DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Why has God given us souls, and exposed us to sorrow, temptation and trial? Science here is dumb; but the spirit of Christianity, which is identical with the profoundest breathings of our common human heart, replies: "For discipline and preparation; for the formation of character, for the development of our individual personality."—Anonymous. California roads should be built to endure. Politics in 1924 will be of chill con carne warmth. General Sherman had the right conception of war. It is. Come on now with a "Pumpkin Pie Week!". The echo of a good deed is heard throughout eternity. God shows His love for the world by giving it so many good mothers. "Every day, in every way"—Europe in reversing the Coke formula! Any philosophy of gladness is better than any philosophy of sadness. The early-budding Presidential boom is in danger of late political frosts. A man entertaining his own worst enemy when he admits fear into his bosom. When Legislatures start out taxing things, they usually end up with taxing the patience of the people. Honesty and sincerity toward all nations and peoples is the best foreign policy for the United States. AMERICA NO LAVISH IN SCHOOL OUTLAYS Americans, as a rule, are quite complacent and self-satisfied as to the volume of support they give schools and the means of education. And yet, according to Dr. Lotus D. Coffman, president of the University of Minnesota, addressing the teachers of So. Cal. at Los Angeles, last year the people of this country spent more than $2,100,000,000 for cosmetics, tobacco, snuff and minor essentials, but expended only a little more than $1,500,000,000 for development in all branches of education. Such lectural thrusts as this jolt the people, for a brief time. But the public soon becomes complacent again. Splendidly as education, in general, is supported in this country, yet the grand total of expenditures for education is not so imposing as reasonably might be expected from a great, rich nation like this, devoted to intelligence and progress and general enlightment. Let it not be forgotten, either, that there are millions of illiterates in this country. There should be no resting upon oars, as to education. There is a vast deal to be done. The educational structure in this land is far from complete and far from perfect. SPEEDING IN ITS MORAL ASPECTS There is one type of speeder to whom nothing appeals, as a deterring influence, except a figurative club. Such offenders are made to halt only by a stiff fine or a jail sentence. Or by depriving them of their license to drive. But there is another class of speeders—some who thoughtlessly transgress the laws against dangerous driving. This is a morally-responsible class. Persons of this type have conscience that is susceptible to influence. Appeals to their moral sensibilities are not in vain. They are not brutally careless. They are The early-budding Presidential boom is in danger of late political frosts. A man entertaining his own worst enemy when he admits fear into his bosom. When Legislatures start out taxing things, they usually end up with taxing the patience of the people. Honesty and sincerity toward all nations and peoples is the best foreign policy for the United States. The grippe did not make President Harding halt so sick as some of the politicians and office-seekers do. A calm sea makes a lazy sailor. It is the storm and stress of life that develops ruggedness of character. Smile! Smile in adversity! Your brave smile may give heart to some struggling soul and inspire him or her to smile, too. In the thirty days that California legislators are to wait before reconvening and starting to enact laws, it were well if they passed a few resolutions (in their lawward conscience and consciousness) to hold down the number of enactments at this session. The state is not languishing for a multiplicity of statutes. Farmers, after all, do need good markets and fair prices for their products, more than they need credits, as a delegation of mid-West farmers told the Senate Agriculture Committee. Given a prompt market at remunerative prices, farmers do not need much credit—except short-time loans to tide them over from planting to marketing of crops. There is one type of speeder to whom nothing appeals, as a deterring influence, except a figurative club. Such offenders are made to halt only by a stiff fine or a jail sentence, or by depriving them of their license to drive. But there is another class of speeders—some who thoughtlessly transgress the laws against dangerous driving. This is a morally-responsible class. Persons of this type have conscience that is susceptible to influence. Appeals to their moral sensibilities are not in vain. They are not brutally careless. They are not the kind who would run down a pedestrian and then speed away without offering assistance. They are not wilful violators of the law. In striving to prevent violations of speed laws it would be well to keep this class of offenders in mind and to appeal to them through moral suasion. More could be accomplished toward winning them over to observance of laws and ordinances through persuasion and through appeals to moral responsibility and obligations of good citizenship, than to attempt to drive them by the lash of the law. France should have been the last to kindle the fires of militarism in Europe. It may not have intended to exert militaristic influence by its invasion of Germany, but that course is construed as militaristic and its influence is baneful. California well might set example before the country in the matter of jury reform. This state is progressive in many things. It should distinguish itself by making legal procedure as nearly what it should be as is possible for infinite man, in his present stage of development, to attain. THE VALUE OF A RADIO SET Radio in the modern home, plays an important part. It provides first hand information, it provides education, in the way of lectures; entertainment, by bringing the foremost artists of the country before you.

More than 120,000 Super-Sixes in service and a most eight years leadership of fine car sales show its position. Now the new Super-Six motor gives Hudson such a delightful smoothness in action that even long time Hudson owners marvel at the difference. HUDSON 7-Pass.

