CANNOT BE IGNORED.

Although Ambassador Herrick paid no attention to the threatening warn ings that he received it is evident now that he should have, and. there are req. sons to believe that extra precautionJ ) vii De taken henceforth to safeguard the lives and property of American rep resentatives, ambassadors and consular agents in those centers where threats hae oeen made to them.
 Developments subsequent to the ex plosion Of an internal machine in the American embassy at Paris show that the attempt upon the ambassadors life was due to the misguided efforts Of certain anarchists who were undertak- ing to influence thereby the disposition of the cases of two Italians, also an archjsts. who have been convicted for taking the life of a paymaster in a Massachusetts shoe factory. Needless to say whatever they have done or threaten to do will have no effect upon the dispensing of justice in their cases. They must pay the penalty under the law which in the opinion of the court after ascertaining the facts is deserved.
 But with the bringing to light of other instances where the lives of Amer jeans in European cities have been threatened by the same or similarly minded individuals it means that the authorities must put forth extra efforts Ito thwart any attempts which they may take to carry out their threats and it would also appear that good and sufficient ground had been furnished for making a strenuous effort to clean out such a dangerous element in whatever city they may be located.
 When such a class undertakes by such methods to influence the adminis- tration of justice, and tries to maintain that murder can be committed by their kind without paying the penal ty it is certainly time to do something more than sit still. twirI the thumbs and wait for :he threats to be carried out Those responsible for the threats have clearly indicated that they consti- ute such a menace to society that there can be no policy of liberation maintained toward them if safety is in any r7ay to be assured to the individual Their activities cannot he ignored

READ YOUR CHARACTER
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 152l
Suspicious Handwriting

Look at the letter you have just written. Is the writing. rather small, and has it the appearance of having been crowded on to the page?
 If so, be warned. You have certain tendencies of character which may well be a handicap and cause of. un- happiness to you.
 But so far as character anaIyses have been able to discover there is Virtu- ally no character tendency which can- not be turned into either an asset or liability, according to the manner in which the individual exercises the will and intelligence with wnicn he is endowed. There are no perfect char acters. Some are weak or strong ill some ways. and some in others. Above your mental and physical equipment is your will, your soul. Men and women are good or evil, not according to their characters, but according to the way in which they use and control their characters, according to the ends they seek and the moral control they exert over themselves.
 If your handwriting is crowded, par ticularly toward the right side of the page, you are inclined to be overly suspicious. Train yourself against it.
 For the rest you are strongly in clined toward thrift (among other things the crowded writing bespeaks an unconscious desire to save paper) Thrift is virtue. but misernness is not. II your writing is crowded you have enough natural thrift Don't en- courage it. Make an effort to be gen erous occasionally, both in business and personal ways. Keep watch over yourself and make a conscious effort to avoid narrow minded views Make It point to be generous to others m your thoughts. And above all, deter mine not to worry over trifIes. Consci- ous effort along these lines should balance your characteristics just en- ought to make them decided assets.

The Philippines.

Tine Philippines, 1000 miles from lne Pacific coast of North America furnish at once the greatest stake and the most difficult territorial problem of the United States in the Pacific" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 This is no tiny island territory like some of those that fly the Stars and Stripes in mid-Pacife," continues the bulletin, but a country of nearly 115,- 900 square miles-a greater area than that of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland com bined, or, among tie islands, greater than the three large southern islands of Japan upon which the life of that nation cen- tered while it gre wto imperial stature
 This far-away territory of the United States is inhabited by 5000 900 people of many races and different religions, less than quarter the present popula- ton of the three most important Japanese islands. But the tropical Philippines, with their ample rainfall and luxuriant vegetation are capable, in spite of their mountainous character, of supporting a much larger population than at present
 Magellan, who sailed almost around the world and whose name has been given to the famous strait to the south of South America, discovered the Philip pines, sailing among them from across the Pacific in 1921. He was killed short ly afterward in a skir1nish with the na- tives. Magellan, though a Portuguese, was operating for Spain, but the Spanish were slow in asserting their sovereignty They captured the native city of Manila in 1870 and founded the Spanish city the following year.
 With only one slight break, Spain re naa.ined in ooufroI until Dewey defeated the Spanish feet in Manila bay in 1898,

