FEED STARVING BIRDS IS MAIL MEN'S ORDER Uncle Sam has great and important functions to perform. His postal service, for instance, has expanded into a $500,000,000 institution. And yet, stupendous as is the task laid upon the army of faithful postal employees, the members of the epostal service are not so complexly absorbed in their duties that they forget the little amenities an d the gracious acts which savor life. From Postmaster General Work has come orders to rural route carriers to distribute grains along their routes for starving birds, when supplies of grain are furnished them for this purpose. State game wardens requested this benevolent functioning, to protect birds in regions where the ground in winter is covered with snow. Kind-hearted carriers will delight to perform this act of mercy. In no activity in life should men become so hardened and so engrossed as to forget the gentle, helpless creatures when in distress. Any man, woman or child is enriched and ennobled in character and made happier fro mbeing kind and helpful to animals. Not a sparrow falls unnoticed by the Heavenly Father, the Christ reminds the world. If the Creator is thus considerate of His Creatures, is it not worth the while of man to collaborate with God in this? SAFETY IN TRAFFIC IS SUPERLATIVE NEED Traffic on the streets and highways of California is increasing steadily, year after year. Much of this is sheer commercial traffic—that is hauling commodities to and from. And much of it is pleasure traffic. Both kinds of traffic will increase constantly. Consequently, the problem of safeguarding traffic becomes continuous here. This problem is entailed upon California because of its popularity. Thousands and thousands of autoists come into this state from other states, drawn here by the lure of climate and mankind nature—how perverse it is! Through the ages men have been preying upon each other by force, and the evil effects of the application of the law of might are apparent through all the generations of recorded history. Nineteen centuries ago the Christ came to earth and taught peace. His whole career was an embodiment of the principle of peace and good will toward men. Other great leaders and teachers among men have emphasized peace. And yet, in the super-enlightened twentieth century the greatest war of all time was waged! And now the nations of Europe are brandishing swords and are ready for another trial of martial strength. Poor old human nature! Will it never, never profit by the bloody experiences of the ages? Will it never, never forego resorting to force? The lesson of the ages is, that war devastates, destroys, demoralizes, detractors its victims. Peace is the better way, as all civilized, humane beings will agree. And yet there is so much perversity, and rapacity, and pugnacity in the world that, even in this advanced age, the law of might is invoked. But there is reason to hope that the dawn of better days is at hand. Despite the lingering militarisms of the Old World, potent forces are at work to turn back the tides of war and to usher in the glorious era of peace foreshadowed by poets and seers, and humanitarians. TEMPLES OF WORSHIP Here in this city of homes and churches, new church edifices are arising which will be an ornament and a credit to this city. All over Southland the same inspiring story is being written in letters of architectural beauty—beautiful new temples dedicated to the worship of God, are arising. Verily, this is a land of churches—a Christian land. And verily California is being imbued with Christian ideals. For these churches, for the most part, are two can't but a five-pound more than a moral movie great aid of a little Vanity is a fat and awful oeus when he One part ability of the in the docilit Traffic on the streets and highways of California is increasing steadily, year after year. Much of this is sheer commercial traffic—that is hauling commodities to and from. And much of it is pleasure traffic. Both kinds of traffic will increase constantly. Consequently, the problem of safeguarding traffic becomes continuous here. This problem is entailed upon California because of its popularity. Thousands and thousands of autoists come into this state from other states, drawn here by the lure of climate and scenery and general attractiveness and interest. The number of sightseers increases, year after year. Every safety arrangement and device that science and human ingenuity can devise should be thrown around traffic in this state. Furthermore, flagrant, wilful violations of traffic rules, to the imperiling of lives, should be punished with exemplary severity, everywhere in the state. Careful autoists should cooperate with the authorities in efforts to suppress reckless speeding on street and highways. The tongues of gossip are as destructive to happiness of the people as are the ravages of a great war. The mischief-making tongue should be repressed, just as is the hand that works mischief. California is a veritable empire in itself—imperial in territorial area and imperial in the volume, variety and quality of its productions. This state is able not only to provision itself, but