That California is on the verge of unprecedented industrial expansion, development and activity is the prediction of steel executives of this state, who have been in conference at Del Monte. The meeting was brot about under auspices of the California Development Association, in co-operation with the Chambers of Commerce of Los Angeles and San Francisco. There was harmony throughout and stops were taken to bring the steel industry in this state into closer co-operation, as a group. Prophecies the most optimistic were made by the most prominent steel men participating in this conference. California's industrial sky is clear, these men say. Industrial growth is assured. More pay-rolls and expanded pay-rolls will add greatly to the state's thriving. Pedestrians should submit to traffic rules and regulations just as gracefully as they expect autoists to submit. It should be a fifty-fifty distribution of regulation as between pedes trians and drivers. DELAY FOR COLORADO DAM PROJECT The Senate will not act on the Swing-Johnson measure at Pedestrians should submit to traffic rules and regulations just as gracefully as they expect autoists to submit. It should be a fifty-fifty distribution of regulation as between pedestrians and drivers. DELAY FOR COLORADO DAM PROJECT The Senate will not act on the Swing-Johnson measure at this session. This is indicated by the action of the Senate Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation, in recommending that the matter go over. Meantime it is proposed to make an investigation of the dam projects and the sites which are being considered. This project has been before the country for a long time. It has been before Congress for a long time. Why there must be additional waiting for affirmative, conservative action is difficult to make out. Members of Congress do not do public business like men in private life do the business of private corporations. How long, for example, would it take the Southern California Edison Company, to decide to act constructively, if the damming of a stream or the tunneling of mountains to get water power were required, to augment this great corporation's power supply? It would require much less time than it requires to get any positive action from Congress on a project of great public importance. Damming of the Colorado river should not be delayed. Committees of Congress should have had this subject thoroughly studied and digested ready to recommend action by Congress. The need of action is patent. Trouble, borrowed, exacts a high rate of interest. If Los Angeles can break up the dangerous habit of jaywalking on the part of pedestrians, other cities can do so. The experiment will be watched with keen interest all over the country.

WALKER As the new governor of the Panama Canal, Col. M. L. Walker, heads one of the few large governmental enterprises that turns into the nation's treasury more revenue than it takes out. Recent reports show that, aside from its value as a vital factor in national defense and in American commerce, the canal is now a paying business concern. Its success in operation has been a direct result following the selection of its governors from the officers of the corps of engineers. Colonel Walker, the new governor, has been engineer of maintenance of the canal since June 1921. He has had a long and distinguished service in the corps of engineers, United States army, since his graduation from the Military Academy in 1893. In the appointment of Colonel Walker the government continues the practice of placing the administration of the canal in the hands of army engineers trained for the post in long duty as engineers of maintenance under the governor. General Goethals, builder of the canal and its first governor, was succeeded by the man he had trained. General Chester Harding, and the retiring incumbent was long under Governor Harding. He now passes the office on to the engineer who has been closely identified with him in the work, Colonel Walker.

Grandmother’s Cough Remedy—Pine Tar and Honey—Still Best A well-known specialist said recently that although many wonderful medical discoveries have been made in recent years, nobody has found a better and healthier remedy for coughs, chest colds, throat ticks and other throat and bronchial troubles than oak pine tar and honey. Our grandmothers would never be without pine tar syrup in the house, and they raised large quantities of this delicious but not only pleasant to the taste but also nutritious and healing ingredients that can be harmful drugs. The pine-tar quickly soothes and heals sore muscles and is scientifically compounded of just the right proportion of pine tar, honey and other natural ingredients that the kind that has been used with never failing to treat the cause of the coughing.

