A divine atmosphere envelops their world, a raster amplitude of light surrounds their being.—Hugh MacMilan. AVIATORS TO PUSH ON WITHOUT LEADER It is the dauntless spirit of America that speaks in the official order to the three airplanes yet intact in the world flight to "carry on"—to continue their flight, despite the ominous situation with reference to their leader and his mechanician. This is the true spirit of gameness, for which Americans are noted. The individual may fall or fail, but the enterprise goes on. If one leader goes down, another leader arises. If some perish in the hazards of big adventures like this, others, undaunted, press on. The gallant men who fall would not have it otherwise. Could they seepak before they perish, they would say to their comrades: "Do not flinch because I am leaving you; carry on!" This is the spirit that subdues the wilderness; it is the spirit that invades the far recesses of the world; it is the spirit that explores and charts new lines of travel and communication—new methods of annihilating time and space. Honor and glory for those who bravely perish in the midst of a big enterprise in the path of human progress. But onward march by those who remain. Where some go down in pioneering, others go forward to triumph. This very spirit of intrepidity and persistence is tribute to those who do not reach goal. Pessimism and progressivism do not move in the same circle. Good government is not promoted by non-voting good citizens. How eager some persons are to say disparaging things of others—how reluctant to say anything good.

The twenty-five Pierce-Arrow touring cars used on "The Horseshoe Route" out of Merced to Yosemite are lubricated exclusively with Zerolene. Seeing YOSEMITE on ZEROLENE-lubricated bearings If you haven't traveled the Horseshoe Route out of Merced to Yosemite in one of the Pierce-Arrow touring cars operated by the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company, you've missed something. But whether or not you have made this trip, you'll be interested, as a motorist, in knowing that the twenty-five Pierce-Arrow cars used in this service are lubricated with Zerolene. The manager of this famous stage line writes: "We have been operating a stage line since 1911 and have always used Zerolene. Recently we disposed of some cars that had been in our service for ten years, and during that period none of them had ever had a bearing scraped." Whether you drive a Pierce-Arrow or a Ford, the use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill PARAGRAPH By ROBERT QUILLLEN One of the chief ingredients of the composition of a self-man is brass. The happiest people are the least governed. This is especially true of husbands. Denby had faults, no doubt but he didn't begin by advocating another amendment. Most of the fake stock bought by people who think a more laws are necessary. The pestmist may be a fool hope for the worst, but it shalt that he knows human nature. The funny part is that a owner with nine children is always looking for a "sensible" woman. It probably wouldn't be homicide if you should swat youngster who thinks he "wow" with the ladies. A speed of 25 miles meets requirements of everybody except those who are not going where. Nobody likes a doctor comes so tardily that the system disappear before he there. Man really is superior. He pretend that he doesn't mind ting-fat and get away with it. Men talk about money; women about men. The thing that trigues us is the thing that hard to get.

Recently we disposed of some cars that had been in our service for ten years, and during that period none of them had ever had a bearing scraped." Whether you drive a Pierce-Arrow or a Ford, the use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill, but give you greater gasoline mileage, less carbon, lower upkeep costs, and a longer life for your car. Big users refuse to pay tribute to the old superstition that there is something mysteriously "better" about "eastern" oils — why should you pay that tribute? Insist on Zerolene, even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) This booklet reports independent service tests of Zerolene made by a number of large users. Ask any Standard Oil Company sales representative or Zerolene dealer for a copy. Nobody likes a doctor comes so tardily that the sythems disappear before he there. Man really is superior.

No mortal eye but mine Hath looked upon thy face. No shadow but mine own Hath screened treee from the sight WHO'S WHO IN THE DAY'S NEWS JAMES BROWN, M. P. The appointment of James Brown, member of the British Labor Parliament, as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland produces the most striking contrast of the advent of labor as the ruling party in England. From a miner's cottage rented at $50 a year at Annbank, near Ayr, James Brown and his wife will go to Edinburgh, representing the king and queen, and dwell in the famous Holyrood Place, ancient home of the Stuarts. "It is a wonderful change for us all," said the former coal miner, "As a wee laddle I used to be taken over to Holyrood Palace and would look with awe at it, of course, never dreaming that one day I'd come to live there." For two and a half centuries this office has been held only by members of the highest Scottish nobility. Although a Socialist, Mr. Brown expects to keep up the historic traditions as much as possible. "I am going to show Scotland—and England as well—," he is quoted as saving, "that a Socialist and a miner can do things properly and maintain the historic traditions." At the age of 12 "Jamie" Brown, as he was called, started working in a mine and has worked there ever since. His wife was formerly a mill girl. When the assembly is over they expect to return from Holyrood Palace to their miner's cottage of two rooms and a kitchen. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months. $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DINNER STORIES A young city woman went out to teach a country school. The class in arithmetic was before her. She said: "Now, children, if there are ten sheep on one side of a wall and one jumps over, how many sheep will be left?" Then up piped a little tow-headed daughter of a farmer: "No sheep, teacher; no sheep." "Oh! oh!" cried the young city woman, reproachfully. "You are not so stupid as that! Think again. If there were ten sheep on one side of the wall and one sheep jumped over, nine sheep would be left. Don't you see that?" "No! no! no!" persisted the child. "If one sheep jumped over all the others would jump after. My father keeps sheep." Then, seeing the puzzled look on the teacher's face, the little tow-head explained apologetically: "You know 'rithmatic, but I know sheep." The teacher put a question to the class: "What does a cat have that no other animal has?" A number cried in unison: "Fur!" But an objector raised the point that bears and skunks have fur. One pupil raised an eager hand: "I know, teacher—whiskers!" But another objector laughed scornfully. "Haw-haw! My papa has whiskers!" The suggester of whiskers defended her idea by declaring: "My papa ain't got whiskers." "Cause he can't!" the objector sneered. "Haw-haw! Your pa ain't no good. My pa says—" DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION—Sacramento Bee Under the long established two-thirds rule, it will take exactly 729 1-3 votes in the Democratic national convention, which opens in New York on June 24th, to nominate candidates for president and vice-president. The whole number of votes—not of delegates—is 1094. The total number of delegates will not correspond to the whole number of votes, as there will be four women "delegates at large" from each state, each such delegate at large having half a vote. And as there are forty-eight states, the number of women delegates at large will be 192—enough to add interest to the proceedings, variety to the view, and infuse something of a feminine element in the contest for nominations. As yet there are no women aspirants for the Democratic nomination for president or vice-president, although upwards of thirty prominent members of the party have been listed among the possible selections of the convention for the White House. And no women aspirants are expected to "butt in." It appears to be the general opinion that William G. McAdoo will lead in the first ballot, with Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New York, and Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana making a good showing, not to mention other "favorite sons." But a long contest is anticipated. Recently a well known eastern Democrat was asked how long he thought the convention would last, and he jestingly answered: "All Summer!" But one never can tell what may happen in any such convention—the unexpected often occurs, instead of what may have been regarded as "cut and dried." But an objector raised the point that bears and skunks have fur. One pupil raised an eager hand: "I know, teacher—whiskers!" But another objector laughed scornfully. "Haw-haw! My papa has whiskers!" The suggester of whiskers defended her idea by declaring: "My papa ain't got whiskers." "'Cause he can't!" the objector sneered. "Haw-haw! Your pa ain't no good. My pa says—" The teacher rapped for order, and repeated her question. A little girl raised her hand, and at the teacher's nod spoke timidly. "Kittens!"
