For this cause I how my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he would grant that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, mav bo able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Eph. 3 :H, 17-19. GOOD TASTE At a recent convention of merchants it was the concensus of opinion that the tastes of the American people have im proved greatly in the last few years and that they are con stantly growing more discriminating. Several who spoke to the group gave most of the credit i'or this to the newspapers, magazines, churches, schools, movies, radio and their educa tional influence upon the general public. . Better taste on, the part of the buying public imposes on manufacturers and merchants and their organizations the duty of keeping pace both with their products and their own powers of discrimination between what is in good and what is in bad taste. The retailer must educate his sales force, his advertising department and himself... In this connection it is interesting to consider the change that has been gradually transforming the relationships be tween individuals and the nations, and it is safe to say that the same influences which have brought about the advance ment in "taste" have been at work in moulding character so that we are becoming more and more interested in the welfare of others. ;-:( AUTOMOBILES AND PROSPERITY Figures from the world census of automobiles recently - completed prove that it is actually possible for every mail, woman and child in the United States to be provided with space, in an automobile at the same time without crowding. While the total number of motor vehicles in the world at I the beginning of tho year was 35,127,398, or about one for every 55 persons, the report reveals that 2(i,(r3,'150 of these were registered in the United States, and that is one machine to every 4.5 prsons; the proportion for other countries being one machine to every 216 inhabitants. These statistics explain the nation's traffic problems, and indicate the vast sums that must be expended each year upon highway construction and maintenance. The nutomo- ' bile industry has helped to Inula up practically every conimer- cial enterprise in our country, and has brought pleasure and profit to thousands upon thousands of our citizens. MRS. .10IIANNA GANGLOFK J To write words of appreciation that will adequately express j the leelingsof the lanuly and friends of the one who has so recently passed on is more than a task for one who has so recently come into the community. In reading the history of her useful life and in listening to the words of praise being spoken by those who knew her we wish to join in a tribute to this one who braved the diffi culties that beset the. early seUleiynnd who enJered into all the experiences of life with a-desire to be helpful; continu ing interested and active lo the end. The gift to the city of the park, which bears her name, was an expression of her thoughtrulness for everyone who makes this city their home or passes through on the highway. It is a benediction lo all when one lives a useful life and through the experiences conies lo the closing days with cour age and hope for the future. What then is courtesy? It is doing the many little things towards making one's pathway just a little easier; it is having A due regard for the other person's rights and feelings. It is lending a helping hand when needed, and refraining from , saying or doing anything that would tend to make one un f h,t)py. There can lie no doubt us to the value of true courtesy as ; i business asset. Many men have climbed high in the busi ness world because of their courtesy and respeet to their .ssocintes and customers.

Ills stand Is characteristic of the man. His love of principle Is evidenced by the fact that when he was gover ! nor of Kansas ho ordered the arrest ,of his bosom friend, William Allen White, editor-author of Emporia, j Whito displayed a card in the win dow of hlB office expressing sympathy for strikers. Allen termed It a "con spiracy to Intimidate workers." I Somo months later, however, he dis missed tho suit, over White's protest. l AVOIHTK STOltV Ho la 52 years old, bald, of medium height and always Immaculately groomed. A newspaper publisher, ho still Is at heart a newspaperman. 1 lis delights In telling the story of how, as a reporter on the old Sallna Republican, he and a collPague sec rcled themselves In an attic over a hall where a political meeting was to be held. He made a noise which led to his discovery, told his captors that ho was alone and left his colleague to get tho story. Ho built tho first skyscraper In Kansas a 10-story structure in Wi chita to house his newspaper. ' Ho makes his home while In Wash ington at the capital's most fashion able hotel with his wlfo and daughter. Ho plays golf frequently and seri ously. One of his favorite companions on Hie links Is Senator Arthur Capper. Kansas' other senator. They call each other by their first names, and one would rather beat tho other at golf than get a favorlto bill through con gress. ' BANK I'AII.H TO OI'KN ! SAN DIEGO, Cal.
