DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Dark clouds must clear, and when the clouds are past, One golden day redeems a weary year; Patient I listen, sure that sweet, at last, Will sound His voice of cheer. —Cella Thaxter. The merit system should prevail in filling all public offices. Los Angeles has a quiet week occasionally, in which no mystery murder occurs. Sowing the seeds of factional dissension and bitterness in a community is not a good public service, by any means. In all industrial wars, the public suffers the proverbial fate of the "innocent bystander"—gets most of the hard knocks. The primary election system should not be discarded until and unless some better plan is found. No better plan has been found yet. Be considerate toward the teacher. Her lot is exciting, usually. She is never overpaid, at best. Many faithful school room workers are lamentably underpaid. The dishonorable, objectionable thing does not become honorable and unobjectionable because it is done in politics. The same standards of integrity should hold in politics as in the ordinary affairs of life. Buy of your home merchant for your own material good, as well as for the good of the community. MR. HAYS’ PHILOSOPHY IS CONSTRUCTIVE Will H. Hays is much like a dynamic person, Mr. Hays is that person. He is a philosopher, too—and he preaches a constructive philosophy. Speaking of the economic situation, he urges, "Let us lay bricks—not throw them." Then he adds some sunshine by declaring that "prosperity is right ahead of us and it is time to get out and meet it." Furthermore he says, "I cry continually for the common sense of Courage, Confidence and Co-operation." Wise, helpful, wholesome words from a man of intense action—a man who does things. The country needs this kind of philosophy at this time. It needs whole regiments of Will H. Hayses to animate its courage and to set its face confidently to the present and toward the future. It needs more of the constructive ideal so pertinently expressed by Mr. Hays: "Let us lay bricks—not throw them." There is far too much throwing of bricks, figuratively speaking. There is too much destructive, obstructive criticism and action. This country is all right, basically. Its economic conditions can be made all right, through Courage, Confidence and Co-operation, the high C’s of economic progress and prosperity. Mr. Hays is delivering sound economical gospel to the people whom he addresses. PUBLIC’S INTERESTS ARE NEGLECTED The public, long neglected and its rights trampled upon, is receiving the attention it deserves—not so much as it deserves, in some instances, but much more than formerly. In the big industrial conflicts now... Her lot is exciting, usually. She is never overpaid, at best. Many faithful school room workers are lamentably underpaid. The dishonorable, objectionable thing does not become honorable and unobjectionable because it is done in politics. The same standards of integrity should hold in politics as in the ordinary affairs of life. Buy of your home merchant for your own material good, as well as for the good of the community. Patronize those who pay taxes and are in the forefront in promoting the growth and progress of the city in which you live. Caution should sit at the driving-wheel. Everyone who takes an automobile into a public thoroughfare is under serious responsibility—the responsibility of safeguarding human lives. The careless driver is a public menace. But everyone has reason to rise up and call the careful driver blessed. A few little tubby gunboats on the Great Lakes constitute the only offensive and defensive armament the United States and the Dominion of Canada have maintained for more than 100 years. "O thus be it ever!" These two neighbor countries should abide in friendship and good will, side by side, setting the world the noblest example of international unity. Political campaigns of real educational value are to be welcomed. But a so-called "campaign of education" which consists of denouncing the opposing party is not really educational, but sheerly partisan. Partisanship is all right, provided it is not carried to extremes. Even a partisan campaign can be made educational. Let the party put before the people its own attitude on leading issues and truthfully and faithfully set forth its record thereon, and thus enlighten the people, instead of beclouding their judgment with denunciation of the opposition. This can be done with just as much loyalty to party as was involved in the old mud-slinging methods, and this reasoning, educative way is more convincing and carries more influence with the voter. PUBLIC'S INTERESTS ARE NEGLECTED The public, long neglected and its rights trampled upon, is receiving the attention it deserves—not so much as it deserves, in some instances, but much more than formerly. In the big industrial conflicts now going on, capital and labor have not been as considerate of the rights and the welfare on the public as they should be. But the government at Washington is interposing, and its strong arm is extended to protect the public from conscienceeless profiteering and from dearth of fuel. And in many other directions, governmental and other agencies are standing staunchly by the people, to protect them against rapacity and greed, and to prevent damages and disaster coming to them from stoppage of vital economic functionings. The people are entitled to this consideration: They should demand it and should use the necessary means to safeguard and to promote their interests. GIANT NEW AIRSHIP A gigantic aerial liner is being constructed at Southampton, the largest aircraft in the world, it is said. This great airship will be capable of speeding across the Atlantic in one day, it is said, and carrying thirty or forty passengers. The craft is being built to negotiate the seas in stormy, as well as fair weather. The hull is being constructed so as to be sea-worthy, and yet not retard flying. Great strides in aeronautics are being made. But so many marvels are being evolved that no one of them affords much attention from the sophisticated public. It does create a thrill, however, to have in prospect a one-day air voyage across the Atlantic in all kinds of weather. Frances, too, threatens to demand a moratorium. If this keep up, Enola is going to be the boy with the collection of moratoriums, all too.

