DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS O rest, so true, so sweet! (Would it were shared by all the weary world!) 'Neath shadowing banner of His love unfurled, We bend to kiss the Master's pierced feet, Then lean our love upon His boundless breast, And know God's rest. —Sunday Magazine. Wall street is funny when it takes itself seriously. The worst that any man should do, in public service, is to do his best. The worst place—the most hopeless place—an Indian could be, is on the warpath. Eight members of President Harding's Cabinet began their respective careers with no money in pocket or in bank. Which shows that men can get on in the world without buying their way. It would be an acquisition indeed if California should get both of the great national political conventions next year. Even though only one of them should come, it would be a big stroke for California. The world's economic situation is improving, despite the turbulence in Europe. Thanks to modern facilities and swift means of production, transportation and distribution, recovery from economic depression is more rapid than in former times. Ways and means of keeping well informed on current events are within the reach of all. A clean, well-edited newspaper, is in effect, a text-book or current history. They who read newspapers of this type studi- SOVIET GOVERNMENT IS UNCOGNIZED The United States Government is not ready to recognize the soviet government in Russia. Secretary of State Hughes makes clear that the government at Washington holds that the government at Moscow has not complied with certain fundamental conditions of political intercourse among nations. That there has been distinct advance in economic stability of Russia is admitted. But Secretary Hughes pertinently asks: "What would avail mere stability if it were stability in the prosecution of a policy of repudiation and confiscation?" The administration at Washington questions yet the good faith of Russia in the discharge of international obligations. Mr. Hughes lays the blame upon the soviet government itself, in not making conditions such that the United States could and would extend recognition. By insisting upon high standards as conditions precedent to recognition by the United States, of governments and political regimes in other lands, this country has been and is a powerul influence for good. Attitude of this Nation toward succeeding regimes in Mexico during the last ten years has had tendency, on the whole, to discourage needless revolutions and chaos, ruinous civil wars down there. INDIAN MISTREATED SAYS GENERAL SCOTT There is an angle to the Indian troubles in Utah which is not touched upon in reports from that region. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, who has been a prominent figure in the settlement of many disputes with Indians, says that he could go to Utah and settle the present trouble without any bloodshed. "It is just the same kind of trouble that I fixed up before," said Gen. Scott; "the whole trouble is that the white man is encroaching on the Indian's territory. PARA The chief treasurer seems to be a bachelor. Gas at a doll up a lot of dollars. The weaker dead statesmen port of it. An enemy is... The world's economic situation is improving, despite the turbulence in Europe. Thanks to modern facilities and swift means of production, transportation and distribution, recovery from economic depression is more rapid than in former times. Ways and means of keeping well informed on current events are within the reach of all. A clean, well-edited newspaper, is in effect, a textbook or current history. They who read newspapers of this type studiously and regularly, keep abreast the epochal events of the times. Should James M. Cox oppose Mr. Harding next year—should they two be the opposing Presidential nominees—would not Ohio be serenely confident and self-satisfied? That indeed would be a surety for another President from the Buckeye State. The spirit of the American people is such as to give militarism its quietus. This Nation never would countenance a needlessly large standing army. Nor would the American people tolerate aggressive attitude toward any other nation or people. The normal and unswerving attitude of the United States is for peace with all nations and good will toward all countries and peoples. Well-defined preparations are planned as Washington for relief of the unemployed, should a slack period come and should many men be thrown out of work. The national government, by this plan, would institute extensive public works and thus create a demand for labor. States, counties and municipalities would be urgently prompted to do the same thing. Plans of this nature, carried to fruition, should take much of the sting out of periods of economic depression.

