DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS All nights are sacred nights to make Confession and resolve and prayer; All days are sacred days to wake New gladness in the sunny air. —Helen Hunt Jackson. There is need of less talk and more thought in politics. If congress only worked with the alacrity that it talks! For its economic illis Europe should call in Dr. Self Help. The dead bandit no longer is a menace to life and property. It is the sea of bad moral influence that produces the waves of crime. Tariff talk is as old as the hills—and yet congress wastes time induging in this kind of talk! Life brings its disillusionments into young lives all too soon. Let the youngsters live as long as they can in the land of Santa Claus and of fairies. Woman is the Almighty's last word in creation, and she has insisted on not only being but having the last word. Few floods in a great river destroy values greater than it would cost to build a scientific flood-control system. Every day should be Flag Day in the sense that every day every loyal American should so live as to honor the Flag. The whole economic structure should be built upon co-operation that is divorced from extreme selfishness and greed. HALF MILLION PUPILS IN STATE'S SCHOOL In the public schools of California there are more than half a million pupils. Total average daily attendance in the elementary schools of the state is 429,316 and the total daily attendance in the high schools is 92,442. To carry on the vast school system in which this grand army of half a million boys and girls receive training, the state expends many millions of dollars annually besides that which is expended by counties, school districts and municipalities. Here is one of the greatest and most important plants in the state—a plant using human raw materials in its workings; a plant designed to turn out manly boys and womanly girls, equipped to go forth and sound out their educational training, either in institutions of higher learning or in the great University of Exigence. No question comes before the people of this state at any time of greater moment than the maintaining, expanding and bittering of the public schools. This is of such transcendent import that each and every import that each and every proposal for school extension or improvement should be studied with the liveliest interest by every citizen and each and every worthy proposal should have the earnest support of all. OUR DIVORCE LAWS We have a divorce law in California that provides divorced persons must wait a year before they re-marry. This is to bring about reconciliation wherever possible, and to make it impossible for a man or woman suddenly to divorce their mate and immediately marry. It is a good law. But it appears that it interferes with the plans of some. Three picture artists, at least are accused of avoiding it by slipping over to Mexicans and getting hitched without delay.

Every day should be Flag Day in the sense that every day every loyal American should so live as to honor the Flag. The whole economic structure should be built upon co-operation that is divorced from extreme selfishness and greed. The Indian and Pennsylvania Republican primaries are accepted by close observers as being straws which indicate the direction in which the political wind is blowing. Be careful of the companionships the children form during vacation. Many a child has been ruined by being permitted, by its parents, to run wild in the streets and alleys. For American financial interest to lend money to South American republics, in reasonable amounts and with adequate security, is good business and promotes commercial intercourse between this country and the republics of the south. Travel to and from the Pacific Coast has been heavy and will continue to be heavy during the summer, from present indications. Those who leave this state in most instances are going only on a visit to the old home "back yonder." But many who come here from the east either will remain now or will return later to make their home here. OUR DIVORCE LAWS We have a divorce law in California that provides divorced persons must wait a year before they marry.

But it appears that it interferes with the plans of some. Three picture artists, at least are accused of avoiding it by slipping over to Mexico and getting hitched without delay. We should except certain persons from this inconvenient statute, perhaps. And provide marriage license bureaus day and night, that they may be accommodated at their will. This would be tough on our neighboring Mexican justices, but it would keep the marriage fees in this country. With Europe's political brawls Uncle Sam will have nothing to do. Each and every voters should have a mind of his own and should use it at the polls. The humblest labor is dignified if it be useful and honest, and if it be done diligently. Each and every law should be obeyed in letter and in spirit. The fact that one does not like a law does not justify one in violating it. Education is not completed when the student leaves school. It is a continuing process. One should be learning at seventy, as well as at seventeen. There is the old fetter who, asked what paints with, answer sir! Babe Ruth battalion. We have it on Dr. A. E.

