Shakespeare. Sow the seeds of thrift, reap the harvest of competence. The tariff should not be in "entangling alliance" with politics. The law should be above and a controlling factor in every organization in the land. Partisanship, in Congress and out, should be tempered with reason and discretion. The friend who is loyal through one's misfortunes and reverses, is the friend indeed. Enfranchisement of women has been a thoroughly good thing for the political life of the Nation. Back of every ballot, cast in every election in this country, should be intelligence and honest conviction. America respondeds wit hnoble generosity to calls for help for the distressed in any part of the world. If the people patronized clean, wholesome pictures more generously, more of them would be produced. The dryest two spots on earth are the Sahara desert and the United States Congress during a tariff debate. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and should be respected as such, in all its parts, by all the people. LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT Science has found how to produce cold light. The world needs a pattern of the device for psychological use. Light without heat, once established intellectually, would point the way to the world's reformation. At Genoa, as in the American strike fields, and at all the world centers of conflict, who so seeks to create light generates heat as well? If humanity could eliminate the heat, the quality of the light would be examined and its power improved until it dissolved the darkness of ignorance and greed. As man's mind now is, in its slow evolutionary career, the approach of light heightens the temperature, as a protective device. Man proverbially fears the dark; but more than the dark, man fears the light. In the dark, movement is limited. In the light, unknown paths, leading far into the beyond reveal themselves. Heat, therefore, is a psychological method of making the dark prevail, with its concoction of new ways. Eventually, the cold light of reason will reign. But, when that time comes, mankind will have learned not to fear what the light has to show. Selfishness, pride of opinion, craft and desire for gain by evil means must disappear before the light of reason ceases to create neat. Let there be a general desire for the good of all, and the light will shine before men, illuminating the way and not inflaming it. DES JOHNNYCAKES? MAIS OUI! Uncle Sam sold 65,000,000 bushels of Indian corn abroad the first three months of this year. We specify "Indian" because Europeans still call all small cereals corn "maize." But that isn't the point, which is... America respondeds wit hnoble generosity to calls for help for the distressed in any part of the world. If the people patronized clean, wholesome pictures more generously, more of them would be produced. The dryest two spots on earth are the Sahara desert and the United States Congress during a tariff debate. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and should be respected as such, in all its parts, by all the people. Those who enter the public service should give their very best efforts to the public. And the public, on its part, should manifest appreciation of good public service. Crime seems to strike Chicago with tidal-wave intensity. The situation there is so menacing that it is coming to a showdown as between the criminal element, on one hand, and the law-abiding on the other. The Genoa conference has as many lives as the proverbial cat. The correspondents have killed it time after time, but it comes up smiling and serene, yet alive and functioning. Some real good may come from it yet. DES JOHNNYCAKES? MAIS QUI! Uncle Sam sold 65,000,000 bushels of Indian corn abroad the first three months of this year. We specify "Indian" because Europeans still call all small cereals corn "maize." But that isn't the point, which is that at last Europeans are coming to like Johnny cake and corn bread and corn fritters and corn flapjacks and maybe just plain corn meal mush. At least the English, Germans and Dutch are coming to like these things, for they are the peoples who have bought our corn thus far. It's too cold and wet for the most part to raise good corn in Europe but the world needs cheap food and good, and the cheapest and best, in many respects is the food the Indians gave to the world in 1492. United States can raise enough surplus corn to feed the whole of Europe if necessary—once we get fertilizer enough to build up southern lands. For that matter corn needs less fertilizer than any other crop, save perhaps beans. You are cordially invited to visit our display of Lincoln and Ford Motor Cars at 2nd Annual Valencia Orange Show.

