Being careless with one's health oftentimes entails ghastly penalties. Put into the observance of Memorial Day the spirit that spells reverence for the heroic dead. Surely, Genoa is not to become the graveyard of Europe's hopes for peace and economic restoration? The Genoa conference will accomplish only so much good as the generous, practicable co-operation of all Europe would make possible. The country is not becoming corpulently prosperous all at once. But economic betterment has surly come, and more of it is on the way. It is bad enough to defraud the national government at any time. But particularly heinous to perpetrate swindles in the stress of a great war. If human happiness depended altogether upon what human beings say about each other or do to each other, there would be very little happiness in the world. ALASKA IS IN GRIP OF BUREAUCRACY Plaintiffs come often from Alaska—plaintiffs about the bureaucratic government there. These are so frequent, so insistent, and so specific, that there seems to be no valid reason to doubt their gonuliness. President Harding is planning a trip to Alaska mainly for the purpose of studying conditions there and to find out, firsthand, what reforms are needed. Mr. Harding has sent to the governorship of that territory an excellent man—Scott C. Bone, a veteran journalist whose field of activity was Seattle at the time he received this appointment. It is not against the policies or methods of Mr. Bone that such clamorous protest is made, but against bureaucratic methods originating in certain departments at Washington. President Harding should be visit Alaska this summer, should be able to discern quickly just what is needed and once he learns what is required, it should not take long to institute the betterments that he situation demands. It is regrettable that anything should have arisen to hold back the material development of Alaska. Its people should have the benefit of sound, practical, modernized government. They should not be hampered by laws or regulations or by special privileges granted to any persons or corporations. HOUSING SHORTAGE NOT YET OVERCOME So.

But economic betterment has surly come, and more of it is on the way. It is bad enough to defraud the national government at any time. But particularly heinous to perpetrate swindles in the stress of a great war. If human happiness depended altogether upon what human beings say about each other or do to each other, there would be very little happiness in the world. Providence rules the world in mercy and kindness. The greatest of all calamities and sufferings are those which human beings bring upon themselves, not visitations of Providence. California, one of the last of the state to feel the effects of economic depression, is among the first to show very substantial and real recovery in economic activity. This promises to be an unusually good summer for this state, in economic way. Abraham Lincoln's remarkably dignified, chaste and majestic style of speech, in his addresses and state papers, no doubt was influence greatly by his reading of the Bible. There is no book, or group of books, under heaven, which contains more eloquence or greater power and precision of expression, than the Bible contains. Commencement season is always of keen interest: It is time when the very atmosphere is redolent with sweet attar of hopes and ambitions and yearnings. Graduates may be over-ardent and their schemes of life may be fantastic, in some aspects, but the general aim is toward the upward and the onward. Do not scoff at the attitude of the graduate toward life. HOUSING SHORTAGE NOT YET OVERCOME So. Calif. is yet the Nation's "white spot" in building operations. Truly phenomenal is the volume or construction. Nor is there the least sign of abating. From present indications, the notable activity will be maintained throughout the year. With all the building that is proceeding, the shortage in housing is not relieved. Demand for homes keeps up, if not in advance of, the new construction. This great activity in the building trades is adding very appreciably to the economic revival in So. Calif. Great sums, in the aggregate, are paid out in wages and for structural materials. The greater part of this is expended right at home. It enters the channels of trade, and sooner or later the whole community shares in the profits from it. This stimulus is noteworthy right here in Anaheim. MR. KIPLING POEM IS STIRRING Rudyard Kipling has not lost his hold upon the divine afflaus. His latest poem, "The King's Pilgrimage," breathes the stirring spirit or "Recessional." It is essentially Kiplingsque in style. Everything from the pen of this literary genius is of his own style. He is not a copyist. He makes his own meter in verse. He uses his own imagery. He acknowledges no law of prosody except that which his own inspiration lays down. Mr. Kipling has not been producing much, latterly. His millions of admirers on this side of the Atlantic hope that "The King's Pilgrimage" may be the forerunner of many other notable productions by him. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying BUILDING BRISK THIS YEAR Dayton (O.) News The year 1922, unless all signs fall, is going to be a big year for building. The first touch of spring will be sufficient to send home lovers and contractors into the field. The sound of the concrete mixer and the pounding of the carpenter's hammer will be heard in the land. It is estimated that builders in the country have been advancing construction operations at the rate of $000,000 a month. At a very low and conservative estimate it is suggested that the buildings in the meaning at all, that there will be considerably more employment in the building business in 1922 over 1921. In the larger cities of the country in particular, stimulated activity in construction lines has been observed. New York has more than $54,000,000 worth of work already under way, Central West contractors it is reported, have about $24,700,000 worth of projects started of which more than four and one-half million concern industry. From every section of the country, in fact, has come news of the projected revival in the building game. It is interesting to observe that in this array of figures a considerable portion of the work is to be for residences. The apparent need for more homes, added Doctor—You have door and only your tion saved your life. Patient—I hope that when you see "To make a man an psychologist," be that's what when he named Poor Old The seat of our ways being sat up New Jersey's L then wanted to modern watchwor The interior d The year 1922, unless all signs fall, is going to be a big year for building. The first touch of spring will be sufficient to send home lovers and contractors into the field. The sound of the concrete mixer and the pounding of the carpenter's hammer will be heard in the land. It is estimated that builders in the country have been advancing construction operations at the rate of $000,000,000 a month. At a very low and conservative estimate it is suggested that the buildings in the United States in the present year will be not less than 50 per cent greater than in 1921.

