CALIFORNIA CARES FOR ITS HELPLESS California, in the main, cares well for its helpless. The blind, the insane, the aged and infirm, the orphaned children—all receive much care-taking attention. It is true that complaints sometimes are heard as to inadequacy of housing accommodations for the state's unfortunate wards. Nevertheless a great deal is done, and great sums are expended from state revenues to care for these unfortunate. Private philanthropy also does a great deal toward ameliorating the plight of the helpless. Homes for the aged are maintained in many localities from private funds, cheerfully donated. Orphanages, too. In this day of systematic helpfulness toward the helpless and afflicted, much is accomplished that is not exploited. This is noble work. It partakes of the spirit of Christ, who, in His earthly ministry, was especially tender, helpful and inspiriting toward the afflicted and helpless. The test of good citizenship is its activity. There is no such thing as dormant, lethargic good citizenship. For if it be dormant and lethargic, it is not good citizenship. RESCUE OF ITALIAN IN ARCTIC WATERS The indefatigable efforts of United States Navy forces succeeded in rescuing alive Lieut. Locatelli and companions, in the open sea, off Greenland.

The Italian aviator, who essayed to hop off with the American flyers from Iceland to Greenland, was forced down by engine trouble. When his disappearance from the flight was noted, and extensive and intensive search was instituted by American naval forces, the hunt thrilled the world. That it succeeded is source of gratification throughout this country, as well as in Italy and Europe. In expressing appreciative thanks of the government and people of Italy, Premier Mussolini commented upon "that most noble proof of human solidarity and comradeship performed by the American forces." This is a just observation. The solicitude of the government and people of the United States for the safety of the brave Italian flyer is "noble proof of human solidarity and comradeship." It is pleasing to assume that the Italian naval forces would have been assiduous, too, in searching for an American, had the situation been reversed. There is a solidarity and a comradeship among civilized peoples that is inspiring. Real patriotism is lived, not merely talked. There is no better slogan for the national campaign than honesty and economy in government. The fight for good principles is never lost, although there may be temporary reverses. Additional reductions in federal taxation may be expected from the next administration. All three of the major political parties are committed to reduction of taxes. Good citizenship demands habitual, intelligent voting. There should be an intelligent ballot, backed by conviction, from every eligible voter in every election if at all possible for the voter to get to the polls. Unequaled Driving East At All Speeds The four-wheel brakes—Chrysler-Lockheed hydraulic type—we believe to be the simplest and most efficient in existence today. They are automatically and permanently equalized. Each individual wheel receives precisely the same braking pressure each time the brakes are applied. These brakes require no lubrication. There is not a single rod or strut to rattle. Also among the numerous Chrysler six features are the centrifugal air cleaner which purges the air taken in by the carburetor; and an oil-filter which thoroughly cleans all the oil in the crankcase every 25 miles, promoting economy and long life.

The Chrysler Six Pronounced as though spelled, Cyrfalz With a touring car weight, read the road, of 2705 pounds, the Chrysler Six can be driven in comfort at miles and upwards over rutted and cobbled streets. Its Chrome-Molybdenum tubing front axle and pivotal steering ball thrust bearing king pins, made easy to handle at speeds of 60 mph as at 30 to 35. A new type of spring mounting springs close to the hubs and pass to the wheels, makes it possible drive the Chrysler Six around 50 miles an hour. Side-sway and weaving are eliminated. We invite you to study at first the new standard of performance established by its scientific design engineering. We are pleased to extend the convenience of time-payments. Ask about Chrysler's attractive plans. Dealers Everywhere Frank P. Taggart 228 W. CENTER ST. PHOTO ANAHEIM, CALIF. DAWES PLAN RESTORES HOPE OF EUROPE." SAYS HERRICK The hope of Europe has been restored through the Dawes plan. Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to France, said recently. He is now back in the U.S. for a brief visit. "It has come to the point," said Herrick, "where an understanding can be reached. Each one of the nations involved in the war realizes defeat—victor and vanquished alike—and each consequently has been striving with every effort for five years to reach a settlement. "The world is not ready for idealism," he continued, "but the nations have adopted the rules and principles that govern business organizations. After groping for five years in vain, the hope of the world has been restored and rests upon the Dawes plan." They have been trying to subserve their self-interest, but they now realize that the Dawes plan is a settlement which unequivably is the beginning of the end. Without knowing it Mr. Herrick hit upon the phrase that President Coolidge employed the other day in his address formally accepting the Republican nomination for president—"common sense." They had been groping over there, trying to pull something tangible out of the ether," asserts the ambassador, "but proceeding on the old theory of European diplomacy. Then Dawes with the American viewpoint came over, and with the aid of the American committee of experts employing a common sense viewpoint they have settled the whole affair—it was common sense." WHO'S WHC IN THE DAYS NEW CAMILLE FLAMMARION WHO'S WHAT IN THE DAY'S NEW CAMILLE FLAMMARION Interest is drawn to Camille Flammarion author of "Dreams of an Astronomer" which contains an account of a trip to Mars, because that planet travels closer to the earth this year than it ever will approach in the lifetime of any living person. Flammarion entered Paris Observatory as astronomer in training, in 1858 at the age of 16. Since then he has devoted himself entirely to astronomy. He founded a monthly review, L'Astronomie, the Observatory at Juvisy and the Astronomical Society of France. Among his works: Marvels of the Heavens, The Atmosphere, Urania, Omega, The Last Days of the World, Astronomy of Amateurs. For 58 years, he has never taken a penny of author's right for his work. Annuale Astronomique, published annually. Out of sheer admiration for his selfless devotion to his studies, one M. Meret provided him with a country estate, "La Cour de France," upon which M. Flammarion erected the Observatory of Juvisy, and where he to this day is fascinated by the study of the planets—in particular Mars. INVENTS CAMERA To prevent tearing the films a residnet of Brooklyn, N. Y., has invented a motion picture camera and a projector without sprockets. PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN The proper study of mankind is the back yard. Imaginary illus have their uses. They keep doctors out of the poor house. Civilization is just a business of doing your tooth pick work in private. It isn't real love if she suspects you bought the ring on easy payments. A liberal is a man who gets more excited when he argues about it. The world grows better. It takes more than a lisp to make her the village belle. Females really are superior. No man could drive a car while eating a cone of cream and being hugged. Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands eat the dirt of the car ahead. It is estimated that one can be a dirty crook and leave 1,999,999 laws unbroken. Nobody really despises a small town except the metropolitan who came from one. You have reached the top or the bottom when people no longer ask you to sign petitions. Virtue may be a little dull, but it never makes ice water so essential next morning. It's all right for woman to be equal to man if she wouldn't be so belligerent about it. ABE MARTIN Next t' th' word flay we believe we hate th' word thwart th' most. Th' reason we call it th' "liberal element" is 'cause it'll pay $160 a case without even tastin' it first. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY W. E. THOMSON There's no such thing as a guarantee.

