ADEQUATE DEFENSES IN AIR ESSENTIAL There has been considerable controversial discussion in Congress and in hearings before committees of Congress, as to the adequacy or inadequacy of the air defenses of the Nation. There are sharp differences of opinion. The laity, of course, cannot pass intelligent judgment upon the situation, because the public does not have definite and unmistakable knowledge. But officials of the War and Navy departments are in position to know, not only the exact air strength of this country, but how it compares with the air equipment of other countries. The people must trust to these official representatives in these things. For, manifestly, it would be unwise to disclose everything in connection with the air service or with any other branch of national defense. There should be insistence, however, on the part of the public, that America's strength in the air be sufficient to insure national safety, should this country be attacked. Meantime, should President Coolidge call another international arms conference, it is to be hoped that the limitation knowledge.

Meantime, should President Coolidge call another international arms conference, it is to be hoped that the limitation of air armament may be agreed upon between the United States and other great powers. It would conduce greatly to the conservation of peace to have an international compact limiting aerial military forces. MINER INVENTOR WINS FIGHT FOR RICHES From being a poor "desert rat," living in poverty, and beating about from pillar to post, George Campbell Carson is within grasp of millions of dollars. His invention of a process used in smelting has been upheld by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Unless there should be additional litigation, in which the picturesque miner-inventor would be worsted, he will have an immense fortune—estimated at $20,000,000—to give color to his later years. This is one of the tricks that Dame Fortune plays, at times. Sometimes there come reversals—suddenly from great riches to poverty. And at other times from poverty to great riches. This man of the great outdoors, who has wandered about the West since early boyhood, and who is now living in a cheap sailor-lodging house in San Francisco, cannot be made especially happy by the possession of great riches. He will learn—should he get his anticipated fortune—that wealth does not necessarily bring happiness and contentment. It might even wreck his happiness. It might lead him into excesses which would darken, rather than brighten his life. What should a man of fifty-eight, injured to toil and poverty, do with millions of dollars, suddenly thrust upon him? What would you do, who read this? Use it for personal, self-fish ends? Or use it in extensive philanthropies? The chief pleasure in riches is in using wealth for the benefit and happiness of others. Wealth, in and of itself, is a burden—more often the source of misery than of happiness. DOES YOUR WATCH KEEP TIME? IF NOT, BRING IT TO US! Special Attention to Ladies' Wrist Watches E. C.

The owner trotted him around for inspection and bringing him back to the prospect he stroked the horse's back and remarked, "Hasn't he a lovely coat?" The prospect removed his pipe from his mouth and sald, as he looked at the heaving flanks of the animal. "Yeah, his coat's all right, but I don't like his pants." She was two hours late for her appointment. "You should carry a watch," he said. "I always break them, dear," she explained. "Well, you might at any rate carry a calendar," he replied sarcastically. Over in Scotland, where they make their liquor strong and their women weep, there was an old duffer who varnished his tonsils daily. One day he strolled into the bar when the barkeeper was polishing the brass and received the usual dose of "hand." otherwise known as "five fingers." After he had left, the barkeeper discovered that he had served the customer a glass of the sulphuric acid which he used in polishing. The next day the old man came back for more. "Why, mon, how was the whiskey I sold you yesterday?" solicitously asked the barkeeper. "Ach, it was great; but, to be sure, it burnt off all me whiskers." "My goodness!" remarked the old gentleman as he stopped the young lad with the fine catch of trout. "You've had a very successful day, young man. Where did you catch all these fish?"

