EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher WELCOME, SAY WE Word comes from the patent office at Washington that an inventive woman has patented "a cow-tail holder." Na raucous guffaws if you please. It is not a laughing matter. If that women has designed something that will circumvent a cow's tail, she has filled a long felt want. And, if your mobile features have ever felt the aromatic swat of a cow's tail, you know what a long-felt want is, believe us. Herefore the tail of a cow has invited language, but not inventive genius. Habitants of farms and dairies all over the country have formed individual debating clubs and asked themselves "Why is a cow's tail?" No satisfying answer has been found. The tail is not a fly swatter for there is too much tail for such a brief fly-time. It isn't necessary, unless to be a necessary evil, and that is a poor excuse, or explanation. The theory that a cow's tail tells the tale of a cow's character, also is dubious. You see, many persons claim, that a long-tailed cow is a heavy milk-producer while the short-tailed animal is not so good. What experts have accomplished by application of this method of judging a cow is not of record, but laymen, attempting to make bovine purchases by this rule have been known to quickly lose interest in cows altogether. One such layman said his investigations had convinced him that Nature had made an egregious blunder when it established its milk source. Milk, at its fountain-head, he said is a very necessary and highly prized liquid food entirely surrounded by a most atrocious unsanitary condition called a cow. So, this inventive woman is on the right track. Milk—cow milk—is at the peak of its production and it is a boon to men and babies. By law and necessity, it should be kept pure and untainted. Hence, the tails of cows—cows with neither pride of person or home—should be kept out of it. Welcome, therefor, to the cow-tail helder, say we.

TO ETIQUETTE Librarians all over the country report that there is a great demand among their patrons for books on etiquette. Especially are those works on table manners popular. Satisfaction of their demands may be fruitful. The hiss of the soup-eater may be silenced, the knife as a pea-carrier, may be discarded, and the spoon as a pie-lifter may become but a sorrowful memory. Even the cup-cuddler may attain a grateful reform—who knows? Progress, dear sirrahs, is a painful porcess, but one can't dodge it. Times honored habits and perogatives, as well as other things, fall before it, and chafing changes come. Etiquette—table etiquette—is an arm of progress, is going to take a lot of piquancy out of life, for neath its influence, there will come a race of eaters who will be seen and not heard. The Democrats in Congress seem inclined to go from Kitchin to Gurrett for house leader. The growing equality of men and women "may reach a point when proposals of marriage may come from women as well as men," declares a Pennsylvania professor of physiology. Next thing the women will be buying the marriage license and tipping the minister. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING WE PASS THE HAT Long Beach Telegram Signal Hill is in Los Angeles county. This bit of information is published in the hope that it will be read by our supervisors. More especially it is printed for the instruction of Long Beach's two representatives on the board—Mr. McClellan of Sawtelle and Mr. Coggswell of El Monte. Yes, Signal Hill is in Los Angeles county, and the great oil industry located there—odd that they never heard anything about it at Sawtelle and El Monte and at the Court House in Los Angeles—their Signal Hill, Los Angeles county oil industry is going to give a rodeo. It is announced that the roundup will equal in thrill anything ever staged at Salinas or Cheyenne. Signal Hill's rodeo will have to be a good one. It is depended upon by the North Side Chamber of Commerce to raise enough money to provide the Signal Hill district with passable roads. Cars and trucks there must wallow thru mud in winter and dust in summer. It is the county's business to build roads outside incorporated cities. But the county does noting for the Signal Hill section, so they are going to give their big show and pass the hat for the road fund. Why not send a couple of complimentary tickets to Sawtelle and to El Monte, addressed to "our" supervisors. And, after the rodeo, give them a ride over Signal Hill roads, prove to them by the map that it is all in Los Angeles county and ask them what they are going to do.

Every year the county tax collectors take more money from us. Yet we must import cowboys and cowgirls to raise money for "county" roads. Nothing like that in Sawtelle and El Monte. There is no doubt at the court house that those centers of population are in Los Angeles county.

