THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER In Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Our short-sighted eyes cannot see dangers; or, seeing them, are appalled. There is no safe way through the wilderness of this world, but as one crosses a foaming torrent—fix your eyes upon God and on the other side.—Anna Warner. There is no justification for violating law. Teach the child to abhor crime and vice. It is wise and economical to buy at home. Worry is in league with Death. The two take fearful toll. The moderate course usually is the wise and better course. The dietitians heartily and enthusiastically agree—to disagree. People will continue to come to California, good times or dull times. Cheer up, Europe! American tourists will pay off your debts by and by. It is not less majeste to say that President Harding is not the best golf player in the word! The people expect for their money the very best in everything pertaining to education and processes of teaching. Crime should be fought to the last ditch, with every force and every resource of good citizenship arrayed against it. In studying the budget, the legislature should remember the taxpayer who must bear the financial heat and burden of the day. EARLIEST INHABITANTS OF AMERICA That a Mongoloid race existed in North America in the fargone primitive periods is indicated by the latest archaeological finds in excavations in the valley or Mexico. This continent, according to the discoveries made, may have had a civilization antedating that in the Nile Valley, in Africa. Scientists long have held that the progenitors of the inhabitants of this western world must have come from Asia or Europe, or North Africa. There are Mongoloid traces in Mexico which seem to be unmistakable. The civilization of the Incas, in Peru, and of the now extinct tribes in Mexico, and the Cliff Dwellers in portions of the American Southwest; was far advanced, archeoogists find. There must have been a great advancement on this continent, and then retrogression into savagery, or else some tribes must have been highly civilized while others were savagery, or else some tribes must have been highly civilized while others were savage. As science persists in going back to first causes, it probably will be possible to reconstruct with definiteness and precision, the whole early history of this continent, from the coming of its first human beings. It will be an absorbing story. CENTENARY OF "HOME" John Howard Payne long has been dead, as to his physical being. But the soul of him goes marching on. Soon the world will observe the one hundredth anniversary of the first singing of "Home, Sweet Home," in Convent Garden, London. In the century since its tender, appealing sentiment first burst into pallintively sweet melody, this song has been inspired and solemce to numberless millions. Not to be familiar with "Home, Sweet Home" is to acknowledge oneself densely ignorant and lacking in that which is essentials of re-entry into this world.

In studying the budget, the legislature should remember the taxpayer who must bear the financial heat and burden of the day. By next August a great many persons in this zone will be cavying the man who is putting off for a flight to the North Pole. The time is coming when polar trips by air will be common. Some persons are inconsiderate as to the time of a busy person. One can be very annoying and impose hardship by persistently interrupting a business or professional man during busy hours. The alien who does not like the American government or institutions should stay away from this country. There is no call for foreigners to come here to overthrow the government or the institutions of this land. Waterloo was won on the cricket fields of Eton, historians say. Possibly a peaceful Waterloo in his struggle with congress may be won by President Harding on the golf grounds of Florida. The president is rejuvenating himself against the arduous duties of his great office. He is renewing energy which may carry him to triumph in his espousal of shipping and other legislation which the Sixty-eighth congress assembles.

