HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $2; six months $1.75 Served at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter Sometimes we think it is better to be able to run like Paddock than to fight like Dempsey. Judge says a man can marry on $100 per month. He can if she doesn't know about it. Every rat costs this country $1.82 per year; but isn't worth it. A bachelor's main troubles are that he has no wife to blame for them. Our government plans to live beyond our means again next year. In Boston, a robber ran from a flapper. A single man, no doubt. Soviets at Genoa wear new silk hats and talk through them. About the only successful bathing suit ceneor is a mosquito. With the fur coats stowed away the moths are in soft. Another rich man is being sued by a chorus girl for breach of promise. The call of the wild. "Women Sentenced for Keeping Still"—headline. Our experience is they seldom keep still. In Dublin, armed men invaded a bath house, took a bath, and then made a clean get-away. The objection to throwing cold water is, it dampens the enthusiasm. Foods that cost the most to buy cause the most stomach troubles. Politics often compels men to vote for things they are opposed to. The family skeleton is bad enough without wearing a bathing suit. Many an amateur gardener grows nothing but disgust. KEEP YOUNG OFFENDERS FROM CRIMINALS Keep young first offenders away from hardened criminals in prisons — this is a very effectual way of saving many boys and young men from entering upon a life of crime. Very impressive evidence to this effect was gathered by the law-enforcement committee of the American Bar Association, whose members visited the penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois, and questioned six inmates as to why men go wrong. One of these prisoners is quoted as saying: "The whole trouble, as I see it, lies in the fact that youngsters, when first arrested, are thrown into jail with a lot of old-time criminals. The criminals talk nothing but crime, crime. How they pulled their last job and how they got away, now they beat a case. The first offender's mind if filled with schemes to make easy money and get away with it. Segregation of first offenders, I think is the thing that is needed most, particularly in county jails." This impresses one as being sound and sensible. This suggestion comes from a man who knows whereof he speaks. He himself is a criminal — held in prison, with no designation but a number, for a long period, for his transgressions against society. But he has elements of good in him. This is evidenced by what he says in urging segregation of first offenders from roughened criminals. This is a species of prison reform that should be instituted everywhere in this country. FOREST PROTECTION IS VASTLY USEFUL More than 200,000,000 acres or forest are receiving some form of fire protection through the co-operation of state and federal forest officials. This co-ordinated protection is being reduced to a very effectual system. It is something that must be maintained permanently. Fire is the The objection to throwing cold water is, it dampens the enthusiasm. Foods that cost the most to buy cause the most stomach troubles. Politics often compels men to vote for things they are opposed to. The family skeleton is bad enough without wearing a bathing suit. Many an amateur gardener grows nothing but disgust. A man who runs around goes in a circle. Many a man gets stung by a butterfly. Home is where a man hangs his radio. SUMMER VISITORS MANY THIS YEAR This promises to be a very lively summer for travel. Low excursion rates are being given by all transcontinental roads this year, the first time since the World War. Many are coming to California this summer, from present indications, because of these attractive rates. As the lower fares apply to all parts of the Pacific Coast, many will come to tour this section. The effect of more active summer passenger traffic on the railroad will be very favorable to the country. It will put a great deal of money into circulation. It will impel a great many to invest in productive enterprises. It will bring many new residents to California and other states of the Pacific West. It will be an enlivening factor at a time when the economic situation in general is improving. FOREST PROTECTION IS VASTLY USEFUL More than 200,000,000 acres or forest are receiving some form of fire protection through the co-operation of state and federal forest officials. This co-ordinated protection is being reduced to a very effectual system. It is something that must be maintained permanently. Fire is the perpetual enemy of forests. There never will come a time when forested areas safely can be left without protection. Even though there were no human carelessness to start fires, there is lightning, which originates many destructive conflagrations. Spontaneous combustion, too, is responsible for many a blaze in wooded regions. Protection of forests here in California is well organized. There is better co-operation from the public than formerly. Campers are becoming more careful—many of them from fear of punishment, and many from sheer inclination to be helpful in saving the forests from ruthless destruction. The kingdoms of the earth rapidly are becoming democratized. There is no civilized land today that is an absolute monarchy. Political freedom has become infectious in all parts of the world. Even in countries where ancient custom kept absolutism entrenched, the rays of liberty have penetrated. All civilized peoples are nearer to complete self-government today than they ever were before. A dumbbell thinks the cry "54-40 or fight" was Abe Lincoln trying to get a telephone number. BIG POWER in EVERY DROP!

