R SAME OLD WORLD. . | When you tire of a humdrum existence you might turn to the pages of some of our sensational daily papers and read the stories of high life among people of millions. The Bible contains some rather naughty stories of rottenness in ancient times, ‘but it is difficult to find anything to compare with the moral filth of today. There is a trite saying that “civilization is only skin deep,” but even that small veneer seems to have utterly vanished from the _carcasses of some of these butterfly vamps and ogres of ‘gold. r, R, In the business district, very little evidence has been given that there is such a thing asa cleanup campaign going on. Very few alleys have been touched and vacant lots show very little evidence of rakes or nhovels The residence section, which is under the supervision of the Women’s Community club, is showing much activity. It is about time the Civic and Commerce association was showing some organized activity or the women’s club will make it it’s effort look like a sorry excuse.

Did it occur to you that there was something in that smile which reduced her homeli- ness to insignificance? It was character. God seldom gives all to some and nothing to others.

FLYER WILL TRY ' - T0 CROSS PACIFIC (By International News Service) San Francisco, May 3.—Fired by an ambition to be the first man to fiy across the Pacific odean, Lieuten- ant Charles Edward K. Smith, world ‘war hero, is making preparations here to attempt the flight. Lieuten- ant Smith’s home is in Oakland. Entered in the England to Aus- tralia race, Lieutenant Smith was forced out of that event because of jnability to obtain engine parts for the machine he intended flying. Hearing of the offer of Thomas Ince of a $50,000 prize for the first flight across the Pacific Smith im- mediately left England for his Oak- land home. With the backing of the London Aero club, together with re- . quest, of a number of well known avi- ators, including Captain Donaldson and Sir Arthur Brown; who flew across the Atlantic, for an extension flight. .

At the conclusion of the two hard years of infantry service he went into the air forces and then to France. Fighting in the Ypres section, he attacked two Boche planes, brought one down and in turn was attacked by six. Outnumbered, he fought on, only to be shot down with 181 bul- lets in his ship and a number in his limbs. He was awarded the mili- tary cross, which is the equivalent of the American D. S.

Guests of the fashionable Lincoln Hotel here, recently destroyed by fire are having returned to the intact valuable that miracuiously escapesd damage. For instance—a fine piece of hand painted china—a cup—dropped six stories inta an alleyway when the blaze was at its height and was found unharmed and returned to its owner. Workmen unearthed a delicate Swiss watch, buried under six feet of cinders and debris, with the case un- damaged and when wound up it tick- ed merrily on. The wateh had fall- en from the fourth floor of the hotel- A woman’s purse, charred and bad- 1y burned, was opened and there, in- tact and undamaged, were two ‘$1 bills neatly “wadded” and perfectly good. One woman—Miss Jane Gaylor— hada steamer trunk in her room con- taining several hundred dollars’ worth™ of silverware and valuable deeds to .property. The trunk fell apart, it was’ so badly burned, and yet- the ‘silverware was undamaged and the deeds, although, slightly burned on the edges, contained the full description of the properties. So, if your home has been burned, it might pay to sgarch the ruins. Then again, if you haven’t any.hing else .to do, it might.pay.to search the ‘riring of some other fellow’s house:« .
