GAINS SHOWN IN TRADE WITH FOREIGN LANDS America's exports and imports both showed handsome gains during October, as compared with previous months and with the corresponding month last year. The trade balance in favor of the United States was approximately $100,000,000. Exports rose to more than $400,000,000 for the month. American trade, both foreign and domestic, is quite satisfactory as to volume and as to quality. Despite troubled conditions abroad, foreign countries are buying hugely from the United States and are selling vast quantities of commodities to this country. There are signs of continuance of this flourishing condition for an indefinite period. One hears, occasionally, a doleful forecast for next year or the immediate future. This pessimism is mischievous, if it have any influence at all. There is no good reason for such drastic misgivings. It is argued that the presidential campaign will bring a halt in business and industrial activities. Not necessarily at all. There was no appreciable lull four years ago, eight years ago, or even 12 years ago. The American people have become too intelligent to give way to needless fears in the face of a national political campaign. The "dull times" of presidential years in the past were due to unreasoning fear—to psychologic reasons, more than to any real menace in the issues and policies involved in the political contests. The people have grown wiser as to these things. There is likelihood that next year will witness the persistence of present activities, with hardly any degree of slowing up. Believe that the best is coming, and the very belief will help to bring and to sustain the best.

The American people have become too intelligent to give way to needless fears in the face of a national political campaign. The "dull times" of presidential years in the past were due to unreasoning fear—to psychologic reasons, more than to any real menace in the issues and policies involved in the political contests. The people have grown wiser as to these things. There is likelihood that next year will witness the persistence of present activities, with hardly any degree of slowing up. Believe that the best is coming, and the very belief will help to bring and to sustain the best. The American Red Cross never needs prompting to do the nobly generous thing whenever and wherever there is a disaster. Happy home life should be fostered as a national asset. Upon it rests the security of the nation. NOBEL PRIZE COMES TO PASADENAN There has come to an eminent Pasadenan—Dr. Robert A. Millikan of the California Institute of Technology—an honor in which all Pasadena shares—the Nobel prize for physics. Pasadena shares this prize because this city attracted Dr. Millikan here to live and serve, and because here is situated California Institute of Technology, of which Pasadena is justly proud—an institution which is giving technical training of the highest excellence. Albert Nobel gave the world infinitely more when he instituted the Nobel prizes for outstanding efforts of men and women in the cause of humanity, than when he invented dynamite—which, although destructive, may be and is applied to useful, harmless purposes. The Nobel prizes are awarded annually for the most important works of the year in physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology, idealistic literature, and service in the interest of peace. These and kindred achievements, which uplift and better mankind, deserve the encouraging attention of all who would help to advance the world toward the millenium. Through the toil of genius, through the perseverance of great souls, the way is blazed to higher, better, nobler things. Conservative care should rule in the Nation's economic life. Reckless plunging in any direction is sure to react hurtfully. There is one good trust in the world—the trust which one's friends have in one. The average American could eat fifty per cent less than he does and be better off in health and in purse.

NEW YORK LETTER By LUCY JEANNE PRICE NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The towne crier is back in the streets of New York. It's a fact, and for the practical purpose of his job, not juts as an adornment for a pageant. The second day of our newspaper strike he appeared. "Hear ye," he cried. "Paul Itainey dies. Mayor Hylan is better." And then, the announcement of a certain motion picture opening. Advertising, to be sure, but a towne crier in all that he used to be and with the same need. We are missing something from Broadway these weeks. The street salesmen! Neckties for one thin dime, two nickles, only the opening of a sardine can to replacing a spark plug! Russian rubles! A carpet cleaner that is also a sure-cure cough medicine! The sound of their praises is gone. Have the sounders found Manhattan too biase to listen to their cries and fall for them? Oh, not at all. They've deserted us only for the season; gone to the county fairs throughout all of the rural districts this side of the Mississippi. Those rural residents will support them for the next six weeks. Fair week is a tolerant time everywhere. Then back they'll come to Broadway, whose people will keep them going steadily 46 full weeks of the year. American women will not appear in varied and startlingly colored wigs, all confident reports from Paris to the contrary. That, at least, is the verdict of C. Many Americans can speak French, but only a select few get the right accent with their shoulders. The noses that get into other people's affairs are the ones that have little acquaintance with the grindstone. A bright child probably wonders why its parent is a tyrant, part of the time and a valet part of the time. University of California co-ed who get vaccinated on the leg, "where it won't show," have great confidence in style makers. After all it doesn't matter whether the people can bear a public official if the public official can bear the people. A man orders more quickly than a woman—not because his wits are nimble, but because he is afraid of the waiter. These young men who delight in making their heads shine won't be so keen about their glistening effect when the upper deck is nude. An examination of presidential possibilities serves to emphasize the difference between "possibility" and "probability." A friendly critic says Coolidge will leave no stone unturned. His experience on a Vermont farm will serve him well in that particular. It sounds