DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Because I hold it sinful to despond, And will not let the bitterness of life Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond Its tumult and its strife. —Celia Thaxter Rigster for the August primary! California will figure prominently in the presidential contest of 1924, as it has in the last two campaigns. Congress might help reduce government expenditures by making conditions such that the congressional record would be smaller. The lessons of experience are invaluable, if heeded. But he or she makes little progress who gives no heed to the teachings of this great school of experience. The public school should be made as good as it is possible to make it. Housing and equipment should be adequate at all times and the salaries of teachers should be liberal. The more that "hammer murder" in Los Angeles is studied, the deeper the horror that a crime so diabolic could be committed in this country—especially horrible because committed by a woman. It does seem to be a reflection upon the intelligence of the men and women of this age to require them to attain unto twenty-one years before permitting them to vote, no matter how well educated they may be. Co-operation is needed from every class in the economic life of the Nation. No one class is independent of all other classes, nor should any one TWIN SUNS, HUGE AND FAR AWAY, DISCOVERED The telescope has brought another amazing revelation to humanity—the discovery of twin suns, estimated to be 52 quadrillion miles from the earth—or more than 5000 light years. The more massive of the two great solar orbits is estimated to be 75 times the bulk of our sun, and 15,000 times as bright. These huge centers of light and heat burn at temperature of 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit, according to scientific estimate. This important astronomical discovery was made by Dr. J. S. Plaskett, director of the Dominion of Canada's astrophysical observatory at Victoria, British Columbia. The two suns have been named Plaskett, in honor of their discoverer. Besides adding to the sum total of inspiring, elevating human knowledge, these discoveries in the realm of astronomy should quicken man's reverence for the Creator and should dispel all doubt in the minds of men as to the existence of Deity. Does any rational being really believe that these whirling suns, and worlds, and systems of worlds, compared with which our solar system is pigmy, just happened, and that they are going on by blind chance? Is there any reasonable explanation of first causes except through the instrumentality of one Great First Cause—the Almighty himself? MISCHIEVOUS GOSSIP IN MURDER CASE The mischievous, meddling gossip and scandalmonger cannot be denounced too frequently or too strongly. The conviction is strong among all who are conversant with the details of the "hammer murder" in Los Angeles, that Mrs. Alberta Meadows came to her death because of vicious gossip—much of it without any foundation whatever—dinned into the ears of Mrs. Clara Phillips.

The round robin It does seem to be a reflection upon the intelligence of the men and women of this age to require them to attain unto twenty-one years before permitting them to vote, no matter how well educated they may be. Co-operation is needed from every class in the economic life of the Nation. No one class is independent of all other classes, nor should any one class, or any two classes, have special privileges over the rest of the people. If a member of congress neglects faithful service in Washington, the people of his district should refuse to support him for re-election. But the faithful congressman should receive the reward which is due fidelity to duty. A British aviator, it seems, is to be the first to essay a flight cross the Pacific from the western shores of the United States. Is American pluck and daring on the wane? Why has not some venturesome American aviator undertaken this? The public should hold murder in abhorrence. There should be less light and reckless talk about murders by adults before children. Often-times a man or woman may be heard to say, before youngsters, that a murder was all right—that the murderer was justified. Sweeping assertions like this are very demoralizing to children. The rising generation should be brought up to have greater respect for human life. Murder should be abhorred and abominated for the extreme crime against God and man that it is. It is an offense that should shock and horrify and never should be regarded lightly. If human life is not held sacred, then indeed is human society in the midst of the gravest perils. Laws and institutions and governments fail, if murders are rife and if murderers are condoned and let off with slight punishment. MISCHIEVOUS GOSSIP IN MURDER CASE The mischievous, meddling gossip and scandalmonger cannot be denounced too frequently or too strongly. The conviction is strong among all who are conversant with the details of the "hammer murder" in Los Angeles, that Mrs. Alberta Meadows came to her death because of vicious gossip—much of it without any foundation whatever—dinned into the ears of Mrs. Clara Phillips. One woman in particular is said to have been especially mischievous and against this woman Frank A. Tremaine, father of the murdered girl is very bitter. He believes this one woman's gossiping caused the tragedy. Quoting Mr. Tremaine: "I thing this woman is more to blame, even, than Clara Phillips She ought to be in the dock beside her when Mrs. Phillips is tried. To show you what I thing of this malicious gossip, she had the audacity to send us some flowers and a note of condolence on my daughter's death. I had the flowers delivered back to her door and I tore up the note, put it in an envelope and sent that back to her also. This woman even told my younger daughter that Alberta was out riding with Mr. Phillips, and we have established incontrovertibly that Alberta was at the bank at the very time this troublemaker alleged she was acting improperly." The public should strike against strikes in vital industries. Industries and activities vital to the public welfare never should be suspended indefinitely by strikes and lockouts, to the injury of the people. Some better way should be found to settle industrial controversies—some way that would be fairly considerate of the rights of the public. Shipping under the American Flag should be encouraged generously, so that it may expand now while the commerce of the world is being adjusted and reapportioned. America should put itself in position to obtain its share of the commercial prizes of the world. ANSWERED BY What kind of a bounty can a pretty song?—R. The round robin.

