DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS To take up life as it is, and do the best we can to make it great and good—our best to make it fit to give back one day to the God who gave it—that is to live—Goethe. If there were only more statesmanly working and less political playing in Congress! To the overburdened taxpayer, one reduced budget is worth more than innumerable promises to cut down budgets. America cannot and will not help Europe unless Europe strives honestly, earnestly and strenuously to help itself. Better times coming for the farmer, Augusta Secretary Wallace. He's the man better conversant with the farmer's status, perhaps, than any other man. So his prophecy should have weight. They had exquisite art in ancient Egypt, fifteen hundred years before the Christian era. Why should the spirit of the moderns be proud? They did things magnificently in the morning days of the human race. If the plight of Wallace Reid, film star, should be instrumental in bringing about reforms, his august will not have been in vain. The terrible menace of narcotics should be curbed, as well as the illicit traffic in liquor. Money taken from the federal THREE SCORE YEARS IN THE SCHOOLROOM The city of Portland, Oregon, recently dedicated an heroic statue to Colonel Roosevelt—which was a fine and gracious thing to do. But Portland should not stop with the honoring of the great American, Colonel Roosevelt. The Rose City has just lost, by death, one of its daughters who is worthy of a public monument. Miss Christina McConnell, of that city, has just died, at the age of 82. For fifty-nine years she was a teacher in the public schools. For forty-two years she taught in the Portland schools. There is service that should be recognized and should be honored for all time. Work of the teacher is beyond estimate as to value and importance. Its influence is cumulative. It is like the ripples on the pond which go rippling to the uttermost bounds of the pond. The boys and girls which Miss McConnell taught, in her earlier years, have grown to manhood and womanhood, and have gone forth into the world—some of them to distant climes, carrying this teacher's influence with them and unconsciously, but none the less surely; imparting it to others. The person who devotes her life to such great and good work as did this teacher, deserves a public memorial. BUILDING SUSTAINED IN ACTIVITY Activity in building continues, from ocean to ocean, from the lakes to the gulf. This country never has witnessed such a phenomenon. Records are being made everywhere in volume of construction. And yet it is not an abnormal, overbuilding craze. The new construction is rapidly absorbed, so to speak. If the plight of Wallace Reid, film star, should be instrumental in bringing about reforms, his august will not have been in vain. The terrible menace of narcotics should be eradicated, as well as the illicit traffic in liquor. Money taken from the federal government fraudulently in World War contracts should be sued for and recovered, if possible, to the last dollar. Besides which all who knowingly and deliberately defrauded the government in war contracts should be prosecuted criminally. Moving pictures are a valuable adjunct to schoolroom work. But the film should not supersede the textbook. Rather, it should supplement it. The path to learning must have its foundation upon the printed page, not upon the motion picture screen. California's popularity with globetrotters is well-sustained. Men and women who have traveled to the far corners of the earth are wont to come to this state and linger among its scenic beauties and grand-users. Many of them come again and again, and not a few come to stay permanently. Many who have circled the globe find more entrainment here in California than in any other part of the world. BUILDING SUSTAINED IN ACTIVITY Activity in building continues, from ocean to ocean, from the lakes to the gulf. This country never has witnessed such a phenomenon. Records are being made everywhere in volume of construction. And yet it is not an abnormal, overbuilding craze. The new construction is rapidly absorbed, so to speak. Which is to say, new dwellings soon are occupied, new business blocks soon are filled. The United States is growing rapidly in population. For several years—during the World War period—the volume of building in this country was sub-normal. Hence, when the Armistice came, it found the United States woefully underbuilt. There has been the gigantic task, therefore, of catching up with the normal increase in population and increased demand for housing. A good act may be spolled by an ungracious spirit in doing it. There is no logic of fairness, equity or public safety which denotes that one law may go unenforced, while another law is enforced rigidly. All law should be enforced without fear or favor. Unless there be palpable impartiality and rigorousness in the enforcement of all laws, the whole legal structure is weakened and the effect is a severe blow at justice and equity and the public weal.

PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The only effective speed limit is the one built into the car. Seventeen men were convicted of murder last week. Oh yes, all poor men. Europe carries a very small stock of Cabinets, but think of the turnover. Mencken says whisky is a depressant. At any rate, it depresses the accelerator. Still, the gifts you don't want may now be sent as return gifts to those you forgot. If congress is to convene on January 1, what substitute shall we use for "Happy New Year?" Wives are people who keep wondering if the davenport wouldn't look better against the other wall. Women are better stoics than men. What man, in weather like this, could grin and bare it? The age of discretion is that at which a man begins to suspect that not all the nuts are in one party. Wonder what Leonard Wood thinks when he hears Pershing preaching preparedness and getting away with it? Oddly enough, the age that does most to prolong life is doing the most to make it not worth prolonging. It is a fine thing to give a woman a seat in the House. She seldom has time to sit down in her own house. The reason man in private life NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Artist Christmas trees have become a matter of course, and artist snow has long been in popular view on the stage. But snowflakes make by the hand of man or imprison machinery for real snow-coat purposes are still a novelty. Is what one New York hostess poses for a week end party at Long Island home in the near future. Mrs. Frank Henderson, knot for her sprightly and expensive tertaining, has asked a crowd o' to Villa Marina, her country hie with the promise of sufficient snow for coasting down her hills. If sky doesn't do what it should in way of sending the snow, Mrs. derson promises that there shall enough manufactured flakes to the sled-runners along, at least. Mayor Hylan now has a right sign after his name the impression suffix of H. P. L. E. H. A.S.P.F.N.I. That means Heary President of the League Equal Rights for All and Sp Privileges for None, Inc.

Correct this sentence: "I hope", said the little boy, "that Santa Claus won't bring me anything that I can make a noise with." Well, eating really is rather vulgar, and perhaps that's what they mean when they speak of Europe's superior culture. TODAY'S scientific news comes from Dr. Harlow Shapley, head astronomer at Harvard observatory. He says it's doubtful if climatic conditions on Mars are able to support human life. But Venus, says Shapley, is a lot like the earth, in climate, so "life on Venus is highly probable." Will a radio reach us from Venus before we get in touch with people on Mars, if any? That Arkansas man who got a dog license instead of a marriage license probably felt that he was going to lead a dog's life anyway. HENRY FORD is too busy with problems here on earth to be much interested in theories about life on other planets. He will meditate Steinmetz's suggestion of storing the energy of sunlight and using it where and when needed. Probably Ford will wonder if the flivver some time will run on sunlight insstead of gasoline. Not to be outdone, Ford contributes this to today's news and food for thought: "A young man with no money who wants to get married, should get married anyway." Men should marry early in life, regardless of their financial resources. I didn't have any money when I got married." The senior Rockefeller wasn't much better off when he and his bride stood up before the preacher. Of the three thoughts furnished by Steinmetz, Shapley and Ford, Ford's is the most important. Men succeed in proportion as they have something to work for. A wife and children spur man on, develop his earning powers. Marriage to fine right person, is any man's best investment. An executive really hasn't anything to do except wonder where business is coming from and where the pay roll is coming from. Every respectable newspaper has in mind a list of obituaries it would like to print for the good of the community.

Oddly enough, the age that does most to prolong life is doing the most to make it not worth prolonging. It is a fine thing to give a woman a seat in the House. She seldom has time to sit down in her own house. The reason men in private life seldom fight is because they don't use parliamentary language on one another. To the car owner, auto-suggestion means: "Every day and in every way you're bringing me nearer the poor-house." Radical: One who devotes his time to knickicking his superiors and then complains that they are prejudiced against him. A feminist says the ideal husband doesn't smoke or go out at night. She's talking about a fire, not a husband. Correct this sentence: "If you will marry me," he promised, "I will never look at another woman as long as I live." In this progressive age we not only have women on the juries, but an increasing number of women before the juries. The book may safely be left on the library table unless the publisher says the author has handled his subject courageously. Another fault of our civilization is that it is too easy to forget praise of a good man and too easy to remember scandal. (Protected by Associated Editors).
