DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS No true man can live a half-life, when he has genuinely learned that it is only a half life. The other half, the higher half, must haunt him.—Phillips Brooks. The quality of a man's moral courage shows the quality of the man. The American Merchant Navy should not be left to drift, without support. The honest way is the best way at all times and in all circumstances. The Colorado River, controlled, will be a blessing to the whole Southwest. There is no higher or better rule of human conduct than the Golden Rule. Oh, yes, a very appetizing Thanksgiving dinner can be prepared without turkey. It seems that nearly everybody except the voters is worried over the results of the recent elections. Those who really want the world to become better should co-operate in every way possible, even in little things, to help on the betterment. Many are coming to California this winter from eastern states and Canada. And from these thousands California will gain a good many very desirable permanent residents. The moral support of the United States is sought throughout the world, because this country maintains high ethical standards in its domestic affairs and in its dealings with science is attempting to trail earthquakes to their lair, in the depths of the Pacific, and to drag forth the dread secret of their origin. Vessels of the United States navy are engaged in sounding operations off the west coast and have the co-operations of scientific observers from the Carnegie Institute at Washington. Efforts are being made to measure ocean depths by sound waves. These Carnegie Institute experts have made special study of earthquakes, and the observations being made, under auspices of the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department, may result in valuable discoveries. Scientists connected with the Carnegie Institute are said to hold to the belief that the successive severe earthquakes which have been experienced on the Pacific Coast had their origin in the suspected receding movement of the coast of California. If causes could be determined definitely, the knowledge would be of great importance to science. No practical value would attach to such knowledge, at present, but the time may come, in the evolution and advancement of scientific knowledge, when it may be possible to forecast earthquake shocks, and through timely warnings, to save human lives. AMERICA'S INFLUENCE BRINGS "OPEN DOOR" The United States government, through its representatives in the Lausanne conference, insisted upon the adoption of the "open door" principle in the Near East. It has been joined in this by Great Britain. This assures the maintenance of Those who really want the world to become better should co-operate in every way possible, even in little things, to help on the betterment. Many are coming to California this winter from eastern states and Canada. And from these thousands California will gain a good many very desirable permanent residents. The moral support of the United States is sought throughout the world, because this country maintains high ethical standards in its domestic affairs and in its dealings with other countries. By looking through barred windows, the speeder may see his offense in a more serious and impressive aspect. There is nothing like a few days in prison to make a man reflect upon the error of his ways. If a foreigner, coming to this country to live, is not willing to become Americanized, America should not be willing to receive him. This country should not harbor antagonistic, non-assimilable aliens. Growing disregard for law is a malignant, cancerous growth on the body politic. It endangers the country and its free institutions. Respect and obedience to law lie at the very foundation of national security. AMERICA'S INFLUENCE BRINGS "OPEN DOOR" The United States government, through its representatives in the Lausanne conference, insisted upon the adoption of the "open door" principle in the Near East. It has been joined in this by Great Britain. This assures the maintenance of the wide-flung door in that region. This principle is sound. It ensures the "square deal" for all countries doing business with that region. It should be a bar to special privileges—to the exploiting of the Near East by some one nation or group of nations, for selfish benefit, of the exclusion of other powers. The western powers should be exemplars before the Near East in breadth of spirit and in insistence upon just and considerate treaty out for all in that important region. War frauds should be prosecuted strenuously and relentlessly. There should be no compromising with and tolerency toward any who swindled the government in the stress days of the great conflict.

Cadillac Garage Company 201 No. Main Street Santa Ana EDITORIAL COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING RIGHT TO USE COSMETICS (Berkeley, Calif., Gazette) Miss Perl Pugsley of Corning, Ark., may now decorate her face with a field of white relieved by a dash of red; may wander blithely into Knobel school, and pursue her studies with no danger of being expelled. Jduge W. W. Bandy has so decreed. He says the use of cosmetic does not endanger a girl's health; furthermore, that the case arising from the suspension of Miss Pugsley by Principal Hicks was frivolous. Thus is disdainfully dismissed a question that has worried the older generation ever since the young bloods strove to attract attention by daubing their natural beauty with vivid pigments. Effect is what people labor for most assiduously. They seek so hard to impress friends and enemies that ingenuity is often strained to the breaking point. Until recent years, when high visibility became fatal to the soldier, armies went forth in bright array, hoping the sight of their gorgeous uniforms would strike fear and respect into the hearts of the foe. No savage tribe would think of going to battle unless in war paint; It is the unconscious and uncontrollable desire to improve that inspires the race, however mistaken the attempts may be. Individuals may select their clothing and prepare their toilet primarily for the benefit of others, striving to secure their admiration. Most of the time they are helped out in this by the fact that what pleases the majority stands a high chance of pleasing those one wishes to please. Style is but the expression of the mass. An individual may evolve a distinctive, unique article or combination of articles. But if the mob sees it and likes it, the mob adopts it for its own. That is style. If the mob says that ear lobes should be stretched hold a tin can, teeth filed to a point, skins tattooed in intricate designs, head shaved, feet deformed, nose transfixed with bone tusks, finger nails strained, etc., then it shall be done. And what of it. Isn't it a part of natural development? TOWN IN REVIEW Abnormalcy—the 10-cent cigar. Normalcy—The 5-cent cigar. Subnormalcy—The 5-cent beer.

