THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher Lotus H. L. Louden, Adv. Mgr. DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS There are purposes which God Himself can not fulfill on earth except through you, and every sin of yours is a barrier set in God's way. When a man says that to himself he has a motive worth having—Francis G. Peabody. Oh, Art, what futurist, outrages are committed in thy name! Ohio's cares, as the mother of the Presidents, sit lightly upon her. The greatest among men are the simplest and the least ostentatious. To shirk responsibility is a depleable species of moral cowardice. Politics should not become a superfunty in the affairs of the Nation. The theatrical world has had but one Sara Bernhardt, and not soon will it have another. Europe needs sagacious, benevolent, peace promoting leadership in its political affairs. California climate is so excellent that the best which may be said of it seldom is overdrawn. Simplified spelling is a boon to the poor speller. But the naturally is not craving it. It is surely hard for the potentials to try to hold their ground in these days of economic revival. It is hoped that the Pan-American Conference in session in the capital of Chili, will pan out well. Many of foreign born persons becomes a better American than many who were born in this country. The world has no economic illness that hard work, common sense and SOUTHWEST IS GROWING This virile Southwest is growing steadily in population. All reports indicate this. The most superficial observation shows it. There is not a city in Southern California or in Arizona that is not going forward gratefully. Another gratifying fact in connection with this growth is the quality of people who are coming to this section. They are responsible, forward-going people, for the most part. This section draws comparatively few shiftless neer-do-wells. Its newcomers, for the most part, are rugged, progressive, enterprising folk. Their coming adds to the progressional forces to the community. There is developing here a thoroly representative American community. It draws unto itself influential persons from older communities in other states. The welding together of the influx of homemakers with those already here is an exceedingly simple process. They are thoroughgoing Americans. Many of them were neighbors and friends "backyonder." They are just reuniting here. Newcomers soon feel at home. And those who have been here longer soon feel that the newcomers are integral parts of community life. There is no awkward period of waiting to "get acquainted." For a great many years Washington correspondents, hard put to it on dull days, would resurrect agitation in behalf of a change in the constitutional date for inaugurating Presidents and for inducing newly-elected members of Congress. To those who followed closely the course of Washington correspondence, these agitations signified little. But now there is a movement that has really significance—a movement to change the inaugural date and the time of induction of Congress to January, from March. The proposed change is sensible and it is to be hoped that the projected constitutional amendment may go before the states and be ratified. "Economy" should be underscored It is surely hard for the possinists to try to hold their ground in these days of economic revival. It is hoped that the Pan-American Conference in session in the capital of Chili, will pan out well. Many of foreign born persons becomes a better American than many who were born in this country. The world has no economic illness that hard work, common sense and peaceful motives will not heal. There is nothing in Holy Writ or elsewhere to indicate that "the Lord loveth a cheerful giver"—of pain. The way to retrench is to conserve income and reduce outgo. The process is too simple to impress a good many legislators. The clean newspaper is the most facile, complete and acceptable source of information on current history that is accessible to the masses of the people. Marvelous things are being accomplished in speed in the air. The time is near at hand when oceans will be crossed in a few hours in safety, and when crossing the continent will be achieved between suns. "Economy" should be underscored in the legislator's lexicon. Business and industrial conditions are so good they are very disconcerting to the possimists. Good citizenship does not consist so much in the abundance of one's professions or the excellence of the theories as in the quality of one's deeds. The American people do not forget to play. Frequent periods of recreation are as safety valves, that prevent a frightful number of break-downs of nervous systems. Mr. Harding has not categorically said so, but his political friends are giving the public to understand that he will be averse to accepting the second cup in Presidential politics.