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" TOASTED FOOD (Continued) MELBA TOAST is the name given to a certain kind of toasted bread by some of the larger hotels and is distinguished from the ordinary toast by being very thin and browned all the way thru. It may be made at home very easily by using the following method: cut all of the crust from an ordinary loaf of white bread and slice the entire loaf in pieces one-quarter of an inch thick. Allow these to dry at least overnight, and preferably longer. When thoroughly dry they should then be put in a moderately hot oven and roasted so that the heat will entirely penetrate the dried bread, and it will be browned all the way through. If the crust is left on the bread you will find that it (the crust) will tend to burn, while the rest of the toast will not be browned well enough. The cooking must be continued until there is no sign of any white starch in the toast. The best way to do toast an ovenful at a time and not attempt to do anything else while you are watching the toast. Sit in fron of the oven and open the door every minute or two so that there will be no chance of the toast either being burned or not browned completely. When toasted in this way the bread will have a sweet taste similar to what used to be sold in the stores under the name of "Zwieback." It was possible at one time to buy this imported "Zwieback" in packages and it was simply made from plain bread, and toasted in the same manner as Melba toast, but the Zwiebace now on the market is only partially toasted and is really as harmful as white bread because of the untoasted starch that is mixed with sugar, as sweetened bread seems to be used. (To be continued.) BRITISH PICTURE OF PROHIBITION The London Daily News has just completed a series of articles by Mr. W. K. Midgley, telling of prohibition in America. Mr. Midgley describes violation of the law in New York and Washington, but reports that American business men are for prohibition. Describing a visit to a factory with the proprietor of the works he says: "As we passed by a handsome modern building, he waved his hand carelessly, 'Local Jail. We can't fill it a quarter full since prohibition.' He showed me the picture palaces along the main street which have sprang up since prohibition. 'One seat for every five people in town and all well patronized.' He told me how the peoples' savings were increasing enormously; how the shopping centers had spread and prospered, how the sale of sweets had increased three-fold and how a recent inquiry had shown that the only under-nourished children in a town of 150,000 inhabitants were in the best residential districts where they were getting a too much fancy food." Mr. Midgley found that prohibition means entirely different things in different parts of the United States. In the West he found dry enforcement, prosperity and a general approval of the law. "The dominating fact," says Mr. Midgley, "that over-rides all this contradictory evidence is, as I have been assured in all quarters that in millions and millions of middle-class and working-class homes in America, setting aside society' at the top and the dregs at the bottom, alcohol has disappeared not only from the lives but from the thought of the people." Mr. Midgley comments on the fact that there are 'thousands of women in America who divide their families in two. The earlier babies were born like too many of the children of the poor. The COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying CALENDAR UP FOR REFORM—San Bernardino Sun At the recent convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a resolution was passed, recommending a reform in the calendar which has been under discussion for some years. This reform is for the purpose of making it more regular. The Gregorian and Julian calendars readjusted the irregularities which had accumulated at the times they were declared by imperial decree but they did not simplify the months and year. Instead of ten months, which originally comprised the year, they made twelve months, which is far less desirable than the decimal system. They also assigned to the months a varying number of days, which nobody seems to be sure of even at the present day without reciting; "Thirty days has September, April, June and November." February has twenty-eight alone, and all the rest have thirty-one." That is not hard to remember, but the varying days have caused a lot of trouble in their time. It is proposed now to make the calendar month and the lunar month correspond. This means that every month would have exactly four weeks of seven days each, each week beginning with Sunday and each month also. This would make all calculations easy. The same day of the month would fall on the same day of the week all the time. If one was born on Friday his birthday would always be on Friday, whether he thought it lucky or not, and Christmas would always fall on Wednesday, and the Fourth of July on Thursday. April Fool day would invariably be on Sunday, which might stop some of the foolishness. There would have to be thirteen months instead of twelve, for the naming of which some newspaper might offer a prize, and it would give us one extra day each year besides the special day on leap year. This extra day would be intercalated between December 28 and January 1, and be called the "year day", not counting as part of a week. The leap-year day might be taken care of at that time also, or left for a special day in February, just as might be determined, it making no real difference. All this is too sensible for our adoption now. We have not had the good sense the world over to agree upon the metric system of weights and measures and the decimal system of coinage. To reform the calendar by international agreement in this way would appear to be even more difficult than those needed reforms. ABOUT FRIENDSHIP Confucius opined: "To contract ties of friendship with anyone is to contract friendship with his virtue. There ought not to be any other motive in friendship." But men wish us to contract friendship with their vice also. It is not enough to overlook their faults; no, we must approve or excuse them. For friendship's sake, we must see to be right that which we know to be wrong. Mr. Midgley, "that over-rides all this contradictory evidence is, as I have been assured in all quarters, that in millions and millions of middle-class and working-class homes