DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR PRESIDENTS’ WIVES IN HALL READERS Sweetly on our spirits move; Gently touch the trembling strings, Make the harmony of love Music for the King of kings. —Anonymous. Practicing thrift is a sound, useful practice. That uprising in Mexico seems to have had a downfalling. So many persons talk high principles but do not live them. Capital and labor should be cooperating friends, not warring enemies. One never has reason to be ashamed of or apologetic for living in California. California, as a state, is seventy-two years old. But it does not look a day older than sixteen. The consumers of coal, in the Eastern states, should not be the vietims of profiteering greed. California has scenery to match the most beautiful and most sublime and majestic in the world. Ohio cares not what state names the Vice-Presidents, so long as it names the Presidents. The person who loves children and who romps with them frequently, has found a fountain of youth. It should be possible to conduct a spirited political campaign without indulging in personal abuse. It is not alone severity of punishment that makes a law feared, but certainty of rigid enforcement. If Congress would only lose some of its powers, we would see more people in the hall reading these daily greetings to our presidents’ wives in halls of fame. The wife of the President of the United States is a conspicuous figure. No matter how simple, retiring and unostentatious she may be, she is the titular “First Lady of the Land” and in that position the white light or conspicuousness plays about her personality. Mrs. Harding’s illness has brought to the minds of the people the important role that the wife of the President plays. Several “first ladies” stand out in relief—Martha Washington; Dolly Madison; Lucy Webb Hayes; Frances Folsom Cleveland (now Mrs. Preston). These and others have been and are notable names in the annals of the country. The example of the woman who bears the distinction of being the wife of the President is potent indeed. Women imitate her in many things, even to the color of her dress and her millinery. In charity and philanthropy, in social graces and in boon companionship with her husband and family, the “First Lady” becomes a leading and exemplary figure before the country and before the world. NEW LEADERS PROBABLE IN CONGRESS This Congress is notoriously defective in leadership. In truth, no Congress of recent years has appeared before the country in sorrier flight as to leadership. Without purpose to disparage, it may be said that there is no great, outstanding, statismanly figure in leading place either in the majority or the minority in either house of Congress. Indeed, one who studies statesmanship at Washington critically, is almost led to throw up hands in despair. One is led to look back twenty-five years and to exclaim, “There were giants in those days!” And involuntarily one is led to exclaim that COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING Adder's Tongue then tragedy—Sioux City Tribune One woman is dead. Another woman may soon be standing in the shadow of the gallows. A husband's happiness has come crashing down about his ears. All because of a wagging tongue. So runs the news dispatcher. Mrs. Clara Phillips, Los Angeles, is charged with killing a human being. She is said have suspected that the dead woman was stealing her husband's affections; that her husband bought the other woman tires for a motor car, a wrist watch. A wagging tongue told her so. She is reported to have thought her husband had been in the company of the dead woman. The night on which Mrs. Phillips believed her husband had been indiscreet, however, there was but a casual meeting, it seems, downtown, and the dead woman was with her sister. A word or two by way of greeting in meeting. But a tongue wagged. Investigation has disclosed that the dead woman purchased her car tires and watched out of her own Congress of recent years has appeared before the country in sorrier plight as to leadership. Without purpose to disparage, it may be said that there is no great, outstanding, statesmanly figure in leading place either in the majority or the minority in either house of Congress. Indeed, one who studies statesmanship at Washington critically, is almost led to throw up hands in despair. One is led to look back twenty-five years and to exclaim, "There were giants in those days!" And involuntarily one is led to exclaim that there are too many pigmies today, standing in Congress, where giants formerly stood. There is to be an overhauling of leadership, after the November elections, whatever the result, Washington reports indicate. It is to be hoped that the changes may be for the better as to statesmanly quality and forefulness of leadership. If there were strong, influential, virile leadership in House and Senate, important legislation would not be delayed and the calendars of Congress would not be clogged with measures which should be given prompt consideration. The law should be supreme in the respect of all—supreme in governing the actions of all. BEAUTY SHIFT (By Tom) Never cuss a woman nails are long.

