DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Still are we saying, "Teach us how to pray!" Oh, teach us how to love, and then our prayer. Through other lives will find its upward way, As plants together seek and find sweet light and air— —Anonymous. Every proven war fraud should draw a jail sentence. Every murder which goes unpunished breeds other murders. Mrs. Obenchain escaped jail one way, Clara Phillips another. The path should be made a bit thorrier for murderers in California. Say a good word and do a good turn for the public schools whenever possible. It seems to be almost as easy to break out of jail as to break into it, in Los Angeles. Every fraudulent war contract should be exposed and the guilty should be punished. Either the law doesn't hold them, or the jail fails to hold them, so some murderers fare well her in California. Be merciful to postal clerks and carriers by getting your Christmas packages into the mails as early as possible. Clara Phillips is something of artisan. She hammered her way into jail and sawed her way out—or connived at the sawing. The good wishes of America are with Ireland, and the hope is general, on this side of the Atlantic that Erin HUGE ACHIEVEMENT OF RECLAMATION The National Reclamation Service is twenty years old. Its achievements, in the two decades of its existence, are remarkable indeed. It has reclaimed lands which produce to the value of the total agricultural production of the state of West Virginia and equal to the farm products of Vermont and Connecticut combined. The value of crops produced on government reclamation projects, in 1921, was nearly $50,000,000, besides about $45,000,000 worth produced on private projects which were furnished water from works created by the Reclamation Service. The federal government, during this twenty years, has invested in reclamation works approximately $135,000,000. The vast area of 1,675,000 acres, formerly arid, has been furnished with a complete water supply, and about 1,100,000 acres additional, in private projects, has received a supplemental supply. More than 30,000 families have been given homes on acreage in reclaimed areas. This is constructive achievement, imperial in extent. Areas larger than some of the ancient empires of Europe are being brought under intensive cultivation and are yielding enormously of useful crops. These reclaimed areas are peopled by thriving, happy, contented families. VETERANS MUSTERING OUT RAPILY The saddest thing in connection with veterans of the Civil War now is their passing, in great numbers annulally, into eternity. The pension rolls at Washington bear pathetic testimony to this thinning of the ranks of the vetrans in the Blue. The number of veteran penEducation week with a lot of pet the fairy stories Chas. M.

Clara Phillips is something of artisan. She hammered her way into jail and sawed her way out—or connived at the sawing. The good wishes of America are with Ireland, and the hope is general, on this side of the Atlantic, that Erin may enter upon a brighter and better era. If disagreeing jurors do not let murderers and murderesses out of jail at Los Angeles, they saw their way out. Life is getting to be pretty easy for murderers. Hint to the matron of the Los Angeles County jail Do not read extremely interesting books while on duty, then perhaps jailbreaking operations can be heard. Reports to the effect that former President Wilson is regaining his health will be received with intense interest and gratification by his countrymen. It is hoped that his recovery may be complete. The postoffice department is almost self-supporting. It is estimated that by the next fiscal year, the postal service will show a slight surplus. It is a marvelous system and, generally speaking its efficiency is extraordinary. VETERANS MUSTERING OUT RAPILY The saddest thing in connection with veterans of the Civil War now is their passing, in great numbers annulally, into eternity. The pension rolls at Washington bear pathetic testimony to this thinning of the ranks of the vetrans in the Blue. The number of veteran pensioners who died during the last fiscal year was 25,082, as compared with 24,715 who passed the year previous Veterans' widows also are passing rapidly; 21,259 of them were called into eternity during the last fiscal year. The number of deaths of veterans, in the natural order of things, will increase proportionately from year to year. Decimation of their ranks is but a matter of a few years. The youngest soldier of the '60's is an old man now. No matter how bravely the veterans may bear up under their years, the ravages of time are being felt by the stoutest of them. While the remnant of the Grand Army of the '60's survives, the veterans of that historic struggle should be shown the esteem and the tender consideration which is theirs by right. Their last years should be cheered by indubitable evidences of the gratitude of the government and the people of the United States. Clara Phillips HAS NOT BEEN IN OUR STORE. HAVE YOU?

