The glory is not in the task, but in The doing it for Him.—Jean Ingelow Voters are striking the progressive chord in politics this year. The laws of the land should be respected and obeyed by all. Uncle Sam's business should be managed economically and well. Time and experience have demonstrated that enfranchisement of women was and is no mistake. Murderous violence is too common in this country. Too few murderers pay the extreme penalty for their crimes. Californians should register 100 per cent American this year by registering and participating in the August primaries. Ohio has been visited by a terrific electrical storm. But it was not Presidential lightning, the politicians were not interested. There is too much delay in administering legal justice. And there are too many loopholes through which justice can be evaded. The United States and the Dominion of Canada have demonstrated to the world how two nations should live, in peace and friendship. Chicago has had eighty-three murders in six months. The birth rate there, fortunately, is high, consequently there is no immediate danger of depopulation. Official recognition of the government of General Obregon, in Mexico, by the government of the United States would seem to be in order, POSTAL SERVICE BY AIR HAS GOOD RECORD Aerial mail service, in this country established a remarkable record for the last year's daily service. Not a single fatal accident occurred in the service last year, whereas there were seventeen deaths in the year preceding. The transcontinental mail airplanes, on the New York to San Francisco route, covered a grand total of 1,750,000 miles. More than 49,000,000 letters were carried by air, with a total weight of 1,224,500 pounds. The air mail service of the Postoffice Department, in an official statement, says that the aerial mail record for the last year "proves more conclusively than any other test ever made, the reliability and the efficiency of the air-plane in commercial service." Postoffice Department air planes flew "through every kind of weather, summer, fall, winter and spring, and over mountains, deserts and forests." The no-death record of the service is attributed to the fact that all the air-mail pilots are experienced and tried, and know the route. So successful is the venture, it is the intention of the Postoffice Department to establish night aerial mail service on the transcontinental route within the ensuing year. Development and expansion of air mail routes may be expected. This service is beyond the stage of experiment. Its feasibility is well established. Erelong there will be day and night aerial mails connecting all the important cities of the country. STRIKES BIG PROBLEMS FOR MR.

He an era or horse Yet the lads o The United States and the Dominion of Canada have demonstrated to the world how two nations should live in peace and friendship. Chicago has had eighty-three murders in six months. The birth rate there, fortunately, is high, consequently there is no immediate danger of depopulation. Official recognition of the government of General Obregon, in Mexico, by the government of the United States would seem to be in order, without further delay. Friends are tried when one goes down into the valley of the shadow of misfortune and adversity. The friend who stands loyal and steadfast in dark days is a friend indeed. The brakes should be put on extravagance in government everywhere. The taxpayers should be given the consideration that is their due. Business principles should prevail in government. The time is coming when Mother Earth will sleep without locks on her doors and without heavy armaments to safeguard herself. In other words, the time is coming when nations will disarm, and maintain armies and navies only for police duty. It would require years of sightseeing, going several weeks each year, to exhaust California's varied scenic attractions. Many Californians do not appreciate how wonderful and how diverse this state's scenery is. One might spend the vacations of half a lifetime in this state and scarcely visit the same place twice. California is one vast landscape garden. The Creator has put upon this portion of the earth's surface a variety of scenic beauty and grandeur such as is to be found rarely, if at all, anywhere else. It truly is one great and grand garden of varigated landscapes, ranging from quiet beauty and picturesqueness to the superlative of sublimity and majesty. Appreciate this state. Its scenery is always inspiring, always refreshing, always delighting to the eye and soothing to the soul. STRIKES BIG PROBLEMS FOR MR. HARDING President Harding has on his hands a tremendous, critical problem, in dealing with the coal and railway strikes. He finds considerable defiance to his attempts to bring the clashing interests together. The coal strike, which has dragged its menacing course over several weeks, has engaged the close attention of Mr. Harding and members of the cabinet. And yet there is no definite basis for a settlement between the striking miners and the mine operators. Neither side will yield, and up to the time this is written, neither side has shown a disposition to accept arbitration under auspices of the national government. The rail strike, too, presents an obdurate situation. Unless it be settled within a few days, the strike may spread among other organizations if railway workers and may become disastrous. President Harding is averse to using drastic methods to bring these strikes to end. And yet there are intimations, in news dispatches from Washington, that the President, failing to persuade the battling interests to arrange an armistice, and relieve the public of disastrous consequences, will adopt stern measures and use all the power of the federal government to put the coal mines in operation and to carry on interstate commerce without hamper. Unless relief is given soon, the public must suffer irreparably—from a fuel famine, and from wanton destruction of perishable vegetable and fruit crops. It is the public that is being punished—and the public should not be punished. Some means of settling the strikes will be found some time—why not now? This thing cannot go on forever—why should it go on at all? The public must be protected against these periodic struggles between capital and labor. Chicago and other great cities run red with the blood of homicide. And yet legal executions are infrequent. The law is not so stern with murders as it should be. A photographer’s only problem is to make the picture look better than the person. WHEN IT COULD MASS OF PEOPLE ARENT MENTION OF A PAID WHO HAS TO EAT HIM OR GO HUNG.

