DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR COURTSHIP BY CONTROL OF READERS The star has risen large and clear. The glorious Day-Ster! Far and near Men hall the Glorious sign That haralds in the brighter day. The broader thought, the better way, Once trod by feel divine. Amelia E. Barr. When sincerity is taken out, friendship is an lifeless as would be the human body without a heart. Turkey will continue to be Europe's nightmare, it seems. Give your thoughts a clean bill of health. Clean, healthy thinking influences one toward clean, healthy living. The Turk, it seems, may be mollied right now without a war. But will the mollyfying last long? That is the risk, in dealing with the unscrupulous Ottoman. Hatred and malice are cankerous. The one who habitually hates and is malicious, poisons the springs of existence for himself or herself. That process injures the hater far more than the hated. Congress is going to the country on its record. The people will pass verdict on the work of the session just closed. They have abundance of enlightenment. Their decision will be deliberate, and will be awaited with profound interest. It promises to be a good season for California, in the matter of the coming of tourists and homeseekers. There is great interest in California and as the economic skies clear the number of people who will be in position to come is increased. Americans, as a rule, eat too much. Great numbers of them cut impure. Ways and means for conducting courtships with due privacy and romantic environment, and yet removed from the pitfalls of questionable places, is engaging the attention of church folk. Some churches in the large cities ahev courting parlors where young people may meet and cultivate friendships which in many instances, ripen into love and culminate in marriage. One Kansas City pastor has dedicated the two rear pews of his church to the in the large cities have courting while the older folk sit up front and keep their eyes on the pastor and not on the lovemaking youngsters. These things are not frivolous, nor should they be regarded lightly. It were well if churches gave more attention to the life of their young people. If marriage is to be perpetuated as a sacred institution, it must have thrown about it the refining, spiritualizing influences of the Christian religion. In large centers of population, many young men and young women, cramped by the conditions of industrial life, have not the opportunity to meet each other under proper auspices to form acquaintances and to develop romances. Condemnated to live in a single room or small suite, with no private parlor privileges, what are such, young folk to do for suitable courting places, if the churches do not provide them? PROMOTE BEAUTY FOR CULTURAL VALUE Beauty has value. It is a tangible asset. It is worth dollars and cents to a community. It is worth immensely more, in cultural values. The City Beautiful is the popular city—the desirable place to live. The City Beautiful realizes profits on its beauty, because its beauty enhances the value of its property. One reason signs is because fellers with droops around "soft dress depends on livin' with." PROMOTE BEAUTY FOR CULTURAL VALUE Beauty has value. It is a tangible asset. It is worth dollars and cents to a community. It is worth immensely more, in cultural values. The City Beautiful is the popular city—the desirable place to live. The City Beautiful realizes profits on its beauty, because its beauty enhances the value of its property. This, however, is the crassly material side of it. Every city should beautify itself primarily from love of beauty, and not because of the monetary value of such beautification. There is a refining, elevating influence in beauty of environment that is felt by all who come under its influence. Ornate streets and park; handsome homes and gorgeous grounds; little bungalows and cottages made entrancing beautiful by flowers and shrubs and a bit of deft care on the part of owners—all these things are of immense value and benefit to a community. Should automobile speed races become spectacles of carriage like that at Kansas City in which Roscoe Sarles met death and others narrowly escaped fatalities, public sentiment would be arrayed against them. Friends of the sport should strive to eliminate all reckless driving and to make the hazards as few as possible.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Stealing bags out of automobiles doesn't sound like an exceedingly lucrative occupation. It would hardly give anyone more than a meagre living. I would have said. But Frederick A. Lester knew better. By just loafing around Fifth avenue in the shopping district and taking an occasional bag or suitcase cut of a waiting car, he has been able to accumulate several thousand dollars worth of saleable stuff within the past eight weeks. He loafed a little too long, and the other day he was caught at it. Next to the physician there is probably no one in whom people confide as freely and voluably as the artist who is doing their portraits. Partly as a result of this, the best book of "inside stories" which I have come across in a long, long time is "A World Worth While", by William A. Rogers, dean of American cartoonists. Maybe I'm prejudiced because Mr. Rogers is a newspaper artist, and has the inside newspaper slant on men and affairs; but I don't believe that's it. It's such