Figueroa St. LOS ANGELES MOVING SHIPPING PACKING STORING SINCE 1895 BEKINS EDITORIAL TOWN IN REVIEW The Piute Indians have gone on the warpath in Utah. Maybe somebody in camp hurled "vice" charges. The anticipated relief of tomorrow lies in today's endeavor. A 17-year-old boy in Norfolk, Va., was sentenced to serve 53 years in the penitentiary. Good opportunity for him to learn a trade. Piggly Wiggly's name, it seems, was prophetic of its stock. Habitual complaint merits little attention. The walls that hold sorrow will hold joy as well. The Mean High Tide I am the spirit Of the mean high tide; Awfully high. Slap! Slap! Slap! I don't know that There's any poetry In the mean High tide—but Some of this stuff called Poetry Is trash, and one of The things brought In by the mean high Tide Is trash. So Slap! Slap! Slap! I am the sperrit Of th' Mean high tide. Wheat farmers are very unreasonable in their demands for money. NEW YORK, Mar. 27—In the book, "Main Street", Sinclair Lewis made every reader look afar to find a place to criticize, and made every one of them overlook his own home town. We are more guilty than most in that respect. We speak of the Main Street of the West and the middle West, as if it were not touched by that condition of mind and living. I am always impressed with it, when I am on Broadway in the region of the Metropolitan Opera House. If there ever was a street that architecturally and in a business and social way fitted into the scheme of things along Main street, as portrayed in the novel, it is that portion of Broadway and likewise of Seventh Avenue, lying between Thirty-sixth and Porty-first streets. The "Opry" House overlooks a lumber yard, surrounded by a board fence. Peering from its windows one can see a patient being gassed in a dentist's chair. It makes one wonder why this district is celebrated in song and story, and pictured as a magnet which draws the provincial youth to it. Architecturally, it is an eyesore, with all the earmarks of a small city which has stopped growing. Every kind of cheap amusement place, shop, store and restaurant abounds, and the jays on foot are from right here instead of the provinces. A fire insurance official is the authority for the statement that women smokers are far more tidy and careful than men. They keep an ash tray handy, while a man will put his cigarette on the edge of his desk. Many fires are caused by a man throwing down a lighted match. A woman never does this, he says. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The chief trouble with this peace seems to be a lack of continuity. Gas at a dollar a gallon will loosen up a lot of squeaky hip joints. The weaker the cause, the more dead statesmen are quoted in support of it. An enemy is just a decent chap who sees the thing from another point of view. Another sign of spring is that the janitor is beginning to let the furnace roar. If you have an accident policy and get hurt, that isn't an accident. It's a miracle. Still, the chap who scolds his daughters for using rouge will wrap a twenty about a roll of one-dollar bills. Progress is just a slow business of tailing in line with the schemes of minorities. It may take nine tailors to make a man, but it doesn't take nine retailers to break him. A normal wife is one who thinks her husband is working too hard and not getting enough for it. It may be that men's minds are not so clean as woman's because they don't change them so frequently. Men take away the bee's hoarded wealth, also; but they don't make him file a return for it. You can say one thing for our foreign policy. Age cannot wither nor custom stale its infinite variety. That European chitic who says America has no leisure class should watch our office holders. You can't tell by looking at a woman's spring suit how much her husband still owes for her winter sealskin. Some people impress you as being very important, and some never seem to acquire the knack of being insulting. Correct this sentence: "No I've had that cough ever since I had the flu, and I'm sure cigarettes haven't anything to do with it."

The drab toll of the mechanical workman has been made the subject of more than one drama and novel. It feels to Elmer L. Rice with his few plays, to give a relentless picture of that situation in "The Adding Machine". now on the boards of the Theater Guild. In theme, production, and general treatment, the production is of the same character as the Guild's very interesting offering, "R. U. R." There are contrasts which are interesting. It must be said that in R. U. R. the application is more universal, but the achievement is not as poignant as in "The Adding Machine". The settings and production are even more advanced than in previous efforts of the Guild. We shall never want for the last word in stage method so long as we have this daring group. The author has combined fancy with sordid realism in a way that is not only amusing but highly stimulating. A cast of par excellence greets the Guilders: Dudley Diggs, Helen Westley, Margaret Wycherly, Louis Calvert, and many others of rising distinction. A crowd gathered on the street here means nothing. With all our business and push we are the most indolent people in the world when it comes to concerning ourselves with other folk's business. Anyone can get a crowd any time by stopping for a minute in the mad rush and appear to be interested in something that the other fellow has not seen. I noticed a particularly large and interesting group gathered around one of the subway gratings recently and saw that the center of attraction was a small boy down on his knees peering through the iron slats. I pushed in and saw that he had a string which he kept lowering and raising through the grating. Each time when he drew it up with nothing attached to the end, a look of perplexity and fixed determination wreathed his dirty little face. I got in closer and looked down to see what the object of his work was. A shining quarter lay below. He had contrived to tie a spark plug on the string for a sinker, and had a dab of exile grease for bait. Sometimes the quarter could not resist and he would get it up within reach but down it would go. He sent for more axle grease while I was there, but when I left he was still angling. Some of this stuff called Poetry Is trash, and one of The things brought In by the mean high Tide Is trash. So Slap! Slap! I am the sperrit Of th' Mean high tide. Wheat farmers are very unreasonable in their demands for money. Can't they understand that the wheat gamblers need it? And very likely some archaeologist in 4923 will dig up a Washington's bootlegger's list and think it a copy of "Who's Who. Daily cares are the sweetbreads at night. Every man develops physically while his mental growth may lag. Correct this sentence: "Td like to run in and get my marbles," said the small boy, 'but I might track mud on the floor.'
