DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS His mercies are new every morning. And oh! His compassions ne'er fail. To the timid sheep, cropping the herbage; The mariner, breasting the gale, The child, born to love and to laughter, The sinner, whom tears cannot shrive The mourner, left sleeping for sorrow, The sick man, who wakes up alive! Dinah M. Mulock-Craik The scenic sky-lines should be clear of billboards. No World War veteran who seeks work should go jobless. Political progressiveism seems to be to the people's liking this year. It is bleeding Ireland. And what good is to come of the bleeding? Revolutions in Central America have become few, are between and small caliber. There should be no propaganda prevarications about the situation in Mexico. The spirit of mob violence is the spirit of anarchy, and should be restrained. The constitution of the United States either is sound in all its parts, or else in none of them. Training children in good morals helps to prevent development of criminality in future. The tourist should not be compelled. SHOULD CONSULT PUBLIC AS TO STRIKES Members of great labor organizations vote to strike or not to strike, consulting only their own interests, as a class, in such voting. Great corporations decide to yield or not to yield to the claims of labor, as they (the corporations) deem their own class interests to be affected. Neither labor nor capital consults the public, and, in too many instances, neither of them manifests any particular concern as to how the interests of the public are affected. Now, what should be is this: There should not be a great strike or a lockout in a big, vital industry, unless the public sanctions such strike or lockout. By post-card ballot, or by some other practicable method, the people should be polled, if a great strike or lockout impends, and if the people disapprove there should be no strike or lockout. The objection that would be raised to this suggestion is that the people at no time would favor a strike or lockout in any great, essential industry. Very well, then, the people's will should be respected—there should be no destructive strikes or lockouts. If labor and capital only would recognize the fact and avail themselves of the opportunities it offers them, the public, if taken into the confidence of and into partnership with labor and capital, would be a determining factor in bringing about just conditions in the realm of industry. The public, being disinterested as between labor and capital, would stand for a "square deal" to both. This is as much as either should ask.

MANY AUTOS ARE OWNED IN CALIFORNIA Trust California to push itself into leadership in whatever is worth while. Comes now this Golden state leading all the other commonwealths in the ratio of motor vehicles owned for each 1000 of population. There are 193.5 cars per 1000 persons in this state, or one motor vehicle for every 5.16 persons in the state. Iowa comes second and South Dakota and Nebraska third and fourth, respectively. This is significant, too, indicating that the granger states are right in the forefront in use of motor vehicles. It is interesting to note that 10,448,632 motor vehicles were registered in the United States in 1921, a gain of 1,237,327 over 1920. New York has the largest registration of any of the state—779,344. California's registration was 663,251, a gain of 94,456 over the previous year. This state is moving rapidly toward primacy in number of machines owned. There was a difference of only 116,093 machines between New York and California, in 1921. This state is increasing the number of its motor vehicles in a greater ratio than the Empire state. There is probability that, within a few years, California not only will lead all the states in number of vehicles per capita, but in actual number of vehicles owned.

The ideal oil is the thinnest oil which will keep the bearing surfaces of the mechanism separated. Providing this oil has "oiliness," stability and purity, it will give perfect lubrication, and permit the development of the maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage of the car. "Oiliness" — Stability — Purity Zerolene meets the conditions perfectly. It has great "oiliness," due to the crudes from which it is made, and our own patented process of high vacuum distillation. It has great stability, as a result of which it resists engine heat and forms only a minimum of carbon of a soft, flaky nature which blows out with the exhaust. And it is pure. This company has always considered the removal of all detrimental properties and compounds as essential in making Zerolene.