TRUCK In your miss the little ball in six swings, the best alibi is to call it an old man's game and quit. At any rate moral courage enables you to admit that you enjoy low-brow literature. It must astonish a pretty woman when the engineer fails to stop the train to let her cross. It's hard to find horses that bounce the rider a foot at each stop. The summer resorts buy up the supply. Correct this sentence: "I've reached the point where I no longer mind being bald." Dinner Stories A gentleman calling on a farmer observed: "Mr. Jones, your clock is not quite right, is it?" "Well, you see, sir, nobody don't understand that clock but me. When the hands point to 12, then it strikes five, and then I know it is 20 minutes of seven." "How do you like the old town? Don't you find the streets rather winding?" "I do. Why, do you know, when I first went there I could hardly find my way about." "That must have been embarrassing." "It was. The first week I was there I wanted to get rid of an old cat we had, and my wife got me to take it to the river a mile away." "And you lost the cat all right!" "Not a bit of it! I should never have found my way home if I hadn't followed the cat!" Try a Classified Ad for results. There's no such thing as a guarantee. When we speak of a remedy.

Better the open country, under a tree, than the crowded movie, under a fan. The loss of money is merely the loss of a few false friends; the loss of health is the loss of everything. Pediatrists tell us that babies suffering with "summer complaint" should have plenty of water—and little or nothing else. They say that feeding orange juice and white of egg, in such cases, is like trying to put out a fire with kerosene.

The observation was made by La Rochetoucauld, about whom it was recently written: "He holds the world's record for having said the greatest number of sensible things in the smallest possible number of words." These maxima are his; We have more power than will; and it is often by way of excuse to ourselves that we fancy things are impossible. We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears. Happiness lies in the taste, and not in the things; and it is from having what we desire that we are happy—not from having what others think desirable. Our mistrust justifies the deceit of others. Every one speaks well of his heart, but no one dares to do so of his head. The head is always the dupe of the heart. The only good copies are those which exhibit the defects of bad originals. A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised. The world more often rewards the appearance of merit than it does merit itself. Perseverance deserves neither blame nor praise, inasmuch as it is merely the duration of tastes and opinions, which we can neither give nor take away from ourselves. There are heroes in evil as well as in good. When our vices quit us we flatter ourselves with the belief that it is we who quit them. We easily forget faults when they are known only to ourselves. No man deserves to be praised for his goodness unless he has the strength of character to be wicked. All other goodness is generally nothing but indolence or impotence of will. It is a great ability to be able to conceal one's ability. Recent experiments conducted on runners tend to show that exhaustion is, in some way, connected with low blood sugar. The investigators suggest that a little sugar taken just before the race may aid in winning it. Finding and immunizing children who are susceptible to scarlet fever and diphtheria is sound investment. Depending upon treatment for a cure, after these diseases have been contracted, is taking the gambler's chance.
