PLAN PIONEER FLIGHTS TO CENTRAL AMERICA Much important pioneering and trail-blazing in the air is being done by the United States army air service. The latest important feat for which plans have been laid, is a discovery aerial tour from the Panama Canal zone to Guatemala City, and return. This would mean an air trip across all Central America, and would cover territory which has not been traversed aerially. This trial flight is expected to demonstrate the practicability of carrying mail, express matter and passengers between the capital cities of all the republics of Central America. Another sequential step would be to establish air service from New Orleans and Gulf ports across the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean to Central America. This would save three or four days in the transmission of mail and would be of great value to commerce. These "first trips" by air into regions never before touched by airship are of greater moment than is generally realized. For, once a long trip is demonstrated to be practicable, then comes the development of plans for establishing regular service. Army flyers demonstrated the practicability of continuous flight across the continent from ocean to ocean. Then came the testing of mail planes, showing that mail can be carried successfully in continuous flying between the two oceans. Soon this service will be established. And so the grand march of aeronautic progress proceeds. The eclipse of the sun gave rise to much jesting and to no end of facetious remarks. But when one thinks more deeply of it, one is impressed with the solemnity of it all—with the wonders of creation and the power and wisdom of the Almighty. development of plans for establishing regular service.

LLOYD GEORGE AIDS WORLD PEACE That the coming to America of David Lloyd George is destined to be extremely useful and beneficial to the world, there is very good reason to believe. Mr. Lloyd George has stressed the gospel of world peace. He has spoken strongly for moderation in dealing with German reparations. He has urged the United States to use its good offices to bring Europe out of its economic chaos. And his influence in these things is bearing fruit. President Coolidge, in a tribute to Mr. Lloyd George, says that he is certain "that his visit to America has been a piece of good fortune for both his country and our own, and for the cause of international accord." The tribute is deserved. It is not far-fetched. Mr. Lloyd George has stirred this country, and he has stirred Europe. Observance of law should be the fixed purpose and settled practice of every good citizen. Observance of the law cannot be neglected or flouted with safety to the country. Outdoor exercise for health—there is no substitute "just as good." There is no region on earth better adapted to outdoor exercise, the year around, than California. Political campaigning next year, it is to be hoped, will be placed on a plane of reason and thoughtfulness. The country is ripe for calm, more dispassionate discussion and decision of political issues. Bounties prosperity now prevails throughout the country. Prosperity for the seater are bright indeed. Once Europe settles its critical questions, there will be even greater thriving in this country. There is efficacy in the promotion of California in general and the home locality in particular, by California citizens. The spoken or written word, in praise of this state, sinks deeply if spoken or written by a trusted relative or friend who resides in this state.

GERMANY FRANEE PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN It is only when laws lose their teeth that things get gummed up. The "one big union" idea is pretty good, however, when applied to states. Growing old is just a sad business of losing the capacity to get excited. Europe might manage to carry her own burdens if her shoulder wasn't occupied by a chip. An "infernal young idiot" is an individual who enjoys the things you no longer can enjoy. There is always hope for a town while it nurses the conviction that it needs another hotel. A "den" is a room where the little table shows marks of masculine heels. The chap who wins Mr. Bok's peace prize won't see much peace after his relatives find it out. Civilization seems to be a matter of multiplying the number of things a young girl ought to know. The trouble seems to be that courts sit only at intervals, while people raise the devil all the time.

Hines, head of the veterans' bureau, that he found much useless duplication of work and waste in expenditures in the bureau under the regime of Col. Charles R. Forbes, turned one of the early sensations in the probe of the bureau by the special senate committee, now on. Hines, named to succeed Colo. nel Forbes by President Harding, was born in Salt Lake City in 1879. He went to the agricultural college of Utah and was an honor graduate of the artillery school in 1904. In 1914 he was graduated in the advanced course of the const artillery school. His army career has been long and active. He served in 22 engagements in the Philippines and was recommended for the D. S. M., "for bravery in action against the Spaniards." While with the const artillery corps in 1908 he specialized in artillery engineering and fortifications. He was in southern Europe when the United States entered the war, and was assigned as chief of staff of the embarkation service. He was appointed chief of embarkation in 1918 and the following year was made chief of transportation service, U. S. army. With Secretary of War Baker he represented the United States at the allied maritime transport council in London in 1918, and again in England and also in France the next year he helped adjust matters of transport with the allied nations.

