can't 90 out without shawl. Ah!"
The "Ah!" indicates his satisfaction
at finding the desired article. Then
he leaves the stage.
At one performance Of the play the
property man neglected to put the
shawl in its proper place, and when
the bachelor uttered the word "Ah!"
he was embarrassed to find that there
was no shawl in sight. He cast q
hasty glance about him, hoping that it
might be found, but after what must
have been to him long and painful
wait he turned up his coat collar, and
80 went out to brave the storm.
Now this hitch in the performance.
apparent as 1t was, remained unde-
tected by all but two or three in the
large audience. The other spectators
showed no sign Of suspecting that
something had gone wrong, even when
the bachelor returned later with
the shawl around his shoulders.

they have become 80 accustomed to

CHURCHMEN HIGHLY
PRAISE PRESIDENT
For Action of Closing White
House on Sundays-Re-
ports Submitted.

ATLANTA. Ga. May 1I.-President
Wilson was highly praised for closing
the whitehouse on Sunday in a report
made to the Northern Presbyterian AS
.sembly Saturday.
The consideration of reports of COM
mittees and the reception of commu-
nications occupied practically all of
lifetime of the Southern Assembly
which convened in the North Avenue
Presbyterian church.
The reports at the United Presbyter-
ian assembly were awaited with con-
siderable interest as they bore on
bated in the assemblies for years. The
report on the basis of union between
the United States and Southern chur-
ches was to be made today.
A minority report in the Northern
branch bitterly opposed the resump-
ton of relations between the assembly
and Union seminary Of New York.
At the Baptist tabernacle the COM
mittee on Sabbath observance of the
Northern assembly deplored all ten
denotes toward the dissertation of the
day and called upon the ministers to
work for more rigid Sunday laws and
for their strict enforcement.
The 400 commissioners were invit-
ed to attend a reception at $3.50 o'clock
Saturday afternoon at Agnes Scott col
lege where the girl students will be
the hostesses. In the evening a great
mass meeting will be held at which
the general theme will be social ser
vice."
DR.. Charles Sickle. superintendent
of the Bureau of Social service of the
United States will preside and address
es will be made by Marion Jackson, of
Atlanta, and James A. Macdonald,
managing editor of the Toronto Globe.
Mr.. Jackson's subject will be Chris
tian Citizenship and the Social Evil.
Jackson is the man who led the move
ment which wiped out the tenderloin

ENERGY WASTED BY
MANY BAD HABITS
Mothers Congress Discusses
Problem of Rearing
Boys Today.
National News Association,

BOSTON, May 1.-THE use of TO-
is the first thing that sends boys TO
the bad, according to Prof. NJ. w
O'Shea, who spoke before the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teachers Association here today at
its seventeenth annual meeting.
Going to the bad, added Prot
OShea, does not necessarily mean
committing any crime or getting in
Jail. The things that are most dreaded
in a boys conduct by parents and
teachers inyo've usually the forming
OF habits which waste the energy and
bring disease upon the individual Us
ually the boy goes wrong when he
fails to hold his sensuous impulses
in check. or when he fails to develop
mind and body so that he can accom-
plish what modern society thinks is
necessary for individual and social
well-being"
Prof. O'Shea stated that in other
countries it was quite the thing for a
boy to use his vitality in the gratifi-
cation of lower impulses. and The
American youth in our times" he
added. must exercise self-control and
give himself to wholesome physical,
intellectual and social activities in or
der to avoid going to the bad"
Continuing. Prof O'Shea spoke in
part as follows:
Here is the difficulty. Parents,
teachers and all students of human ma
ture know that the chief suggestions
that play upon the boy tend to arouse
the old impulses that urge him to dis
sipation. There is money in appealing
to the boys elemental passions Every
where he goes, the stage is set for him
and inflames him.
Moreover, the majority of boys are
now reared under the complex condi-
lions of city life. They are necessarily
stimulated and over-stimulated. They
live constantly with adults and initiate
them. Conduct, which might be all
right for the adult, is assimilated by
immature individuals with disastrous
results. All students of human nature
realize that over-stimulation in early
years leads to ripening too early, with
SSoootAoh VI OuS
spect or another. 1t always leads to
lack of nervous poise and balance with
the result that impulses easily get the
upper hand of an individual in times
of stress and strain. No civilization
has yet solved the problem of city life.
The chief cause of degeneracy in the
race has been the inability to conserve
youth under urban conditions.
Parents and teachers realize that
one thing that sends the boy to the
bad is the use of tobacco early So
far as the boy is concerned this is a
matter purely of social suggestion.
When he first uses tobacco everything
in him rebels. He learns it simply
because it is forced upon him through
suggestion, and when he come to use
it a particular psychological effect up
on him results. 1t makes him feel
that he is mature, so that he tends
to become indocile in his, attitude to-
ward the school and the teaching OF
the home. 1t may be that tobacco
does not hurt the boy physically, but
it certainly robs him of his simplicity
and practicity; and tends toward his
arrest on a low plane, plane on which
he does not use his mind or body for
the highest uses"