The Story of a Fire It was the vacation season, and an automobile carrying a party of tourists stopped on a road that wound through a magnificent stand of Douglas fir in eastern Washington. The travelers sat in rapturous admiration of the quiet forest scene and rhapsodized over the great trees that columned their majestic beauty as far as the eye could see. One of the men of the party lit a contemplative cigar ette and tossed the match to the side of the road. Half an hour later an airplane patrol dying high above the mountain range, saw yellowish smoke ballooning over the tree tops. He moved his control and turned in that direction. Upon the chart in the machine before him he located the fire ap- Town in Review If we hadn't licked England years ago, we'd probably all be wearing knee pants today, like Gawge Harvey.

When the daughter of vikings and a son of the Orient decide to go through life together, it is worthy of comment even here in complex Manhattan. Miss Freda Gerdin, 575 Riverside drive, and John Moorhof Tamraz, captain in the medical corps of the United States army were married here the other day. Miss Gerdin was born in Harnosand, Sweden, and Captain Tamraz, in Tabriz, Persia. Both of them came to this country in their early teens and grew up as Americans. Captain Tamraz having been graduated at the University of Virginia and the Columbia Medical School. Can you learn scenario writing from a school? Or are all such schools deserving of the campaign now being waged here against them? It's the same old story of any new kind of school. Schools of music, schools of journalism, correspondence schools of any kind—who doesn't remember the howl raised at the thought of teaching people such things in that way? And the fake "schools" which sprung uplike mushrooms in all of those directions, to increase the clamor and give semblance of truth to the criticism hurled at the whole idea? The schools of scenario writing are now going thru that stage. It is said that the greater number of these schools take their clients' money and give practically nothing in return. It is a matter of public interest when some scenario school, therefore, demonstrates that, difficult as its art is, expert teaching is of value in it as in anything else. The result of the Chicago Daily News scenario contest in which a student of the Palmer Photoplay Corporation, one of the most successful of the schools, won a prize of $10,000 as well as others of its students making pretty nearly a clean sweep in other contests, indicates that there is de- Half an hour later an airplane patrol flying high above the mountain range, saw yellowish smoke ballooning over the tree tops. He moved his control and turned in that direction. Upon the chart in the machine before him he located the fire approximately, then returned quickly to a mountain fire station ten miles away. By wireless telephone he called to the man in the station; "Fire, twenty-six thirty-one south-west." Back came the instant reply: "Twenty-six thirty-one. Have it." Soon a dozen telephones over a hundred mile area were buzzing with the call "twenty-six thirty-one." From his aerial perch the cying patrol could discern automobiles on many roads hurrying to the fire. Along many trails crews of men on foot seemed to make exasperatingly slow progress in the same direction. In the meantime the smoke grew into an enormous yellowish white fog that screened the surrounding forests, and in the aerial patrol's ears came the foof of conflagration punctured by the booming of falling trees. Where the wind blow the smoke away the patrol could see the flames leaping from tree top to tree top. After what seemed an interminable wait, the patrol noted various gangs of men at work. They were combating that most terrifying, most ungovernable and dangerous of all rebellious elements—the forest fire. For a day and a night and another day the battle waged. Grimy men, black as the charred trunks around them, worn to the last stages of exhaustion, fought on—cutting away underbrush, dynamizing logs and trees, beating out the slinking fringes of advancing ground fire, shouting one to another above the cracking inferno of heat and smoke, panting like hunted animals around the water barrels where they slacked their thirst with the lukewarm liquid, but gaining almost imperceptibly at first, yet gradually with greater certainty as the weary hours dragged on. And amid the confusion and crash of falling timber the ranger and his foreman generaled the battle. Several days later a wide, barren scar lay upon the mountainside, still smouldering in places where the black splinters of the charred stumps pointed like acusing fingers, and still sending out masses of yellowish white smoke. The scar covered hundreds of acres, and it would continue to smoulder and smoke for weeks, while all about in the adjacent woods were fire guards constantly vigilant to see that the enemy did not creep out and strike again. And far away the automobile tour- Hubby—What a glorious day! I could dare anything—face anything on a day like this. Wifey—Then let's stop at the milliner's.

