DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR DR. CAMPBELL IS TO HEAD STATE UNIVERSITY Here is soft polishing, there the finest touch, Ere the full likeness stands in solid stone; Genius has toiled and planned, few dream how much, To mould the features that we've loved or known. —George Bancroft Griffith. Radio, uncontrolled, is making a madhouse of the air. War frauds should be prosecuted without fear or favor. Wireless is not troubled with crossed wave-lengths. The United States should keep as far from militarism as one Pole is from the other. Captain Amundsen, up in the polar ice, will be cavied in the hot belt next summer. Congress should do nothing to add unnecessarily to Uncle Sam's financial burdens. There are crime waves and crime waves but the old break-water of law stand unshaken. Breach of trust is a heinous offense, particularly where it affects the savings of the poor. The little courtesies shown to strangers from afar are excellent boosters for California. The self-made man is all right so long as he does not become too much in love with his maker. The California Legislature soon is to meet—"for better or for worse"—let it be hoped the former. Ever know of anyone who became rich, happy, contented and clear of great interest has been manifest throughout the state in the question as to who would succeed Dr. David P. Barrows as president of the University of California. The question is answered in announcement that Dr. W. W. Campbell, director of Lick Observatory, has been chosen to this highly important educational post. Dr. Campbell was born on an Ohio farm and had given his attention to educational work since his early years. He is known throughout the scientific world for his notable achievements in astronomy as head of the great Lick Observatory, on Mount Hamilton. Scientific expeditions from this world-famous observatory have been sent under Dr. Campbell's direction, to Australia, India, Spain, and elsewhere, to observe solar eclipses and to gather astronomical information. The University of California has developed marvelously, until it ranks among the foremost institutions of learning in the United States. To attain the presidency of this great educational center is a high honor indeed. CONTROL OF RADIO NEED IS URGED The air is made a veritable bedlam by the uncontrolled use of radio, Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of commerce, is telling the Merchant Marine committee of the House. Mr. Hoover is urging legislation which would place control of wireless communication under the department of commerce. The complexity of the radio problem is patent when it is remembered that there are 21,000 transmitting stations in the United States, and more than 500 broadening stations. The air is burdened now with a conglomeration of transmission using the same wave lengths, and creating confusion for all who used radio. It is obvious that this service must be The little courtesies shown to strangers from afar are excellent boosters for California. The self-made man is all right so long as he does not become too much in love with his maker. The California Legislature soon is to meet—"for better or for worse"—let it be hoped the former. Ever know of anyone who became rich, happy, contented and clear of conscience, from gambling? Do not think of the Golden Rule as being bound up in the Bible, but as being bound up in your own heart. "Meet Them With Flowers"—and California has abundance of beautiful blooms with which to meet them. The law should be supreme at all times and in all circumstances. When it is not supreme, liberty is endangered. Destroy law, and all guarantees of liberty and security would be destroyed. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING DRAFT DODGING EXPENSIVE New Orleans Times-Picayune. Unless higher courts fail to sustain the decision of Justice Bailey of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, which would seem unlikely, Grover C. Bergdoll will have his choice of coming back to America to take his medicine or forfeiting property valued at the tidy sum of 2750,000. A suit was brought in Bergdoll's name by his mother, Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll, seeking to recover holdings which were seized by the alien property custodian. In answering this petition the government held that by virtue of his conviction by court martial as a deserter Bergdoll has been deprived of his American citizenship and his right to enter jail for recovery of the property. It was further contended that being a fugitive from justice, the complainant had not come into court with clean hands. Justice Bailey substantially said that he will uphold the government in these two points if it can be proven that Bergdoll has been convicted of army desertion and that he is a fugitive from justice. Three-quarters of a million dollars is a lot to give up and it is natural to presume that Bergdoll would hate to lose such a fortune. At the same time, there is now an excellent chance that he will either have to surrender his American estate or serve out his sentence in order to put himself on a position to recover it. Of course, it is not the man's wealth that the government wants. It wants Grover C. Bergdoll and it is determined either to get him or compel him to pay a price in money that will surely hurt. Colonel Miller, the alien property custodian, said this is "a timely move toward bringing the most notorious criminals to account." from which we understand the government has still further persuasive devices up its sleeve. We trust the screws will prove sufficient as Grover C. Bergdoll is one man who is escaping a punishment fully deserved.

