LEGION ASKS DEFENSE Speaking before the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in El Paso, Texas, the other day, National Commander James A. Drain, of the American Legion, said the Legion desires epace because it knows war, and it is striving to bring about a reduction of armaments, but, "until that day comes when a lasting peace is established on principles of justice, the United States must sustain a navy equal to any. Its army must be very efficient, and capable of quick expansion to the emergencies of war; and its air forces must be adequate. We must have reserve forces for land; sea and air, and industry must be prepared for the demands of vour. When Kansas is assured by the Almighty that there will be no more cyclones in Kansas, they can do away with cyclone cellars. But, doing away with cellars will not stop cyclones in Kansas. Building up a big fighting machine may lead to the desire for conquest, and should be discouraged. But, doing away with an adequate defense force will not stop war, rather it will invite invasion. Not until all nations agree to total disarmament will it be safe to dispense with all methods of defense. Faith in God inspires faith in one's fellow men.

If home life were not pure and sacred, then the country would not be safe. Prosperity very accommodatingly comes without being attended by a straw vote. The Prince of Wales thinks well of America. And America returns the compliment. It would be easy to forecast the result of a straw vote to determine how many of Americas 110,000,000 favor a reduction of taxes. C. M.

The best kind is that which has oen bleached out so that it is white, as this bleaching process removes certain volatile oils, which are slightly irritating to the body. Great care must be exercised in washing from the celery any poison which has been used by the gardener to kill bugs or worms. Blue vitroll and strychnine are the poisons most commonly employed for the purpose, and if it is good looking celery without worm holes, you may be sure that one of these agents has been used. The poison will remain in the inside parts of the head of celery, and can only be completely removed by taking the stalk apart and scraping each part thoroughly with a vegetable brush, afterwards washing in several pans of running water. If it is desired to cook the celery it should be cut into small pieces and boiled in plain water for at least two hours. This time seems necessary to develop a certain flavor which the celery acquires if prepared in this way. Of course it may be cooked for only a few moments, and will still be a desirable food even if prepared in such a manner, but you will find the flavor to be entirely different if the two hour period is used. No seasoning of any kind should be added to the water, but if the water is cooked out sufficiently, a small amount of cream and butter can be added when ready to serve.

ST OPP AUTO CLUB ANAHEIM PHONE 38 THE BEST OF ADVICE BY CLARK KIRNARD TURN TO THE RIGHT John Burroughs, in summing up his life, said that he did what he most wanted to do in the world, what he was probably best suited to do, not as a result of deliberate planning or calculation, but by simply going with the current, that is, following his natural bent, and refusing to run after false gods. "Riches and fame and power, when directly pursued, are false gods." If a man deliberately says to himself, "I will win these things," he has likely reckoned without his host. His host is the nature within and without him, and that may have something to say on the subject. But if he says, "I will do the worthy work that comes to my hand, the work that my character and my talent may bring me, and I will do it the best I can," he will not reap a barren harvest. It must be true that the majority of persons are disappointed in life. They have wanted something for nothing. They have varied short cuts to fame and fortune and have not been willing to pay the price of success. False gods cost us the most unhappiness. "Can there be any theory or doctrine not connected with our practical lives so absurd that it will not be accepted as true by many people?" Burroughs muses on an essay. "How firmly was belief in witchcraft held by whole populations for a generation! My grandfather believed it and in spooks and robbers." COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying PERSIA WANTS CITY MANAGERS—Berkeley Gazette Persia has been a synonym for national backwardness and inefficiency ever since Xenophon and his 10,000 Greeks, twenty-four centuries ago, cut through the vast army of the Great King at Babylon and fought their way back to the Hellespont. Persia, a mighty power before Greece and Rome arose, has been scarcely capable of self-government since, save for a period in the middle Ages. Nationally and locally, it has seemed in its dotage in modern times. Now that may be changed. There are signs of Persia waking up. The Shah has written to the American City Managers' Association, asking advice about the appointment of a competent manager for his capital. The Shah has been studying western municipal government, and says, "The city manager type of government is the best possible." He is determined to give that type of administration to Teheran. The city manager plan is gaining favor steadily in this country, though not without some disillusionment and setbacks. Starting with small and for the most part suburban communities, it has now conquered many large cities. Its great merit is that it substitutes business intelligence for partisanship and spoils in administering municipal affairs. MORCH LITTLE POOR BOYS "How were it if we surmised that for a man gifted with natural vigor, with a man's character to be developed in him, more especially if in the way of Literature, as Thinker and Writer, it is actually, in these strange days, no special misfortune to be trained up among the Uneducated classes, and not among the Educated; but rather of two misfortunes the smaller?" Thomas Carlyle asks the question in one of his essays, on Corn-Law Rhymes. "For all men, doubtless, obstructions abound; spiritual growth must be hampered and stunted, and has to struggle through with difficulty, if it do not wholly stop." He grants, too, that, for a mediocre character, the continual training and tutoring, from language masters, posture-bakers of all sorts, hired and volunteers, which a high rank in any time and country assures, there will be produced a certain superiority, over the corresponding mediocre character of low rank; thus we perceive the vulgar Do-nothing, as contrasted with the vulgar Drudge, is in general a much prettier man; with a wider, perhaps clearer outlook into distance; in innumerable superficial matters, however it may be when we go deeper, he has a manifest disadvantage. False gods cost us the most unhappiness. "Can there be any theory or doctrine not connected with our practical lives so aburd that it will not be accepted as true by many people?" Burroughs muses in an essay. "How firmly was belief in witchcraft held by whole populations for a generation! My grandfather believed it, and in spooks and hobgobins." "If any one were seriously to urge that we really walk on our heads instead of our heels, and cite our baldness as proof, there are persons who would believe him." Every man must build up a philosophy of tried principles he can rely upon. And, observes E. W. Howe, the strength and extent of his philosophy will be the measure of his success in life. "His limitations make up the boundary beyond which he cannot go. When he reaches his limit, he cannot stop and howl for assistance, because it will not come. All the help he receives must come from himself." "And the first principle of this philosophy is that you have no rights you do not enforce." To what do the better men owe their escape from this condition? In general terms, the answer James gives is this: Either some unusual stimulusills them with emotional excitement, or some unusual idea of necessity induces them to make an extra effort to will. Excitements, ideas and efforts are what carry us over the dam, so to speak. We are all to some extent creatures of habit. We live subject to arrest by degrees of fatigue which we have come only from habit to obey. But some men learn to push the barrier farther off, and live in perfect comfort on much higher levels of power. They are the men above the average. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. Thomas Carlyle asks the question in one of his essays, on Corn-Law Rhymes.

