DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS It is not until after repeated experiences of our own helplessness that we learn to say ourselves on an everlasting Arm—Charles Richard Sumner. Carelessness with fire in forest reserves should be punished. Be sure that the sleeping sickness does not attack your public spirit. To vote in every election is more in the nature of a privilege than a duty. A little carelessness with fire may destroy life and valuable property. Don't! Lead the child to love the beautiful in Nature and this will beautify the nature of the child. Beware any investment offer of a great deal for a little. This is the familiar cloak of the swindle. Why should not legislators transact the public's business with the same care they bestow upon their private business? Keeping premises neat clean and attaching premises neat, clean and attractive exerts a moralizing influence. The humblest householder may excel in this beautifying. Work hard. Rest frequently. Play hard when you rest. This conduces to health, vigor, and contentment, as well as efficiency. Many grumble because they have to pay income tax. And yet many others would be very thankful if they had sufficient income to make them subject to taxation. Some of the noblest landscapes in the world are to be found here in PUBLIC LAND FOR FARMS OR FORESTS reclaim, but plant forest trees—this reclaim, but plant to forest trees—this is the lively question that is agitating Cabinet circles at Washington. Dr. Hubert Work, who has just assumed the position of Secretary of the Interior, is strongly and resolutely for "the successful development of the barren districts of the West until every area shall be under cultivation, producing whatever crops are suitable to their soil." On the other hand, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is strongly in favor of placing the remaining lands of the public domain in the Far West into national forest reservations, for the growing of trees. And thus the two conflicting policies are staunchly advocated. Either of them would be useful. Perhaps the more popular policy in the West is that of Secretary Work—that is, reclaiming of arid lands for agricultural purposes. As Dr. Work forcefully says "America has been made the greatest and wealthiest nation in the world through the development of its natural resources." He speaks of the great work of the pioneers in clearing the Western wilderness, and of the large areas of land which, from lack of water, the pioneers could not reclaim. But now the means of reclamation, by government aid, are at hand. Whether, therefore, these lands be reclaimed for agriculture and horticulture, or whether great areas be dedicated to the planting of forest trees the West will benefit immensely. MISCHIEVOUS REPORTS IN DISFAVOR There is a type of person whose mischievous propensities should be curbed by law—the person who would perpetrate hoaxes, oftentimes cruel and embarrassing to the victims, by procuring the publication of false and groundless reports about other people. Every newspaper has to be on the lookout for this type of mischiefmaker. Fortunately, trained Work hard. Best frequently. Play hard when you rest. This conduces to health, vigor, and contentment, as well as efficiency. Many grumble because they have to pay income tax. And yet many others would be very thankful if they had sufficient income to make them subject to taxation. Home of the noblest landscapes in the world are to be found here in California. Many Californians do not appreciate at full worth the beauties and majesty of this state's scenery. Every man or woman in this land who desires work should have it. Social and economic conditions will not be what they should be until involuntary loneliness is wiped out completely. When the baseball season opens, it will be the "open season" for friend husband to invent excuses for being late to dinner at home. Astute wives usually recognizing a camouflaged baseball excuse. The number of successful women in the learned professions is increasing constantly. In medicine, in the law, in teaching, in journalism and in the ministry women are acquitting themselves brilliantly. Every amendment to the Constitution—the Eighteenth, as well as the Thirteenth—and every statute enacted under the Constitution and its amendments, should be observed with extreme care, because, if for no other reason, of the good influence this example would give the young. MISCHIEVOUS REPORTS IN DISFAVOR There is a type of person whose mischievous propensities should be curbed by law—the person who would perpetrate hoaxes, oftentimes cruel and embarrassing to the victim, by procuring the publication of false and groundless reports about other people. Every newspaper has to be on the lookout for this type of mischiefmaker. Fortunately, trained news-gatherers and news editors detect these hoaxes, in nearly every instance. Newspapers which are non-sensational and which are edited with care soldom are successfully imposed upon this way. But the prevalence of attempts of this feature makes timely the appearance of a measure in the State Senate at Sacramento to make it a misdemeanor for any person or persons deliberately to give a newspaper or other publication false information concerning any other person or persons. A measure of this kind should be enacted. Newspapers should be given this protection, so that they would not have to be so tensely on guard for impositions. It should be said, however, that salom is a responsible newspaper tricked this way and the imposition promptly is exposed and denounced, so soon as its nature is learned. Phenomenal is the march of material progress in California. In construction of housing, in establishment of industries, in development activities along diverse lines, in public improvements and in manifold evidences of public spirit, this state is distinguishing itself.

