DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS How insipid and foolish a thing were life, if there were nothing laid upon us to do! What is it, on the other hand, but the rest and glory of life, that something good and great something really worthy to be done, is laid upon us? It is not self-indulgence allowed, but victory achieved, that can make a fit happiness for man—Goethe. The helping of Europe should begin at home. A life for a life should be the rule in metting out punishment to murderous bandits. Anyone hearing an S. O. S. call may be sure that it is Santa Claus, overloaded and seeking help with his heavy pack. That good book of good old Samuel Smiles, "Self Help," should be wholesome and timely reading for Europe just now. Scientists say those South American dinosaurs of the Mesozoic age were 14 feet long. Which calls to mind the fish stories one has heard. Airships and the radio are potential foes of criminals. Both are being used, to good effect, in hunting down and apprehending lawbreakers. It is quite customary, in So. Calif., on meetin a person who says he or she is "from the East," to inquire from what county in Iowa do you come? The mammoth dinosaurs that roamed South America in primal times were 140 feet long—entirely too long to be tolerated by Mother Nature, so she brought them to extinction. It may come to pass, in the evolution of animal life, to preserve old ship of clipper days. There is depth of sentiment among men "who go down to the sea in ships." They love the water—they love the brave vessels that carry them thru storm and calm safely over the bosom of the great deep. This sentiment attaching to the sea service has developed in connection with the "Glory of the Seas," an old square-rigged vessel, once leader in the American merchant navy and holding sailing records that were the envy of other vessels. This old relic was condemned to be scrapped up at Seattle, for the copper and iron in her hull. But from staid old Boston town came telegraphic word to stay the hand of the destroyer. The old ship is to be taken over by these lovers of tradition and is to be towed to Boston and is to be re-rigged there and restored to pristine glory and then is to be moor-ed permanently in Boston Harbor as a lasting monument to the American sailing ship. The era of the old clippers is past. Seldom are sailing ships found now in active commercial service under the active commercial service under the American Flag. Motor vessels have supplanted these gallant rovers of the seas. The modern vessel is swiffer and more practical. But the lazy clippers of the brave old days were the ships of romance—the ships that tried men's souls and stirred the best courage within them.

The mammoth dinosaurs that roamed South America in primal times were 140 feet long—entirely too long to be tolerated by Mother Nature, so she brought them to extinction. It may come to pass, in the evolution of political history in this country, that California may get all the big national conventions, while Ohio continues to mother the greater number of the Presidents. Truthfulness and honesty are stupendous assets in business. A reputation for integrity is worth more to a business institution than all else. The modern buyer of merchandise or coimmodities of any kind is intelligent, shrewd and of keen perception. He or she recognizes business honesty when round, and rewards it with confidence and patronage. There will be more or less political maneuvering in Congress from now until the 1924 Presidential election. This is one of the defects of the American governmental system — there is too much playing politics. This seems to be intescapable, however in a republic so long as human nature is constituted and it is. EDUCATIONAL FILMS IN HIGH FAVOR President Harding gives hearty endorsement to the co-operation between motion picture producers and the National Education Ass'n, to develop pictures for schoolroom use. Mr. Harding has written an enthusiastic letter to Will H. Hays anent this movement. In this letter the President gives assurance that the Federal Bureau of Education will aid this work. Mr. Harding favors the use of pictures, not to supplant textbooks, but to supplement them. The President's words, in this connection, are quoted. "Imagine how thrilling the study of geography would be if it meant actually touring the world, seeing countries, cities and peoples and having the essential facts about them explained by qualified persons. Then imagine how inevitable would be the combination of studies in history and geography under such a plan. It seems to me that the screen could be made an effective medium for illuminating our studies in history and geography. Next to studying geography by seeing the word, its peoples and its institutions, would be studying it with the aid of moving pictures." The pertinence of these observations appeals to all who have given thought to the educational possibilities of films.

AMERICA Worth 20 million dollars, Josiah Cushman dies in Lynn, Mass. Only ago he landed in Boston, poor boy from Russia, and arrived as a peddler of matches. His gigantic success would have been virtually impossible in "the old country." You have noticed that even the loudest knocker of America never shows any pronounced anxiety to leave us. Opportunities for success are open to every one in America. So sadly, are the opportunities for failure. Fair One—You remember you told me that you hunted tigers in West Africa.

"Not more than 20 per cent of the parents are fit to bring up their children," says Judge Lindsey. Cheer up, judge. Think of the more important thing, the bringing up of parents by children.

The most delightful pork roast is a talented cusser's oration to a road hog. We note with considerable satisfaction that No. 1923 is marked "On time". Unfortunately for our times, nobody has yet discovered a way to rest in a hurry. Skirts are worn longer; and the new wool schedule will cause pants to be worn longer, also.

WISE AND WITTY Those who are trifling with others are fooling themselves. If a printer makes a mistake, it is a typographical error; if others, it is carelessness. If jazz takes hold of your feet, step out of your shoes. A real old egg is always handled with care. New York, Dec. 26.—We have long identified Conrad with stories of the sea. Eugene O'Neil cam along with his play "Anna Christie" which depicted its devilish lash. To Thomas Burke we are indebted for the lore of the Limehouse District which Griffith thought worthy for picturing in "Dream Street." But it remained for Edmund Goulding to combine these fascinating interests in his novel, aptly named "Fury." The book is written with a freshness and a certain naivety which does not in the least detract from his thesis of the fury of the sea and its affect on those who make it their life. Mr. Goulding must be a very nice person, for throughout he lapses into a certain kindness and sweetness which does not abate the vividness of his portrayal, but does convince the reader that he is better for knowing the author. The book would live only for the whimsies of one of the characters, "Looney Luke", withcepts of his poetry which salt the whole story. Of course there is an old sea captain, Dog Leyton, by name, who spells the fury of the tale, and his uson, Boy, who sees the tenderness of the calling in spite of his in herited fury. Together they make the lash and the spray, and a curious blend of girl, Min, in impressive fidelity, holds the land interest as it fringes Mr. Goulding's sea. He knows it very well. One suspects that he loves it, but like the small boy, thinks he must acad about it. Paul Claudel, the French poet dramatist whose "Tidings Brough Those who are trifling with others are fooling themselves.

