EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS How beautiful it is to be alive! To wake, each worm, as if the Maker's grace Did us afresh from nothingness derive. That we might sing "How happy is our case! How beautiful it is to be alive! —Henry Septimus Sutton CONGRESS NEGLECTING AIR SERVICE That Congress is neglecting the army air service woefully, is asserted by persons in position to know. One of these is Dwight F. Davis, Assistant Secretary of War. Mr. Davis, in a speech to business men of Detroit, said that the American airplane industry is "starving to death." Foreign nations are building up the airplane industry to flourishing extent. But the United States is allowing "this industry, absolutely vital" to our national defense, to die a lingering death." This is a serious indictment. It is not lightly made, from an irresponsible source. It comes from a source of high responsibility—from a man who knows whereof he speaks. Mr. Davis touches upon a national need that should receive earnest and practical attention. This country needs airplanes—great numbers of them. It needs them in mail and commercial service. And it needs them to be in the first line of defense should this country be attacked from abroad. GRATITUDE IS SHOWN BY JAPANESE America has touched the heart of Japan. The most feeling and touching manifestations of gratitude toward this country were shown as Ambassador Wood prepared to leave Tokio for home, on leave of absence. The whole Japanese people, from the highest dignitaries of government to the humblest subject of the Emperor, seem to be imbued with the spirit of gratefulness toward the government and people of the United States. It is said that the expressions and tokens of appreciation and thankfulness as Ambassador Wood started away, were the most remarkable ever witnessed in Japan to GRATITUDE IS SHOWN BY JAPANESE America has touched the heart of Japan. The most feeling and touching manifestations of gratitude toward this country were shown as Ambassador Wood prepared to leave Tokio for home, on leave of absence. The whole Japanese people, from the highest dignitaries of government to the humblest subject of the Emperor, seem to be imbued with the spirit of gratefulness toward the government and people of the United States. It is said that the expressions and tokens of appreciation and thankfulness as Ambassador Wood started away, were the most remarkable ever witnessed in Japan toward a foreigner. Furthermore, on the birthday of the Emperor, the United States Flag was displayed by the Japanese along with their own national banner. These are wonderful victories of peace and mercy and humanity. In this manner America is conquering the world—through good will and helpfulness. It conquered Belgium and other portions of distressed Europe in the same way.

A scientist says the servant type is disappearing. We thought it had merely moved upstairs. No question ever is settled; until those who get sore spots in the settling are safely buried. If the people are not wondering why an ambassador resigns, they are wondering why he does not. The age of discretion is that immediately following one's first experience in being trimmed. Old Nero wasn't such a bad egg. He may have fiddled while Rome burned, but he didn't play politics. Europe's culture is superior to ours, no doubt; but it is a very poor substitute for regular meals. In these hard-bolled times, an orphan has one social advantage. It has no parents to be ashamed of. There is always some way to lessen your trials, and when the situation becomes desperate you can buy the neighbor a new photograph record. Correct this sentence: "The boss gave me some of his lip today," boasted the husband, "and what I told him was a glorious plenty." Abe Martin It's about got so if we git home intact we've done a pretty good day's work. "Oh, boy! that's certainly great liquor," said Pinky Kerr, after he regained his breath and picked his hat up. PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN Still, a monkey would be muck like a human if you could inoculate him with a germ of avarice. America is safe while most of her kicking is caused by having more goods than she can dispose of. Tense situations no longer alarm the world. It has learned that they all tend to become past tense. The charming new frocks are appearing in abundance. The only tight lines are those about Dad's mouth. An undeveloped country is one that remains underfoot while the big fellows protect it from one another. The trouble is that if a man is rich enough to go to the court of St. James, he is too useful to spare. It must be a great consolation to those who are being persecuted to know that they are merely being reformed. That Berliner arrested for making counterfeit marks may have had no sense of honor, but he had a keen sense of humor. Not all reforms are occasioned by piety. A man usually turns over a new leaf when he turns over a new car. Correct this sentence: "He could have gone into the fifth grade this year," claimed the mother, "but we want him to be thorough." There is always some way to lessen your trials, and when the situation becomes desperate you can buy the neighbor a new phonograph record. Correct this sentence: "The boss gave me some of his lip today," boasted the husband, "and what I told him was a glorious plenty." Not all reforms are occasioned by piety. A man usually turns over a new leaf when he turns over a new car.

Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as 2nd class matter. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT Man arrested for stealing and doing away with a dozen saxophones. There will be a riot if they ever try to send this public benefactor to prison. Men used to get into trouble by sowing wild oats. Now they sow wild rye. One paper says Gifford Pinchot will know what his chances for the presidency are when the annual coal bills arrive. Then he should know immediately. The dealers are very prompt about those matters. Lord Curzon says any fool can make war. He might have added that they are generally the ones who do. Our astute statesmen continue to flock to Europe to find out what America needs. England is about to pay her debt to us in full. She is going to send her poet laureate over here to live. A very mean man has suggested that it will not be necessary to run the artificial ice plant in the White House while Cal is there. If a politician sits on the fence constantly and reads nothing but the Lit Digest, we believe he will be perfectly safe. The designs on some of our paper money will be changed, but most people will have the same old designs on it.
