DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The lightest cloud before the sun will prevent it from focusing its rays to a burning point on the convex glass. And the small, thin, fleeting, scarcely visible acts of self-will that sometimes pass across our skies, will prevent our feeling the warmth of Christ's love upon our scarred hearts.—Alexander Maclaren. A high sense of honor should prevail among nations, as among individuals. The Congressional Record is bright and interesting—as it burns in the grate. Europe cannot successfully make peace by making war, or by preparing to make war. Honesty consists in doing the square thing even though it be to one's own material hurt. The greatness of Theodore Roosevelt is not for a few fleeting years only, but for all time. The reform of Francisco Villa seems to be complete. Mexico has not been disturbed by bloody frays led by him for a long time. Before America throws out an economic life-line to Europe, they must be ready, "over there," to seize upon it and utilize it properly. There is strong conviction throughout the country that the government of Mexico should be recognized by the United States government.

The primary purpose of a college AUTOMBILE CONQUERS SAHARA DESERT No more the slow-moving camel of limited carrying capacity, is to thread the mazes of the Sahara and to bring out the treasures of the rich inland. The irrepressible tractor automobile has gone into the heart of the Sahara and has achieved a great triumph there. To France goes the credit for achieving this first victory over the great desert waste. From Algeria, on the Mediterranean coast, to Timbuco, on the Niger River, a fleet of tractors and automobiles journeyed successfully. The way has been blazed for an established system of auto service, which is of immense commercial importance. It foreshadows enormous development in that position of territory of northern Africa which is under French control. The automobile is an instrumentality of immense importance in commercial development today. By its use the conquest of Sahara and other wilderness places may be hastened. And in the wake of automobile and tractor will come the airship. The subduing of the waste spots is proceeding much more swiftly than under the slow processes of past generations. RAILROADS MAKE PEACE WITH UNIONS There will be no serious railroad strikes this year, from present indications. News dispatches bring intelligence that several of the more important railway systems have withdrawn their demand for a hearing before the United States Railroad Labor Board on the question of reduction of wages and changes in working conditions involving the railroad brotherhoods and have completed or are negotiating settlements with the brotherhoods. Should this promise of peace on the railways be supplemented with agreements between mine operators and coal miners, this year's indus- Fourth of July patriotism is no better than the everyday kind—in some instances it is not so good as the ordinary day's showing of love of country.

Several hundred fuel men are reported starving to death on account of weather conditions, and an ice cream shortage is adding to the misery of the population. It's even too warm for summer furs. The So. Cal. weather bureau is reported to have arranged for the distribution hereafter of only four weather forecasts a year. This will be a great saving in time. The forecasts will be: Summer, summer, spring and summer. Atty. Gen. Coco is investigating the Ku Klux Klan's rumored connection with the Louisiana murders.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Close to Broadway and 207th street is the spot where Hendrik Hudson landed on his voyage of discovery in the Half Moon, back in 1609. A giant tulip tree marks the place, which until the last few years was considered way out in the country so far as Manhattanites were concerned, but is now within a stone's throw of huge apartment houses. There was a time when this country expected any titled foreigner taking up his abode in our midst to be either a cast-off remittance man or a seeker for fortune via matrimony. That is past. Some of our most earnest young business men would prove to have reputable titles stuck away out of sight if one should look into their affairs. But royal princes in our ranks of trade are still among the novelties. There is Prince Miguel de Braganza, however, grandson of King Miguel of Portugal and the eldest son of the pretender to the throne, who is hard at work on lower Broadway selling life insurance. The Prince, whose marriage to Anita Stewart in 1909 was a brilliant affair, reports punctually at work every morning and keeps as regulation hours as any other insurance salesman in the company for which he works. To his associates he is known as "Prince" and his reports on his work are signed simply, "M. de Braganza." Some hard-working jester cared enough about having a little joke on Patrolman David Winthrop to go to considerable expense about it. Winthrop was patrolling his West Twenty-eighth street beat the other night when he came upon a most elaborate basket tied with ribbons. When he discovered that a pink silk spread covered it and saw a soft-appealing form beneath it, he was sure he had come upon another tragedy of the Where ignorance is bliss, don't ask what's in the hash. A hick town is one in which you can't go any place where you shouldn't be. Getting old is just a slow process of shedding hair, teeth and illusions. Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, we get good biscuit only at home. That California man who shot a cow while in quest of deer meat found it dear meat. Only five more months until we can begin to wonder what's the matter with Babe Ruth. Home is a place where several small children keep the house in a mess. A high-brow evening isn't so bad if you can leave early and go some place to have a good time. About the only difference is that hen-pecked husband takes more careful aim at the ash tray. It's fair enough. The laundry fills your shirts with pins to take the place of the buttons it keeps. That New York man who placed $10,000 on deposit for his new-born son probably calls it a fresh heir fund. We can't help wondering how Adam felt when he discovered that Eve didn't know a darned thing about cooking. Just when we begin to think the human race is becoming more intelligent, another song of that kind makes a hit. If somebody in the neighborhood is learning to play one, you wonder how anybody discovered that the cornet is a musical instrument. Asbestos isn't the only fire-proof thing. There's the bookkeeper who knows how the boss faked his income tax return. It frequently happens that the surgeon who makes an incision to find something wrong doesn't find anything but a profit. A woman thinks hospitality consists in serving something to eat; a man thinks it consists in making the room uncomfortably hot. Thrift is the art of denying yourself things you desire while young in order that you may buy things that you don't want when you get old. CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA "Ah, your son has fine manners!

Day by day in every way life is getting tamer and tamer. Every day we hear fresh runners that Clara Phillips is hiding in Tijuana. If she is, we'll bet a nickel-plated doughnut to a hand-crocheted wheel-barrow that she has discarded her hammer for a corkscrew. There is a contest here in the office. Three of the boys are betting which gets the best service, the one who calls the waitress "Sister," the one who calls her "girllie," or the one who calls her "bright eyes." Many a bachelor, carrying one of those new fangled dolls to his favorite niece, has been ruined when the blamed thing squawked "maming!"

Winthrop was patrolling his West Twenty-eighth street beat the other night when he came upon a most elaborate basket tied with ribbons. When he discovered that a pink silk spread covered it and saw a soft-applealing form beneath it, he was sure he had come upon another tragedy of the streets—an abandoned baby. He lifted the silk coverlet and gazed tenderly into the basket. There lying on its side on a pink silk sheet with its head comfortably resting on a pink silk pillow was—a little pig! "Why Not?" the Jesse Lynch Williams play, which the Equity Players have chosen for their third production, is described as a "comedy of conventions." By "conventions" is meant marriage. The play is something of a sequel to the author's "Why Marry" of a few seasons ago. It has to do with the matrimonial mistakes of two couples who achieve a completely satisfactory arrangement by changing partners via the divorce courts. The only marring element was the dislike of each father and each mother to being separated from the children. The curtain descends upon the two co-arranged couples accepting the plan of the A woman thinks hospitality consists in serving something to eat; a man thinks it consists in making the room uncomfortably hot.