Dyke-Keen GOOD YEAR EDITORIAL Abe Mailin PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Early to bed and early to rise is a motto now used only by flies. The odd part is that Adam named spring season instead of a yawn. The nearest some wives ever come to loafing is while filling a bobbin. The annoying thing about the man who knows it all is his persistence in telling it. Esperanto can't hope to become as universally respected as the language money talks. Home is the place where the appearance of the table cloth tells where the children sit. "That girl'll need a kitchen cabinet before she's married a month," said Em Moots 1'day, when she heard Mrs. Art Bentley hadn't missed a dance this week. It must make its old-time cobbler sigh when he sees th' modern shoe repalrer rollin' along in his limousine. The glass of fashion now is the one that separates the driver from the occupants of the tonneau. Compression causes heat in some instances, but the hot heads usually are the empty ones. Isn't it about time for the last surviving member of Jeff Davis' body guard to die again? Our old fashioned opinion is that the proper carriage for a woman to affect is a baby carriage. Even in these dry times it is easy to get soaked after the oil stock salesman learns your address. Another nice thing about women in business is that men are not so prone to put off shaving until tomorrow. Thrift is, after all, a manner of looking at things—a point of view, as it were; but since it is also an economic virtue, it merits attention and cultivation. Thrift is the narrow mesh of safety and efficiency which lies between the extremes of parsimony on the one hand and extravagance on the other, not one of which qualities is a virtue. Among the qualities which make for material well-being, thrift is a superior endowment or attainment as a policy for the guidance of either individual or nation. Thrift is that quality which impels one to an active, conscious management of one's affairs in a manner which conserves and makes the most of opportunities and means at hand. The thrifty man is keen, alive; he knows his business, and is always on the job looking after his affairs; he stretches his dollars to their utmost, making them command their absolute maximum. He must A couple that shouldn't be divorced is strawberries and cream. Pasadena has 7000 widows! Go east, young men; go east. The boat without a rudder and the man without an aim are at the mercy of the tempest. A perfect poise of a man does not necessarily convey a peaceful attitude. Just reward often comes in the for mof punishment. Laughter is the crematory for worries. A spend:arift's wealth is akin to race horse. Six St. Louis landits worked two minutes and made $15,000. They sell them stunning gowns on account of the prices. Many a pair of cast-off shoes have carried a man up the ladder. Punishment is often just reward. Responsibility rests not on the shoulders but in the spirit. Even in these dry times it is easy to get soaked after the oil stock salesman learns your address. Another nice thing about women in business is that men are not so prone to put off shaving until tomorrow. That Missouri man who came home drunk and found new twins doubtles had the cheerful conviction that he was seeing double. It isn't a fair system that requires the dry agent to break seventeen laws to get the bootleger for the breaking of one. A cynic is one who remembers the promise that the future state of blessedness isn't to be a state of matrimony. Two Missouri men courting the same girl hoped the best man would win. The one who was groom later confessed that the best man had. If people were a little less honest, collection agencies would starve. If they were a little more honest, there would be no agencies. Correct this sentence: "Don't mind fixing any supper," said the husband: "I'll just eat the lettuce sandwiches you had left from the club meeting." PUT SOLID THINKING INTO POLITICS One of the acute needs of the United States today—the thinker in politics; not alone the thinking leader in politics, but the thinking rank and file—the thinking masses. Republican government is safe in the hands of calm, conscientious, thinking millions. This is a period which particularly invites the people to think deeply and to decide wisely in political affairs. The great war left many problems for this nation, both domestic and foreign. Upon these problems and issues the masses of the people should become thoroughly enlightened. From intelligent conception should come conscientious convictions. And these conscientious convictions, transmitted into action, should mark a wise and proper course for the nation.

It's a fool law, Mexican newspaper claims Edison is a descendant of King Ixtlixochitl. Tom could sue for slander. None of these European statesmen clamoring for another war were shot at in the last war. Hooch Melle, German prohibitionist, in one week gets $80,000 signatures to a petition asking local option on liquor in Germany. The petition, presented to the Reichstag, makes a sensation.

Deep One Babe Ruth's spring suit may cost him $50,000. How to Learn to Fight Go around saying what you please where you please. War Problems Commotion in Turkey, where they have a new law making marriage compulsory for men. It's a fool law, and will not help its purpose—replenishing the Turkish death losses in war. War is a biological condition. And nature, by biology, will replace the war losses. Two more generations, and you'll never know there had been a war in Europe, when you look over the official nose-count. The tendency of people, on the average, is to multiply up to the limit of the earth's ability to support them. Sometimes, as in Asia, beyond that. One thing that sounds worse than a phonograph run down is a pedestrian who is almost run down. "Hot Lips" should inspire some song writer to write one called "I've Got Warm Jaws," dedicated to the chewing gum trust. "Being in the movies," says Tom Sims, "is about like being in the world; some make a dollar a day, and some make a thousand." Five Is Enough San Francisco woman says her husband spanked her six times in one day. Experts say this is once too often. Melle, German prohibitionist, in one week gets 480,000 signatures to a petition asking local option on liquor in Germany. The petition, presented to the Reichstag, makes a sensation. It's a straw showing how a world wind is blowing. One thing always considered good taste is strawberry shortcake. They say elephants can smell extra good, but we never saw one that did. Fish Bait Spring fishmen, here's a tip: Fish have a well developed sense of smell, says a writer in Aquatic Life. Maybe they're smelling when they nose the bait. Settlers in central Ontario, Canada, say they have to stand behind a stump to bait their hooks when they sprinkle a few drops of oil of rhodium on a can of worms. Olidway Indians, by the Cree Indians, beetle trout bait is a live insect ed under the spine and cloven to swim freely. An experimental farm for growing rubber plants may be established on city pueblo lands, which will interest auto-mobile owners as well as small boys with bean shooters. Tom Sims Says: Many a man gives a woman his car seat to keep her off his corn. This might be disastrous BUT not if the table and floors are finished with Pitcairn Waterspar. Waterspar is waterproof. It does not turn white like ordinary varnish. Even scalding liquids won't ruin its fine, deep lustre. Ask us to show you the Waterspar aquarium test.