When the worm turns, it doesn't always turn into a butterfly. Many ideas are born yet few will survive. To give the benefit of the doubt, shut your eyes. If all wishes came true, the supply of wish-bones would have to be greatly increased. An irritated mind will cause friction with the soul. Pure gold often creates dirty schemes. Perspective view can be gained thru the eye of a needle. The best that can be said for built-in conveniences is that the neighbors can't borrow them. Your conscience was given you for personal use. Don't try to make it the other fellow's guide. Amercia understands the concrete facts about Europe. What she can't understand is the concrete heads. If it wasn't ill-bred to speak evil of the dead, we could say a few things about national altruism. When the old-fashioned child had it, the parents didn't know it was a complex; so they used a shingle and cured it. It isn't impossible to forgive a son who thinks he knows more than his old dad unless he is right about it. We don't object to-a-powdered face, but we do object to the one powdered in spots to give a two-tone effect. A congressman is quoted as saying that European affairs have about reached the corner. Probably means coroner. The man who grieves because the horse is becoming extinct has never picked up a horse shoe with a new casing. Paul Claudel, the French poet dramatist whose "Tidings Brought to Mary," is being produced by the Theatre Guild, is a peculiar combination. His poetry is that of a solitary spirit, amystic, but he is a statesman, too. He has served his country in consultships all over the world; in 1919 was appointed Minister to Denmark and in 1921 French ambassador to Japan, his present post. Sameul Stiglitz possesses the real Christmas spirit and it rules his whole life. He is fifty years old and only a peddler. But he entered the court the other day on crutchets to withdraw a charge of assault against a driver whose auto truck has struck him and made him cripple. "Why do you want to withdraw the charges?" the court asked him. "Oh, I don't want anyone sent to jail." Stiglitz replied. Both of his hips were broken by the accident.

Striebel COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING GOOD SENSE FROM MARSHALLTOWN Marshalltown (Ia.) Times-Republican Capper's weekly revises the story of the western farmer who went east and stayed at a hotel. He saw other folks eating green corn on the cot and craved a roastin' ear his own self. Ordered it. Got the bill and nearly fell dead to see that he'd been charged 50 cents for a single roastin' ear. This pilgrim grabbed his pencil and figured it up. According to his arithmetic the tavern He ought to have taken the hired man with him. He could have found a place where he could get two fair-sized roastin' ears for a dine just like back in Newbrasky. And last of all, is there a darned word of truth GOOD SENSE FROM Marshalltown (Ia.) Capper's weekly revises the story of the western farmer who went east and stayed at a hotel. He saw other folks eating green corn on the cot and craved a roastin' ear his own self. Ordered it. Got the bill and nearly fell dead to see that he'd been charged 50 cents for a single roastin' ear. This pilgrim grabbed his pencil and figured it up. According to his arithmetic the tavern was getting $72 a bushel for corn on the cob. He had sold his old corn back home for 60 cents at the elevator. He screamed for the Good Samaritan. When he got home he voted for Brookhart. The heart bleeds for this unfortunate man. It would surely be an indurated heart that failed to leak a drop or two over such agony and to beat faster over the inhuman cruelty and sordid hellishness of that non-partisan league of Wall Street which without any doubt was responsible for the menu prices. Maybe it printed the cards. But the investigating mind will desire more information. What, it will ask, was this downtrodden midwest farmer—perhaps it was Senator Capper himself—doing at the Wal-dorf Astoria where a nubbin of green corn costs a half dollar a throw? Figuring up his meal on the basis of this 50-cent nubbin, what was the bill for the square meal such as a mid-western craves and needs to sustain hope and spirit, and even life itself? When he had his steak with fried potatoes, a little boiled cabbage, a portion of navy beans milk hominy, a few slices of bread and butter, a couple of cups of coffee and a hunk of pie, where did he go to mortgage the farm? Who bunco-steered him into a deadfall like that? And couldn't he read the prices on the feedbill? And did he stay all night there, and if so what did his lodging cost him? Was it green corn time in Iowa and the midwest or was this nubbin MARSHALLTOWN Times-Republican from Bermuda or South Africa or where all did this Luculian orgy of his come from? What did he give the waiter? There's a lot of things that a lot of nosey folk want to know. He ought to have taken the hired man with him. He could have found a place where he could get two fair sized roastin' ears for a dine just like back in Newbrasky. And last of all, is there a darned word of truth in the story? How much of that stuff goes down with the intelligent farmers of the Middle West? Enough of it to make Senators. But honest Indian, isn't it the veriest slop? Doesn't everyone know that midwest man who had sold his corn at 60 cents would have thrift and sense enough to lay off the hotels and cafes which charge 50 cents for an ear of corn and two bits for a baked potato and $2 for a small steak, unless he went in to spend a dollar or two out of curiosity, or to show Mrs. Mid West the sights?
