DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Public opinion, founded upon intelligence and fairness, is one of the most potent influences in bringing about social and industrial justice. The public again appears likely to be the winner of the railway strike, and the Government of the coal strike, which means that neither side is victor. There cannot be too much sane, practical peace sentiment in this country and throughout the world. Through the crystallization of sentiment, peace will be brought nearer. What has become of the old-fashioned farmer who kept his son at work on the farm until he became of age, and then gave him a horse and a riddle and bridle to give him a start in the world? About gone are the days when the claim can be urged in behalf of a Presidential candidate that he was born in a log cabin. Some other means of showing the democratic origin of the candidate will have to be adopted. That is not honest and fair in politics which is not honest and fair in any other relation or activity of life. There is no warrant or excuse for doing in politics that which is objectionable in any other realm except the political. There are indications that voters are doing independent thinking in connection with the forthcoming ASPERSING OF PUBLIC MEN IS DEPLORABLE The aspersional tongue wags too freely in this country. Its venom is directed too often against men in public life. Public officials, in too many instances, are hounded with abuse and belittlement and coarse caricaturing. These things are defended by those who hold extreme views as to so-called freedom of speech. But the question arises among thinking, fair-minded persons: Is this liberty of speech, or is it a pernicious license of speech, which should be discountenanced? Not that there should be laws restricting criticism of public officials. But surely the laws should serve to protect the good name of a public officials as they protect a person in private life. Any slanderous tale—any defamatory report, assailing the character and integrity of a man in public position, should lay the person circulating such slanderous reports open to prosecution for criminal libel. Furthermore, the public official thus aspersed should not be compelled to bring suit for prosecution of those who libel him—this should be done for him, in the name of the people. Surely the man who gives his services to the people should be protected by the people while he is giving such service, against assaults which might ruin his reputation and wreck his career when he leaves public position. CONGRESS SESSION MAY END IN OCTOBER Congress may be ready to adjourn by the early weeks of October. The senate is making some headway on the tariff. When the wool schedule is completed, it is predicted that the remainder of the schedules and items will be passed over hurriedly. The That is not honest and fair in politics which is not honest and fair in any other relation or activity of life. There is no warrant or excuse for doing in politics that which is objectable in any other realm except the political. There are indications that voters are doing independent thinking in connection with the forthcoming California state primary. They are reading the statements of principles and purposes of the different candidates, and are listening to speeches, but seemingly are not being swayed by passion or prejudice. The people obviously desire a campaign of education and are bent upon using their best judgment in making choice for the respective positions. The advice of a noted expert, "buy suburban property," is sound. Which does not mean that close-in urban property is a poor investment. Quite the contrary. Close-in property is such good investment that many with modest means cannot afford to purchase it. But suburban property can be bought at favorable price and on easy terms. Automobiles and interurban trolley service make it possible to live in the suburbs and go back and forth daily to work or to business or professional office. The proposed joint luncheons of realty boards of Northern Orange County, the first of which will be held tomorrow at the Elks' Clubhouse, are an excellent way of solving the problem of cooperation for common ends. Such joint gatherings, first suggested here by President Henry Barbour of the Long Beach board, will also do much to promote good feeling among dealers of the towns concerned. CONGRESS SESSION MAY END IN OCTOBER Congress may be ready to adjourn by the early weeks of October. The senate is making some headway on the tariff. When the wool schedule is completed, it is predicted that the remainder of the schedules and items will be passed over hurriedly. The whole tariff measure can be put thru bottl houses of congress and full agreement reached, it is believed, by October 1. Meantime, it is believed that a bonus measure will be passed. But ship-subsidy, according to present forecasts, will go by the board for this session. President Harding has been insistent that subsidy legislation be enacted by this congress. It remains to be seen whether or not he can get his way as to this. It would be amiss, of course, to attempt to appraise the record of this congress until its work is ended. There has been much disappointment, however, over dallying and delay. The people feel that swifter progress could have been and should have been made in putting through to passage important measures upon which the economic welfare of the country depends, in large measure. There has been too much political maneuvering and playing for advantage. Despite these handicaps, however, the country has continued to readjust itself economically and to lay the groundwork for a remarkable era of prosperity. Now that Jack and Marilynn are wedded, let's hope that the world may regain its equanimity and move