WINGS TO OUR ECONOMY WAVE STRIKES LEGISLATURE Opening days of the session of the California Legislature give promise of a genuine economical sitting. Speaker Merriam, of the assembly notes with satisfaction that there have been introduced only a limited number of appropriation bills, and these are for comparatively small sums. No large appropriations have been asked for, thus far. No road bills of importance have been introduced; there are no demands for large buildings; no salary increases have been requested; on the contrary, the greater number of bills are directed toward decreasing cost of state and county government. This is very welcome intelligence to taxpayers. It denotes sincere purpose at Sacramento to respect the pledges of Governor Richardson and his supporters to do all possible to reduce the cost of government, and yet maintain unimpaired the efficiency and usefulness of the departments. This is a desideratum toward which taxpayers have looked longingly for years. LESS LEGISLATION IS ADVOCATED "Let us hope that the statute books of 1923 will be the smallest in a score of years." These words from Governor Richardson should be engraved and placed on the desk of each and every member of the California Legislature. They are the acme of wisdom. This state does not need a great mass of legislation. Comparatively few measures are needed. If just the legislation that is needed were enacted, and if the legislators considered it with extreme care, the best interests of the state would be subserved thereby. It is quality, rather than volume, of legislation that is needed. It would be an inspiring, encouraging thing if the Legislature should set an example this winter, of efficiency, with no political jockeying, and with no semblance of trickery or misleavousness in its legislative acts. The people have the right to expect and to demand this. Meet them with flowers." Meet them with the thousand and one little courtesies and thoughtful attentions which make strangers feel at ease. Meet them in the spirit of the Golden Rule—as you would desire to be met, if you were going into a strange locality. To keep youthful in mind, read the newspapers and current literature, and keep abreast the times. To keep young in spirit, mingle with the young and enter into their feelings—their moods, emotions, ambitions, aspirations and zests. The Fountain of Perpetual Youth is found in sympathetic co-mingling with youth. Government in America is not ordained and maintained by forces and influences apart from the people, but is of and by the people. If government is not, at all times, "for the people" as it should be, it is the people's own fault. They can and should make the government be and function as they would have it be and function. Read at least a little good, solid literature every day. Spend a few minutes, every day, in thinking broadly, letting the mind slip away from the days' activities and dwell upon things that are above and beyond the ephemeral. This may be and should be done without interfering with the day's work. A systematic course of solid reading and substantial thinking makes one more efficient in one's daily work, because it whets one's mind to keener edge. Great Britain's unequivocal assurance that it will pay the whole of its debt to the United States should be stabilizing to the money markets of the world. The attitude of the mother country denotes not only the capability to pay, but the honest purpose to liquidate every dollar of principal and interest, in due time. Do not pity a young person who has to make his or her way in the world. Congratulate such a young person. For that way character is developed and talent is brought forth. It is a blessing to any red-blooded boy or girl to be thrown upon his or her own resources in battling for a place in the world. If the United States is to answer Europe's S. O. S. call for economic aid, Europe must give its latitude and longitude and the course it is sailing, and also must use its own efforts to the utmost to assist in its own rescue. For a supine, wilful, quarrelsome Europe there will be no help from this side of the Atlantic.