Rudolph Valentino's expenses New York Letter by Larry James Price NEW YORK, May 24. — Another sex discrimination removed! The Hall of Fame of New York University has opened its membership to women, and has admitted one. The bust of Maria Mitchell, astronomer, has been unveiled there, after considerable discussion as to the advisability of having a separate half for any feminines who seemed worthy of fame. They decided to let them right into the same hall with men, and even went so far as to unveil the bust of the late Miss Mitchell in the same ceremony with those of Washington, Poe, Mark Hopkins and Gilbert Stuart. It seemed as though Marcell de Sano had experienced almost enough of life's thrills without topping them off by going to jail. But some lives are never too crowded, it would appear. De Sano is the Roumanian ace of aces, war aviator extraordinary, possessor of the Star of Roumania, and the order of Michael Brave. the Croix de Guerre, and the bands of Ferdinand the Brave. More than all that, he was the window smasher of the German Embassy in Roumania, adviser to the Roumanian legislation in Italy, and prisoner of the Bolshaviks. Now then, to come down to more modern times, he is a Greenwich Village artist at present., and when his studio was on fire the other night, he insisted upon going into it against the orders of the policeman in charge. He was arrested for disorderly conduct in consequence, and when offers were made to bail him out, refused bail. "Never mind the bail," he countered. "I may direct a picture some day dealing with prisons and the material I get will enable me to make it realistic. The experience will be worth while." It is a bright domestic comedy which opened at the Belmont Theatre the other night under the title of "Kempy." The story is that of an exceedingly highbrow heroine who decides to break with her fliance and marries the plumber because she "is Is There a Soul? Robert Blatchford, leading materialist of England, editor of the radical publication, "The Clarion," and author of "Merrie England," announces his conversion. He believes no longer that materialism can answer the problems of life. "The materialist philosophy," he says, "seemed so logical, so real, so substantial. I knew nothing of any life but this, and all evidence was against the theory of a future state. But, I have to abandon my position. How can one hold to materialism if there is no material? If, as we have just discovered, the infinitessimal atom is divisible into millions of electrons, there is no such thing as material substance. What is more, unless I am mistaken, the latest trend of science is toward the belief that matter is motion. Thus, the foundations of my philosophy have been destroyed." Mr. Blatchford has put an extraordinary question to all materialists: "How can one hold to materialism if there is no material?" Profound conclusions result from that query. Matter has been traced back from molecules to atoms and from atoms to electrons. And now, physicists are showing that electrons are centres of motion in the ether. Matter has become etherialized. Since the mind dwells in matter can it not also dwell apart from matter? That is to say, cannot the mind dwell in the ether; into which matter itself is resolved? Logically, why not? It is only necessary to prove this as a fact in order to prove it scientifically, the existence of the soul. Mr. Blatchford does not yet admit the soul has been proved. Materialism has been disproved, he says, but the soul has still to be revealed. Nevertheless, the rejection of materialism raises at least a pre-supposition in favor of the soul. For, if the body is not just a broken machine at death, what happens? "Something is gone. What? Unless it be the soul." Mr. Blatchford's rejection of materialism is significant of the trend of modern thought. The war has not scattered disbelief and atheistic cynicism over the world. Rather, the movements seems to be toward an inquiry into the power of the spirit Jess Willard's training, we hear. Probably for a fat man's race. CONGRESS "You have thrown me off my gear. I forgot which side I was on."—Representative Green, Vermont. College girls graduate in June but brides just start learning. Rudolph Valentino's expenses should be paid by California real estate men. Think of the demand that blimbo has created for "twin bungalows on the desert." J. P. Morgan says Germany could raise a billion dollars in this country if she could give ample security. So could Joe Padoti. WONDERFUL Lillian White disappeared at Nyack, N.Y. Two boys, picking wild flowers found a skeleton, its skull battered in. Scientific detectives reconstructed the victim's head by smashing plaster over the skull, mathematically restoring the face as it looked in life with muscles and skin over the bones. Relatives viewed the work, instantly identified it. Blue glass eyes and a wig of the victim's hair, found near the skeleton, made it life-like. Sherlock Holmes, Lecod or De Bentron never did anything as wonderful. Household Hint Hard-boiled eggs will not explode if they are lanced soon after being removed from the kettle. The Colorado river overflows, north and south, and at the flood season, east and west as well. In the spring a young man's fancy—and so are the young women. In New York a boy got terribly sick from eating face powder. This should be a warning against petting parties. THAT'S DIFFERENT Doctor—You have been at death's door and only your strong constitution saved your life. Patient—I hope you'll remember that when you send in your bill.

