DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The love is the priceless thing. The treasure our treasure must hold, Or ever the Lord will take the gift, Or tell the worth of the gold, By the love that cannot be told. —Harriet McEwen Kimball. Ohio is never ready to believe that the Presidential lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Fire is a horribly destructive agency. Its ravages bring utter ruin. That which burns, is gone forever. Even though Mars may be inhabited, there is no evidence that the Martians are seeking to be on speaking terms with the earth. Herbert C. Hoover is a sworn foe of profiteering. He is doing splendidly in forestalling would-be extortionists during the coal strike. Many a staid, dignified man of affairs gladly would relinquish a large portion of his possessions if he could go back over the course of the years and be a barefoot, care-free boy again. Unfairness, misrepresentation and mudslinging in politics are as reprehensible as in any other relation or activity of life. There is no good reason why political campaigning should not be clean and fair. President Harding and the Senate at cross purposes is affording Washington correspondents interesting material during a dull season. The impending conflict, however, may end almost before it begins. When there are no floods the people relax efforts to bring flood control. There should be resolute effort, steadily maintained, to bring about EUROPE BRAVELY TAKES UP PEACE WORK There is more or less tendency, on this side of the Atlantic, to lecture Europe, and to say that they should do so-and-so, over here, or that they should not do such-and-such. Truth is, all things considered, the greater part of Europe has done and is doing amazingly well in putting the World War behind and in courageously taking up the problems and the duties and responsibilities of peace. Even Russia, were it not for the distressing confusion of its political regime, would be recovering by this time. The countries that felt the cruel hand of warfare most relentlessly are the first to put their economic houses in order so far as they are able to do so, and to begin the work of restoration. It is true that Europe is "bled white" financially. It is true that there must be administered some economic restorative beyond the resources of the masses of the people over there. But the splendid morale of the European masses should hasten the evolving of some practicable method of bulwarking the economic situation. Psychologically, Europeans, for the most part, are coming out of the horrors of the World War admirably. This is true of Great Britain, France Belgium, Italy. And reports from Germany indicate that the German people are resuming the productive activities for which they were noted before the great war.

The impending conflict, however, may end almost before it begins. When there are no floods the people relax efforts to bring flood control. There should be resolute effort, steadily maintained, to bring about scientific curbing of streams which are subject to frequent inundations. The American people, in their prompt and generous giving, have served the suffering people of Russia far better than has the Soviet government. These philanthropic ministrations reflect unbounded credit upon this Nation and people. When San Francisco or Los Angeles entertains a great conclave like that of the Shriners or the Rotarians, the hospitality shown is of the generous, gracious kind that makes visitors thoroughly pleased and in a mood to come back again. The utmost degree of democracy should prevail in high schools, colleges and universities. No snobbishness and no discriminations or distinctions based on class considerations or worldly possessions should be tolerated. WHO ARE THE GREATEST AMERICAN WOMEN Who are the greatest twelve American women, living today? The National League of Women Voters passed the problem of selecting them on to the Women's Joint Congressional Committee. And that organization feels that it should have man-help in choosing, hence five prominent men will be asked to assist. Request that a list be made of twelve women who are prominent in this country today came from a woman writer for Chilean publications. He would be a rashly brave man who would undertake, offhand, or even after careful study, to rush in where these feminine "angels fear to tread." If the task were to select the greatest twelve American women since the founding of the Nation—women living or dead—the task would be simpler. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frances E. Willard, Clara Barton, Julia W. Howe, Susan B. Anthony—these are a few. One could add to these names others of illustrious standing in the Hall of Fame. There are great living women—in truth, so many of them, that the choosing of any twelve of them as being pre-eminent would be a very delicate thing to do. DANZ PIANO CO.