A leader must know what he stands for, or else know what the people will fall for. This spirit stuff may have its good points, but the medium who isn't hard-bolled is rare. The moderns think they are roughing it when they let down the glass doors of the limousine. Anybody can diagnose Europe's trouble. The difficulty lies in getting her to take her medicine. Some colors harmonize well, but you never see red theories and the long green in combination. Correct this sentence. "No, John," said the wife; "I positively refuse to get a new hat until you throw away that old overcoat and get another." What does it mean when a miracle play of the mediæval simplicity and the mystery of "The Tidings Brought to Mary" achieves success in New York? Here is a story by a French poet played with one set and as far from one's idea of a Cretery as one could imagine, which dramatic "success" of the Twentieth is holding its audiences—and they are not a one-type audience—as tensely as are the other sort of mystery plays, equipped with modern criminals and super-modern detectives, which are playing farther up the street. To be sure, it is a splendid performance. Jeanne de Casall as the lovely Violaine, who is given the power of a Saint, is entirely adequate to the demands of the symbolism in the role, and that is saying much. Even the very modern Helen Westley adapts her talent to the part of a Mediæval mother, and the support is excellent throughout, as one expects from the Guild. Constable Plum, aided by dry officers and a one-ton truck, seized eighteen mines plies durin' th' holidays. We'll bet th' Ku Klux 'll sure take advantage o' th' January linen sales. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EXPORERS BRING NEW CROPS (San Bernardino Sun) Avocado, chayote, dasheen, pelibaye, and telfaeria are words that mean nothing to most of the people of the United States. They are, however, worth knowing about and may become familiar ones in the marketplace. They are new fruits and vegetables that have been introduced into the United States by a group of agricultural explorers employed by the Government to search the world. Emotional insanity may disturb the mental processes, but it doesn't seem to affect the aim. About all St. Peter need know about you is the number of times you have had to hire a lawyer. A woman is always happy when she is crooning over a baby or fixing somebody a dose of medicine. Imported stuff: A trade expression, meaning that the bootleger who uses it is a first-class liar. The explanation is that public indignation endures but for a day, while lobbying goes on forever. Keeping house is just a slow process of accumulating stuff you don't need and don't particularly like. Kghusorletfbuwny. No, that isn't a President of Poland. Just trying out the new ribbon on the typewriter. "The chorines' guardian angel" may sound like a flippant title but it is wrapped in all the veneration in the world as well as love, when it is used along Broadway, and it always means Father Martin E. Fahy. Father Fahy denies that he does anything much. "What I try to be" "is the friend who stands by to help without questions when the need arises." And the need arises often on Broadway. In the two years that Father Fahy has been the actors' chaplain, representing the Catholic Actors' Guild, he has helped hundreds in ways that wouldn't seem offhand, to come within his duties. Chorus girls out of jobs and broke, mothers who want their runaway daughters found and brought back to them, actors stranded on the road—in all their troubles they turn to him, whatever their creed or their race, and he is usually able to find some... EXPORERS BRING NEW CROPS (San Bernardino Sun) Avocado, chayote, dasheen, pelibaye, and telfaria are words that mean nothing to most of the people of the United States. They are, however, worth knowing about and may become familiar ones in the market-place. They are new fruits and vegetables that have been introduced into the United States by a group of agricultural explorers employed by the Government to search the world over for new farm and garden products for America. Among other advantages possessed by the United States is the remarkable one that somewhere within its borders are conditions of climate and soil in which any plant which grows anywhere in the world may be grown. This presents unlimited possibilities, which the Government has recognized in sending out explorers all over the world, from South America and Asia to darkest Africa. In the last 25 years they have introduced into the United States more than 51,000 new grains, fruits, forage crops, vegetables, and other plants. Among the most valuable have been durum wheat from Russia, navel oranges from Brazil, rice from Japan, sorghum from the Sudan, and cotton from Egypt. These and others have added much wealth to the agricultural resources, and in some cases have provided a crop for land which could not otherwise be used. This little group of agricultural explorers is quietly, unostentatiously giving countless riches to the people of the United States, at the sacrifice of home and comfort, and at the risk of their lives. The debt to them should at least be acknowledged. Florida's race war is deplorable. None should regret it more than those who participated in it. The fruits of such violent outbreaks are always bitter and hurtful. EUREKA! EUREKA! That’s what Columbus said when he found good old America. That’s what you’ll say when you find these big 50 by 154 Boulevard lots, for $2,250, with a small payment down, balance small monthly payments.

Just trying out the new ribbon on the typewriter. How humiliating it will be when the Department of Justice gets ready for trial and finds the war grafters have died of old age. Another nice thing about reforming is that you can spend the remainder of your days feeling superior to everybody. At any rate, the day is gone when patriotism consisted in laying down your life to back up a diplomat's fool blunders. An old-timer is one who can remember when flour sacks were used to make underwear for the kids instead of dish towels. The kingliest of all virtues is plain, unadulterated honesty. During the first four weeks he hasn't the slightest notion what he is seating, and by that time the bride has learned to cook. This time you can't tell whether that noise of bumping is people falling from the wagon or dry agents demolishing a still. As a rule, the woman who brags about what a wonder her husband is merely chooses that method to kid herself into thinking she is happy.
