Hester DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS If I knew all that is to be learned from a daisy even, I should be less a stranger to God than I am. All about me, tree unto tree is uttering speech, and flower unto flower is showing knowledge. But it is in a language that I do not understand, but which I shall remember, and which I shall learn the whole meaning of hereafter.—William Mountford. INQUIRIES NUMEROUS INTO SCANDALS An enterprising Washington correspondent grouped the inquiries that are under way, or to get under way, this week, in Washington. They run well up toward a dozen. This makes a record. Never before has there been so much investigating of alleged misconduct in public life, in so many directions. There is no fault to be found with the most searchin inquiry that may be made into the conduct of any official the government. Nor should these inquiries be under coBut assuredly there should be proper method and judicialness in making the investigations. The inquiries should devoid of political partisanship. And there should be its faronading. This is no way to detect guilt or to efoo punishment. There is too much blazoning of accusations much blowing of trumpets. Courts of law do not prishway. Shrewd authorities, bent upon apprehending arresting law breakers, do not take newspaper reporteration pondents into their confidence and give advance herald as to what is to be done, and tell the newspaper criminals it to the world.

Salisbury, who for 25 years has covered the trails and the beauty spots of the state, 18 separate maps showing roads, canyling, fishing and hunting spots, and scenic beauties have been prepared. Some idea of the detail of this monumental task may be had from the fact that 100 men worked nearly a year compiling the data on the big outing map of east central California, which embraces the high Sierra territory, but little explored though rich in romance and beauty. In addition to the comprehensive maps there are 14 special bulletins including camping, fishing, hunting, swimming and yachting facilities in different parts of the state. These give in detail cities, towns, resorts, camp grounds, streams, supply stations and all information so vital to the tourist, but often so difficult to obtain. Every question that the prospective motor boatlet and camper may ask is anticipated in these bulletins. They include Sequoia, Mono, Inyo Stanislaws, Tahoe, Shasta and Lassen National forests, the High Sierras, the Eldorado National Forest—the Land of the Pony Express—the Modoc Country, the Feather River Country and Plumas National Forest, Mountain Land and Seashore, and the greatest of all favorites for recreation—the Angelus National Forest which was entered by nearly 2,000,000 recreation seekers last year. A booklet containing the camp grounds of California and along the Pacific Highway has also been prepared which is of investigable value to the motorist. The information contained in these booklets and maps is authentic. The government forest service cooperated and the real facts are told regarding all localities so that the recreation seeker may know in advance what it is to be seen and enjoyed, know how to equip for a trip, and the most direct route of going. This special service to members will also be extended to visiting motorists in So Calif., so it is expected that 1924 will be a banner year for recreation seekers in California's beauty spots. SATURDAY, MARCH FIFTEENTH, 1924 Subscription Rate—In N. Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter Y. BUILDING IN CONSTANT DEMAND The final basketball game of the "Y" league will be played Tuesday evening at the high school, it was announced today by Warren Ashleigh, local secretary. A tie is to be played off between the K. C. and Bulletin teams. The teams standing third and fourth are the Legion and Sheik teams. The "Y" today staged a tennis tournament at the city and high school courts. Finals are expected to be played Saturday, March 22. A new Pioneer club, under the auspices of the "Y," was organized Thursday night at the Salem Evangelical churca with a membership of 10 under the presidency of Lowell Schmid. They will meet every Tuesday evening. Mr. Ashleigh says that the "Y" building on So. Philadelphia-st is now being used every night except Saturday regularly, and some times on Saturday night. He announced the schedule as follows: Monday night, Hi-Y; Tuesday night, girls' Hi-Y, under the leadership of Mrs. L. E. Sutherland; Wednesday night, Jr. Hi-Y, freshmen, Coleman Hickey, leader; Thursday night, Pioneer Groups, Wilbur Bonney, leader; Friday night, Pioneer Groups, Arthur Coons, leader. Some church also uses the building one night a week, sometimes more often, for social purposes, Mr. Ashleigh said. He said that in addition to the basketball league just closing, and the tennis tournament now in formation, the "Y" is forming a volleyball team to play at the high school, and has a men's gym class each Monday and Thursday evening. The "Y" is also planning the opening of a "Find Yourself" campanion next week. Fred Dye of COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying FOREIGN TRAVEL LESS EXPENSIVE—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Travel in Europe is said to be cheaper at its present value, passenger rates amount to about 1-7 cents a mile first class. Fares, in most of the other countries are likewise low. What is/more surprising, the service is said to be excellent. There are still little difficulties encountered on frontiers, resulting from the increase in the number of independent nationalities since the war, and the more general imposition of tariffs and the inspection of passports. But there is an effort to make such annoyances more endurable to tourists, especially American tourists with plenty of money to spend. It looks like a big year for foreign travel. There is an almost unparalleled demand for outbound liners, for the winter touring, and the summer touring may break all records. There need be no regret ab out that. It is good for Americans to get about and see the world. It broadens them; and yet they usually return with more admiration than ever for their own country. It does not interfere either, with "seeing America first." Most of the citizens going abroad have seen America pretty thoroughly and there are plenty left to do about as much domestic touring as the country can stand in one year. OUR OWN DAILY SHORT STORY In Doubt A New York physician who has recently transferred his activities to the Hub tells of a Bostonian who, like most of his townsmen, is a precision in the matter of English, and who had occasion not long ago to consult the aforesaid doctor: “What you need, more than anything else, is a tonic in the shape of fresh air,” said the doctor. Whereupon the Hubbite waxed sarcastic and inquired: Before we proceed further, would you mind telling me what is the shape of fresh air? The difference between a driver and a pedestrian is that the former rides in a touring car while the latter rides in an ambulance.

THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY Many years ago I knew two men, One was very wealthy, And the other taught me How to play the piano. Recently I met my music teacher And also my wealthy friend. One looked "shabby" The other looked prosperous. The rich man had lost And the artist had won.
