DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Think clearly and independently and reason soundly in politics. Be loyal to some political party, but not slavishly so. Base your loyalty upon conscientious convictions. Disabled World War veterans never should want for any comfort or necessity of life. They should receive the tender ministrations of a grateful government and people. One cannot measure up to the full requirements of good citizenship unless one studies public questions earnestly and forms intelligent opinions and conscientious convictions thereon, and then acts according to one's intelligence and convictions. By prolonging its sessions during the summer, Congress is depriving the Pacific Coast and Alaska of a visit by President Harding. He is eager to come and would come, if Congress would expedite its work and adjourn finally. But Congress will not. Industrial problems cannot be settled equitably and with finality by appealing to the law of tooth and fang. For labor and capital to be at loggerheads and frequently to engage in bitter strife is hurtful to both classes, besides being very damaging to the public. America has produced many women of great talents and great fame, whose works are resplendent in the Hall of Fame. In war and peace their genius and their gentleness, their brains and their hearts have been in the forefront of great thoughts and masterly achievements. Nothing is sweeter or more loveable than a little child whose baby GEN. DAWES SUCCEEDS WITH BUDGET The picturesque figure and the perfervid profanity of Brig.-Gen. C. G. Dawes are to be missed from official Washington. The Nation's first Director of the Budget is retiring from his post after one year's service. Upon relinquishing his position, General Dawes says that "the government not only can be run as economically as a private business, but more economically than a private business." His achievements during the first year with the budgetary system show that very substantial savings may be made in conducting governmental business. In the year of General Dawes' administration, government expenses have been reduced, it is asserted, the grand total sum of $1,741,000,000. It is claimed that approximately half of this enormous sum was saved by General Dawes' methods. The budget system should be upheld and should be carried forward and bettered, as experience indicates where betterments could be made. The business of the government should be conducted according to strict business principles. The most scrupulous care should be exercised at all times, just as in carefully-managed private business, to effect economics through sound management and perspicacity. EDITORIAL ASTRONOMY IN WONDERS THAT ENTHRALL Nearness of Mars to the earth and wide spread comment on the phenomenon directs attention of the failure to the wonders of astronomical science.

America has produced many women of great talents and great fame, whose works are resplendent in the Hall of Fame. In war and peace their genius and their gentleness, their brains and their hearts have been in the forefront of great thoughts and masterly achievements. Nothing is sweeter or more loveable than a little child whose baby feet, ur-developed and uncertain, carry the little one to many a tumble and whose little tongue lips haltingly the words that are learned at mother's knee. Innocent, untarnished, as fair and dainty as a fairy, the precious little bundle of humanity appeals to the tenderness of all. The United States has no desire to harass Mexico, or to bulldose it in any way. But the government and people of this country cannot view with indifference the outraging of well-disposed American citizens resident in Mexico. Firm insistence will be made that the Mexican government control the bandits who are guilty of these outrages. IT USUALLY STARTS SOMETHING He: Do you believe in platonic love?

A French scientist has found that even the most delicate fruit can be kept fresh for a year by thoroughly washing it and sealing it hermetically in jars filled with sterile water. ASTRONOMY IN WONDERS THAT ENTHRAIL Nearness of Mars to the earth and wide spread comment on the phenomenon directs attention of the laity to the wonders of astronomical science. This great planet is called "near" when it comes within more than 40,000,000 miles of the earth. Forty million miles! Who can conceive of such immensity of distance. And yet that distance is as the span from front door to kitchen door compared with the circumference of the earth, where comparison of 40,000,-000 is made with the immensity of distance some of the stars are from the earth. There is something awesome, thrilling and enthralling about astronomy to the studious layman. He may know little, technically, about the science. But let him gaze through the giant telescope on Mount Wilson and see Jupiter as large, under the magnifying glass, as the earth's full moon, and see Saturn and its wondrous rings, and the moons of these planets, as large, under the telescope as the planets themselves are to the naked eye—then one is thrilled beyond expression—in truth, trying to express one's feelings is a cheap, tawdry presumption in such circumstances. Who can behold these majesties and sublimities of the heavens without feeling to the very depths of his soul, that there must be—that there verily is an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God who created the universe and who rules it with His almighty hand? Are You in Step? New conditions require intensive work and greater efficiency. The best brains in the country are urging you to adopt modern efficiency methods. Chas. G.

