DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Why should I hug life's ills with cold reserve, To curse myself and all who love me? Nay! A thousand times more good than I deserve God gives me every day. —Celia Thaxter. Industrial conflicts are millstones around Uncle Sam's neck. Who can look upon the wonders of the universe and deny the existence of God? Desiring to visit and inspect the filmopolis of the world, Will H. Hays came to Los Angeles. Live in the outdoors as much as possible. This way lies health and pleasure and keen joy of living. Will H. Hays has come to get suggestions as to how to apply moral soap and water to pictures. Labor and capital should respect each other's rights. And they both should respect the rights of the public. Greed recolls upon itself oftentimes and defeats its own ends. Inordinate selfishness is one of the poorest of business assets. There is room at the top now, as there always has been, for the boy who honestly and pluckily makes his own way in the world. Encourage schools and the means of education, as you would encourage any vital industry. Education is vital to this country and people. It is to be hoped that Clara Phillips accused of committing NATIONAL PARK MADE OF PALM CANYON Southern California will be gratified to learn that, by act of Congress Palm Canyon has been created a national park, the measure only awaiting Harding's signature. This picturesque spot, near Palm Springs, is familiar to all who drive out toward the Imperial Valley and beyond. In Palm Canyon is a magnificent grove of natural wild Washington palms, said to be the only remaining large grove of the kind in the country. To put regions of extraordinary scenic interest—but which are not naturally designed for commercial use—into national parks, is a government policy which meets with public favor. California has several national parks, and together they form a chain of natural wonders which thrill great numbers of visitors from all parts of the world. Most notable of these are Yosemite Park and the "Big Trees." Throughout the Pacific and the Rocky Mountain West there are scenic marvels in greater confusion than can be found in any other part of the world. These have been made into national parks, for the most part, and have been brought into a coordinated system by planned highways leading through several states. These scenic wonders are rich edowments by Nature which will remain here through the centuries, to interest and to awe successive generations of sightseers. EXPLORERS TO RACE FOR ARCTIC CONTROL Capt. Roald Amundsen, in attempting to float and to fly across the Arctic regions, is planning to raise the flag of Norway, his native country, over air bases in the Arctic Ocean and thus lay claim for political control over that region by Norway. This There is room at the top now, as there always has been, for the boy who honestly and pluckily makes his own way in the world. Encourage schools and the means of education, as you would encourage any vital industry. Education is vital to this country and people. It is to be hoped that Clara Phillips, accused of committing the "hammer murder" in Los Angeles, has not set a fashion which may become popular. The government at Washington insists, as a condition precedent to extending formal recognition to the government of Mexico, that valid claims to property of all kinds held by Americans in Mexico shall be respected. This is but reasonable guarantee, and the Obregon government should hasten to give it. Give the children abundance of romping exercise in the open air. Encourage them to play outdoors. See that they have room to play in proper environment. This contributes greatly to the moral and physical weal of boys and girls. Start them aright in life. The measure of intelligence among rural residents, in this country, is high. Newspapers, magazines and books are read extensively by dwellers in the country. They are keen and alert mentally, and there is not the ignorance and the mossbackism which, in earlier days, were to be found among ruralities. The ignorant, awkward country bumpkin, so frequently portrayed on the stage a few years ago, is passing. The modern farm-boy and farm girl are intelligent, many of them cultured and full of grace. They have accomplishments which make them the equals, if not the superiors, of their cousins of the cities. EXPLORERS TO RACE FOR ARCTIC CONTROL Capt. Roald Amundsen, in attempting to float and to fly across the Arctic regions, is planning to raise the flag of Norway, his native country, over air bases in the Arctic Ocean and thus lay claim for political control over that region by Norway. This is asserted by Edwin Fairfax Naulty, an American explorer, who says that he is going to make an attempt to fly across that hyperborean region ahead of Captain Amundsen and plant the American Flag there, which would give this country political control. This question of political control of the Arctic regions is of lively interest. Not until recent years have explanations been pushed far up toward the Pole, beyond Greenland, Iceland, and the known lands above Alaska. As explorations proceed, and as those regions are mapped and routes for reaching them become marked, the political aspect comes to the front—what nation or nations shall have political sovereignty in those inhospitable climes in future? While the U.S. is not in quest of territory, yet there should be national pride here in having the American Flag flying over that far Northern region—or portions of it. If the people exercised more care as to the moral quality of men they nominate and elect to office, there would be fewer cases of malfeasance among public officials. The people have it in their power to control this thing. At the ballot-box the people are supreme. Through the ballot box it is possible to work any needed reform in government. This is the only means of revolution which ever should be used in this country—the revolution of ballots, not of bullets.