Their crime was only that of sleeping in summer houses in Central Park, but they made an impressive and intriguing line before the magistrate's desk just the same. One of the interesting districts of Manhattan is the Kips Bay region, in the extreme eastern blocks of the Forties and Fifties. Here, in what was the Island's aristocratic regions long ago and then became given over to slums, a new Bohemianism has taken hold. It is franker than the Latin Quartier atmosphere of Greenwich Village; but as varied in its interests and as experimental in its attitude toward life. The most tenements of the neighborhood, built for the worthy workingmen's families have been taken as the homes of these intruders. At last this district has been used as the principal setting for a novel, "The Love Chase," by Felix Grendon. It is the story of rebellion from the hypocrisies and pettiness that obtain in many of the marriages of today; the failure and fallacies of free-love as tried by some of the model tenement dwellers in their reactions, honest or otherwise, from the conventional bonds; and the solution in a marriage of comradeship and equality. Mr. Crendon has succeeded in making his "love chase" a serious search for answers to several problems and has achieved that unusual thing—a sympathetic and gripping story of a purpose without obtrusive propaganda. The book is being discussed among feminist circles more than any novel since Anne Veronica, by H. G. Wells. It holds an added interest here in New York because of the fact that the characters are drawn pretty closely from life and those who are well acquainted with the more radical group have been able to recognize several of them. In fact, one of the pet twirler appeared when he expressed a willingness to shake the hand of so good a performer. The press agents were of course not adverse to this little scheme and it was arranged to have the Marshal and Babe meet outside in the alley back of the theater. This they did and of course the Moving Picture people were on the job, and before he knew it the Great Soldier was being taught how to twirl the sphere by our own Babe. Can't you just imagine the use that will be made of these pictures in the future? Is the world growing more testy? There have been times when one may have had an impulse to murder over comparatively minor matters of conduct—but one didn't do it. The other day, though, Dominick De Raffelle, 186 Forsyth street, was drenched with water three times by Salvadore Pirone, who lived above him and insisted upon watering his window box thoroughly, regardless of the fact that his downstairs neighbor was sitting on the stoop below. Diminick is 70 years old and objects to such treatment. Twice he remonstrated. The third time, he left the stoop, procured a revolver and shot Salvadore dead. WISE AND WITTY Dream may be suppressed wishes, as Freud says; but who ever wished a devil would chase him? Jazz is popular because they can play the same piece over and you don't recognize it. John D. evidently wants his daughter to marry a garage keeper instead of a horseman. When you see a shirt hanging on the clothes line, it may mean that father is at home. You can't sit on your hands and A doctor can write out for you a list of the chemicals or elements that make up your body. He might give you the exact quantities of each. You could go to a drugstore and buy the list, mix the stuff together, and say: "There is a duplicate of my body." It all resolves itself down to simple elements. And yet there is a difference between the drug store chemicals and the actual body. That difference is something that cannot be measured. It has no weight. It is invisible. The spirit, which gives motion and consciousness to the chemical machine known as the human body, is something entirely separate and apart. Our bodies are like railroad locomotives. The engine stands on a sidetrack, motionless, dead. The engineer (soul) steps into the cab, Life begins. As the coal burns up, more fuel—corresponding to food—is shoveled in. Gradually, despite repairs, the locomotive (body) wears out. It goes to the junk heap—death. What becomes of the engineer, or soul? Does it move over to another locomotive? How much would you give to know what locomotive you will drive hereafter? SHAME, GIRLS, FOR MISLEADING THIS POOR OLD MAN: Ambassador Harvey appeared at the British court Thursday night in knickerbockers. There are many ready to criticise the colonel for this. But we hope the girls who have been setting the example are satisfied with the mischief they have done. A MODEST FELLER After some very appropriate musical selections rendered by the band and a male quintet, the following bit of rhymes, written by the editor of The Signal, was read. (It was not the intention of the Signal man to publish these lines as a part of this record, but because of a number of requests for a copy of it were promised to do so and give them places as they were introduced in the program of the day.)