DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Never be discouraged because good things get on so slowly here; and never fail to do daily that good which lies next to your hand. Do not be in a hurry, but be diligent.—George Macdonald. California should attack illiteracy with grim resolve to banish it. President Harding's latest message to Congress has Rooseveltian vigor in it. The Allies should punctate the insolence of the Turks in the Lausanne conference. Observe Thanksgiving with sincere thankfulness to God proceeding from the heart. The means of education are within the reach of all, in this country. Illiteracy is without excuse. The reckless speeder not only is violating laws and ordinances, but is breaking the Golden Rule. There is no acceptable substitute for honesty—these are no twilight zone between genuine and spurious honesty. One is either honest or dishonest. There is no indication that Congress, playing Santa Claus, will put ship subsidy legislation in President Harding's stocking. Every time President Harding thinks of the attitude of the opponents of ship subsidy in Congress the temperature under his collar rises. President Harding's ship subsidy CONGRESS IS TAKING UP SUBSIDY PROBLEM President Harding has called Congress to a certain specified task. And the task is as welcome to great numbers of members of Congress as especially difficult tasks or learning are to school boys, who inwardly are yearning for the hills and the swimming pools. But President Harding has maneuvered the situation in such a way as to put opponents of his subsidy plans on the defensive. His strategy may have effect, although it is exceedingly doubtful if subsidy legislation of a kind that the President would approve can be gotten through at this short session. But in a larger, broader sense Congress is testing itself before the country—weighing itself in the balances, as it were. The people are thoughtful—intelligently thoughtful. They follow closely what Congress does and what it fails to do. They realize that something should be done in regard to American shipping—something to relieve the government of its losses and something constructive to foster American shipping. President Harding's formula may not be the formula of the majority of the people—but it gives Congress a groundwork. With the subject squarely before the Nation's legislators the people have a right to expect something definite, positive and statismanly from Congress. But then will they get what they expect? PERIL SEEMS VERY REAL TO M. CLEMENCEAU Many may regard the fears which former Premier Clemeneau entertains as being spectral and unreal. But none can doubt the solemn sincerity of the admirable old fighting statesman of France. He has seen his country twice invaded and jeopardized from the north. His fears PERIL SEEMS VERY REAL TO M. CLEMENCEAU Many may regard the fears which former Premier Clemeneau entertains as being spectral and unreal. But none can doubt the solemn sincerity of the admirable old fighting statesman of France. He has seen his country twice invaded and jeopardized from the north. His fears are very real that the third invasion might come soon, if America and Great Britian do not stand staunchly with France. As the weight which should be given the representations which the illustrous visitor is making, this safely may be left to the intelligence of the people. But the fervid eloquence and intense burning zeal of the venerable statesman in behalf of his country challenge the interest and admiration of the American people. He was given a great ovation in New York as he spoke. He will be greeted just as warmly wherever he appears in this country. THIRTY YEARS AT HARD LABOR The average housewife is usually "sentenced" to thirty years. Statistics give that period as the average number of years a housewife gives attention to household duties. To make that thirty years seem like fifteen years, the THOR Washing Machine was inspired. Among its merits is simplicity of operation, instantaneous wringer release, and single tension screw to evenly distribute the roll pressure. THE THOR NOT ONLY CLEANS CLOTHES, IT CLEANS ITSELF, it is unnecessary to remove the cylinder to clean the machine.