He got his ideas from the flats of London and Paris; and erected what has always been known as "The Spanish Flats," at Seventh avenue and Fifty-ninth street. That was only forty years ago, and yet it took several years to make them popular, because there were until then only two types of dwellings in New York, houses and tenements. As these flats came under the technical term of "tenements," a prejudice existed against living in them, handsome and convenient as they were for those days. Max Pasch is only twelve years old, but he has chosen his future profession, and what's more unusual, he is giving indications of being fitted for it. Max decided some time ago to be a detective. He already has a good start toward his ambition. It all happened because Max is in love, as well as sleuth-like. He was standing across from the delicatessen store of his love's father, the other day waiting for her to appear. She is Anna Kossoff, also aged 12, and she was waiting on customers in her father's absence. Ten minutes later Max was marching proudly back with a policeman and a gun-man who had held up the store and run away with $1000. Max didn't see the hold-up, but his explanation of the chase and capture was worthy of any detective. "He walked into the store slow and ran out fast," he exhaled. "So I chased him." The most discouraging feature of being a person with ideas is in the fact that you are dubbed a "reformer" both by those who agree with you and by those who do not. To be a woman and have ideas is still worse. And yet it is refreshing to meet a woman who wants to face things as they are, rather than as they should be, and go to the bat confident of success if the facts will only be faced and solved as conditions permit. Mrs. Haviland H. Lund, special investigator from the Department of the Interior, and long identified with a number of public issues, is frequently in our midst, and is always arresting in his matter of fact observations on public affairs.

Pests Deposed Sultan of Turkey is plotting to regain his throne, a Constantinople newspaper warns. That's to be expected, naturally. But it starts you thinking, what a lot of trouble can be stirred up by one man. The world now has about 1700 million inhabitants. And they'd get along together quite amiably if it were not for a few thousand professional trouble-makers like the sultan. One of these days the people will round them up and put them under lock and key. The regular quarterly series of free public lectures on "Psychology, and How to Keep Young" has just been announced by one of the regular semi-annual prophets of eternal life, we notice.

Paragraphs (3y Robert Quillen) It isn't that the pulpit knows less than it did in the old days. The pew knows more. The first time Eve gave him a call down, Adam probably referred to it as a rib roast. Among other things that comes to him who waits is the job of waiting on the go-getter. "This government will do nothing for the wets," says a congressman. Doesn't he mean vets? The alien is welcome if he will remember that the native born have certain seniority rights. About all some girls know about a needle is that one has to change it after each record. The common herd, of course, is composed of those people who make a little less money than you make. The nice thing about being cultured is that you can act common without being considered a low-brow. Anybody who has a book of etiquette telling what to do when you spill the beans might lend it to France. There are two kinds of people: those who have tender feelings, and those who are not quite so selfish. What we wish to know is how many hours the weather man has to labor to work out that observation, "Continued cold." Correct this sentence: "I am so glad you smoke a pipe," said the author. We are coming on in our attention to the arts. New York is taking official notice of our new importance as a center for musical education by the appointment of a mayor's committee for the consideration of licensing all teachers of music. The tragedies of the thousands of ambitious young men and girls who come here to study for a career and fall into incompetent or dishonest hands is recognized as being an official administration problem. Dr. William C. Carl has been appointed chairman and Dr. Frank Damrosch, director of the Institute of Musical Art, Vice Chairman of the new committee. Dr. Damrosch and several of the committee members are opposed to the licensing plan as impracticable but are convinced that some plan must be worked out for the protection of students. Wise and Witty Any man who claims that he is absolutely right convicts himself thru his egotistical convictions. It is easier to grasp things than to hold on to them. The morning hour has golden power yet we often wake up to find our gold gone. The whisper of godliness will drown the loudness of gold. Where love ends mud-slinging begins. A thief is discovered through his criminal negligence to cover up the tracks that convey his finger prints. Every day is today—tomorrow is a conjecture. A bad bet just now would be: Clara Phillips to show. The last argument of mediocrity consists in knocking a competitor. The poorest argument in favor of cold baths is that they will make you live longer to endure more and more of them.

Correct this sentence: "I am so glad you smoke a pipe," said the bride, "it gives you such a nice man taste." Isn't there some elderly gentleman we can send over to scold France in the interest of better understanding? There are two things that will make you stop worrying about world problems: sound philosophy and the tooth ache. There is nothing a woman enjoys quite so much as telling the world how patiently she bears her burdens in silence. At any rate, a bachelor never comes in and finds a woman occupying the chair where he likes to hang his hat and coat. You don't feel so poor after going into a great department store and observing how many things there are you don't want.

STRANGLED A young man who had heard that radium was going to cure the world of all its ills, entered a chemist's shop and asked: "How much is radium an ounce?"
