EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher Building of Homes Is Phenomenal An outstanding phenomena of the times is the construction of homes on a scale never before known in this country or any other country. California is the storm-center—so to speak—of this whirlwind era of home-building. Southern California has been and is the white spot on the building map of the Nation. New homes are being constructed in bewildering numbers and with speed almost magic. There is no over-building. These dwellings do not lie idle and vacant. They are taken quickly and ever the demand for more is insistent. California's population is growing steadily. It is especially gratifying to know that such great numbers of families in California are becoming owners of homes. This is a tendency that should be encouraged. It would be an excellent distinction for California to lead all the states in the number of home-owners—a great community of home-owners be-tokens a contented community. And with so many homes owned by the occupants, there is sure to be a stabilizing of economic conditions and a greater and more consistent prevalence of prosperity. Little do the 20,000,000 and more boys and girls in this land realize how vital it is to educate themselves and to prepare for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. They do, however, respond to the urging of their elders in the main, and are making the best of their school opportunities.

PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN The easiest time to spoil a husband is when he is about 18 mos. old. Avarice is just the conviction that thrift is an end instead of a means. Few people really believe in prayer while they are getting along nicely without it. It wouldn't be so very difficult to abolish war if we could abolish proximity. Times are about normal again. Few shoppers now ask to see something more expensive. The happiest people is one that has fewest occasions to get excited about patriotism. Only God and a hotel porter know the full extent of man's wickedness. You can't really blame a jury for disagreeing. The witnesses set the example. The trouble seems to be that too many modern couples who think they are mates are merely stale-mates. It is easy to pick out the dull pupils in school. Their parents think the teacher prejudiced and inefficient. Birth control advocates find a great encouragement in the size of the modern breakfast room. Remorse is the sad reflection that the money spent for the summer vacation would buy the winter cool. ABE MARTIN SPECIAL NOTICE WE WILL NOT IN A FULL LINE OF DRUGS TO MORROW! LITTLE GEM RESTAURANT Folks that travel on their looks allus walk back. "We can't laugh in our sleeves this summer, an' it's hard t' keep th' boys at arm's length," said Miss Tawney Apple, this mornin', as she wuz simoniz-in' her elbows. It was the drawing lesson, and a class of youngsters were drawing from memory, recites Judge. They had been told to draw a river, with two figures sitting on the bank, one of whom was fishing. The teacher was going round the class when she came to a boy who had finished his drawing. She looked at his paper and was surprised to find only a river. "Why, Jack," she said. "Where are the two people I told you to" NEW YORK LETTER The daughter of a colored door man at one of the big hotels here consents to do laundry now and then for one of my best friends. This friend is continually astounded by the remarkable necklaces which the young lady wears. Each one is not only varied in color and size of the beads, but in quality. She has seen the most perfect crystals combined with odd shaped bits of amythest, amber, jade, and the commonest of glass. When she asked her to explain the variety, the daughter reported that they came from her father, who picked them up each night in front of the hotel. The strands of beads frequently break just as the passenger gets out of the car, and in the hurry of traffic, it is impossible for many of them to be recovered no matter how valuable they are. As the doorman stands at the curb he can look down in the gutter and find the odd ones which escape the eyes of the loser. It is a poor night when he doesn't bring home enough for a bracelet at least, according to the much decorated laundress. "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," what could be more appropriate for Mrs. Fiske? This superb American citizen and actress has been contrary all her life; that is contrary when it came to heeding every one of the stage conventions thought essential for success, and in her own beautiful life, following a way contrary to what the world believes appropriate to a great artist. Imagine David Belasco taking a play of St. John Ervine and producing it in his yet untouched skill with an actress whose very twinkle amount to The trouble seems to be that too many modern couples who think they are mates are merely stale-mates. It is easy to pick out the dull pupils in school. Their parents think the teacher prejudiced and inefficient. Birth control advocates find a great encouragement in the size of the modern breakfast room. Remorse is the sad reflection that the money spent for the summer vacation would buy the winter coal. If the League handles only those questions referred to it by the strong nations, it won't die of overwork. The only ugly part of reconstruc tion visible to Americans is bobbed hair on the way back to normal. The man who misses a university training frequently feels resentment enough to spur him on to success without it. A country is civilized when it hasn't anything on hand more adventrous and exciting than auction bridge. Correct this sentence: "I have no use for him personally," said the man "but I am glad to see him prospering." One reason why providence afflicts "heathen" more than Christians is because they happen to inhabit the earthquake belt. If the papers have discussed a murder case, and a prospective juryman hasn't formed an opinion has he sense enough to form one? If a wife thinks her husband a hairpin, where does she get the notion that his stenographer thinks him worth flirting with? It will be impossible to abolish the 12-hour day, however, before using it as a club to effect a change in the immigration laws. Man is funny. When he scorns the teachings of religion, he inevitably reaches the point where he whines that religion is a failure. It was the drawing lesson, and a class of youngsters were drawing from memory, recites Judge. They had been told to draw a river, with two figures sitting on the bank, one of whom was fishing. The teacher was going round the class when she came to a boy who had finished his drawing. She looked at his paper and was surprised to find only a river. "Why, Jack," she said. "Where are the two people I told you to draw?" "Well, you see, Miss Jones," he answered. "I'm not very good at drawing people, so I've put up a notice: 'Trespassers will be prosecuted.'"

