Secretary Hughes declined the invitation to America to send delegates to Genoa on the ground that the conference was called not to find economic solutions, but for political purposes. He has proven that with America away, the European politicians are getting nearer to war. That is to say, America no longer can afford to ignore European conferences because they have become political. The very fact that they are political means that they are war breeders. If America continues to rest in isolation, America will have become a contributor to the next conflict. America's duty is to associate with the Europeans and show them how they are allowing political fire to destroy economic fact. Admittedly it will be a difficult part for America to fill. But, no other nation can do the work. And, unless the work is done, Europe will go over the precipice again. It is cheaper for America to prevent war, even at the cost of creating temporary enmities, than to be drawn into a new world conflict. Ignoring humanitarian arguments, America's own pocketbook calls for world peace. If America holds back it will mean statesmanship no longer exists at Washington. Should that prove true, civilization is indeed in a hole. For, on the continent of Europe, leadership is dead and the politicians have no more wisdom than had their predecessors before 1914.

Senators of superheated tempers should place them in cold storage, when they feel a rage coming on. It is well for California cities to do as Sacramento is doing this week—devise carnivals and pageants, reviving fresh in memory the picturesque early history of this commonwealth. California has a varied, stirring and romantic history and its annals should be kept fresh and green in the memory of its people. California has invested well in constructing a great system of permanent highways. Mistakes may have been made—doubtless have been made. But despite errors of judgment in construction, in some instances, the state is better off because of its bettered roads. In future construction, those in charge of road-building should profit by mistakes of the past. GRADE CROSSING PERIL TO BE COMBATED An intensive campaign against grade-crossings is to be waged for four months by the American Railway Association, beginning June 1. President Harding has endorsed this movement, saying that "the complete success of such an effort would mean the saving of thousands of lives, the prevention of many more thousands of injuries and incidentally the prevention of a great property loss." Tragedies at highway grade crossings have increased greatly during the last few years. There were 1702 fatal accidents on grade crossings during 1921, and nearly 5000 persons were injured. The greater number of these accidents involved automobiles, hence the slogan of this campaign will be, "Cross Crossings Cautiously." This rule of three C's is a safe one at all times. Many fatal mishaps are preventable. Autoists, as well as trainmen, should feel the weight of responsibility for carefulness at grade crossings. Thorough co-operation of all, for the promotion of safety, would save many lives, as President Harding asserts. back east excursions round trip Buy Now and secure Pullman reservations for an May 25 to Aug. 31 Good for return Oct. 31 Liberal Stopovers Fred Harvey meals served in dining cars and dining stations Santa Fe all the way GIVE T Fish caught big as those they will be b Well We suppose minds noticed which quotes outliner, as said "The Coronation for an author it is absolutely "They used after the horse Oh Oh, the other build a garage Lives of great That if we And make a re Articles about In a few weeks time is not become "fellow RADIO "Did je get "Yeah."

New York Letter by Larry Jensen Price NEW YORK, May 30.—Six million dollars a year is the income of the New York City Automobile Bureau, all from automobile licenses. It helps to understand our traffic difficulties. The Bureau's two floors at Sixty-fifth street and Broadway form one of the business institutions in the city, with 150 employees busy every minute. There are 124,000 operators' licenses for private owners, out in the city, and 175,000 for hired chauffeurs. The bureau does a good many kinds of work—investigating the record of applicants for licenses and maintaining a court of its own for people whose licenses have been suspended but the job that gets the most attention from the public is that of examining applicants. Every day, an examiner-leads forth fourteen cars in parade through the West Sixties and Seventies, testing each driver for competence in handling his own car. Sitting in the front car; he has a malicious habit of asking its driver to stop on a hill. It isn't the simplest thing to do, and of course every one of the fourteen has to stop immediately afterward or get into difficulty. At last, we have something like a definite decision—once more—on skirt lengths. The associated Dress Industries gave out word the other day that seven or eight inches from the ground is "the" length, this applying with slight modifications, to everything, suits, afternoon dresses, and elaborate ones for evening wear. The more commonly adopted length for suits and tailored frocks, however, and the one which will be recognized as quite correct, will be nine to twelve inches, which is not such a tremendous change, after all. "The Sheik" had to be dramatized, of course. Any book so loved by the millions couldn't escape it. So it is now announced for early next season, with Conway Tearle in the role of the amorous Arab. Comments What Editing EGGS BY COMPARISON Leslie's Weekly In the old days there were two kinds of eggs — good eggs and bad eggs. There were no intermediate stops. But times have changed. A mere good egg is a pretty poor specimen nowadays; as for bad eggs, they are practically extinct, commercially No egg is ever so bad, that its case is hopeless. There is always a place —for it somewhere. Five grades of meaning are given to the word fresh by those who deal in eggs. The old fashioned buyer, doing the family marketing (in person, not by telephone), must not be surprised at the number of unpleasant discoveries he buys merely fresh eggs, in the re-tail classification are rather far down the scale. Fresh may mean fresh in the dictionary, but it is also accompanied by no such guarantee in the grocery or delicatessen shop. One grade above "fresh eggs" are eggs "strictly fresh." Strictly would. Yorba Linda News YORBA LINDA, May 30. (Split). Mrs. Harold Marsh, assisted by her sister, Miss Mildred Cole of Pasadena entertained with a dainty party at her home on Saturday afternoon in honor of Miss Ellen Anderson who will become the bride of Dr. Cochran the first week in June. Three tables of cards were formed and when secreta were counted the prizes went to Miss Emma McConnell and Miss Edith Bemis. Refreshments were served at the small tables and a pretty color scheme of pink and black was carried out in the covers, nut cups and place cards. Fruit sundaes were served with cakes formed like tiny baskets of flowers, the handles being of candy. Each table was centered with a bud vase of ocell bruner buds. Mrs. Marsh presented Miss Anderson as a collective gift from those present, with an exquisite madira luncheon set. Showers have already been given Miss Anderson who is a popular American beginning.