Long for the "good old days? NEW YORK, July 27.—Quite an elaborate lot of names will be chisened onto New York children in future years of Montague Glass is correct. At a dinner of the Salma-gundi club the other night Mr. Glass told about the latest fad with apartment house dwellers. While many builders name their houses after members of their families, the tenants are going them one better and naming their children after the apartment houses! Names like Belleclair Smith and Sheldon Arms Brown will not be uncommon in future city directories—so Mr. Glass averred. The one and two family home building boom which is now on in Greater New York is unprecedented, say the heads of the building trades. New homes are now in process of construction for 38,363 families. Sense of values differ. In a column of apartment houses ads the other Sunday, all expounding on their newness, was one which boasted of having been "built just after the Revolutionary war." "Motion Picture Sam," of the Bowery, doesn't believe in trying to kill the traditional goose and lose the golden eggs of the future. A sign on his motion picture house announces that the playhouse is closed for the season but will reopen in the fall with all the latest releases. "This house is closed," explains the sign, with "Motion Picture Sam, Prop," as signature, "because I need a rest and in order to give my patrons a chance to accumulate more money so that they may come here more often when we open again." New York has another titled daughter. Miss Katherine T. Wendell, daughter of the late Jacob Wendell, Jr., of Manhattan, was married the other day to Lord Portchester in St. Margaret's church, Westminster. The family have lived abroad a great part of the time since the death of the father in 1911, but have returned. Comment of Press MACHINERY OF GOVERNMENT (Fresno Republican) "Any kind of government depends upon the man." So we hear often. But does it? Machinery is intended to dispense with the need of men. Machinery permits one man to do the work of a dozen men, and to do it better. And in a proper distribution of social benefits, the work of each man will be lightened by machinery, and the enjoyment of each be innereased. So it is with governmental machinery. The government runs smoother, with the handling by ordinary men, than it could without the machinery, with the handling of extra clever men. Even governmental machinery may be made approximately "fool proof." It is imperative for our democracy that our governmental machinery be improved much faster in proportion than the skill of our statesmen. We may be suffering today from a lack of skillful statesmen. But we are suffering even more from a lack of machinery for ordinary statesmen to work with. Men used to boast of their skill in adding columns of figures. And now we have adding machines that are much more skillful than any human mind. It takes only a modicum of brains to run an adding machine. It took a genius to qualify for a bank position before. Our population is increasing by arithmetical ratio. And the human problems that this increasing population is presenting are increasing by geometrical ratio. It requires all the human skill that we can summon to the support of society to deal in a human way with the new problems. We must one by one reduce the old problems to a condition to be dealt with by mechanical methods. There must be rules of procedure, laws, institutional habits, precedents. These are all parts of social machinery. There is a danger, of course, from having social or governmental machinery that gets rusty from lack of personal attention. But machinery The N. Y. Medical Journal says George Washington was a speed maniac. Those New Yorkers always were slow. Even the British found that out 150 years ago. John Black, the dark horse of the recent golf tournament in the east, didn't wear knickers, fancy stockings or a fancy jacket. Gosh, they'd never never know John was a golfer at the Hacienda club.

