DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR COLORADO COMPACT IS OF READERS The most of the difficulties of trying to live the Christian life arise from attempting to half live it. —Henry Drummond. A thankful soul is a delight in the eyes of God. There is no happiness or contentment in idleness. Much criticism is useless because devoid of all suggestions of constructiveness. There is always enough clean, unobjectionable real news to fill any newspaper. Every able-bodied person in this country should be compelled to do something useful. To insure peace for the world, nations must disarm themselves of hatreds and suspicions. Maintaining the "open door" in the Near East may close the door on a whole brood of troubles. There is nothing that pays such handsome dividends in satisfaction as the doing of a good, kindly deed. Santa Claus is developing stoop in his shoulders from anticipating the heavy load he is to carry this Yule-lide. Scientists are searching for the cause of earthquakes. There is no need to make any special inquiry as to their effects. Scientists are in quest of the cause of earthquakes. But what the world would be most interested in would be a cure for them. VAST BENEFIT Incomparably better is it that the seven states of the Colorado-River Basin should agree among themselves as to the method of control of the Colorado river and the proportional distribution of its waters, than that there should be resort to acrimonious litigation. As pointed out by Herbert C. Hoover, and by Arthur R. Davis, director of the United States Reclamation Service, a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Wyoming in the Colorado cas, was rendered eleven years after the suit was instituted, and dealt only with a single controversy in a small-stream basin. This illustrates what might have been expected, as to exasperating delays, had the distribution of waters been taken into litigation among the several states. The controlling of the Colorado and beneficial allocation of its waters will come fifteen or twenty years sooner because of this friendly agreement among the states. This is conceded by Messrs. Hoover, Davis and others cognizant of the facts. It is so very much better, too, to settle these claims amicably, instead of having protracted and bitter litigation. DEADLY RECEPTION FOR OUTLAWS Los Angeles policemen, subjected to the hazards of being the target for desperate outlaws, are retaliating in kind. As a result of a dead desperado is turned into the morgue occasionally. Taking human life is not a thing to be advocated lightly. But police officers, in discharge of duty, have every right to defend themselves against murderous attacks. In cities where the police are trained to shoot with deadly accuracy, bloody desperados treat the peace authorities with Santa Claus is developing stoop in his shoulders from anticipating the heavy load he is to carry this Yule-lide. Scientists are searching for the cause of earthquakes. There is no need to make any special inquiry as to their effects. Scientists are in quest of the cause of earthquakes. But what the world would be most interested in would be a cure for them. A new theory on the force of gravitation has been announced. But perhaps it will fall to the ground by force of gravity, just as Sir Isaac Newton's apple did. With due respect for former Premier Clemenceau, it is questionable whether he is doing the cause of France any good by what he is saying in this country. Planting of trees should be encouraged. They ornament. They promote comfort. They foster health. They are a godsend to mankind. Beautify your premises with trees. Should Herbert C. Hoover be instrumental in bringing about control of the Colorado River by a great dam, it would be one of the crowning achievements of his eventful and useful life. Everyone should have some measure of romance in life. The romantic savor never should be lost in living. Divert life of all its romance and it is as barren of enthusiasm and zest as the Sahara is of vegetation. The most convincing advertising California gets is from the laudatory words of its good friends, many of whom live in other states but have been here and have seen the attractions and advantages of this great commonwealth. Los Angeles policemen, subjected to the hazards of being the target for desperate outlaws, are retaliating in kind. As a result of a dead desperado is turned into the morgue occasionally. Taking human life is not a thing to be advocated lightly. But police officers, in discharge of duty, have every right to defend themselves against murderous attacks. In cities where the police are trained to shoot with deadly accuracy, bloody desperados treat the peace authorities with wholesome respect. If there were a few shootings of outlaws in Los Angeles occasionally, the prevalence of murderous crimes there might abate. In this connection, a word of praise and appreciation of policemen is not amiss. It is deplorable that too often in moving pictures and elsewhere, policemen are caricatured and brought into ridicule. This is undeserved. Police officers, as a rule, are mentally bright and alert, and are brave and conscientious. The exceptions only prove the rule. These guardians of the peace and safety of the community should have the praise and co-operation of the public. The man who, at any given time, occupies the White House, is the president of all the people. He is the highest official of this country—the official representative of each and every loyal American man, woman and child. The position he holds is exalted. It is solemn, sublimine functioning that fails to him. The position should be respected to the uttermost by all. While presidents are not infallible and while their official acts are not immune to criticism yet the office of the president should be treated with deference and respectful consideration. The people would lower themselves should they lower their ideal of and respect for the presidency.

