EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher Daily Greetings To Our Readers It needs not that you should enter some awful shrine, or put off your shoes on some holy ground. Could a memento be reared on every spot from which an acceptable prayer had passed away, and on which a prompt answer has come down, we should find Jehovah-Shamah, "the Lord hath been here," inscribed on many a cottage hearth and many a dungeon floor.—Dr. James H. Hamilton. DEATHS BY ACCIDENT APPALLINGLY MANY In the midst of profound peace, the United States is losing as many lives annually by accident as would be lost in a series of great battles. The number of persons killed accidentally in one year almost equals the total number of American troops killed in action or dying of wounds, in the world war. The National Safety Congress has compiled figures showing that, during the year 1922, 5,300 persons were killed accidentally. The number of deaths in traffic reached the dreadful total of 14,000. It is interesting to note that Los Angeles has the highest rate of accidental deaths among American cities. While there has been a gradual decline in the number of accidental deaths throughout the country, due to "Safety First" campaigns and resultant precautions, yet in no year in the last decade has the number of accidental deaths in the United States come under 70,000. This means that, in ten years more than 700,000 persons have perished from accidents. The daily average of accidental deaths is 206. Many of these fatalities, as every observant person knows, were and are preventable. As population increases; as cities become more congested; as automobiles and other vehicles multiply, the hazards become greater. The precautions against serious accidents should become correspondingly greater.

Praise is given the newspaper press by a prominent member of the National Safety Congress, for "significant service in keeping causes and results of public accidents continually before the public." Science is achieving wonderful triumphs. Its works are cumulative. The more it accomplishes, the more it can accomplish. TRANSCONTINENTAL AIR MAIL BY NIGHT The immediate fate of day and night aerial mail service lies with Congress. It cannot be established without appropriation from the capitol. Recent tests show that this service is practicable. It would be in line with the swift progress of this age to put as much speed as possible in the mail-carrying service. It is an era of swiftness in all processes of life. The mails, if transported expeditiously, lend aid to business and commercial celerity. It would be a wonderful thing to have regular mail service from coast to coast with schedule time of less than 30 hours. A few years ago such an achievement would have been regarded as chimerical and impossible of achievement. But the recent tests demonstrated that it can be done. They are coming, by hundreds and thousands, to California. Among these throngs of visitors are many who want to live permanently in this state. Many will come with one-way tickets. Fully as important as building good roads, in California, is the maintenance of the roads, once they are built. Against disintegration and other forms of decadence effectual efforts should be made.

THEY HAVE WORKED HARD, THESE MEN, AND DESERVE THEIR TIME OF REST, BUT THEY FAILED TO PROVIDE FOR IT.

