DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS See that the feelings, thoughts, actions, of each hour are pure and true; then will your life be such. The wide pasture is but separate spires of grass; the sheeted bloom of the prairies but isolated flowers.—Anonymous. Gice, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete walthal it shall be measured to you again.—Luke 6:38. REAL SERVICE A speaker told a Glendale audience recently that the happiest man is one who is doing the most for others, and he advised his hearers to go and try it if they didn't believe it. There is no question but this man is right. Unselfishness is one of the most satisfactory virtues and it is worthy of cultivation. But sometimes it is difficult to draw the line between real service and the self-sacrificial kind that does the recipient more harm than good. And again it is hard to refrain from being officious and meddling when trying to find happiness via the service-to-others route. Robert Louis Stevenson said, "So long as we love, we serve" and it would seem that any service rendered others must have love for its incentive to be of any value. The attitude to be assumed by one who has done a service for another is clearly stated by Marcus Aurelius, when he says he "does not even know what he has done, but he is like a vine which has produced grapes, and seeks for nothing more after it has once produced its proper fruit." * * A man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce grapes again. What more dost thou want when thou hast done a man a service? Art thou not content that thou Robert Louis Stevenson said, "So long as we love, we serve" and it would seem that any service rendered others must have love for its incentive to be of any value. The attitude to be assumed by one who has done a service for another is clearly stated by Marcus Aurelius, when he says he "does not even know what he has done, but he is like a vine which has produced grapes, and seeks for nothing more after it has once produced its proper fruit." A man when he has done a good act does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce grapes again. What more dost thou want when thou hast done a man a service? Art thou not content that thou hast done something comfortable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing, or the feet should demand a recompense for walking? Doing good to others is sure to bring happiness, but deliberately seeking happiness by trying to do good to others is not likely to be successful. Someone says that happiness, if made the object of pursuit, leads us a wild goose chase and is never attained. Taxes cannot be lowered unless governmental appropriations are kept down. The people should insist upon strict economy in government. NAVAL WAR GAME HERE IS IMPRESSIVE The greatest of armadas is proceeding, under the American flag, to play a gigantic war game off the shores of California. No such array of naval power ever before has assembled in the Pacific. It is impressive. This is why it is most impressive— This vast power is maintained and maneuvered in the interest of peace! The ancient world knew no such thing. War in olden times was accepted as inevitable and as matter of course. Not so today. The world is living in a new and better era. Here is a great nation, with power almost limitless, which would not use that power aggressively against any unoffending nation or people on earth. Here is power maintained solely for defense—power used, not to make war or to provoke war, but to insure peace. So this spectacle of naval maneuvers is not a thing to alarm this country or to startle the world. It does not bode war, it angers peace. It is the world's assurance that America is heart and soul for peace and that this country will go to war only to defend itself. Get out from under the bondage of fear. There is no scorse thralldom than this. DO NOT DALLY ABOUT BIG RIVER PACT It is passing strange that, in face of the hazards and menaces that the future might bring as to water supply for this section, there should be dallying at Sacramento and at Phoenix. This state and its sister state—Arizona—should be in the forefront of the states of the Colorado River Basin in striving for ratification of the Colorado River pact. This was formulated after mature deliberation by representatives of the states of the Colorado Basin, and by federal representatives, including Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. A long period of time has elapsed since the preliminary agreements were reached. There is no warrant, it would seem, for additional delay. PARAGRAPH (By Robert Quillen) Gold hasn't a monopoly fluence in America. Then uminum. How utterly absurd to stealing the Isle of Pines out a good slogan. Satan is more decent than mans. He doesn't consell those people he does. Futility: A bride try make herself believe she care if he is bald. Doubtless man was man very beginning. Woman a monkey of him. Scientists say earthquake is predilecte France. There are but 8,632 who really think they know and most of them are loco Most of the virtue in give and forget combinatists in a bad memory. Libertarian: One blinding for a faith already to people he scorns. The term *bachelor* reasonable enough.

The states immediately affected should co-operate to bring about action by Congress as speedily as possible, so that the great work of damming the Colorado may begin. It will take many years to complete this task. It should begin without delay. FREE LECTURE ON Christian Science By Paul Stark Seeley, C.S.B., of Portland, Ore.

Mrs. Andiron had persuaded her husband to have his photo taken. But she was not at all pleased when the proofs came home. She hurried to the photographer. "These are not nice at all," she said crossly. "My husband looks like an ape." The photographer had had a busy morning and was badly disguised. "Really, madam," he retorted, "you should have thought of that before you had his photo taken." Incarceration behind steel bars, with criminals for companions, doesn't seem to us to be the proper treatment for one suffering from a disease of the mind. SUNSHINE PELETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON Funny how folks who drink corn liquor make wry faces. When you feast you will fatten, (If it's feasting you choose)—When you diet you'll flatten From the lard that you'll lose. Ever notice that those who hunt trouble usually find it! Only clean, sterile dressings should be applied to bleeding wounds, and tobacco quids, soot, cobwebs and the like are certainly not sterile. And soon the skeeter in the swamp Will stretch her wings and start to romp. Upon our forms o' nights; She'll put the ague in our bones From the blood of Willie Jones Who harbored parasites; She'll lay her eggs in empty cans While her eye the clister scaus, Dreading lost some cover bans Her safety when she bites. Sore throats, fevers, "colds" or rashes are very good reasons for keeping children home from school. All of these are symptoms of diseases that are communicable from the sick to the well. Screen early or swat late. Whom the gods would destroy they first make eat. And they used to catch people And pail them for debt, But jailing insane Is medieval yet.

HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EXERCISES AND DIGESTION (Continued) LYING ON BACK EXERCISES: 1. Hands extended over head. Raise upper body, keeping knees stiff—touch legs as far towards the feet as possible with finger tips. 2. Raise knees alternately to chest and return. Raise knees together to chest and return. 3. Raise and lower legs alternately—keeping the knees stiff and toes pointed downward. 4. Raise and laver both legs together as above. 5. Raise right leg to right angle with body, keeping the toes pointed downward—then chane position of right and left leg vigorously without allowing the heels to touch the floor. Try to breathe naturally during this exercise. 6.

(To be continued) They Come Back Like You Want 'em One thing about shirts and collars—they need special attention when it comes to laundering. Soft collars, starched collars, semi-soft collars, roll fronts, shirts with or without collar attached—all require the professional laundering that we are prepared to give. The ironing is done on special machines so that every collar and every shirt keeps its proper shape. They come back like you want 'em. Send us your next bundle. WM.

Santa Fe Ave. FULLERTON 26 MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1925 WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS TSUNEDO MATSUDAIRA Who is Tsumedo Matsudaira and what has he accomplished so far that would make him merit a trust so important at this time as the Japanese ambassadorship to the United States? He is the third son of Morio Matsudaira, at one time the Dalmyo or feudal lord of Alzu. He was born in 1877. After being graduated in law from the Imperial University in Tokio he entered the foreign service and was assigned to Peking. After five years there he was transferred to London, where, except for a few months in Paris, he remained until 1910, when he was recalled to Tokyo to take charge of the revision of certain commercial treaties between Japan and various foreign powers. When this work was completed he was again sent to China, this time as consul general at Tientsin, where he remained during the difficult world war period. Following this he was sent to Siberia as head of the Political Section of the headquarters of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces. Matsudaira is an expert on Russian affairs. He represented Japan in the Changchun parley in 1922, and in the more recent negotiations in Tokio, and although since 1920 he has been the head of the European and American sections of the foreign office, he also handled Russian affairs. In other words, he is a man of wide knowledge, a thoroughly trained diplomat, and incidentally one of the ablest men in the Japanese foreign service. Prior to his choice as Japanese ambassador to Washington he was vice minister of foreign affairs. To Matsudaira should go the credit for overriding Japanese objection in high quarters to the American round-the-world flight, which except for him might at least have been postponed for another year. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying STATE RIGHTS MISAPPLIED—Stockton Independent President Coolidge recently suggested that inheritance taxes should be foregone as a means of federal revenue and should be copeal inheritance taxes. Now the California Development Association wants California to repeal inheritance taxes. The reason advanced is that other states have repealed (or failed to enact) such taxes in order to attract wealthy citizens. Well, if the states enter into such a competition, they will leave the field clear for the federal government. The chief objection to the present system is its dual character—the state and the nation each takes a cut and often there is not much left. States regret federal encroachment, but it is largely because there is no uniform system of legislation among the states. In order to make it physically possible for railroads to cross state lines, the national government had to take over the field of regulation. If certain states seek to profit by concessions to wealth as Florida is doing, to become the official home of corporations looking for easy corporation laws, as New Jersey, or for the mismatched seeking easy divorce, as Nevada—if this sort of thing continues it will result in more federal "encroachment" on state's right. The way for the states to maintain their rights is not to sell them for a mess of potage. THE MIRROR OF MAN The large sale of such biographies and autobiographies as those of Walter Hines Page, Edward Bok, Mark Twain, General Gorgas and Samuel Gompers is only more evidence of Carlyle's assertion that man's sociality of nature evinces itself in the unspeakable delight he takes in biography. It is written, "The proper study of mankind is man," and "Man is perennially interesting to man." Carlyle had these observations in mind when he wrote: "How inexpressibly comfortable to know our fellow-creature; to see into him, understand his goings-forth, decipher the whole heart of his mystery: nay, not only to see into him, but even to see out of him, to view the world altogether as he views it; so that we can theoretically construe him, and could almost practically personate him; and do now thoroughly discern both what manner of man he is, and what manner of thing he has got to work and love on!" A scientific interest and a poetic one allike inspire us in this matter. edge, a thoroughly trained diplomat, and incidentally one of the giblest men in the Japanese foreign service.

COMFORT AND CLEAR VISION Many Costly Errors As well as that distressing headache are caused by faulty indistinct vision. E. C. KENDRICK Optometrist 155 W. Center St., Anaheim It is written, "The proper study of mankind is man," and "Man is perennially interesting to man." Carlyle had these observations in mind when he wrote: "How inexpressibly comfortable to know our fellow-creature; to see into him, understand his goings-forth, decipher the whole heart of his mystery: nay, not only to see into him, but even to see out of him, to view the world altogether as he views it; so that we can theoretically construe him, and could almost practically personate him; and do now thoroughly discern both what manner of man he is, and what manner of thing he has got to work and love on!" A scientific interest and a poetic one alike inspire us in this matter. A scientific: because every mortal has a Problem of Existence set before him, which, were it only the Problem of keeping the soul and both together, must be to a certain extent original; unlike any other; and yet, at the same time, so like every other; like our own, therefore; instructive, moreover, since we are also indentured to live. A poetic interest still more, Carlyle observed: for precisely the same struggle of human Free-will against material Necessity, which every man's Life, by the mere circumstance that the man continues alive, will more or less victoriously exhibit,—is that which above all else, or rather inclusive of all else, calls the sympathy of mortal hearts into action. Looking with the eyes of every new neighbor, he can discern a new world different for each: feeling with the heart of every neighbor, he lives with every neighbor's life, even as with his own. Of these millions of living men, each individual is a mirror to us; a mirror both scientific and poetic; or, if you will, both natural and magical—from which one would so gladly draw aside the gauze veil; and, peering therein, discern the image of his own natural face, and the supernatural secrets that prophetically lie under the same."
