GAN DIEGO. Cal, Feb. 2l.-The
~ gas war continues. with Stand
ard Oil making a slash in response
to that of the General Petroleum
Coz. loration. Though the amount
of the cut was not stated, it is be-
lieyed that it will bring the whole
sale price of gasoline down to 10
cents.
Small independent dealers of this
section appear doomed if the
struggle lasts much longer. They
already have lost $4,000 according
to one authority.
If sufficiently well organized to
maintain an organized front, the in
dependents could save themselves by
following the big companies down
in a uniform way. Instead of that
they are doing quite a bit of slash
ing on their own account.
The variation Of prices all along
the line indicates nothing so clearly
as complete decentralization. 1t is
the old-tirne, free-for- all-cut- throat
competition returned for moment,
and it shows now far we have
moved away, arms such a throat
business.
Though the public is getting it
much cheaper, it is not particularly
happy, for it realizes and breads the
effect of the number of failures in
prospect.

A New Enforcement Weapon

The Jones bill just approved by the senate permits
a federal judge to sentence you to five years in jail
and assess fine of $4,000 if you sell your neghbor
glass of home brew
Actually, however the measure is not aimed at
such trivial violations 1t increases penalties at the
request of enforcement officers vino assert their eff
forts have been hampered because they have been
unable to punish big violations severely enough under
existing law An amendment in fact instructs judges
to discriminate between casual and slight" vioators
and habitual offenders. who attempt to CONNER
cialize violations of the law
How this law-which it is conceded the house also
win approve-will work out in practice experience
will tell Probably it will be abused by some OF the
anatical judges who are creatures of the reform or
CARNATIONS. Also. it may add to the reluctance OF
res to bring in convictions, and defeat its pur~
poses History teaches that the imposition OF eX-
ceSsiye penalties never has deferred crime.
There is this to be said in the laws favor-f en-
forcemen continues to be tragic failure after con-
gress provides legislation which the dys specify and

quate the alternative inevitably viii be confession
of failure and willingness to consider a change

many OF the evils Of volsteadism and to consider
change if any one can find better way to promote

Know Own Minds

TIME Jones bill was passed by a
l. senate that already had made
up its mind, that stood committed
and that was beyond reach of elo-
quence.
Most any shrewd person could
have guessed the vote with a fair
degree of accuracy before the de-
bate began.
Opinions with regard to such a
permanent issue as prohibition are
not to be changed over night, espe-
cially on the part of politicians who
must answer to their constituents.
It took about seventy years to
write the eighteenth amendment
into the Constitution and the Vol
stead act into the law. 1t is going
to take long time to write them
out, or modify them.
In dealing with such big stero-
type as prohibition represents we
must look to something more effec-
tive than brilliant speeches. Public
opinion is not the whimsical, capri
cious thing we sometimes imagine
with regard to major issues, it is
rather slow to form and just as slow
to alter.

An Uncompleted Task

Former Senator Thomas Sterling OF Colorado ap-
narentlv examined mountain Of documents IN the
interior department in his capacity as special nVes
gator of the Salt Greek oil leases for the senate pub
lie lands committee.
Having done so, he turned in report which the
chairman of the committee, Senator Nye and others
regard as nconclusive and incomplete Sterling says
in effect that there may have been fraud in OBTAIN
ing leases from the government but that he has been
unable to discover sufficient evidence to prove 1t.
The question of whether the Midwest Refining
COMPANY a subsidiary of Standard Oil OF Indiana,
exercises monopoly in the field in violation OF led
eral statute is ignored because the department. OF
Justice is investigating this phase.
Thus as matters stand the committee does not
know to it's own satisfaction whether the charges
made in connection with the Salt Greek field are
true or untrue. Operators in this immensely valu-
able piece Of public domain either guilty of GRIM
inal practices they have been malgned grossly.
Hundreds Of millions of dollars worth of Oil have
been taken from public lands in violation of the law
or in proper manner.
Senator Nye intends to ask the senate to continue
the investigation of his committee The truth should
be had if it is possible to get at it.

Just as Good

MOREOVER, there was Yon1 to
IV1 think Of Genie-like it was his
custom to sit on a mountain and
rest his feet upon some lower hill
across the valley.
At Kahn's place they would have
been compelled to make him bass
barytone perched precariously on
stills. And the elephants, and the
mighty armies of King Helgas wind
ing up the mountain road toward
Kadia would all of them been mini
fed.
Still I did hope to hear the music
for the moment when the bugles
blew and the elephants all trun-
peted because the way was steep.
1t was then that Candles voice
rose high as he cried out, ut is no
use. We have no chance. Let's go
and fight them In the pass" And
that time, even though the others
ran away, he did turn back the host
Of Helgas.
Yes, I still think my Candle was
quite a fellow and probably he is
better of up in the mountains with
an arrow through his heart than
strutting around before the box
holders and pickering out an aria
with the first flute making place.
Here's to you, Bunny, and here's
to me. To hell with the flddles.