SEE FRANK TAUSCH J.T. LYON VALENCIA Queen of the Orange LYON King of the Re REALTY CO. 811 NORTH LOS ANGELES STREET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING VEXING THE AUTOIST—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Surely the federal government has enough to do already without going into the business of regulating automobiles. Superficially, there is much to recommend the Mills Bill, introduced in Congress at the instigation of New York prosecutors. It is intended to diminish automobile thefts by having every car registered by the government and given a permanent number to serve as identification. There would be a small fee naturally. The fee now proposed is -2 per car. It will readily occur to anyone, however, that if automobiles once came under the jurisdiction of a federal licensing board, and Congress realized how fruitful a source of new income they afforded, the fee would soon be raised. Automobile owners insist that they are paying quite enough taxes now on their cars, and perhaps they are right. At any rate, such an innovation would add another branch to a federal government already top-heavy with departments, boards and bureaus, and it is not even sure that the present purpose of affording better protection for cars would be achieved in this way. Cars are numbered already. If it is desired to make the identification numbers more obvious, manufacturers could be required to stamp them in a more conspicuous place. Congress might issue such an order. As for actual regulation or supervision, surely this is a natural and proper function for the state governments. WOMEN IN HALL OF FAME—New York Evening Post Two steps, separated by eighteen years, have been required to wipe out the invidious distinction between men and women in the Hall of Fame at University Heights. In 1900, when the Hall of Fame was established, it was exclusively a male institution. Women were ignored. There was no provision for their election. In 1904 they were admitted to the outer precincts of the temple by the setting aside of a special corridor, a kind of annex, for those who might be chosen by the electors. This half admission, with it careful segregation, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Lyon and Alice Freeman Palmer from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Horace Mann gave a semicomic aspect to the Hall and was the cause of regular jesting by visitors who suddenly came upon the rather forlorn-looking group of women so obviously excluded from the main tent. The last barrier has now been removed by abandonment of the separate section for women and of all discrimination against them in future elections. Whether the names and statues of women are to be distributed among those of men or to occupy a special section in the "real" Hall of Fame is not stated. At all events, the women are there as they ought to be. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Another reason why Sikl should be barred is that he hits too darned hard. Getting back to normal is largely a matter of putting the "ex" in experiments. A Western bride is named Iona Mann, and we like the charming frankness in her name. Correct this sentence: "The wife PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Another reason why Sikl should be barred is that he hits too darned hard. Getting back to normal is largely a matter of putting the "ex" in experts. A Western bride is named Iona Mann, and we like the charming frankness in her name. Correct this sentence: "The wife confessed her indiscretion to him and he forgave her." This is the age of memoirs and naughty novels. The next logical step is naughty memoirs. Life is usually that way, and the postage-due letter is seldom worth the extra two cents. Modern art has its little faults, but it hasn't yet given us a canvas entitled: "Madonna with a Cigarette." Some peoples seem to be getting along nicely, and others have somebody's moral support. Ford urges people to spend their money freely. Sure what is a mere million to fellows like us? Lunacy may not be a cause for divorce, but at times we suspect that it is a cause for matrimony. So live that it will never be necessary to whine about the way your friend are failing to stand by you. Fable: Once a man left his bar in a repair shop for a week and the gasoline didn't evaporate from his tank. One month from today you must pretend to like the fancy little dudad Daughter is making to hang your ties on. The reason a man doesn't blush easily is because his Adam's apple registers emotion instead. The ancient galleons were very small. Doubtless they were the seven-pint kind one gets at a filling station. Now that the flapper and jazz are disappearing, we can resume the practice of blaming adenoids for everything.

TOWN IN REVIEW TOMORROW The world would be made over new Tomorrow. If folks did what they promised to Tomorrow; Alas, our good intent goes lame, And so we wallow in our shame, And things will be about the same Tomorrow! UNCANNY A pilotless airplane, which runs itself automatically without a human being aboard, makes a flight of more than 90 miles. Our army developed this plane. Its possibilities for warfare, carrying loads of high explosives to enemy camps and cities, make you shudder. How long will it be until when you look overhead, you will see long streams of these pilotless airplanes carrying mail, express and even freight? Life is becoming uncanny. How time does fly. Baseball teams are claiming next year's pennant. EASY LESSONS IN PSYCHIATRY Maybe some psychic can tell us who the tall dark gentleman is in the White House who is strong for the ship subsidy, but not so strong for the bonus. SOMEHOW OR OTHER THE NAME DOESN'T APPEAL TO US The Grandma Swilling hotel is now open for business. We have beds serve meals and also regular board Call and see us. We will be glad to serve you. L. E. Clark, prop—Adv in Danville (Ark.), Democrat. "The best that we can do is none too good," advertises an Oak Park Ill., firm. Report from Berlin says the Germans are making imitations of American cigarettes. That's interesting. We should like ot know what they use as an imitation of the imitation of tobacco in American cigarettes. The reason a man doesn't blush easily is because his Adam's apple registers emotion instead.

When the driver holds out one hand, that means he is going to turn; when he holds out one hand while holding his girl's hand, that means he is going to turn over.
