proper encouragement there is no doubt

steel ships come along as quickly as they
can.
There cannot be too nice discrimination

Prominent men Of Fargo and
Moorhead, who nave made the two
cities their homes practically all
their lives. pleaded before a mass
meeting OF citizens held in the audi
forum Thursday evening that Fargo
college should not be permitted to
close its doors by failure on the part
of the citizens to support the $780,

Hon. Judge Charles F. Amidon,
Attorney B. G. Tenneson, Attorney
Melvin Hildreth. an alumnus of the
college; Attorney George z. Perley

Hansel of the college, were the
speakers. The meeting was called by
the board of trustees that the exact
financial status of the college could
be presented to the citizens.
Judge Amidon made the assertion
that the college is not going to close,
and that it has proved it's right to
survive by serving for 80 years.
'It survived during the eighties

Keeping Your
Boys Fit
Fourth Part.
BY Dr.. Lorns A. Summers.

ny SFs @0FI0 ~ SUMMERS
Play is a spontaneous outburst of
the natural instinct for exercise and.
therefore, should predominant in our
lives. especially in the life of a boy.
This joyous activity we find is not
confined to man alone but also is
found among all animal life. For in
stance, a kitten which did not show
constant desire for play, such as
springing at a ball or chasing its fell
low mates, would not be considered a
healthy specimen. Also men who
train hunting dogs tell us that a
puppy which does not show a nat
ural instinct to play is never expect
ed to develop into quick energetic
hunter.
A boy who does not develop the
play instinct cannot be expected to
develop into a strong aggressive man
who would be able to go forth with
fearless vigor and fight the battles OF
life.
Evary boy needs exercise to de-
velop him both physically and
mentally for our bodies are such that
the development depends upon a
constant breaking down and building
up of the millions of tiny cells which
constitute the body. The rebuilding
of these cells and the carrying away
OF the worn out cells depends upon
the activity of the blood. When the
blood supply to any part of the body
becomes stagnant that part loses its
resistance towards disease and also
to a certain degree affects the entire
body. ........
Exercise keeps the circulation of
the entire body in q state OF activity
thereby fastening the elimination
from the body OF all waste products.
1t also increases the intake Of oxygen
by the lungs which is the means by
which the waste products are burnt
up.
Every parent should at all times
encourage their children to satisfy
their natural craving for play, as this
exercise combined with the outdoor
air and sunshine will eventually re-
suit in a sturdy. robust constitution.
What the nation demands today is

These qualities are all developed in

INUNDATED IN
SEARCH FOR HOME
Woman Writes of Discour-
agement Suffered on
Weary Hunt
BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow

I have a letter from a woman this
morning which interests me, not so
much for the individual experience
it details as for the peculiar state of
public opinion which is responsible
for that experience.
She complains of the humiliation
and discouragement to which she has
been put in the search for a habita-
ton for her family, consisting, be-
sides her husband and herself, of
three children.
The prelude is more or less IA
miliar. 1t deals with that weary hunt
for an apartment, suitable in price,
location and interior arrangements,
which is one OF the recurring night
mares of the city dweller. We all
know that long forced march,"
we've taken it. We start out with
high hopes and a carefully prepared
list of addresses in the morning, and
we drag ourselves home in the even
ink spent and footsore, that little
gem of place" on which our heart is
set having constantly evaded us like
vanishing mirage. In the end we
take not what we want, not what we
have pictured, but something that we
think will serve.
This woman had gone through
all the usual preliminaries. She had
found the place. The real estate
agent had accepted her as desirable
tenant. Then suddenly she discovered
that a gulf yawned between her and
her prospective home. There were
children in the family"
Reelection on Community Calling 1t
self Christian
She. therefore, takes up her pen in
bitterness and rebellion. Why, she
asks, should she be made to feel
as if she were pariah and her
motherhood a disgrace? She argues
logically enough that since her cir
cumstances permit her home in the
house and in the neighborhood that
appeals to her, it is a distinct hard
ship to be denied it on any such
grounds. The best environment she
can afford, she insists. is proper for
the sake of her children. She feels
that she is entitled to claim this for
herself and family; and that their
right TO it should be questioned or
prohibited she regards not only as a
personal injustice but also as a harsh
reflection on a community calling it
self christian and civilized.

no wonder she feels resentful.
After reading her letter my SYM
pathies were deeply stirred. l called
up an agent happen to know on the
telephone. After listening to him for
ten minutes my sympathies were, If
anything, more deeply stirred.
He assures me that there are
quantities of delightfully."- located
apartment houses, with both reason
>able and unreasonable rent rates,
which not only accept but welcome
children.
'Of course" he went on, there
