PARENTS AND YOUTH Little is accomplished by the fierce scold- ings for the transgressions of their off- spring which it is the fashion, just now, to give the parent class, Parental discipline may be more lax than in some earlier gen- erations, but, if modern youth can transfer responsibility for their faults and failings to their parents, why cannot the modern par- ents plead that they are just as their own parents taught them to be, or let them be, and so start a buck-passing sequence ex- tending back to the upbringing of Adam and Eve? Possibly the loudly proclaimed grievances are to a considerable extent imaginary, Every now and then there sounds above the chorus of 'something must be done about it" a voice or two that suggests the possi- bility that youth and the ways of youth are not particularly new phenomena--that mod- ern youth is essentially the same as were the complaining elders in their own youth, Parenthood, in the opinion of many, is more or less of a thankless job anyway and the current attacks on the competency of the modern parent won't make the position any more attractive, When a boy or girl goes wrong in this most remarkable of ages the erring child is joined by society in blaming the parent, But when a youth ascends to the heights of glory and achievement he is acclaimed hy the populace as a "self-made man" who has won in spite of his parents, And if he pro- tests that he owes all to his parents, a sec. tion of the press labels it "sob-stuff," EDITORIAL NOTES The only reliable thing about some people is their unreliability, The reason more people don't stay at home is because they don't feel at home there, A man usually gets what he deserves in this world, That's the trouble with the world, Bit of Verse CHECKING THE DAY -- One counted his money at close of day And said; "I have something to put away, Crowds came to buy what I had to sell This was a day when I prospered well," Another smiled at the day's review, "I did," said he, "whet I've wished to do. Today I was clever and wise and strong, A dream has come true which I've cherished long." i "Good dey!" ssid a third, "I'm a richer man Then I was this morning when you began, For I met someone I've longed to meet And we became friends on a city street." Which is the richest? Well, money goes, And 8 dream come true marks the dream- ing's close, But he has a fortune which shall not end Who can sey at night he has made a friend. SE ih _ ~By Edgar A. Guest, Why is it that a man can pro- duce his pocket book, his dance hall ticket, postage stamps, comb, a newspaper clipping, unanswered letters, one or two snapshots, a postcard, some 1.0.U.s, the rent receipt, an obsolete grocery bill, a pawn shop ticket, a chack book and various er sundries when he is vainly Rk to find his motor local theatre last winter, his Sacteles hyp a his members ip to the Ancient and Hon. his wife asked him to duplicate before going home? May we present Mr. Know It All, the eminent psychologist, There is no questian or problem upon which he will not te'k, His tongue is wagging inreasantly upon mats ters which concen nin not in the slightest, He makes it his pleasure to butt in on a conversation gladly unsolicited glving his views upon the subject in hand, His attitude is never wrong, and anyone refuting his statements is utterly out of or- der, uneducated, There he stands, the model for journalists, the lit. erary critie, but the last picket in the fence to everyon' else, Fifteen years ago moving pictures were the joy of the hour, They furnished thrills, entertainment, a place to spent » delightful evening a new sens sation--nowadays they furnish somewhere to go, a place to spend the night, and nowadays youn don't have to have a chap- eron to go to the movies, ¥ » To keep In line with the rapid advancement of the age the talking moving pletures have made their bid for popularity and in [fifteen years time will have becom: as the movies themselves are now, sort of obsolete, but still carrying on, Af- ter all its the music that counts, Probably then an invention will have heen completed wherehy the actors get down out of the picture and perform as vaudeville, thus saving the theatre management much money, CI "What makes me laugh," he was heard to say, "is that some of the tourists act as If they had never seen water before when they gaze for the first time at the open sea," LE (Herein is published the con- cluding chapter of the great At A Glance continued story entitled, "Where is My Wandering Boy to- night?" followed by illustrations from The Follies.) x After listening intently with his head hent to catch the slightest noise, he drew back and breathed more easily after ascertaining *hat the air was as still as the grave, * But there, again, as a stealthy foot might sound a knell in an empty dungeon, so came that creeping, that twisting motion to his ears. He crawled forward and listened again. Yes, it was coming, and with each pull from those dark recesses before him it came nearer the light, He stood ready for attack, his breath coming and go- ing with sharp quick gasps.

He waited, he watehed, and when it stuck its head up above the black cavity below-- my, how that robin did go for that worm, LN Happiness is in not getting whet you want, but in pot wanting what you chm't Bet, Looks mow as though Governor Smith used the Prohibition plank in the Democratic platform for a springboard, . 0» Didjs notis how fast the ey- enin' is gettin' to come?

The same principle probably made him a mil- lionaire! COWARDS WHO HIT AND RUN (Boston Transcript) The hit-and-run driver is not de- serving of mercy. There are erim- inals for whom it is sometimes dif- ficult not to entertain feelings of sympathy, Such an attitude towards the coward who strikes in the dark with a weapon of fifty horsepower or more, and then speeds on, hop- ing to escape in the fog of anony- mity, is impossible, INTELLIGENCE TEST (Toronto Star) A contemporary says that 'the world's most difficult intelligence test is matrimony." Yet many not very intelligent people are happily married, Matrimony, after all, is not a test of intelligence, nor, as some cynic has said, of endurance, but rather of an unselfih willing- ness to give as well as take, Self- Ishness has wrecked more marrl- ages than all the other causes put together, ENTAILS PHYSICAT, STRAIN (London Telegraph) Vigorous athletes tend to regard golf solely as solace for late mid- dle-age, when the capacity to move fast has disappeared, but it is a mistake to Imagine that physical fitness is not an essential of the game. The nerve strain is obvious- ly very great, since youth is found to suffer from it, and the physical strain is not negligible. There is a difference hetween going for a stroll of three miles and playing & round or so of accurate golf which would astonish the man who has not tried it, WATERSIDE WORKERS DIVIDED ON QUESTION OF ENDING STRIKE Melhoure, Australia, Oct, 1.-- The strike of waterside workers collapsed at two ports--Adelaide and Mackay--today, At Brisbane and Melbourne several strikers and policemen were injured in out- breaks of violence which started last week.