Anaheim Phone 31 NEW YORK, May 20—Few members of Old Trinity church realize that all whales cast up on the shore of Long Island belong to them! But it is so, according to edict of the church, at least. The Trinity charter, granted by a British sovereign, gives the church this right. It isn't one of the prerequisites one would naturally think of in a church connection, either. On East Fortieth street, is a gallery which is carrying out its gospel of helping the unknown artist. It might very well be named the Gallery of the Unknown, instead of the Sculptor's Gallery, its real title. Hepatations will count not at all in selecting paintings and sculpture worthy of placing there; and it is the hope of its founders that enough real artists who have never achieved even a local recognition will come forward with their work. Dwellers on Manhattan Island don't have to be radio operators in order to realize the force of vibrations. All they have to do is happen to choose a home or an office on top of one of our granite ledges. Then they become not only conscious but clamorous on the subject. The city is built on a solid foundation of granite, but there are waves of rock which were thrown higher than its level at the time the island rose from the sea, which streak through to the heart of our business district. One of these runs southeast from the Hudson river up around Sixth Street, with the result that when a skyscraper is being constructed anywhere along this ledge, every shot of the necessary dynamite sends heavy vibrations through every other building along its course. The building law specifies the amount of dynamite which may be used in any one shot, but the law didn't consider sufficiently the feelings of those who happen to live on the same ledge being dynamized. The Hotel Commonwealth is the largestSome one is searching about among us with a lantern again. A one hundred dollar media has been offered by the Order of Owls to the New Yorker who performs the most notable act of kindness toward his neighbors during the next three months. Any New Yorker is eligible, I am willing to predict, in behalf of my city, that if New Yorkers' acts of kindness really get reported in to the Order of Owls, they will find as many of them in proportion to our population as you could uncover in any community, however small and neighborly. Here is one act that I don't think will be put into that kindly category by a considerable number among us. Assemblyman Steinbert, of this city, has introduced into the state legislature a bill forbidding young men—or older ones—from driving an automobile while one arm is around a girl's waist. He says he is trying to prevent, not love-making, but auto accidents; and it is just one more thing to demonstrate that all these modern facors of civilization are not the unalloyed benefits they may be thought at first. There is no doubt but what the traffic cops at our busiest corners have more feminine wiles practiced upon them than any other group of men in the city, motion picture producers not excepted. Every woman who tries to cross the street against the traffic seems to believe that the idea of smiling at the officer so he won't order her back to the sidewalk is an idea entirely original with herself. But it doesn't work. They have grown adamant. The old Rhinelander home on the north side of Washington Square, which is now being made over into an apartment house, held the distinction of having been occupied longest by one family of any home in this restless city. It was built in 1840 by the late William C. Rhinelander and the family has lived in it ever since. "So Rudolph Valentino has married that Winifred Hudnut. What do you know about that, Clarissa?" "Don't nivear sun over a la-bee wiff a automooseel," says Lil Izzy Izzy, the office trizzy, "Th' nurin' bottle 'ill bust yer tires!" LETTING HIM DOWN EASY A rich man, on his death bed, called his chauffeur who had been in his service for years, and said: "Ah, Syk s. I'm going on a long and rugged journey, worse than ever you drove me." "Well, sir," consoled the chauffeur, "there's one comfort. It's all down hill." — American Legion Weekly. When a man gets killed by an automobile in Los Angeles, they call it a natural death. DOUGHBOY STUFF "Probe War Frauds." — Headline People just won't leave these second hand刃enants alone. JAILS AND JEALOUSY If chained to a dull job, you envy Dan O'Leary, who has walked 275,000 miles in his roving since 1874. Dan is a moving monument to the wonderlust of vagabond instinct that slumbers in all of us. Without it, we'd still be living near the gates of the Garden of Eden. Columbus, American pioneers, and all others who led vast streams of population into new places—all were vagabonds. But we have built up a system that calls for sending out roots—camping in one locality for life. That's why in jealousy, civilization delights to jail tramps. OUT OUR WAY Many an Anaheim bill collector isn't successful in his calling. "Best thing about drinking wood alcohol is it never becomes a habit," says Lil Oh Oh, the office crow. One old-timer's objection to the smart set is all they do is "set an act smart." Good Times didn't win the Derby, of course. You couldn't expect a horse with a name like that to come in very fast. One trouble with the world is not enough wars are being prevented. And too many people are wishing their marriage licenses would expire. Now we know why Peggy Joyce is so good at scraping acquaintances. She's a barber's daughter, we learn. If you are a genius, be quiet about it when you apply for a job. We may give advice, but we cannot inspire the conduct—La Roche. One trouble with the world is not enough wars are being prevented.

If you are a genius, be quiet about it when you apply for a job. We may give advice, but we cannot inspire the conduct.—La Rochefoucauld. STEP LIGHTLY! Walk lightly, friend, perhaps he sleeps. Twould cause us all regret if you should wake the fellow with The freak election bet. —Minneapolis Journal. Maybe the woman who advocates corsets for men is in the employ of the corset manufacturers, who have to get somebody to wear them or go out of business. My idea of the world's champion-tightwad is the Los Angeles youth who is suing the girl who jilted him. He wants to recover the $12.53 he spent on her during their courting days. MIGHTY FINE AS A LAST RESORT Alma people who have no place else to go on Sunday evenings can hear a mighty good sermon at the Evangelical church.—Alma, Kan., Enterprise. The old-fashioned man who could "drink or leave it alone" is now trailing bootleggers and paying $16 a quart for it. Heard in the Valencia hotel lobby: "Do you happen to know of a good fortune teller in this city?" "I would suggest either Bradstreet's or Dun's." A flapper, says a friend of mine, is a small bundle of femininity entirely surrounded by cosmetics! A whale of a job I tackled (none worse), When first I concluded To "last line" in verse.