In announcing that the German government was abandoning the policy of passive resistance in the Ruhr valley Chancellor Stresemann pointed out that the move was necessary to the restoration of economic normalcy in the Ruhr and Rhineland. This means to all Germany, as the Ruhr is Germany's industrial heart. The photos above, taken in recent months, show conditions in Germany, which prompted the government's capitulation. PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN The diplomats are with us yet. Lord God of hosts be with us yet. It's a stable government if it can stir up enough patriotism to hide the deficit. Indications are that Mussolini's sword isn't the only thing in Europe that is rattled. The only 'ism that appears to thrill and content a cake-eating nigbrow is an aphorism. When the modern youth attains its majority he is too prone to consider his old dad a minority. You can get a government bulletin on the eradication of almost all nuisances except fool laws. A political wizard is a man who can take a popular grievance and turn it into a meal ticket. Son must finish college, however, and sweat a bit, before he learns much about the origin of specie. It may be that a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love in the spring because roses are cheaper then. The present status of the mark keeps reminding us of that old expression, "typical German thoroughness." ABE MARTIN If his hat wuz th' only thing a cannydate has t' toss in th' ring he'd be gittin' off easy, but very often his home an 'ever'thing else follors along. President Coolidge would make a dandy feller t' git on a sleeper at midnight. The somewhat peppery retired army officer was playing his dogged best for the club's Summer Medal, but at one hole he was kept waiting for a few minutes by a woman who sauntered carelessly down the fairway, crooning to her baby. "Come away, madam," cried the NEW YORK LETTER LUCY JEANNE PRICE New York has just experienced probably the most amazing event of her life. For twenty-four hours, here in this city, we knew nothing whatever of what was going on in the world, beyond the sight of our own eyes. No morning newspaper at our door in the morning, no evening paper there at the end of day! Not until along toward theatre time, when the dailies all got out a little eight-page "Combination Newspaper of New York," did we know whether earthquakes and revolutions were breaking out afresh across the ocean or what had happened at the ball park. If we ever again are heard to complain about "no news in the paper today," let some one remind us of the day that the pressmen struck. Here's a triumph of real womanhood! Mrs. Katherine Voysky was admitted to the United States in spite of the fact that the quota of her country, Egypt, was filled, because she is a champion pie baker. Her cousin is proprietor of a bakery in Phoenix, Ariz., and somehow she persuaded the authorities that pies such as hers put one in the arts or professions class. Arthur Hopkins has been strangely silent as to his plans for play production. The first one is out at last. It was originally... A political wizard is a man who can take a popular grievance and turn it into a meal ticket. Son must finish college, however, and sweat a bit, before he learns much about the origin of specie. It may be that a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love in the spring because roses are cheaper then. The present status of the mark keeps reminding us of that old expression, "typical German thoroughness." Anybody can write a naughty book, but not everybody can have the good fortune to have it denounced by the uplifters. How did men reconcile themselves to voting for a two-by-four in the old days before party loyalty was invented? The advantage in a closed car is that it gives you all the airlight protection of home when you go out for fresh air. It takes courage to pull up and leave your home town unless you have recently served as judge of a baby show. And so apples will enable you to reduce. A little apple juice, after Nature has taken its course, will bring you down, also. China never will succeed as a republic until she has a government that people can blame for everything without laughing. If he dodges jitneys, he is a pedestrian; if he dodges taxes, he is a financier; if he dodges responsibility, he is a statesman. A brave father is one who can read aloud to the family and not crawfish when he comes to President Wojciech Jewski, of Poland. Correct this sentence: "Try this, sir," urged the clerk; "it will cure a cold in twenty-four hours." In a case of pneumonia, with no treatment at all, if you'll raise all the windows the fever will fall. The somewhat peppery retired army officer was playing his dogged best for the club's Summer Medal, but at one hole he was kept waiting for a few minutes by a woman who sauntered carelessly down the fairway, crooning to her baby. "Come away, madam," cried the major testily. "Hurry up with that baby of yours." The indignant mother turned and gave the player a look of scorn. "Baby yourself," she snapped, "playing with that little ball, and in those ridiculous short trousers, too."—Sporting and Dramatic News (London). There would be few divorces, however, if chivalry would begin where charity does. Arthur Hopkins has been strangely silent as to his plans for play production. The first one is out at last. It was originally called "Heavenly and Earthly Love," but that must have been too near Arnold Bennet's title, and it has been changed to "Launzi." It is to feature Pauline Lord, fresh from her triumph in England under Mr. Hopkin's management. The adapton of the play has been made by Edna St. Vicent Millay, who lately appeared to desert us in her marriage to Eugene Boisevain. This is her first full length work for the theatre.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT ADAM Old Adam was a lucky guy, although he didn't think it; Whatever stuff he had on hand, he was allowed to drink it, And Mother Eve could never say: "Well, s'pose you saw that blonde today!" He didn't have to hear discourses on the radio, Or folks who read the titles in the motion picture show. Yeah, Adam was a lucky cuas Compared with the poor likes of us. He didn't stay out late so didn't need dope an excuse; There wasn't any place to go, so what would be the use? Those days you didn't have to strain Yourself to think how to explain. The income tax meant nothing in the lives of him and Eve. And when the landlord came around he'd just laugh up his sleeve. He fixed his furnace, waxed his floors, So had no rows with janitors. If he and Eve should quarrel in a slight domestic scrap He easily could heave the kitchen tinwear at her map. Because she never could withdraw By saying: "I'll go back to Maw." He never fought a street car crowd or had a copper curse him; He never had a tradesman ask when he would reimburse him. Life sure was soft in ages dim; By gosh, I wish that I'd been him! One of the chief mysteries of modern civilization is where a head waiter thinks he's going when he escorts you all the way around a deserted hotel dining-room and finally lands you at a table at the furthest end. Dear Boy—This is to inform you that I have made a thorough inspection of the illustrations advertising the new fall hats for gentlemen, and I have come to the conclusion that the artists who drew them their pictures believe eyebrows and ears were created first cousins to the hat-rack.—J. J. We are a trusting sort of cuss in human nature, but somehow we are always suspicious of the bird who wants to match for the luncheon check and then borrows from us the coin to match with.

"British Cabinet at Sea," proclaims a headline. Seems as if we had enough trouble on our hands without joining their rum fleet, too. Overheard at "The Good Old Days": "Well, after all, there was nothin' like 'Auld Lang Syne.'" "Who's he—some Chinese general?" Some people think it's a sin to take their own lives, but others get jobs in rodeo shown.
