DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The bird has sung on every shore—Glad mortals listen and adore, And learn the joyfur air— The song of Love! Clouds break away, The sunshine hastens up the gray—'Tis daylight everywhere! —Amelia E. Barr. Did anyone ever make the weather better by complaining about it? The foreigner who will not Americanize in America sufficiently to be orderly and law-abiding and refrain from violence, should be sent back whence he came. Capital crimes are far too numerous, here in California. Murders are committed on slight pretexts. But alas! Few there be who are convicted and punished for committing murders! Veterans of the G. A. R. should be shown every respect and every possible proof of appreciation. Their last days should be sweetened by the affectionate gratitude of their country-men. Has anything so profoundly affected humankind, in an inventional way, as has the invention of the art of printing? Only God can appraise fully the influence of the art preservative upon humanity. The American Flag ever should be kept stainless. Never should there be any act on the part of this nation, in its relations with other countries, which would mar the glorious history emblemized by the Stars and Stripes. Commerce on the Pacific is destined to develop enormously. California will be in the thick of this de- WAR CLOUDS GATHERING While a peace conference has been called for the settlement of the problem of Turkey and the Near East, the ominous clouds of war are rolling toward Constantinople and the neutral zone. Great Britain gamely is preparing, not only to meet any attack, but to deliver a smashing blow should the Turk Nationalists violate the neutral zone. It is to be hoped that this threatened clash may be averted. But, should it come, Britain should be supported in delivering such a sound drubbing to the Ottoman trouble-makers that they would be subdued for an indefinite period. While the Turks have an immense army the British would far excel them, in a trial at arms, because of the superiority of Britain's weaponry. It would be harassing, of course, to the British empire to have a "holy war," but if it cannot be averted, the sympathetic support of all Christendom should be given Britain in taming those murderous hordes. HOME OWNERSHIP GREAT Owning a home buttresses a man morally. It dignifies his life. It anchors him and keeps him from driftung untowardly with the tide. It should add to the quality of a man's citizenship to possess the home in which he abides. It should give keen edge to his patriotism. Thanks to the methods of selling properties in this state, it is possible for those of limited means to buy a home by advancing a small sum and paying the balance like rent. Many are coming into possession of homes by this plan. It stimulates thrift with them. For it is realized that money must be saved to meet monthly payments, or else the whole investment would be hazarded. There is zest, too, in saving and managing and making little self-denials to pay home. There's too much printed these days alienable right pleases an' fer by those who h Tipton Bud miss at a-theater las't hold a burgl come.

Only God can appraise fully the influence of the art preservative upon humanity. The American Flag ever should be kept stainless. Never should there be any act on the part of this nation, in its relations with other countries, which would mar the glorious history emblemized by the Stars and Stripes. Commerce on the Pacific is destined to develop enormously. California will be in the thick of this development. The whole state will benefit by the great volume of trade which will pour in and out through California's ports. It will be a long, long time before a really great, comprehensive history of the World War is written. The tragic cataclysmal events of that period must needs be viewed through the long telescope of the years to bring out the proper perspective. The person who lives near to Nature and who loves the benign mother and communes with her, gets keen enjoyment out of life. For Nature reciprocates love and brings peace and restfulness and repose to those who love her whole-souledly. He who ceases to be a student, loses half the interest and much of the zest of existence. One does not live up to one's opportunities who does not maintain studious habits throughout life. The person of 80 should be learning as eagerly as the child of 8. TOLERANCE PREVAILS IN THIS AGE This is an age of toleration. Compared with some of the ages of the past, it is amazingly tolerant. In a land of political and religious freedom like this, one may exercise the utmost liberty, so long as one does not endanger the established order of government through violence or methods inhabited by the Constitution and the laws of the land. Bigotry is seldom found. And it has little or no influence when it is found. Toleration is the order of the day in every proper sphere of thought, or conviction, or action. One may belong to any political faith that really is a bona fide faith, and not be questioned or molested in any way. The same is true as to religious tolerance. This is, indeed and in truth, a free country. Every liberty that is not license may be enjoyed by the humblest citizen or alien resident.

Make that impression a favorable one by having a well-painted porch. BRADLEY' PORCH PAINT, as its name implies, is made for that specific purpose. It is extremely durable and dries with a high gloss that is unaffected by pounding heels, rain, sun or moisture. H. N. WHITE 142 E. Center St. Anaheim BRADLEY-WISE PAINT CO.

