DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Now and then something touches the dull dream of sense and custom, and the desolation vanishes away; the spirit leaves its witness with us; the divine realities come up from the past and straightway enter the present. James Martineau. Most persons have more imagined troubles than real ones. In the home where there is father, mother and a baby, the baby is the majority of the family. Extravagance is a species of folly that resists hurtfully upon the individual and the nation. There is no strength quite so overpowering and majestic as that which comes from being in the right. The false friend is the one who clings to one in prosperity, but who flees from one at the first sign of adversity. Interest in baseball is unabated with millions of Americans as the years go by. It is a sport that never grows stale. The troubles which are most wearing upon the nerves are those which never come—the imagined or the magnified ones. The habit of thrift should be incultivated in children. It is a habit beneficial to the person who is thrifty and its benefits are reflected upon the community. Political campaign speaking is not so interesting and so influential as it once was. The voter who reads and thinks, has no special need of campaign oratory. Where is there music sweeter than that of a deep-toned church bell? There is something in the peal of a SOUTHLAND BUILDING IS PHENOMENAL Los Angeles and its neighboring cities, including Pasadena, are far in the lead of all large centers of population in the country in volume of building construction. From no less authority than the statistical bureau of the Department of Labor at Washington comes the astonishing announcement that Los Angeles has in process or under contract a greater total construction than the combined volume, of building in the three cities of New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Los Angeles County is truly the Nation's "white spot" in building. It has been so for a long time. It bids fair to carry this distinction for a long time to come. People have faith in this Southland. They are backing their faith by tremendously heavy aggregate developmental investments. This faith is not misplaced. Those who believe in this section will not awaken to any sad disillusionment. Their faith is justified. Their judgment, In investing here, is sound. This Southland's development will continue, because its intrinsic merits are abiding and permanent. STOP ALL MUSIC FOR DAY IN PORTLAND "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." The city of Portland, Oregon, is bent upon finding out whether the absence of music from that city for one day would make the heart of the people grow fonder of music. The city council of Portland has set aside November 4 as a day to be without music, either vocal or instrumental. This novel notion was nurtured by the Portland Musicians' Club. The purpose is to impress the people with the important place that music has in the enjoyment of daily life. Deprived of melody for twenty-four hours, the people of Portland should manifest unmistakably their interest in music and their support. The habit of thrift should be inculcated in children. It is a habit beneficial to the person who is thrifty and its benefits are reflected upon the community. Political campaign speaking is not so interesting and so influential as it once was. The voter who roads and thinks, has no special need of campaign oratory. Where is there music sweeter than that of a deep-toned church bell? There is something in the peal of a bell that stirs the responsive human soul to its depths. Those Turkish Nationalists seem to be spoiling for a flight. If the British were to set in and give them a sound drubbing, the peace of Southeastern Europe might be assured for a long period. No, Californian has to go to Switzerland, or Scotland, or anywhere beyond the borders of this state, to revel in scenery beautiful and sublime. This state's endowment from Nature's God is rich and abundant in scenic variety. There are far too many automobile accidents. One fatal accident every forty-two minutes in the United States, the year around, is an appalling record. An alarming total of 12,500 persons killed in auto mishaps during 1921, is a tragic record too horrible to contemplate complacently. Rev.

EDITORIAL NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—If you are arrested, take a baby to court with you—borrow one if you don’t own one. Babies are helpful in many of life’s crises; but never more so than in the court room. Mrs. Rose Vengues, of Tenth-st., was arrested the other day for stealing a baby carriage. There was considerable to said on her side. The repair man who had her own in his shop didn’t get it done when he promised to, and as he had left for the day when she went after it, she wheeled out another and took her child home in it. The next day, when she returned it to the shop, he had her arrested. She took her carriageless baby to court with her, and at the first word of condemnation to the prisoner, the baby set up a vehement howl. Magistrate Dale was frankly embarrassed. He turned from judicial considerations and tried to act as peacemaker. It worked fine. But when he turned back to the motterer, the yells arose once more. A few minutes was enough. No one could hear the testimony. "Dismissed," cried the judge; and the baby cooed. I suppose there is no other word which spells luxury to the average one of us like Nassau—and the Bahamas. I am not an imperialist, wanting Uncle Sam to go about taking territory; but I always have been moaned a bit because the Bahamas were not a possession of ours. Now, we are about to take possession in one sense, at least and get all we can out of that leisure, that beauty, that semi-tropic quality that makes Nassau so wonderful. Club men of all parts. PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen A boundary line is a national growth, not a mark on a map. The old stage hold up has been revised on a larger scale. All the world’s stage. "In dealing with Turkey the nations have common cause." Also, we trust, common sense. A sophisticated girl is one who can kiss with so little skill as to make it seem the first one. This is the season when he-men begin to make futile resolves not to wear heavy ones this winter. It is a wise political party that leaves the tax-payer a little spare change for campaign contributions. Some people indulge their appetites in the things they enjoy, and some keep good health. TOWN IN REVIEW "Back in the trenches by Christmas" is Europe's slogan. TOM SIMS ASKS: Why shouldn’t the ex-kaiser marry? He has enough wood cut to last all winter. Aviaton landed in a field and cows. Some drivers wreck their cars when blinded by headlights, but more wreck them when blinded by moonshine. An injunction will stop a row if everybody is looking eagerly for a reasonable excuse to call off the dogs. If grafting isn’t stopped in Cuba, Uncle Sam will do something. It is too bad that only charity begins at home. There are two kinds of old man: the one the community calls "old man Hleks," and the one the community calls "Dad." It is sad to Greeks being burned, but it usually happens when one engages to rake chestnut out of the fire. The election of some progressives TOWN IN REVIEW "Back in the trenches by Christmas is Europe's slogan. TOM SIMS ASKS: Why shouldn't the ex-kaiser marry? He has enough wood cut to last all winter. Avinton landed in a field and cows licked the castor oil off his machine. A boy thinks they wanted to stay home from school. The house has appropriated $2500 to exterminate the bugs at the capital. But since they are elected, what can be done? If you're feeling pretty rotten and you don't care what you do—Monkey glands. If you haven't any gumption and if you haven't any gumption and you're feeling rather blue—Monkey glands, sweeties and the wine. And your thoughts of entertainment run to parties thru at nine. And you'd rather eat a bachelor meal than help a chicken dine—Monkey glands! CAN'T DO A THING FOR YOU. OLD MAN" Headline: "Woolwine Pleads For Beer and Light Wines." Interest in the midiron is about to be equalled by interest in the grid iron. Heeza Dumbell is so dumb he thinks that the Philadelphia mint is a stick of chewing gum. Lloyd George doesn't like the old Scottish ballad, "The Kemals Are Coming." QUEERED "They say that people who live together grow to look alike." "Then you must absolutely consider my refusal as final." Railroad men call it a walkout. To the eastern business man it looks more like a knockout.

