What the immediate end will be neither he nor anyone else knows—Christian Union. Child labor is a high crime against God and humanity. The teacher's work is of superlative importance. Tell her that you appreciate what she is doing, and that you sympathize with her in working out her problems. If it develops King Tut-Ankh-Amen was the guy who invented Egyptian cigarettes, we suggest they burn the mummy. Albanians' vocabulary contains many Greek Latin, Italian, Slavic and Turkish words, but the grammar is their own. In rejecting the Lausanne treaty, the Turks have planted th seeds of potential warfare. To preserve peace in the Near East calls for a miracle. Congress may provide for submitting a constitutional amendment to change the date of Presidential inauguration to January. But Congress cannot guarantee Washington weather to be agreeable at that time. There are a great many places on earth which have a much better climate than Washington. Think and consider what you would do if you were in a building where many were assembled and the sudden cry of "fire." should be sounded. Form a definite, coherent notion of what you would and should do. This might save your life in a menacing fire crisis, some time. One of the biggest things in conPRESIDENT COMING TO CALIFORNIA President Harding is coming to the Pacific Coast in the late spring or early summer. He is 'to make his long-deferred visit to Alaska. On the way, he will "swing around the circle" and make a number of addresses. This will be Mr. Harding's first visit to the west since he came into the presidency. His coming will be hailed with pleasure. He personally is quite popular throughout the country. His amiability and sinvity are proverbial. He will be given an ovation wherever he appears in this state and throughout the Pacific West. The administration of President Harding has been and is being severely criticised. But, on the other hand, it has been and is being defended stoutly by great numbers of his countrymen. It is but fair to Mr. Harding to say and to feel that he is making his record; that it is in process and is not complete. The impartial historian will fix his rating, and will make allowances for the demoralized times in which Mr. Harding came to the Presidency. But Californians will welcome the chief magistrate right hospitably, regardless of his politics. He will be received and greeted as president of all the people. DRIVE AGAINST CRIME The determined drive against crime, originated in Los Angeles, should not be permitted to languish, as too many good causes do. This suppression of outbreaking criminality throughout the state is of utmost importance. There must be remedial legislation to make this antitrime drive effective. The legislature should be urged to busy itself with this highly important problem. No petty consideration should stand in the way of accomplishing that which should be done. PRESS GREAT CENTER WASHINGTON WEATHER TO BE AGREABLE AT THAT TIME. There are a great many places on earth which have a much better climate than Washington.

Form a definite, coherent notion of what you would and should do. This might save your life in a menacing fire crisis, some time. One of the biggest things in connection with the motion-picture industry is the room for improvement of quality of pictures. The industry, it sometimes seems, is running around in circles, following the same stereotyped methods and using the same old conventional plots in the monotonously same old way. What is needed is diversity and originality of conception, in scenarios, and in production. There should be some established ways and means of bringing nations to account for misdoing, just as there is for disciplining the individual who transgresses law and violates the rights of others. There should be a great international tribunal—a Supreme Court of the World—to adjudicate differences and controversies among nations and to hold in check any nation or people disposed of by mischievous and trouble-making with other nations and peoples. There should be a legal disciplining of nations, as there is of individuals. The slanderous lie, sooner or later, should stand in the way of someone is slandered is vindicated, in time. It may be a long time, but as mere as fate, the truth will come out. Human nature is such that those who have thought wrongfully of a person are reluctant usually to change their attitude. But truth eventually triumphs. DRIVE AGAINST CRIME The determined drive against crime, originated in Los Angeles, should not be permitted to languish, as too many good causes do. This suppression of outbreak criminality throughout the state is of utmost importance. There must be remedial legislation to make this anticrime drive effective. The legislature should be urged to busy itself with this highly important problem. No petty consideration should stand in the way of accomplishing that which should be done to make this commonwealth an exceedingly uncomfortable ballwick for the desperate criminal. The city of Los Angeles is planning to re-enforce its police department by addition of 500 men, and to better the quality of its patrolmen by increasing salaries. This is wise. SAVING OF TIME FOR THE MAIL CARRIER Placing a mail receptable in front of your house, or having a slot put in, may seem a trivial matter to you. But because patrons of the postal service attend to this little detail, the United States government is enabled to effect total savings of more than $5,000,000 annually. This convenience of receptacles cuts down the time of carriers in delivering mail, and means literally a saving of money to the government. While patrons are required, by the government, to provide these places of deposit for the mail, yet no complaint of consequence has come. The people, on the whole, acquiesce cheerfully and graciously in the plan. There should be, at all times, the spirit of helpful co-operation on the part of the people toward the postal authorities in promoting the expansion and betterment of mail service, and in conserving the comfort of the carriers and clerks engaged in postal work.

