Orange-co., per year, $3; 6 months $1.75. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. John 1:1-2. GOSSIP PROHIBITED BY KENTUCKY LAW Kentucky is the first state in the Union to outlaw slanderous gossip. A woman was fined, under this law, in Owensboro, for making the remark that the Owensboro police "were fifty-fifty with bootleggers." There was no proof to support this charge. Hence the court imposed a fine. At Hazard, Ky., an arrest was made recently, under this state law, of a man who made the remark that a certain clergyman had been unduly friendly with a woman of his congregation twenty years before. The trial showed that the statement was unfounded. The slanderer said that he had heard the charge made in a conversation on a train. He was fined, nevertheless, for repeating the gossip. Kentucky's anti-slander law, passed at the last session of its legislature, provides that gossip shall be treated a misdemeanor and imposes a fine of from $10 to $100 and from ten to fifty days in jail upon any person found guilty of repeating scandalous reports. The slanderous remarks, under this law, must not be made about any person, officer or even a candidate for office, without first making investigation as to the truth or falsity of the slanderous remarks. The law also provides that names of persons from whom such information might be repeated is obtained, must be given in all cases. It is said that this statute has stopped much loose gossip in Kentucky. Every state, ultimately, must outlaw slanderous gossip. its legislature, provides that gossip shall be treated a misdemeanor and imposes a fine of from $10 to $100 and from ten to fifty days in jail upon any person found guilty of repeating scandalous reports. The slanderous remarks, under this law, must not be made about any person, officer or even a candidate for office, without first making investigation as to the truth or falsity of the slanderous remarks. The law also provides that names of persons from whom such information as might be repeated is obtained, must be given in all cases. It is said that this statute has stopped much loose gossip in Kentucky. Every state, ultimately, must outlaw slanderous gossip. It is an evil of startling proportions and of very serious consequences. It is so cowardly—so readily perpetrated—that only severe laws, rigidly enforced—could grapple with this menace to reputations. Athletic note—The author of “Crossing the Bar” was not a pole vaulter. TO MAKE DIRIGIBLES IN AMERICA Dirigibles are to be manufactured in the United States. A fleet of the vast airships, of the ZR-3 type, is to be built for mail and passenger service. Dr. Karl Arnstein, designer of the ZR-3—which now bears the name “Los Angeles”—has arrived from Germany with a staff of twelve engineers and will be designer, at Akron, Ohio, for the great corporation that is to make the huge aircraft. Dirigibles are to be put out for use in this country and for transatlantic service. This marks the beginning of this notable industry on American soil. It is a great stride in development of aeronautics. The United States, once it gets into the swing of building airplanes and dirigibles, should take the lead of the world. The start has been a bit tardy. But Uncle Sam steps fast, once he gets started. Production of aerial mail and passenger craft soon should assume enormous proportions. While the cost of dirigibles may, for a time, deter their rapid adoption for commercial uses, yet this should be overcome as the giant vessels of the air, demonstrate their practicability and usefulness. We fought to make this country safe for democracy, but we forgot to lock the safe. If you are going to ship Nuts or California Fruits east for Christmas, see our gift boxes.

"In whatever case you Schopenhauer opines," to picture to yourself the in prosperity to be misfortune; in friend enmity; in good weather when the sky is overcast of hatred; in momenta to imagine the betrayal make you regret your so, too, when you are plight, to have a lively happier times—what a source of true worldly woe. "If you will but re not difficult to anticipate future will bring." Perhaps in no form edge is personal experience dispensable as in learning that all things are untransitory in this world. As Schopenhauer puts it: "There is nothing the own place and for the lasts, is not a product city, and therefore caping fully justified; and feat that makes the circle of every year, every month of every day, seem as might maintain their rise to all eternity. "But we know that never be the case, and a world where all cause alone endures. "He is a prudent man not only undeceived by stability, but is able the lines upon which will take place."

ASE NATIVE SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. THOMSON Of no better diet Can any man boast. Than a soft boiled egg And a thin slice of toast. A good house with life insurance beats the poorhouse without it. It is easier to keep the window up than it is the doctor. What we now need is a bureau of radio with a statistician in charge. Better a clean, polished, hardwood floor than the dusty germ harboring carpet. There's a mince pie in your tummy, Willie Jones; And some pudding that was gummy, Willie Jones; So, tonight, the great Gabiddle will be standing on your middle, Using wishbones for a fiddle, Willie Jones. If our babies were worth ten cents per pound, on the hoof, we'd consider a ten per cent death rate extravagant waste. Merchants who sweep their stores during business hours should supply all their customers with gasmaasks. The true test of medical skill is in knowing what not to do. YOUTH'S AGITATIONS Whn I shall be divorced, some ten years hence, From this poor present self which I am now; When youth has done its tedious vain expense, Of passions that forever ebb and flow; Shall I not joy youth's heats are left behind, And breath more happy in an even clime?

