DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We determine the future by the present. If today we do today's duty, tomorrow we shall be able to do tomorrow's duty. If today we are willing to have hard duties laid on us, tomorrow we shall not decline tomorrow's hard work.—Anonymous. Saying it by radio no longer is a novelty. Self-love is a bad thing when it becomes an infatuation. Good intention is the raw material action is the finished product. The greatest blessing Genoa ever gave the world was Christopher Columbus. That which is acquired or achieved through dishonesty and greed is not real success. After all, there is no power in the world so strong, no impelling motive so great, as love. Labor and capital should be friendly partners, not antagonists indulging in feuds and reprisals. Economic readjustment is spoken of now more in the present tense and less in the future tense. The person who retains his or her honesty and good principles can never go bankrupt, as to character. Safeguard the children while it is yet time to keep them from the pollution infliction. SHIP SUBSIDY'S FATE IS IN BALANCE Ship subsidy will be pressed before Congress, as an admonition measure. President Harding is insisting that this legislation be enacted at this session of Congress. Reports from Washington indicate that there will be serious opposition to passage of the measure at this session. The President is exerting his influence to the utmost to bring about its enactment. This situation being watched with keen interest, to see how great is Mr. Harding's influence with Congress, and whether or not he can obtain legislative action against strong opposition. American shipping is in sad plight. Some form of legislation that would start it toward rehabilitation and permanent growth would be welcomed. To start this upbuilding would be the greatest material benefit to the United States. This is an extremely opportune time to inaugurate a settled, sagacious policy as affecting the United States merchant marine. Every maritime power following the demoralization of shipping by the World War, is looking forth and planning for peaceful conquests of the seas. The United States must act, and that without delay, to promote its mercantile marine, or else be outdistanced in commercial development overseas by other enterprising powers.

Safeguard the children while it is yet time to keep them from the polluting influence of vicious companions. Some of that which is brewing in politics is against the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. The coal strike strikes the public as being an unnecessary evil, hurtful to labor, to capital and to the public. Keep in the open air as much as possible. This is a boon that manifests itself in sound, vigorous health. Bolivia has just arranged to borrow $30,000,000 in the United States. Europe would like to know just how it is done. Good impulses may be overtaken by the sleeping sickness. But bad impulses keep wideawake and on the alert. Pity that the house cleaning in connection with movie pictures cannot be made to include the taste of patrons. Conscience, to be one's safe guide, must not be blind and deaf and dumb, so to speak. It must be alive, alert and discriminating. The best promotional advertising California gets is from its loyal friends, who voice its praises whenever and wherever praising will accomplish good. WAR FRAUD ARREST MADE IN FLAGRANT CASE The first arrest ordered for alleged fraud in connection with World War contracts is directed against J. L. Phillips, chairman of the Republican State Committee of Georgia. This seems to give earnest of sincerity and good faith on the part of the federal authorities in pressing the prosecution of war frauds. Other indictments are to be expected soon from the federal grand jury, is the information which comes from Washington. Frauds in lumber contracts, in particular, are under investigation at this time. Without fear, favoritism or hesitation these cases should be pressed. There has been too much delay already. Example should be made of each and every individual or corporation that has swindled the government. These prosecutions should proceed relentlessly, without political coloring, solely with intent to convict the guilty, whoever they may be, and to inflict suitable punishment upon them. Gifford Pinehot has become conspicuous enough again in politics for the average person to re-learn how he pronounces his name. In future, it will be in order, when one says one's prayers at bedtime, to supplicate the Lord to prevent an airplane coming down, by accident, through the roof, with deadly effect. Ohio, of course, stands ready to fill the Presidency in 1924, with one of its sons. It is come to pass that the Buckeye State feels a bit hurt of the Nation does not elect one of its "favorite sons" President every four years.

These crudes must be refined to preserve their original characteristics and to make them pure. In selecting crudes for Zerolene the Standard Oil Company has the advantage of its own large production of practically every type of crude. The company is not compelled to use any particular crude because it happens to be the only one available. Crudes selected for Zerolene are brought to our refineries in special pipe lines. They are refined by our own patented, high-vacuum process which preserves their "oiliness" and stability. No other refiner on the Pacific Coast uses any form of vacuum distillation. No other refiner in the United States uses as high a vacuum as this company. Purity Essential Zerolene oils are pure. This company has always considered the removal of all detrimental properties and compounds as essential in making Zerolene.

