DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harm, which the wise Powers Deny us for our good; so find we profit By losing of our prayers. — Shapespeare. Every big fire, with loss of life and property, should be an object-less lesson impelling all to be careful with flames. Does the world grow wiser with age? One is tempted to doubt it, at times. There is so much of folly indulged in today, despite the advantages of this age over preceding ages. Murders are so frequent here in California that they create little horror with the public. And yet how often is capital punishment meted out in this state for murder Very self-dof indeed. VAST SUMS OFFERED IN U. S. BOND PROPOSAL There is stupendous surplus of money in the United States and there are huge sums in the hands of individuals and corporations who seek sound investment. The call of Secretary of the Treasury Melton for subscriptions to a government bond issue of $500,000,000 at 4½ per cent on a long term, met with phenomenal response. The issue was over-sub-scribed several times. It was demonstrated that there is a vast deal of money in the country only awaiting the opportunity to go into safe and sound investment. It was demonstrated that confidence pervades the country and that the country and that the people are ready to put their surplus money into investments. The national government, by this timely stroke, has discovered the people to themselves. It has KEEP POLITICS FREE OF MUDSLINGING The political campaign in California is opening in earnest. The contest for the governorship and for membership in Congress will be spirted. It is to be hoped that the spiritiedness will be punctuated by the right kind of spirit—that is, the spirit of fairness and freedom from abusive personalities. California has had too much aspersion in politics—too much bitterness. This style of campaign belongs with the past. California should get out of it. So many good things in politics have been originated in this state, it would be to the credit of this commonwealth to set an example to all the states and to the world, of bastention from mudslinging in the conduct of political convasses. There are issues this year and every year which are worthy of discussion on their merits and which can be and should be discussed calmly and temperately, without mixing into the discussion a large measure of vituperation and personal detraction. California should cultivate this better way of conducting political campaigns. It would be welcomed by the thinking voters and would have greater influence with them than the abusive style, which disgusts many with politics altogether and impels them not to vote at all. One of the most annoying forms of selfishness and rudeness is that practiced by some who attend the theater or other assembling places, and persist in talking and laughing while speaking is going on or while there is music. This is done without thought of or care for the displeasure it causes all within hearing of the annoyers. With an estimated wheat crop in excess of $500,000,000 bushels, the United States need not fear any MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY CANDY DAY OCT. 14th Isn't there someone you want to make happy?

God pity the rich; the poor still can enjoy wishing for things they can't afford. Constantine doubtless has moments when he feels about as unnecessary as an adenoid. Housewives who can't make ends meet might try serving head-cheese and ox tail soup. A beauty contest usually selects the girl who will let mother wait on her from now on. Don't be in too big a hurry about your coal. It will be cheaper. Next spring. Some small boys seldom have a good time, and some risk their necks forty times a day. The football team isn't the whole college, however. They also serve who only stand and root. The married man who says he doesn't play second fiddle in his house probably plays the lyre. Our idea of a modest man is the parent of a new-born son who admits that the mother was also present. It would be easier to pacify Kemal except for his conviction that John Bull holds a four-card flush. An international question never is really settled until it is settled at the expense of the weaker side. The reason a bachelor enjoys better health is because he has no one to pity and scare him when he is all-ing. Four beauty doctors are tinkerin' with Mrs. Linnet Spry, but they haven't given th' husband any hope. Th' surest way t' double your money is t' double your house. The big skull mystery of Conover street has passed into history. It had the Brooklyn detective bureau all a gog for several hours. A lieutenant reported a human skull in the possession of some one in the street, and detained them. TOWN IN REVIEW Paris chorus girls strike, claiming the less they wear the more they should receive. In other words, the more figure the higher figure. United we stand around, divided we fall for a lot of things. Why worry about this winter's coal? In the first place we don't need it to heat our homes in this glorious land, and in the second place nobody ever stays home long enough to need heat. TIME KILLED STAYS DEAD "My imitators," says Isadore Duncan, the classic dancer, "dance with their arms and legs. I dance with my soul." In the old days, a man was sent to jail for 20 days for walking along the sidewalk intoxicated. Now that liquor is illegal, a man is usually given a light fine for driving an auto 60 miles an hour while intoxicated. What you see through glasses depends upon what was in the glasses.

News. As a rule, the man who is very enthusiastic about expressing his gratitude is fishing for another favor. If you are searching for a well of Americanism undefiled, look for the man who says "galluses" and "britches." It is hard to understand a sex that is too proud to do housework at $15 a week, but will marry and do it for nothing. America will be satisfied with any settlement of the Turkish question that leaves the straits neutral and America neutral. Some day a publisher will arise who has the courage of his convictions, and he will print a magazine called "Nasty Stories." Correct this sentence: "T'll be glad to give you the raise," said the boss, "for I have felt for some time that you were not getting enough."

The big skull mystery of Conover street has passed into history. It had the Brooklyn detective bureau all a gog for several hours. A lieutenant reported a human skull in the possession of some one in the street, and detectives and police surgeons got on its trail. Sure enough, there it was, the property of a street cleaner, who explained that he got it from the driver of an ash-cart, who got it from the owner of a candy story. The mystery was appalling. Did these people belong to a murder band, who passed the trophies around among themselves? Finally, the trail led back to Mrs. Schultz. She didn't look in the least like the member of a murder band. And when confronted with the skull, she didn't grow pale. "Oh, yes," said she casually. "All the mothers on Conover street used to use that to scare the children with. A sailor brought it from China. I never did believe in frightening children like that, so I threw it away. I'd thrown it away again if I was you." And the mystery dissolved. Middle-aged is as ready to adopt new customs as youth—if the customs are only sensible. Out at Webster avenue and 205th street, the other day, I saw a woman of fifty-five or so, sawing dead limbs from a tree with the greatest agility in the world and she was dressed comfortably and trigly in knickers. The Theater Guild has acquired a new romantic comedy by Franz Molnar, author of "Lillom," which the Guild made so successfully last season. "The Guardsmen" is the title of the new play, which will be produced during the present season with Joseph Shildkraut—who also played "Lillom," in the title role.

LOVERS A Pennsylvania lover arrested by State Trooper Larsen, is fined $50 for the feat of driving his auto 50 miles an hour and kissing his girl every time a telephone pole flashed past. Old-timers who recall moonlight buggy-rides, slow rides and slow kisses, thus see another evidence of changing times—the introduction of "efficiency" in "sparkin'." AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH TO MAKE A MAN A REPUBLICAN, WHAT IS? We ran across Adam Greeding, a former resident of this neighborhood at Middletown last Saturday. Adam lives a little west of Somerville and is doing well. He attended market there that day. He is well informed on state politics and takes a deep interest therein. He talks more than intelligently on the governorship, senatorship and issues generally. He is a stalwart Republican, as was his grandfather, Adam H. Geeding, and his father, Charles Geeding. His Republicanism is intensified by having two uncles in the Civil war—Jacob Geeding and Henry Geeding—Greenbush correspondence, Eaton (O.) Register-Herald. Chiropractic ADJUSTMENTS Leota P.