Hotel man who says the state needs someone to sell it scenery, should stick around until Christmas time, when the hollyberries and oak striplings begin to come in. ASKING TOO MUCH Doctor—Your trouble is dyspepsia. You should laugh heartily before and after meals. Patient—But that's impossible, doctor. I cook them myelf and wash up the dishes afterwards. Household Hint A doughnut carefully sprinkled with soap flakes will not eat out the inside of a coat pocket. Morvich won the Kentucky derby; but this man suing for alimony wins the brown derby.

The Sheik* had to be dramatized, of course. Any book so loved by the millions couldn't escape it. So it is now announced for early next season, with Conway Tearle in the role of the amorous Arab. Four hundred and seven sunnies for violations of the motor vehicle law were served on motorists within twenty-four hours one time last week. That is the largest number ever served in the city in that space of time. During the first three weeks of May 4,884 violators of the motor ordinances were brought to police court. The only occupation in which American women have not yet engaged, according to a survey of the country just completed, is prize fighting. There is even one woman who manages bouts for her husband, the lightweight champion of his city. The 500 women sponsoring the exhibition of women's activities to be held here in September, count on having here representatives of the thousand of occupations to demonstrate the importance of woman's place in business and professions. The millionaire hawker is the latest figure among us. A whole tribe of peddlers have sprung to our curbstones, selling millions—in Austrian kronens. "Buy your Austrian kronen here," they cry. "Thousand kronen for a quarter. Worth $55." Every peddler is stocked with several million kronen in 1,000 kronen notes, resembling at first glance, cigar store coupons, and each one without a wrinkle of wear. Business has been brisk along the curbstones with those who are always ready to take a chance. At present exchange, the 1,000 kronen notes are worth 10 cents, giving a nice fifteen cent profit to these dealers. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company has undertaken a new job for the good of its public. It is delegating special squads of men to keep its passengers awake. On the night runs, it is not unusual to see half a dozen nap-taking citizens dozing in the subway cars. These are now brought to startled alertness by the booming cry of the guards as he slams from one car to another. "Everybody wake up!" he cries. "Watch your property. There are pickpockets on this train." The call is as magic as that of Paul Revere, and the sleepers come to instant attention. What you "say back" is what starts the fight. The more experience you have, the less you are sure about anything. Happiness is merely a matter of having a good time without going into debt for it. Your mind will improve faster if you stop arguing and begin to discuss. It is often the case that women who pretend to be shocked are really delighted.

A merely pretty poor specimen was for bad eggs, they are extinct, commercially never so bad, that its case there is always a place somewhere. Five grades of egg given to the word fresh no deal in eggs. The old buyer, doing the family in person, not by telephone not be surprised at a unpleasant discoveries if newly fresh eggs, in the re-creation are rather far scale. Fresh may mean dictionary, but it is acclimation no such guarantee in for delicatessen shop. One "fresh eggs" are eggs fresh." Strictly would seem to be that last word in reassurance, but not so. Let your eye roam along the line of frank and open egg crates and you will come to have a poor opinion of "strictly." A grade above "strictly fresh eggs" are "fancy eggs." God wot! The lining of march is about as follows in the most dependable shops: Fresh eggs. Strictly fresh eggs. Fancy eggs. Extra fancy eggs. Fancy new laid eggs. Guaranteed fancy new laid eggs. You gather from this how a retail shopkeeper ranks a mere "fresh egg." It amounts almost to scorn. As for good eggs, while some dealers still handel them, the best have no use for any eggs so low. In the bright lexicon of the egg dealer, the comparative of good is worse; the superlative worst. When an egg is too bad to be "good," it is made into egg powder and sold to the baker. But that is another story. 38 NEW WELLS STARTED The March chapter of the seventh annual report of the State oil and gas supervisor is now available at the various offices of the State Mining Bureau. The report contains notes on the use of core barrel with rotary tools; an article on the use of automatic bailer for oil recovery and a report on water conditions in northwesterly part of Cat Canyon Oil field. Oil field operations reported the week ending May 20, show 58 new wells started as compared with 29 the previous week. The total new wells this year is 522, compared with 594 the same date last year. Tests for water shut-off 50, compared with 43 previous week. Yearly total to date 622: total to same date last year 602. Deepening or redrilling jobs 16, compared with 18 preceding week.

Seems shame to their love pure. O. love, your eyes lose lure When I behold eyes blinded in my stead! Your slender attitude Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed. Rolling and rolling there Where God seems not to care; Till the fierce love they bear Cramps them in death's extreme decrepitude. Your voice sings not so soft—Though even as wind murmuring through rafted loft—Your dear voice is not dear, Gentle, and evening clear, As theirs whom none now hear Now earth has stop their piteous mouths that coughed. Heart, you were never hot, Nor large, nor full like hearts made with shot; And though your hand be pale, Paler are all which trail Your cross through flame and hail; Weep, you may weep, for you may touch them not. —Winifred Owen Overland Willys-Knight Anaheim Agency Sales and Service "Our experience is your guarantee of satisfaction."