Eat only when really hungry and nothing but the simpest and plainest of food. Do not eat anything at all if it is necessary to excite the appetite with condiments, spices, etc. The body can never be hungry for a pickle, but only excited by it. Hungry and appetite are really very different and one must not be mistaken for the other. 2. Do not eat if you are tired, but first of all refresh yourself with rest, as you will only be hungry when strong and well poised. Although appetite may exist for food because of tasty-looking dishes, the food that you eat when in an exhausted condition will only act as a poison to you, because there will not be enough energy to digest it. 3. When exercise is taken before a meal there should always be a sufficient period of relaxation before commencing to eat. 4. Regularity of meals is important, as the digestive organs seem to function much better of accustomed to periodical rest and work. 5. Three well-balanced meals seems to be the best rule to follow, unless assimilation is so perfect that two meals are sufficient. In that event it is best to ensure the noodday meal and use only breakfast and dinner, making two fast periods of twelve hours each. 6. Each meal should be made as simple as possible and with the smallest number of combinations of food stuffs. Variety may be introduced at the different meals, however, so as not to repeat a certain food unless especially preferred. (To be continued.) MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying MR. COOLIDGE FOR SIMPLE INAUGURAL—Santa Barbara News Official Washington is disappointed. Following a long period when the capital was under the cloud of illness, death and mourning, it was hoped that the President would consent to make the inauguration a great state occasion which naturally would result in a whirl of social activity. But Mr. Coolidge refuses to be made the center of a great show. True to his demand for economy he frowns on the proposal to return to the old time custom of making an inauguration a great spectacle, rivaling in splendor the crowning of kings. President Coolidge is a lover of the simple life. He is disinclined to make a show of state affairs any more than the customs of official etiquette demand. He believes that it would be foolish to argue for economy and preach the necessity for the practice of self denial and at the same time himself indulge in a money spending orgy merely because he is to take the path of office and enter upon a new term. It is unfortunate that Washington society should be deprived of the opportunity to shine at an official ball. It is relegated from a society view, that the President falls to see the necessity for an elaborate celebration of the inauguration, but he will have back of him the mass of the American people in his refusal to give to a normal democratic function a touch of royal splendor. VENGEANCE EXPLAINED Have you ever yielded to a desire for vengeance? It's a human trait. In the ordinary man injustice fouses a passionate desire for vengeance; and it has often been said that vengeance is sweet. How many sacrifices have been made just to enjoy the feeling of vengeance, without any intention of causing an amount of injury equivalent to what one has suffered? The bitter death of the centaur Nessus was sweetened by the certainty that he had used his last moments to work out an extremely clever revenge. Walter Scott in one of his novels expressed the same human inclination: "Vengeance is the sweetest morsel to the mouth that was ever cooked in hell!" Schopenhauer, attempting a psychological explanation of it, wrote: "Suffering which fails to our lot in the course of nature, or by chance, or fate, does not seem so painful as suffering which is inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another. This is because we look upon nature and chance as the fundamental masters of the world; we see that the blow we received from them might just as much as another." The bitter death of the centaur Nessus was sweetened by the certainty that he had used his last moments to work out an extremely clever revenge. Walter Scott in one of his novels expressed the same human inclination: "Vengeance is the sweetest morsel to the mouth that was ever cooked in hell!" Schopenhauer, attempting a psychological explanation of it, wrote: "Suffering which falls to our lot in the course of nature, or by chance, or fate, does not seem so painful as suffering which is inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another. This is because we look upon nature and chance as the fundamental masters of the world; we see that the blow we received from them might just as well have fallen on another. In the case of suffering which splings from this source we bewail the common lot of humanity rather than our own misfortune. But that it is the arbitrary will of another which inflicts the suffering, is a peculiarly bitter addition to the pain or injury it causes, viz., the consciousness that some one else is superior to us, whether by force or cunning, while we lie helpless. If amends are possible, amends heal the injury; but that bitter addition, 'and it was you did that to me,' which is often more painful than the injury itself, is only to be neutralized by vengeance. By inflicting injury on the one who has injured us, whether we do it by force or cunning, is to show our superiority to him, and annul the proof of his superiority to us. That gives our hearts the satisfaction toward which it years. So where there is a great deal of pride or vanity, there also will be a great desire of vengeance. But as the fulfillment of every wish brings with it more or less of a sense of disappointment, so it is with vengeance. The delight we hope to get from it is mostly embittered by compassion. Vengeance taken will often tear the heart and torment the conscience; the motive to it is no longer active, and what remains is the evidence of our malice." THE Ford car has remained the undisputed leader for value in the motoring world. There are certain fundamental reasons why this is true. It is a car, properly designed and staunchly constructed, having a motor which has proved itself reliable, long-lived and economical. It is adequately serviced by an organization reaching to every community and neighborhood. These combine to give the Ford car the highest resale value in proportion to list price. And as production volume of the Ford has grown the purchase price has been steadily reduced.
