That the meanest man is seldom proud of his distinctions. That a profane man would hardly be willing to be at his word. That to argue about religion is a poor way to demonize our piety. That too many of us listen to a new idea with our dices. PANAMA CANAL DOES BIG BUSINESS The Panama Canal is advancing phenomenally in of traffic and in earnings. The tenth fiscal year of the operation, which ended last June 30, surpassed any real made. A grand total of 5,618 ocean-going ships went the canal during the year. Total tolls collected $24,970 or an average of more than $2,000,000 monthly. Total tonnage passing through the canal more than 27,218,000 monthly figure of more than 2,268,000 tons. These showed very substantial gains over the previous fiscal an increase of more than 31 per cent in number of passing through the canal; an increase in tonnage than 40 per cent; increase in tolls, more than 38 per cent. This showing is extremely gratifying to America denotes rapid strides in favor for this great waterway channel for world commerce. Not only is the intercosmic fric of the United States through the canal vast, but its traffic also is tremendous.

Frequently a golf bag on toe front porch indicates unpulled weeds in the back yard. Think how inlanders must suffer if they have a good shape and no beach to expose it on. Heinie should worry. When he is ready to fight again present par implements will be obsolete anyway. Another good way to retain the love of a husband is to warn him in time that you have painted the kitchen chairs. Never spell "progressive" with a capital "p." If he has the capital he is a conservative. Japan is cooling down nicely; it isn't so very difficult to forgive a generous customer. Most of the plug cut is consumed now in districts where dancing is considered wicked still. And so insane are slipping into this country. Well, let them be natural and they won't be noticed. The sum Germany must pay hasn't been fixed, and the American taxpayer should know how she feels. If the law required everybody to attend to his own business there wouldn't be much need of other laws. Every time a rich man is tried for murder, we have to learn to spell that darned word "psychiatrist" again. WHOS WHO IN THE PAYE MEMBER VISCOUNT KIJUHIRO ISHII In selecting Viscount Kijuhiro Ishii as ambassador to the United States to succeed Masano Hauhara, Japan is not sending a stranger to the American capital. Viscount Ishii was sent to Washington in 1907 in connection with the difficult situation which arose at that time due to the anti-Japanese disturbances. He made another trivial as a special envoy to the Lansing-Ishii agree as vice-minister of fairs and in 1916 as minister he conducted relations with Washih views regarding relations his country and America ways carried an optimistic He, is now ambassador France.

ANAHEIM COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying ABETTING LAWLESS MOTORISTS—Sacramento Bee One of the greatest difficulties encountered by the courts in their effort to deal effectively with reckless drivers is provided by people who consider themselves, and in most respects are, good citizens. This is the habit of settling out of court for damages incurred in accidents. It is a very human failing. It is quite natural that a man should rather have his car repaired than send another man to jail. Yet it does very seriously impair the effectiveness of the law. For all accidents do not happen under the watchful eye of a traffic cop, not concerned over damages, but merely over the law. Consequently, in many cases of collision caused by recklessness there is only one person to swear out a complaint and prosecute, and that is the injured party. So, to avoid unpleasantness, or to get his paint job renewed at no cost to himself, he fails to prosecute. Of course, the man who settles in this fashion is really compounding a crime. But that probably never enters his head. He is concerned over his car and his pocket, not over the law or his fellow citizens who may later be bumped by the same driver. And if told he is a bad citizen; he would be angry; while if one informed him the law can be no stronger than the support it receives from the public, he would be bored. Gleanings Book Five USELL'S WORK It is assumed by most persons nowadays that all work is useful, and by most well-to-do persons that all work is desirable. William Morris was one who vigorously disagreed with these assumptions. In an essay, "Useless Work," he wrote: Nature gives us absolutely nothing; we must win it by toll of some sort or degree. The race of man must either labor or perish. Let us see, then, if she does not give us some compensation for this compulsion to labor, since certainly in other matters she takes care to make the acts necessary to the continuance of life in the individual and the race not only endurable, but even pleasurable. Yet, first, we must say... that there is some labor which is so far from being a blessing that it is a curse; that it would be better for the community and for the worker if the latter were to fold his hands and refuse to work, and either die or let us pass him off. ful, and by most well-to-do persons that all work is desirable.

Yet, first, we must say... that there is some labor which is so far from being a blessing that it is a curse; that it would be better for the community and for the worker if the latter were to fold his hands and refuse to work, and either die or let us pass him off to the workhouse or prison—which you will. Here, you see, are two kinds of work—one good, the other bad; one not far removed from a blessing; a lightening of life, the other a mere curse, a burden to life. What is the difference between them, then? This: the one has hope in it, the other has not. It is manly to do the one kind of work, and manly also to refuse to do the other. What is the nature of the hope, which, when it is present in the work, makes it worth doing? It is three-fold, I think—hope of rest, hope of product, hope of pleasure in the work itself; and hope of those also in some abundance and of good quality; rest enough and good enough to be worth having; product worth having by one who is neither a fool nor an ascetic; pleasure enough for all of us to be conscious of it while we are at work; not amere habit, the loss of which we feel as a fidgety man feels the loss of the bit of string he fidgets with. Thus worthy work carries with it the hope of pleasure in rest, the hope of the pleasure in our using what it makes, and the hope of pleasure in our daily creative skill. All other work but this is worthless; it is slaves' work—merely to live, that we may live to toll. The S. Q. R. Store y, Fellows! To the First 50 Boys, a 50c BALL FREE! WITH EVERY PAIR OF BALL FREE!
