WAR AGITATION INCURS PRESIDENT'S IRE President Coolidge is not a jingoist. He has no patience with jingoism. He is not a militarist. He has no patience with militaristic proposals or tendencies. Mr. Coolidge is represented, in Washington dispatches, as being much displeased with the propaganda which is agitating a huge army and navy, to compete with the armament that Japan is alleged to be constructing. The suggestion of inevitable war between this country and Japan is being made and this is very obnoxious to President Coolidge. The President is determined to use his influence, the news dispatches indicate, to put an end to this war agitation. He is set firmly against entering into competitive building of armaments. The proposed strengthening of the United states Navy is coming in the natural order, due to several warships becoming out of condition, and the Navy falling behind in certain types of warcraft. But, the President holds, this country is not so hopelessly weak in armament on land and sea as the propagandists would make appear. It is particularly regrettable and mischievous to be asserting, in public speeches and public prints, that Japan is preparing to make war on this country, and that the United States should prepare itself to make war on Japan. This form of jingoism is productive of bitterness and suspicion among nations and breeds the war spirit. There should be none of it war agitation.

This form of jingoism is productive of bitterness and suspicion among nations and breeds the war spirit. There should be none of it in this country. America's strengthening of armament should proceed in the natural course, without singling out any nation as the object of America's power. There is a right way to do these things. And there also is a wrong and pernicious way of doing them. The United States will be the world's chief granary for an indefinite period. Write a few letters each week boosting California. It's exhilarating. And it will do good. California will continue to grow and thrive long after its columniators have passed into oblivion. The growth and development of this state can no more be halted by falsehoods than the sun can be stayed in its course.

Prophecy THERE were few who shared the faith of the pioneers who undertook the development of the telephone. With an infant art to nourish constantly by new discovery and invention, and handicapped by scanty capital and public apathy, they held to their vision of a nation-wide service. Nearly two score years ago, when the telephones of the United States were fewer than those of a single New York borough today, the business was organized essentially like the Bell System of the present. That is: a central advisory staff, a central scientific organization devoted to development and research, a central department to promote progress in operating technique, a central source of supply of standardized material, local operating companies familiar with local needs, and a national net-work of lines interconnecting these companies. Telephone pioneers planned this organization structure, believing it necessary for efficient and economical national service. The nation's experience has proved the clearness of their vision.

Humble people usually have something up their sleeves. A hick town is one that is proud of having so many millionaires. If life is a play, most of us are mere scene shifters. Marry in haste isn't a bad idea. You're never too sure of the groom. A cynic is one who thinks dry agents the best money can buy. Regular exercise isn't always essential to success, however. Look at the oyster. Every town is a good town to the man who is appointed on committees. Neighbors seldom forgive you after breaking the tools they borrow from you. Tact is just the art of making the other fellow feel more important than yourself. Modern Americans who go to Paris in quest of something naughty are hard to satisfy. It isn't an exciting movie unless you forget that your feet are intermixed with your neighbor's. Men are classed as good and bad. The classifying is done by the good. A six or eight-hour day is purty soft, but how'd you like t' be a king an' not even have t' be available? Who recalls when a feller's head, an' not his intestines, helped him on t' success? DINNER STORIES A retired insurance agent was telling a friend some of his experiences: "I once got a man to take out a $50,000 life insurance policy," he said, "only the day before he was killed." "My word!" replied the friend. "That was rough on the company. I expect you wished you had not sold him the policy." "It was fortunate for me; I am his heir." May I ask the cause of all this A retired insurance agent was telling a friend some of his experiences: "I once got a man to take out a $50,000 life insurance policy," he said, "only the day before he was killed." "My word!" replied the friend. "That was rough on the company. I expect you wished you had not sold him the policy." "It was fortunate for me; I am his heir." May I ask the cause of all this excitement?" asked the stranger in the little village. "Certainly," replied the countryman. "We're celebrating the birthday of the oldest inhabitant sir. She's a hundred and one today." "Indeed- And may I ask who is that little man, with the dreadfully sad countenance, walking by the old lady's side?" "Oh, that's the old lady's son-in-law, sir. He's been keeping up the payments on her life-insurance for the last 30 years!" Jean, aged 9, and Camille, 7, were having a heated discussion. "I am 7 years old," said Camille. "And I am 9," replied Jean. "But I shall be 9, too." "Yes, but then I'll be 11—he, he, he!" Camille, at once annoyed and outraged, looked for a crushing retort. "Yes, of course you'll be 11 when I'm 9. Well, you'll be an old woman before I am, that's all." When tubercular patients are able to educate their skins to stand very low temperatures without discomfort, we wonder why healthy, full blooded people engaged in active occupations, wear so many clothes!

The classifying is done by the good. A hick town is a place where the man with a manicure is a traveling salesman. Some Americans have the grand manner, but they lose it when dad stops the allowance. Uncle Sam feeds soldiers at 10 cents a meal, but the purchasing department isn't called a bureau. About all the vocabulary a cynical modern youth really needs is "Gimme" and "Blah." The United States spends $5,-000,000 a year for peanut candy. What price tummy-ache! An experienced cashier is one who automatically elevates his hands when a stranger appears.