The interior decorator who went It is a bright domestic comedy which opened at the Belmont Theatre the other night under the title of "Kempy." The story is that of an exceedingly highbrow heroine who decides to break with her flame and marries the plumber, because he "is the only man who understands" her. It is an amusing family mix-up with sharply drawn characters and well-cast actors playing the roles. J. C. Nugent, of vaudeville fame, and his son, Elliott, wrote the play, and both have leading parts. Lotus Robb is excellent as the marrying girl of the family and Ruth Nugent, as her younger sister. Five hundred children of Avenue A planted garden seeds on the plats they had taken over for the summer at the Rockefeller Institute this week. They came in relays and did the planting under megaphone instructions. One week's revival of Sheridan's "The Rivals" with a cast composed entirely of stars, is announced by the Players' Club as the first public performance ever given under the auspices of that organization. It will be presented at the Empire Theatre during the week of June 5 and it is promised that it will be one or a series of annual revivals of old English comedies to be fostered by the club. Bob Acres will be played by Francis Wilson; Captain Absolute, by Robert Warwick; Sir Anthony, by Tyrone Power; and Fankand by Charles Richman. The role of Lydia Languish has not yet been assigned. Silver quills—long, dangerous-looking ones—stuck through the back of one's colfure is the latest fad. I saw one the other night, phrasing a low knot of hair and standing out fully six inches on either side, which was most fetching in effect. As Irving Berlin has so eloquently written, "Don't Blame It All on the Music." No jazz or any of its accompaniments plays any part in one of our most recent divorce plains. It's golf. That good, old out-of-door life to which the anti-jazzists are imploring us to return. Mrs. Sterling Hayward has been granted a divorce in the Jersey courts from her husband, a well-known business man in New York City, on the grounds that golf has completely led him away from her. Once he went to Europe and upon his return, rushed into the house, said "How do you do?" brushed past her to his rooms, changed his clothes and left for the golf course. PAH-TOOIE!

LETTER'S FROM THE PEOPLE Anaheim, Cal., May 23, 1922 To the People of Anaheim: I have sold my law-library and good-will to Mr. H. V. Weisel, who begins the practice of law at the old stand, rooms 3 and 4, Golden State National Bank. I have no definite plans as to new place of location. I shall remain in Anaheim for some months, winding up business on hand. I wish to thank the people of Anaheim and vicinity for their patronage in the past, and I am especially grateful to the many friends who have given me support and encouragement. I shall always have a warm spot in my heart for them. I bespeak a great future for Anaheim. I have always spoken of her as a good, lively growing city. This does not mean that she is perfect.

Weisel to your consideration. In all my dealings with him, I have found him a gentleman. I believe he is worthy of your confidence. Respectfully, JOHN U. HEMMI.
