Entered at the Postoffice at Ausheim, Calif., on second class matter DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS In the morning there is much to feed the spirit of devotion. The hour is a still one. The hurry and tumults of life are not begun, and we naturally share in the tranquility around us... How fit it is at this hour to raise to God the eyes that He has opened, and the arm that He has strengthened; to acknowledge His providence, and to consecrate to Him the powers which He has renewed!—William E. Chunning. TESTS FOR DRIVERS OF AUTOMOBILES One of the most reassuring things that has become public recently in regard to the traffic problem in California is the announcement by Will H. Marsh, chief of the State Division of Motor Vehicles, that he will propose extensive changes in the state motor vehicle law affecting the granting of licenses to drive automobiles in this state. Mr. Marsh is proposing to have ery applicant for a license submit to physical and mental tests of their fitness and their competency to drive. Mr. Marsh has been over in New England, and finds that the rigid laws in Massachusetts and Connecticut are effective in keeping unfit persons from driving. This has decided effect upon the number of tragedies and serious accidents in traffic. California sorely needs just such a law as this. There are too many unfit persons driving autos in this state—too many who are inclined to recklessness in driving; too many who use the streets and highways in devil-may-care fashion; too many who are notoriously incompetent. Rigid tests should be established in California as to mental, moral and physical fitness of drivers. "Never Say Dye" is not the slogan of the beauty specialist. GAMENESS IS COMMON AMONG AMERICANS "Never Say Dye" is not the slogan of the beauty specialist. GAMENESS IS COMMON AMONG AMERICANS Being game in the face of misfortune and adversity is a common thing among Americans. This is true of whole communities, in a collective sense. It is true of individual Americans. There are examples in every locality in the land. Here is an instance of gameness of a type that is often found. Oliver Morosco, former theatrical magnate, through a series of reverses, lost his fortune. But he pluckily is beginning at the bottom and is planning and striving to build up another fortune and put himself back into the commanding position he held in theatrical circles a few years ago. This is typically American. Many a man and many a woman have failed—as the world senses failure—and yet have turned about courageously, begun at the bottom and worked up again to success. This tenacity of purpose—this plucky perseverance in the face of adversity—is characteristically American. It is the key to the amazing achievements of Americans, individually and collectively. A brisk daily walk in the open air will prolong life and promote health. PROBABLY YOUR GLASSES NEED CHANGING SEE JEWELLER E.C.Kendrick OPTOMETRIST 155 W.

A military nation has the fault of a sport model—too much power and not enough utility. People are funny. The more they learn to value fresh air, the more they try to build their houses air tight. Doubtless ancient civilization perished when everybody became a public job holder and died of pique when none were left to medle with.

One day a letter addressed to one of them was left at the club. The wrong man opened it first. It was a dun from a tailor. He knew the missive did not belong to him, so he put it back in the letter rack. The next night both men happened to come to the club at the same time. Both went to the letter rack, the man for whom the letter was intended reaching it first. He read the epistle very carefully. Then he tore it into bits, which he tossed carelessly into a waste paper basket. "Poor little girl!" he said. "How she loves me." Johnnie was gazing at his week-old brother, who lay squealing and yelling in his cot. "Has he come from Heaven?" inquired Johnnie. "Yes, dear." "No wonder they put him out." "Last night, madam," said the American tourist, "you informed me that the duke of Wellington once stayed in this hotel. It it a fact?" "It is, sir," beamed the landlady, "a solenon fact! He slept in the very room you had last night." "Was it just the same as it is now?" "Just the same." "Same bed in it?" "The very identical bed." And the duke of Wellington slept in it—he actually slept in it? "Ain't that what I'm tellin' ye? He actually slept in the very bed ye 'ad last night!" "Great Caesar!" exclaimed the tourist. "No wonder they called him the Iron Duke." TAGGART'S DEPENDABLE THE LONG WHITE LIGHT As I came round the harbor, The lights began to glare. No wave the land-locked stirred. The crags were white again. And I marked my love by light. Sewing her long white eye. It's aye sewing ashore, me. Watch and steer at sea. It's reef and furl, and line. Set sail and think of the I climbed to reach her door; O sweetly my love sing; Like a shaft of light he My soul to meet its sprinkles forth. As the shining water let old. When stirred by angel lily longing to list anew; Awake and in my dream But never a song she sailed this. Sewing her long white light fall the lights, the lights, That brought me in to the roof. For the sight that I did And the voice, my dear, thou so clear, All for the love of me. For O, for O, with brown low By the candle's file gleam, Her wedding gown it wrought, Sewing the long white sleep —Jean Inge Here lies the body Of Jonathan Hupp; He just wouldn't sleep With his windows up.