Simmons Price NEW YORK, June 8—The youngest family that ever left Ellis Island to cross the continent—four children from Germany, orphaned by the war—the other day began the last lap of their 7,000 mile journey from their native country to San Francisco. The eldest child is twelve years old. They have been adopted by a California woman. The subway hat snatcher is the latest and quickest worker among us. Men fortunate enough to have brand new and expensive Panama hats this season have been their chief victims. The subway windows are usually open and just as the train is pulling out of a station, a hand darts in at the window in front of which site the Panama-hatted one, grabs the hat, and the train pulls the beft man out of all hopes of catching the thief. The first picture ever painted under water has been brought to New York by Asa Cassidy, a local artist. It is entitled "The Garden Spot of the Seas," and is the result of two months' work in a submarine tank. It is being exhibited at Mr. Cassidy's home, on West 108th street. If you have an infinitesimal fraction of ownership in a lion, does that give you a right to take his picture? Such is one of the questions of our city just now. The ordinance prohibits the taking of photographs in any public park of the city without a special permit. The ordinance is ignored by the police, however, except in the case of Bronx Zoological Parks. Anyone entering there must check their cameras at the gate. Now several photographing citizens of our metropolis are protesting. The taxpayers own the animals, don't they? Well then, haven't they a right to go and take a simple little photograph.

WHAT a funny face. NO "ideal lover" is he. NEVER any scandal about him. YES, it's homely old Will Rogers. "MY screen career remarkable," he says. "CAME out with the same wigs I went in with." THAT'S homely, happy, beloved Will Rogers. LOVER'S PRAYER Go far, dear heart, though many miles shall lie Between my door and heights your strength shall win; I know your dreams are of a fairer sky And mountains where new visions may begin. Go far, and know the sweets of victory, But not so far you come not back to me!

The Passenger — Naw, but I never take unfair advantage of my life insurance company. HE MUST BE MARRIED Hooks and eyes are a crude, unsatisfactory, haffling and bedeviling means of fastening dresses, as most married men will testify. It is an industry that should not be encouraged. Let us hope that modern progress, having furnished us wireless telegraphy, heatless cookery and the horse-less carriage, will next discover the hookless and eyeless dress. Hooks and eyes are made of brass, plated with tin, coated with Japan, located with difficulty and connected with the most strenuous and agonizing endeavor. They are made by automatic machinery; would they could be fastened, Mr. President, in the same way. From the experience I have had, it seems to me that the number of hooks and eyes on each dress is almost infinite and hopelessly invisible.—Senator Sheppard, Texas. POEM (Apology to Gilbert & Sullivan) By a battered typewriter a columist sat, Moaning, "Darn it, goldarn it, goldarn it!" And I said to him, "Columist, who do you sit Singing, "Darn it, goldarn it goldarn it?" With a shake of his poor li'l head he replied, "I haven't got an idea anywhere in my hide! Oh, darn it, goldarn it, goldarn it." G. O. Bump claims he invented the telephone some years before Bell. It is very sporty for him to take the blame. Biting off more than you can chew is better than going hungry. MEAT EATING Back in 1907, the average American ate 180 pounds of meat a year. This has dropped to 150 pounds a year. Meat-eating has been declining since city men discovered that a heavy noon-day lunch tends to make them loggy for the rest of the day. On the other hand, especially among women, light lunchers incline to become candy traders. In solving one problem we usually create a new one in its place. Of course it had to come! And now that it's here, it is certainly effective—on the stage. The radium-painted frock! One of the choruses of "Good Morning, Dearie," appears now with bits of radium over the costumes, and flashes about most intriguingly on a darkened stage. Wills are not always solemn. Frederick E. Castle, of Newark, whose will was probated the other day, wrote it in these words, and none others: "All my earthly goods I have in store, To my dear wife I leave for evermore, I freely give—no limit do I fix, This is my will and she the executrix." One thousand girls from factories and shops in New York will spend one week on the Vasser College campus, at Poughkeepsie as guests of the college. Fifty members of this year's senior class will remain to act as hostesses, to the girls who are members of the National League of Girls' Clubs. Their twelfth biennial convention will be held during the week. The graduates of the Institute of Musical Art threw aside academic seriousness the other night and gawed one of the snappiest revues of the season as a part of their commencement week festivities. "Jazz a la Carte" it was called, and it burlesqued pretty nearly everything serious in the music world. The student proved what might be interesting to musical comedy managers — that understanding of music, technique and above all lovely, well-trained voices can be just as valuable in putting over that sort of thing as on the concert or grand opera stages. It never occurred to William S. Dunn, taxi chauffeur, that taxicabs get hungry, too. So it was considerable of a shock to him the other day, to come out of a restaurant where he had gone for a quick lunch, and find his taxi missing from the spot where he had left it. As he was unfolding his tale of trouble to the patrolman on the beat, the taxi was discovered and half way out of a gift you right to take his picture?