E. ALLEN California Biological Feature Service Under our exceedingly fortunate conditions of existence few of us have any understanding of the bitter struggle for life which is so prominent in the existence of other living things. But, now and then, some selenist or explorer undertakes a study which brings such struggles partly into view. For the past two months, Professor O. T. Wilson of the University of Cincinnati has been making a series of very interesting studies at the La Jolla Biological Station which give some idea of the difficulties of life amongst microscopic forms in the sea. On each side of the pier he has suspended in the water a series of wooden blocks at a certain distance above the sandy bottom by weights. One set of these he is reserving for final inspection. The other set he examines every day. From a certain side of each block examined he carefully cleans all of the living things at certain intervals and closely examines the collections with microscopes. The other parts of the block he merely examines as well as he can while keeping them out of the water for a few minutes on the pier. When the work was first begun in January there was a period of a few days before he was able to observe anything on any surfaces, although there may have been, even then, many bacteria present which were too small to be seen by ordinary microscopic methods. But, after a few days, some scattering broom shaped colonies of a wedge shaped diatom were found. (Distoms are microscopic plants having glass like coverings made and joined together like lid and body of a pill box.) These rapidly became more numerous only to be crowded out by larger and more numerous thread-like colonies of a still smaller boat shapped substance in which the individual distoms lay like stones in mortar. The threads were long and shaped diatom was able to thrive for a time with its rather loose, bushy colonies. Other kinds were a less successful colony. After two or three weeks, it was found that some spores of sea lettuce, and two kinds of red sea weed, and one or more kinds of brown seaweed had lodged and started the formation of growths of sea weeds. Some plant like animals were also observed and a little later some dicots and other small things were found growing on the bodies of the larger plants and plant like animals. Other kinds of animals also appeared, such as small worms and very young crabs, and their kin. It was also found that some of the fishes lurk about mossy rocks and pilling were feeding on the things attached to the blocks. Apparently they found it more convenient to browse there than off the piling where the dense growth makes it more difficult to avoid sand and shells. Surfaces which were cleaned at short intervals showed the same tendency for the wedge shaped diatom to come first and the boat shaped one with its thread shaped colonies next, but it was necessary to give several days of time for the sea weed to get started and become visible. Day after day and hour after hour new animals of these tiny plants and animals are surging forward to occupy any ground from which their kindred have just been dislodged or which has otherwise become vacant. Hundreds of thousands are striving for foothold on every square inch of surface exposed. Thousands are quickly smothered by thousands having more vigorous growth or they are swept away as food for roving animals. In spite of all odds, some service for a while until torn away by the collector's tools. Here, under the skillful touch of the experimenter, we see for a moment the parting of the curtain that conceals life's mysteries, and we get... America seems willing to try anything once, except its criminals. The thing that charity most frequently begins at home is bragging. Correct this sentence: "Thank you, no; I've quit smoking for all time to come." The remarkable thing is not that so many get out of jail, but that no many stay out. Some girls run about with every Tom, Dick and Harry, and some concentrate on Jack. It's hardly fair to expect your boy to lead his class unless his dad leads in his class. Job kept his patience, but his shoe lace didn't tie in a hard knot when he was changing to catch a train. A village is a place where a woman can celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday only one time. A normal man is one who thinks his wife was gather fortunate to get a husband of his quality. How delightful is spring, with the birds says "Chee-chee" and chickens saying "Ca-choo." It must amuse the heathen to reflect that the thing that endangers our civilization is our civilization. Patience. The time will come when Germany's promises to pay will be of great value to collectors of antiques. A conservative is one who now hotly refuses to travel further than the distance he won when he was a progressive. There is discipline in royal families, and the new grandson of King George won't be called Prince as often as down. Love is the quality that persuades a girl to quit her good job waiting on customers and take a life job waiting on one man. The advantage of living in a great city is that one can hear grand opera, if there are