EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS O happy earth! O home so well beloved! What recompense have we from thee removed! One hope we have that overtops the whole— The hope of finding every vanished soul We love and long for daily, and for this Gladly we turn from thee, and all thy bliss, Even at thy loveliest, when the days are long, And little birds break out in rippling song. —Celia Thaxter. WORLD COURT FAVORED BY CLUB WOMEN The general Federation of Women's Clubs, in biennial session at Los Angeles, declared strongly for the promotion of world peace, through adhesion, by the United States, to the World Court. Furthermore, all political parties are urged to provide all cooperation with the nations "for peace by applying the same principle for the settlement of differences between sovereign nations with the United States that has proven to be so effective between the sovereign states within this Union." The action of the club women was unanimous and very enthusiastic. This is one of several pronouncements and movements which stress the strength of sentiment in this country in favor of fostering world peace through a great international tribunal for the settlement of differences between nations. The old days of bullet and bludgeon, sword and slaughter, are passing. The thought and the yearning of the world are toward peace. The cause of peace is stronger, more popular, more constructive than it ever has been. The United States should assume and maintain leadership in well digested, unobjectionable plans for advancing peace throughout the world. The reform broom must be real, to sweep clean.

The foot and mouth disease in California has just passed into the past tense. California is a delight, any month in the year, to those who visit. Too much history has been written in human blood. The future should see history written in terms of peaceful service and uplift of the race. Not a firetrap should be tolerated in this state for housing the defectives.

Drat this publicity of income taxes. Even a good liar won't and a chance now. One can be born among the 400, but genius is required to qualify with the 400 hitters. The office high-brow has leashed three little countries America hasn't offended in a year. At this rate it won't be long until people won't accept the word of anybody except the boot-gger. A bachelor is a man who can buy a suit without feeling that he is depriving somebody of a rock. A republic is a land in which the generation bears its arms and the next its backs. Once people were boiled in oil, but in this jitney are the worst that happens is that you get saked. The backbone of America is composed of the class that worries because the kids are so hard in shoes. Some ignorant people don't know how to raise children and just stump them and make fine citizens of them. Given a fair chance, any good man can hear money talking and believe it to call ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES "I once knew a man, dear boy," began Baggs, "who was so ticklish on the soles of his feet that whenever he hook a bath he had to walk about afterward on a blotter. It was the only method of foot drying that wouldn't throw him into fits." "That's nothing!" retorted Jagga. "I used to board at a place where the landlady was so nervous whenever the wind blew she had to go out and grease the corners of the house, so that the wind wouldn't creak when it weat around them." It had been an exciting game, a tie in the twelfth innning, but the home team finally had won. A group of home-bound commuters on the 6:25 were discussing the game heatedly, when suddenly one sprang to his feet with the exclamation, "Great Scott!" "What's up?" somebody asked. "Lost your watch?" "Watch be hanged!" cried the passenger. "I've left my wife asleep in the grandstand, and she's got my return ticket!" "Well, well, Joe, we haven't met for 20 years. If you remember, at our last meeting we ate half a young turkey. Let's try the same dish tonight." They gave the order and the waiter filled it. The old chum wielded a knife vigorously for a time and then broke the silence. "Jack," asked he, "do you know what I think?" "No." "I think this is the other half of that turkey."

The backbone of America is composed of the class that worries because the kids are so hard on shoes. Some ignorant people don't know how to raise children and just spank them and make fine citizens of them. Given a fair chance, any good man can hear money talking and make himself believe it the call of duty. America is learning much of culture, but is yet unable to enshure over an artist whose name can be pronounced. The penalty for staging naughty shows is that when when the limit is reached the public will demand some real acting. If a woman asks to see something more expensive, that means she is killing time while waiting for a friend. We are old-fashioned; and if he is 60, we'd rather hear him call some lady "Mother" than to hear him call one "Sweetie." J. Z. B. reminds us that Job cursed the day he was born and insists this is the earliest authenticity case of infant damnation. It is a hard world, and the daintiest shoes never seem to fit anything except the little pedestals in the show window. Our worthless guess is that statesmen will be able to hold their jobs for at least 20 years without knowing how to write an ultimatum.

Hart presided over an attractively arranged affair Saturday evening at the latter's home on North Olive street, Santa Ana, which was given in the way of a kitchen shower. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying NEW WORDS DEPEND ON PUBLIC WHIMS (Stockton Independent) It is now proposed to substitute "radiocast" for "broadcast." The new word is distinctive and specific. It has the advantage of precision. For that reason it ought to come into general use, but whether it will or not depends entirely upon the whim of the public—which is what makes words, after all. Etymology, precision and all the reasons in the world are as nothing compared with usage. Usage is king in language, and often a pure despot. This is well illustrated in the vocabulary that the automobile introduced. First we were careful to use the word automobile (even if it were of mixed Greek and Latin parentage) and chauffeur (with a little guilty hesitancy as to our pronunciation) and garage. Of the three, garage is showing the only tendency to hold its own. For in place of the definitely specific automobile (or auto, for short), do we not much more frequently and familiarly speak of "the car" or "the machine." Both car and machine are more generic terms. Car perimits of confusion with railroad cars, street cars, hand cars and all types of cars that long preceded the gasoline propelled vehicle. Machines include everything mechanical from threshing outfits to typewriters. Something of the same tendency of popular speech is seen in the use of "gas" for gasoline. When we see a headline noancing that the price of "gas" has gone up or down we perforce must read the news to determine whether the information has reference to our kitchen or our garage. So we're for "radiocast" as having a single and oblivious meaning; but if the public insists on "broadcast" we humbly submit to the verdict. Radiocast has four syllables and does not come tripping from the tongue. Neither has it so pure an Anglo-Saxon origin. We suspect the public will stick to "broadcast" and, what is worse, "broadcasted." But then, radiocast is susceptible of the same past tensing... Quien sabe! As a pro-nuptial courtesy to Miss Thelma Hatfield of Brea, whose wedding to Wilbur, Proud or not, be an event of the bride month, Mrs. J. L. Harbert of Fullerton and Mrs. G. E. Hart presided over an attractively arranged affair Saturday evening at the latter's home on North Olive street, Santa Ana, which was given in the way of a kitchen shower. The early part of the evening was spent in hemming towels for the bride's chest, after which each guest wrote her favorite recipe for the bride's cook book. When the time arrived the gifts were presented in pink and blue. After the unwrapping of the gifts was over, and the gifts admired, delicious refreshments were served.

Baskets of pink and white roses were used to make the home beautiful. The centerpiece for the table was a birthday cake centered in a bed of roses.
