THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester, Editor & Pub. SARAH BERNHARDT'S LIFE REMARKABLE The world has had but one Sarah Bernhardt. There have been brilliant theatrical stars. But none, perhaps, to shine so brilliantly for the whole world over a period so long as Mme. Bernhardt has been upon the stage. Sarah Bernhardt has won and has retained her fame through sheer merit. She has trodden no royal path to destinction. There has been no magic in her career, except the magic power of her magnetic personality and her abounding talent. She has been seen and heard here in California in comparatively recent years. She was wonderful, despite her years and her physical handicap. The accident which caused the loss of her leg occurred here in California. The renowned actress greatly loved California. Her appearances here were triumphal. She was always greeted with big and appreciative houses. Her acting at all times bore the markings of genius. Nothing she did was medicore. In voice as well as in gesture she was the marvelous portrayer of emotions. EASTER WORSHIP IN THE SUPREME OUTDOORS Southern California has evolved a beautiful custom—the holding of sunrise Easter services in the open, on picturesque eminences. It began on Mt. Rubidoux, at Riverside. That became prominent quickly. Then the plan spread until this and other communities arrange these impressive programs of worship each succeeding year. They are largely attended and, for the most part the observance which are treated with the most reverence should attend rites so beautifully sacred. This section is particularly well adapted to services of this nature, because of its many picturesque locations, most of which the readily PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) And those who live by the sword shall perish while trying to collect the indemnity. A hick town is a place where there isn't much of anything to do between lodge nights. Digging for mummies must be a delightful profession. You don't have to begin at the bottom. Getting up in the world is just a delightful business of getting up a little later in the morning. It may have been a divinity that shaped our ends in the old days, but now it's vanity and shoe styles. Country folk visit you if you have a case of sickness; but city folk wait until you have a case of hootch. We are a generous and unselfish people, but we always enjoy watching the other fellow's property burn. That auto tourist who used his jack to fell a policeman found later that the judge wouldn't fall for jack. A critic asks how long chorus girls remain young. Perhaps age doesn't tell on them as it does on the short ones. A partisan says Germany is revealing unsuspected will power, also, for that matter, unsuspected won't power. The wicked provide their own punishment, and no doubt the bootleger longs in vain for something fit to drink. It isn't probable, however, that sunrise Easter services in the open, on picturesque eminences. It began on Mt. Rubidoux, at Riverside. That became prominent quickly. Then the plan spread until this and other communities arrange these impressive programs of worship each succeeding year. They are largely attented and, for the most part the observance which are treated with the most reverence should attend rites so beautifully sacred. This section is particularly well adapted to services of this nature, because of its many picturesque locations, most of which the readily accessible afoot or by auto or incline railways. The weather, too, is usually is of the most delightful here at Eastertide. This year the outdoor services will be many, and tens of thousands will be drawn thereto. It took less time to carve the ten commandments in stone than it would take a man nowadays to recite them. The greatest commercial development of the next fifty years will be on the Pacific ocean. The evolution of trade in this quarter of the world promises to be the most remarkable in the history of commercial growth, anywhere, at any time. Farm labor will be scarce this year, it is indicated. The factory is wooing the farm help, and is winning great numbers of farm boys. This is an economic condition which hardly admits of regulation by law —except the law of supply and demand and the law of comparative wages and hours of labor. Peace to the steel bones of the galaint old battleship Iowa! The histicic craft was fated not to go down in the thick of battle. But the Iowa served well, even in the vicarious ending to which it came. Naval experts doubtless have gleaned valuable lessons from the bombarding and sinking of the former flagship. It is in little things that character is tested. They who do not stand the test of little things are lazing in character. One small rodent may make an opening through which a destructive flood may eat its way, break the levee, and carry ruin before it. One little weakness of character may create hayoc in much the same way; in one's life. You can't tell by the sweetness of a woman's smile how badly her pet corn is hurting. No doubt that laundry worker who went mad and ran amuck had tried long and vainly to put a saw edge on a soft collar. The reason cars have warning horns is because you can't always have your wife along to squeal at the psychological moment. The reason bachelors live longer is because no gentle tyrant requires them to take something when they feel a little out of sorts. Still, if South America remains peaceful, what will become of that famous line: "The Marines landed, and have the situation in hand?" Correct this sentence: "I don't care what people say." cried Daughter; "I know Papa can't afford it, and I'm not going to have a spring suit." Insurance Service Your every insurance want cared for J.

But isn't it a fact that you take it more or less for granted during the rest of the year? Something you can get if the weather should turn warmer over night—but nothing to worry about. That's the average attitude. And we don't want you to worry about it; our year-round service is organized for that very purpose. We do, however, want to see the people of this city give ice the thought it is entitled to. We want your family to realize that it is absolutely a year round necessity, a statement your physician will vouch for. Start taking ice every day—get this most protective of all food habits.