PRODUCTS FROM
 THE DESERT REGIONS

The largest county in the United States is San Bernardino County, Calf, which contains more than 20.000 square miles. All of this county except a few hundred square miles is arid land, forming the greater part of the MohaYe Desert. which includes also ad- joining parts of Los Angeles, Kern, and Tnyo counties.
 Most persons who are unacquainted with the desert believe it to be barren waste incapable of supporting life and without value-a barrier that sepa- rates fertile lands on either side of 1t. But to those who have become ac- quainted with it the desert is one of the most interesting regions of our country. Animals and plants are found there in considerable variety. The soil is generally good, and where water is available for irrigation it has produced crops in abundance. Sev- eral thousand acres in the Mohave Desert region are already yielding good returns, and doubtless much more land can be cultivated. The most val uable products of the region, however. have been obtained from it's mineral deposits. The value of the mineral products shipped from this region dur ing the last 25 years is about $50, ,00o, = 900. In 1918 alone the value of the

Thus in his case there was a deliberate determination Q disregard the law possibly with the feeling that he could pay such fine as might be inflicted and still get a good sized return. Whatever attraction money was in the cases of both Judge Landfs and Ruth there is a decided difference whether the getting of 1t calls for the deliberate violation of a rule or law in order to obtain it.

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

On Tuesday morning father creat- ed quite stir in our house by tele- phoning mother that he was suddenly called to Washington, and he wished her to take a late afternoon train with him.
 But I haven't even proper hat" she protested when 1 urged her to go.
 Mother, let's ask Aunt Rachel if she has something she can lend you, 5 I said, running to the telephone before she had time to object. Aunt Rachel was most gracious, saying she would be delighted to let mother take one of her hats, and that she thought it much better than to try to buy one in haste told her I would go right over and get it, and she seemed very much touched by my thoughtful help fitness.
 You and Cousin Fannie" I said 'can go on with your mending press ing with free minds, because I'll be back in plenty of time to finish pack ing your trunk, mother. You know I'm some little packer.
 The two hats that Aunt Rachel show- ed me were really rayishing. She had seen them at Jeannette's and had been unable to choose between them, and as she said tlaughingly she had indulg- ed in the extravaganza of taking both fortunately for now mother could have one
 But which one?" I asked. Have you found out yet, aunty dear which one you like better?''
 No I haven't. We can settle the vexed question by letting your mother have her choice. And I wish it, Lucille to be a little going away present from me.
 How perfectly sweet of you!" said, packing the hats in their boxes I'll look like milliner's assistant
 Penny has gone in the car to dc errant for me, but I'll order taxi fol you, Lucile,' said Aunt Rachel. "Oh, thank you ever so much, that will help a lot, for 1 must get home quickly to pack mothers trunk. I know she'll be perfectly delihted with hel hat, which ever one it is" It was so convenient to have tax l that I took advantage of the. oppor 1 tunity to drive a little farther up il 1 the north side and call at Maisy Cook ] for a lamp shade that l am going t l get Cousin Fannie to copy. Maisy wa i home, and she and had a lot of ful 1 trying on Aunt Rachel's hats.

LANDS AND RUTH.