This superb American citizen and actress has been contrary all her life; that is contrary when it came to heeding every one of the stage conventions thought essential for success, and in her own beautiful life, following a way contrary to what the world believes appropriate to a great artist. Imagine David Belasco taking a play of St. John Ervine and producing it in his yet untouched skill with an actress whose very twinkle amount to superb artistry. This is the same St. John Ervine who gave us the poignant "Jane Clegg," and yet he has provided an excuse for Mrs. Fiske to rollick through various episodes designed to set off her best intrepretation of the sky humor of life. She will out on the road with it soon, I imagine, if she has her way, because she has told me that she loves the hardships of touring because there is ample reward in the balm of appreciation which the whole country has learned to lavish upon her. From the top of a Fifth Ave. bus, at no less a corner than Forty-second street, a line of fluttering clothes may be seen on Monday. How is that for breaking convention in plain sight of the world's great fashion parade? For the lady whose abode is tucked in there some place. I'll wager it amounts to doing only what is expected of one at the time it is necessary to do it. I'd like to know that salwart soul! The weather is no respector of building complexions, as evidenced particularly in our brazen library all streaked and sallow. It has wrought its saddest devastation on the face of the lady of the Maine monument at Columbus Circle. With the deliveration of a sculptor, the rain has blackened the south side of her face, leaving the other even more white in comparison. As she gazes out into Columbus Circle upon one of the greatest traffic spots in the world she would seem to be advertising one of those beauty creams, showing one side of t he face treated and the other left stranded to its blemish.

DINNER STORIES After carefully effecting an entrance into the bank, the burglar found his way to the streng room. When the light from his lantern fell on the floor, he saw the sign: "Save your dynamite. The safe is not locked. Turn the knob and open." For a moment, he ruminated. "Anyhow, there's no harm in trying it, if it really is open." He grasped the knob and turned it. Instantly the office was flooded with light, an alarm bell rang loudly, an electric shock rendered him helpless, while a panel in the wall opened, and out rushed a bulldog which seized him. An hour later, says Judge, when the cell door closed on him he sighed: "I know what's wrong with me, I'm too trusting. I have too much faith in human nature." POEMS THAT LIVE THE OLD STOIC Riches I hold in light esteem, And Love I laugh to scorn; And lust of fame was but a dream, That cannished with the morn; And if I pray, the only prayer That moves my lips for me Is, "Leave the heart that now I bear, And give me liberty!" Yes, as my swift days near their goal, Tis all that I implore; In life and death a chainless soul With courage to endure. —Emily Bronte.