Center Anaheim EDITORIAL Abe Martin New York Letter NEWYORK, Sept. 14. — Opera training certainly does develop one's voice. The other afternoon, the most terrible screams I ever heard suddenly penetrated my office walls, evidently coming from the street 11 floors below. For at least four minutes, a woman screamed, with agony, terror and everything else blood-curdling in her voice. To me, it meant only one thing: some poor mother was seeing her child crushed beneath the wheels of a motor truck. Every window in the neighboring buildings were thrown open and office workers leaned out while crowds came running from Fifth-ace. But no child had been injured, no one's bones had been broken. A former musical comedy singer had just discovered her husband whom she had been seeking for six years in order to get the allmony due her! It seems she was standing in the entrance to our building when she saw him pass by. The screams followed. Albert Gallatin Wheeler, the husband in question, said that he never was so glad to see a policeman as he was the one who arrived first and calmed the screams. And they say that motion pictures do not tend to elevate. What about this? A month ago, Morris Koln was raided by burglars and all of his private stock of pre-prohibition liquor stolen. The other day, he found almost all of it stacked on his front porch and the following note tied to one package: "Here's some of your booze back. Since we took it we got to thinking you might get sick and not have any, and guys die from being cut off sudden. If we hadn't seen a movie on Fourteenth-st today, where a guy almost croaks for want of ad rink, you would not be getting this note or the stuff. We'll TH' nearest we've come t' hearin' any of our women voters discuss th' great political questions o' t'day is an occasional reference t' "that ole Wilson," or "that ole Hardin." What's th' use o' havin' any rights if we've got t' keep waivin' 'em or git killed? TOWN IN REVIEW Jess Williard says his seconds' throwing a towel into the ring was what stopped the fight at Toledo. We think Jess is depending a lot on what somebody has told him about it. TOWN IN REVIEW Jess Williard says his seconds' throwing a towel into the ring was what stopped the fight at Toledo. We think Jess is depending on what somebody has told him about it. A Michigan man thinks he is the devil. A man shouldn't believe everything his wife tells him. Woman accused of a "hammer murder" in Los Angeles says she'll need no lawyers for her defense. If they give her a couple of hammers and turn her loose in the courtroom, she won't. KIND WORDS A bright-eyed waitress approached the customer and asked, "Can I take your order?" "Yes. Two hard-bolled eggs and a few kind words." The waitress brought the eggs and was moving on when the customer said, "Say! How about those kind words?" The waitress leaned over and whispered, "Don't eat the eggs." BEAUTY SECRET ( By Tom Sims Never cuss a woman whose fingernails are long. Terrible thing about girls showing their ears is they may wiggle them when they dance.

We'll be interested when they start eliminatin gstrange prices. One sign of fall is when the frost is on the pumpkin and the shock is in the price. In wonder if our rock-ribbed Manhattan Island might crumble to pieces from the rough treatment we are giving it. Geological experts are telling us that the sudden bursting of water mains and collapse of building walls which have occurred here recently may be due to powerful blasts a mile away from the spot. The island is made up of rock strata which runs the entire length of the city. A blast set off at any point on one of these may be felt some distance away powerfully enough to do the damage. One of the wildest of these strata, according to geological authorities, runs diagonally across the city with its center near Columbus Circle. The most extensive excavations in operation on the island right now are those of the Commonwealth Hotel, just before been felt at Madison ave and Forty-second-st tends to substantiate this theory. A group of geologists will use this district as a basis for investigation in order to decide what methods would best protect the city from blasting shock. It seems like a pretty safe world, after all. Two of the passengers on the Homeric when it landed here the other day, were Raymond Knight, aged seven, and his sister, Phyllis nine, who crossed all alone in the steerage after a visit to their parents' families in England. The children announce a fine voyage and no lane-liness. "A Fantastic Fricasce' is the initial attraction of the new season at the Greenwich Village Theater.

When Warren A. Kipp, Jr., son of the general manager of the Nuclear Sugar Refining Co., eloped with 18-year-old Dorothy Bulleyment, his family dis-inherited him, or at least cut off him present allowance. Now it is essential to him to have some sort of income because he is finishing his course at Columbia University. So the young wife has secured a job as a cloak model and is helping him to complete his education while he trying to find something to do outside of college hours.

For each man there is some one job for which he is better fitted than anyone else. People are forever being told to "work hard." More important is to find good work for which they are best fitted.
