STRONGER NAVY SOUGHT IN HOUSE BILL The House has passed a measure which would bring the United States Navy up to the 5-5-3 ratio established by the conference. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur holds that American Navy be strengthened. The House has accepted the head of the Navy Department as to this. It would seem to be the part of wisdom in safeguarding for the United States to have all the naval strength permissable under its solemn agreement with other powers. To drop below the ratio agreed upon would cause the cause of peace. It might invite conditions which are the exact opposite of peace. This countly should be well prepared to defend itself against any assault not made upon it from any quarter. Naval strength maintained for offensive designs—nor should it be. But defensive power should be adequate. Secretary Wilbur adviser in this. Evidence is delving into the mysteries of volcanic action earthquakes...Compaaratively little is positively known these phenomena...But persistent observing, experimentally analyzing are leading to certain definite conclusions. PAY OF POSTAL WORKERS TO BE INCREASED PAY OF POSTAL WORKERS TO BE INCREASED Progress has just done something that should be greeted with approval all over the country—that is, increase the pay of 100,000 postal employees. The measure, as passed, will require and as it probably will be accepted by the House, will bring compensation up more nearly to a just and equitable level. This measure affects the humblest and least paid, as well as those who have more important positions in the postal service. The measure attempts to adjust compensation and to deal fairly with classifications in the service. This is but a work of justice to the army of faithful men who serve the public, in various capacities, in carriage on the Nation's system of mails. It is a huge enterprise in volume of mail transported and in extent of terri-terrored, than any other postal system under the sun. Postal employees, who give so zealously of their time, talent and skill to make the American postal service the success it is, must be given a just, living compensation for their services. The enactment of this measure into law should come before Congress adjourns. Help to promote respect for law by respecting law yourself. To waste water in California this summer would be dan-gerous folly. Postal employees should receive higher pay. Tell your bossman this.

Dr. Tigert said he RAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLLEN The most vital aspect of radio at present is the effect it will have on the fall presidential campaign when the candidates will have an opportunity to get in touch with voters all over the country thru the medium of the nation's broadcasting stations." So says James G. Harbord, retired general in the U. S. army and now president of the Radio Corporation of America. Says Harbord: "The chief difficulty in every national campaign has been to obtain personal contact with the people. The fact that candidates are described and written up in newspapers and magazines is not enough for the average voter. He wants to have a look at them himself, to try to get at the sincerity and motives that are behind each of them. This desire radio will help solve. "Why have presidential candidates in times past taken trips across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Minnesota to Louisiana? Is it because of the dozen or perhaps two dozen set speeches that they make in the largest cities? Not any more so, or probably not as much so, as it is for the opportunity that the trips give the candidates to make speeches from the back platforms of their trains at every landmass let the railroad runs" It's a mighty ole fashioned girl that haint in th' pink g condition these days.

JOHN J. TIGERT The rural school of today is the outstanding educational problem of the country, in the opinion of Dr. John J. Tigert, U.S. commissioner of education, expressed recently. Dr. Tigert, appointed to his position by President Harding, June 1, 1921, is in charge of educational work in Alaska and is the youngest man to hold such a position in the government service. Dr. Tigert accompanied President Harding on this trip to Alaska and went over educational problems with the chief executive while there. He has had broad educational experience in America and in England. Dr. Tigert was the first Rhodes scholar from Tennessee and received his M.A. degree from Oxford. He has received degrees from the University of Kentucky and from Rhode Island State college. "Nearly one-half of our children receive their education in the one-room country schools," Dr. Tigert said. "They are without proper educational equipment, often served by inexperienced teachers. As long as this condition exists, country children will be penalized in their struggle for existence." "Democracy, if it means anything, means that every boy and girl, whether living in the city or the country, should have an equal opportunity for the kind of education that will fit him or her best for the most successful living and for the highest type of citizenship." Dr. Tigert said he considered the motion picture method of ed- Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying IMPROVE NATIONAL PARKS—San Francisco Journal There is a bill before Congress appropriating $7,500,000 for the improvement and extension of the roads and trails in the national parks. The appropriation is based on a program extending over a period of three years. California has more than a passing interest in the success of the bill. Yosemite, Lassen Volcanic, Sequoia, and General Grant Parks are all listed in the general plan of improvement. The grandeur of the California scenery is one of the attractions that draws the tourist to the state. Yosemite is known the world over and tourists in certain seasons almost crowd it to the limit. But the state has other wonderlands, no less inspiring and no less marvellous in their beauty. They are little known because they have not been easy of access, and consequently have not received the wide advertising of other national parks in the state. Among these is Lassen Volcanic. The government contemplates expending more than $600,000 in building roads and trails in this park. It is to the advantage of the nature lovers of the Nation that they should be made easy of access. It is important to California to let the tourist know that when he enters any of our mountain playgrounds he will find the going good. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE "We are not disputing with our ancestors the palm of talent in which they may or may not be our superiors but with the palm of experience in which it is utterly impossible they can be our superiors. And yet, whenever the Chancellor (or supply the name of any one of a huge number of contemporaries) comes forward to protect some abuse, or to oppose some plan which has the increase of human happiness for its object, his first appeal is always to the wisdom of our ancestors. "We cannot of course be supposed to maintain that our ancestors wanted wisdom, or that they were necessarily mistaken in their institutions, because their means of information were more limited than ours. But we do confidently maintain that when we find it expedient to change anything our ancestors have enacted, we are the experienced persons, and not they." "We are not disputing with our ancestors the palm of talent in which they may or may not be our superiors, but with the palm of experience in which it is utterly impossible they can be our superiors.

We cannot of course be supposed to maintain that our ancestors wanted wisdom, or that they were necessarily mistaken in their institutions, because their means of information were more limited than ours. But we do confidently maintain that when we find it expedient to change anything our ancestors have enacted, we are the experienced persons, and not they. The quantity of talent is always varying in any great nation. To say that we are more or less able than our ancestors is an assertion that requires to be explained. All the able men of all ages, who have ever lived in England, probably possessed, if taken altogether, more intellect than all the able men England can now boast of. But if authority must be resorted to rather than reason, the question is, What was the wisdom of that single age which enacted the law, compared with the wisdom of the age which proposes to alter it? What are the eminent men of one and the other period? If you say our ancestors were wiser than us, give your date and year. If the splendor of names is equal, are the circumstances the same? If the circumstances are the same we have the superiority of experience, of which the difference between the two periods is the measure." Seven years of thorough satisfaction The Overland Freight Transfer Company of San Francisco operates over 125 pieces of automotive equipment, ranging in size from 10-ton Kleiber and G. M.

This Company has ample facilities for testing out various lubricating oils and basing their choice on proven success in service.

They write: “After seven years of thorough satisfaction covering the lubrication of our equipment with your Zerolene oils and greases, we are more than pleased to again enter into a contract for our requirements.” In spite of the fact that many automotive engineers are of the decided opinion that the most suitable crude for the manufacture of an automobile lubricant is produced right here on the Pacific Coast, a certain proportion of the motor-ing public is still influenced by the superstition that there is something mysteriously “better” about eastern oils, just because they cost more. Why pay tribute to a superstition? The Zerolene-lubricated car develops better gasoline mileage, accumulates less carbon, costs its owner less for upkeep, and lasts longer. Insist on Zerolene—a better oil—even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) WHY pay tribute to a SUPERSTITION?