CHEMICAL CORP. 2575 East Ninth St. Telephone Boyle 4424 Los Angeles, California Plain Dealer Want Ads Will Bring Results NEW YORK LETTER Dr. Herbert Mace is an authority on bees. He has written a book to prove it. Mr. Fabre does not outdo him in the unique things he tells of these busy little creatures. His particular interest is in their diseases. He insists that there should be bee doctors in every community, but since we know that this profession has not gained any great hold on our youth of today, there must be doctors among them. Else what would happen to them when they become ill? But as one takes their dog to an expensive doctor at the first sign of sickness, why not the same attention to these useful and more or less helpless little fellows. He gives bees a fairly good character in the book, chiefly because they will attend to their business very strictly unless they are disturbed. And that is more than can be said of most of us. He recommends dark cellars for their keeping and insists if you must go in for any personal affection for any of them that you pick a nice gentle queen bee for the favor. Now that seems logical, too. No actor ever came to the sudden appreciation of the public as did Ben-Ami last year in "Samson and Deliah." Our greatest stars were quick to acclaim him one of the greatest living actors, and those of the old school pointed out that it was his long foreign training in parts great and small, which fitted him for the opportunity when it came. He is now to open in "The Idle Inn" under the direction of Arthur Hopkins, who has the credit of awakening the public to his great merit as an emotional actor. There will not be a dramatic critic of any importance in the entire East who will miss the opening and since I am asked, I will play great and tell more later. Money for the purchase of new books for the New York public libraries has been out more than half since 1920, a recording to Franklin F. Hopper, chief of the circulation department. In that year it was $127,500. In 1921, $100,000, and now for 1922, it is $60,000. Fortunately some of the old books aren't half bad. "Tempora mutantur"—how the times change, and New York with them! Now it is the historic Van Corlear apartments, built in 1878, with all the memories of the seventies and early eighties, when the fathers of Ward, McAllister's famed "400" lived there, that is being demolished to make room for the new Hotel Commonwealth. With its huge rooms, ornamental mantels and rococo ceilings, the Van Corlear set a standard for its time that is only reflected in the apartments of Park-av, now the highest-priced apartment district in the world. Next to the Van Corlear another little bit of New York is going the way of all antiquities. Three of the finest brownstone dwellings, all intimately connected with the social life of New York, and they will be razed and swept up within a few days. Demolition in this city nowadays has a hint of the happenings "over there," since the destructors use high explosive—of course, with great care—and almost tumble the buildings down overnight. The Commonwealth with its thirty stories and 2500 rooms will be the greatest ornament of the Columbus Circle section in place of the poor old Van Corlear, which has become the most disreputable rat-haunt in the neighborhood. In addition, the Commonwealth will bring much business and many people to the district, since it is owned co-operatively, with the membership increasing all the while. Married men live just as long as single men if they're slick enough. A boy kin never repay his mother, but she never seems t' hold it against him. Town in Review Woof, woof, woof! Bow-wow!

SOMETIMES ONLY THEORETICALLY, HOWEVER From a golf rulebook: "Definition 18—In Play—A ball is 'in play' as soon as the player has made a stroke at the teeing ground." MONEY-MADNESS Edison thinks that Americans are drifting away from money-madness. The rest of the world claims that Americans worship the Almighty Dollar. Most of us have hypnotized ourselves into accepting this belief. An investigator coming by airplane from Mars would look us over and say: "The great characteristic of Americans is not a craze for money, but the ability to make it. People of other countries want wealth just as badly. The difference is, they have neither the resources nor individual abilities to make it." We are a great people to criticize ourselves and our institutions. JOKE FROM JUDGE: "Father, what does the American eagle stand for?" "Anything."

WISE AND WITTY All streets are narrow to those learning to drive a car, and wide to those who are assessed by the square foot for paving. A touch of mystery helps a lot in making a sale. Try and put in your time at something else than just growing older. The exercise you get in an office chair will not develop the chest muscles. Missionaries being sent to the Estimates won't get anywhere by telling how hot it is in hades. Conscience is worse punishment than prison. Men who wear corsets have about the same mental range as women who don't. Innocence is probably the poorest asset anyone can go into business with. Golfers, fishermen and real estate agents possess a marked genius in the art of avoiding facts. The boy without a college education who can make an honest living is better educated than a college graduate who can't.

Bush Street Phone 688-W MONTLORIA CALIFORNIA Monday, July 31, 1922 COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING THE WORLD GOES FORWARD—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette The Majestic, crossing the Atlantic in five days and sixteen hours, causes quite a little excitement. Yet time has been reduced very little on the ocean in the last thirty years. From seven days to six, to five and a fraction, the gains are steady, but considering the progress made in other directions, the percentage of gain is low. Comfort, luxury, safety, continuous touch with both shores by wireless, these have been increased to a high degree. But apparently those who wish to cut the speed of ocean transit in two, or three, with the possibility at any time of getting from New York to Liverpool in two days, from Tacoma to Yokohama in three or four, must look to the air for the accomplishment of their desires. Air traffic is in its infancy yet. It is quite likely that the fatalities among its pioneers are no greater than took place among the first new igators of dugout canoes. It is a long way from the dugout to the Majestic, and it is a long way from the most advanced of the air liner now plying daily between England and France and the ocean flyers of thirty years from now. There never in all the world's history was a more interesting and breathless time to live in—not the period of Leonardo da Vinci and Savanorola—not the period of Shakespeare and Elizabeth—not that of Julius Caesar or Pericles, not the most crowded periods of Egypt or Assyria or Chalden—or even that of Noah and the Ark. In Noah's day, for example, admission tickets to the show were limited too strictly. Today with newspapers and radio, we can all be in the fun. PLAGUES OF ENGLAND, MOSQUITOES, ANTS LONDON, July 25—English homes may soon have to take a lesson from those of their American cousins, and fit mosquito blinds screens to their windows. For the first time for hundreds of years, England is being attacked by swarms of mosquitoes, the greater percentage of which are said to be of the malaria-carrying type. With the mosquito hordes, have come millions of equally virulent insects, the Argentine ants. These latter, Prof. Leroy, insect bit specialist, declares, are capable of killing a baby in its cradle.