a large portion of the country. And its productive possibilities have not been developed to the utmost, by any means. California should protect itself against floods, and at the same time impound flood waters to be used in good service, such as generating power and providing irrigation. Providence give this state enormous water resources which are allowed to run riot, creating great havoc and intillating huge waste. Flood waters should be controlled and conserved. TEMPLES OF WORSHIP Here in this city of homes and churches, new church edifices are arising which will be an ornament and a credit to this city. All over this Southland the same inspiring story is being written in letters of architectural beauty—beautiful new temples dedicated to the worship of God, are arising. Verily, this is a land of churches—a Christian land. And verily California is being imbued with Christian ideals. For these churches, for the most part, are well attended and are supported liberally. None but a Christian people would proceed in this manner. None but a Christian people would welcome Christian churches and aid in the good works in which these churches are engaged. Devotion of these Southland communities to religious causes and generous support of churches and church institutions speaks well of this section to the world. Even worldly men prefer to live and to rear their families in communities where churches abound and where there is a pervasive religious atmosphere. The man who lies in a soft bed does not realize the lot of those on a hard cot. Mrs. Miles Polindexter's revelations as to privileges taken by cabinet officers and their families, at Uncle Sam's expense, may have been prompted by plique. But, even no, they may be productive of good. Investigation may be instituted and misuse of public funds may be disclosed and inhibited in future. Too much cannot be said in praise of the course pursued by several small but historic countries of Europe. Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Portugal—all these are pursuing the even tenor of their several ways, provoking no wars and having nothing to do with war-like schemes. They are prospering, as they deserve to prosper, by cultivating the arts of peace.

TOWN IN REVIEW We've called up all the hospitals in Orange-co and not one has received a patient suffering from insomnia over Germany's charges that the French are using "terrorizing" methods. Dear Town in Review: Has it come to this? According to San Diego paper: "Shot down and fatally wounded by an unarmed man while on his way home last night, Adam Cook, Northern Pacific railroad shop foreman, died today." Next thing we know husbands will be beaten to death by hammerless wives.—UNCLE ABE. An in corrigible punster, noting that P. M. Gen. Work is slated for Fall's cabinet job asks, 'When Albert Fall (s) will Hubert Work?' A man who read Life last week replies, "Someone must do the Daugherty work." There seems to be a conflict between the Volstead law and the law of supply and demand. Mr. Maxwell's Household Hints Tea leaves should be saved until fall. Then make a bonfire of them. Never throw away old piano strings. They can easily be woven together and used as a clotheline. Moth balls will lose their unpleasant odor if dipped in paraffin and hung on a clothesline outdoor for several hours. Cold cream should not be skimmed with a tea strainer, as the metal will coagulate the residuum. Scratch 'Em Dear Sir: How can I make the clocks on my socks stop ticking?—Miss Eva. Prediction A radio fan is ready to believe almost anything, but here's a poster. Some of the leading spiritualistic mediums think it will not be long until wireless operators begin picking up messages from departed spirits. At that, the radio is the closest we living have so far gotten to the supernatural. It blends into the Barrier. Call it statie or what you will; some might uncanny sounds come over the radio. What, after all, is supernatural? It's one field where the maps haven't been charted. Idea for Popular Song "I Hope I Meet You When I Get Where You Told Me to Go." We like Mr. Coue and his auto-suggestion rhymes, but doesn't Europe need him worse, right now, than we do? Three Florida fishermen drifted 11 days and lived on beer alone, proving dreams do come true. Los Angeles grabbed off San Diego's customs collector, and consolidated the office with the San Pedro port office. Now watch the L. A. papers come out with 2-column yarns headed, "L. A.

SANDSTORM HINDERS EXCAVATION AT TOMB LUXXOR, Egypt—High winds and sandstorms that swept over the ruins of the ancient burial places of the Pharoahs diminished crowds of tourists withnessing excavation of King Tut-Ankh-Amen’s tombs today. Only a few articles were brought out of the echoing chambers yesterday. They included pieces of jewelry a wooden gold-inlaid model of Tut Ankh-Amen and parts of a chariot. Excavation continued today despite the storm that pelted sharp grains of sand into the faces of tourists and workers. The excavators expect to penetrate the inner chambers of the tomb, where the body of the king is supposed to repose, shortly. PACIFIC SALVAGE & WRECKAGE CO.