a human, dissecting book that anyone will enjoy it who never saw the inside of a newspaper office. Mr. Rogers was head cartoonist on the New York Herald for seventeen years and charter member of the Life staff. So his analytical powers had plenty of opportunity for development, and he shows them in "A World Worth While". Such figures appear in the book of Roosevelt, Gatfield, Mark Hanna, McKinley, Abboz, Frost, Pyle, Mast, P. T. Barnum and Mark Twain. Then they find themselves in the place of cracking peanut hulls. PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen Blessed are the pace makers, for they shall get a raise. Every man has moments of depression when he wonders what an appendix and he were made for. If the meek inherit much now it is proof that their deceased sire wasn't noted for meekness. Both coal and diamonds are carbon. The difference is that lots of people can afford diamonds. So many rich men's sons marry women who can't support them in the style in which they were raised. A radio concert is just as good as the movies, and the static takes the place of cracking peanut hulls. Another way to get on your feet is to forget to look at the gasoline. Old job was patient, but it is probable that he never had to help a small son with an arithmetic lesson. It might be well to remind Turkey that many an initial success is discounted by an attack of swell-head. The most offensive thing about a liar is his assumption that you have little enough sense to believe him. A philosopher is one who realizes that trouble is just Opportunity knocking to offer him a little exercise. The victorious Turks probably burned Smyrna just as the French burned villages as they drove the Germans back. Why shouldn't people look up? It is comforting to look in some direction that affords unlimited parking space. GOD'S COUNTRY Southern California, Straight Ahead Where mountains and the sea doth wed. Where in fertile valleys the cattle graze Knee deep in grasses, and mountain maze. Where peace and plenty reign supreme Much more than man has ever dreamed Where willing hands, and level heads Can from the soil extract their bread. Where earth gives up its golden ore And from its depths spring oil galore. Where wealth abounds one every hand In California—Our chosen land. The land of plenty. God's own country this Where the golden fruit, by dew is kissed And the air is laden with fragrance sweet, A balm for the weary—If such we meet. Where the walnut and the almond thrive. And the bumble bee is much alive Oh, there's life and action on every hand In the depths, and surface of this great land. God grant it so for years to come Until thousands more have ceased to roam. And in this land have pitched their tent To share with us what God has sent To Southern California. —Julia A. Welch.

Witness's inside newspaper slant on men and affairs; but I don't believe that's it. It's such a human, discerning book that anyone will enjoy it who never saw the inside of a newspaper office. Mr. Rogers was head cartoonist on the New York Herald for seventeen years, and charter member of the Life staff. So his analytical powers had plenty of opportunity for development, and he shows them in "A World Worth While". Such figures appear inthe book as Roosevelt, Gaffield, Mark Hanna, McKinley, Abbe, Frost, Pyle, Mast, P. T. Barnum and Mark Twain. There are stories there which these men told Mr. Rogers of themselves while he drew them, and stories which they told him of other people. And it is an interesting bit of human psychology that great men say things to an artist which they wouldn't think of saying to a reporter. It would be good-by to the day of the bachelor girl, if Mme. Sushila Devi, Hindu lecturer and writer, had her way. Mme. Devi, who is here lecturing, explains that she believes marriage should be compulsory, and that no young woman should be allowed by law to reach the age of thirty without matrimonial ties. As for unhappy marriages—come to the orign, she tells us, and learn contentment. It is only a matter of attaining the proper frame of mind. Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton do amazingly good work in "La Tendresse" which opened at the Empire Theatre the other night. Not that one is amazed at splendid work by either of them, but just that they are cast in roles which would be impossible for less capable and finished actors. The play is from the French and is the story of a great writer and his irregular love affair, with a girl who, according to the peculiar logic of the play "loved him so much that she was untrue to him". Briefly told, it would sound like a crude and unpleasant plot, but it is by Henry Bataille, and that means that it is written as well as it is acted, so that it becomes something quite different from and better than synopsis could sound. Early to bed and early to rise, and you'll be healthy enough to hold down a job at 42 cents an hour. When both sides wish to compromise, it isn't because both are reasonable, but because both think they are licked. These people who bear their burdens in silence would deserve a lot of praise if they didn't talk about it so much. It is difficult to see a ray of hope in a land where love is blind and justice is blind and the tigers are blind. Smoking may become general among women, but you'll never see one pulling on a cigarette while mixing the dough. Correct this sentence: "Isn't