STITUTION THEME OF SCHOOL ORATORS Here they presented national contest in oratory among students of secondary schools, with the United States Constitution as the theme, will be held in Washington, on June 6. President Coolidge will be chairman and will make an address. The judges will be Chief Justice Taft and four associate justices of the United States Supreme Court. No such dignity ever has been given to an occasion of this kind in this country. This movement to inspire study of the Constitution and to intensify interest in it, has been sponsored by representative American newspapers. It has been a labor of love of the Constitution and interest in the bright, talented youth of the land. Thousands have entered the nation-wide contest. From these thousands a few were chosen for the final test before the highest official dignitaries of the country. From this intensified study of the Constitution should be derived great good in stimulating the young to become conversant with the Nation's great charter; with its history; and with the success of popular government under the Constitution. Building activity is proceeding in California. This is a year in construction to be compared with the best that have preceded it. NEWSPAPERS ARE AIDS TO VOTERS A great national political campaign is opening. The masses of the voters, observant and thoughtful, are forming their opinions as to candidates, and after the nominations are made, the people will come into political alignment. The one influence that is strongest is this campaign—as it has been in every great campaign of recent years—is the newspaper. Voters, in greater numbers than ever before, are reading newspapers and gathering information upon which to base their intelligence. NEWSPAPERS ARE AIDS TO VOTERS A great national political campaign is opening. The masses of the voters, observant and thoughtful, are forming their opinions as to candidates, and after the nominations are made, the people will come into political alignment. The one influence that is strongest is this campaign—as it has been in every great campaign of recent years—is the newspaper. Voters, in greater numbers than ever before, are reading newspapers and gathering information upon which to base their intelligent, independent ballots. Dependence upon newspapers for information and guidance in politics is more widespread now than ever before. Voters look to their favorite papers more than to any other source for enlightenment and for prompting as to how to vote, and how not to vote. Let everything be secondary to voting in the primary. Be sure to cast your ballot on the sixth of May. Taxes should be cut whenever and wherever possible. The people should have all the relief in this that it is possible to give them. Every week is boys' week, in broad view. It is fitting, however, that one week be dedicated to intensive study of the boy and his problems. Patriotic impulse in this country should be alive and alert. Let patriotism be reduced to a dead formalism, and it is not real patriotism. 21 Service Stations in Los Angeles Vermont and Third.

Cook Saturday—stuff Sunday—grumpy Monday FUTURE OF GREECE DEPENDS UPON MAKING REFUGEES ASSETS BY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE" "I feel just as positive about the ability to put Greece on a normal basis as I felt two years ago when I said that Austria, with comparatively little help, could be put back on her feet. Greece is in a much better position now than Austria was then." So said Henry Morganthau, former U. S. ambassador to Turkey, on his recent return from Europe, where he had been serving as chairman of the Greek refugee settlement commission under the council of the League of Nations. "Approximately 500,000 refugees have now assimilated. They are the crux of the whole Greek situation. The future of Greece depends on whether these refugees are going to be a liability or impediment or, with slight assistance, are to become assets as agriculturists. At present Greece is importing 30 per cent of her grain requirements. The refugees also are going to raise tobacco and other things that will greatly increase the wealth of Greece. Instead of being 'suckers,' as wa say in railroad parliance, they will become 'feeders.' There is no question about that." Mr. Morganthau explained that the refugees were being settled on lands as nearly according to group classification as possible. A large part of the land for the refugees had come from Turks who had evacuated it. But the Greeks had abandoned more than four times SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DEL. W. F.

A long speech, like tough pie crust, needs shortening. You may poison, You may trap them, You may put them under ban; But within your City limits, sir, There’s a rat for every man. In the old days it was the gun stock that got men in trouble, now it’s the oil stock. The death rate from communicable diseases is steadily decreasing; the death rate from overfeeding and over-speeding is steadily increasing.

The refugees also are going to raise tobacco and other things that will greatly increase the wealth of Greece. Instead of being 'suckers,' as wa say in railroad parliance, they will become 'feedern.' There is no question about that. Mr. Morganthau explained that the refugees were being settled on lands as nearly according to group classification as possible. A large part of the land for the refugees had come from Turks who had evacuated it. But the Greeks had abandoned more than four times as much land to the Turks as they have caused the Turks to abandon. The transplantation of refugees, Mr. Morganthau said, had "completely transferred the Asia Minor rug trade to Greece. It will take some time for factories to be built, but in the meantime we are assisting many factories to increase production by selling them additional land at cost. They have got orders from America for twice as much as they can manufacture." Mr. Morganthau said he was impressed by the fact that it took Moses 40 years to lead the 603.-000 Israelites out of bondage and settle them in other lands. "We are trying," he commented, "to place 1,150,000 settlers in three years. I hope that it can be arranged for the country to call for $0 or 40 volunteers to go to Greece to take part in this work." Mr. Morganthau said that a $5 bootblack outfit would enable a Greek refugee boy of 12 or 14 years to become a supporter of a family. Similarly $10 would buy an outfit for a candy seller who then would become a family support. The Greeks, he said were purposely holding their currency down to approximately 10 cents on the dollar, because if it went up they would not be able to compete with neighboring countries. The wood chopper, during his working hours, requires five times as much food to supply his power and energy as when he is at absolute rest. SATURDAY, MAY THIRTY - FIRST, 1924 Subscription Rate—In N.

Up there came a flower, The people said, a weed. To and fro they went. Through my garden-bower, And muttering discontent Cursed me and my flower. Then it grew so tall It wore a crown of light, But thieves from o'er the wall Stole the seed by night. Sowed it far and wide By every town and tower, Till all the people cried, "Splendid is the flower." Read my little fable: He that runs may read. Most can raise the flowers now, For all have got the seed. And some are pretty enough, And some are poor indeed; And now again the people Call it but a weed. —Alfred Tennyson. When we speak of mosquitoes and malaria, it's the deadly female mosquito we dread. She's blood thirsty. The male mosquito secures his sustenance by drinking juices from succulent plants. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SHIRKING AMONG VOTERS — Forbes Magazine If you want a thing well done, do it yourself. The vast majority of business men do not heed this time-tested motto when it come to the performance of political and civic duties. They neglect, they leave to others all the political work, all the organization efforts which precede the nominating of men to run our Federal, our state, and even our municipal governmental bodies. Still worse a great many business men do not take the trouble even to vote for those selected by the politicians. What is the result? Our governmental affairs are inefficiently administered, mostly by officials and legislators of indifferent calibre. One fruit of this is unnecessarily burdensome taxes. The gravity of this problem is emphasized by returns issued by the National Security League, showing the percentage of the total potential — that is, qualified — vote cast for United States Senators at the last elections. Think of it: one Senator was elected by 7 per cent. of the total possible vote. Another one by 9 per cent. Another polled 10 per cent. Minnesota's Farmer-Labor Senator, H. Shipstead, was sent to the Senate by 25 per cent of the potential voters. Hiram Johnson had less than 30 per cent. So did Senator Brookhart of Iowa. So did Senator La Follette. Senator Fragier of North Dakota attracted 35 per cent of the total qualified voters. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE "The most intense of human enjoyments is love; the most sensible is friendship; the most exciting is indeed glory." "Love is always the soul of every conversation in which women take part. Both women and men can debate this point with equal interest and warmth; and this has been the case since the human race has been taught to express their sentiments and ideas in words. There is a surprising variety in the expression of the many theories which are discussed, carrying according to the age of the speaker. But no one is sincere in his declarations. All have studied their parts and adapted their opinions and sympathies and feelings to the listeners. At least, it is so with men; they all boast either of easy loving or of being impenetrable."
