MANY COMPLAINTS
 ABOUT CHILDREN
 ON THE SIDEWALKS
City Beautiful Department Stumped-Will Not Try to Enforce Parental
 Discipline

The city beautiful department formal ly announced yesterday that 1t had been "stumped." Questions revealed the fact that the cause of the "stumping" was numerous requests from various mem bcrs of city beautiful clubs asking that
 children be kept from skating on side
 walks, yelling too loud, singing too
 poisterously, throwing rocks too pro-
 miscously. wrestling too energetically and similar activities.
 l "We cannot enforce parental discip- l line among the young Americans of this
 town" was the surrendering gasp of
 the head of the city beautiful depart
 ment. If their parents can't keep the
 kids from yelling and running and throwing, we can't. kids kid.
 Therefore 1t appears that the only | way to keep tho school kids off the
 flower beds and the grass plots Is to personally prevail on the kid or his parent to desist The method and means
 of prevailing must be left to the dis erection of the 'prevailer and circum- stances