ALER Sunday R, Editor EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen Home is a place where one has to stop for a moment to get the golf clubs. Apparently civilization is just a slow and painful process of accumulating more middlemen. Othere court officials may frown upon him, but the criminal can always count on old General de Lay. We trust there is enough cash in the Greek treasury to buy Constantine a nice little place at Doorn. About the only fun some people have is feeling scornful about the way the neighbors waste their money. A stranger from Mars probably wouldn't know whether they are dancing or whetting their shoulder blades. The best treatment for a "terrible temper" is a hot shingle applied to the seat of the trouble. Failure to reduce fat is generally the result of trying to reduce it without reducing the greccery bill. About the only difference is that the batchelor has nobody to tell him about the dandruff on his coat collar. Still, what does it profit a man to live forever and sit in the chimney corner to count his goat glands? Correct this sentence: "I know my ankles are a fright," said she, "but I am sorry to see long skirts coming back." That Spartan youth who grinned COMMENTS OF THE PRESS CHURCHES' MONETARY OUTLAY —Riverside (Cal.) Press The churches of America raised during their last respective fiscal years at least a half-billion dollars. Reports from the various religious bodies gathered by the Federal Council of Churches and published in its Year Book of the churches give the exact figures as $488,424,084, but they do not tell the whole story. Owing to the various methods of gathering statistics in the different churches some of the reports include only part of the total amounts raised. Some for instance, report missionary offerings only. In many cases the figures represent a minimum. Of he total raised, the combined Methodist bodies lead with $130,730,479. The Roman Catholic church is second with $75,368,294. The combined Baptists are third with $60,798,534. The standing of the leading denominations according to the official figures of each is: Methodist Episcopal North ... $85,934,000 Roman Catholic ... 75,368,294 Presbyterian (North) ... 87,036,442 Southern Baptist Convention ... 34,881,032 Protestant Episcopal ... 33,859,832 Methodist Episcopal (South) ... 33,859,832 Northern Baptist Convention ... 21,926,143 Congregationalists ... 21,233,412 These figures show that each of the 46,242,130 church members of the country gives at least $10 per year to the support of his church and its work.

"Wife Who Wouldn't Settle Down" is a new novel, but the man who won't settle up is an old story. No matter where a man goes, his laundry mark is sure to follow. FISH One and two-cent per pound tariff is going to raise fish prices, dealers announce. All right, boys, so long as it is only one and two cents per pound. But if it works the way such increases have worked in some instances in other businesses, the one and two cents will be five and 10 cents by the time the increase gets to the consumer. That is if it works the way it has worked in some instances in other businesses. HOW TO MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS! Truckman who found Galli Curcl's lost jewels gets $1500 reward. Somebody is going to get rich if Evan Burrows Fontaine ever loses her beads! (For the benefit of the women—the men probably will remember—Evan Burrows Fontaine is the dancer who danced recently with nothing but a bead costume between her and the police station). One Prof. Becker has written a history of our independence. One man calls it ancient history. Boston man claims his wife turned the table on him—also a chair and a garden hose. NECK AND NECK The race in the American league grows hotter every day. The New York Yankees are now about $300,000 ahead. Failure to reduce fat is generally the result of trying to reduce it without reducing the grocery bill. About the only difference is that the batchelor has nobody to tell him about the dandruff on his coat collar. Still, what does it profit a man to live forever and sit in the chimney corner to count his goat glands? Correct this sentence: "I know my ankles are a fright," said she, "but I am sorry to see long skirts coming back." That Spartan youth who grinned while a fox gnawed his vitals wasn't unique. We've seen men do it while moonshine did it. As proof that a family helps a man to get on in the world, you will observe that there are more touring cars than roadsters. If the human race got all its faults from Adam, that old boy was so hard-bolled steel couldn't have dented him. And yet the man whose name is in Who's Who doesn't receive as much flattering mall as the man whose name is on a sucker list. Fable: Once there was a book reviewer who was so clever he didn't think it necessary to knock everything in order to prove it. Of course the public appreciates the fact that radio programs are free, broadcasting free verse is carrying generosity too far. An experienced business man is one who realizes that the chap who called six times while he was out isn't trying to give him anything. THEATRES Al Ritchie, daring athlete who climbed the Woolworth building, is seen in person at the California today. Hilda Ritchie, "marvelous" girl, is also on the program, as is also Dorothy Dore, said to be the world's most shapely girl-model. Constance Talmadge is seen in "The Primitive Lover."

From the figures available, the 1,104,029 members of the Protestant Episcopal church are the most generous of the larger communions, their average gift being $31.59 a year. The 397,058 members of the Presbyterian church in the United States (South) are second with a per capita gift of $30.54. Third place is held by the members of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America (North) with an annual gift of $27.31 each. The Congregationalists gave $25.92 each, while the Northern Methodists give $21.82 each. Other large communions, according to the figures available, give as follows: Northern Baptists, $17.48; members of the United Lutheran church of America, $14.75; Southern Methodists, $14.43; and Southern Baptists, $10.90. Fuller returns from some of the churches might change this standing considerably but these figures are the best available from the facts obtainable. The per capita gift of the Roman Catholics of the country is $4.21, but that church includes in its membership "Catholic population" and most of the Protestant churches include only communicant members. A fair comparison on a common basis would show Roman Catholics as $11.80 per capital. For many years the Roman Catholics were considered the most generous of all churches, but in recent years the leading Protestant communions have adopted new methods of raising money, such as the every member canvass, and many of them have undoubtedly forged ahead of the Roman Catholics in per capita gifts.
