DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR TURKS GAIN MUCH FROM CONFERENCE Till all the lowly vale grows bright, Transfigured in remembered light, And in untiring souls we bear The freshness of the upper air. —Frederick L. Hosmer. Keep California advertised, truthfully but graphically, before the world. But the greatest baseball general of them all is John J. McGraw, of the New York Giants. Flying across the continent soon will become as common as taking an automobile spin across the country. Baseball enthusiasm is a safety-worthy for tired, overworked men and women. One becomes completely absorbed in the game, and weariness and cure are forgotten. It is refreshing relaxation; Sustained skill and psychology, blended with fighting pluck, achieve wonders in baseball. The team that keeps cheerful and fighting, is never beaten until the third man is out in the last half of the ninth innings. The American voters is manifesting a marked degree of independence this year. Politics cannot whip them into line for this or that party. They are choosing for themselves. This is disquieting to the politicians, but good for the country. Athletics is important in high schools, colleges and universities, but not all-important. Scholarship also has its importance. Never should the impression be created that scholastic achievement is of secondary import in institutions of learning. Almost anything to placate the Turkish Nationalists, seems to have been the policy of the Allied powers in the conference at Mudania. According to the terms of the military protocol, Turkey is to come back into Europe and the old situation of maracres and frequent crises seems to be in prospect again. The Turkish Nationalists agree that the Allies shall remain in Constantinople pending definite peace negotiations; but Nationalists are to install civil authorities there, which means dual administration of the city. The Turks are to evacuate the neutral zone and will retire from Chanak. The wily Turk did not press the question of the ultimate fate of Control of Turkish territory, including Constantinople, must be put into the hands of the Turkish state. Thrace is awarded to the Turks at once, despite the apparent intention of the Greeks to fight for its retention. If the Allies are not sowing dragon's teeth by entering into such an arrangement, history belies itself. For with the Turk in control at Constantinople, scheming and intriguing against the peace of Europe would be in full flower again, and massacres of Christian Armenians and Syrians would take on the horrors usual under teh old Turkish regime. The arrangement will be keenly disappointing to the Christian world. TO SPAN CONTINENT BY AIR IN 28 HOURS There will be aerial mail service between New York and San Francisco on a schedule of 28 hours, within a year, is the surprising revelation made public by Paul Henderson, Second Assistant Postmaster General.

Politics cannot whip them into line for this or that party. They are choosing for themselves. This is disquieting to the politicians, but good for the country. Athletics is important in high schools, colleges and universities, but not all-important. Scholarship also has its importance. Never should the impression be created that scholastic achievement is of secondary import in institutions of learning. The Christian minorities in the Near East should be saved against fanatic onslaughts of Moslem Turks, at all hazards. The powers of Europe should bury their jealousies and make common cause in protecting those helpless Christian peoples against the cruel atrocities of the Ottoman hordes. The Pacific Ocean, strangely enough, is unconquered by aviation. The most inviting region for a great merial achievement is neglected wholly. Occasionally one reads of a vogue plan to attempt to negotiate the greatest of oceans by air. But it begins and ends in talk. The Pacific has not been crossed by airship and there is no known definite movement to attempt the flight. TO SPAN CONTINENT BY AIR IN 28 HOURS There will be aerial mail service between New York and San Francisco on a schedule of 28 hours, within a year, is the surprising revelation made public by Paul Henderson, Second Assistant Postmaster General. Air mail service to the interior of Alaska also is to be provided. The proposed fast aid mail across the continent will involve night flying. A system of lighting is being devised which, it is believed, will make the flight from coast to coast safe during the night hours. Should the schedule start at 28 hours, it would not be long before it would be cut to 24 hours, in all probability. With this faster service probably also would come extension, of service laterally, to cover all parts of California—that is, all principal cities—and other states. Air mail service no longer is an experiment. It is well established and its permanency is assured. Wonderful development, in speed and carrying capacity, confidently are to be expected.

