LURE OF THE OPEN ROAD IS UPON ALL "The call of the open road!" What a tang of romance there is to this, in this magnificent Golden State, with its 10,000 scenes of wonder and vistas of beauty! With its balmy days and its cool, refreshing nights! With glass-smooth highways leading over the hills and through the vales, and far away to beach, or mountain, or woodland or lake! It is vacation time—the glory time of the year—in California, to tens of thousands. It is time to tuck work and cares away in moth balls so to speak—time to pack the gun, or rod, or tent, or books, or hammers, and to look the trusty family car over and get "all set" for the spin over the glowing highways and byways to the chosen spot for the year's outing. The evolution of the automobile has made California the most inviting region in all the land for going about and choosing a vacation spot and enjoying nature on the way. It is the choice of many to go from place to place—to travel about, camping on the way, as fancy may dictate. Many others have a specific objective when they start—some vacation ground which appeals to their liking. However it may be planned, the vacation is made delightful, thanks to automobiles and fine highways—and thanks to the incomparable quality of California climate and scenery. FOREST FIRES FOUGHT BY CITIZEN ARMY FOREST FIRES FOUGHT BY CITIZEN ARMY California is menaced by an enemy as real and relentless as an invading hostile foreign force. It is the hazard of fire in forests—a very real hazard. The flames are wreaking destruction frightfully. State and federal guardians of forests are unable to check the ongoing conflagration. In this emergency the California Development Association of San Francisco, has issued an urgent appeal to businessmen and others to volunteer quickly to give any aid possible in fighting the fires. Mayors of cities all over the state have been appealed to in this defensive campaign. They are asked to urge their citizens to join in this great volunteer movement to protect the forests of California against the most threatening situation that ever has been experienced. This is a crisis of the gravest character. Not only are the stifundous timber interests of the state—worth a king's ransom—and endangered, but cities, towns and rural districts, as well as manufacturing plants, are imperiled. Furthermore, devastating of water sheds would mean greatly increased dangers from floods and consequent lowering of the reserve supplies of water in the highlands. The whole state should be aroused over this imminent and very real peril. There should be the most earnest, vigorous and practical co-operation, to fight the flames to a finish and to enforce, with extreme rigidity, the rules and regulations providing against carelessness with fire in forest reserves.

ABE MARTIN DINNERSTORIES A rich and listless lady patron examined the handbags in a leading jeweler's shop in New York City. The clerk exhibited one bag five inches square, made of platinum and with one side almost covered with a setting of diamonds. This was offered at a price of $9000. But the lady surveyed the expensive banble without enthusiasm. She turned it from side to side and over and over, regarding it with a critical eye and frowning disapprovingly. At last she voiced her comment: "Rather pretty, but I don't like this side without diamonds. Honestly, the thing looks skimpy—decidedly skimpy!" For $7000 additional, the objectionable skimpiness was corrected. A school teacher had a birthday, and the children of her school brought gifts to her in the shape of flowers and candy.

Orange co., per year $3; 6 months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter WHOS WHO IN THE DAY'S NEWS MAJ. JAMES F. COUPAL The man who will have the task of keeping President Coolidge fit the next four years—should Coolidge be re-elected, is Major James F. Coupal. The major has been designated White House doctor, to succeed Brig. Gen. Sawyer. The ever increasing duties imposed on the chief executive make the personal physician's task an important one. Maj. Coupal, a member of the regular army medical staff, is a native of Massachusetts and made the acquaintance of the president when he was assigned to act as his physician when Coolidge went to Washington as vice-president. A warm friendship sprang up at that time, and when the Coolidges moved to the White House it was generally understood that Major Coupal would continue to be the president's personal physician. He did indeed continue in this capacity, but without formal appointment since Dr. Sawyer was reluctant to resign and the president was unwilling to oust him. Major Coupal saw service overseas with the Twenty-sixth New England division, and also with the regular army at the Mexican border during the punitive expedition against Villa. At the present time he is curator of the Army Medical Museum at Washington. He has attained considerable reputation in medical circles for research work and as a surgeon, and has written widely on medical subjects. He is a graduate of Tufts Medical School. It is not expected that the present appointment will result in any special promotion for Major Coupal, as the president is not disposed to follow the precedent of the previous handling who made his Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying WONDERS WROUGHT FOR HUMAN EYE—Riverside Press The human eye is a wonderful mirror. It reflects upon the retina and thence to the brain the rays of light of every object within its field of vision. These pictures may not come within our consciousness, but they are registered in the brain just the same. Often in later years they come before our minds and seem to have a strange familiarity and we wonder what they are, calling them dreams and fancies, while they are merely unrecognized records of what we have actually seen. But that is not all the eye does. With the aid of properly shaped glass lenses, it is able to gather in the rays of light from a much broader field and thus extend to great distances the ability of the eye to record objects on the brain. Thus we have the story of the stars as we read it today, so different from the story known to our ancestors who knew not the telescope. Also we have the story of the almost infinitely small objects we call microbes, about which our predecessors of only a few years ago knew nothing at all. But extending the field of vision millions of miles into the sky and 10,000 times into the minute is not all that is being done to make those brain records, the libraries of our minds, which some of us catalogue and use, some do not. Creating new fields of vision, beyond the reach of the eye in a direct line is another triumph of science. For some time we have been promised a telephone which would project in front of us the portrait of the person at the other end of the line to whom we were talking. This has not been done as yet in a practical manner. We are also promised the sending of portraits by wire, and this has actually been accomplished, and such portraits have been published in newspapers, but this also has not reached desirable perfection. Now we are promised that an entire moving picture will be transmitted by wireless and reproduced anywhere and simultaneously in many places by those who have the required apparatus. It is proposed to take pictures of events as they occur, such as the Olympic games in Paris, it ready by that time, and transform the light waves into sound waves, broadcast them, and at the receiving end retransform then into light waves and project them upon a screen.

At the present time he is curator of the Army Medical Museum at Washington. He has attained considerable reputation in medical circles for research work and as a surgeon, and has written widely on medical subjects. He is a graduate of Tufts Medical School. It is not expected that the present appointment will result in any special promotion for Major Coupal, as the president is not disposed to follow the precedent of President Harding, who made his personal physician a Brigadier General and of President Wilson who promoted his personal physician to be a rear admiral. Major Coupal will, however, be relieved from his present assignment at the Army Medical Museum. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F.

DECENCY IN MOTION PICTURES—Fresno Republican Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, says that—"The films must not violate or attack the decency of the home, the school or the morals of the American people." And Rupert Hughes, one of the few prominent novelists of the present day who has gone seriously into composition for the screen, tells us through the medium of the federation convention, "censorship is one of the great modern evils." Barring the slightly exaggerated rhetoric used by Mr. Hughes, both these opinions are doubtless true. But they are put up, to conflict. They imply that uncensored films will be indecent. Or they imply that decent films can only be obtained by the application of destructive censorship. Evidently we have by no means progressed far in our motion picture art personnel, if the writers and the managers cannot respond to a general sense of decency without restriction from the law. The police laws are always made for the small minority, not the vast majority of the population. The innocent minority can only effect their rights by the power of persuasion, not by an appeal to force, or to the law. Hughes is right. Censorship by the law, is an evil. One to be tolerated only in being applied to a small and contumacious minority. Mrs. Winter is right. The American people are going to provide for themselves decency in the home, the schools and in the general morals of the country. In spite of these cruzaders for their own opinions we can have both.
