DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS He would have us turn to Him with the sentiment of trust, obedience, and love; the sentiment that accepts every token that He holds out to it as a new appeal, demanding the complete fidelity of the soul to Him—Dr. Owen Street. Latin America is maintaining peace admirably. If criminality is to be suppressed it must be handled with ungloved hands. Uncle Sam is insisting upon the "open door" in Turkey, with oiled hinges. There should be an end to wasteful inroads upon the state treasury at Sacramento. Whatever one does, even though it be humble, is dignified if one does one's very best. Lynching is as much out of place in this country as is any other crime against God and man. The consumer should not have his fuel situation blackend by another coal strike this year. Character is built as a house is built—not by beginning at the roof and building down, but by beginning at the foundation and building up. Legislators at Sacramento should not swamp retrenchment plans with unnecessary appropriation measures. The only way really to retrench is really to retrench. Curb the murderous spirit rife in California. Inculcate moral principles and purposes in the young. GIVE MORAL TEACHING IN PURLIC SCHOOLS Shocking crimes by young persons in this state; and startling delinquencies of boys and girls of tender years, should arouse the educational forces of the commonwealth to the vital importance of giving systematic instruction in moral principles. A certain period should be set aside in the schools for teaching in fundamental morality. Children should have morality stressed in their relations with each other during school hours, and in their conduct toward all with whom they come into contact. Attention should be given also to stirring up parents to the supreme importance of training their children against crime and vice. Besides giving them wholesome home influence and guarding them against evil companionship, bad literature and suggestive motion-pictures, parents should co-operate with school authorities and religious organizations in providing striking lectures and moving pictures to incipicate moral lessons. There should be thoroughgoing co-operation among all the forces of good in home, and church, and school, and clean interests of all kinds, to promote healthful, virile moral sentiment among the young. It is by this method that the moral salvation of the Nation would be assured. MANY BETTERMENTS IN THIS SECTION A veritable epidemic of public improvements—so to speak—is prevalent here in Southern California, as one is impressed who drives through cities, towns and rural districts. Street and highway betterments are to be found everywhere, either made or in the making. New school buildings are going up in inspiring affairs. As the years pass things seem to impress per berth.

California is making steady, substantial progress. It is advancing in every good direction and retrogressing in none. Its growth and development are sound and permanent. Judicious investment in California realty is profitable. There is just so much land in California. But the number of would-be California landowners is increasing constantly. Brutal murders in California by mere boys should awaken the people to the vital need of developing the moral nature of the young and throwing about them sound influences and moral restraints. MANY BETTERMENTS IN THIS SECTION A veritable epidemic of public improvements—so to speak—is prevalent here in Southern California, as one is impressed who drives through cities, towns and rural districts. Street and highway betterments are to be found everywhere, either made or in the making. New school buildings are going up in inspiring numbers. Public parks are being dedicated and beautified. Planting and care of flowers and shrubbery in parkings are common sights. Extensive beautification schemes are being evolved. Beautiful ornamental street lights add to the splendors of the night in cities and towns. Beautiful public buildings are in evidence. Beauty and utility are so well blended that a fine ensemble results. Owners of private premises catch the infection. Clean, neat, ornate properties are to be found in dazzling plenitude. Visitors exclaim at the attractiveness of homes and grounds—the refreshing diversity of architecture and of landscaping effects. This section gives the impression of trimness, neatness and thriving and of being thoroughly up-to-date and progressive. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING MAINTAIN ENGLISH TONGUE—New York Evening Post A permanent international body of scholars and writers to maintain the traditions and help the development of the English language has been agreed upon by an English group which includes Lord Balfour, Robert Bridges, Prof. A. T. Quiller-Couch, and Henry Newbolt, and an American group including Robert Underwood Johnson, Prof. Grandgent, Prof. John M. Manly, and Prof. Fred N. Scott. This body is, of course, intended to include representatives of all English-speaking peoples. That such an organization can find useful employment seems clear. The future of the English language is now in the hands nearly 200,000,000 people, scattered all over the globe, employing it under every conceivable variety of environment and experience, and shaping it to uses more multifocal than have ever been given any other tongue. Most of them have some sense of its traditions, but the Filipino, Boer, American, or Australian immigrant usually has none. There ought to be a place for an authoritative linguistic institute. But what kind of place. The published correspondence of the two groups is wholly vague on this point. It is superfluous for Balfour, Bridges and Newbolt to warn the American group against "the establishment of an authoritative academy tending inevitably to divorce the literary from the spoken language." No such academy could possibly be formed. The only academy English-speaking peoples will ever have, the best academy they could possibly have, is the academy of our classic. On the other hand, the body proposed will aim at a low mark if it acts merely as a research clearing house in the study of topics connected with the English language and literature, much as that is no wneeded, or if it merely issues pamphlets like those of Dr. Bridges' Society for Pure English, valuable as they are. It ought to try to fill a larger place. The English language is so catholic because of its geographical comprehensiveness and so dynamic because of its use by the world's most vigorous nations, that it needs all the emphasis on tradition it can find. The suggested body can exert a valuable conservative influence on teachers, authors, and press if it chooses the right means. So this is keeping affairs. As the years pass things seem to impress per berth. A hick town is only parking reservation neighbor's wrath. Some homes are in order, and some people.

