Contentment is the truest and best of riches. Why should it be so difficult to obtain verdicts in murder cases? Memorial Day is dedicated, not to festivities, but to commemorating of the gallant dead. If Uncle Sam can prevent profiteering in coal—which he is doing—they can do the same as to other essential commodities. What is so rare as an agreeing jury in a mystery murder case in California? These materials are costly to tax payers. Reported improvement in the health of former President Wilson is gratifying news to his millions of friends and admirers in this country and abroad. As the dry season begins, especial care should be taken by all to safeguard forest reserves. A little prudence along this line may save lives and property. David Lloyd George has never been without a fight since he began his political career, nor has he run away from a fight. No statesman of modern times has weathered so many political storms. SACRAMENTO REVIVING "DAYS OF '49" Sacramento gaily is turning back the hands on the dial, this week, to "The Days of Old, the Days of Gold, the Days of '49." The historical pageant, commemorating the founding of Sacramento and the stirring days at the discovery of gold near that city and following the discovery, when the grand rush of Argonauts from all parts of the world was on, is elaborate and full of the flavor of the good olden days. No city in the state has undertaken to give a more picturesque revival of early days and thrilling scenes and episodes. Great crowds are attending and other cities and sections are congratulating Sacramento upon its enterprise and upon its daring in essaying a pageant so extensive which, to be impressive, must needs be true to historical facts. The veritas seen to be preserved, including the whiskers, the flannels and the high boots of the early mining days, not to speak of the ox carts and the crude ncans of conveyance. Southern California felicitates the capital city upon its spirit of intensive loyalty to the picturesque pioneer history and traditions of this state during a period as romantic as ever fell to the lot of a commonwealth. May the memory of "The Days of '49" live and be cherished by Californians, and may the rugged virtues of the Argonauts be perpetuated in the life of this Golden State! Congress is always in the President's way. It is not speeding up legislation as he desires, but probably will be in session all summer, but break up Mr. Harding's plans to come to the Pacific coast and to Alaska.

A little prudence along this line may save lives and property. David Lloyd George has never been without a fight since he began his political career, nor has he run away from a fight. No statesman of modern times has weathered so many political storms. Religion and education must be at the foundation of America's greatness as a world power, and must give color to its policies in its leadership relations with other powers. These things, befit America and are in consonance with its history and traditions. Government "of the people and by the people" becomes a mockery if the people do not vote and do not make their voice heard in political affairs. If the people really make government of and by themselves, then it should be, in verity, government for the people." The value of permanent good roads is not to be gainsaid. It is demonstrated, over and over again. It has come to pass that any locality having bad roads is so out of joint with the times as to be handicapped very seriously. The question of having bettered highways is not debatable. No community can afford to be without them. Congress is always in the President's way. It is not speeding up legislation as he desires, but probably will be in session all summer, but break up Mr. Harding's plans to come to the Pacific coast and to Alaska. It will be regretted keenly should he not come to this coast, where preparations to entertain him already have been planned. The President is eager to make the trip and will do so, should Congress adjourn in time. There seems to be no likelihood, however, that he will get to come this season. The United States would help Europe, in any reasonable manner, to lift itself out of economic chaos. But it will have nothing to do with European political questions. Should Russia give evidence of its intention to set its own house in order, this country would meet the situation more than half way. But Russia's first help must be first help. Your children should be protected against long hours of labor in dirty factories and dangerous, ill-writened mines. As the National law against child labor has been invalidated by the Supreme Court, it behooves each and every state to legislate for the children, against greed. —Witman, Eyesight specialist.

Abe Martin NEW YORK, May 26.—It may be upsetting in this day of feminism; but here is an actual woman's club in New York City that can be joined only if you have a husband of sufficient achievement. "Columbia Dames" is its title, and its members must be wives of men who can string a whole list of Lld., Ph. D's, etc., after their names. Mrs. John Guy Fowkes, president, declares that a talented husband is enough career for any woman. "Of course," she said, "I am not really against public careers for women who haven't got something better, like husbands, to take up their time. But when a married woman has a husband with real ability, I should say her career lies with him." Th' honeymoon's over an' it's almost time for a divorce when th' husband rents a house without his wife first seein' it. Th' greatest point o' interest in any community is a reliable man. Town in Review On behalf of a confused population, we suggest a Start All Over Again week.