GEORGE DUNTON FORD LINCOLN FORDSON SALES AND SERVICE 222 No. Los Angeles St. Anaheim ALER Sunday Editor EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) COMMENTS OF THE PRESS YOUNG PEOPLE INDOLENT Fil River (Mass.) News The gospel of work is being neglected today. Mother and father are working about as hard as ever, but the young people are leafing as never before. Put them to work! The mother who allows her daughter to dawdle her time away, to think of nothing but dress and fashion, to play the piano and use the family automobile when she should be washing dishes and helping to make the beds and performing other useful tasks about the house, is neglecting her duty. The girl who grows to womanhood without a knowledge of household management is not a credit to her mother. Her mother has been remiss. The father who allows his son to grow up a loafer is not a good citizen. He should take enough interest in his family to see that work. Not dainty jobs alone, but good old fashioned jobs like cleaning out the cellar, handling the ashes and bringing up the coal. It won't hurt him. He can wear gloves if he is afraid of ruining his banjo hands. He can wear a skull cap so as not to ruffle his patent leather hair. And the work will build up his physique just as efficiently as the gym and the baseball diamond. Put them to work! And working will fit them for life. Many of the young folk growing up today have never looked a job of real work in the eyes. They look upon work as something to dread, something to look forward to with fear and trembling, something to be avoided and skulked as long as possible. Put them to work now! A potent means of disseminating good will and mutual understanding among nations and peoples is to exchange educators and lecturers. This United States does with several foreign countries. Furthermore, eminent Americans go abroad on their own initiative and give lectures and addresses. And prominent and influential foreigners come to these shores to add their eloquence to the cause of international comity. From Britain will come to America this year a bevy of eminent orators and literary men. Lord Robert Cecil and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are sailing for America. Later will come Ramsay MacDonald, leader of the labor party in the house of commons; Joseph Conrad, the novelist; and possibly David Lloyd George. The latter would be welcomed with extreme interest in this country. He has millions of admirers on this side of the Atlantic. Interchange of ideas and ideals between nations and peoples leads to better understanding, more intelligent comprehension of each other's attitudes and problems, and a closer bond of mutual confidence and sympathy. In the lives of all, the darkest hours of experience usually precede the dawn of better things. It is the height of folly ever to despair, in this life. There is always hope there is always something for which to live. There are always fountains of happiness to be found. The accuracy and dependability of newspapers of responsible type is phenomenal, all things considered. Newspapers are produced under double-quick urge. News is gathered with great speed and celerity. Some mistakes are inevitable. But the number of serious errors in the news is comparatively small. A good start has been made toward reducing the number of government employees and attaches at Washington. This is a retrenchment reform that should be pressed with vigor and fearlessness. Taxpayers should not be burdened with an extravagant government payroll. Public spirit is very much in evidence in Southern California. Every city, town and rural community is imbued with it. The fruits of this broad, enterprising, progressive attitude are wholesome indeed, bringing prosperity to every class. Where there is no much advancement, times are good. President Harding knows how to rest and to throw off care, like Colonel Roosevelt before him. One with this happy faculty soon can recoup from the weariness of much hard labor. It is carrying one's burdens and worries into the vacation which darkens life and puts real rest afar off. That European scientist who is here to study native fauna should spend at least one night in a small-town hotel. A hick town is a place where a man with fifty thousand dollars thinks people should treat him with proper respect. If she wears a seven and requires a D last, about the only thing the poor salesman can do is brag about her instep. There are few miracles now, except in the case of the rich prisoner who has an incurable disease and gets a pardon. And now Wm. H. Anderson is in trouble. "If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the wicked and ungodly appear?" Now that the income tax blanks are filled out, it is estimated that 32,654 bookkeepers will ask for a raise, and get it. Success is just a matter of having a wife who will brag on you enough to make you enjoy keeping your nose on the grindstone. A cook says the addition of a little lemon will improve coffee. If it's boarding house coffee, the addition of a little coffee will improve it. Can it be that wearing these round-eyed, scholarly spectacles we've all taken to lately is in itself a crime? One of the leading and most conservative New York papers the other day printed this: "Mrs. Sprague was the only one arrested. Mrs. Sprague wore tortoise shell spectacles." During the voyage of the Cedric, which has just landed here after a stormy voyage a girl was born to Mrs. Anthony Gallagher, one of the passengers. Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher decided to name her Cedricar, after the steamer; and the child will probably spend most of her life being thankful that her parents weren't on board the Leviathan, instead. It will cost half a million dollars for the electricity used in lighting New York City's subway and elevated trains and stations for this coming year, according to the lighting engineers. These states are grouped curiously on the map. Oregon is alone on the Pacific Coast, almost alone of the Far Western states. Montana and North Dakota in the North, are white, and Kansas and Oklahoma make another white patch down in the middle. Then comes a wedge-shaped block comprising Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. In the East New York is white, joined by Massachusetts and Connecticut. Otherwise the whole Atlantic Coast is back, together with Pennsylvania. There are differences among these states in degree, as shown by other charts. Some of them by minimum age or educational requirements get around some of the difficulties. Federal amendment seems an easy way. But it may not be necessary. What seventeen states can do in the way of enlightened legislation for the protection of their children, the other thirty-one can do. It is a matter of education in the dangers of unrestricted child labor, dangers both to the children themselves and to the communities in which they are allowed to be deprived of their birthright. Vote in every election, if possible to do so. Habitual voting is indicative of good citizenship. Sleep is one of the most soothing and refreshing of blessings. Even a few minutes of it, when one is exhausted, will work wonders in reviving one's strength. President Harding knows how to rest and to throw off care, like Colonel Roosevelt before him. One with this happy faculty soon can recoup from the weariness of much hard labor. It is carrying one's burdens and worries into the vacation which darkens life and puts real rest afar off.

Striebel RECREATION PHILOSOPHY POPULAR FICTION SHORT AND PITHY More than a year's supply of perfume from Arabia was used at the funeral of Poppaea, Nero's wife. It was against the law in ancient China to evaporate salt water to make dry salt. Annual consumption of coal in this country is about six tons for every man (woman and child. Greece's cultivated land totals over 5,500,000 acres with 5,000,000 more in pasture. One banquet given by President Loubet of France to the Czar and Czarina of Russia, cost $30,000 for 500 covers. Guncotton was first produced by Schoenbein of Basle, Switzerland, in 1845. SHORT AND PITHY More than a year's supply of perfume from Arabia was used at the funeral of Poppaea, Nero's wife.

A small automobile driven by a storage battery has been perfected in Germany. Vanillin may be detected when one part is mixed with 10,000,000 parts of air. Dionysius calculated in 285 B.C. the solar year to be 365 days, five hours and 49 minutes. With most modern machinery it would take 25 years to sink a shaft 10 miles deep. A box car is 200,000,000 times bigger than a pinhead, says one statistician. Litchi trees, which bear delicious sugary fruit, will not grow in cool climates. Use of the wheel as a means of reducing friction has been used from pre-historic times. Atlantic cable weighs 3500 pounds a mile in the air and 1,400 pounds under water.

Guncotton was first produced by Schoenbein of Basle, Switzerland, in 1845. Many of London's famous stage-coaches are being converted into auto busses. Ice cream may be shipped in a new-style container without being packed in ice and salt. WISE AND WITTY To take less than you give is the prime requisite of big-heartedness. The biggest hazard in a man's life is waste of time. Many great ideas are born, some are executed, but only a few survive. Many a man has lost his head by having his vanity catered to. A friendly debate with an argument between judges. Those who depend on luck judge fate. What Becomes of Your Money Each Pay Day? You Say: 'I can't save on my salary' You Say: 'I can't save on my salary' Are You Sure? You may honestly believe your salary won't stretch another point, but suppose for instance, your rent was raised $10.00 a month. You would find a way to pay it. What if your salary was reduced $10.00 a month. You would find away to make ends meet. These things have happened, so it won't take much imagination on your part to make believe your rent has been raised, starting the first of the month. Then pay that $11.00 into a Savings Account and in twelve months you have $120.00 plus 4 per cent interest. AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK First National Bank Building Anaheim California
