A PIECE OF FOLLY

n
With all due respect to the memory of the seven
avators who lost their lives the Inflated Dole
to Hawaii, it appears nothing short of ridiculous to
read that $4,000 worth of flowers board
ship yesterday, to be dropped in the ocean as the
vessel nears the imaginary spot where the avators
lost.
1t another instance of Americans carrying things
to extremes
What good $4,000 worth of flowers would be- eth
sign of respect to the dead, or beautiful trib-
ute to their memory, is beyond u.s. simple wreath

ity is always inspiring than lavish display
The act strikes bordering a criminal waste
of money that might much better have been turned
to the wives and families of those who lost.

THE UNFAMILIAR BIBLE

The other day, everybody knows, the Prince of
Wales made speech at the dedication of the in
ternational bridge the Niagara river The AS
ISOLATED Press report of his speech quoted him say
ing that ito seek and insure it is the first and
highest duty" of this and future generations.
The reporter misquoted the Prince. His Roy High
ness quoting the Bible. The reporter obviously
not on quoting terms with that book and conse-
quently failed to understand the Princes words
Edward of England, who both heard the
speech and knows his Bible points out abiding to
II from Chapter III of the second epstle of
Peter, in which the words "seek peace and
it," ....<
Says the keen listener, speaking of the reporter
and of Americans in general who didn't recognize the
allusion:
"The young man of today knows less about the Bible
than the young of any generation for 300 years.
"And he is missing lot by this ignorance. l speak
from the standpoint of literary knowledge, rather
than religious knowledge Literature is packed with
Scrptural words illusions and unmarked quotations;
and the reader who does not recognize them is losing
the flavor of the writing"

PURIFIED FILMS

There is, naturally, general commentator Of the
20 leading motion picture producers of southern Cali
fornia-who make most of the nations fims-for ban
ishing from their photopays profanity, ridcue OF
the clergy and sneers at the federal constitution
Not that the movies have been going out OF their
way make sport of the Constitution, or have made
habit of ridculing cergynen have INDUCED to
any very marked extent in profanity Yet offenses of
these sorts have slipped in, and it is doubtless we'll to
have definite standards of selfcensorshp in the
industry Vaudeville circuits have taken somewhat
similar action.
Much depends, however, on how these rules APP
piled. If they interpreted rgorousy and unin-
teligenty that no profane word is allowed in
picture when it belongs there by the rules of art
and human nature, and if portrature of minister
in the guse of sinner or otherwise Objectionable
character is permitted and if word of honest
criticism of the Constitution tolerated. the films
will be making themselves ridiculous, untrue to life
and essentially dishonest.
1t is thing to preserve proper moral tone and
another thing to be strict to choke the life out
of art.

THE BARN OWL

California humble barn owl is
one of the latest inhabitants to
win fame in the outside world.
Two cases of these beautifully
feathered, but noisy night birds
have just been sent to a South
Seas island to DESTROY the rats
which are now swarming it. The
barn owl is found throughout the
state and is about the size of a
crow, white or tawny colored, with
long beak and heart shaped
facial disc. The appetite of the
1ird is prodigious, but, fortunately,
it eats mice, rats and gophers, all
undesirable pests of the California
farmer. 1t is estimated that one
owl will capture as much or more
food than y cats in a night.

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
gily was searching around in the
woods near his hollow stump bun
galow, looking for an adventure,
lie saw Wumple Wogglejig, the lit
tie yellow wooden boy, frisking a
round among the bushes. AT first
the rabbit gentleman thought Wum-
pie was a bush himself. But when
the queer little Wogglejig char
took off his wooden head, tossed 1t
into the air, and caught it, coming
down, on the end of his tail, then
Mr.. Longears really knew who Ii
was.
"You are up to some of your

Uncle Wiggily.

"Look herc!'' cried Wumplc.
With that he gave himself a

stuck on the end of his tail, made
from IA wooden peg-his head rolled
off on some green moss
"Be careful!' warned Uncle
Wiggily.
"Pooh! You haven't seen any

GENTLEMElN,S PREFERENCES

Ever since Anita Loos pointed out effectively that
gentlemen prefer blondes" the old of rivalry be-
tween blondes and brunettes has been waged with
newed vigor Friends of each type forever coming
forward with new claims for their own favorite The
blondes rather lose the argument in two recent in
stances.
The first case, described at length the front page
of metropolitan daily newspaper, is based on an ad
in the NHelp Wanted" columns of the New York World
An advertising agency, wanting stenographer of real
worth specified brunette in it's published adj The
reporter who went TO ask "Why?" learned much from
the vice president of the concern.

serious and to take the ceremony in earnest but
the dumbest bride, who often to wonder what it's
all about, is the blonde"
All of which may be quite, quite true We don't
know But granting all the faults of blondes as set
forth by the advertising agency and the parson the
main fact at ssue-the social preferences of gentle
men-seems to remain unsettled and undiscussed.
