DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR MERE NEWNESS NOT SIGN OF MERIT Lord, it is good abiding here— We cry, the Heavenly Presence near; The vision vanishes—our eyes Are lifted into vacant skies! —Frederick L. Hosmer, Troubles seem to come to Europe by gravity flow. Wonderful advancement is being made in aeronautics. The domain of the air is becoming man's domain, as well as the empire of the birds. Europe cannot rehabilitate itself economically so long as it keeps itself overarmed, with militaristic spirit rife. Militarism and economic thriving no more mix than do oil and water. Much vigor may be put into a political campaign without making at abusive. Personal aspersion is deplorable in politics. It detracts from the dignity of a canvass and oftentimes befogs the real issues. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bryan have been married four decades and a happy marriage it is. It is the beautifully happy and consummately successful marriages like that of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan which justify faith in the connubial relation. Shouting and flag-waving are not the only concomitants of patriotic fervor. The patriot displays his patriotism through his works in his daily life. Patriotic words, going hand in hand with patriotic works denote the genuine patriot. Protect the song birds. They add immensely to the enjoyment of life. They send notes of cheer and inspiration on their mellifluous course. There is too much straining after novelty—too much worshipping at the shrine of newness. Because a thing is new does not necessarily signify that it is superior to the old. Many good books have been written since the Bible was indicted, but none of them compare with the Good Book either for beauty and majesty of literary style, or for profundity of spirituality. Many structures have been rearled since the Parthenon, but where is there architecture more perfect? What modern masonry excels that of the ancient Egyptians who reared the Pyramids? What modern paintings are superior to the work of the old masters. There are many things, wrought by the brain and hand of man, that are done no better today than they were by men thousands of years ago. This is not flattering to the pride of this age, but it is true, nevertheless. Pacific is the news that comes from the Near East. For the time being, at least, the menace of war with the Turks seems to be ended. In the forthcoming peace conference affecting the Near East, the United States will exert its influence in furtherance of peace. It is to be hoped that some permanent settlement may be reached which would avert warfare in future. There are many—very many—happy, successful marriages. There are many married couples who have braved the storms of life together for a half century or more, and never has the flame of love between them been dimmed. Think of this when you read of a scandal and a broken home, here and there. But do not be misled into believing that all marriages are failures or that failures are the rule.

The patriot displays his patriotism through his works in his daily life. Patriotic words, going hand in hand with patriotic works denote the genuine patriot. Protect the song birds. They add immensely to the enjoyment of life. They send notes of cheer and inspiration on their mellifluous course through orchard and garden, lawn and woodland. Birds are invaluable assets to California. Cultivation of the beautiful in Nature, for the adornment of homes and of communities, should receive constant attention here in California. Beautification of premises, to streets and of parks, has a very refining influence and is to be commended. Peace is a blessed word—a word that should be treasured throughout Christendom. The horrors and agonies and inestimable loss and ruin of the World War should constrain the great nations of the earth to maintain peace among themselves and to thrive for peace among all nations and peoples. There are many—very many—happy, successful marriages.

WISE AND WITTY Happiness is cheap, but only the virtuous know it. A small town can size you up quicker than a big city. Nothing is more restful to tired nerves than a good laugh. Corn on the cob and gravy are the cornerstones of the cleaners' profession. The chief reason why half the people are sick is because they eat twice as much as is good for them. At times one is little essential firm convictions bornness. It takes lot of writing a Prohibition tition with the cross. If the dove crane branch, it can exert ideal idea by brittle size deficit.

Admission Free PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen At that it is better to be hard-boiled than soft-soaped. It is perhaps just as well for the world that the Sick man of Europe is alling. About all some men have life of their early training is a hymn or two to whistle. The difference between a coupe and a toupee is that the coupe affords a permanent top. "Spoiled child." A saying commonly used as evidence that parents have little sense. Calf: Infant progeny of the cow. Also a man who thinks has has a monopoly of trouble. You seldom see many silk stockings and many diapers hung to dry on the same line. Scorned, helpless and ignored, poor old Austria probably knows how a speed limit feels. Faith is belief in things unseen. For instance, men believe in the rights of a minority. No other suffering compares with that of the man who knows it all when shown that he doesn't. Justice usually is blind enough to overlook the derelictions of a man who is a financial power. At any rate you can talk about a girl's dimples now without arousing curiosity as to their location. It isn't difficult for a child to understand Government affairs after it learns to pronounce "deficit." The best way to study the American language is to drive past a traffic cop when the sign says stop. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Chinatown, that one time place of mystery and irregularity, has reformed to a degree that sightseers really find grievous. For several years, it has been increasingly difficult for the guides to get much thrill for tourists out of the trips there; but the quarter, itself, co-operated with them to the extent of letting itself appear much wickeder than it was. If a hardworking Chinese smoking an after dinner pipe of tobacco in his own home could be made out to be a knife-man passing into beds of poesy by the opium route, it was quite all right with the ramless Chinese. It brought visitors to the quarter and the visitors spent money. So let it go! But the moral wave has risen higher. Now the denizens of Chinatown are not content with being respectable, they insist upon appearing so. And they have issued a protest against allowing the sight-seeing buses to invade their streets at all. It's going to take a great deal of enjoyment away from the tourists who love to revel vicariously in our city's wickedness. THEATRES "My Wild Irish Rose," starring Pat O'Malley, Pauline Stark, Henry Herbert, Edward Cecil, Maude Emory and Little Dick Daniels, is the feature at the United today. Lewis Sargeant is also seen in "Once to Every Boy." "Kindred Of The Dust," starring Marriam Cooper and Ralph Graves, is seen again today at the California. There is also a special surprise vaudeville act. If you stroll up Fifth-ave these days, or view it from a bus top, you would wonder, as I do, if the folks in those great marble places are ever home. This is the time of year when most people are through with their summer's junketing, but still those doors and windows facing Central Park are boarded up, everyone of them. You'd say that their inhabitants never are at home, for you'll find it true, whatever the season, that a good share of the marble fronts are shut as tight as possible. Where are the Fifth-ave people?

