AIR MAIL HERE SOON, IS IN PROSPECT There seems to be definite prospect that Los Angeles and Southern California may get transcontinental air mail direct, in the near future. It is reported that the Federal Government contemplates putting on another transcontinental route, with its terminus at Los Angeles. It has been represented to Washington that a vast deal of mail originates in Los Angeles and surrounding cities which should go by air. Complaint is made that too much time is lost in sending this by rail, to be changed to the air route in the north. It is only a question of time when Southern California will have direct transcontinental air mail. It may be only a short time. There is a large population here, and an immense volume of correspondence of important nature with the East. There is urgent need of air mail across the continent touching the important cities of this section. SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC AGAINST CRIME That the probation law is administered, at times, in a manner to cause the public grave apprehension is indicated by figures coming from the Los Angeles Crime Commission. According to this organization criminals who have been convicted of manslaughter, robbery, burglary, criminal assault, and other violent offences, have been granted probation. The state probation law is a praiseworthy statute. It vests in the courts the authority to give those accused and convicted of unlawful offences, their chance to reclaim themselves and to become useful, orderly members of society. This human reclamation is exceedingly important. Upon it pivot all the efforts for penological reform in this country. In cases where the offender is not a hardened criminal; where there is reason That the probation law is administered, at times, in a manner to cause the public grave apprehension is indicated by figures coming from the Los Angeles Crime Commission.

This human reclamation is exceedingly important. Upon it pivot all the efforts for penological reform in this country. In cases where the offender is not a hardened criminal; where there is reasonable hope of effecting reformation, it is proper and commendable that probation should be extended. But— This prerogative of granting probation should be exercised with extreme care, it will be admitted. While the utmost should be done to reclaim the reclaimable among law-breakers, yet the public must be considered. The public has right to expect and to demand that it be protected against dangerous criminals, that the processes of law and justice should keep in restraint those who are inclined systematically toward separate crimes. It would be manifest folly and dangerous procedure, to maintain elaborate legal machinery for apprehending and convicting dangerous criminals, only to have them turned loose, after conviction, again to imperil human life and property.

"What is the matter?" sympathetically inquired his friend, the thin carpenter. "My wife's a movie fan—" "That's too bad." Yes, and she has formed the habit of dressing like any particular star that strikes her fancy. The other day she came home with her hair fixed like Mary Pickford's.

A troop of barnstormers out from Liverpool were in imminent danger of stranding in Wales. "We got to get out of Wales before we strand," declared one, "and that's all there is to it."

Be sure that I will take the selfsame way. To the hill-crest, and shoreward, down the gray. Sheer, graveled slope, where vetches straggling grow. Look for me not when gusts of winter blow, When at thy pane beat hands of sheet and snow: I would not come thy dear eyes to affray. If spirits walk. But when, in June, the pines are whispering low, And when their breath plays with thy bright hair so. As some one's fingers once were used to play— That hour when birds leave song, and children pray. Keep the old tryst, sweetheart, and throw shalt know. If spirits walk. Sophie Jewett, WHO'S WHO IN THE PAYS NEWS DR. WILLIAM ALLEN FUSEY Socialization of the medical profession was hit by Dr. William Allen Pusey, new president of the American Medical Association in his address following his inauguration. The ancient responsibility of the profession—treating the sick and injured—rather than reforms by organization, wholesale medical programs and government apoon feeding was held up as an ideal. President Coelidge was commended by Dr. Pusey for his "wise statemanship" in "taking a definite stand against federal support" of a wide range of socialized activities. He's a Kentuckian Dr. William Allen Pusey, descendant of a family of pioneer Kentuckians, was born in Eliza bethtown, Ky., in 1865. His father was a physician. On his mother's side there is another president of the American Medical Association, for her grandfather was also the grandfather of Dr. John T. Hodgen, of St. Louis, one of the most famous surgeons of his day, inventor of the Rodgen splint. Having graduated from Vanderbilt University and from the Medical School of the University of New York City, he took post graduate training at home and abroad, and then began practice in Chicago in 1893. He was for many years professor of Dermatology in the University of Illinois, resigning a few years ago. He was Treasurer of the American Medical Association for eleven years, Chairman of the Section of Cutaneous Diseases of the American Medical Association in 1908; twice President of the Chicago Dermatological Society; President of the Chicago Medical Society in 1920, and of the American Dermatological Association in 1910. Known as Author Dr. Pusey has been a constant contributor to dermatological literature. He was a pioneer in the therapeutic use of X-ray and COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying ART REVEALS ANCIENT SECRETS—Sacramento Bee George Ade once said the only men who are literary are those who have to work at it. Employ the word "artistic" instead of "literary," and the saying is as good, and as true. Most "practical" people feel contempt for the arts, a contempt which the artist liberally returns. And it cannot be denied that the "practical" people generally make their theory of life pay. But now and then the artist has his innings—even if they come centuries too late to do him any good. Take archeology for example. There has been a great deal of digging into buried civilizations. Ur of the Chaldee, King Tut's tomb, the Maya cities in Yucatan—all have been more or less unearthed. And now learned books are being written about the life which once was lived in these places. How do the writers know what kind of life was lived there? Chiefly by fragments of art—pottery, sculpture, engraving, wood, wall paintings. And the less "practical" the thing the more information it generally yields. For it is when man plays or carves or paints or otherwise enjoys himself, that he most reveals his innest dreams, aspirations and ideals. And so it comes that the fragments of a temple yield no clue to what sort of gods were worshipped there, until a bit of broken idol reveals the secret, and with it the knowledge of what manner of man worshipped. If we could find one of Cleopatra's bridelets we might know more of her than either Plutarch or Shakespeare could tell. INEXORABLE NATURE In his works you will find these things said about Nature: She creates new forms without end; what exists now, never was before; what was, comes not again; all is new and yet always the old. Individuality seems to be all her aim, and she cares not for individuals. She is always building and destroying, and her workshop is not to be approached. Nature lives in her children only, and the mother, where is she? She is the sole artist—out of the simplest materials the greatest diversity; attaining with no trace of effort, the finest perfection, the closest precision, always softly veiled. Each of her works has an essence of its own: every shape that she takes is an idea utterly isolated; and yet all forms she. There is constant life in her motion and development, and yet she remains where she was. She is eternally changing, nor for a moment does she stand Known as Author: Dr. Pusey has been a constant contributor to dermatological literature. He was a pioneer in the therapeutic use of X-rays and his book Therapeutic Use of X-rays, published in 1903, covered most of the uses of this agent in treatment that have been found available. His work is recorded at that time, constituted landmark in X-ray therapy. During the war, Dr. Pusey was invited by the Surgeon-General of the army to take charge of venereal and skin diseases in the army in this country. He is was who devised the practical and effective program for the handling of the venereal problem in the Army in the U.S. during World War.