An Idaho man wants a divorce be "THE TIGER" SCOLDING AMERICA America is polite and tolerant. It will not hold bitterly against former Premier Clemenceau his scolding arraignment of the course of the United States toward Europe since the World War. But "The Tiger" will not help his cause in this country by nagging America. Should he go too far in this, thinking Americans will discount his entire message and treat it as the emanations of a childish old man. However, everyone seems disposed to permit the illustrious visitor to have a great deal of latitude of speech without resentment on the part of Americans. Allowance is made, and should be made, for the intense fervency of M. Clemenceau's feeling. He is a man of blunt speech, two. Americans do not dislike a man who is frank with them. But as to the course this Nation has pursued, good taste requires that foreigners here as guests of the United States should not transgress the laws of hospitality and propriety in criticising. America is responsible for its attitude, and accepts full responsibility. Its course may not please all countries—may not be exactly to the liking of some other countries. Nevertheless, this country reserves the right to shape its own course as regards its relation to the problems of Europe. Meanwhile the doughty war premier of France is assured of a tremendously hearty welcome and interested hearing wherever he may go, in this country. PARAGRAPHS (3y Robert Quillen) Well, it's nice of Turkey not to demand an indemnity from the Allies. Even the hard-boiled fall for soft soap. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Maybe it was the thought of the liquor consumed by Hattie, the elephant which died after all, which has harmed the hearts of the borough presidents against providing sustenance to elephants in general. Anyway, when a request for $900 appropriation to feed another Central Park elephant came up before them, they flatly refused to make it. "It's too bad to have an elephone starve", they explained, "but the men on the payroll will starve if we spend so much money on elephants. Take your choice." At the present writing sentiment seems in favor of the men. Having their horoscope cast is one of the latest fads of New York society women. In fact, some of the devotees of the science of astrology go a trifle farther than having their own horoscope read. Some of them will not purchase jewelry until an astrologer tells them whether with the facts that can be secured, the jewel will be lucky or unlucky. The latest, however, in the way of horoscopes came to the Travel Department of the American Express Company. A society woman and several of her friends who contemplated booking for the luxury cruise of the Mauretania to the Mediterranean, leaving New York early in February, requested the hour and day of the launching of the Mauretania. This information, the Travel Department was informed, would be submitted to an astrologer, and if the planets said the vessel was lucky and that the cruise would be a good one, the pros- TOWN IN REVIEW Picture shows a white baby which talks Chinese.

She just egged him on. One thing to be thankful for, says Tom Sims, is that bathtubs empty themselves. Every man is a hero in his own home until the company leaves, says Tim Sims. A mad hunter writes in to tell us he couldn't bit a barn from the inside with all the doors shut. Airplanes are going so high and fast now it takes two men to see one.

It takes a good swimmer to walk around the world.

PARAGRAPHS ("By Robert Quillen") Well, it's nice of Turkey not to demand an indemnity from the Allies. Even the hard-boiled fall for soft scap. The chief fault of foreign policles seems to be that they conflict. You may think you are abused, but suppose you were a neutral zone. Still, a holy war probably couldn't be much worse than a righteous one. They say bootleg hootch has a depressing effect on the heart. At any rate it has that effect on the accelerator. If she wants a man more than she wants a pretty wedding, she will never see 30 again. Remorse may mean that the evil in man has died, or it may mean only that the kick has died. The inability of nations to trust one another may show an evil heart, but it shows sound judgment. It doesn't pay to be wasteful. If the nations had hanged the kalser, they wouldn't have anything to laugh about. There must be something in athletics. We never heard of a star football man failing to pass his exams. Another good way to prevent gray hair is to have the brake linings examined at intervals. It is just as well that justice is blind; she might not like some of the things done in her name if she could see them. Every place has its disadvantages. In the city one smells Turkish cigarettes, and in the country one smells that kind of pipes. Now that the flapper is disappearing, we must look for something else to blame for everything. Jewel will be lucky or unlucky. The latest, however, in the way of horoscopes came to the Travel Department of the American Express Company.

This information, the Travel Department was informed, would be submitted to an astrologer, and if the planets said the vessel was lucky and that the cruise would be a good one, the prospective patrons would then take up the question of accommodations. Being interested, the Travel Department officials decided to have horoscopes cast on the Mauretania and the cruise by the leading astrologist of the country, Miss Evangeline Adams, a descendant of President John Quincy Adams, with studios in Carnegie Hall, was chosen. The horoscope cast by her fog both the luxury cruise and the vessel were propitious. The Travel Department added these horoscopes as part of its information to prospective clients. Shell flowers from Paris are one of the novelties for the coming Christmas season. Shells exquisitely tinted are made up into apple blossoms, roses, chrysanthemums, dahlias, and peach and cherry tree branches. They really are remarkably beautiful decorations. The latest recruit to the realms of society women in business is Mrs. William Borden Harriman. Mrs. Harriman, who has been considerably more than a mere social figure in Gotham, having been for many years as much of a leader in civic affairs as in society, has just formed a business connection with a prominent real estate firm in the city of Washington. Upon the heels of the announcements of more Shakespearean productions than we have known in many seasons, comes the crowning one that Ethel Barrymore is to be presented by Arthur Hopkins in "Romeo and Juliet." That will be a performance even rival her brother John's "Hamlet," which has taken the city by storm. "Romeo and Juliet" will follow "Rose Bernd", in which Miss Barrymore is how playing, at the Longacre Theatre. We have not as yet been told who will be cast as "Romeo". of a woman who went to the telephone to announce the birth of twins, but didn't get her connection until after they had graduated from business college.

A bachelor is a man who was never near a girl while under the influence of moonlight and moonshine.