A. 419 Bush St. Phone 1877 Santa Ana Union Pacific NEW YORK LETTER (By Lucy Jeanne Price) NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—Our police may have their sterling qualities but they do not understand or appreciate symbolism. When George Bell, dancer at a Broadway cabaret, fluttered into the police station, the new $500 fur coat carelessly on the floor and began doing a complicated set of steps, accompanied by a waving of his arms, the police were amazed. "Butterflies before dawn," he announced with pride. "Looks more to me like 'Squirrels after a nut,'" said heart-hearted Desk Lieutenant McGowan. "Cut it out." "What's the matter?" queried Mr. Bell, who being 37 years old, did not wish to be joked with. "Can't you appreciate allegorical dancing?" But they couldn't, and he was put behind the cold bars on a charge of disorderly conduct. The bobbed haired maid is learning patience these days. It's hardly fair of fashion to demand something which is as easy as having one's hair cut—sz-z-z and it's gone!—and then just as suddenly and imperatively, demand something as difficult and tedious as making it grow long. But that's fashion, every time and it is proving a test of many a girl's disposition to see whether she looks resigned or resentful as she swings along the avenue. Never have New York hair-dressers and coiffure artists been called upon with such insistence and such pathos. They can't do the impossible and turn five inch tresses into fifteen inch ones overnight, of course so they are doing the next best thing and proving once more how the eye can be deceived. With a particularly clever permanent wave, the ends are concealed and one imagines coils instead of a skillful "turn under." Jobyna Howland's historic thanksgiving to Mrs. Em Moots' sister-in-law shot an' killed her husband last week while quarrellin' over gatherin' up a Sunday newspaper. Th' ku klux are gittin' so numerous over around Bloom Center that Al Grimes has opened a No. 2 dry goods store. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) So this is keeping out of Europe's affairs. As the years pass, almost everything seems to improve except an upper berth. A hick town is a place where the only parking restriction is your neighbor's wrath. Of all the things Winthrop Ames has done for the American theater, no one will shine in its annals as the current production of "Will Shakespeare." Aside from the intrinsic merit of this play in blank verse by Vlemence Dane, it was a happy thought to give it to us this year in the midst of the important Shakespeare revivals. No one should be in the least concerned with the accuracy of the play historically—it will be recalled that Mr. Shakespeare never allowed a little thing like that to cramp his stile—and it is doubtful whether the same ingenious charm would have been employed had it been so. Forgetful of the beauty of the production, and the value retained in the adaptation, the event is memorable for the work of the English actress, Haldee Wright imported for her interpretation of the part of Queen Elizabeth. It is the finest blond character acting of the season. Most artists would depend upon the trappings and get up which have long characterized a portrayal of Elizabeth, but this rare woman transplants the spirit of the Elizabeth age in a fashion which makes you love her and Ames and England alike. Striped candles are the latest convenience for the dinner hostess.

As the years pass, almost everything seems to improve except an upper berth. A hick town is a place where the only parking restriction is your neighbor's wrath. Some homes are kept spotless and in order, and some are full of happy people. Correct this sentence, "Thank you, no," said the public official, "I haven't tasted the stuff since the country went dry." An optimist remains in his seat and doesn't look shocked when the filling station man says: "It took seventeen gallons." An old-timer is one who can remember when a nice girl didn't cross her legs. Matrimony settles down to normal when she begins to ask pensively if he still loves her. Some people will really enjoy hell, where all the neighbors are wicked enough to afford meat for splay gossip. It is well to remember that every existing people has at some time been considered an inferior people by the bully of the day. Every woman likes to think that her husband probably had a stormy and adventurous past. The nations will return to their Father's house when they grow weary of a diet of husks. Gasoline measure: Four quarts equal one gallon; six gallons equal ten gallons if you're not looking. Our guess is that Eve's first words were: Adam, what shall I fix for dinner? It doesn't help much to spend money to fix jails and then spend more to fix juries. A gentleman is a man who keeps telling his wife she is pretty long after she isn't. When a man is broken-hearted and wishes to do something desperate in these times, about all he can do is position to see whether she looks signed or resentful as she swings along the avenue. Never have New York hair-dressers and coiffure artists been called upon with such insistance and such pathos. They can't do the impossible and turn five inch tresses into fifteen inch ones overnight, of course so they are doing the next best thing and proving once more how the eye can be deceived. With a particularly clever permanent wave, the ends are concealed and one imagines coils instead of a skillful "turn under." Jobyna Howland's historic thanksgiving to the man who discovered henna is no more heartfelt than the flappers' peacan to him who invented the permanent wave and then improved it so that it doesn't keep bobbed locks from growing while they're waving. If Mr. Nestle weren't still alive, they'd probably erect a statute to him out of their gratitude. "The dangerous age" is nine years long, according to Supreme Court Striped candles are the latest convenience for the dinner hostess. It isn't the most cordial thing to keep looking at one's watch during dinner, even a jeweled wrist watch, and yet hostesses must know how much time remains before the theatre, for instance. So a clever manufacturer has introduced to the local market, candles with half-hour stripes running around them. It takes just thirty minutes for that portion to burn away and the hostess looks sweetly at the candle instead of her watch. The DOBLE it's here ---with its 100,000 IT IS THE MOST SENIOR IN THE HISTORY INDUSTRY. 1923 TODAY, TOM SATURDY PAIGE When a man is broken-hearted and wishes to do something desperate in these times, about all he can do is chew tobacco. You can't tell by the size of a man's salary how much his wife lets him have to spend. We cuss diplomats for making wars, but never yet have diplomats made a war without the active cooperation of national prejudice. The average man thinks he has a forgiving spirit because he sympathizes with the criminal who wronged the other fellow. The powerful Christian nations seem determined to protect Christians in their inalienable right to stay out of Turkey. "The American conscience is becoming vocal," says a statesman. Suggestion to the American conscience: Louder. Correct this sentence: "Come right in, sir," said the busy man; "I'm always glad to examine new sets of looks." The world never will be wholly civilized. Some outlying portions have no natural resources worth seizing. (Protected by Associated Editors) Phone 749 D. F.