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" COOKED NON-STARCHY VEGETABLES. GOOD. (Continued.) SMALL BEETS, SMALL CARROTS, SMALL PARSNIPS, SMALL TURNIPS, (Continued.) A very desirable way in which to bring out the flavor of any one of these vegetables is to grind through a vegetable grinder, and cook carefully in a small amount of water, being particular to see that they do not burn. Any one of these vegetables may be cooked in this way, or two of them may be mixed together, such as turnips and carrots, or beets and parsnips. If mixed in this way they will make a very tasty dish, entirely different from anything to which you have been accustomed, and will really give the effect of a new vegetable. In my estimation the most delicious way of preparing this class of non-starchy vegetables is by baking. One or more may be used, and they should first of all be ground fine and placed in a dry baking pan, to a depth of one or two inches. This should be placed in a moderate oven, and cooked for about ten minutes, or till done. An agreeable flavor is added to the dish if the cooking is continued to about ten minutes, or until the top is brown. You will find that this method will develop still another flavor in the vegetables which is different from any you have been able to obtain by other methods of preparation. No seasoning of any kind should be used in any of the above ways of preparing, but butter and salt may be added as desired when being eaten.

St. THE BEST OF ADVICE NOTHING LASTS BUT CHANGE That Time works great changes, and that all things are in their nature fleeting—these are truths that should never be forgotten. "In whatever case you may be." Schopenhauer opines, "it is wise to picture to yourself the opposite; in prosperity to be mindful of misfortune; in friendship, of enmity; in good weather, of days when the sky is overcast; in love, of hatred; in moments of trust, to imagine the betrayal that will make you regret your confidence; so, too, when you are in evil plight, to have a lively sense of haplier times—what a lasting source of true worldly wisdom! "If you will but reflect, it is not difficult to anticipate what the future will bring." Perhaps in no form of knowledge is personal experience so indispensable as in learning to see that all things are unstable and transitory in this world. As Schopenhauer puts it: "There is nothing that, in its own place and for the time it lasts, is not a product of necessity, and therefore capable of being fully justified; and it is this feat that makes the circumstances of every year, every month, even of every day, seem as though they might maintain their rights to last to all eternity. "But we know that this can never be the case, and that in a world where, all is fleeting, cause alone endures. He is a prudent man who is not only undeceived by apparent stability, but is able to forecast the lines upon which movement will take place." In Shelley's Revolt of Islam there are two pertinent lines: COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying NEW VERSION OF THE BIBLE—San Diego Union Publication of a new version of a great book is an event in the intellectual world, comparable in importance to a change of administration or an international loan in the field of politics or diplomacy. When, as in the case of Dr. Moffatt's new translation of the Bible, the publication concerns the great Book on which two powerful religions have been founded, the event is worth more than passing attention. It is an event aimed to exert a profound impulse upon the world of ideas. Dr. Moffatt's new translation of the New Testament is not, it must be remembered, simply a "re-write" of what King James learned men accomplished 300 years ago. It is the work of a scholar content with no easy task, a reverent student of the sources. It is worlds removed from the silly slang of a Billy Sunday, bent on bringing the Bible down to the level of minds like his own. Though Dr. Moffatt's purpose must command respect, and though his task may have been competently performed, it is at the same time reasonable to doubt that his work will actually have the influence he feels it should have. For untold thousands of English-speaking people, the King James version is the Bible. Their religion is encompassed in its ancient phrases. The phrases may be obsolete, they may be obscure, they may even be inaccurate; yet they have been consacrated to humanity by so many generations of reverent study that they have a real existence of their own, and it may be impossible to supplant them with language more like our colloquial expression. Dr. Moffatt's purpose is reasonable. He aims to meet a demand that logically should exist; and if this Book had no place in religion, his enterprise might prove fruitful. SCOLDING A COMMON FRAILY—San Bernardino Sun People do not differ much in the matter of scolding. Few deserve punishment under the penal code for common scoots, but petulant scolding is one of the most universal of human traits. Whether we know it or admit it, we are all chronic critics of our fellows. Perhaps there is some truth in the expression, "we love each other for our faults." Cartoons and comic strips are given to gross exaggeration especially as regards the marital state, but where is there a happily wedded pair which is not scolded into married bills? Of course, they are intended as helpful suggestions and household hints, but those remarks about bills, cigar ashes, late dinners and delayed dinners, and other conjugal annoyances are but examples of everyday sun unnoticed family scoldings. Our neighbors alone are aware of their presence. The statistician affords us rare opportunities for giving vent to our natural propensity for complaining. How the men scold the women for their extravagances when the revenue bureau announces what was spent for cosmetics and silken hose in the preceding year, and what a babel is set up by the wives and mothers when the tobacco statistics are broadcast. A new source of scolding is the automobile. Non-owners charge the motorist with foregoing the world into bankruptcy and automobile owners scold the reat that makes the circumstances of every year, every month, even