The quality is exactly as high—the strength of its construction has not been diminished in the slightest degree. No other tire ever made approaches its popularity for use on rough roads or with heavy loads. Extra ply and with a heavy, tough red tread, every day adds many hundreds of enthusiastic new users of Red-Tops. Available, also at reduced figures, in size 31 x 4, 32 x 3½, 32 x 4 and 33 x 4.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Abe Marlin So many ingenious schemes t' git business are bein' tried that th' idea o' allowin' us t' trade in a last year's straw hat on a new one is at least entitled t' consideration.

Many of the difficulties and controversies that now disturb the world and threaten its peace are directly traceable to the refusal of this country to go into the League of Nations. Contrasting the German-Polish situation with that resulting from the Genoa conference, one cannot blind oneself—unless wilfully—to the fact that Germany and Polad are at peace, and a peace based on treaty if not friendship and understanding, because of the work and influence of the League of Nations. The love feast of the Germans and Poles, attended also by members of the League council and officials of the League secretariat, bears striking testimony to the value of the League. There were many felicitations on what is generally regarded as the League's most important work. The problem solved was one of the most difficult that could be imagined—that of apporticing Silesa between the two nations. NEW YORK LETTER Town in Review CRAZY STYLES STYLES are always adjusted to the national state of mind. And the return of normalcy is shown by the present exit of jazz clothing designs. So says Louis Rubin, secretary of the American Clothing Designers' association. Louis says the national state of mind has little to do with it. The change, always, is in the state of mind of some designers and manufacturers. The jazz styles, that are scheduled to go into cold storage with mothballs, did not reflect unbalanced or neurotic mental condition among the "vast majority" of the American people. Freak styles come in cycles, periodically, regardless of the national state of mind. Fifteen years ago was an era or horse-sense, without Jazz. Yet the lads of that day wore the NEW YORK, July 19.—The site of the old curb exchange presents a very different appearance at noon from what it did before, the euro went inside. The wide portion of Broad-st., a little distance from the Stock Exchange, used to be crowded with the curb runners wearing their distinctive head coverings to attract the attention of the signalers from the brokers' offices in the windows above. Now the street is deserted and many of these offices have "to let" signs in the windows, and one of the most valuable floors for the curb traders is occupied by a dress house, known as The Narcissus Shoppe. It is a contrasting sight to the old scene of excited traders talking into telephones and announcers, making queer gesticulations to the traders below in the street. In a quiet and inconspicuous way the "big business men" of this city are showing their intense interest in the tariff bill now being debated by and ars one of the chief joys of the person who must remain in town. They are given in the Stadium of New York University nightly, and it is a common thing for ten thousand people to attend. Excellent music given by a well-known Symphony Orchestra, augmented by good soloists, is given for a nominal admission. To add to the pleasure the buses make a special run to the grounds and one may combine a ride and a concert in the open air any evening. The Stadium and the Concert series are the result of the beneficence of Adolph Lewisohn, who takes an active part in their arrangement each year. No one in the world could write a book "Of All Things" better than my own Robert Benchley. I say my own, even though he may not know it. But in following him week after week in one of our numcrous publications I have decided that he has the happie- Louis says the national state of mind has little to do with it. The change, always, is in the state of mind of some designers and manufacturers. The jazz styles, that are scheduled to go into cold storage with mothballs, did not reflect unbalanced or neurotic mental condition among the "vast majority" of the American people. Freak styles come in cycles, periodically, regardless of the national state of mind. Fifteen years ago was an era or horse-sense, without jazz. Yet the lads of that day wore the craziest clothes known to our