DAILY GREETING TO READERS By words are things; and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think—Byron. Respect for law must be based upon laws which inspire respect. If the law cannot circumvent criminals, then indeed is this country in sorry plight. One of the trials of the overburdened taxpayer is the succession of mistrials in mystery murder cases. Europe is yet racked by threats of war. The hope persists that better counsels will prevail. But the danger that an explosion may occur is very real. Let the prosecution of war funds proceeds. Too long have the guilty gone unscathed of justice. The swindles and swindlers should be exposed and prosecuted as the gravity of their offenses warrant. For a long time experts and economic prognosticators have predicted that prosperity "is just ahead." But it is come to pass that prosperity is not ahead at all—the country is pretty well caught up with it. Not that it is here full tide, but there is an increased volume of thriving. This is unmistakable and as gratifying as it is sure. Good citizenship, of course, consists of decent living, proper regard for law, respect for government and the rights of others and maintenance of the canons of justice and fair dealing. It consists not alone of what one says or of outward displays. Patriotism, in other words, is what one is inside, rather than what one ostentatiously might pretend to be. STATE RIGHTS VS. PROGRESS The United States supreme court has decided that congress cannot use its interstate powers to suppress child labor. The principle of state rights stands between the children and their national protectors. The supreme court's decision accords with the constitution; but the constitution must be amended if American civilization is to advance at an even level. State rights, originally invoked to protect the confederated thirteen original colonies from a majority cabal against any of them, has become in disquieting respects an unintended bulwark of reaction. That is not to say state rights have had no beneficial effect upon America's development. But, there are manifest evils in too liberal an interpretation. It is necessary for American welfare that there be no permanent differences in the rate of progress of the various geographical divisions and that class legislation be suppressed. The tendency of American nationalism should be toward more centralized government when there are similar rights of all citizens to be protected. There is no just reason why all the officials of the several states and their subdivisions should be exempt from paying the federal income tax. Nor is it right that the states and their subdivisions should be privileged to issue tax free bonds. Divorce and marriage laws of all the states ought to be the same. Health regulations and attention to social welfare should not be at the mercy of 48 governing bodies. These are some of the matters that call for congressional control. FLOODS PREVALENT IN THE COLORADO The Colorado river has done and Well caught up with it. Not that it is here full tide, but there is an increased volume of thriving. This is unmistakable and as gratifying as it is sure. Good citizenship, of course, consists of decent living, proper regard for law, respect for government and the rights of others and maintenance of the canons of justice and fair dealing. It consists not alone of what one says or of outward displays. Patriotism, in other words, is what one is inside, rather than what one ostentatiously might pretend to be. A special drive to render grade crossings safe is to be made under auspices of the American Railway Association, strictly speaking, no grade crossing can be made absolutely safe. But the number of serious crossing accidents can be reduced. The public should co-operate — especially those who drive automobiles. Remember the slogan, "Cross Crossings Cautiously." California must be protected against influx of non-assimilable Asiatics. If existing laws do not meet the situation, other legislation should be enacted. In land ownership, particularly, this state should be safeguarded against an invasion of Orientalists who are ineligible to citizenship and who would be a menace to the state. Land ownership here should be estricted or those who are eligible to become citizens and who are intending to become citizens. FLOODS PREVALENT IN THE COLORADO The Colorado river has done and is doing a vast deal of damage in the Palo Verde Valley, in the east end of Riverside county. Congress is being urged to give immediate relief, and probably will do so. But the relief that should be given to the Palo Verde and Imprial valleys in California, and other valleys along the lower course of the Colorado, should be permanent relief. Building of the projected Boulder Dam would remove this protentious menace of the floods. There will be periodic destructive overflows until that great work is put through to consummation. It will require several years, it is true, to complete that work. But the anticipation or it would enhearten ranchers in these valleys which are subject to occasional floodings. This prevention of floods is only one of the many great benefits that would accrue from the building of the proposed dam.

The unusual rains and floods occurring in So. Cal. this past winter not only caused a good deal of direct damage but they opened the way for indefinite amounts of indirect damage. For example the excessive luxuriant growth of wild oats and other herbage will bring great danger from fires when thoroughly dried by the summer sun. In addition to this danger each excessive growth also provides plenty of forage for insects and rodents the increasing numbers of which will attack cultivated plants as wild forage falls. An excellent example of such results (though not now so very prominent) is afforded by a small snail which has appeared in vast numbers in certain localities and near La Jolla. This snail is a native of Sicily and its scientific name is Helix pisana. It was first discovered in a small canyon in La Jolla eight years ago and so far as yet known it stayed in that canyon until this year when it appeared at the Scriptos Biological Station north of La Jolla and at a point on the north shore of Mission Bay a few miles south. Just how it got to La Jolla no one seems to know although experts think that it may have come on nursery stock or in shell collection brought by some thusiast. Fortunately it has been disposed to live on wild vegetation and to give cultivated plants alone, but the winter rains caused such rapid increase in numbers that cultivated plants have been attacked to one extent. After a recent light rain the animals could be plecked up hand-fols in a roadway on static grounds which they were evidently trying to cross to get to better fed supplies. This fact indicates that they might be very difficult to control in a moist climate. Sixty three the injuries to citrus plants and there has been some complaint of injury to such plants in La Jolla if allowed to spread in California they might do very serious injury. Apparently the only successful method of fighting this pest is by re- and the station grounds have recently been thoroughly burned over an effort to get rid of it.

They talk about safe robbers. Looks as if robbers are too safe. The kids always talk after dad when they need new clothes. A soft answer turneth away wrath, but a soft head draws it. speciment of the La Jolla pest. Another element of difficulty is noted by Mr. Fleming who has given some one to study of the animals. He says that they lay eggs about one inch deep in damp earth, that there are about 30 eggs in a cluster and that it takes about a month for them to hatch. (They look like tapioca). Once snails are hermaphroditic this means that every individual snail is producing eggs at that rate. Ten snails will probably be increased to at least 300 in a month, to at least 9,000 in three months and to nearly or over 300,000 in five months. The eggs are covered by earth and are hard to kill, the animals are covered by shell and are hard to kill and no one knows of any animals that feed upon them. It certainly appears that this pest deserves some serious thot in an effort to prevent its spread over the state. I have heard that public authorities are considering a seven years campaign against it. Various people have tried eating these snails and they say that their flavor is excellent. Using them for food has been suggested as a good method of attack, but their small size is likely to keep them from becoming a popular form of diet. Other means of attack is needed. Town in Review Woman accuser of Woolwine says she registered at San Pedro hotel as being from San Diego. The reason she didn't register from Los Angeles, curious folks, is because she wanted to divert suspicion. Fifty high school boys looking for vacation jobs. Think of the pants they could press!
