparation will keep several days in good condition. Furthermore it could be laid between the leaves of a pocket note book and carried around in his pocket. He told about one which he thus carried for a week. When he first made it he found that he had captured five vegetative forms and one that was predaceous. After a few hours three of the former had been devoured by the latter. On the next day it had divided into two and the two were swimming vigorously back and forth from end to end of "They've got ocompany," said Miss Fawn Lippincut, when she saw th' Moots' cellar lit up last night.

Folks, Howdy: You may not know us, perhaps never heard of us, but we are here to tell you. We are small in numbers but like most small folk feel our importance—why, we are thinking about being a city, with city dads to tell us what we may do and what we may not. Some day you may be proud to say you once lived here, for we have young folk in our midst that we as a community are very proud of. Buena Park had five honor pupils in the Fullerton U. H. S., which is our high school and one of these represented her class by making a speech at the honor banquet Friday night. This honor banquet is given by the faculty each year to students who have been on the honor roll three times during the year. We appreciate their effort and ability and hope fathers and mothers will encourage the young folk to strive for this honor and that this time next year not only these but many others will be honor students. And I think it fitting we should let them know we appreciate them. Some day when Lester Schofield startles the world by some wonderful medical discovery and Elizabeth Berkey becomes a noted authoress and Leona Hilggenfield a martyred missionary and Mildred Johnson a noted opera singer, and Bertha Robison occupies the latin chair in one of our universities, we can point with pride to what Buena Park has given to the world. We are not only proud of our high school achievements but of our grammar school as well. Here we have a number of honor students, which not only speaks well for our community but for our teaching force, and we take our hats off to our grammar school teachers, also our P.-T. A. president, Mrs. Ritter, who has work there will be a large yield of grapes to be converted later into raisins, and perchance maybe a few be pressed into a more fluid state. During our short sojourn in Tulare county we took a rather whirlwind trip into Fresno, the writer's old stamping ground. We found that the city, like many California towns, had not beet lying dormant but its borders had been extended and the hand of industry had not been idle. About the most noticeable change the writer took note of was the absence of the large watering troughs that occupied conspicuous places on two sides of the court house square where the freighters of bygone days watered and nearby fed their teams. Both teams and troughs are now supplanted by fruit and vegetable salesmen. Returning to Tulare county we prepared for our departure to Bakerfield which was by stage. After a two-days visit there with relatives and friends, 8:30 a.m., Monday, May 8, found us on our way to the road of a thousand crooks, known as the Ridge route. For many miles after leaving Bakerfield the boulevard was straight as an arrow. On reaching the mountains and beginning the ascent the serpentine curves were too numerous to mention. The day was for the most part cloudy and grew cooler as we neared the summit. At one point we ran through a small shower of sunshine. At many places only three or four feet of the road-bed lay between us and eternity. Guardrails and cement curbing line outer edge of ammy curves. So crooked is the road that it might be called a road of V's double S's with a few W'e added.—O. H. PEED, Anaheim, Cal.

The Plain Dealer: Wife and I having returned from a ten-days outing in Tulare and Kern counties, I will write a few items that may be of interest to your readers. In portions of Tulare county the farmers are branching out quite extensively in cantaloupe cultivation. With most of the farmers it seems to be a new departure from the general routine of farming. By working early and late, using plenty of water, and vigorously fighting the bugs that congregate to dine on the tender plants, they hope to succeed in placing many carloads of the toothsome melon on the market. From the appearance of the many vineyards the writer observed WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF Nothing is more serious to a humorist than being funny. Very few dancing masters escape the divorce court. The most common mistake of us all is starting things, and then laying down on the job. More than half of us are dissatisfied with our given names. One sure sign of love is when a girl puts her purse in a man's pocket to carry. Buildings go up as prices go down. Founain pens, like a lot of men, show a remarkable disinclination to work. No kind of weather suits everybody. A man has to be 35 before he can run for president. That's why the college seniors look worried.

Cut Your Mo By Buying a THOMAS CROW By means of changeable speed gears, the knife may be driven slow when cutting alfalfa, weeds or light grass and fast when working in tough or heavy grass. Everybody knows that machinery operated at high speed wears out quicker than the same machinery run at slow speed, because the higher the speed he greater the vibration—and the greter the vibration the more "racking" there is. The change from high gear to slw, or from slow to high requires no tos and only five seconds' time.