"I FORGOT" House wreckers, tearing down an old homestead in Worcester, Mass., find a sealed envelope behind a secret panel. Envelope was received through the mails in 1845 by James Murro Schofield. He put it away by error and forgot to open it. Inside is a will, leaving to Schofield a Scotch estate worth nearly $1,000,000 then. What is it worth now? Schofield's heirs will rush to Edinburgh to find out. The case is an allegorical warning to people who continually are saying "I forgot." That is the most costly expression that ever rolls from the tongue of man. ANSWERED BY MR. GREY What kind of a bird seldom sings a pretty song?—R. H. The round robin Abe Martin SPECIAL!!

Comment of Press CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH Sacramento Bee Child labor in the cotton mills of several of our Southern states illustrates the tendency of history to repeat itself. When cotton fabrics first were made in England the work of the weavers was all done in their homes, and entirely by hand. After many years came the invention of power looms and establishment of cotton mills, in which not only men and women but also children worked. Such manufacturing being a new thing, there were no laws to regulate it in any way. The mill owners made the workers toil long hours; in fact, the only limitation was physical endurance. New York Letter by Lucy James Price NEW YORK, July 25.—Parts of a clay book, written back before Moses wrote Genesis, are preserved in the Pierpont Morgan library There have been other clay boks found and placed in our museums, but the interesting thing about this one is its context. A Yale professor is translating it and has found that it relates the story of the great flood, and its relation tailles exactly with the account in the Old Testament. It is in Assyrian, copied by an Amorite whose name was Azag-Ays. Scientists have insisted that there could not be enough rain in all the skies to bring about a deluge such as tht described in the Bible, but these Assyrian inscriptions agree with the Biblical account that the deluge came just the game. If we ever completely crash civilization and go back to the dark ages, it will undoubtedly be because some one insists upon acting on the emotion of the moment and the rest of us sit by and let them lead. The recent fire in the New York subway was an instance. Naturally the first thing done was to attempt to extinguish the flames with the universal first aid in such cases—these Pyrene extingishers which every modern institution keeps at hand. Then when it was all over, looking for a scapegoat, certain powers-that-be lit upon those little brass life-savers. "Pyrene made the gases," some one said, and if we had let ourselves be stamped, we would probably have thrown them all away in spite of the National Board of Fire Underwriters having endorsed them. That, itself, should have satisfied us, of course. Fortunately, reason did come into play, and the chemists and fire authorities of the country rushed to the rescue, proving that not only were the extinguishers in no sense responsible for the gases formed, but that they were absolutely necessary in any such emergency, and saved many lives in this one. Some one even remembered back in 1915 when the same sort of fire occurred, with no Pyrene to be blamed and much great... ANSWERED BY MR. GREY What kind of a bird seldom sings a pretty song?—R. H. The round robin. Were cannon used by the natives of the western hemisphere before Columbus discovered it?—J. M. W. Yes. When Columbus landed on San Salvador he found many unexploded shells on the beach. What is the coin in Paris that is most popular with American tourists?—P. P. The Latin quarter. Is the whale a peaceable animal or a quarrelsome one?—H. T. F. Quarrelsome. Two whales that happen to be together will soon come to blows. Why are so many country roads like a carving set—D. E. F. Because there is a fork in them. MR. GREY'S HOUSEHOLD HINTS Never throw away an old watermelon. Dry it out in an oven and use it as a pinchushion. A coffeepot and a teapot should be pasteurized once a week. When a well-done boiled egg has been scorched let it stand for 10 minutes in a quart of cold water to which a pinch of soda has been added. To remove wallpaper first soak it in a tub of hot water. Cherries can be pitted more easily by using a can opener on them.