He grants, too, that, for a mediocre character, the continual training and tutoring, from language masters, posture-bakers of all sorts, hired and volunteers, which a high rank in any time and country assures, there will be produced a certain superiority, over the corresponding mediocre character of low rank; thus we perceive the vulgar Do-nothing, as contrasted with the vulgar Drudgre, is in general a much prettier man; with a wider, perhaps clearer outlook into distance; in innumerable superficial matters, however it may be when we go deeper, he has a manifest disadvantage. "But with the man of uncommon character, again, in whom a germ of irrepressible Force has been implanted, and will unfold itself into some sort of freedom, altogether the reverse may hold. "For such germs too, there is, undoubtedly enough, a proper soil where they will grow best, and an improper one where they will grow worst. True also, where there is a will, there is a way; where genius has been given, a possibility, a certainty of its growing is also given. "Yet often it seems as if the inadjudicuous gardening and manuring are worse than none at all, and killed what the inclemencies of blind chance would have spared. We find accordingly that few fredericks or Napoleons, indeed none since the great Alexander, who unfortunately drank himself to death too soon for proving what lay in him, were nursed up with an eye to their vocation; mostly with an eye quite the other way, in the midst of isolation and pain, destitution and contradiction. Nay, in our times, have we not seen two men of genius, a Byron and a Burns; they both by mandate of Nature, struggle and must struggle towards clear Manhood, stormfully enough, for the space of six-and-thirty years; yet only the gifted Ploughman can partially prevail therein: the gifted Peer must toil and strive, and shoot-out in wild efforts, yet die at last in Boyhood, with the promise of his Manhood still but announcing itself in the distance. "Truly, as once written, it is only the artichoke that will not grow except in gardens; the acorn is cast carelessly abroad into the wilderness, yet on the wild soil it nourishes itself, and rises to be an oak.' All woodmen, moreover, will tell you that fat manure is the ruin of your oak; likewise that the thinner and wilder your soil, the tougher, more iron-textured is your timber—though unhappily also the smaller. "So too with the spirits of men: they become pure from their errors by suffering for them; he who has battled, were it only with Poverty and hard toll, will be found stronger, more expert, than he who could stay at home from the battle, concealed among the provision-wagons, or even not unwatchfully abiding by the stuff." In which sense an observer, not without experience of Carlyle's time, said: "Had I a man of clearly developed character (clear, sincere within its limits) of insight, courage and real applicable force of head and of heart, to search for, and not a man of luxuriously distorted character, with haughtiness for courage, and for insight and applicable force, speculation,and plausible show of force,-it were rather among the lower than the higher classes that I should look for him."
