CHANGES MARVELOUS IN SINGLE LIFETIME Have you ever stopped to consider how many great and wonderful things have been achieved in science and invention within the lifetime of yourself, and many others now on earth? Compare what it is today with what was fifty years ago—or even twenty-five years, if fifty years is out of your memory. Life and living conditions have been almost completely revolutionized. In transportation, within half a century, this country has progressed from steamboats and railroad trains on a few railroads, and from the old-time horse and buggy, and swift railroad trains of today; to the myriad automobiles—millions of them, dotting every street and highway in the land; to the airsbips and the marvelous developments in aeronautics All this in less than fifty years! In communication and means of intelligence: The daily newspaper has advanced phenomenally. It gathers and dispenses the news of the world with almost incredible swiftness. The telegraph, the cable, the telephone, and lastly, wireless, the crowning marvel of all. And so the list might be multiplied, including illumination the phonograph, the motion picture and marvels after marvels—all within the last half century—many of them within the last quarter of a century! millions of them, dotting every street and highway in the land; to the airships and the marvelous developments in aeronautics All this in less than fifty years! In communication and means of intelligence: The daily newspaper has advanced phenomenally. It gathers and dispenses the news of the world with almost incredible swiftness. The telegraph, the cable, the telephone, and lastly, wireless, the crowning marvel of all. And so the list might be multiplied, including illumination the phonograph, the motion picture and marvels after marvels—all within the last half century—many of them within the last quarter of a century! When the farmers prosper, the whole country gets the reflex of the prosperity. If we were all careful in traffic, very few would be imperiled in traffic. "The hand that rocks the cradle" is reaching out to take hold upon the helm of the ship of state. Speaking of life's little jokes; have you ever noticed how often the star pupil becomes an employee of the laziest boy in school? The foundation of national greatness is laid upon character. This country will flourish so long as its people are of sound character—and no longer. "Safety first"—not only for one's self, but for those with whom one comes in contact. Do not endanger someone else, any more than you would wish to be endangered yourself.

A man never gets too old, bald, fat and rich to think she loves him for himself alone. There is consolation in knocking college men if you stopped at the eighth grade and became rich.

MENDOZA, Prop. 200 South Los Angeles Street WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS SIR ALFRED BOWER A lord mayor's banquet on total abstinence times is something absolutely unknown in all the thousand year annals of the chief magistry of London, but "drys" are violently criticizing the installation of Sir Alfred Bower as lord mayor. Lord Alfred is one of the biggest wine merchants in England. His opponents, as one point in their attack, are calling attention to the ancient law enacted in the reign of Edward II, by which licensed victualers and brewers are specifically forbidden to hold any public office in the city of London, the object of these statutes being to protect the people from fraudulent administration of the laws concerning food and drink. But it is extremely doubtful whether these laws apply to wine merchants. For history shows that the ancient Guild of Vintners, or wine merchants, to whom King Edward III granted over his sign manual a charter on July 15, 1363, for the importation of wines had as its then master and warden Henry Picard, to lord mayor of London, who celebrated the occasion by entertaining the reigning monarch as well as three other kings in the hall of the company. Sir Alfred is also a past master and a present governor of the Vintners Co., which has furnished many another chief magistrate to the city of London without encountering any valid obstacles. Sir Alfred Bower owes his title to the fact that he was knighted by King George as aberiff of the city on the occasion of the state visit of Raymond Poincare, then president of the French republic, to England on the eve of the great war, and he enjoys in a special degree the good will of Queen Mary by reason of his generous interest in the management and maintenance of the great London hospitals, being an active gover- many another chief magistrate to the city of London without encountering any valid obstacles. Sir Alfred Bower owes his title to the fact that he was knighted by King George as sheriff of the city on the occasion of the state visit of Raymond Poincaré, then president of the French republic, to England on the eve of the great war, and he enjoys in a special degree the good will of Queen Mary by reason of his generous interest in the management and maintenance of the great London hospitals, being an active governor and munificent supporter of St. Bartholomew's, of St. Thomas of Bethelhem hospital and of Guya. He is married to one of the Blackets of Northumberland, daughter of Capt. Edward Blacket of the royal navy. Sir Alfred will hold his office for 12 months only, dating from his inauguration on November 9 next, and throughout his term will occupy the lavishly furnished residence known as the Mansion House, a stately building opposite the Bank of England. He will receive a salary of £50,000, in addition to allowances amounting to almost half again as much. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W.

He is not an average player, but a man who can hit in a pinch! His hard, smashing drive “puts the game on ice.” Just as a player is trained—so is gasoline refined. Average gasoline will move your car, but does it make good in a pinch? For quick starting, holding its own in traffic, on the long journey, up the steep mountain grades, or under heavy strain or load, your motor needs real gasoline.

Those who, knowingly, make false diagnoses in syphilis and administer treatment on them, are guilty of a greater crime than that for which the burglar is now serving time.
