DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Let us lift up our hearts; let us be bold and brave in our faith, that when we are weak, we may be strong, and do all things, bear all things, become all things, through Him who strengthens us. —Anonymous. When Congress rests, so do the people. Make the criminal feel extremely unwelcome in California. Politeness refreshes and delights those who are recipients of it. Nothing gives a person so much moral courage as a clear conscience. What has become of the old-fashioned man who hasn't a radio outfit in his house? The clutches of the speculative gambler should be kept off the necessaries of life. Planting trees should be an inspiring practice in California. Everybody should join in it zestfully. The price of folly is high, whether it be rated in dollars and cents, or in suffering and humiliation. Being a royal mummy is precarious. It may repose in the tomb today and in a museum tomorrow. Some members of Congress, despite the budget, are disposed to draw fat appropriations from the "pork barrel." Arizona would stand in the way of its own advancement, should it try to block ratification of the Colorado River pact. There is this advantage that the humble dead have over the illustrous Pharaoh—their bones rest in peace, without disturbance. The motor truck and the steamboat soon may be driving the railroad. DISREGARD FOR LAW IS TO COMMON Too many persons of respectability and responsibility throw their influence, perhaps unwittingly against law and order. They speak lightly, often times sparringly, in the presence of others, about laws and about the constituted authorities to whom fall the duty of enforcing the law. And, on occasion, they themselves evade or violate laws, but no flagrant extent. Example of such persons, in these things, however, is wholly pernicious. Because, while these persons may have the moral restraint to keep themselves from doing anything outbreaking, and to suppress in themselves any inclination in this direction, there are many others who are not so well fortified morally who come under the harmful influence of the thoughtless words and reckless deeds of this more responsible element. In the fight against criminality due attention should be given to the influence which representative men and women exert with regard to respect for law and for its enforcement. CALIFORINA AN EMPIRE IN AND OF ITSELF California, in and of itself, practically is economically independent. If shut off from all the rest of the world for an indefinite period, this state would be able to supply itself with vitals from its own resources. Its mines would afford minerals sufficient for all practical purposes. Its lands would feed a population many times greater than it now has. Its forests would supply building material. Its mountain streams would give almost limitless hydroelectric power. In a word, in every essential, California is an empire in itself, not dependent upon the outside world for vital economic things. These things are said, not in boastfulness, but to make more striking the realization that California is truly great in manifold resources and endowments of Providence. Some members of Congress, despite the budget, are disposed to draw fat appropriations from the "pork barrel." Arizona would stand in the way of its own advancement, should it try to block ratification of the Colorado River pact. There is this advantage that the humble dead have over the illustrous Pharaoh—their bones rest in peace, without disturbance. The motor truck and the steamboat soon may be giving the railroad train a close race for importance as transportation utilities. Comparatively few men are involuntarily idle in this country. There is a brisk demand for labor in many branches of industry.

A break between nations doesn't seem so diaastrous when the nations are broke. The difference between a coupe and a toupe is that one is a permanent top. A hick town is a place where everybody calls Central to ask where the fire is. It is possible to get alcohol out of all woody except, perhaps, Hollywood. Some men live to a ripe old age, and some try to climb through a barbed-wire fence with a loaded shot gun. All things come to him who waits, except the reputation of being a bustler. Another difference between death and taxes is that you can die without faking the books or fearing a come-back. With game laws tightening every year, about the only things you can shoot with impunity are busbands, bull and craps. A moral sense is the quality that enables us to feel shocked when our enemy thinks of a crooked move first. You see, poor old Germany can't pay without hurting herself almost as badly as she hurt France. Correct this sentence: "We feel very fortunate," said the mother, "for John and I both preferred a girl." TOWN IN REVIEW If the U.S. really wants to jump the navy, just let 'em keep sending ships on practice cruises to the Panama canal. There are gonig to have another Father and Son week. Son, that out. Let Dad have the car one night a week. A Paris cable says the girls will be wearing glingham next summer. That's a big relief, we were afraid they would be wearing bathing suit. A movie star is married and refuses to tell her hubby's name, even though she admits she knows it. All storms, says a weather prophet, start in the torrid zone. He's wrong. Some of them start in the city hall, just before election. Trim ankles trim men, says Tom Sims. A man was fined $10 for laughing in eastern-movie theater. "Well, as Grandpa Wiggins used to say," Some men would laugh at the own theater." The Klan claims a membership of 1,450,000. No wonder there is shortage of sheets. Alaska, according to conflicting advertising, is where they shove the snow off the lawns to cut the grass. Ludendorf advises all Germans to pray. Yes—for forgiveness. GIVE A SECOND TO THIS THOUGH FROM A GREAT AMERICAN FILM "Labor to keep alive in your breast the little spark of celestial fire called conscience."—George Washington ton. CALENDAR CHANGES PROPOSED (Riverside (Cal.) Press) The chamber of commerce of an eastern state has drawn up a resolution calling for an international conference to improve the Gregorian calendar, in use throughout most of the civilized world today. The proposed new calendar would embrace 13 months of four weeks each, a year of 365 days and a day to be known as January 0 to sandwich between December 31 and New Year's day. Leap year, the resolution provides, would be an international holiday, dropped somewhere among the 365 days where it could be enjoyed, with fair prospects of good weather. The 13th month, the odd one, would be inserted between June and July, and as a consequence everyone would know without asking on what day New Year's comes, and could forget once and for all whether to figure on a 30 or 31-day month. Calendar changes have been advocated and some adopted since time immemorial. That we are far from a state of perfection in many phases of our everyday life does not need reiteration. Our archaic and antiquated method of computing distances is but an example. But whether a calendar change is advisable or not is a matter for intence study. There's one nice thing about being in jail. It isn't your job to worry about heating the thing. Disarming the nations won't help much, anyway, unless a way can be found to disarm suspicion. How times change. The strap now used in the street car to hang on once was used in the woodshed to prevent hanging. Job stared sadly at his bolls. "Well thank goodness," said he; "they are not colonial possessions." When the modern says he can drink or let it alone, he isn't talking about will power; he's talking about nerve.
