The constellations march through space. Days die in serenity and are born in splendor. The universe lavishes its largess for your delight; yet, of the infinite that it gives, how little you take in, how much less you assimilate! In what poverty you abide! What scanty measure you give out!—Mary Clemner Ames. FRUSTRATE DISTORTED WATER REPORT$ California faces a serious situation as to water supply. To deny this would be bald deception. Proper urging and warning are being given against wanton wasting of water. There is wise conservation throughout the state. Prudence dictates this. There is no concealment of the imperative need to conserve water with extreme care. Californians are rising to the critical situation with earnestness and fidelity, for the most part. Water is being conserved in greater measure than ever before in the history of the state. But there is a menace even greater than the menace of low reserve supply of water—the menace of misrepresentation and exaggeration. The state could be injured tremendously by systematic broadcasting, with hostile motive, of distorted, groundless reports as to the water situation. Let the word go forth—false word that it is—that California has a water famine; that its available supplies of water are giving our permanently; and that the state gradually but surely is passing into a rainless condition, presaging reversion to desert waste, and immeasurable harm would result. Watch for the glaring misrepresentations which enemies of California or those who carry a grudge against this state may circulate. Deny these with vigor. Say and do all possible to counteract any expression or impression that would por- low reserve supply of water—the menace of misrepresentation and exaggeration.

Watch for the glaring misrepresentations which enemies of California or those who carry a grudge against this state may circulate. Deny these with vigor. Say and do all possible to counteract any expression or impression that would portray California as being hopelessly bankrupt in water supply. Religion is a mockery if it be not practised in sincerity in every day life. California must hoard its water as the miser his gold. WASHINGTON CENTER OF POLITICAL WORK Washington is to be a double capital this year—the capital of the nation and the capital of national political management. The real headquarters of Republican, Democratic and La Follette party effort will be Washington. There the important party conferences are held. There the plans of campaign will be laid. There the ways and means of conducting the canvass of each of the three major parties will be devised. All three presidential candidates are intimately associated with public life in Washington. Mr. Coolidge, of course, is official resident of Washington. Mr. Davis long resided there as member of Congress and as a high official of the Department of State. Mr. La Follette also is an official resident of Washington, by virtue of his membership in the United States senate. The party managers are familiar with life in Washington. In truth, each and all of the political parties have interests centered in Washington. Hence, the national capital will be the great national political clearing house this year.

As to the World Court did you ever see an umpire who pleased both sides? A permanent wave isn't really permanent—unless you're talking about the crime wave. A silent campaign has its advantages, but it is going to be hard on General Dawes. To say that a candidate is a "safe" man is to say that we won't disturb existing grafts. The man who howls loudest about the way the country is run seldom has time to vote. Think how vexed the boxed speeder would be if he knew how slowly the hearse travels.

Through discoveries made by Dr. Dick of Chicago, it is now possible to determine what children are susceptible to scarlet fever and to immunize them against the disease. Scientists are about to announce the discovery of a new serum treatment for pneumonia. When that discovery is announced the enemies of science will have another opportunity to cry—"Vile Poison."

Anybody should be able to remember two million laws. What has become of the old-fashioned mother who was afraid her baby's liver would turn over? Another way to cure a lame back is to wait patiently until friend wife gets the lawn mowed. Before the nomination: "He won't do." After the nomination: "He is the logical candidate and I shall support him." Correct this sentence: "Billy and I are pals," said the wife; "and he enjoys taking me every where he goes." (Protected by Associated Editors, Inc.) POEMS THAT LIVE WHEN WILL LOVE COME? Some find Love late, some find him soon, Some with the rose in May, Some with the nightingale in June, And some when skies are gray; Love comes to some with smiling eyes, And comes with tears to some; For some Love sings, for some Love sighs, For some Love's lips are dumb. How will you come to me, fair Love? Will you come late or soon? With sad or smiling skies above, By light of sun or moon? Will you be sad, will you be sweet, Sing, sigh, Love, or be dumb? Will it be summer when we meet, Or autumn are you come? —Pakenham Beatty, There's no use in trying to soft soap a case of hard arteries The city health officer is the guardian of the people's health and his function is, or should be, to prevent rather than treat sickness.

TAGGART USED CAR DEPARTMENT 802 North Los Angeles St. TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying RHEIMS CATHEDRAL TO RISE AGAIN—San Francisco Journal Great wealth today in the hands of a man who appreciates what it means carries with it commensurate duties and obligations. Few have used theirs to greater advantage and good to the human race than John D. Rockefeller, Sr., in his hospital and medical research work in China, Egypt and other parts of the world. As a benefit to untold millions of suffering humanity, the results have already been beyond the limit of any one article to describe. But none the less important, though in a spiritual way, is the recently announced gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., of $1,000,000 to restore the Rheims Cathedral and other artistic monuments of France. The destruction of the cathedral by the German guns was one of the great tragedies of the world war, and there were reports at the time that its ruins would be left to stand and go down the ages as an example of German atrocity. But as the bitterness of war wear away, and one realizes that the cultivation of hate leads to nothing good, the spiritual value and beauty of the great cathedral, not only to France but to the world, again assumes its proper prospective. It was completed in the thirteenth century, and the French kings used to be crowned there; its facade was one of the most perfect masterpieces of the middle ages, and its stained glass windows were one of the glories of the world. Rheims was a town of importance even in the time of Caesar. The news that the cathedral is again to rise from the ruins of war causes a thrill to those who love it for what it was and for what it stands. The importance of beauty to the world cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents, but the alchemist who transmutes money into a thing of eternal beauty is a benefactor to the human race. We commend Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., for his wise and generous gift. It is a great tribute to his far-seeing intelligence. VENTURES IN SANSKRIT COMMON SENSE Sanskrit philosophy appears difficult, tedious, obtuse, forbidding in print. Translation dispels this impression. The Sanskrit philosophy does not lean far toward fatalism. It holds that "As a potter formeth the lump of clay into whatever shape he liketh, even so may a man regulate his own actions." Here are some of Sanskrit proverbs: VENTURES IN SANSKRIT COMMON SENSE Sanskrit philosophy appears difficult, tedious, obtuse, forbidding in print. Translation dispels this impression. The Sanskrit philosophy does not lean far toward fatalism. It holds that "As a potter formeth the lump of clay into whatever shape he liketh, even so may a man regulate his own actions." Here are some of Sanskrit proverbs: In a strong position, even a coward is a lion. A fool is honored in his own house; a proprietor is honored in his own village; a king is honored in his own country; and a learned man is honored everywhere. Is there anything naturally beautiful or not beautiful? What is pleasing to anyone, that is beautiful to him. Silence is half-consent. Non-injury is the highest religion. The defect of poverty is the destroyer of a host of virtues. Liberality, sweetness of speech, courage, judgment, these four natural qualities are not attained by practice. The way of justice is mysterious. Little learning, much pride. Wealth stops at the house, friends and relatives at the grave; good deeds and evil deeds follow the dying man. Success in an undertaking rests in the strength of the great man, not in the means. If a man with eyes is led by somebody else, it is clear that he does not see with his eyes. By delay (in using it) nectar becomes poison. Superiority is not in seniority. A fool looks well at a distance; a fool shines so long as he says nothing. Who has reached the limit of desire.