Now, we are about to take possession in one sense, at least and get all we can out of that leisure, that beauty, that semi-tropical quality that makes Nassau so wonderful. Club men of all parts of this country are interested in the newest club development which has its headquarters here in New York. Under the direction of a group of the best known business and club men, arrangements are being completed for the building of the Nassau-Bahamas Club, down on those care-free Islands. The great club house will accommodate 750 guests and will have 450 fresh and salt water baths. The club owns 300 acres of gorgeous country, including more than a quarter of a mile of Beach. Mrs. Oliver Hartman is chairman of the women's committee and Edward Crozer of Philadelphia is president of the Club. Other officers are L. G. Kaufman, and H. R. Mallinson of New York, both vice-presidents. Among the directors are James Potter, O. H. Grunen, Stewart Waller, A. E. Mathers, Henry T. Hust and George B. Hulme. It takes an intrepid policeman to collect "well evidence these days." A fourteen-bottle of elderberry, carried in the pocket of Hatrommia Michael Duffy, exploded the other day while Duffy was on his way to court to appear as complainant against the owner of the store where it was bought. George Middleton, the playwright, and his wife, Fola La Follette, daughter of the U.S. Senator, are back from two years abroad where Mr. Middleton not only bought and sold some plays, but produced some. "The Light of the World," which he wrote in collaboration with Guy Bolton, and which will be produced at the Quecon, in Paris, will be the first play of American authorship to be accepted by a state theatre in France. Ernest Aimless has met his first defeat. He prides himself on attendance at all first night productions. The most important recent one was Ethel Barrymore in "Rose Bernd." Tickets arrived in due time, but even he confessed an added thrill in a Barrymore premiere. The audience on such an occasion is a show in itself, and he was proud in counting himself among those present. He asked the choicest lady of his acquaintance, and went so far as to make certain suggestions to her as to the gown she wore. He is not given to formalities, but on this night everybody is looking eagerly for a reasonable excuse to call off the dogs. If grafting isn't stopped in Cuba, Uncle Sam will do something. It is too bad that only cherry begins at home. There are two kinds of old man: the one the communal calls "old man Hicks," and the one the community calls "Dad." It is sad to Greeks being burned, but it usually happens when one engages to rake chestnut out of the fire. The election of some progressives and some reactionaries may not promise reform, but it at least promises amusement. One-tenth of remorse is located in the conscience and nine-tenths in the sore spots. The most foretorn thin in the known world is a Prebitionist stranded where he can't gather morning cup of coffee. There are many ways to leave fuel; as the National Bureau of Lines suggests, and perhaps the most effective is to go visiting. When a prominent Englisman enbands and grants an interview, he is usually grimorous enough to come through with a dental new day. Song of the love letter written by the old boys indicates that hardening of the arteries is likely to be dreaded than softening of no brain. Correct this sentence: "One right in," cried the woman; "won't ask you to excuse the appearance of the house, for I think it looks darned well."

Striebel WISE AND WITTY When a fellow eats his first crab, he can't tell where to begin on it. A reasonable degree of caution is a part of true bravery. The idea of late suppers probably came from the cockroach family. No one gets more out of showin' off than a good swimmer. A fellow with a job stands little show with the girls when in competition with a fellow with a car. Wars fought with language are more deadly than wars fought with guns. Oratory always loses in competition with a bawling babe. Jealousy comes from two doubts growing where but one grew before.