enough music lovers to support it. That professor who says there is little in the situation to inspire hope hasn't been reading the dope from the spring training camps. The preference of French women for American hunbands would seem more complimentary except for the continental myth that all Americans are millionaires. NEW YORK. March 13—Exn down in Wall street—right in the dignified stock exchange itself, woman has become a factor. In fact, so amendable have the rulers there become to her presence and her abilities that the stock exchange governors have selected the slim young manicurist in the exchange barber shop to be manager of the whole shop, including ten barbers. This young woman has had the distinction of holding the hands of almost every member of the exchange and many an important financial secret has she heard. That she never told such confidence was proved when the problem arose of a manager for the shining new shop in the grand new building and one member suggested her. The board gasped at the revolution of it but finally agreed, and the ten barbers accepted the dictum like men. Two pieces of a dining room floor are hung in the exhibition being held by the Society of Independent Artists. There are striking pictures on them, apparently done in some tarry substance. Mrs. Janet Singh, of 62 West Sixty-sixth street, is the artist, and she explains that she saw the pictures develop before her eyes as she gazed at the floor of her dining room. They were actually there, she insists, and the only sense in which they were made by a human being is that she created them by her concentration of thought. Then she cut the floor and took out those sections. One picture is of St. John and the other is an indistinct study of the head of Christ. Mrs. Singh says that she earns her living by painting funny faces on balloons. For these, she uses real paint. Mrs. August Belmont, one of the best loved actresses of a decade or more ago, has come forth as a playwright, according to announcement just made at the headquarters of the American Woman's Association, of which she is a member. Her first play, on which Harriet Ford, the playwright, is collaborating, is a mystery drama, adapted from a story by Burton Stevenson. It has not as yet been named. Winthrop Ames will produce it, which is itself assurance of its quality. Mrs. Belmont, who was Eleanor Robson before her marriage, played the leading woman's parts in "Arizona." "The Gentleman from France," "Merely Mary Ann," "In a Balcony," and "The Dawn of Tomorrow," and was a lovely 'Juliet' to Karyle Bellew's 'Romeo.' During the war she performed notable service as the only woman member of the National War Council of the Red Cross and has continued her active and hardworking interest in the organization since then. Twenty-eight years ago, George W. Jones a Brooklyn street car conductor, disappeared from the sight of his family. The other day, a white haired woman encountered him as he sauntered along a Brooklyn street. "Hello, sister Kate," he said, cheerily and casually. The two took a troley and went to the home of another sister, to have a good visit. George had considerable ability to tell them of his activities over the country in the past 28 years. After awhile he rose, "Well," he said, still casually. "I must be getting along. It's been good to see you. So long, folks, see you later." Then he sauntered off and the sisters have heard nothing more, and think they may not for another 25 eyers, when George will be 87 and maybe ready to settle down at home.

Straus, President American Society for Thrift. Keep down the overhead! This is one of the watchwores of any successfully conducted business, and it should apply with equal force to the individual. Too many persons plunge into individual expenses that are not warranted by their incomes. Too much rent, too much for clothes, too much for luxuries and non-essentials, too much for amusements and too much of the thousand and one little items of expense that are so easily incurred in this complex modern life of ours. This is how overhead runs away with sound practice in personal affairs. A mistake often is made in considering individual incomes as profits. As a matter of fact, our only individual profits are what we save. Therefore, if we would increase the profits and get ahead more rapidly we must reduce our expenses. Of course, we should always strive to increase our income at the same time but we should not depend on the latter as the only means of increasing our savings. If you were to ask any good business man today what the overhead of his business amounts to he could tell you instantly. Yet how few individuals could without considerable figuring tell the amount of their personal overhead! There is a growing tendency toward humanizing business. There should be a corresponding tendency toward more businesslike methods in individual practice. More of the home in business and more of business in the home. This might to good advantage be made universal motto. If you hope to get on in the world, and secure the independence and comfort that comes with the accumulation of material possessions.
