It is impossible for an artist to portray any bit of nature with entire sincerity and adequate power, without suggesting what every bit of nature suggests, a beauty above itself, and a power higher than that which is manifested in natural processes.—The Outlook. NEWSPAPER RECANTS ON CALIFORNIA LIBEL It doubtless is true that Southern California suffices much from misunderstandings, in the East and Middle West, rather than from deliberate misrepresentations. This section—as those who reside here know—is suffering from "growing pains." Its growth is so phenomenal that it most prepare for the future on phenomenal scale. The agitation that ensues here over providing for future needs is misinterpreted, back yonder, as being for present needs. Harry A. Wheeler, of Chicago, financier and economist, lays much of the criticism of Southern California to this source—to the misunderstanding of conditions and plans here. This is what Mr. Wheeler says about it: "You are planning for the years to come, and you talk freely of providing for a water supply adequate for your needs. Those who criticize Southern California immediately jump at conclusions and declare you have a water shortage. They fail to grasp the significance of what you are doing, not for the present, but for the future, and so Southern California suffers through this misrepresentation. Suppose you do have a year when the rainfall is not so great. There is nothing serious in that. You have had other such experiences, and you have come through without serious difficulties." "You are planning for the years to come, and you talk freely of providing for a water supply adequate for your needs. Those who criticize Southern California immediately jump at conclusions and declare you have a water shortage. They fail to grasp the significance of what you are doing, not for the present, but for the future, and so Southern California suffers through this misrepresentation. Suppose you do have a year when the rainfall is not so great. There is nothing serious in that. You have had other such experiences, and you have come through without serious difficulties." This is a fair and friendly way to view the situation. It is well, in discussing plans to meet future needs, to impress the fact that it is future needs, and not present requirements, that are being discussed. Make clear that this section is providing for a greater future—that there is no menace in the present and that there is to be no menace to the future, because of foresighted providing for its needs.

The question seriously might be propounded: "Are there not too many books?" Comes now W. W. Ellsworth, former president of the Century Company, who is an authority on books, who says that one could not read all the books written about Shakespeare, even though one devoted a lifetime to it. Not fewer than 48,000 books and article have been written about the great hard of Avon. It would require 132 years to read all of these, Mr. Ellsworth estimates! And these books are but a "drop in the bucket." There are books by thousands, by tens of thousands, by millions. There are books in bewildering profusion, dealing with every conceivable subject. It is confusing to the average reader, who must either wade through acres of books and make his own choice, or else depend upon Dr. Eliot or others to choose "the world's best" in books. But if one is reasonably discriminating, one is sure to have abundance of good literature for life, to enrich one's mind and to broaden one's spiritual horizon.

COURAGE comes next to dence as a quality of mind vital to happiness, it seems wise old Schopenhauer. It is that no one can endow him with either, since a man lives both; still, if he has those titles, he can do much to det them by means of resolve ease. In this world, where the is played with loaded dice they say, a man must have, the Schopenhauer's phrase, a ten of iron, with armor proof the blows of fate, and weapons make his way against men. "It is a cowardly soul shrinks or grows faint and spondent as soon as the storm gins to zather, or even when first cloud appears on the zon," said Schopenhauer. "Our motto should be SURRENDER"; and far yielding to the ill of life, take fresh courage from tune." As long as the issue of matter fraught with peril t in doubt, and there is yet possibility left that all may anything but right, no one should think anything but resistance—just man should not despair or weather if he can see a bit of sky anywhere.

A new England woman who had recently moved to a remote So Carolina plantation home handed an egg and a small minute glass to the old colored cook who was part of the estate and said to her, "Boll this by the glass until it runs through three times." In a little while the woman stepped in to the kitchen and asked whether the egg were not ready. "Law, no, Miss 'Mella,' was the astonishing reply. 'I bite um right side an' side wild de leetle wasp-wals' bottle, but dis big egg ain't able to run troo un de fast time yet!" SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. E.

HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE PAST WAY TO HEALTH" PROTEID FOOD (Continued) RULE FOR PROTEIDS I have found that it has been possible to simplify the regulations governing the use of different foods by drawing up a set of rules which should be committed to memory, and which can be regarded as a positive guide in the selection of suitable meals. The protoid rule is: "USE ONE PROTEID ONLY WITH ONE OR MORE COOKED OR RAW NON-STARCHY VEGETABLES." As an amplification or extension of this rule, raw or cooked tomatoes may be added, and sweet fruit, or jello, if desired. This means, in practical terms, that with your roast beef you should not take any potatoes or bread, but should content yourself with tilling up with non-starchy vegetables, both cooked and raw. A sample meal and a good selection would be any of the following: 1. Roast beef, cooked spinach and asparagus, head lettuce, stewed prunes. 2. Broiled chicken, cooked celery, with salad of lettuce and tomatoes. 3. Belgian hare, cooked string beans, summer squash, raw celery, jello. 4. Fillet of sole, and salad of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying PAROLE LAW TOO LENIENT—Glendale News The parole system for prisoners is splendid in theory, but it has been so shamefully abused in California that it has been productive of more harm than good. The probation system is economical both for the state and the prisoner if it is rightly used. If a prisoner has committed but one offense, is not criminally inclined and wants a chance to show that he can make good, there is no need for the state to be taxed to keep him in prison, but when he is paroled he should be compelled to report to someone in authority at frequent intervals, until he has demonstrated unmistakably that he is again entitled to citizenship. Apparently the custom has been, in this state, to turn the prisoner loose and forge about him. A short time ago a young man was arrested for burglary in a near-by county and it was learned that he was on parole from San Quentin and had committed no less than fourteen offenses against the law since his release. Instances of like nature have been too numerous throughout the state. Orange county is up in arms because a dentist of that county who was convicted of an atrocious crime and sent to prison was paroled at the end of six months. Likewise, San Bernardino county is agitated over the case of former City Manager Alford of Ontario, who was convicted of embezzling large sums of money from the city and sent to San Quentin eighteen months ago. Very recently the people of Outario were amazed to learn that Alford had been at liberty for some time on parole. The San Bernardino county grand jury has called the state board of prison directors as witnesses to be investigated, but nothing can be done by this method. Since the pardon board has acted entirely within the law in granting Alford's parole. The law says a murderer sentenced for life may be paroled after seven years and a first-term convict whose sentence is not life and whose conduct in prison has been exemplary may apply for a parole after one year in prison, no matter what the character of his offense. Why go to the expense of a trial if the prisoner is to be turned loose almost immediately, regardless of the nature of his offense or the length of his sentence? Only the legislature can correct this evil by curtailing the powers of the parole board. "THERE IS NO DEATH" Is life worth living? Samuel Butler's answer was: "This is a question for an embryo, not for a man." After all, man's greatest concern is not whether life is worth living, but the significance of death. All of us think of it a great deal. All of us wonder about Mr. Conan-Doyle's claims regarding the after-life. Many of us look upon death as the "Great Adventure." Most of us fear it. Divested of the superstition and glamour which usually surround it, death assumes the appearance of an intensely interesting scientific problem, both from its psychological and its physiological aspects. "THERE IS NO DEATH" Is life worth living? Samuel Butler's answer was: "This is a question for an embryo, not for a man." After all, man's greatest concern is not whether life is worth living, but the significance of death. All of us think of it a great deal. All of us wonder about Mr. Conan-Doyle's claims regarding the afterlife. Many of us look upon death as the "Great Adventure." Most of us fear it. Divested of the superstition and glamour which usually surround it, death assumes the appearance of an intensely interesting scientific problem, both from its psychological and its physiological aspects. Death is universally recognized as the inevitable fate of every living thing. Yet human ingenuity has not yet succeeded in formulating a definition that will adequately cover this last experience of man. To say that death is "the cessation of life," is to largely avoid the question. Spencer pronounced life to be "the continued adjustment of internal to external relations," and death a want of correspondence between these relations, but even this definition is not wholly satisfactory. In an extraordinary book recently published, "Injury, Recovery, and Death: In Relation to Conductivity and Permeability," Prof. W. J. V. Osterman shows that living things can be, so to say, a certain per cent dead, a certain per cent alive; that they can be killed fifty per cent and recover, but if they are killed ninety per cent, they do not recover, and so forth. We have no adequate definition for death, but we now know it occupies a useful place in the process of evolution. As Dr. Hereward Carrington explains: "Without death, evolution would have been impossible, for as life becomes increasingly more organized and complex, life prevails. Death assists in the general scheme of creation; it has a great utility. Unless death had supervened, the more finely organized and fairer forms of life would not have appeared. The course of life would have been arrested. Man himself would not have appeared. The earth before us had died that we might live." "We are the living children of a world that has died for us." Death, therefore, it can be said, was not introduced into Nature's plan for the sake of annihilating life, but that it might help and hasten the progress of life. Viewed in his larger point, therefore, we must recognize the utility of death as a means of prolonging life; not for the purpose of destroying it. "I come not to destroy, but to fulfill." Death is a terrible thing, but that is no reason why we should be afraid of it. Rather, we should regard it as a deliverer from a life which might otherwise become unbearable; and, when this is not the case, it proves, merely, that such a death has been premature. As such, it is not death itself which is terrible; but the premature termination of an otherwise useful life. We in America are too prone to take it for granted that the laws make the cities; that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living, and employments of the population; that commerce education and religion, may be voted in or out; and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people, if only you will get sufficient votes to make it a law."