Allen California Biological Feature service According to Professor Carlos Cuesta Terron of the National Museum of Mexico, who is making some studies at the La Jolla Biological Station, the Indian Naem for a "horned tad" is Tatyatzin which means "weeping blood." Professor Terron says that he has given a good deal of attention to the discharge of blood from the eye in case of the two species of "horned toads" common near the city of Mexico. He has measured the distances to which the blood is thrown (often three or four feet) and has also tried to determine the conditions under which the discharge occurs. His conclusion is that it typically occurs if the animal is angered or irritated on very hot days. Most of those which he tried on such days shot blood but very few did so at other times. Although many persons in the United States have written about this peculiarity of the "horned toad" in our country, none have observed it nearly so often as is mentioned by Professor Terron. Indeed, one of the foremost authorities on reptiles, Dr. Ditmars, says in his Reptile Book that he had examined several hundred specimens before he saw one (a Mexican species) shoot blood. This, however, was an excellent and convincing performer. The tiny stream of blood (about the size of a hair) from the corner of the eye hit a wall about four feet away and 103 tiny droplets were then seen on the well and floor. In the ninth volume of the University of California Publications in Zoology, Dr. Harold C. Bryant has given the most extended discussion of this habit of "horned toads" which I have seen. He, however, mentions distances of only eight to fifteen inches in the California forms. He found a few which performed the act and amongst those were two STANDARDIZING EDUCATION (San Francisco Chronicle) It was more than a coincidence that the president of Cornell University and the retiring president of the University of California on the same day and to different audiences warned our people to avoid the curse of standardized education. Dr. Parrand of Cornell, speaking in a Stanford environment, seemed to have specially in mind elementary schools. Dr. Barrows, speaking in Oakland, was referring especially to Mills College, whose faculty and trustees desire to increase its endowment and broaden its usefulness. Dr. Parrand held that the character of elementary education should depend on local conditions and needs. Dr. Barrows held that there was place in the educational world for colleges exclusively for women and also those exclusively for men. And this, as stated, was more than a coincidence. It was evidence of the trend of thought among the more responsible and experienced of our important educational men. Whatever is very big must be necessity be standardized, for it must have unity of direction and human limitations prevent any possibility of central direction being otherwise than uniform. In any large city, for example, educational needs in different parts of the city greatly vary and yet no superintendent can do otherwise than prescribe a uniform course for all. It would not be possible to give principals more discretion and hold them responsible. But then the product would not be exactly alike, as all quantity production presupposes. The results of standardizing the educational output of an entire state of necessity are and must be PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Labor-saving devices have enabled us to do almost everything easier except rest. There's one nice thing about peace. Nobody feels an urge to write a book about it. This era may mark the end of in human warfare. But we'd feel easier if we know which end. Europe wouldn't need to place burdens on our shoulders if she'd take the ship off her own. It is easy to teach a small son not to lie if you are careful not to let him catch you in yours. How in the world did each of us describe the rest of us before that word "monon" became popular? You can find true Americanism out in the districts where men unbutton their vests after the third helping. Lots of people think ambition consists in selecting a soft spot and sitting down to wish for fame. "How shall we increase church attendance?" asks a clergyman. Well, we might make it a misdemeanor. Correct this sentence: "Forgive me for mentioning it," said the banker, "but your account is overdrawn." So far, only 26,869 Russian princesses have been discovered performing mental tasks to get a living. This is the last day to play safe and lessen that exemption you claimed under the head of bencvolences. Perhaps Mr. Bryan is right. Scientists keep on fluding ancient human skulls, but they have yet to find a petrified tail. Central American republics agree to limit their armies. No doubt each of them will eliminate the private. Congressmen are not unique. Noah and his folks were the only dry at one time, and he got soaked at the first chance. Million-year-old skull found in Patagonia is petrified and solid. How little man has changed in all these years! In the ninth volume of the University of California Publications in Zoology, Dr. Harold C. Bryant has given the most extended discussion of this habit of "horned toads" which I have seen. He, however, mentions distances of only eight to fifteen inches in the California forms. He found a few which performed the act and amongst those were two which were freshly awakened from their night stupor. Quite probably those occurring in the United States perform somewhat differently and less readily from those found in Mexico. Apparently all observers agree that it is the irritation of capturing or handling that causes the shooting of blood, but they do not agree on explanations as to why, except that it is due to increase of blood pressure in the head. All descriptions of the process are essentially similar. Dr. Bryant's account is typical. He says that the first sign that the action is about to occur is a swelling of the eyelids to two or three times their natural size. While swelling the eyes remain closed and the animal is quiet. Then a line jet of blood shoots from beneath the upper eyelid, usually spreading into a fine spray. Dr. Bryant's specimens would only shoot once at any occasion but he mentions another writer who found a specimen which repathed the act several times. In an effort to learn whether there was a mechanism in the eye for throwing blood Dr. Bryant cut miscropic sections of specimens and also examined carefully by dissecting but he could find nothing except that the lid was rather spongy in structure and capable of holding a good deal of blood. The best opinion seems to be that when the animal gets much excited the increase of blood pressure causes a small blood vessel to break in the thin coating of the inner surface of the eyelid. In a short time after the blood is ejected the eyelids gradually return to usual size. The few drops of blood which sometimes remain on the lids after the rupture gave the Indians the idea of tears of blood and led them to call the animal Tatayatzin. The more subtle the lure the more wicked its aim. $100 Reward A philosopher says trials are no more numerous than consolations. It is getting so they are no more numerous than acquittals.
