DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Unswerving patriotism among the masses is "safety first" for the Nation. In the naval maneuvers, may the stronger and more vigilant fleet win. Whichever wins, it will be an American victory. May the United States Navy never be called to do more serious business than the mimic warfare in which it is engaging! Congress would have no justification whatever for indulging in "pork barrel" legislation. This is a time retrenchment that retrenches. The United States is the leading creditor notion of the world. But is not overbearing and despicable because of this distinction and power. The Western Hemisphere is singularly peaceful. The hope of peace throughout the world lies in the example set and the influence exerted by the American republics. It is an unevitable responsibility than any state in the Colorado River Basin would take upon itself by defending or delaying unanimous agreement as to the project to dom and control this great stream. Uncle Sam does not look approvingly upon militarism, wherever it may rear its head. If Christendom adhered strictly and consistently to the teachings of Christ, there would be no more world wars. The conception of heaven which seemingly is held by a good many men is, a place where bank balances are irreducible, no matter how much they are. MOUNTAIN SNOWS ARE OF IMMENSE WORTH This is a winter of great snows on the mountains of California and the Pacific West. In some places the fall has been phenomenal. Far down the mountain sides, to the very foothills, the showers of white crystals have fallen. The vision these snow-clad ranges present is one to thrill the soul. There is nothing more majestically beautiful than a great, lofty mountain peak, covered with snow, under the colorful rays of the setting sun or by pale moonlight. The material value of these snowy visitations is immense—in truth, beyond computation. There was a time, before white men came to this virile region, when the quantity of precipitation in mountains and valleys was negligible. But as states have been carved out of the wilderness and as towns and cities and thriving rural communities have sprung up, water supply has become an essential consideration. These phenomenally heavy snows, held by low temperatures on the high mountains, for slow melting, mean a huge addition to the reserve stored water supplies of the Pacific West, which is welcome and encouraging reassurance to industries and ranch and orchard interests and municipalities dependent upon these sources of domestic water supply. DILATORINESS COMMON IN CONGRESS It is fashionable to criticise Congress. The national legislature is as "light set upon a hill."

The conception of heaven which seemingly is held by a good many men is, a place where bank balances are irreducible, no matter how much one may draw out or how little one may put in the bank. The spirit and ideals of a country are shown by the way it treats its truly great men and women, while they live and after they are dead. The nation which neglects its glorious characters is decadent. If individuals all were just toward each other, nations would be just toward each other, and there would be no more wars, because there would be no cause for wars. The basic cause of international war is the injustice of individuals toward other individuals. This spreads until it infects the national life and shapes national policies, in many instances. Infairness it should be said, and the fact should be recognized that there are many happy and successful marriages among actors on the stage and screen. As in other walks of life, prominent personages in theatrical activities are given much sensational prominence should there be any scandal or failure in connection with their domestic affairs. But this happy and successful marriages are not exploited by the sensational press. This gives the false impression to many that broken homes and multimonial scandals are the rule among stage and film folk. DILATORINESS COMMON IN CONGRESS It is fashionable to criticise Congress. The national legislature is as "light set upon a hill." Everybody can see it, and it becomes the target for criticism whenever it develops faults and defects. It is wholly proper that Congress should be under the watchful eye of the public. The public's criticisms, however, should be fair and constructive. Just now the country is treated to the spectacle of the United States Senate trying to hurry and making a sorry mess of it. The Senate and the House could hurry important legislation, if they would. This was demonstrated during the period in which the United States was participating in the World War. Bills and resolutions of great pitch and moment were put through both houses in a few hours. While in considerate haste is not to be favored, yet any and every measure could be acted upon intelligently with reasonable dispatch. Dilatoriness becomes a fixed habit, if persisted in, and sometimes the people feel that Congress has acquired this fixed and annoying habit. If there were systematic prodding from constituents, national legislators might cure themselves of this habit. Thank heaven for the beautiful myths which sweeten and happily life, stimulate the imagination and idealize existence. If it were not for its myths, this would be a dreary old world. Many myths is more real than many an ostensible reality. Save Money Used Cars FORDS, CHEVROLETS, BUICKS, HUPS, DODGES, NASH, SAXONS, MITCHELL, OVERLANDS, MANY OTHERS. Terms of course.