Manager EDITORIAL APHS (illustrated) Abe Mailin NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, March 29.—The prominent Vaudeville pair, Gallagher and Shean, who have lately gone to court to prove themselves ham actors to avoid the claim of certain theatrical contracts in which they were involved, are reaping the harvest. But not quite as one of them would have it. A fat motion picture contract was made with them, as they are now celebritick, when a long came Mrs. Gallagher, who had previously accepted a separation from Mr. Gallagher for a six thousand dollar consideration, and collums she didn't know how good her husband was and how much he could make, and now wants a proportionate allowance. All of which proves the old adage, that you can't have your publicity, and dodge it. Dancing in the afternoon is not an uncommon sight at the better tea places where the lounge lizards, flappers, and grand mothers with paid dancing partners abound. Few go in for it during the noon hour, however. That social diversification has been worked out down on Fourteenth Street in an unspected class. A Chinese restaurant has set up a jazz orchestra for its garment making patrons, and the girls step during their lunch time. The surprise is that they dance with one another, and that the men sit by and watch. And well they may. New and marvelous gritations may be picked up first hand to dazzle the more important Tammany balls in the evening. The girls go about it quite seriously, and seem to enjoy it as much as when they perform with their "men". The New York Legislature has a hair splitting question before it. Is around the life of Botticelli, the Italian painter, and is entitled "Sandrine Botticelli." The action had to do with his famous painting, The Birth of Venus. Two artists in the case are Eva LaGallienne, daughter of Richard LaGallienne and lately seen in "Lillium," and Basil Sydney, who is remembered for his characterizations in "He Who Gets Slapped" and "R. U. R." Oh yes—incoldently, he is the husband of Doris Keane. If you do not think the New Yorker can be taken in, harken to this. A young couple I know has serious contemplated marriage for two years. They were both students and new carrying anything they could put aside. They decided to rent an apartment, furnish it, and sub-lett it at profit. The rent was seventy-five dollars per month, and they added the furniture, which they picked up from their respective homes, and charged one hundred and fifty per month. The tenant has paid this rental for two years. The other day, he grew tired of paying out no much money, and asked to buy the furniture. The couple sold it to him for eight hundred dollars. I wonder if it occurred to him that he had paid nine hundred dollars rental for what he could have bought for eight. KING TUT EXPLORER IN CRITICAL SHAPE CAIRO, Egypt, March 39.—The condition of Lord Carparvon, British explorer, is critical. He is suffering from acute poisoning caused by an insect at Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb. The infection began in the face, but has extended to the lungs. TOWN IN REVIEW The average man expects his wife to have more sense than she showed by marrying him. Three Detroit men were poisoned by eating hot dogs. Maybe the hot dogs went mad.

WISE AND WITTY "I-don't careness" finds its jolt in the tussle. Home developed policies are better than those picked up at random. As man transmits his thoughts through his deeds so his deeds will show his thoughts. The medium of poverty is a converter of darkness to light. American railroads are carrying more freight than ever before. This is an index to the unmistakable prosperity that abounds throughout the country. The New York Legislature has a hair splitting question before it. Is a bobber a barber? When Milday goes to her hairdresser for a shampoo, massage, bob, wave, or violet ray treatment, is she being barbered in the manly sense? It all came up over the efforts of the union barbers to enact a bill requiring all people who have anything to do with the treatment of hair to be classified as barbers, and conform accordingly to licence and regulation. New hair dressers regard their business as a "profession" and claim it is an different from barbering as white is from black. They have no reference to the fact that many black people follow the barbering permission. The various negro ladies who make a business of taking the kink out of kinky hair would be the first to reent the implication that they were in a class with their barber gentlemen friends. It is the creativehirte artists who are wreathful. "Should a profession whose art gave the greatest pictorial distinction to Marie Antoinette and consequent fame to her country be reduced to the once around and once over' class, in the parlance of barber shops. Imagine Charles Nestle, the ruler of the waves, through his invention, being called a barber." So go their lamentations, but what does a mere male legislator know about such things? The Provincetown Theatre down on MacDougal Street, where so many interesting and different theatrical experiments have been made, is to house a promising production by the Players Company.

Staff Correspondent ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Mar, 30. The agricultural south, hard hit by the boll weevil and the nation wide wave of depression, is in the midst of a rapid comeback.

Man Thaddeus Barrow, one of the victims in the bunkhouse fire in Riverside yesterday morning, was the father of Vinton Barraw, Maple st. of Santa Ana. The latter Mr. Barrow is well known in Anaboim where the family resided two years ago. They are now located in Santa Ana. Mr. Barrow being in charge of the SOUTH RECOVERS FROM DEPRESSION BY GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Mar. 30. The agricultural south, hard hit by the boil weevil and the nation wide wave of depression, is in the midst of a rapid comeback, President Harding was informed today by Fred Starek, director of the war finance corporation, who has partially completed a southern inspection trip. "I have found," said Starek, "that agricultural conditions are rapidly improving in the south. I believe if the ravages of the boll weevil are not widespread the south will not make many applications for loans from the war finance corporation next year." Conditions in both the cotton and cattle industries have made rapid improvement in the last few months, Starek told the President. Nearly 60 percent of the $90,000,000 lent in southern states has been repaid recently. Applications for loans are becoming fewer. With the end of the presidential vacation in sight, Mr. Harding is already beginning to slack down in his "play" and devote some time to consideration of official matters. He is continuing conferences with Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, but no decision has been reached as to the disposition of the merchant fleet. The Harding party will leave St. Augustine tomorrow night, starting northward by easy stairs. Easter Sunday will be spent in Augusts, where President and Mrs. Harding will attend service.