NEW YORK, May 15.—Love pirates and the South Seas have had to give way to another favorite on the New York book counters. More in demand than anything else in the world just now, say the dealers, are books on "magic." The demand extends to every class of the community. Ghosts, angels, demons, and telepathic forces are being invoked alike in mansion and tenement. Whole departments in the book shops have been cleared for treasises on these things, with big placards and arrows pointing the way to them. "I thought I passed your feet t'day," said Lafe But, t'day, when he got home an' found his sister-in-law wuz in town fer a visit. We're goin' t' have a lot o' trouble in th' years t' come t' locate the exact apartment where some great man wuz born. Plans for the unveiling of busts of Washington, Mark Hopkins, Edgar Allen Poe, Maria Mitchell and Gilbert, Charles Stuart in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University have been announced for late this month. Edward Markham will unveil the bust of Poe. Maybe it's true—what we wrote the other day about the age of the flapper beginning to dim, giving a chance to the older woman. Anyhow, here's one rather vivid demonstration of the fact. Mrs. Ray Burkon, West 11th street, is not only forty-five years old, but she is the mother of eight children and the grandmother of one, and she has just been declared a love-thief in no less place than the Courts of New York County. The Sheriff's jury gave a verdict of $100,000 to Mrs. Sally Goldberg, who at the more flapperish age of 27 years declares she was unable to hold her husband's interest against the charms of the grandmother rival. Mary Boland in "The Advertising of Kate," a delightful comedy by Annie Nathan Meyer, which just opened at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, plays the role of the modern, efficient, charming young business woman, who sees her chances in life disappearing because she is too businesslike—chances for love and marriage.

SOUP ON THE VEST: WE ASSUME Writes a society bird on the Los Angeles Examiner, called Cholly Angelend; "There was a preponderance of color, as if each individual wearer had lent her touch of brilliance to the occasion with a soupcon of graver shades of gray and black, making more effective the contrast to the handsome iridescents, crystal-headed clinging things of chiffon, crepe, satin and net." Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing. Mrs. Sally Goldberg, who at the more flapperish age of 27 years declares she was unable to hold her husband's interest against the charms of the grandmother rival. Mary Boland in "The Advertising of Kate," a delightful comedy by Annie Nathan Meyer, which just opened at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, plays the role of the modern, efficient, charming young business woman, who sees her chances in life disappearing because she is too businesslike—chances for love and marriage. I mean. She decides to advertise herself as she does her clients' products, and turns into a butterfly pro tem. It works. The play is well written and well-acted. There might be some towns where it would be difficult, but we find it easy here to hustle and yet let the grass grow under our feet. At one place, near Broadway and Leonard street, there is a small drainage grating set into the sidewalk. Dust and dirt have set in it almost to the level of the sidewalk, and in that little plot, less than two foot square, grass grows luxuriantly. But it isn't Topsy grass, in that it "just grewed." A truck driver, working in the neighborhood, realizing that the soil under the grating would be so good, went to the trouble of planting the seed, and is rewarded by seeing the blades trying to sprout up over the grating, but kept down all the time by the countless hoofs and feet which trod over them each day. In spite of all we read of the terrible congestion in the cities of the Orient and parts of London, the new census shows that our own New York is the most densely populated city in the world. One and one-half per cent of the cities area is now occupied by 18 per cent of the population, fifty-eight districts holding more than 400 persons to the acre. It cost Gottlieb Dall just $25 the other day to call one of our policemen a "big stiff." He was arrested for speeding and charged as much for the unkind remark to the patrolman as for the violation of the law. No more dancing until the summer sun is rising! At least not here in Gotham. Police instructions have cut off this last flair of morning gayety along the Great White Way. All cabaret and shuffling of feet must cease at two a.m., promptly hereafter, however beguiling the jazz may be. There has been a provision in the city ordinance to that effect for many months, but no one knows why it is suddenly enforced. If it's from Witmán's it's good.

We also wish to thank those who bought tickets and helped us to make up a deficit in order that we could pay the members for the summer concerts. The city has set aside sufficient funds, but not in time to cover expenses for this season, which was the reason for the deficit. Our concerts will be announced at a later date.—E. A. BEARD, manager. WISE AND WITTY SAYINGS IN BRIEF It is difficult for a vegetarian to pass up a fried chicken. Men in bondage to the lawnmower and woodpile can't see where golf comes in. Brilliance won't get a man much of anywhere unless there is honesty combined with it. DOESCHER RENAMED PASTOR OF SALEM Rev. F. H. Doescher has been re-appointed pastor of the Salem Evangelical church, it was shown when the list of appointments came out at the close of the 39th annual session of the California Conference, Evangelical Ass'n, in Santa Ana. He is presiding elder of the Santa Ana district. Bishop L. H. Seager of Naperville, Ill., delivered the morning sermon, describing his experiences on a journey to China and Japan.

DEMAND STUDENTS' ARREST BOULDER, Colo., May 16.—"U. of C." and "University of Colorado" in black and white lettering appeared on the 12 night, coaches of a party of Kansas City men who visited the university. The Missouri Pacific Railway demanded the arrest of the students, alleging damage of $600. The students' action followed the appearance of a K in front of the C on Flagstaff mountain where the C is placed every year.