In this glorious land of opportunity, ever a rich man's son has a chance to amount to something. In sixteen more days a great many of our citizens will finish dodging their income taxes for the year. Well, Mother has already picked out the new living room rug she is going to give Dad for Christmas. Too many neighbors think thrift consists in coming over to borrow a cup of sugar. The reason the fruit merchant gets ahead is because he keeps up a front and lives in the back. Four thousand a year is the minimum on which a family of five can live, if it has an income of $4,000 a year. Too many young fellows are at present devoting themselves to the accumulation of a past to live down. A hick town is a place where the conductor delays the train when he sees a patron running to get aboard. A happy wife is one whose husband thinks it a wife's duty to dress well at all times. Some little boys are always sweet and good and obedient, and others give promise of amounting to something.

Now that men are plucking their eyebrows they may yet hit upon NEW YORK, Nov. 28—At least $400,000 spent by wealthy women for lovely clothes is to be put to splendid use. It is a part of the money that poured into the cash drawer of Margaret Howard, fashionable New York dressmaker for a past generation. And it is to be used for building a luxurious home for poor seamatresses and milliners who have passed the age when they can do hard work. It will be a monument to this woman who was once a dictator of fashion in our city. When she died three years ago, already over eighty years old, her mind was filled with plans for this home and she talked of little else during her last conscious hours, according to her close friends. Fashioning playthings out of tin cans and other waste material during spare hours is the hobby of Miss Dora Foster, one of the new women jewelers of New York City. They tell us that by spfing, we'll be wearing "Merry Widow" hats again. I knew it when I learned that pompadours were on their way back into the mood and would rise above our brows before many months. That means that the day of the return of straight hair is pushed far into the future, if not into Never-Never Land. For if there is anything that is unbecoming, it's the unwaved pompadour. It was the pompadour which brought in the Marcel wave, dont you remember—or maybe you're too young for that. Anyway it was. We couldn't stand those severe heights and took to the wave blessed M. Marcel invented for us like a thirsty duck, as a way out of the trying lines. Thank goodness, the pompadour didn't come back until still more blessed M. Nestle invented the permanent wave to ease its way. It complicated life terribly to keep our marcels in good condition all the time. The world has grown busier since then, too. But a wave twice year—and that may-be done in an evening at home and all by oneself—oh, pompadours, we welcome you! An engagement ring is no temporray possession, valid only "during term of contract," according to the ideas of Miss Marion Stones of New Rochelle. What's the use of being engaged if it doesn't mean at least a diamond ring to store against the future? Irving M. Werthsmann gave Miss Stone a very good looking platinum and diamond ring for which he paid $750. They were to have been We have received a hot reply to "J.

You are afraid to run into him for fear of having a repair bill at pay. "Yes, you had better 'stop and wait until he decides to move on.' It will be cheaper for you."

About all you can say for the formation of a new cabinet is that it gives government another breathing space. Now that men are plucking their eyebrows, they may yet hit upon something in the nature of a permanent shave. An experienced wife is one who can make over last winter's coat and make such a mess of it as to justify a new one. The sophisticated chap who sneers at the "common herd", feels proud of living in a city where there are so many people. Considering the general mess of things, it is probably just as well that Thanksgiving is an exclusively American institution. (Protected by Associated Editors) St. J.

Something went awry with the plans, however, and the marriage never did take place and never is expected to. Now the ex-fiance wants his ring back. It's all right to be sentimental, but $750 is $750, and 'no doubt there'll be another girl some time who'll have to have a ring. But no, indeed, says Miss Stone. For one thing, the ring was a present not a loan, she says, and moreover, she has already sold it to a jeweler for $500. It's all right to be sentimental, but $500 is $500. It's a man's world, though, and the jury that settled the discussion was composed of men—probably engaged and married men—and they ordered that either the ring or the $500 must be returned to the one-time impassioned lover.