Labor in Prison
temperance,

With the certainty that Congress viii limit the
sale of prison made goods in the future respon-
sibity rests upon the legislature to provide some
means of employment for the increasing number OF
prisoners in the penitentares, reformatories and
penal farm.
Idleness in prison is more than punishment. It
is distinct invitation to uprisngs end insanity
without labor, discipline is impossible.
Certainly 1t is not too much TO suggest that the
automobile plates used in this state be made BY prison
labor Many other states have adopted this method
OF obtaining the necessary license tags and road
markers The signs used by the state highway COM
mission cost considerable money and could be made
cheaply IN prisons.
The welfare of prisoners as wen as economy de-
nands action along these lines.

Long Live the Prince!

When Hoover made his goodwill tour of Latin
America, some of British cousins turned up their
at the idea of Presidentelect trying to stimu
late foreign trade We wonder what they will do now
that the prince OF Wales is making public speeches
for foreign trade, and crticising Brtons for their
outworn methods.
OF course the prince always has been heralded
abroad as "Britains best salesman But at home this
was interpreted as figure OF speech. Now the
prince reveals that he, less than Hoover, is con-
cerned vitality with business expansion in the most
practical terms.
Even a prince, however, sometimes fails to get
his ideas accepted A fortnight ago. the British heir
was tramping through the starving mining villages
of northern England and openly condemning condl-
tons Indeed he was talking like the so-called labor
agitators Obviously the tory government facing an
election campaign could not let that go on So the
princes scheduled trip to the worse mining pits OF
Wales. speedily was called Off for some unaccount-
able reason.
ANYWAY we are all for prince who has a mind
If his own and who rather would think and speak
on labor and trade conditions than be only an orna-
ment of monarchy

Britain'S Naval Stand

CIR ESME HOWARD, the British
- ambassador at Washington, is
rebuked for commenting favorably
on the prospect of another naval
limitation conference.
The British foreign office, though
using the polite language of diplo-
macy says in effect, mo such thing, !"
British newspapers are not so sure.
They are inclined to believe that Sir
ESme Howard came nearer express
ing public opinion than the foreign
office.
That is at least consoling. One
does not like to believe that the
bunptious reprimand of the foreign
office represents true British inten-
tions. If it does, we are surely in
for a naval race, if not war
1t would be a disaster, indeed, if
we were to draw such a useless quar-
rel out of the late war, if the anti
Prussian drive were to result. in a
break between the two great Eng
ish speaking peoples when it was
supposed to be preliminary step
toward the extension of peace not
only between them, but throughout
the world.
Let us hope that we are only deal
ing with one more piece of polit-
ieal bunk, and that the tories merely
are talking to save their party In
the forthcoming election.

Editor Times-It is most heart
ening to find such an editorial as
yours of Feb. on the subject of
the passing of the cruiser bill. 1t
is true that the press is giving evi-
dence more and more Of realizing
the necessity for peace education,
but there still is far too much hate
hysteria abroad, which at any time
easily could become a potent instru-
ment for wholesale destruction.
The fact is not grasped generally
that peace does not happen. 1t
must be made and the only time
to work for peace is in time Of
peace. It is too late once war has
broken out.
For the first time in the history
of the world, civilization has the
power to destroy itself completely.
There would be less indifference on
the part of the public and less hos
tility In the ranks of the friends Of
war, If it were understood clearly
that no future war viii be fought

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :
Good Skin Depends ON Bodily Hygiene

In age, when the circulation is

wall of the blood vessels, the skin
loses a great deal of its elasticity
and it's youthful appearance;
wrinkles form and the color of the
skin may change.
Control of most of the disturbed
conditions of the skin is dependent
on good hygiene. There must be a
good circulation Of blood to the skin

1t is not possible to treat sue
cessfully every disease of the skin

method of medical administration
known to science.
The X-ray is used for producing
definite changes in the growth OF
the cells. Similar effects are secured

piled to destroy cancers of the skin,

heretofore. The civilian population
win be the heaviest sufferers. Their
wholesale and speedy humiliation
can be accomplished with ease, be-
cause of the new discoveries OF