of every day, seem as though they might maintain their rights to last to all eternity. "But we know that this can never be the case, and that in a world where all is fleeting, cause alone endures." He is a prudent man who is not only undeceived by apparent stability, but is able to forecast the lines upon which movement will take place. In Shelley's Revolt of Islam there are two pertinent lines: The flood of time is setting on. We stand upon its brink. Chance plays so great a part in all human affairs that when a man tries to ward off a remote danger by present sacrifice, the danger often vanishes under some new and unforeseen development of events; and then the sacrifice, in addition to being a complete loss, brings about such an altered state of things as to be in itself a source of positive danger in the face of this new development. In taking measures of precaution then, Schopenhauer advises it is well not to look too far ahead, but to reckon with chance; and often to oppose a courageous front to a danger, in the hope that, like many a dark thundercloud, it may pass away without breaking. Mr. Mulligan was lying upon his death bed. Mrs. Mulligan was seated at his side, giving what small consolation she could offer in the circumstances. "Sure, Mike," said she, "is there anything I cud do for yez before yun lave us?" "Margaret, me darlint," said he. "I think I smell the odor of roastin' pork. I believe I cud eat a bit of it." "I'm sorry, Mike," said she, "but I can't cut into that pork roast. Were savin' it for the wake." Jones considered himself a humorist. He sent a selection of his original jokes to the editor of a newspaper and confidently awaited a remittance. His excitement ran high when he received a letter, obviously from the newspaper office. He opened it with feverish haste. There was no check, however, just a small note, as follows: "Dear Sir: Your jokes received. Some we have seen before; some we have not seen yet." Cartoons and comic strips are given to gross exaggeration especially as regards the marital state, but where is there a happily wedded pair which is not scolded into married bliss? Of course, they are intended as helpful suggestions and household hints, but those remarks about bills, cigar ashes, late dinners and delayed dinners, and other conjugal annoyances are but examples of everyday sun, unnoticed family scoldings. Our neighbors alone are aware of their presence. The statistician affords us rare opportunities for giving vent to our natural propensity for complaining. How the men scold the women for their extravagances when the revenue bureau announces what was spent for cosmetics and silken hose in the preceding year, and what a babel is set up by the wives and mothers when the tobacco statistics are broadcast. A new source of scolding is the automobile. Non-owners charge the motorist with forcing the world into bankruptcy and automobile owners scold the pedestrian for something just as unreasonable. AT SEA WITH CONRAD Some idea of the descriptive powers with which Joseph Conrad (he died the other day) endowed his tales of the sea, making him one of the three or four greatest literary figures of our time, can be grasped from this quotation from "The Nigger of the Narcissus" (Chap. Two), one of his earlier works. The Narclassus, left alone, heading south, seemed to stand resplendent and still upon the restless sea, under the moving sun. Flakes of foam swept past her sides; the water struck her with flashing blows; the land glided away, slowly fading; a few birds screamed on motionless wings over the swaying mastheads. But soon the land disappeared, the birds went away; and to the west the pointed sail of an Arab show running from Bomhay rose triangular and upright above the sharp edge of the horizon, lingered and vanished like an illusion. Then the ship's wake, long and straight, stretched itself out through a day of immense solitude. The setting sun, burning on the level of the water, flamed crimson below the blackness of heavy rain clouds. The sunset squall, coming up from behind, dissolved itself into the short deluge of a blinding shower. It left the ship glistening from trucks to waterline, and with darkened sails. She ran easily before a fair monsoon, with her seeks cleared for the night; and, moving along with her was heard the sustained and monotonous swishing of the waves, mingled with the low whispers of men mustered aft for the setting of watches; the short plaint of some block aloft; or, now and then, a loud sigh of wind. Forward, the lookout man, erect between the flukes of the two anchors, hummed an endless tune, keeping his eyes fixed dutifully ahead in a vacant stare. A multitude of stars coming out into the clear night peopleled the emptiness of the sky. They glittered, as if alive above the sea; they surrounded the running ship on all sides; more intense than the eyes of a staring crowd, and as inscrutable as the souls of men. The passage had begun, and the ship, a fragment detached from the earth, went on lonely and swift like a small planet. Round her the abysses of sky and sea met an unattainable frontier. A great circular solitude moved with her, ever changing and ever the same, always monotonic and always imposing. Now and then another white speck, burdened with life, appeared far off—disappeared, intent on its own destiny. The sun looked upon her all day, and every morning rose with a burning round star of undying curiosity. She had her own future; she was alive with the lives of those beings who trod her decks; like that earth which had given her up to the sea, she had an intolerable load of regrets and hopes. On her lived timid truth and audacious lies; and, like the earth, she was unconscious, fair to see—and condemned by me to an ignoble fate. The august loneliness of her path leut dignity to the sordid inspiration of her pilgrimage. She drove foaming to the southward, as if guided by the courage of a high endeavor. The smiling greatness of the sea dwarfed the extent of time. The days raced after one another, and the nights, eventful and short, resembled fleeting dreams. his original jokes to the editor of a newspaper and confidently awaited a remittance.
