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 become strong, and do all things, bear all things, become all things, through Him who strengthens us. —Anonymous. Habit forges strong chains, hard to break. Wealth buys more misery than happiness. Make newcomers to California feel welcome. There is no meaner vice than ingratitude. Men's judgments differ as day differs from night. The schools should be thorough in teaching correct speech. They hang too many juries and not enough murderers in California. Loving one's head in traffic, these days, usually means losing one's life. There are always those who will impose upon good nature and generosity. The health of Woodrow Wilson, former president, is reported to be greatly improved. Which will gratify his millions of admirers. Woman's inhumanities to herself, to keep up with the fashions, is proverbial. But men are just as foolish in other directions. George Washington's fame is secure. By sheer force of character and superior capabilities he became "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Inasmuch as it seemingly requires an adjustment to the United States DEBT FUNDING IS VERY IMPORTANT Congress has done wisely in accepting, in general, the terms of settlement of the British war debt to the United States. With the reconciling amendments between the House and Senate, the measure will go (to the President and will receive prompt approval there). This achievement, brought about happily by co-operation of representatives of both of the great political parties in Congress, is expected to contribute very materially to the restoration of economic normality throughout the world. It puts the two great English-speaking nations on rapport in one of the most important steps taken since the Armistice to get the business and finance of the world on a definite stabel basis. While settlements with other powers owing war debts to the United States may be made each upon its own merits, yet this major settlement between the United States and Great Britain doubtless will be the model after which other settlements will be fashioned. Despite the darkness of the situation in certain portions of Europe, there is reasonable ground for hope that some peaceable solution may be found. This year, starting so darkly in Europe, may bring forth far better conditions are it ends. All if troubles of course cannot be settled in one year or ten years. But a reasonable measure of stability may be attained even this year and it is not unreasonable to expect this. The law of malice and reprisal should not prevail in America's industrial life. Destroy belief in God and Heaven and what is left in life for which to live? The English language oftentimes is tortured by those who should be its friends. So long as a man does honestly and does his best, he cannot be a complete failure.

By sheer force of character and superior capability he became "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Inasmuch as it seemingly requires an enlistment to the United States Constitution to abolish child labor, let the amendment be submitted to the states. This evil should be suppressed. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING FAIR WAGE FOR WOMEN—New York Evening Post A minimum wage bill is now before both houses of the legislature. Behind it are Gov. Smith and other Democratic leaders, the State Assn. and Citizens Union, and that long list of women's organizations constituting the Women's Joint Legislative Conference. Its passage in the Senate seems assured, but as before, the Assembly stands in doubt. The Republican majority gives Speaker Mac hold the power which Speaker Sweet so busily exercised of strangling it, the eight-hour bill, and other welfare legislation, and all possible pressure should be brought to bear upon him and the Labor and Industries Committee. Are women really so badly paid in New York State that they really need protection against sweating? Will not much a law ruin the employers or force them to make wholesale dismissals? The State Department of Labor recently published a study of women's wages in 5 and 10 cent stores. It found that during 1920 and the spring of 1921 three of the leading children paid dividends ranging from 15.5 per cent to 20.4 per cent; that at time the New York Bureau of Municipal Research estimated that a woman clerical worker could not live properly for less than $19.55 a week; and yet that if we take the lower estimate of $18.50 as a decent wage in New York and Brooklyn seven sales- The law of malice and reprisal should not prevail in America's industrial life.

So long as a man does honestly and does his best, he cannot be a complete failure. The most phenomenal achievements of recent years have been in the realm of the air.