Peace is no longer a matter to
be left to the bunging Of helpless

We should take to heart the fol-
lowing statement of General John

The development of these hyphenated sciences was
inevitable for there IS only one universe Mankind
btrariy divided the universe up into fields Of science
And so today, we are finding out that the funda-
mental laws of physics and chemistry underne the
phenomena Of astronomy geology and biology.
A discovery made in the stars help us to under
stand what is going in the physical laboratory and
experiment in the physical laboratory helps us
to understand what is going on in the sun.
One of the most interesting fields of recent re-
search has been that concerning the origin and in
terror structure of the earth.
The earth is at least billion years DID, according
most geological evidence Perhaps it would be bet
to say that the earth is two billion years old
Scientists, therefore are embarking upon an in
terestng piece of research when they undertake to
reconstruct series of events which occurred two bill

Hit-and Run Drivers

TIME situation grows harder for
l. hit and run drivers. 1t should.
They not only constitute a menace
in themselves, but set a bad ex-
ample.
There often is some excuse for
the hit, but never for the run. The
driver is master of him or herself,
when it comes to that. =
Neither unavoidable circum-
stances or carelessneSs can be Of
fered by way of apology in leaving
manned or killed human beings.
The penalty for such conduct should
be severe.
A case just has occurred in San
Diego, where a. woman, returning
from Tia Juana with several COM
panions had a collision and went
right on.
She was given twenty days in JAIL
put on probation for one year and
forbidden to go to Tia Juana. Not a
particularly harsh punishment, but
harsh enough to produce good eff
feet if generally applied.

Pertinent Questions

The solution of problems most important to us all
may lie in piece Of work being quietly done by the
federal trade commission.
Has the state regulation of public utilities broken
down?
If so, can it be made effective again?
Is federal regulation advisable?
Are existing rates for heating and lighting, by gas
and electricity too high?
Is the financial structure of utility companies
sound?
There has been no information available from
which these questions could be answered. 1t has be-
come more and more necessary to answer them as
utility companies grew and extended their activities
until they touch nearly all other phases of public and
private life.
When the commission finishes its work, a long step
will have been taken toward meeting perplexlng
situation.

The Fall Of OkatorY

CENATORS REED AND BRUCE
~ talked eloquently against the
Jones bill, but when the vote was
counted found themselves supported
by only five out of seventy.
If mere oratory meant what some
people think it does, the result
would have been different.
The power of the spoken word is
not what it was, or more accurately
perhaps, what we imagine it was.
People think for themselves these
days. They are hypnotized by elo-
quence only when they agree with it.
The notion that oratory wins cleo
tons, alters jury verdicts and inf1u-
ences courts is beautiful, but dumb,
1t would be tragic if clever word
nongerers could twist people around
their fingers in a figurative sense,
yet some of us labor under that
very illuSionment.

A S Edward Doheny, multimillion-

assassination of his only son, he
doubtless realizes the futility OF a
lifetime pursuit of gold and he would
tear up a million questionable leases

son back to life.
There are few things in life
more valuable than money, but we
have to go to the cemetery to realize
it.
Gene Tunney knocked down a
French photographer who wanted to
take his picture, but a little while

Revenge Gone Wrong

ter purposing to wave it in his face
on the great night when the vio-
Inns began to sob and Bunny, clad
in purple tights, bowed to the dia-
nond horseshoe.
And would be sitting somewhere
in back because Mack's tailcoat does
not fit me so very well. After Tay-
Tor, and the conductor, and all the
singers had taken the requisite
number of bows ] felt that there
might be a shout for "Broum" In
fact, knew it, for 1 planned to
start it. Now I shall never know
just what one does when roses are
thrust upon him suddenly.
Nor will I get the cigaret case. In
the beginning it was to have been
gold. When Deems told me that he
planned to make an opera Of Gan
die I was delighted and when he
added, Nov as to the financial part
of it" I stopped him with lordly
gesture.
"This is sheer luck for me" I said,
so don't let's mention money. I
will be perfectly satisfied If I get
gold cigaret case out of this"
"a gold cigaret case" answered
Deems, incredulous, Il guess you
have some misconception as to tine
rewards of music"
This opera was in no sense
planned as a collaboration. Deems
Taylor simply took the book to use
as much or little as he liked and in
his own words. In hope Of unearned
prestige sold Bunny down the river
and perhaps my present Illustration
is a punishment quite justified.
Some little time after the first
conference Deems read me his see
mario Of the operate version. Still
in conciliatory mood, I said, IT think
that's very good" though at every
change, however minor, the wounds
of Bunny bled afresh while I had
slight twinges in the shoulder.
Nobody can remember who first
called him Bunny. That name he
seems almost to have brought with
him into the world.
Now nobody in the Metropolitan
would ever look like that and Aga
than was 'the fairest and most Vir-
tuous lady in all the world" which
is asking too much Of any soprano.
