SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 19, H-
 The Wild Vest of California isn't nearly so wild today The tam ing process was undertaken by a squad of Deputy II. S. Marshals, at the instance of the federal prohibi- ton forces.
 Armed with abatement papers, those deputy marshals descended upon half dozen northern Cali fornia towns, including Truckee, the center of the states winter sports, and padlocked many a bar, saloon, pool hall and other social cent6rs that have been dispensing red likker ever since the days of the gold rush, with scarcly an in interruption by the passage of the 18th amendment and the Volstead act.
 Among the towns attacked by the dry forces were Truckee, Lakep0rt, Upper Lake, Kelseyville, Eureka, Crescent City and MiddIetown.

SILVER FOXES FROM
 CANADA FOR ENGLAND

A recent survey of the silver fox farming industry in Great Britain reveals an interesting state of af- fairs eminently satisfactory to those who initiated 1t just before the war.
 Little did Sir Charles Dalton, the founder of Canada's most lucrative fur breeding establishment in Prince Edward Island, thing that England might rival the Dominion in the production of the highest grade silver black fox pelts. Yet that is what is happening today, for ever since the establishment of the first fox farm in RoSS-shide il 1920 steady progress has been maintained.
 Distributed from as far north as Sutherlandshire to Devon, Eng, in the south and from East Lothian in the east to Ayrshire in the west, there are today a round dozen of silver fox farms. Several more will be in operation soon with founda- ton stock taken from both Canada and British sources.

The First Rain
By Elsie Robinson

GRANGE. 1t is the fragrance Of the
blossoms thai fell in the spring,
the summer pollen, the gum and
withered leaves and ripened Der.
ries of the fall, all giving up their
essence under the falling rain.
The air Is flooded with a pun
gent freshness.
At first the rain comes like
small. brilliant beads which roll,
unbroken. from the hard, baked
crust, 'unbroken. like slow, bitter
tears which do not touch the soul.
And then 1t quickens, spreads
itself into soft, gray web which
wraps and clings, then opelts, in
strong. quick shafts that pierce
the crust, that penetrate down to
the secret heart of earth.
Standing there, in the falling
rain, your wilted senses drinking
in it's loveliness. something passes
out of you. A .dustinesS of the
spirit, bitterness OF closed chan
nels-
And something passes into you,
like rain. A cleansing and a quick
ening-
And you feel suddenly, how
much you and Earth are one. How
the same breath moves through
YOU, how the same storms pass
over you, how you both need rain.
The rain falls and falls. The
earth softens. The secret heart
of the earth softens and perfume
rises from it like sympathy, like
a wise tenderness.

A Finite Universe

with our universe. In his poem,

Shelley says:
Below lay. stretched the boundless
There, far as the remotest line

SECRETS OF

BY DR.. Louis z. Biscll-

TT is self-evident truth that we
i could not live without hope.
Hope is like healing ointment on
a wound. 1t soothes, quiets, neu"
tralizes the sting of disappointment
and failure.
Hope keeps us going, it projects
our imagination into the future,
1t promises us respite and con-
tentmeIit it rouses oUr downcast
spirits and makes us stick.
Were it not for hope few could
survive.
As an ever-ready anodyne. hope
is a blessed characteristic of hu-
man nature. And it Is Just here
that danger turks.
1t is SO easy to conjure up false
hopes. ....
At one time or another prob
ably everyone, without exception,
has built hope only to find it tum-
BILE to the ground like a house of
cards. Then what happened?
You were more miserable and
despairing than ever. You felt for.
lorn and forsaken. You came con.
vinced you could not trust your
own thinking. You may even have
said: my only hope is gone!"
OF course, you regained your
balance. Your mind somehow got
round the disappointment. You
turned your face to the sun, smiled
and went ahead.
But, Wasn't 1t Just a wee bit
harder to hope again? Did not
that shattered hope leave in its
wake something of disillusionment
of worldly-wise detachment, of
dampened ardor. perhaps even a
touch Of cynicism?
Hope all you can. but do not
build upon the shifting sands Of
possibility. Hope on probabilities!
Don't take chances!
Always figure out carefully, hon.
estly. and wit h out flinching,
whether you are justified in hop

Consider the thousands who
have hoped to become great
musicians when common sense
might have told them they lacked
the necessary ability.

Einstein thus found himself at
the outset arrayed against the
entrerchel forces Of tradition and
convention. Certain features of
the universe had to be reckoned
with; all these Einstein confronted
with characteristic boldnesS.
First, he had to consider the
state of matter in respect to its
velocity. Now the greatest known
velocity is that of light-1S6,660
miles per second. Within the ste.-
lar system the speed Of matter.
whether of molescules or of stars,
is small as compared with the We
locity of light. So Einstein as.
sumed that the stellar system is
approximately at rest.
In the second place, ignoring
local concentrations of matter,
represented by celestial bodies and
systems of bodies. Einstein as
sumed that the matter in the uni
verse is uniformly distributed
throughout. This is only another
way of saying that the density
of the world is a small but finite
constant. Finally. on the basis
Of the researches of Henri Poin-
care the greatest French mathe-
matician, Einstein assumed that
there are no internal pressIres in
matter. These constituted his
three fundamental assumptions.
A singular feature of Einstein's
universe besides it's flniteness,
is that it contains an enormous
quantity of matter, This amount
is far in excess of what we have
as yet discovered by astronomical
observation to exist in the uni.