A FITTING REBUKE Some time between Sunday night and Monday morning two ferns disappeared from the table and fern stand in front of the Berkland home at 901 North Lockwood. The larger fern was over 15 years old and its loss is keenly felt. No one but a real thief would do such an act, and for the thief's benefit the plates will be left standing all summer where the ferns have stood for many past summers.—Austin (Ill.) Austinite. Old Doc Johnson tells us he lamped this sign down town: COLD ICE TEA A novelty, by heck! Henry Ford is planning to establish a plant in Mexico City and the newspapers that used to predict he would go to the poorhouse for paying high wages in his Detroit factory are now predicting that it will be destroyed by revolutionists. Henry might draw more of their sympathy if he were to go to Mexico and try to steal an oil field. An Atlantic City girl who has been creating a sensation in London by wearing knickers said to the reporters, "I show no more of my legs than when I wear skirts." Then why wear knickers? As an Example of Things That Are Just Naturally Funny Judge Isaac Mayfield, candidate for j.p. of Imperial county, was held up and robbed by bandits in San Diego county Sunday morning. They stole everything the judge had on except his campaign cards. TOM SIMS SAYS A man on a vacation spends more money accidentally than he does on purpose at home. Ever since fashion notes said night shirts were back, we've been waiting for a hotel fire to verify the statement. This may be an awful country, but there are plenty of people over 80 who never missed a meal. New York has another titled daughter. Miss Katherine T. Wendell, daughter of the late Jacob Wendell Jr., of Manhattan, was married the other day to Lord Portchester in St. Margaret's church, Westminster. The family have lived abroad a great part of the time since the death of the father in 1911, but have returned frequently to visit, and have maintained close connection with their circle here. There are more than 25,000 summer students in New York this year, plugging away at classes in Columbia, Hunter College, New York University and other colleges of the city. Our silly reason population is not composed entirely of frivolity, after all. There used to be an argument that women ought not to vote because they could not use force to enforce the law which they would help to make. Miss Ethel Cummings shattered any such idea in ten crowded minutes. Miss Cummings, who is a store detective here, saw a man gathering wallets from a counter on a store. He stood 6 feet 2 and weighed 185 pounds; but Miss Cummings forthwith arrested him and started out to a policeman with him in tow. Suddenly he turned and struck her in a bolt for freedom. Three minutes later he was lying on the sidewalk with Miss Cummings sitting on him while she waited for the police. He didn't get up until they arrived and took charge of him, either. We are prepared to be dazzled by one member of Royalty to the full degree that we have always hoped to be. The Queen of Rumania has a full sense of noblesse oblige. She is going to try to make us as glad to see her as we want to be. Therefore, according to report, she has been undergoing all sorts of facial treatments in Paris to eradicate the effects of the long straining of the war upon her beauty preparatory to her visit here which will take place before long. Needless to say New York women will be most anxious to welcome and see Europe's most beautiful queen, and are sincerely appreciative of her effort to be as beautiful as possible for us. It is reported, also, that she will be the best dressed person of high degree we have seen, for all thine in Paris that she was being rejuvenated, she was buying frocks and hats and other things. One mortgage company alone in New York City finished the year 1921 with more than $21,000,000 in loans placed on real estate during the year, of which more than $2,000,000 is now going into the production of new housing.

Center Phone 166 THURSDAY, July 27, 1922 WISE AND WITTY Women who marry smart men are rarely happy. Common sense is the most uncommon thing there is. Men will listen to reason more than they will listen to law. A husband who lives off his wife's folks is not likely to apply for a divorce. Men and women should never give up being boys and girls until they pass 90. No woman is as beautiful as the society editor says she is. All the praying done for Congress has so far shown no good results. The education that is worth most is the education you get out of life. Among the affections, none is quite so praisworthy as a love for plain work. Many troubles arise because a few want to do all the bossing to catch.