Now several photographing citizens of our metropolis are protesting. The taxpayers own the animals, don't they? Well then, haven’t they a right to go and take a simple little photograph of their possessions? But it seems not. Forget, dear heart, the long and tollsome way. The grim night’s question if the dawn be fair. The burning moon, the gloom of ending day— All travail of the years the brave must bear. Yet in heart there is this prayer and plea: Forgetting these, dear heart, forget not me! —Arthur Wallace Peach, in Life. Wise and Witty Fame lies ahead of you and not behind. Some men never get to be quitters because they never start. IT'S A DULL month when a railroad strike isn't threatened. Repenting after you are found out doesn't do you much credit. R. VALENTINO is freed, and a million young girls breath normally again. One way to stop divorce would be to make it easy and marriage difficult. "America is smoking 18 per cent less tobacco," say dealers. And 18 per cent more what? WE SEE rumored uprisings in Tabasco Mexico. How could they help it, with that name? THE U. S. RAILWAY BOARD has ordered a cut in railwaymen’s wages. There is no truth in the rumor that the railways are seeking an injunction to prevent the board handing down this decision. Typewriters The R. A. Tiernan Typewriter Co. wishes to announce MEAT EATING Back in 1907, the average American ate 136 pounds of meat a year. This has dropped to 150 pounds a year. Meat-eating has been declining since city men discovered that a heavy noon-day lunch tends to make them loggy for the rest of the day.

WHEW LOS ANGELES HAS AN AURA — Headline in L. A. Examiner. "What will the 1923 bathing girl wear?" asks a fashion expert, beginning an article. Don't make us blush.

The height of a small boy's ambition is about six feet. In Maryland, we read, it is illegal for a woman to go through her husband's pockets at night. In our own country it is merely a waste of time, says Punch (London). Hint to June Bridegrooms: Many a kitten turns out to be a bear cat. The man with a line of talk is usually fishing for something, says Lil Koo Koo, the office scamp. Things in China would improve if the world would only let the Chinese have a little to say about their own affairs. Few women can resist the temptation of buying things and having them charged. J. E.

OSBORNE Phone Anaheim 344WK Phone Fullerton 254 Thursday, June 8, 1922 Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying COURAGE IS INSPIRING Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette A story is told in a recent Etude, in relation to the good which may be accomplished by community singing, which seems to have wider application and to dig deeper down into fundamentals of life than even the good cause for whose benefit it was told. "When that terrible plague, the black death, swept over Europe in the fourteenth century, whole cities were wiped out and thousands of homes became pest-houses. One citizen remained in his home and gradually watched all traffic in the streets cease. It was a city of death; not a soul stirred in any of its avenues. Finally this man decided he was not going to die like a rat in a hole, especially since it was Christmas Eve. He bravely put on his hat and went into the streets singing a carol. A window opened and one panic-stricken man called to him, then another, until twenty-five souls marched out of town to the top of a high hill, all singing. "Instead of waiting in their little houses, in despair, for death, they took on new spirit, and not one of the group died. The music saved them." The man who says, in extremity, "Well, if I've got to face the worst, I may as well do it with my head up," is the man who puts things over and seldom meets defeat. And in the few cases when defeat or death does get him, his name goes down the centuries, bringing new hope and courage to those who come after. HENRY FORD takes Russia philosophically.

Henry is willing that any people on earth shall pick their EDUCATED BUT ILLITERATE Santa Ana, (Cal) Register As a corrective for "illiteracy among the educated," Dr. McCracken, president of Vassar College, presents four resolutions on the subject of reading. They are: "First, that we will remember what we read. It would be far better for all of us if we read less and remembered more. "Second, that we will think over what we read. "Third, that we will apply what we read. Nine books in ten that we read are not read in order to apply them to life, but to distract our minds fro mlife. Books are a dissipation, a scattering of our energies, not a charging and strengthening of them. "Fourth, that we will grow with our reading. Most of us used one elementary book after another, with no direction or plan. We never think. Where is our reading taking us? We never stop to think that books are steps upward. Let us go to school to our books, we educated illiterates, and not stay always in the first grade." It is true that although more people are reading than ever before, there is also more shiftless reading, shiftless in choice of matter and method of perusal. And this mark of "illiteracy" is upon those who should know better, as well as upon those from whom, because of lesser advantages, less should be expected.