But no one can escape the eagle eye or ear of one of our enforcement officials. The other day, my young Southern friend was cering through the Grand Central station. Some thing in her bag tinkled and clinked. Suddenly a heavy hand fell on her shoulder. "What's that in your bag?" demanded a tall, large man who owned the hand. "Well, what is that to you?" the amazed girl asked. "It's a good deal to me and it may mean a good deal to you," he answered, throwing back his coat to show his badge. "Oh, all right, look and see for yourself," said the girl, putting it, tenderly in his outstretched hand. A crowd had gathered meantime which stood expectantly while the officer opened the bag—and took out a water tumbler with a nail-brush rattling inside of it—supplies for her new office just purchased at the ten cent store!

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WEST INDIES ISLANDS NEEDED BY UNITED STATES Acquisition by the United States of strategic islands in the West Indies, now owned by Great Britain and France, is being urged particularly in United States naval circles. Leading naval strategists regard these islands as being vital to security of the United States. They are particularly needed, it is pointed out, to safeguard the approaches to the Panama Canal. If the United States owned these islands, powerful naval bases could be established there to protect the canal, the mainland of the United States and the vital arteries of ocean trade passing through southeastern waters. Agitation for the purchase of the islands is being renewed. There is no questioning the fact that possession of these islands would be immensely beneficial to the United States, and if equitable arrangements for their purchase could be made with Britain and France, the deal would be warranted. Not only for national defense would these islands be valuable to the United States, but their commercial worth would be very great. Negotiations looking to friendly acquiring of the islands would be in order. It Pays to Advertise In the Orange County Plain Dealer. Phone 749 D. F.

The poor we have with us always. Another sad commentary on our civilization is the fact that the first boast of most cities is their size. The reason the dove doesn't bring the olive branch in its bill is because the bill isn't complete yet. The sale of marks enable Germany to begin recovery; perhaps the sale of police dogs will finish the job. Patriotism, whether municipal or national, is just a conviction that excellence begins and ends at home. And so the Germans will fight if imposed upon too much? Let's see; who was it imposed on them the last time? When police do their regular target practice, their score may be improved by providing a dummy of an innocent bystander as target. The difference between a clean table cloth and a soiled one is that you seldom spill anything on a soiled one. Correct this sentence: "Run out and play in the slush and snow," said the fond mother; "a little exposure will toughen you." Let us be grateful for these pouss individuals who feel very important. There are so few things in the world to make us smile. When an experienced wife wishes to be courted anew she remains silent and answers wistfully: "No, dear; there's nothing the matter."

In Doug's own styling is but the "fixer" for the picture capitalistic interests. The question has been precipitated in a pertinent letter addressed to Mr. Hays by Haviland H. Lund, president of the Institute of Government, in which he is asked to define his exact powers for purposes of consideration at the Institute's coming convention. It is significant that what has heretofore been considered inside business concern of the movies is being made the subject of national consideration by the patriotic and civic organizations of the country. At the same convention where Mr. Hayes is to be held for an accounting, numerous speakers are to appear to discuss this and other national issues. Among them are Sen. James J. Wadsworth, Jr., Congressman Louis T. McKadden, Congressman Hatton Summer, Judge Ben Lindsay, Mrs. Philip North Moore, Mrs. William Cumming Story, Brig. Gen. Amose Fries, W. W. Hodkinson, Floyd J. Ramsdell, Mrs. Frederick Schoff, Rev. Harry L. Bowlby and Mrs. David Allen Campbell.

Striebel for considerable flair the other day, when the Silk Show committee announced "a special showing of ribbons for men". But just when we had our minds all set on a picture of our men friends coming out this spring in bright blue and pink bows and streamers, it resolved into an anti-climax. When we arrived at the show, we found the showing of men's ribbons consisted entirely of shoe laces, watch fobs and eye glass ribbons.