generation—peg-top trousers, showstrings on neckties and enough buttons on a suit to load a dozen shot-guns. WHEN IT COMES to clothing, the mass of people are in the predication of a paid-in-advance boarder who has to eat what is put before him or go hungry. We take what we get—what is handed to us by resourceful brains turning handsprings to stimulate clothing sales. Rebellion against abrupt style changes, which play havoc with the average person's pocket-book, would be certain if it were not for our instinct of imitation. Man is more imitative than the money. The imitativeness is mental as well as physical. This explains the periodical switching from one cure-all to another illusion. SHORT SKIRTS came in as a "freakish" style, yet they are sane and sensible. Now the decree goes forth, that to be in the swim, the short skirt must be discarded for a long one. This doesn't reveal any change in the national state of the feminine mind for nine out of ten women are about as keen to give up their short skirts as they are to "gather wrinkles." But groups of manufacturers decide to stimulate sales and move stocks of cloth. So, by elaborate staging, the long skirt will be forced in women again. It is a bitter pill for the girl who scrimped and saved and went without adequate lunches to get enough money to buy short skirts. She is contemplating the grim truth that a long skirt can be shortened, but a short skirt cannot be lengthened. Fashion is a cruel and unjust Simon Legree. The whole system is as senseless as if word went out that everyone must tear down his frame house and build a brick one, or be old-fashioned. ANSWERED BY MR. GREY Did John D. Rockefeller establish the first oil plant in the world?—I. H. No. Among the first were the olive tree and the castor bean. I saw a young man squeezing the hand of the young lady with whom he was eating dinner in a hotel above. Now the street is deserted and many of these offices have "to let" signs in the windows, and one of the most valuable floors for the curb traders is occupied by a dress house, known as The Narcissus Shoppe. It is a contrasting sight to the old scene of excited traders talking into telephones and announcers, making queer gestulations to the traders below in the street. In a quiet and inconspicuous way the "big business men" of this city are showing their intense interest in the tariff bill now being debated by Congress. Usually these leaders "let'er slide" except where they may be personally interested. An instance of the new interest in national topics was given yesterday when a representative gathering met at one of the great lunchroom clubs within a stone's throw of Wall Street and demanded to know what is the situation concerning American potash with reference to the tariff bill. Amos F. Keene one of the best known mining engineers and authorities in potash in this country, was asked to explain. He summarized the situation in this view, "America can produce all the potash she needs now and for hundreds of years to come from her own deposits. She cannot do this profitably without tariff protection since the European manufacturers can monopolize our market owing to their methods, fully developed potash deposits and the low rate of exchange. A bounty to American producers will save the potash industry here and will save the American farmer from having to depend on the European monopoly which will undoubtedly raise prices if ever it controls the American market." That chivalry does not stalk in the streets of New York in the same way that it is rampant in the sunny South, must have been the opinion of one of the Southern beauties who is here for the Summer Session at Columbia. She ventured out on Broadway the other night to go to a theatre, but took a small flat box with her. When questioned by her escort as to its content, she opened it and revealed a tiny, polished, pearl-handled automatic, fully loaded. "Oh that? That's just a little present I got down South," she exclaimed. "I've been carrying it around with me since I've been here. I'd never seen New York before, and had heard that such a thing was necessary." The Stadium concerts are on again, cherry pie will keep out moths. Doughnuts will not fade if kept in a cool, dry place. Never throw away an old nutmeg grater. Put a handle on it and use it as a hairbrush. It is fine in removing dandruff. Be that as it may, Rosa Etta Apple lives in Lisbon, O. The whole system is as senseless as if word went out that everyone must tear down his frame house and build a brick one, or be old-fashioned.