Los Angeles man who is 105 years old asked for a bottle of "real old time whisky" for a birthday present. After the first 100 years, the last five years are hardest in matters of this kind. A senator proposes a government beer-tasting commission, the members to be paid $9000 a year. He must take this nation for an inerecary bunch. Think of the dollar-a-year men he could get for a job like that. We've heard a lot of mean things said about near beer, but we've never heard it blamed for a funeral. A Berlin Ponzi, whose financial transactions reached 180,000,000 marks, has been arrested. Probably for potty lareney. Headline: "Noted Divorce Judges Differ on Matrimony." It's differing over matrimony that causes divorces. PARAGRAPHS ("by Robert Quillen") If one of these new frocks looks baggy and hangs unevenly, it's a perfect fit. Some families live within their means and some have learned to say "Charge it, please." In these bootlegging days, it is very easy to confuse Easy Street and Speak-easy Street. "The elect" means the superior and flawless. It applies to the elect, understand, not the elected. Matrimym settles down to normal when the wife sighs in resignation. NEW YORK, Jan. 8: By the time Corinne Poth is truly grown up young woman, she ought to have enough silverware to furnish an estate. Now, at the age of thirteen, she possesses 700 trophies which she has captured in various horse shows since she was six years old. It used to seem hard enough to have to tip the waiters. Now we've grown accustomed to the fact that the taxi driver expects his piece of silver just as much as a matter of course as a pullman porter. But the latest tipping expectancy is adding a straw too much. That's the soda clerk. At nearly every soda fountain in the theater district and at a good many outside of that region, we are beginning to learn that it's pretty poor service you get unless you treat the boy behind the counter as a waiter rather than a clerk. Here is a story which ought to counter-act every worn out mother-in-law joke that ever was printed. It's just about as nice a Christmas tale as I have heard. And it's extremely true. Among my friends are a young couple who have been married something less than a year and are keeping house in an apartment here in Manhattan. The bride's mother lives over in New Jersey. So this is what the son-in-law put in an envolope and hung on the Christmas tree for her; an order on a leading hair dresser for a lanolil permanent wave, a commutation ticket, and a key to their apartment. The mother told me about it when I was in to see them the other day—oh yes, she's using the key already—and I never saw a happier woman. "Do you know, I never had a permanent wave in all my life before," she said, "and I do... If one of these new frocks looks baggy and hangs unevenly, it's a perfect fit. Some families live within their means and some have learned to say "Charge it, please." In these bootlegging days, it is very easy to confuse Easy Street and Speak-easy Street. "The elect" means the superior and flawless. This applies to the elect, understand, not the elected. Matrimony settles down to normal when the wife sighs in resignation and decides to make the best of things. If you don't enjoy it, and other people do, and that makes you mad, you are a reformer in the making. It is easy to pick out the feminine celebrities on incoming liners. They are sitting with their legs crossed to have their pictures taken. Civilization is just a slow process of inventing a sophistry to justify frisking the weaker peoples. You never know how much contempt mere words can express until the barber says, "So you shave yourself, eh?" A hick town is a place where ten women call to express their sympathy and twenty call to find out the details. An official observer by any other name could get the same result by tossing a monkey wrench into the machinery. Habit makes all things endurable, and after a little while the world will think "hysterical" and "normal" synonymous. If you wish to see the ego in the act of plumming itself, ask a self-made man for advice. It's fair enough. The trapped animal skins its teeth; the trapper skins the animal, and the furrier skins the customer.

Striebel GALLERY History which ought to every worn out mother that ever was printed. It is nice a Christmas heard. And it's exerciement my friends are a who have been married than a year and are in an apartment here. The bride's mother New Jersey. So this is law put in an envolve on the Christmas tree under on a leading hair annull permanent wave, ticket, and a key to it. The mother told me I was in to see them oh, yes, she's using joy—and I never saw a "Do you know, I permanent wave in all she said," and I do ideals of the fair maid of Verona different from those held and portrayed by Ethel Barrymore, I am just as glad not to have this exquisite interpretation marred with quandaries as to what kind of girl William Shakespeare wanted her to seem. It isn't a gay, irresponsible Juliet, even in the early scenes, that Miss Barrymore gives to one. It is a lovely creature of youthful dignity, and youthful tragedy, always conscious of the tragedy handing over her and her lover but counting their hour of love justification for whatever the future may be. There is no purpose in becoming enthusiastic over Ethel Barrymore. Her talent and her charm are too universally accepted for that. But it is difficult not to do it after seeing this new and remarkable production of "Romeo and Juliet." Basil Women do talk more than men; it isn't just a superstition; according to Dr. A. A. Brill, psychologist of New York University. Moreover he explains why they do it. Since the beginning of time, says Dr. Brill, man have had more work to do than women. That need to work has tightened their tongues until it is more difficult for them to chatter than for women whose leisure has been greater. Moreover, he says, a considerable part of every woman's life has always been spent in teaching babies to talk and it is therefore natural for her to expend energy in that way.