Editor Town in Review: Here are a few interesting definitions: Genius—An ordinary mortal with a darn good press agent. Popularity—Something man at- New York's sociability has been increased by putting name plates on the caps of its bus drivers, to give their real names instead of mere official numbers and the same things over the subway ticket sellers windows. The idea is that the bus and subway riders will get more satisfaction out of negotiating, as it were, with a gentleman whom they can address by name, as gentlemen should. "Talk about New York being cold," one out-of-towner said the other day. "Why since these name plates went into effect, I call more people by name here than I do in my old home town." One person, with a mind given over to sociological investigation, tried the matter out to discover how the bus drivers felt about it. "I took a poll of every one I rode with all one day," he says, "and everyone was against it. I don't suppose they like to have their names known by every one whom they pass on the street any more than you or I would." But it does add to life's sociability." There is a point where sentiment ends. That point often develops at the breaking of an engagement. I have noticed. Here is Albert Metz and Mary Pitz, both of Long Island City, for instance. Their engagement didn't succeed as it should and it is now a complete wreck. Whereupon Mr. Metz is using his one-time be- Every girl of the flapper age is not of the generally accredited flapper type. Take, for example, a group of young high school girls of this most flapper-ish city, who have formed the Junior Auxiliary of the Municipal League. They have just taken on as one particular job to be responsible for, that of taking flocks of children from the tenement districts out into the city parks for half-day vacations. They vetoed Central Park, too, although it was most convenient, because as one girl stated, "The poor little children would feel they had to be all dressed up. They would not be a bit comfortable because they would be in constant fear of getting dirty." So they will take them to Van Cortlandt or some other park on the city's outskirts, where the children can romp to their heart's content. A CHILD'S LAUGHTER All the bells of Heaven may ring. All the birds of Heaven may sing. All the wells on earth may spring. All sweets sounds together; Sweeter far than all things heard; Hand of harper, tone of bird; Sounds of woods at sundown stirred; Welling water's winsome word; Wind in warm wan weather. One thing yet there is, that none Hearing ere its chime be done Knows not well the sweetest one Hear of man beneath the sun, Hoped in Heaven hereafter; Safe and strong and loud and light, Very sound of very light Heard from morning's rosiest hight, When the sould of all delight Fills a child's clear laughter. Golden bells of welcome rolled Never forth such notes, nor told Hour so blithe in tones so bold. As the radiant mouth of gold Here that rings forth Heaven. If the golden-crested wren Were a nightingale—why then, Something seen and heard of man Might be half as sweet as when Laughs a child of seven.

A CITY COUNCIL CERTAINLY KNOWS HOW TO BLOW IN MONEY There is considerable comment in Waynesfield against the action taken by the village council in regard to employing a special policeman at $5 per week. Citizens should attend the meetings of village officials and take more interest in the affairs of the village. There are lots of people who would make good officials but will not serve.—Waynesfield (O.) Chronicle. The jockey who ride the winner in the Kentucky Derby received a present of $10,000 from the owner. As Chas. M. Schwab said, "It's brains that count." Dear Town in Review: I don't get these jewelry layouts they spring on you at some dinners. I never know which knife and fork is which. Darned if I don't believe the jewelers are continually inventing new implements to boost trade. I have always contended that a knife, a fork and a spoon should satisfy any reasonable dinner-out, but even at home I find them slipping extra eating implements into the game whenever we have a guest, and half the time I'm caught using a braissie when I should have picked a nibblek, and often I foozle entirely. Never do I make it in par. What's the answer?—D. K. M. Answer (by the Nut Bros., Ches & Wal); "It is bad manners, Wal, to dip your bread in the gravy." "Yes, Ches, but it's good TASTE." Paste this over your family eating trough. The world gets better. Youseldom hear a ukulele now. Hi Johnson wants a prohibitory duty on foreign nuts. Rather hard on some lecturers. There is a point where sentiment ends. That point often develops at the breaking of an engagement. I have noticed. Here is Albert Metz and Mary Pitz, both of Long Island City, for instance. Their engagement didn't succeed as it should and it is now a complete wreck. Whereupon Mr. Metz is suing his one-time beloved for $94.50, which he alleged he spent to purchase various presents to indicate his love during the beethrothal. Some of these articles were: a monkey wrench; $4; parts for auto; $5; shades for house; $5; and one ring, no setting.$8. One would deduce from the list of presents, that Mr. Metz would have the practical type of mind which would be able to adjust itself to an unsentimental basis when the term for sentiment had expired. Cretonne bathing suits are the latest flair of fashion to bedeck our shop windows, and hold the admiration of the passerby. Some of them are exceedingly attractive. One I noticed the other day had bloomers and upper part of figured cretonne with a great deal of green in it and a brief skirt of violet jersey. People don't applaud a play because they like it. They applaud it because the weather is good. Such, at least, is the theory of Dr. E. E. Price, scientist and engineer and major in the Chemical Warfare Service during the war. It is as a chemist that he analyzes the mechanism of human response to the theatre. "Applause is not only a mental response to pleasure," he says, "but it is also a physical act, and when the weather conditions are stimulating, and the general average of energy in the audience is high, the applause is longer and louder. When a cool evening comes after a warm day, applause is always more frequent, because the people are stimulated. Just watch and see." Witman, Eyesight specialist.

Friday, May 26, 1922 Comments of the Press LEARNING DEFENSE OF SLANG—Pittsburgh Leader The National Council for Teachers of English, in convention at Chicago, is furnishing the great American public with something to talk about, and possibly something to think about, although talking is so much easier than thinking that the higher process may be sidetracked. There is a suggestiveness about the conclusions of some of the more prominent teachers of English that one finds himself unconsciously following the hint. Harry G. Paul, president of the organization, who has been before the public at different times in a scholarly defense of the encroachments of slang, when the advance extends no further than providing a short cut to a point of expressiveness, holds all his old ground. So long as slang is well chosen, and so long as it is not overworked and does not seek the degeneracy of the language, he says it is permissible, if not actually "all right." "For instance," says President Paul, who is one of the most successful teachers of English in the Middle West, "if two boys are fighting and you want to stop them, don't tell them to 'desist.' Cut it out!' is more effective. Undeniably it is more expressive in its appropriateness to the strenuous situation. If a move is bad it may be described by grammatical forms are kept so close to the youthful student that he has little time for other considerations, a less prosaic, less dull choice of words, and far too little for the idea for which he seeks expression. These users of good English are strong for the presentation of the idea, subordinating the words employed so long as they clearly "pup over" the thought. Isn't this one of the strong reasons for the encroachment of slang, which defies all the restrictions of grammar, but does "everlastingly" get the idea "over?"
