Dr. F. E.. Matthes of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, declared here after return ing from a recent three months ex- ploration trip through the widest portions of the high Sierras.
 After the river made the first cut. a great glacer came along and gave the valley it's finishing touches. The Merced Dr. Matthes claims, made a great V-shaped gorge, and the glacier added a few curves and converted Yosemite into the U-Shape it has at present. f

 Accepted theories as to the forma- ton of the Sierra Nevada mountains were s trengthened by Dr. Matthes observations on his trip. The theory is, he said, that a series of terrific up 1 thrusts tilted the immense block ol

 What aroused the special hate and attention of the Bolsheviki was her maiden name of Romanov. She stated that her mother was an American, Llama Davenport, and that she was born in Taskent. where her father was governor general. Because of the name Romanov she was suspected of being related to the family of the late Car.
 She gave her last possessions of jewels as bribe to a released woman prisoner and got word to the Dutch Consul who. after various demands, secured her release For her safety, she was removed to the now unoc- cupied American Consulate and food is being provided by the Near East Relief f.--,e -%

PRESS COMMENT


as his share toward the movement to-
ward return to normally"
In this particular case the phrase
might very appropriately apply. But
it was not the idea of this article to
crtcise that particular publisher so
much as the numerous other publish
ers who have the same idea of helping
the return to normally" in cases
which are not comparable to this case.
Publishers whose subscription rates
have been $500 a year, and who now
return to a Sl.50 rate, in their mind
have the idea that they are helping
the country to return to normally by
returning to a rate which never was
justified, was not normal in its rela-
ton to prices of other commodities
and service, and in fact was subnor-
NAL A $500 rate for the average
country newspaper should be the nor
NAL rate 1t is reasonable, consider
ing both the subscriber and the pub
Usher Some newspapers, however by
their SIZE and cost of preparation,
would be fully justified by higher
rate; and on the other hand, some
newspapers, as a medium OF express
ing what a irst-class newspaper should
express, are practically worthless and
on their merits would make poor ar
gument
1t is not the 30 cents a year that
the newspaper subscriber saves on his
subscription at lower rate that is
going to make this country prosperous,

Good Will in Season

The season of Good VIII is being
ushered in with earnest public efforts
to remove the causes Of i'll will. The
best political thing actually done this
year is the agreement between the
United States and Japan which insures
the pacific nature of the Pacific and
which lifts an unjust burden off China.
The beauty OF doing the right thing Is
that its benefits expand, like rings in
the water, and bless secondary and
tertiary parties as well as the princi-
pals The reduction OF zap by Ameri-
can diplomacy from an international
pin prick to an international meeting
place, is OF the very essence OF COM
mon sense actuated by Good Will
1t is one of the old truths which men
resent because it is so simple, that ii
the intention be good, the method will
eventually come to hand. Heretofore
in international affairs, all the skill
has been on the side of evil intention,
and all the clumsiness on the side Of
good intention. The right thing 20 do
was seriously compromised because OF
the inCompetency OF the would-be
doors of it 1t was like the COMPARE
son that used to be made between the
Democratic and Republican parties;
the Democratic party was rated as be
ing the more honest in its intentions,
but destitute of men big enough to
translate the intention into realty;
while the Republican party, though sci
fish and class bound, at least had men
big enough to swing things in a master
full way. Well, good intention, Good
Will, has apparently persisted long
enough in the world to have gained
efficient agents The diplomacy of
good intention exhibited by the United
States in the Peace Conference, backed
up as it has been by firm aud states
manly grasp of the problems involved
flor which Mr.. Hughes is to be thank
ed is a splendid exemplifcation OF
practical Good VIII.

follows Where the intention is right,
the right method will come. Where

Santa Claus Doubted

Wilbur Glenn Noliva, who should
rank high in history as one of the
prime quacks of his day, has added to
his list of absurd preachments by
abolishing Santa Claus. He has, by var

and has succeeded One of his latest
was a declaration that the earth was
fiat and that anyone who believed
otherwise was a Ounce, or words to
that effect By his utterances he IS
known, and Zion City where he hangs
his hat. has long since become the
laughing stock of the country

Santa Claus, is the limit. No Santa

it isn't Santa Clans? Voliva says he

of it? How many believe in Voliva'
But VoGva's declaration will not

heaven. As long as childhoods faith
in the beautiful and good remains, as
long as men and women become chill

will Santa Claus continue to exist, the

AMERICAN MOVING PICTURES
ma Burlington News says.

The Burlington News says:
"Oficers of one of the largest and
most celebrated feature-flm companies
state that the American. photoplay has
captured South America. Though Am
erican films cost more in South Amer
lea than those produced in Europe,
they are preferred and are cultivating
friendly political and trade relations.
The South Americans like American
society dramas and comedies, and they
display keen interest in pictures dipict-
ing life and manufacture in this coun-
try.
Revival of the motion-picture art
industry in Europe will not obstruct
the progress of American expansion.
Clean and artistic plays produced in
this country will be popular wherever
they are exhibited"
Clean and artistic American produc-
tions no doubt will surpass those of
foreign make in popularity. But the
American is having a hard time to
combine the clean and the artistic in
the same film. A great many of the
modern photoplays are open to criti-
cism on the ground of cleanliness. Pro
ducers do not seem to realize that the
silent drama is all suggestion, or nearly
so. While the old fashioned and cheap
melodrama used to be severely criti-
cised because it was feared that it had
a bad influence on the morals Of the
nations youth, it is not to be com
pared with some of the wonderful
artistic successes of the picture produc-
tons of today
Many of the so-called society photo
dramas to begin with are flimsy and
questionable in plot and the costumes
and fadeout scenes are designed to
play upon the emotions, and not the
best emotions either There is great
danger in the suggestion furnished by a
vast majority of our modern silent
plays, far more so than as if the ac-
tors were living on the spoken stage
The range allowed the imagination of
the young and growing youth is far
too great. The blood and thunder
melodrama was very rough, and some
times very bloody to be sure. But il
you will recall, you who used to pa
tronize the gallery in the old days OF
the ten, twenty th;rt' villainy and
crime were always duly punished and
the hero and heroine were awarded
palms for their good behavior by the
authors pen, without fail There are
many worse things taught than the
lessons of chinatown Charlie and
"Bedfords Hope
Countless films of an educational and
clearly entertaining value are pro-
duced by some respectable American
picture producer5 These films de
serve to be shown in America and
every other country on the globe. The
other kind, and they are altogether too
plentiful, are simply trash and should
not be allowed by the censor's hands.