Los Angeles Street Anaheim—Phone 775 506-8 No. Broadway Santa EDITORIAL Abe Marlin PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Conservatism: "I've got mine." Radicalism: "Gimme." Life is just a slow and painful process of accumulating tax receipts. Tempers are seldom lost except in the vicinity of somebody the loser can lick. That lack of harmony in the concert of nations may be attributed to the loot. Unfortunately, however, seizing the Ruhr won't increase the French birth rate. In a city one's sleep is disturbed by the cars running; but in a small town there is nothing to disturb the quiet except the rum running. Patriots who klick about paying war taxes should be thankful that they are not required to salute while doing it. A complete cynic is a man who resents the existence of a decency in which he has no part. Lester Mapes kin start any make o' car, an' he hain't been in high school quite three months. If we wuz al doin' as well as Henry Ford, we'd be jest as slow about makin' a change as he is. TOWN IN REVIEW "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" asks a show placard. Have you tried the Elks' club. In Los Angeles, when a man wakes up shot he always wonders if it was his wife or a burglar. When our eyes rest upon some of the new ties, we wish men still wore long whiskers. Knowledge is power. But the knowledge that you have made an ass of yourself leaves you powerless. Hell, for some people, will be a dismal place where they will never have a chance to snub anybody. Germany appears more keenly interested in pairing with Russia than in repairing France. Another amusing feature of the situation is Uncle Sam's effort to kid himself with the belief that he is keeping out of Europe off duty. EDUCATE INTO THINKING (Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette) "Young ought to study, no TOWN IN REVIEW "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" asks a show placard. Have you tried the Elks' club. In Los Angeles, when a man wakes up shot he always wonders if it was his wife or a burglar. Just when everybody was looking forward to summer the news comes that straw hat brims will be wider. WITCHERY A hundred million atoms, placed end to end in a straight line, measure only an inch. Yet, at a scientific convention in Boston, photographs and moving pictures of individual atoms are shown, colliding as they rush about at a speed of 20,000 miles an hour. This demonstrates amazing skill by scientists. The rest of us are too busy, getting our ham and eggs, to investigate atoms. A fine feature of civilization is that the tollers are able to delegate the search for knowledge to a few and for the general good of all. It's instinctive in us. Even the savage has his witch doctor to commune with the unknown. Coincidental with rumors of another war comes the report that canned beef 3350 years old has been found in Luxor, Egypt. Exsoldier tells me these are just young cans they found. POSSIBLY DECATUR IS HAVING AN OPEN WINTER Miss Ruth March and Raymond Dunn were married Thursday morning at 9 o'clock in St. Patrick's church. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed March of Decatur. She wore a silver cloth hat and a corsage bouquet.—Decatur (Ill.) Herald. A Princton professor says Wm. J. Bryan is an ignoramus. This shows how our college professor are. A WORD FROM JOSH WISE: "I care not who writes our country's songs if I can't pick the singers." When our eyes rest upon some of the new ties, we wish men still wore long whiskers. Knowledge is power. But the knowledge that you have made an ass of yourself leaves you powerless. Hell, for some people, will be a dismal place where they will never have a chance to snub anybody. Germany appears more keenly interested in pairing with Russia than in repairing France. Another amusing feature of the situation is Uncle Sam's effort to kid himself with the belief that he is keeping out of Europe's affairs. The good never are persecuted by the wicked; they are persecuted by those who think their own standard of goodness is the right one. If a man devotes enough energy to his own job, he hasn't much time to pick flaws in the work of his betters. A rural enthusiast says more of them should be called Farmer-Congressmen. For that matter, more should be called former congressmen. All a woman wishes to know about her fur coat is that it cost more than the one her neighbor wears. In a hick town, a prominent family is one that keeps a cow. Apparently all great men die while their wives are away from home. They have last words. A wife is a person who wonders what you did with that ten-dollar bill you had this morning. And yet the corn belt's enthusiasm for a ship subsidy equals that displayed by coast cities for a guaranteed wheat price. Insurance companies say most fires are unnecessary. They may be necessary, however, to the people who hold the policies. If you are lazy and selfish and different, your chief pleasure consists in cussing those who are "trying to run things." Plain Dealer Want Ads Get Results EDUCATE INTO THINKING (Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette) "Young men ought to study, not from books, but from life." says Henry Ford. "The things that will be true ten years hence are not yet in books. Let young men quit depending on what they read and hear; let them dig into facts for themselves. "Put the money system on examination. Put politics and business and every other vital thing under scrutiny. Make 1923 a year of hard persistent thinking and not mere listening, and then it may be by 1924 that some solid ground will begin to appear beneath the nation's feet." Without agreeing with Ford's own views of the money system, one cannot but admit that his advice is sound. One need not decry the value of reading and listening while one acquiesces in the believer that too many young men stop with book-learning and do not add life-learning to their education. What book-learning is for is training for life. Of late, educators as well as other thoughtful people have been realizing that in too many cases the book-learning is viewed as an end in itself. The president of Yale University states his belief that there is too much informative education in the colleges, too little hard training to build up thinking power.
