THI EATTLI rAR THURSDAY ARCH 6, ig fan Francisco New Tork office It’s Different Now fy HEN Fall and Denby and Roosevelt were passing over the people's oil reserves to their friends, an der was issued by the navy department which sent a ompany of marines to the Teapot Dome and other oil tracts with instructions to run off any trespassers at the point of their bayonets. Secretary Denby and his friends, Fall and Roosevelt, wished to turn over the oil lands unincumbered by any squatters, trespassers or claimants Vigorous action was the order of the day, There were trespassers. They had no legal right to be there. Why not run them off with “devil dogs”? Observe how different is the situation now that the trespassers are Sinclair and Doheny—moneyed trespass- ers. The senate resolution has cited that the leases are void, that the affair is tainted with bribery and corrup- tion and that persons on these public domains are tres- passers. But does our president issue an order to his acting sec- retary of the navy to send the marines and run the tres- passers off? Bless your heart, no! It kes an Atlee Pomerene and an injunction, and a court uring and per- haps a year’s delay and three appeals, and a hundred thousand in law fees and another hundred thousand in court expenses to even begin to recover the public’s alienated property. President says we can't afford to Increase the pay of postal employes now. But he and Andy Mellon said we could afford to decrease the taxes of the rich, Makes a difference what the money's for, whether we have it or not, Drunken Drivers ig would not be out of place for the newspapers to have a standing headline reading: “Automobile Accident Caused by Drunken Driver.” And it might be well to have two or three headlines like that for use on Mondays. There would be few serious automobile accidents if all drunken drivers should draw a year at hard labor, without pay, House G. 0, P. leaders joyful over the return of the progressives to the fold on the tax bill terms the progressives dictated. One way to cut some ice politically is to run away from home. Worse Things Than Rain OS ANGELES is rejoicing over a quarter-inch rainfall this week. For months the lack of rain has been a Serious problem to Southern California. Of course, Seattle would not look upon that amount of rainfall as any rain whatever, but everybody in Los Angeles is said to be celebrating, and the fruit growers are taking new heart. After all, there are a lot of troubles greater than a sufficient amount of rain. Now that the grand jury has indicted Forbes on charges of waste, graft, and conspiracy to defraud, be nator Reed, the investigator, will muster up enough courage to make a report on what his com learned about the veterans’ bureau. For Those With the “Blues” HOSE afflicted with the “blues” should get up at 6 o'clock any bright morning and walk over to the East Capitol Hill section. The picture is: Lake »Washington spreading out for miles, Mt. Baker wearing a snow cap to the north, Mt. Rainier in a robe of perpetual snow to the south and the Cascades stretching in between. And, over all of this, the sunrise. “I won't resign,” Attorney General Daugherty keeps repeating. a habit or a symptom? Is that An Interesting Question READER asks us to expiam why a fine lady or gentleman afoot or on a street car often “becomes a rough neck when driving an auto.” “Should one pedestrian yell at another who crossed his trail: ‘Hey, you dumbbell, keep on your own side,’ he would be put down as a very rude person,” the reader says, “Or should a man boarding a street car bellow at every person ahead of him, as a honker would do, he would very properly be thrown off the car.” It IS an interesting question. We don’t know, you? Do Our A pple Crop HE state of Washington, growers say, produces one- third of the apple crop of the United States. In the days to come, Washington’s apple crop will be as im- portant and as profitable as is the orange crop of California. The Port of Seattle has made special provision, on a large scale, for the handling of apples that are shipped to all parts of the world, and it is encouraging to see that this department of the port is becoming more active every year. A “Speak Kindly Week” EV. CLEVELAND KLEIHAUER of the University Christian church, preached a sermon on “Let the Words of My Mouth.” In these days of backbiting, quarreling and lambasting, would it not be well to set aside one week as a “Speak Kindly Week?” That might mean that many persons might have to close up altogether for seven days, but such a vacation onld be good for them, and would be enjoyed by their neighbors, LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN March 6, 1924, Dear Folks: I went to see “A Big Reward,” with Messrs, Kolb and Dill, And thru the show I sat and roared—in fact, I'm smiling still. Their antics held me in a spell, and occupied my mind; tho now and then I stopped to smell a pair that sat behind. . One fellow had a shot of booze, and one an onion breath—-between the two I couldn’t choose the one to put to death! “An opportunity,” said Dill, “is waiting every day. And no one has to wait until he's dead and laid away, The daily papers all contain a chance for you or me—T'll read one now and use my brain, and see what we can nec.” . + + He gave a dally sheet a glance; his statement didn’t fail—for Ivan Miller got a chance at twenty years in jail! But even so, his dope is right; we live, from day to day, with opportunities in sight to make or mar our way. In spite of all the daily grind that seems to be the same, each day there's something new to find on how to pluy the game, . . . Achance for doing fll or woll, to play or fail our part—for day by day the moments spell another running start!

It still remained coarse- textured and oily, marred b¥ pucebans and blemishes. In no other field is there so much misinformation as in the matter of skin beauty. Yet there is one simplé fact at the bottom of it all, that any physician will tell you. Below the surface layers of the skin, natural forces are fighting day and night to counteract the harsh conditions of daily life. Unaided, these forces fighta losing battle, and imperfections appear. The dustand germs are not carried off as fast as they accumulate; infection results. Yet merely bring back the nor- mal functioning of the skin and the blemishes vanish—the clear, un- marred texture is restored.