A woman's life is largely devoted to keeping up with her neighbors and keeping down her weight. The peculiar thing about business is that when it is slow it is hardest When cotton fabrics first were made in England the work of the weavers was all done in their homes, and entirely by hand. After many years came the invention of power looms and establishment of cotton mills, in which not only men and women but also children worked. Such manufacturing being a new thing, there were no laws to regulate it in any way. The mill owners made the workers toil long hours; in fact, the only limitation was physical endurance. Life was thus made very hard for the weavers, a veritable slavory. In those days any sort of workers' union was impossible, being contrary to law. Labor was looked upon as merely a commodity, in no way subject to legislative regulation, and even children were not excepted. Children of paupers were compelled to work in the mills, and sometimes actually were chained to the looms, to prevent them from stealing away. Some historians say they were whipped by overseers, if they went to sleep or were found idle. But in the course of time Parliament passed laws to prevent such abuses, and to protect the natural rights of children. And eventually organization of labor greatly lessened the hours of work. Most, if not all, of our Northern and Western States now have laws forbidding child labor in mills and factories. But in several of the Southern States such legislation has been refused, and children still are working in the cotton mills, because of the greed of the mill owners. Twice Congress has tried to correct this evil, but each time the Federal Courts have declared it a matter for State regulation only, and beyond the power of the National Government. Perhaps public opinion throughout the Nation may yet shame those exceptional Southern States into legal suppression of child labor. WISE AND WITTY Two big men in a small town are worse for it than a spell of typhoid fever. It doesn't matter so much what the laws are if honest men are elected to run things. Nothing sold in a drug store is put to such severe tests as the so-called "beautifiers." Every human misery and injustice can be banished if men would only get together and do the right thing.

That is the majority query of those emerging from a performance of the Ziegfeld Follies. The answer to the first is that Mr. Ziegfeld doesn't have to scout any more for the lovely girls he shows, but that they come to him, since he has made the Follies "an institution for the glorification of the American girl." It is interesting to note that they all do have nice plain names like folks you know. To the second query, the answer is, he doesn't. Baronial towers on the other side and Magnate mansions throughout the United States are populated with them, because you can't see them without wanting them for your very own. Aside from the girls, Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. deserves as much credit as any producer in America. He has put overwhelming beauty in a style of production, which, while lavish, is art of the highest degree. His ears are ever open to any suggestion from any land which will gain the exemplification of beauty in any form on the stage. Biggest Hit Out Today—"Lovable Eyes"—Brunswick record. Schmidt Music Store. MATURITY Just yesterday, beside my chair He romped in happy play. But now I cannot find him there My little dad with flaxen hair The year we lured away. His merry feet were never slow; To heed my slightest call; Now many footsteps come and go, But this that I would welcome so, I never hear at all. There is the coat that once he wore, The braided jacket blue, A book his hasty fingers tore; But their wee owner comes no more, The listening hours through. He's gone beyond my care or ken; We dwell dim years apart. Oh, Time, too swift your greed for men; I want my little boy again, To cradle on my heart. Anna Camden Hall, in Life.