If he promises to control some delegates in 1924, he would make a good ambassador to some foreign country. You may not value your neck, but at least have some regard for the car. Some poor family would be glad to have it. This is honest. In Charleston a man who frisked a bootleger was arrested for impersonating an officer. If the chorus averages one yard of cloth per member, that is naughty. If it averages one-fourth yard, that is art. Why should we worry if other nations have a great many more aircraft? We have planes fast enough to outrun anything. Think how confusing it will be when patriotic societies begin to preserve the hospital wards where great men were born. Correct this sentence: "I was the only girl in the family to marry a rich man," said she, "but none of my sisters envies me." A baker friend of ours tells about a bakery where, from the flour to the wrapped loaf, the human hand doesn't touch the bread. Every step, he says, is handled automatically by machinery. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON An Old Timer, Make this note: Don't eat more than You can tote. Until we advance to that point where we may discuss freely and frankly the problem of syphilis, we shall make little progress toward its eradication. Take headache tablets all you please. But watch nature treat disease; When she has an aching head, She just simply goes to bed. Contagious diseases spread less rapidly when the temperature stands at 65 and the relative humidity at approximately 85; but, in house heating, we usually reverse the order. As a class, those who habitually sleep out of doors have a much higher resistance against diseases that affect the nose, throat and lungs than those who spend their sleeping hours behind closed doors. If you shiver while you're bathing And your skin is sort of blue, Turn the spigot marked "hot water." For cold bathing's not for you. Carefully controlled experiments by competent investigators have a tendency to disprove the generally accepted statement that the hot, dry air of the arid region is more beneficial to human health than the cool, moist air of the sea coast country. There is entirely too much humidifierless heating. Watch your sneeze, it spreads disease, and so does careless spitting.

He was recommended for permanent appointment as brigadier-general by Wilson in 1919. It was General Hines who was largely responsible for developing the organization which carried over 2,082,000 soldiers to Europe in 18 months and returned them home in eight months. over-fed and under-worked than there is in being under-fed and over-worked.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING WARSHIPS AS MERCY MESSENGERS—Riveraide (Cal.) Press. The news that American naval vessels had been "ordered to Japan to give any relief possible" was comforting to hearts grieved by the terrible messages from that country. The efficiency with which Uncle Sam's boys take charge of disasters and disorders, the order they are able to bring out of terror, the peace out of misery, the strength and system with which they have been known to line up a mob bewildered with horror, get them to stand in line, open tins, apply bandages, and then, when they are sobered by orderly work of relief, get them to take hold with their own committees to proceed with the work of reconstruction, all this is known everywhere. The American's ability to "turn his keen, untroubled gaze straight to the instant need of things" is nowhere better exemplified than in the way first-aid is administered to those in trouble. Something of the old pioneering spirit which called him neighbor who needed help, though he lived beyond the ridge, has persisted in the manner of giving military and naval aid to the distressed a world away. And there, after all, is the great use of warships. The navy on the Pacific finds its true mission. It faces Japan, not with thunders of cannon, but with the enduring voice of mercy and peace. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT Maybe if we continue to refuse to join the league, the league will be forced, by financial circumstances, to come over and join us. Japan is emerging from her disaster in an entirely dignified manner. If Europe could stop squawking long enough to look in that direction she might learn how to arouse real sympathy in the hearts of the world. YES, YES, BUT HOW? Off came the cap with the wide visor.