THE OPENING CLAM AMERICAN LEGIO FRIDAY AND NEW FLOOR DANCING EVERY WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS MERON T. HERRICK Neither Paris nor France will ever forget that in the most trying days of the war, September, 1914, Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, refused to leave the threatened capital. "At this moment," he declared in explanation of his refusal, "it would be a great boon to France if the American ambassador were killed by a bomb from a German airplane. There are times when a dead ambassador is worth more than a living ambassador." These words will live in French history. And they have recently been inscribed in bronze on a commemorative medal, struck by the French government to commemorate that nation's gratitude. The medal will be placed in the historical collection of the Paris mint. On the obverse of the medal appears in high relief the likeness of the eminent diplomat. Herrick has been ambassador to the French Republic since 1921. This is not his first experience at that post, however. The former governor of Ohio was asked to accept the portfolio in 1912 and held it two years. Ohio claims Herrick as a native son. He was born in Huntington, that state, Oct. 9, 1854. He studied at Oberlin college and Ohio Wesleyan University. After practicing law for several years he became associated with the Society for Savings Bank of Cleveland and eventually became its president. He became governor in 1903 and served two terms. A year or so ago Herrick's life was threatened when a bomb was exploded in his Paris home by communists. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying WHY IS "BUGHOUSE" USED AS SLANG FOR "CRAZY?" At first glance it might appear that on use of the admittedly slang expression "bughouse" had something to do with the way in which beetles and other insects scamper around from place to place when confined within a small enclosure—conducting themselves much as maniacs do in their cells. But in reality, the term has a much more reasonable explanation and one which drives deeply into the roots of the language. The old English "bug", skin to the Welsh "bwg" and the Slavonic "bog", signified a spectre or an evil spirit, thus accounting for the word "bogey," which is a recognized part of the language today. Hence the "bug" in Psalm XCI, 5, defined as the "terror by night." The fact that this word, which originally implied an evil spiritual condition, now implies an unbound mental condition, furnishes only another example of the modern changes of the meanings of words of which French, in his "Study of Words," gives so many illustrations. "Bughouse," therefore, while admittedly slang, has a far longer and more illustrious pedigree than many other terms that are freely used at the present time by persons who pride themselves upon the purity of their expressions. THE HOME TOWN PAPER — Glendale News The home town newspaper is a vital part of the community. It is like the tie that blinds the community together, the connecting link between the many and varied phases of community life and development. It comes into your home with the news of your neighbors and the things that are of most interest to your city as well as news of what is going on in the world. The home town paper belongs to the community and protects it because all its interests are centered there. In that way, it is unlike the newspaper that brings into your home the advertisements of out-of-town merchants who are trying to draw away from your home community, trade, which is the life blood of any city. The interests of the community, the home town merchant and the home newspaper are so identical that they must succeed or fail together. "The MAJORITY IS NEVER RIGHT" Ibsen avowed that the majority is never right. Never, he said, "That is one of society's lies against which a free, thoughtful man must rebel. Who are they who make up the majority in a country?" FROM THE GLEANINGS BOOKLIFE "THE MAJORITY IS NEVER RIGHT" Ibsen avowed that the majority is never right. Never, he said. "That is one of society's lies against which a free, thoughtful man must rebel. Who are they who make up the majority in a country? Are they the wise men or the foolish? Ibsen's fundamental principle in every field and domain of thought was that the minority always in the right. "It is a lie that truth always belongs to the majority. What kind of truths do the majority rally round? They are truths so old that they are positively deserpt with age! When a truth is boary with years it is in a fair way to become a lie." "A normally constituted truth," he observed, "will live, say, about seventeen to eighteen, at the very outside twenty years, sold longer. But such ancient truths are always shockingly emaciated." At another time he wrote: "I almost believe we are all of us ghosts! It is not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that haunts us. It is all sorts of old, dead ideas, all kinds of old, dead beliefs and so forth. "They have no life, yet they cleave to us, and we cannot stike ourselves free of them—and then we are so pitifully agraid of the dark." Once he opined: "There are many teachers of wisdom, but where is the wisdom? Don't Forget That The Ever-Ready Truck & Transfer Co.