it nice" chorused the family, "to have no place to go and get to spend the evening at home like this." (Protected by Associated Editors) WISE AND WITTY The "higher education" teaches you how to let the other folks do the hard work. A cash register never made a man honest, because honesty is something you can't manufacture by machinery. A conservative is a radical who has grown too fat to run. Heroes do not run to pressed pants plug hats or wrist watches. You can leanr a lot by listening. A profession rarely goes forward until it is kicked. Honesty is a great asset, but a lot of folks seem to get along fairly well without it. Miller and Robins 206 NORTH LOS ANGELES ST. SIGNS PHONE 362 ANAHEIM You needn’t fear the Wolf when the door is your own. Have you been toking ten or twenty years to “keep” the wolf from the door?” If you have, it’s proof that you have not taken out the surest insurance against the dreaded monster—that of owning your own home. The wolf seldom stops at your own home door—It is almost always at the door of a rented house or apartment that he tarries and eventually finds entrance. Think it over. Consider the luxuries you are indulging in, including the luxury of pilling up old rent receipts. One each month—year after year—until you have a hundred or two souvenirs which you would be glad to dispose of for a postage stamp. Business men are constantly building and rebuilding. It is a part of their success. Make the principle part of your own life. Start to acquire a home today while you are able. It will be the dearest spot on earth for many a long year, and old age or sickness will be a tower of protection over which or into which no “wolf” of misfortune can leap or find entrance. Our service department is ready to furnish you with a choice of thousands of plans of modern, convenient and within-your-reach homes. We’d be glad to talk it over with you.

Copyright, 1922, Associated Editors COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING CHEATING THE OCEAN DEPTHS New York Evening Post Add Hayes—Harvey C. Hayes, naval physicist—to the list of great American oceanographers headed by Maury Not that Hayes actually goes out and charts the depths. Instead he sits in his laboratory and by applying mind to matter has worked out a sounding device so simple and easy of operation that the whole science is thereby revolutionized. Hayes has made the charting of the ocean floor so simple that oceanography henceforth will be Tomlinson. While the Capella's crew thought the ship still in deep water, Tomlinson heard the man in the bow sing out: "By the lead twenty-five and gray sand." So they knew they were off Brazil near Para. Score one for the lead; not as yet can the telltale echo of the physicist inform the ship's company whether the sand be gray or red or yellow, or whether it be sand at all. Old salts we may be sure, will get what comfort they can out of that. CHEATING THE OCEAN DEPTHS New York Evening Post Add Hayes—Harvey C. Hayes, naval physicist—to the list of great American oceanographers headed by Maury Not that Hayes actually goes out and charts the depths. Instead he sits in his laboratory and by applying mind to matter has worked out a sounding device so simple and easy of operation that the whole science is thereby revolutionized. Hayes has made the charting of the ocean floor so simple that oceanography henceforth will be as tame as measuring cloth. Hayes's device measures the watery depths by timing echoes. It emits a sound and then waits for the rebound. Since sound travels at a definite speed through water, the depth may be instantly calculated. Deep sea tests can be made at the rate of one a minute. On test between Newport and Gibraltar 900 soundings were made in ten days under way at fifteen knots. The sea bottom can now be accurately charted with maximum speed and minimum inconvenience. Cable routes can be determined in a fraction of the time formerly required. Progressive steamship companies no doubt will inform passengers at frequent intervals just how far they are from the bottom of the sea—if the passengers show an interest in that sort of information. Thus in due course will pass the chief utility for the sounding lead, an instrument unchanged through many generations of seafaring men. The ceremony of the lead seems to have enchanted all our modern literary salts, from Melville to LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Plain Dealer: The Fair is over. It has been a success. After one has been successful in an undertaking, they should also seek to remember why. To my mind the question is easily answered in regard to this Fair. The people of Orange-co whole-heartedly co-operated in the building of the Fair, but they might have built the most wonderful fair in the world and without publicity it would have failed. The only way to secure publicity is through the columns of the news-papers, the most potent factor there is in the up-building of our community. You have been liberal with the columns of your paper in telling the story in regard to this Fair, and as chairman of the publicity committee I want to say to you that I personally deeply appreciate your co-operation. I feel that I speak for every member of the board of directors when I say they join me in this sentiment. With deepest sense of gratitude I am sincerely yours, Orange County Fair Publicity Committee—R. L. Bisby chairman.