EDITORIAL Wright Act Not a Dry Law The San Francisco "Bulletin" is frankly for a wine and beer amendment, but its editor has a clear understanding of its relation to the state campaign. In a few terse sentences it makes an end to the proposition that prohibition is or can be a state issue. It says: "Prohibition is in the hands of Congress, and while the States may pass legislation going further than the Volstead Act, they can do nothing to modify it. The only way the States can register effective opposition to the Volstead Act as sentativeness to the Volstead Act is by voting for wet or moist senators and representatives." This punctures the stock argument that the Wright Act, which makes the law of Congress the law of the State, is a dry law just like the initiative measures defeated in 1914 and 1916. The country is already dry, the "Bulletin" says, and it cannot be made wet unless Congress makes it wet. That the claim that the Wright Act is a dry law is ridiculous is shown by the action to the States. When the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect, the States that already had dry laws retained them to enforce the mandment. They were the following: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, Wyoming, Montana, South Carolina, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina, Washington, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Kansas, Utah. The passage of the Eighteenth Amendment required the States in which a majority of the population were for license also to define their position. Those who were strongly opposed to prohibition and believed that the amendment should be modified or repealed, had to determine how to go about it. They decided that the issue could not be raised through resistance to the passage of enforcement Acts complying with the second section of the Eighteenth Amendment. This appeared to them tuo be opposition, not to prohibition, but to enforcement of the law. Acts similar to the Wright Act were adopted by them as follows: Illinois in 1919, New York in 1921, Connecticut in 1921, Missouri in 1920, Wisconsin in 1921, Massachusetts in 1922, Rhode Island in 1922, Minnesota in 1919, Vermont in 1921, Louisiana in 1921, Pennsylvania in 1921, Delaware in 1919, New Jersey in 1922. The remaining States are Maryland and California. Maryland has an anti-bootlegging law, though legs effective than that of other States. The wets of California, therefore, stand alone in maintaining that the passage of an anti-bootlegging Act raises the wet and dry issue. In all other States where there is organized opposition to prohibition, the passage of enforcement Acts is regarded as raising only the bootleg issue.

EXPLAIN THIS The philosopher who said that nothing is eternal except change would be interested in this: England, like Uncle Sam, keeps standards or models of weights and measures, supposedly absolutely accurate. Now it discovers that the standard British yard stored in a sealed box for 30 years, has grown a tenthousandth of an inch. Vibrations caused the change, say scientists. But they are unable to explain why the standard British pound, made of platinum, has gained nearly three grains in weight. A WORD FROM JOSH WISE: You c'n bully a few men and you c'n bull all uv 'em.

LIL GEE GEE SAYS: The baby that used to get a kick out of pulling daddy's beard, now yanks his manma's bobbed hair. Geraldine Farrar has 1000 pairs of stockings. Gee, we'd hate to be her Those among us who always believe we could write a great book or achieve a masterpiece in some other art if only "our conditions and surroundings were right and we had the time" would do well to take note of some of New York City's artists and their lives. A new genius is believed to have been discovered in the painter of "Venetian Scene", an oil on exhibition at the Italian-American Art Ass'n. He is F. Zirilli—and he is a day laborer in a New York shipyard; while Albert Edl, winner of the second award in the department of sculpture at the Beaux Art Institute of Design, is still working genially and industriously in the kitchen of a "business men's lunch" down on Chambers-st. He isn't even the chef! he's just a scullion. The roundygo of theatricals for me in a season is immense, and I try to keep to the cold critical viewpoint. I simply cannot resist certain personalities of the theatre, however, try as I will. Ethel-Barrymore is one of them—yea, the leading. In her performance of "Rose Bernd" by Hauptmann, translated by the erudite Ludwig Lewisohn, she surpasses my prejudiced expectations. I am no different from the school girl, who sits down and writes her about it. I want to—I even think I will. How it is possible for this superb example of womanhood to divest herself of the raiment and beauty which is hers by right, and appear the draub uncouth worker of the field, and at the same time retain the essential exquisiteness of herself and sex is phenomenal. Playing a part of admittedly 25 to 30 years, with the suggestion of life and its beauties brot to her in one of the very dismal scenes, before your eyes, she smiles herself into 17, her lovely body throbbing the expectancy of youth. Her eyes, her voice, her dimples—I shall never feel out of boarding school, while she lives. Maybe the long skirts have something to do with it. Maybe it's the big, plumed hats. But something has happened to bring the old horse hansem back to popularity. Drives through Central Park in these old-time vehicles are more and more frequent this fall, and the interesting thing is that it is the young people who make up most of the patrons.

Observers in Los Angeles say a dispatch, think they know the answer to the question, "What's the matter with the movies?" That something is seriously the matter with them, no intelligent person doubts any more. The thinking and respectable people of Los Angeles, who ought to know something about the subject from first-hand observation, are said to size the thing up about like this: "The trouble with the motion picture industry is the presence in it of a relatively small number of people who have been unbalanced by sudden prosperity, and the fact that character has not been demanded by either producers or publicis as an element to screen success." The revelations that have scandalized the whole country in the last few months indicate, on one side, a not unnatural succumbing of human weakness to unusual temptation. People with little culture and little mind or character training of any sort have found themselves suddenly in possession of undreamed-of wealth and fame. With small resources in themselves, and the means of gratifying every material whim, it is little wonder that many of them have sought diversion in the crude, foolish and vicious ways that were the only ways they know. Foolish adultration, to has made them feel above the law. It is an odd spectacle of ignorant, sally super-men and super-women doing as they please until brought up inevitably by law or fate. And perhaps the ultimate responsibility falls upon the very people who are now so busy criticising Hollywood. They are good people everywhere who have viewed the movies uncritically, who have contributed their need of hero-worship to people that were not heroes at all, and who have not demanded "character as an element to success." War not only threatens Europe, but an American poet wants women to change husbands every three years.