in America, setting aside society' at the top and the dregs at the bottom, alcohol has disappeared not only from the lives but from the thought of the people." Mr. Midgley comments on the fact that there are 'thousands of women in America who divide their families in two. The earlier babies were born like too many of the children of the poor. The 'Prohibition' babies were prepared for, had clothes waiting for them, and were welcomed into a home where father did not escape from the worry in a drinking bout." It is his opinion that the enormous increase in savings, the improvement in general health, and the expansion of spending are not entirely due to prohibition, but "it is nowhere seriously denied that prohibition has had a large share in bringing them about." "It is a strong sight" he says, "to see in one of the big terminal stations of New York about 6 o'clock in the evening, a regular stream of men and women on the way home from offices, calling for glasses of milk. "One thing that looks strong to an Englishman," he states, "is the fact that Americans do not consider prohibition so much as an abolition as they do a process. They believe that it will take a generation to make the law completely effective but that it will inevitably be completely effected in due time." He contrasts the attitude toward law of England and America, saying that in London they have on the cages of exhibited animals the request, "Please do not feed the animals" and people do not feed them, while in New York they have notices "Three hundred dollars fine for feeding these animal" and the people do. "Prohibition helps production," says Mr. Midgley. "Americans believe in a bigger output and a better business. It is their ark of the covenant and they are convinced that prohibition will help it along." ABOUT FRIENDSHIP Confucius opined, "To contract ties of friendship with anyone is to contract friendship with his virtue. There ought not to be any other motive in friendship." But men wish us to contract friendship with their vice also. It is not enough to overlook their faults; no, we must approve or excuse them. For friendship's sake, we must see to be right that which we know to be wrong. "True friendship can afford true knowledge," said Henry Thoreau. "It does not depend on darkness and ignorance. If I can see my friend's virtues more distinctly than another's, his faults too are made more conspicuous by contrast. We have not so good a right to hate any as our friend." Faults are not the less faults because they are invariably balanced by corresponding virtues, and for a fault there is no excuse, though it may appear greater than it is in many ways. "I have never known one who could bear criticism, who could not be flattered, who would not bribe his judge, or was content that the truth should be loved always better than himself." It is impossible to say all that we think, even to our truest friend. No matter how well two persons understand each other, the exposure by one of a serious fault in the other, will produce a misunderstanding. What is commonly honored with the name of friendship, is, if seemed to Thoreau, no very profound or powerful instinct. "Men do not, after all, love their friends greatly. I do not see men made scars and wise to the verge of insanity by their friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other's presence. I do not observe them purified, refined and elevated by the love of man." If one abates a little the price of his coal or groceries, or clothing, or whatever it is he sells, or gives his neighbor his vote, or takes him automobile riding frequently, it is esteemed a rare instance of friendship. Surely true friendship is something greater than this. To say that a man is your friend means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy, opined Thoreau. Mortgage Guarantee Co. 626 So.

ATTACHIVE TERMS - PROMOTION & CONFERENCES INVITED THE BEST OF ADVICE EVEN YOUTH MUST CONSERVE STRENGTH There are two ways of reaching a great age, both of which presuppose a sound constitution. These are illustrated by Arthur Albers flapjack flour EVEN YOUTH MUST CONSERVE STRENGTH There are two ways of reaching a great age, both of which presuppose a sound constitution. These are illustrated by Arthur Schopenhauer with two lamps, one of which burns a long time with very little oil, because it has a very thin wick, and the other just as long, though it has a very thick one, because there is plenty of oil to feed it. Here, the oil is the vital energy, and the difference in the wick is the manifold way in which the vital energy is used. Up to our thirty-sixth year, we may be compared, in respect of the way in which we use our vital energy, to people who live on the interest of their money; what they spend today, they have again tomorrow. But from the age of thirty-six onward, our position is like that of the investor who begins to entrench upon his capital. At first he hardly notices any difference at all, as the greater part of the expense is covered by the interest of his securities; and if the deficit is but slight, he pays no attention to it. But if the deficit goes on increasing, until he awakens to the fact that it is becoming more serious every day; his position becomes less and less secure, and he feels himself growing poorer and poorer, while he has no expectation of this drain upon his resources coming to an end. His fall from wealth to poverty becomes faster every moment—like the fall of a solid body in space, until at last he has absolutely nothing left. A man is truly in a woeful plight if both terms of his comparison—his vital energy and his wealth—really begin to melt away at the same time. It is the dread of this calamity that makes love of possession increase with age. Schopenhauer observes. Albers flapjack flour Here is the pancake flour the West takes to its heart—and its stomach. And you don't have to be a "sharp" at cross-word puzzles to figure out the reason: flavor! No other pancake flour can hope to rise to the flavor-heights of Flapjack; because no other pancake flour is blended in quite the same way. For instance: No cornmeal or other heavy ingredient goes into Albers Flapjack Flour. The leavening is highest-quality. Even the salt used is as fine an texture as the flour itself. Everything that goes into Flapjack Flour goes in for just one reason: To make sure you'll get light-and-airy, tender-and-tasty hot cakes every time.