The best way to study the American language is to drive past a traffic cop when the sign says stop. At times one suspects that there is little essential difference between firm convictions and darned stubbornness. It takes lot of nerve to try to write a Prohibition joke in competition with the one Volstead put across. If the dove can't find an olive branch, it can express the same general idea by bringing in a medium-size deficit.

If you broke one of them what would happen?" Willie—"There would be nine left."—Exchange. J. E. Rodden, Insurance, Phone 71 If you stroll up Fifth-ave these days, or view it from a bus top, you would wonder, as I do, if the folks in those great marble places are ever home. This is the time of year when most people are through with their summer's junketing, but still those doors and windows facing Central Park are boarded up, everyone of them. You'd say that their inhabitants never are at home, for you'll find it true, whatever the season, that a goodly share of the marble fronts are shut as tight as possible. Where are the Fifth-ave people? The whirling life depicted in Edith Wharton's "Glimpses of the Moon" must be the answer to the question. Her exposition of the habits of the "idle rich" is pretty frank, but it does explain how the Fifth-ave set, in the frantic searchings for pleasure are shown as finding it pretty much everywhere except at their Social Register addresses. It comes with rather a shock, though to learn in "Glimpses" just what are the things the smart set gads about the world doing. P. Hobson the Auditorium ening, 12 Free ORLAND B.

H. Striebel COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING WORLD NARROWING FOR BOYS New York Evening Post Commander Wild, head of the Shackleton expedition, writes to the London Times that "Marr, the Boy Scout, has developed into an all-round useful man," and gives a sketch of the party's adventures that will make whole nations of youngsters green with envy. He speaks of sending Marr with three men ashore on Elephant Island, near the edge of the Antarctic continent, "to get some more blubber and also some more meat." This meant shooting sea elephants, Weddell seals, and wild fowl. He tells of running among penguin-run errands in summer, to gnash his teeth in despair and wonder why heaven permits such inequalities of fortune. If asked to state which person, in modern times, has reached the summit of human felicity, youngsters the world over would answer, "Marr, the Boy Scout!" Two generations ago boys had a chance to be midshipmen or cabin boys, or at least pilot cubs in the Mississippi; but now any one who runs way to sea, faces the truant officer.

Commander Wild, head of the Shackleton expedition, writes to the London Times that "Marr, the Boy Scout, has developed into an all-round useful man," and gives a sketch of the party's adventures that will make whole nations of young-sters green with envy. He speaks of sending Marr with three men ashore on Elephant Island, near the edge of the Antarctic continent, "to get some more blubber and also some more meat." This meant shooting sea elephants, Weddell seals, and wild fowl. He tells of running among penguin-covered icebergs and through pack ice; of a volcano in eruption near Clerk's Rocks; of a storm so great that one man was flung through the side of the bridge house; of rigging, spars, and decks sheeted with ice; of a run of 200 miles before the wind in one day, with engines shut off; of waters swarming with killer whales; and of playing football on the floes. It is enough to cause an ordinary red-blooded boy, who must study algebra and history in winter and hoe corn or fortune. If asked to state which person, in modern times, has reached the summit of human felicity, youngsters the world over would answer, "Marr, the Boy Scout!" Two generations ago boys had a chance to be midshipmen or cabin boys, or at least pilot cubs on the Mississippi; but now any one who runs way to sea, faces the truant officer. Once, as all boys' books authentically relate, there was a Wild West, and youths in thousands entered it annually with their father's prairie schooner or as companies to hunters or as full-fledged Indian fighters. What is needed in this modern environment, which so sternly restrains boys, is a concerted movement for self-expression. Every exploring expedition ought to have its compulsory quota of Boy Scouts. There ought to be several on Mount Everest right now. Amundsen should have taken a number along when he sailed for the Arctic. More use ought to have been made of them in the war.
