A CALIFORNIA SAGA .
.
Not all the story of California's sweeping advance: from
its early day pastoral era of rangelands, wheatfields and orchard groves to a hustling industrial giant can be told in the
matter of fact language of numbers.
But in the most comprehensive survey ever made by
California's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has just been
published, there emerges a record of progress which seems to
show that the Golden West as a fabulous land of opportunity
and lusty growth was by no means just a sentimental legend.
But the most striking fact revealed in California's history since
1890 has been its transformation into a state of major industrial importance.
In the last 50 years, California's total labor force increased 442 per cent compared to 127 per cent for the whole country. The growth of new industries and manufacturing, particularly since 1920, went hand in hand with the expansion -of
California's financial resources, the development of a sound
‘statewide branch banking system second to none, circulating
funds continuously through the state to meet the requirements of business and industry in any locality. What this contributed to the state's financial stability can be gauged from
the fact that during the hectic period between 1920 and 1933
we had among the fewest bank failures of any state in the
Union.
This has not been the only point on which California has
surpassed her sister states. During 1939 this state led all others in rate of increase of wage earners employed in manufacturing industries. renresenting a gain of 132 per cent! over
1914 as compared with an increase of less than 25 per cent in
such employment for the nation as a whole in 1939,
Nor is the story yet done. Under the spur of all out defense, California’s tomorrow is certain to record even greater
chapters in her growth.—Contributed.

The bureau of standards has a thermometer which will
give accurate readings as low as 259 degrees C below zero, or
within four degrees of absolute zero. With this instrument we
could come within four degrees of measuring our affection
for Hitler.

These are the days when the sun and its heat can become an annoying combination. On certain days you will feel the heat more than
on other days. You may find yourself saying in desperation that you
would give anything to be cool and comfortable. You may even express wild desires as to what you would like to do. A big wild wish
might be: “I wish I was under Niagara Falls.” * There is no need
however to go to such far lengths to keep cool and comfortable during the summer. Use falling water to tone down the annoying high
level of heat within your house. Do as thousands of families have
done in interior California. Install an Electric Evaporative Cooler.
* You will find the Electric Evaporative Cooler is a practical, lowcost solution to cooling comfort for yourself and your family.

. . wonder as the planets stare.
‘Aghast at earth and earth's disorders,
If they just thank their lucky stars
That Nazis can’t invade their borders
And as they march along through space,
Does sphere call out to neighboring. sphere,
“Steer clear of that mad. mud _ball, friend,
We don't want its ‘New Order’ here.”’
I wonder if Alexander the Great, was gazing up at the;
starlit splendor of the Macedonian sky when he_ sighed for
other worlds to conquer. One may imagine that he was. There
thev were. million upon million-of shining orbs, moving silently and maiestically above him, each one pursuing the orderly course ordained since time began and each one sublimely
indifferent to his little conquests and his. selfish vainglorious
ambitions.
Did Alexander feel utterly purile and insignificant as he
considered the stars in their course, or did he glare at them .
with red, apish eyes and curse aloud at his inability to subdue!
even the very least among them? Did he realize the futility of.
his victories and the instability of the structure he had reared
upon a foundation of destruction. Did he yearn at length for . .
the order, peace and harmony displayed in the heavens above,
him? Did he catch a prophetic vision of his own proud empire,
tottering to its fall and know that ignominious death was to
be his recompense for a life of greed and strife?
There are many lessons’ which earth's war lords might,
learn while contemplating the orbs of night. Orion’s sword,
for instance, is for decorative purposes only. Ursa Major and
Ursa Minor never invade each other’s territory. The North
Star keeps its ancient course, even the densely populated;
Milky Way is never disrupted by the wreck of war. Symbols
of peace and order are: the stars, steadfast through unnumbered ages, they constitute a reproach to the turmoil and instability of our life on earth. :
Perhaps we had best defer our study of the stars above .
to some more favorable time and devote all of our eriergies to!
the task of keeping the blessed stars shining in our own Am-.
erican flag.
I wonder if Senator Hiram Johnson ever heard it said.
that. ““comparisons are odious.’’ Probably not, for when in a'
recent speech he compared our President to Hitler and Mussolini, he certainly uttered odiousness—plus. Perhaps a serious study of Plutarch’s Lives and other-books on the subject
of Comparison is needed.
Uncle Silas says: “It’s just too bad that great scientists
and inventors can’t devise some method of getting across to
the moon. That cold, dead planet would be a mighty good retreat for ardent isolationists.”’ —A. Merriam Conner.