along in normal channels. There are failures in marriage, as there are failures in every other human institution. But the vast majority of marriages are not failures. Two kinds of friction It has been proved that as much as 20% of the power delivered to the driving wheels may be lost through friction, due to the use of an incorrect oil. of friction It has been proved that as much as 20% of the power delivered to the driving wheels may be lost through friction, due to the use of an incorrect oil. This friction may be of two kinds—the friction of metal on metal, due to the failure of the oil to preserve a lubricating film between the bearing surfaces, or the friction of oil on oil—the internal, molecular friction of the lubricant. Too heavy an oil, or an oil lacking in "oiliness"—the quality that makes it cling to the bearings while at the same time offering a minimum of internal or fluid friction—constitutes a direct drain on the available horsepower of your motor. The right body at all operating temperatures Made from carefully selected crudes and scientifically refined by our patented high-vacuum process, Zerolene has great "oiliness." It clings to bearing surfaces, while offering in itself a minimum of frictional resistance to the engine power. Zerolene maintains the right lubricating body under all conditions. As the engine gets hot, bearing clearances decrease. Analysis of Zerolene shows that the variations in its body, at the various engine temperatures, follow in close relation the decrease in bearing clearances. Because of their "oiliness," stability and purity, Zerolene oils give perfect lubrication and help to develop the maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage of the car.

Town in Review The Flathead Indians have made an honorary member of Uncle Warren Harding. NEWS ITEM BEVERLY HILLS., Calif., July 30. While airplanes overhead dropped flowers, a mob of thousands beseged the outer gates and a crowd of reporters, press agents, photographers and movie operators looked on Jack Pickford and Mary Miller were quietly married here today at a simple little secret wedding. At the special request of the relatives nothing is to be said about it. Alice Brady, the talented, polished actress, is playing under the management of her father at the Playhouse in a new melodrama filled with thrills but with considerably more character analysis than we ever got in the old melodrama, however good it might be as to action. "Drifting" is the rather intriguing title of the play and tells the story of a girl who insisted upon "seeing life" even at considerable expense of experience. She went to China under the chaperonage of two missionaries, but she didn't stay very close either to them or their ideals once she was there. She sang jazz in a Shanghai cabaret which does not sound like a pretty bad combination. Then in Tung Kow, where she visited the missionaries every spring, she met "Badlands McKinney," an officer and a gentleman, gone wrong. They almost wrecked their future together by being afraid to confess to each other their pasts. Finally, however, it is all put honestly behind them and they redeem each other. Even in the hasty, shifting life of a burglar, it would almost seem as though some kind of address were necessary. But Adolph Gisterer, arrested the other day in connection with burglaries totalling $20,000, proved to the satisfaction of the court that he was honest in declaring that he had none. Most of the time after dark he was "en route" he explained. Daytime he spent in branches of the public library, and for some few hours each night, he surreptitiously entered the basement of an apartment house on 79th street and slept in a bathtub conveniently located there. When arrested, Gisterer wore his entire household effects around his waist under his clothes. They consisted of a bath towel with a cage of soap and several needles with thread wrapped in its folds. The police said that in spite of his informant, by which is meant the thousands who make their two or three trips annually to Europe, is taking great interest in the new steamship "Conte Rosso" of the Lloyd Saboudo Line, which is now on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to New York. Spoken of in Scotland, where she was built as "the most luxurious liner afloat" these veteran ocean travellers are looking forward to visiting the ship when she is opened to the public at her Hudson River pier. Decorated by the foremost Italian artists at a cost of more than $400,000, Colonel Dr. M. Serrati promises that for beauty the Conte Rosso will be unsurpassed by any ship visiting this port. In addition to the luxurious accommodations which includes an open air dining room seating more than 500, the safety appliances of the ship are the modern n of any installed on a trans-Atlantic vessel. More than the usual number of life boats are provided which may be launched in pairs with absolute safety and there is a motor flagship for the life boat fleet which is equipped with wireless capable of sending more than 50 miles. Another Old Master has come to these shores. Unknown to any but a small circle of art lovers and connoisseurs it has been here nearly nine months. It is a Titanian in an almost perfect state of preservation and its genuineness has been duly attested. There are few Titans in the United States. This one is "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife" and is now in the possession of Romeo Donconi. It was brought here last March and has remained unknown for that length of time. The picture has had the interesting history of most masterpieces in that it has been lost, stolen and carried all over the world since the date of its painting. It will rest in one of the large galleries here. NEWS ITEM BEVERLY HILLS., Calif., July 30.