NEW YORK, June 7.—The horse-trading conferences on the four corners of the highways in days gone by have their successors. On the roads leading out of New York City, every Saturday and Sunday one comes upon the second hand auto mart, doing a brisk business. These markets, having advanced from "automobile row" to the yards of roadside garages, have finally taken to the open road. Persons with cars to sell are peddling them by traveling regular beats up and down the roads that are popular with motorists, with year, make and price ysoaped" on the windshields, and many a sale is made in this way over the week-end. In some cases the man with a second hand car to sell, electing to save gasoline and perhaps spare his weary motor, parks at the side of the road and waits for purchasers. It must work for motorists notice that many of the salesmen have different cars every Sunday. Hot! For the life of a bread wagon driver! New York is about to add one more business revolution to its streets. And as a result, the job of driving a delivery wagon for the General Bakings Company will become a university extension course and matinee combined, along of course, with the essential matter of delivering bread. The first application of radio to the commercial vehicle has been made by that concern in connection with its deliveries of Bond bread, and the main office will be able to keep in constant touch by radio with its branch offices, salesmen, ships and delivery trucks. The experiment has already been tried out in Philadelphia and found successful. Along with the business messages, the drivers and their assistants will get the concerts, market quotations, lectures and theatrical performances from the broadcasting stations in Newark. Business is becoming more romantic all the time—along with romance becoming more businesslike.

Babe Ruth bats with his brains. We have it on the authority of Dr. A. E. Winship of the Journal of Education that Ruth's big income is richly merited because "it is not the result of trick work, is not made at the disadvantage of anybody, not due to striking oil and not due to politics or business combination," but is the product of "pure intensified brain power such as no other American possesses." In other words, Dr. Winship says Ruth deserves as much salary as any five university presidents or any ten state commissions of education, because he has correspondingly more brains. It must be admitted, at any rate, that Ruth has a mighty good set of brains for his purpose, and uses them to good effect. He stands poised and ready, mind and body concentrated on the task before him. He sees the ball coming like lightning, appraises its speed, direction and curve in an incalculable fraction of a second, and at the same time decides just how he will hit it and where he will send it, and combines all his mental and physical force in one magnificent, supremely efficient whack. Would not the same combination of brain-power, alertness and will put any man at the top in his own line? All the world is a stage — and there are plenty of stage robbers. Back east they've turned the clocks back an hour. Couldn't do that out here—too many sundials. FOOLING OURSELVES "I know absolutely how to live to be 100 years old, and I don't practice what I know." That is the confession of Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health commissioner of New York. His admission sums up nearly everything in life. All of us have wisdom but we ignore it, as when we spend more than we know we can afford, or eat more than we know is good for us. We seek mythical panaceas, knowing in our hearts that we already have them in simple, old-fashioned horse sense. A man is flying around the world. That won't get him anywhere. "Everything in its place," says Josh Wise. "The perfume of beer-steak and onions is all right on the dinner table, but nobody'd ever use it on a handkerchief."

An old document is dug up in the records of the chamber of commerce of New York state. Dated 1783, it is a bill rendered by one John Cape. To a dinner given by His Excellency the Governor and Council to their Excellencies the Minister of France and General Washington & Co." The bill was around $750 for the 120-plate banquet. Items include 135 bottles of Madelra wine, 36 bottles port, 60 bottles beer, 30 bowls of punch. A charge of about $35 is made for "60 wine glasses and eight Cutt decanters broken." Maybe this explains why the past is so frequently referred to as "the experiment has already been tried out in Philadelphia and found successful.

Isn't this an attractive sounding costume—silver gray taffeta made with an accordian pleated skirt and a semi-fitted basque, gray silk stockings and grey suede pumps with colonial buckles? No, it isn't the flapper's outfit or the costuming of a new chorus. It's the uniform of the maids in several smart New York households. Only they are no longer called "uniforms." A woman who outfits all the Fifth avenue households says that is the most popular got-up this season and that it is particularly affected by people whose home and furnishings are in the Colonial style. Probably the last place in New York, or in the United States, for that matter, where one would expect to find portraits of Trottky and Lenin is just where you DO find them—in the office of Lleut, James J.