unreasonable, but the Declaration of Independence attracted wide attention without being printed in the form of a comic strip. Mrs. Belmont is right. Marriage is a kind of slavery. But you can't make the average man believe it until it is too late. Correct this sentence: "I have written a million business letters," he boasted, "and never have written 'yours to hand and contents noted.'" THE STENOG'S UNION Pritke, pretty maiden, Jon no union or the like, For his would be a vacant world If you should go on strike. You're in my outer office, And I like to know you're there When dreaded bores call on me To beard me in my lair. I like to hear you answer The office telephone. No one can fib like you can, My dear, you stand alone. I like to hear you answer The favor-seeking bunch, Informing them, adroitly, "He's out to lunch." How often have I wondered, Sweet hail, if you're possessed Of an India rubber conscience, And is your soul at rest? Oh, smiling young Sapphira, You put that stunt all day. When you meet old St. Peter, What are you going to say? Oh, prithe, pretty damsel, Seek not the sordid pelf. Strike not or I will have to do My lynch for myself. CROSS EYES CORRECTED THIS MUSCULAR DEFECT CORRECED AND STRAIN RELEVED BY PROPERLY ADJUSTED GLASSES. DR W R BLAKELY OPTOETRIST ANAMEIN CALL Our city would seem to attract more adventures in life than any other corner of the world. The Adventurers' Club, with branches in the principal cities of every continent, flourishes here as no where else. The membership, which is limited strictly to explorers and adventurers of land and sea, is now larger in New York than in any other city. The Club of which Dr. W. E. Augenbaugh is President, will hold a memorial dinner next month for the late Dr. Leonard S. Sugren, who was killed in the north this summer. Dr. Owen Rowe O'Neill, who was in Africa with Dr. Sugden, will be the principal speaker. BRICK us a fire-fighter The recent disastrous fires in Berkeley, Sarra Barbara and Eagle Rock have again called attention to the tremendous fire hazard that threatens California cities. A study of these ruins proves conclusively the claims of brick as the one absolutely fireproof building material. Many California cities are today revising their building ordinances to profit by the lessons of Berkeley. Wherever possible they will insist on brick construction to safe-guard the city against menace of fire. Brick is burned when made—it will never burn again. But when you decide on brick, be sure you go fire-burned clay brick. Harvey Garber Brick Yards Olive, California Member California Common Brick Manufacturers Association THURSDAY, NOV.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING LIFE SACRIFICED NEEDLESSLY—Kansas City Star Civilization is highly imperfect as long as it is possible for children and older persons to be slaughtered in such accidents as occurred in Ohio and Pennsylvania recently. At an Ohio grade crossing eight children, riding in a school bus, were killed and several others injured, two dangerously. In a similar accident in Pennsylvania the toll was five killed and as many injured. Debate may be endless as to who was to blame in these cases and in hundreds of others of a similar kind every year. Efforts to punish reckless or careless motorists have availed little, as have efforts to make the crossings safe. The real point is that the grade crossings, at least those on heavily traveled highways, should not exist. Their presence becomes an increasing menace as motor traffic increases. These death traps are being removed in some states. There should be definite plans to remove them in others. SERVICE MEN'S INSURANCE—Riverside (Cal.) Press Approximately 4,500,000 men out of 4,800,000 who were in the great World War took out insurance. In the minds of most of them the termination of the war and the rapid demobilization of the army eliminated all need of insurance. As a result, and because of the financial difficulty encountered by these men in the period of transition between their discharge and re-entry into the commercial and industrial activities of civil life, a large amount of war-time insurance was permitted to lapse. There has been, however, a very steady growth in the number of converted insurance policies in force. On December 1, 1920, there were 212,152 of these policies representing insurance in the amount of $712,-454,000. A year later these had increased to 264,669 converted insurance policies in force, representing insurance in the amount of $944,901,851. The number of converted insurance policies in force on December 31, 1922, totaled 298,256 and represented an insurance in the amount of $1,119,-715,905. On August 31 of this year there were 327,223 converted insurance policies in force, representing insurance in the amount of $1,252,-332,498. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BALLADE OF YE STYLISH SKIRT ("Tight skirts are in again."—Fashion Review) Miss Euphemia Burt A tough life job for me, Bought a stylish new skirt, If, per chance, we should ever be married." ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY BROYTON BALLADE OF YE STYLISH SKIRT ("Tight skirts are in again."—Fashion Review) Miss Euphemia Burt Bought a stylish new skirt, The kind that's so tight that it pinches. To the mode she was hep But the young lady's step Was at best but a scant seven inches. One could not see her feet As she hopped down the street She worried the keen traffic copper. She could not navigate, And the cars had to wait, And he feared that she might come a cropper. And the autos, my word! It was truly absurd. For Euphemia never could dodge 'em. So they stopped with a slam, And they got in a jam. And it took a half-hour to dislodge 'em. When she went to a show With her regular beau, To save time, the lady he carried. And he said: "I can see A tough life job for me, If, per chance, we should ever be married." He would set down Miss Burt In her very tight skirt And lean her right up 'gainst the wickets, So she couldn't fall down In her Houdini gown, And then he'd rush off for the tickets. Two weeks of this stuff And he had quite enough. And eloped with a hack driver's daughter. Who was not long on style, But could walk a fast mile, And wore large, roomy skirts, as she ougher. She could cook and could scrub And bend over a tub And lose none of her girlish laughter. At the housework she shone In a home for their own, And they happily lived ever after.