This is a beautiful piece of cloth. I went without a new suit of clothes just as long as I could, but finally had to get one the other day, and I know the cloth is not as heavy or as good as this sample, which is quoted at $2.50 a yard. Yet I paid $90 for the suit I just bought. It takes 3½ yards to make a suit, and the price of the suit I bought was $90.—Sen. McCumber, (R) North Dakota. Now the whole world knows what's the matter with Kansas! A New York dispatch says that the long skirts are proving a puzzle to dressmakers, shoemakers and milliners. They're proving a puzzle down on Fifth-st to the men, too. MR. GREY'S HOUSEHOLD HINTS An Akron company has begun the manufacture of rubber goldfish. Never throw away a piece of old linoleum. It can be used to make earmuffs to be worn when eating corn on the cob. An enamel lined bathtub should be given a thorough airing at least twice a year. It should be allowed to stand in the sun for several hours. A teaspoon of grated horseradish added to a custard pie will keep out the moths. Blackberry stains can be easily removed with a hammer and chisel. Sign in a down town restaurant: CHICKEN DINNER SUNDAY BRING YOUR OWN CHICKEN! Funny, but a poor man never becomes incompetent in his old age. Armour & Co., will sell the Russians 3000 cases of soap. The Russians have the water. Shall we come to the point of traveling by weight rather than by numbers? Will there be a set of scales or a tape measure instead of a jmetre in each taxicab? It almost looks as though something of the sort would have to be worked out. For Magistrate Corrigan has ruled that ten middges may ride in a taxi at the same rate as five full sized men. The ten middges rode in one taxi from their home at No. 10 West 70th street to a Washington Heights theatre. The meter registered $1.50. "Three dollars," said the chauffeur. "How come?" demanded the leading midget. "Five passengers go for the meter charge," the chauffeur explained. "Every additional person is extra." The middgets took the case in court. And won. Now then, how about giants? And will it be perfectly safe and economical to be fat if only one isn't too long? What has become of the youthful wild-oat sower? The ne'er do well but gilded youth who wasted his father's money on the white lights and their various lures, while his name stood for a constant accumulation of wild escapades? He's vanished; that's all. And in his place has come—the middle-aged wild-oater. Whether the war made youth more serious; whether fathers of this decade have cut down on allowances; or whether it's just a part of the world's queer turn-over, don't know. But certainly the man you see dining the show-girl in the restaurants today is not the youth who dined her ten years ago; it is the man over forty. The host at motor and roadhouse parties, where the pop of ice-cooled bottles is heard still, regardless of Mr. Volstead, has reached those same years. Here is one explanation I had given me, which may or may not be true: the "flapper," the young girl in the youth's own crowd, is as "good fun" today as the show-girl, whereas she didn't use to be. Moreover, it's the flapper who is as happy eating at Child's or from a "hot dog" wagon as she is in the Palais Royale. Therefore, the young fellow sticks to his own sister's friends and saves money, keeping out of escapes at the same time, while the "old duffer" continues to find in another life the excitement he can't months. It is a Titan in an almost perfect state of preservation and its genuineness has been duly attested. There are few Titans in the United States.

Even those persons who read books of instruction without regard to number may fall in acquiring the real benefits from reading. It is said of Benjamin Franklin that he was an omnivorous reader of the books and periodicals of his time, but it may be said to his advantage that much of the cheap literature, so called, of the present time was not in existence in the days of Franklin. In spite of his habits of reading, there is no indication that Franklin was ever troubled with mental bewilderment. "It is possible to clutter up the mind with a great deal of useless information," the Pittsburgh Post says. "It is a waste of time to read certain books and magazines; they serve no worthy purpose. Moreover, the number of things it is desirable to read is so large and the ordinary person's leisure is so limited that it behooves one to exercise care in the choice of reading matter." Of course, it is understood that any professional or business man or woman will keep posted on the things that qualify them for better service in their particular calling, but discrimination will be necessary in the selection of supplementary reading—such reading as will provide mental stimulation and appreciation of the best things in life.