—Camel Fulton (O.) Signal In spite of the fact that financial experts are saying business is better, it is. BACK TO NORMALCY Washington has stopped saving daylight and isn't saving anything now. James H. Lewis, the oldest actor on the American stage, is now playing in town, and enriching the memories of other old New Yorkers with his reminiscences. On the site of the present Astor Theatre, at Broadway and Forty-fifth street, where he is now playing, Mr. Lewis once shot rabbits. It was a field, then overgrown with trees and shrubbery. He was born here in 1837 and has been almost continually on the stage since he made his debut in 1857. He played with Edwin Forrest, Edwin Booth Lawrence Barrett, John McCullough, Charlotte Cushman, Mary Anderson and other stars of past generation. Mr. Lewis has a determination never to leave the stage but to die in harness. One remarkable thing about him is that he doesn't gild "the good old days," but insists that the modern stage shows a big improvement over the old, both in stage craft and acting. Eloven million gallons of ice cream are manufactured in New York City every year. There is balm for the decriers of "the modern girl" in this incident. The daughter of a wealthy up-state business man left home recently, "bored with doing nothing," as she explained. She wandered into New York and made a comfortable living for a while by painting flowers and decorations on candy boxes. Meanwhile all the neighbors at home were sighing over the thought that girls just would not be domestic any longer and stay at home and do women's work. One day this girl visited the manager of a well-known hotel here and begged him to allow her to experiment in the hotel's capacious kitchens, baking a chocolate cake which had been the delight of her friends at home. "Go ahead," the hotel magnate replied, at last. After a week of experimenting the cake was such a success that she has given it her own first name and is advertising it on posters thusly: "Mary Evelyn found the cake the angels bake." Talk about the domestic arts being left behind! The stories of Marshal Foch will never die out, so active was he while in our midst.

CENTER ST. ANAHEIM COMMENTS of the Press What Editors Are Saying HISTORICAL TREASURES FOUND—New York Evening Post Since a stubborn Congress in 1853 refused the appropriation needed to complete the publication of Peter Force's "American Archives," our government has done less than it should to disinter and print historical manuscript. We do not overlook the help it has given the American Historical Association, or the valuable publications of the Library of Congress, the State Department, and the Bureau of Education. We do not forget that it gives us Van Buren's Autobiography and the beautiful volumes of the Journal of the Continental Congress for a dollar apiece. But it has left an immense untouched field to the Carnegie Institution. The way in which the institution's department of historical research is delving into it excites the gratitude of every historical scholar. The Carnegie Institution has underway the collection of Andrew Jackson's correspondence, to be published under the editorship of Old Hickory's ablest biographer, John Spencer Bassett. It has just published the first volume of a series containing the letters of the members of the Continental Congress, a work which should throw great light upon national and state history. An equally valuable series is being prepared for publication—the debates of Parliament upon North America. In his latest report, Director J. Franklin Jameson announces that he hopes to carry through a set of volumes of the "Correspondence of British Ministers in Washington." Meanwhile the Institution is pressing the work of compiling guides for materials which must long, if not always, remain unprinted. A guide to documents of American interest in Paris archives is almost complete, while a calendar of documents relating to the Mississippi Valley is in hand. West India papers in London, papers in Dutch archives, and papers in the Irish Public Record Office are also being surveyed. We have had no national body comparable with the British Historical Manuscripts Commission, which dates from 1869, and have let Canada's archivists get far ahead of us in this branch of research. A good calendar often summarizes the materials inspected so well as to serve itself as a historical source book. No division of the Carnegie Institution is doing more useful work than the department of historical research. The Parson Progressive Rummaging through the editorial desk this morning we found a publication from which the following excerpt is offered as a fair sample of "the rampant radicalism running loose in this country, poisoning the pure stream of 100 per cent patriotism"—or something like that: "Of all the disgusting products which came out of the war, the so-called American patriots who sought to close the mouth of every critic of social conditions in America were probably the most disbusting and least worthy of respect. From being a nation in which freedom of speech was permitted, America became a nation intolerant of social expression which did not lishing society, Boston, Mass!" And, yet some folks are saying: "The church is so darn conservative we don't go any more!" We would hate to be rich enough to have a Swiss yodler want to marry our granddaughter.
