Well, well.'' said the tall, lank householder as he peered from the front window interestedly across the street, "can it be that Euphenia is so shortsighted as to be taking up music at this late day?

 Come away from that window" commanded his wife. I'm ashamed the way you spy on that poor girl!
 You're as well acquainted with all her beaux as though you lived in the house and you seem possessed to keep tab on her actions! Why shouldn't she take up music, I'd like to know?"
 My poor child" said the tall, lank householder with emotion, you are an unsophisticated little thing, aren't you? I don't suppose you realize that from this brief glimpse of Euphemia have discovered that all is over and off between her and that last young man, whom I never did like, anyhow, Realizing that the supply of young men has run out till after the war, and nunneries being out of fashion, Duphemia is going to drown her sor- rows in music.

IN THE EARTHQUAKE BELT.

While 1t is fully understood in Cali fornia that earthquakes are things which cannot be disregarded, it has been shown from time to time that there is little or nothing that can be done fin the way of anticipating them. The effects have got to be accepted whenever and wherever they occur.
 It is well known that that is a re- zion where such disturbances can be expected st most any time. For a number of months there nave been similar quakes to the south in Central America That did not of necessity mean that the towns in southern Call 1fornia were scheduled for similar vis- itations at this time. and the fact that they have just now gone through an undesirable experience does not mean that there will not be more earth quakes and possibly worse ones right an top of what has happened.

Allied armies. Some of the distances are:-
 Private Debrun of the 18th infantry regiment, 220 feet in one direction, 20S feet in the other direction, an average of 211 feet, 6 inches.
 Private Bacnacou of the 18th in- fantry regiment, 210 feet, Il inches in one direction, POP feet ' inches in the other, an average of 206 feet, inches.
 The grenade thrown weighs i pound and ? ounces. In competitions two throws are made in opposite directions and the average distance is credited to the thrower. Thus no competitor ob- tains any advantage from the lay of the ground.
 Other competitions take account of the accuracy of the throw and of the speed with which the grenades are thrown. The best performance regis tere hitherto in this latter. competi- ton is that of Private Aptel of the 18th infantry regiment who, in one minute, threw A grenades with which | he made 27 direct hits at distance of 75 feet on a target about S feet ] high by 6 feet wide.

HIGHWAY SAFETY.

The record of automobile accidents and fatalities which is given out by the motor vehicles department of the state for the month of March shows that there were S5 accidents reported turing the S1 days, which is at the rate of almost three a day. and as the result of these accidents there were nine fatalities, or more than two A week
 This report of course covers only the reported accidents, but there are req Eons to believe that there were others pf which the department has no in- formation. although such in all prob ability did not cause any serious re- Sults.
 With the record before it, however. the motor vehicles department cer- iainly finds sufficient reason for in- listing upon a better observance of he automobile laws even if it is re- uuired 10 devote greater attention to the enforcement. In such a record. and unless there is better observ- unce it can be expected that it will grow greater in the succeeding months when a larger use is being made of the highways by such vehicles, there unquest1onably lies the reason for the policy recently adopted Of placing rep resentatives of the department on the highways of the state for the purpose of seeing that the requirements of the law are lived up to.
 It is certainly proper that those who are not disposed to obey the law and sec that the rights of others to the nse of the highways are respected must be made to. Such a move is highly commendable and it is to bs hoped that the efforts to overcome tht conditions will result in the improve. ment that is so greatly needed.

LOOKING IN THE RIGHT DiREc.
 TON.

There islto be a readjustment of the aircraft programme. This has been decided and it has come as the result of the disclosures which have been made regarding the failure of the present method of producing airpianes fin this country Just what this read justment is going to be has not been clearly set forth. It has been left for the secretary of war to carry out along lines which have been agreed upon as necessary to meet the existing sit uation.
 Much was expected from the pres ent method of having an aircraft board direct this work. It may be that all the reasons for the failure to keep up with expectations and promises were not due to this board. There are always many underlying factors, but results are certainly not what they should be and instead of trying to claim that they are and continuing along the same lines a change is to be made, with the possibility that there will be a single directing head who will be directly responsible to the war department rather than to some other branch which is controlled by the war department.
 In recognition of the need of air planes and more airplanes, it cannot help being realized that this branch of the government operations should be placed on the most efficient basis. We cannot afford to follow failure with failure. One lesson is sufficient and action cannot be taken too quick ly to bring about the benefits of the remedy properly applied. Once such step is taken the aircraft produc- ton ought to proceed as effectively and satisfactorily as the needs of the nation demand.

WATCHING THE MExT MOVE.

On just what part of the western line the Teutonic forces are getting ready to renew their offensive has not been announced from the German headquarters. From the activity in which they are engaged, however, it Is possible from the observations of he airmen as to concentrations for the allies to judge pretty well as to where the next move will be made. From this method of deduction, the knowledge of the situation and tests hat are being made, the belief seems lo be reasonable that efforts will be directed from the region near Robecq on the north and Albert on the south for the purpose of biting off the Arras- Lens salient of the allies and thus se- cure that section which has so solidly stood against frontal and fianking at- tpcks.
 This pincerlike method of accom- plishing what cannot be secured oth- erwise has been employed before. It has been used to advantage on the eastern front, and the bending back of the allied line on the south part of the western front, followed by the drive into the line at the north leaves the enemy in a position to get around 70 the rear of Vimy ridge and the other strong defenses where the Ca nadian and other troops have refused to budge.
 This means that the allies, being forewarned, are going to be properly prepared to meet such operations. Ev- cry day is putting them in a better position to block such an effort and there is no reason to believe but what General Foch is thoroughly capable of handling his troops to the best ad vsntzge. whether a new formation or the old massed formation is pre- Sented

an almost degraded social position. When the British Army went across the channel it was said that the French were absolutely aghRst at the quantity of meat they fetched along. There was so much too much that the spoiled beef and mutton that was buried near the British camps became almost a public scandal. The French said it seemed to give pleasure to their allies to waste.
 The French have always utilized everything, and can make delicious dishes of cuts we despise. There is a quaint story Of a penniless noble man who fled to England at the time of the French Revolution, and said he did not find London prices SO high as he had been told. He bought eX- cellent beef from man who went through the street every day with his meat stuck on woden skewers. He did not realize he was dealing with the ''cats meat man, who sells for fe- line pets.
 So England luxuriously wasted. Ev- cry gentleman had at least a choice of two dishes for breakfast, and was | perhaps more of a gentleman if he sent one away untouched, which the | servants could proudly eonsign to the garbage can.

Workmen generally regard the right to strike against unfair or unsatisfac- tory conditions as something sacred and so it may be in times of peace. But in times of war, when the very safety of the nation depends upon speed and upon constant work, the shop hand employed in war industry has no more right to strike than has the soldier at the front when his com mander orders a charge.