How unwilling some are to deal with the facts in the case is indicated by the manner in which they are claiming that Judge Landis ought to be the last nan to have anything to say about Babe Ruth playing few extra games of baseball in order to get the addition al dollars that will be obtained there by
 The position they take is that inas- much as Judge Landis has been willing to do outside the duties of a judge in nrder to get the $42.5OO year for act ns as commissioner of baseball he ought not to penalize Ruth for looking Tor some extra dollars.
 Nothing is ot course said by such people about the fact that Ruth made wonderful recovery from his injuries after the close of the worlds series. from several games of which he was kept out because of the claim that ne required a long rest or the use of lis arm might be seriously impaired. The transforming proposition with it's possible S25,o9o or so seemed to have sfected an ahnost overnight cure
 But the parallel drawn between the sase of Ruth and that of Judge Lan- lis Is anything but correct In the sase of the latter 1t is to be realized hat he violated no law.

THE TREATY wTTH COLOMBIA.

Wfeh the ratification by the senate of Colombia of the treaty negotiated by the representatives of that country and been ratified by the United States sen ate, there remains the duty of the United States to pay to the South American country the sum of $25,00O,- Uo0, such being the amount fixed as a reimbursement for the territory that was lost when the Panama republic was established.
 Long have been the efforts to settle this dispute and adjust the claims of Colombia. There were strenuous en- deavors to get this country to apologize for the part it played in connection with the canal and Panama. but that was out of the question. In the meantime because of the failure to reach an un- derstanding Colombia has continued to disp:ay resentment and from the atti- tude it has taken it has created more or less sympathy among other smaller republic. The position of the little fel- low is invariably espoused instead of the big one, so that in view of the CldlflS Lietues 1Ce<tIu1G Ol IA1C COOAiLCl assertions that Colombia was doing nothing less thar holding up this coun- try because it believed it could get the money. there was a feeling that the elimination of the matter was preferable gnd that this country could well afford to pay that country the amuont stipu- lated for the removal of any possible ill feeling. not only within it's border.
 but such as might be harbored by sym pathizers.
 It is perfectly apparent that this country hasn't money in such abund
 ance that it can afford to throw i away. There age plenty of ways 1T which it can be used without thinking 1 of wasting it, but when it comes tt maintaining and keeping the good rela 1 tionship between neighbors, especially where our conduct is bound to be usei as an example for others and agains l ourselves, and when we are seeking t
 expand our trade relations, it is quit proper that We should look upon sue

two principal mineral products (pot- ash and tungsten) obtained from the desert portion of San Bernardino County was about S5,00O, ,000.
 Throughout most of this desert re- zion places where water may be ob- tained are few and far between. In days gone by the desert prospector used burros or horses and wagons, and he was compelled to carry with him on his trips water for both man and beast If a watering place was not found as he expected, or if the well or spring was dry he and his animals might suffer great hardship or even perish. Today the prospector travels by auto mobile and distance is of much less importance. If he does not find water at one water hole, a trip of a few hours will usually bring him to another.
 Travel in the desert with an auto mobile, however. does not necessarily mean travel without danger. Many persons traverse the desert who are not familiar with the conditions to be en- countered. On the transcontinental automobile routes across the desert the traveller is safe; but it is much easier to get long distances from known wat ering places with an automobile than with a team. and a slight mishap at a remote point may prove to be serious A leaky radiator and a dry canteen or cracked spark plug may mean a tramp of many miles and suffering from thirst, or even worse.
 The need of mapping the desert roads and marking the watering places has long been appreciated. Parts oi the Mohave Desert region have been mapped by the United States Geolog ical Survey, Department of the Inte- rior. and signposts have been erected by the counties, automobile assoeis tions, and other agencies. but definite and precise information in regard to watering places has not been availablc for most of the region.

Owls On Broadway

MT. Editor: What is man that he looks with complacency on the melancholy spec tacle of the three owls in a cage on low CT Broadway?
 Throughout the summer, cholked by dust, languishing from the heat blinded by merciless sun and never-clouded arc light, poked from side to side by the pencils of school children, by newspa pers. by cigarettes, these three little creatures, to whom God gave wings, have crawled and cringed and fiuttered between their homeless bars in their helpless quest of shelter.
 Now two only remain, with winter before them, and other friend appar- entIy than death.