We have mon, and difference con's encr NEW YORK, June 20.—There is one father in this city who will never again chide his young daughter for having cosmetics always handy. The wife and mother of the family is a most particular housewife. Even more than she loves her family's peace does she love her brightly polished mahogany-veneered furniture. The other evening while she was out, her husband dropped a picture he was attempting to hang and chipped a piece of veneer from the library table. For the first time he dreaded to have his wife come home. Then the flapper daughter hastened to the rescue. "In a jiffy it will never show," she consoleled him and opened her vanity case. A dark red lipstick was rubbed over it and then a brown eyebrow pencil—and the yellow spot had become a perfect mahogany once more. Furniture polishers tell us that they find the hiding signs of such amatuer efficiency on many pieces when they come to do them over. The Musical Monitor, one of the leading musical publications of the day, is advocating the voluntary payment of royalties by those who are now making use of Richard Wagner's compositions, as tangible expression of a world's debt to a great artist, as well as a much needed source of compensation to his family, who are living in dire poverty. "That Cosima Wagner, widow of the world's most notable composer and daughter of Liszt, should be in such straits is a sad commentary on humanity's payment to those who contribute its realest values," Marie De Voe, an editor of the Musical Monitor, said the other day. "Felix Weingartner and Richard Strauss, have set themselves the task of paying royalty on every performance of any works by Richard Wagner which are presented by them in Vienna. Here in America, where Wagner's admirers are met on every side, surely here it appears anything except American to be second in an endeavor to prevent his widow from the harbor." debt to a great artists, as well as a much needed source of compensation to his family, who are living in dire poverty. "That Cosima Wagner, widow of the world's most notable composer and daughter of Liszt, should be in such strails is a sad commentary on humanity's payment to those who contribute its realest values." Marie De Voe, an editor of the Musical Monitor, said the other day. "Felix Weingartner and Richard Strauss, have set themselves the task of paying royalty on every performance of any works by Richard Wagner which are presented by them in Vienna. Here in America, where Wagner's admirers are met on every side, surely here it appears anything except American to be second in an endeavor to prevent his widow from the harassment of want. All copyright on the works of Richard Wagner have expired, but managers and conductors can join with artists to prevent other artists from humiliation and tribulation. We hope that they will do this through a free-will royalty." It is an excellent plan that the Musical Monitor is urging and one that will undoubtedly be given serious consideration by musicians and producers throughout the country. A prize of $1200 goes pretty far toward reconciling anyone to some misfortune. John Spano, a 16-year old boy who lives at 411 East 114th street, knew his movies all too well to suit the truant officer but quite well enough to win cash approval of a newspaper. He learned so much about motion pictures that when a local paper offered $1200 to the person guessing the names of motion picture stars whose pictures were published in the paper, John won it. It proved unfortunate that he had learned it in days when he was supposed to be in school and it reconciled neither his mother nor the officials. "I can see how you won your prize," said the judge, when John was brought before him for truancy. You will have to go to the New York Parental School until you have time to get over the lure of the movies." But with $1200 in his own name that isn't worrying John. A banner is a necessary adjunct of a strike picket. Without a banner one isn't a picket at all. Such is the conception of the theatrical world, as least, whatever custom may govern in the less temperamental industries. A dispute has arisen between Earl Carroll, productor, and the Actors' Equity Association, wherein Mr. Carroll declares that the Equity has placed pickets outside his theatre to persuade chorus girls and comedians not to continue chorusing for him. "It is not true that we are picketing the Earl Carroll theatre," says the Equity spokesman. "We have representatives outside the theatre, who warn Equity members of the trouble. But they do not carry signs, therefore they are not pickets."

Even if there is an actor's union, they won't strike for shorter lines. A judge says women are better drivers than men. Well, they seldom hit you so hard. Every young man has a chance to amount to something unless he learns to enjoy being petted. One reason why foolish reformers thrive is because too many people tremble instead of laughing. It might be worse. The label and the stamp and the whiskey are faked, but the bottle is real glass. A farm paper says dairying is no longer druggery. Turning a faucet beats working a pump handle. Free speech usually is modified by exact knowledge concerning the side of one's bread that is buttered. Man earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, and his cake by the sweat of the other fellow's brow. It sounds funny to speak of the "late" war. You never call a man the "late Mr. Brown" until he is finished. Correct this sentence: "Don't distress yourself about it at all," said the banker; "we'll be glad to renew it."

The red "Stop" sign on the tail light helps some, but what we really need is something of that kind on the radiator cap. Diamonds are of doubtful value. People don't judge a man by the diamonds he wears. They judge the diamonds by him. One thing the next war won't begin with is the theory that any particular nation has a monopoly of first-class fighting men. This is a gigantic country, and the strawberry season is finished in one section when the other is just beginning to get the rash. BINGHAMPTON, N.