This St., Chicago WHO'S WHO THE DAYS NEWS MAJOR GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTUR The distinction of being the largest major general in the army goes to Major General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur, a brigadier general, was ordained home from the Philippines and commanded the fourth army area and don the trappings of major general. He had been commanding a division in the Philippines. General MacArthur was 44 years of age when promoted. Although he is the youngest general in recent years, General MacArthur will not be the newest man who has held that high grade in the American military service. Alexander Hamilton became secretary of the treasury after serving in the war of the revolution, was only 41 years old when he was commissioned a major general. The youngest of American major generals was Harry Knox, the first American secretary of war, an officer in the solution and a member of Washington's cabinet. Knox had not turned the age of 32 when was appointed major general—a brevet major general, but a non-fledged officer of that rank. Born in Military Post Born Jan. 26, 1850, at Little Rock Barracks, Arkansas, young MacArthur determined early to equip his father, one of the few to hold the rank of lieutenant general. He was only 19 years old when in 1899 a competitive examination was held at Milwaukee to fill a vacancy existing West Point. MacArthur was one of the candidates, outdiscussed his competitors and won a appointment. After graduation he served on construction work in the Philippines; on the Pacific coast, where he past in operations once more. COMMENTS OF THE WEST—St. Paul Pioneer Press From the East westward in the wake of the wave has come a solemn warning. Conserve is the word. Conserve the remnant of game and fish. Conserve what is left of the forests. Conserve the land. States of the East have learned their lesson. They know they can not take all without famine. They are conserving their game, restocking their streams, repianning their forests, replenishing the soil. But what of the West and the Middle West. We call ourselves conservationists. We have game and fish laws. We are looking into the matter of forestry. We, too, have learned that land can be exhausted. Meanwhile we continue to exploit. What is left of the limber is falling. States find great obstacles to forestry. One hasn't the money. Another can't get enough people interested to authorize action. Another doesn't care because there are trees left to the westward. We are a summer playground. Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit us in the summer. Fish are being taken from the lakes and streams far faster than they are being replenished. Yet licenses on non-residents to hlp pay for re-stocking are not collected. Efforts to license residents meet opposition. Take what we have, say these shortsighted men—while there is any thing left! We have too much land—but we drain more, increase our surplus, penalize our farmers, impoverish the habitat of the wild fowl and animals, exhaust our reserve of water, dry up farmer's wells, deplete our streams and our lakes, and, through forest destruction, destroy the very source of our rainfall. Conservation is not keeping pace with exploitation. HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" PROTEID FOOD This element of food material is the most important substance used in the building of the body. It would be absolutely impossible for human life to exist if denied this indispensible material. Most of the tissues and bone structures are made from protein and could not be built or repaired by any other element. Just as steel is the material out of which a gasoline engine is made, so proteid food bears the same relation to the human body. Carrying the simile a little further, the carbohydrate foods, i.e., sugars and starches and sugars in the world were eaten at one time, they could olive or energy to run the human engine. But, if all the pure PROTEID FOOD This element of food material is the most important substance used in the building of the body. It would be absolutely impossible for human life to exist if denied this indispensable material. Most of the tissues and bone structures are made from proteid and could not be built or repaired by any other element. Just as steel is the material out of which a gasoline engine is made, so proteid food bears the same relation to the human body. Carrying the simile a little further, the carbohydrate foods, i.e., the sugars and starches and sugars in the world were eaten at one time, they could oline, or energy, to run the human engine. But, if all the pure starches and sugars in the world were eaten at one time, they could not furnish material for the building of a single useful cell of the body, any more than gasoline could be made into an engine. If more proteid is used than is necessary, on the other hand, for building and repairing the body, this extra proteid can be converted into energy. The best evidence of this is seen in the case of the carnivorous animals, and those human tribes where meat is absolutely the only article of food. I wish to bring out this point clearly, as there is much erroneous teaching upon the subject principally by those who are anxious to condemn meat as a food. Many vegetable foods and cereals contain a large percentage of proteid, which is taken up by the body in the same way as the proteid in meat; but often the combination with the starches in the same food is of such proportion that excess fermentation takes place, and sufficient toxemia is produced to more than offset the value of the vegetable proteid. (To be continued.) WASH DAY IS WHENEVER YOU NEED WASHING DONE Why should Monday be "the goat?" If you have launder-ing to be done on Wednesday, why put it off? With the housewife who does it at home, the reason is that she doesn't want Monday misery scattered over the week. One big, tragic, back-bending day of drudgery to start off the week with and then try to forget it until the calendar brings it around again. With us washday is the day you want your clothes launered. Don't wait until Monday. In fact we may be able to give you quicker service Wednesday or Thursday, for then the rush due to the Monday mania is over. WM. GILMORE, ANAHEIM AGENT, Phone 20 The Sanitary Laundry 825 West A. W.