Descriptive Factory Representative, W. G. CARTTER Monrovia, Phone Red 266 Day and Night Water Heater Co. Monrovia, California EDITORIAL TUESDAY Subscriptio Entered au Abe Martin NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Things are in a bad way when ordinary genial politeness has to be foregone because it is compromising. That is the state of affairs as affects our public officials of this reckless city. David Girshfield, Commissioner of Accounts, has made a plea to Mayor Hylan not to shake hands with anyone in public unless it is an old, tested and trusted friend. Mr. Girshfield himself has already adopted the rule, "Every time I walk through City Hall Park, a hotel lobby or any other public place," he says, "I stick my hands in my pocket and keep them there, walking as rapidly as I can and looking neither to the right nor left." That is what he wants our Mayor to do. "Slickers" who sell "pull" with public officials are the reason for this coldness. "Things have got so bad," Mr. Girshfield continued, "that every city official is sold every day without his even suspecting it. A man tells how much influence he has with one of us. To prove it, he stops us on the street a discreet distance from his client." "Glad to see you looking so well, I heard you were ill. I want to congratulate you on—something or other." The Mayor and the other general ones think it's some one they ought to know and shake hands and smile graciously. Back the man goes to his victim. The Mayor says it's all right, the says. And pockets the victim's money in payment." Only 600,000,000 people lost all they had earned tryin' t' double their money in 1922. It seems like I'd folks that'a got th' most knowledge haint got nothin' else. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Year by year typewriters grow better in every way except their spelling. Quantity production tends to cheapen almost everything including laws. So far we haven't noticed a Presidential boom that says anything more than "Ping." "Empires contain the seed of their own destruction." Huh. You can say that about empires. Taxation may reduce swollen fortunes, but you can't do a darned TOWN IN REVIEW Some men make a living looking for trouble. They wink for the electric light and step one companies. Noah Count was mentioned in a Cleveland paper the other day. Henry Ford might not make a good president, but he would give us a good shake for our money. Better Go Right Home and Throw Some Dishes at the Wife A Detroit woman shot her husband. "I did it because I loved him," she said. A Logan (O.) hen has four legs which is very lucky if she has to scratch for a living. Eats Corned-Beef-and-cabbage originated accidentally several hundred years ago in Kerqquellen Land, small island far southwest of Australia. An explorer, seeking the south pole, found this island covered with wild cabbage. He eckoked them with "bully beef" from the galley. Carveth Wells, explorer, tells in a lecture. In the line of eating, it's about the best story since chop sdey was exposed, as having originated in San Francisco instead of China. Benefactors of humanity, these inventors of new food preparations. Los Angeles will build a $50,000 dog hotel. Hot dog! Question Raised by Mr. Tom Sims: If all of us got everything we wanted, where on earth would we put it? The poor we have with us always—the rich are often against us. In Our Boarding House Year by year typewriters grow better in every way except their spelling. Quantity production tends to cheapen almost everything including laws. So far we haven't noticed a Presidential boon that says anything more than "Ping." "Empires contain the seed of their own destruction." Huh. You can say that about empires. Taxation may reduce swollen fortunes, but you can't do a darned thing for a swollen head. Thrift is the art that enables a movie star to live up to the salary his press agent gives him. Sophisticated people seldom brag; most of the horn tooting is the green-horn kind. Church would be a lot more popular if there wasn't so much sermon between the musical numbers. Correct this sentence: "The man lay in bed two weeks and did not offer speak crossroads to his wife." We are becoming saner every day, and greatness no longer consists in a signature nobody can read. You can't make a silk purse of a sow's ear, but you can take a fat purse and make an ass of a man. The modern realist is a man who observes a beautiful child and notes only that its nose needs wiping. It is only a question of time until there will be a board or committee or something to elevate censors. An efficient wife is one who can keep both sides of the argument going when her husband retires to the sporting page. Even now that the germ of influenza is isolated, no doubt it will mix in Europe's affairs more or less. Only the rich can go abroad as diplomats. The poor man has very little chance to get a drink these days. An engineer says we are learning more about internal combustion. At any rate we are eating yeast and chasing it with grape juice. "From Ford to Lincoln" refers to cars. "From Lincoln to Ford" refers to Presidential timber. The tone of voice gives the meaning. One of the most dynamic, industrious and interesting women I know in this city of interesting women is Gertrude Robinson Smith. She is so busy that it would rather disgust a person if she didn't manage an air of case and poise that dispells the effect of her filled minutes. One of her interesting but controverticable opinions concerns one of our most modern problems—the woman of independent means who goes into business. Miss Robinson Smith happens to be a woman of means, and because of that she won't go into business, although every atom of her energy turns toward it. "I don't believe women with money have a right at the present time to go into competition with women without money," she declares. "It means unfair competition for the other woman, who already has enough difficulty in competing with men." Personally, I don't agree with her but I do admire the insistence with which she holds to her convention. In the meantime, she keeps regular office hours and works as hard as anyone I know at a non-pecuniary, non-competitive occupation—putting over a club for business and professional women. When I saw Madame Pierre, I vowed that there never was such a crisp, clever, natural pair of actors in the world as Roland Young and Estelle Winwood. Each time I see Leslie Howard, I fall in love all over again. And now they are together, the three of them, in Edgar Solwytn's faree, "Anything Might Happen". I should think it night! It is the story of two couples, temporarily estranged from each other and finding temporary consolation in a criss-cross arrangement. Nothing very startlingly new about that, but the lines are clover and as I said, with those three actors There is no agreement at all on the value of music. Here is Oscar Taylor who sang and played his banjo in a jail cell the other day and was consequently discharged by the judge when he came before him for hearing on a charge of being drunk and disorderly the night before. "You're a fine singer," said the magistrate in suspending sentence. "And a fine banjo player. I heard you up here at the bench. And so I think I'll give you another chance." On the other hand, Jennie Reynolds, aged 14, was expelled from school and then committed in court to the care of the County Department of Child Welfare all because she sang continually in school. Is it discrimination or discrimination in favor of grown-ups against youth? Francisco instead of China. Benefactors of humanity; these inventors of new food preparations. Los Angeles will build a $50,000 dog hotel. Hot dog! Question Raised by Mr. Tom Sims: If all of us got everything we wanted, where on earth would we put it? The poor we have with us always—the rich are often against us. In Our Boarding House Servant (breaking in on a merry party)—Beg paddon, Mr. Smith, but Mr. Brown in the flat upstairs says will you make less noise, so he can't read. Mr. Smith—That's interesting. You tell Mr. Brown I'm sorry he can't read; I could read when I was six years old. No Use Going Mr. Woods—I'm going to the races, my dear, and I think I'll put a five-spot on Lightening Rod at 10 to 1. Mrs. Woods—You're too late. It's half-past one now.