A DEBATE A negro philosopher, living on a farm near Cleveland, Ohio, drew the money end of a debate on this question: "Which is the more valuable—an education or money?" The negro won the debate with this line of reasoning: "Just go to a butcher shop, say, 'Gimme an education' worth o' pork chops'—an' see what you get." New York Letter NEW YORK, July 5—City Controller Craig thinks the city should have an advertising department. He fears that New York has had a great deal of adverse publicity. That may be quite true, but somehow I have always felt from outsiders' attitude that our adverse publicity, emphasizing all our wickedness, has a lure for the rest of the world fully as strong as all the sweet pretty things that could be said about us. A memorial to the dog heroes of the war has been erected at the Canine cemetery at Hartsdale, one of our most attractive suburbs. It is a Belgian police dog in bronze, his head turned towards the roadway as he looks down from the top of a rustic granite block. He wears a knapsack and on the ground at his feet are a bronze helmet and canteen. The $2,500 which it cost was contributed in small amounts varying from 50 cents to $100. The Hartsdale Canine cemetery, by the way, is the only permanent burial ground for pets in the country. It was established in 1896 and it shelters many a strange little tomb. There is the sarcophagus of "Goldfleck, the beautiful lion," and tiny graves of canaries. Dogs, however, greatly predominate among the sleepers there. We have been hearing some sad walls of distress recently from authors whose stories have been pictured without living quite up to what their creators felt they should. It is occasion for joy, therefore, to hear one author who has always been considered an especially severe critic of the pictureurization of his own stories raise his voice in praise of the screen result. This is James Oliver Curwood, author of the book from which the big new Vitagraph picture, "Flower of the North," has been made. Mr. Curwood is delighted with that certainly means that the rest of the public ought to be. They will be, too. Mr. Curwood says, "I am accused of being an ultra-severe critic of the pictureurization of my own stories, but fact that the business depression is behind us." Facts, moreover, are behind the statement. May was the biggest month the automotive industry has yet known. Building construction has boomed to the stage where 231 principal industries Wonder what the man who names race horses thinks about them after he gets sober again?

ELKS EN ROUTE TO ANNUAL MEET Elks from every lodge in California will attend the annual reunion of the grand lodge, which opens at Atlantic City July 10, continuing for one week. J. Leslie Swope is the official delegate of Anaheim lodge. He left recently. A special train will leave Los Angeles this afternoon at four o'clock with approximately 100 Elks aboard, including many past exalted rulers and other leading members. At Salt Lake City and other cities other coaches will be picked up. Southern California and the Pacific slope will be plentifully advertised by the delegates by means of literature. Fentures of the wock will include a pageant on Thursday which President Herding and General Pershing will review. CALL FORREPORTS OF CALIF. BANKS Announcement of a national bank call as of June 30 was made today. A state bank call also has been issued. What a comfort there is sometimes just in seeing familiar faces whether they mean anything to you or not! Anyone who does not realize that never yet known what it is to be lonely. An elderly man appeared so many nights at the same musical comedy that the box office man got interested. He didn't look like a romantic person who had "fallen for" one of the girls in the show, and he certainly didn't look as though he were thinking of investing in the production. Finally he asked him. Why do I come so often?" he repeated. "Well, not because I'm stuck on anybody in the show, but just to see the same faces, just to have some friends in this lonely old town. I never got a chance to talk to them, of course, but I've seen them so often now that they're just like chums. So I keep on coming here instead of going to a new show and seeing a lot of strange faces again." Santa Ana (Cal.) Register The director-general of the employ ment service of the Department of Labor says: "The broadening out of industry in almost all lines of activity for May clearly emphasizes the fact that the business depression is behind us." Facts, moreover, are behind the statement. May was the biggest month the automotive industry has yet known. Building construction has boomed to the stage where 231 principal industrial centers there is an actual shortage of carpenters, bricklayers and plasterers. Texas has already started cutting wheat, and large numbers of men will soon be needed for harvest fields. Wisconsin wants laborers for north woods and sawmills; Alabama, laborers all over the state; Butte, Mont., experienced metal miners for copper; California, experienced lumber workers; Detroit, skilled automotive labor. Certain observations on these facts occur. Most of the demand, where there is a shortage, is for skilled labor. The skilled man is the last to be fired and the first to be taken on again, and always the best paid. This would indicate that more technical schools were desirable, and that letting children stay in school long enough to learn useful trades is better than letting them go to work at dead-end occupation at an early age. Also, now that business is on the upgrade, if everybody who owes somebody else a bill will release enough of his hoarded savings to pay Lake City and other cities other coaches will be picked up. Southern California and the Pacific slope will be plentifully advertised by the delegates by means of literature. Features of the week will include a pageant on Thursday which President Harding and General Pershing will review. CALL FORREPORTS OF CALIF. BANKS Announcement of a national bank call as of June 30 was made today. A state bank call also has been issued. Both calls were officially received here today. An inquiry ascertained that all of the five banks in town show increases in deposits and resources over a year ago. The growth in some instances has been very considerable, but the exact figures are not yet available in most cases.

There seems to be a touch of romance, almost medieval in color, in the effort of the Austrian government to obtain a loan here in New York with Gobelin tapestry collection as collateral. Doesn't that sound like the days of—well, of Christopher Columbus, at least? The Gobelin collection which the Austrian government proposes to send here comprises 200 to 300 tapestries, the ancient work of makers in Florence, Spain and France. But the practical-minded New York bankers have so far, according to their statement, declined to lend money in exchange for housing these treasures. We have been tremendously interested in the two little Eskimo girls whom Capt. Roald Amundson brot here from the Arctic Circle and who have been spending several days here on their way to Norway, where they are to be educated. They are already devoted to shops and movies, so you see how powerful is the force of adaptation. Italian aviators and capitalists have planned to establish an aerial transportation service between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Montevideo, Uruguay. Another new baby carrier for automobile tourists can be used in safety on the running board of a car or hung from any convenient supports like a hammock.
