EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS For life to cease to be poor and commonplace, and become intrinsically rich and wonderful, we must realize that, if it is, as a whole, a gift of God, then all its parts must be so. How grand and majestic, then, is this every-day life! It is inlaid with divinity; and David utters a literal fact when he speaks of his downsitting and uprising as encompassed by God.—Anonymous. No man should be judged on slanderous gossip. The world should be nearer universal peace today than it ever was. A national political campaign based upon calumny would be shameful. Any organization which does the good for boys that the Boy Scout does, deserves hearty support from the public. The greatest among men are the simplest. Simplicity and greatness are full brothers. Misjudging of motives is a common frailty among those who criticise. There must be rest and recreation at intervals, or there inevitably will be broken health. They are burning them in oil, figuratively, over at Washington. Worrying about the weather is about the most futile of all follicles. The Senate is stagnant and contented. But the people are not. They are burning them in oil, figuratively, over at Washington. Worrying about the weather is about the most futile of all follies. The Senate is stagnant and contented. But the people are not. The troubled waters of politics will not be calmed this year by pouring on of oil. The famous "New England conscience" is a good thing to have in the White House at this juncture in national affairs. California's growth is steady, consistent and on a prodigious scale. The good that men say of Woodrow Wilson now, should have been said while he was living. Conventionality has strong hold upon the average person. It requires considerable moral courage to be unconventional. When officers of the law and posses of citizens, make banditry deadly dangerous, there will be fewer crimes of this kind. There are few bandits who care to face the dangerous end of a gun in the hands of a grim shooter. J. L.

THOMSON The doctor picked the bottle up—I heard the doctor mutter; "There's just as much of vitamine In half an ounce of butter." The best way to roast pork is to curse the road hog. When we were in need, the old fashionable family physician was a friend indeed. The weary traveler climbs the hill And on it's crest he blows; A sign board spreads before his view—He sees—"Contented Cows." Those who are advocates of free clinics are always very liberal with the doctor's services. Our city streets are becoming so congested that it is difficult for the young people to find sparking space. The carpet's up, the curtain's down, The house is all a fluster; For mother wields a wicked broom While sister wields the duster. If you want a healthier America tomorrow, you must start in the schools of today. TIME TABLE A. T. & S. F. R. R. In effect February 17, 1924 Trains to Los Angeles *No. 79 ... 6:08 A.M.

BRUCE William Cabell Bruce, Democratic senator from Maryland, is pointed out to capital visitors these days as the most talked of man in congress. And this despite the fact that he is serving his first term, has been in the upper house but a few weeks. Among his moves which have drawn the spotlight on him are his vote for Sen. Albert B. Cummins, a Republican, for chairman of the Interstate Commerce committee, his unqualified indorsement of Secretary Mellon's tax reduction program and his outspoken opposition to the bonus. Many senators spend years in the national legislature without stepping that boldly into the foreground. He says the tax problem is a non-partisan issue. He says the principle of the bonus is vicious and it is supported by a loud minority. He adds he had two sons in the war. He voted for Cummins as a vote against LaFollette's faction. Bruce is 63, but looks younger. He was born in Virginia and attended the University of Virginia and his friends point with pride to the fact that while he was in school he won a medal for debating against such opposition as Woodrow Wilson. He has long been rated as one of the leading members of the Maryland bar and served as general counsel of the public service commission in his state—centering his efforts in regulating corporations. He is an author of some note, "Benjamin Franklin Self-Revealed," being among his efforts. This book won him the Pulitzer prize of 1919 for the best serious book of that year. Bruce takes pride in his ancestry. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE—San Francisco Chronicle A man, emerging from a theater, bought a piece of music at the door because the melody had particularly charmed him. But when he tried it out at home on his own piano he found that it fell rather flat. He missed the orchestra. The modern newspaper supplies the orchestration for news, editorials and advertisements. Some are jazzy. Some are thin. And some are of full philharmonic proportions. An item of news, an article of opinion, or an advertisement of dependable merchandise requires the fullest orchestration and leadership possible to procure, to make it authoritative. The finest advertisement of the most meritorious article loses its appeal in a journal whose atmosphere is sordid and disquieting. The same is true of news. Lincoln once said: "The papers lie, then they relie, and then they call themselves reliable." But self-assumed reliability is one thing. Reliability that is built on the reader's and the advertiser's confidence, and not betrayed, is quite another thing. A thin tune may be "put over" by clever orchestration. But it will not live long outside the theater. A good advertisement may appear in a cheap and theatric atmosphere and be handicapped from the start by the general suspicion of the public. The ensemble which your newspaper presents is the thing which counts. Unlike the popular tune of the hour, the news, editorials and advertisements can not be judged apart from their setting. It's the orchestration that wins confidence. Cable report gives us the important news that Parisians have adopted American apple pie. But as long as they don't adopt American not mine pie they will be in no particular danger. ELECT school he won a medal for debating against such opposition as Woodrow Wilson. He has long been rated as one of the leading members of the Maryland bar and served as general counsel of the public service commission in his state—centering his efforts in regulating corporations. He is an author of some note, "Benjamin Franklin Self-Revealed," being among his efforts. This book won him the Pulitzer prize of 1919 for the best serious book of that year. Bruce takes pride in his ancestry, tracing it back to the Scottish hero, Robert Bruce. DINNER STORIES It is related that a young magazine editor of New York took a trip to California and happened upon Hollywood. He was invited to a motion picture party and decided to put off his usual reserve and diffidence and enter fully into the spirit of the occasion. He devoted his attention throughout the evening to a young film actress. "I will be wild," he determined. "I will be rowdy. I will behave with all the abandon for which Hollywood is famous." He did his best, but suddenly, as he was playing the role to the limit of his capacity, the young woman broke down and wept. The editor asked the cause of her distress, and with tears in her eyes she looked up and said: "I've been here almost a year now and you're the first fellow that's acted to me like a gentleman." THEY FIT WHERE OTHERS FAIL ELECT J. E. SCHUMACHER For City Trustee City Election April 14 Two-Year Term The Consolidated Motor Freight Lines, Inc., of Oakland, Calif., has solved its lubrication problem — by standardizing on Zerolene. Independent Tests Verify Claims Subjecting the anti-western oil superstition to the test of actual comparison in service, this Company verified independently our claims that Zerolene will lubricate the modern automobile engine as well or better than any oil on the market, irrespective of price, and whether of eastern or western origin. A part of their letter follows: "During the past three or four years we have experimented with various brands of eastern and western lubricating oils, including Zerolene oil. The results of these tests have proved to our satisfaction that Zerolene lubricates our equipment with the greatest efficiency." Zerolene will lubricate the modern automobile engine as well or better than any oil on the market, irrespective of price, and whether of eastern or western origin. A part of their letter follows: "During the past three or four years we have experimented with various brands of eastern and western lubricating oils, including Zerolene oil. The results of these tests have proved to our satisfaction that Zerolene lubricates our equipment with the greatest efficiency. Our recent decision to lubricate our trucks exclusively with Zerolene oils has resulted in the reduction to a minimum of mechanical difficulties which were due to faulty lubrication." Less Carbon—Better Gasoline Mileage Why pay tribute to a superstition? The use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill, but give you better continuous lubrication, and better lubrication means greater gasoline mileage, less carbon, lower upkeep costs, and a longer life for your car. Insist on Zerolene, even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) WHY pay tribute to a SUPERSTITION? This booklet reports independent service tests of Zerolene made by a number of large users. Ask any Standard Oil Sales representative or Zerolene dealer for a copy.