LICKING BULLS ANY MAN who's licked a Hereford bull in a fair fight four times in one summer and successfully withstood the impact of a two-story concrete house falling on him, certainly isn't afraid of a little thing like an airplane flight. Take this from Representative Manuel Herrick, of Oklahoma, self-styled "daredevil congressman," who has purchased a surplus army airplane for $500 and intends to stump his district via the air lanes. This will be America's first campaign for congress from an airplane. THE CONGRESSMAN, admits the possibility that the plane will fall and butter him all over the landscape, but insists he has already had too many close calls to be worried by a little thing like that. In 1918 an Oklahoma cyclone lifted two-story farmhouse from its surrounding real estate and carefully deposited it on top of him. Herrick said the House was a total loss and the neighbors thought Herrick was too, but he scrambled from under the wreckage with only a few bruises. IN THE SUMMER of 1918, the congressman recounted, he fought four charred fights with a Hereford bull, said bull having a gross displacement of one ton, muscles like a bicycle policeman, a mean and wicked eye and a very unfriendly disposition. But Herrick threw the bull—literally—each time by twisting his right hand into the animal's nose ring. When the bull was fully cowed, the battle ended and Herrick emerged triumphant. Herrick said he chose an airplane for making his campaign for re-election so he wouldn't have to put up with hum train service and bad roads." If for any reason he should not be re-elected, Herrick plans to tour the country and do stunt flying at state fairs. lists journeyed carefree and utterly unconcerned.

But she goes considerably farther than many of them would when it comes to putting into actual practice the matter of forgiving her husband for excursions into free fields. Prof. Tondra and a seventeen year old girl were arrested the other day on their way to Niagara Falls and brought back to New York by the police. The first person to go their aid was Mrs. Tondra, who immediately tried to get ball for them, explained that she forgave them both, and that her husband was anxious to return home and she was going to take him there. Was the older generation harder than this one, or is it just that a person sturdy enough to live to be 100 years old, can stand anything?

Phone 217 Tickets to and from Europe—All Trans-Atlantic Steamship Lines July 7, 1922 Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying THE GREED OF LOS ANGELES (Santa Ana Register) Santa Ana and all Orange county are to be congratulated, and our banking institutions are to be commended, in that we have thus far escaped the commercial greed of Los Angeles, as manifested by the big bank merger just announced. By this merger some forty-odd country banks, about half of them in cities of the same class as Santa Ana, and other Orange county big towns, were made subservient to a triple alliance of three of the great Los Angeles banks. Bankers everywhere recognize that there is a very big and important difference in the big city banking system and the kind of banking done by small city banks. The big city bank makes only on what are known as "liquid" business loans, for short periods to carry on a season's business. This is known as the British system. The small city bank makes what is known as capital loans—that is, it will lend money to a man in whom the bank has confidence in order to help him establish his business. It will lend him money as a part of his capital. The American system, as the small method is known, is one that is designed to build up a community. The banker takes his chances with his community. His loans are made on faith in the prosperity and development of his community. The money gained in increased deposits is loaned out to further build up the community. The surplus gained by a "branch" bank is sent to the big city to be used for the benefit of the big city. The "branch" bank becomes a feeder to the big bank. The small city method has been the bone and sinew of American development. To remove it spells disaster to the development of the small community. The fight to build up Los Angeles institutions at the expense of the smaller cities roundabout has been felt in Santa Ana in a manufacturing way. In its plan to corner manufacturing industries, Los Angeles City bought out the Edison company's distributing system within its corporate limits, and is right now following out a method of subsidizing industries by selling them power and light at less than cost. It was only recently that the I. and G. Universal Plug company, owned by local capital, located its plant in Los Angeles because Santa Ana, nor any other small city, could meet the Los Angeles scheme of power rates. If Southern California towns fail to see in the commercial greed of Los Angeles, a menace to their social and economic welfare they will live to regret their own blindness.
